this place is the bestest pizza ive ever eaten! the service is amazing and the scenery is awesome sauce

Had really high hopes for this place and was hoping to be a regular. Sadly we will not be returning. The food and service left a lot to be desired, mostly the service. Waitress had an attitude. Find another job hun. read more

If you are a teenager stay far away. We got to this place, after ordering they let us know it would be ready in 20-25 minutes. We ended up waiting over an hour only to get flimsy and raw pizza. I don't understand how hard it is to make a pizza and not undercook it. Honestly you are better off with frozen pizza. read more

Man..this place. The food is really good. Pizza is one best in the area. Pricing is reasonable and servings generous. The service is horrible. I've ordered 4 x for delivery and they have messed it up each time ( missing items/ wrong items) In dining is vert slow and they are always out of something. Could easily be a 4-5 star if they could fix the service issue. read more

This place is always so busy yet we never made time for it. What a foolish decision to delay this deliciousness. We sat in our seat against the wall watching the doyers play the Padres. As a Giants fan, I was more interested in the food menu, draft beer selection, and peaking at other people's tables to see what they ordered. I ordered a 21 oz of Deschutes Fresh Haze. My friend is right , this Haze Craze has these beers tasting like orange juice . Good, but I'll try the Eagle Rock Populist IPA next time, support a local and likely endure a hoppier experience . So our food arrives , a 16 inch Florentino featuring chicken , artichoke hearts, pesto clumps and ricotta with a garlic butter sauce . Holy Smokes are you kidding me?! This is one of the best pizzas we've had in SoCal. Plus at around $23 it's a fair price . We also had some wings that were unbelievable. Go with the buffalo and garlic paremesan. Absolutely incredible !! Don't forget that side of ranch. Coming here once or twice a month. Epic food with nice huge screens to watch the game. Thanks for a great experience !! And we have leftovers !! Wooooo! read more

Pleasant surprise! The pizza was absolutely delicious! We had a 18" pizza with half marinara / half Alfredo sauce, pepperoni with on the marinara side and artichoke / anchovies on the other. Perfect crust, crispy and full of flavors. We will definitely come visit again next time we're in the area!!! read more

Giuseppe's is not fancy-schmancy, ritzy-ditzy, or any other cutesy-wootsy rhyming phrases. It's not a Top 100 Italian Restaurants in the USA. But it belongs on my list for family style Italian, kid-friendly, well-priced, and quality. For over 50 years, they've been providing this service to us all. And the town is appreciative. The inside was packed full of families. A little patio out front with several street side tables. I like the menu. Full of pizzas, pastas, salads, and draft beers -- and even though I ordered a few things, seeing the plates of salad and pastas walk on by were grand and beautiful. Next time for sure. What did I order? Let me tell you! ============================ 1. Meatball & Sausage Plate -- Made by an 83 year old Sicilian man each morning, this was nothing short of amazing. Loved the sauce, loved the balls (perfect consistency), and loved the sausage (not housemade, but great quality and cooked to perfection). [$8.99, 5.0 stars] 2. Famous Garlic Balls -- Fried dough balls dipped in garlic butter sauce with a light sprinkle of fresh parmesan cheese. How can this be bad? Maybe bad breath, or possibly a heart-attack, but oh so good! [6 for $6.99, 4.5 stars] 3. 1/2 & 1/2 Pizza: The Good Fella & La Bella Veggie -- the "meat" side: The spicy sauce with mozzarella, pepperoni, sausage, capicola, black olives, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. The "veggie" side: mozzarella, mushroom, bell peppers, onions, artichoke hearts, tomatoes and black olives (with special order, pesto sauce). Quality ingredients, but I really didn't like the dough -- too bland, and too common bread-like. [$22.99, 3.5 stars] * They have four sauces, and you can select any one: Signature sauce, spicy signature sauce, Alfredo or olive oil & garlic Service ====== A special shout out to Owner and staff. The owner came and ended up sitting with my pal Tony and I. Told us his story. His son was our main server, very nice and very funny guy! The rest of the staff was helpful and very pleasant. Overall, casual service and very nice folks. Conclusion ========= While I wouldn't likely order the pizza again, the balls were king and stole the night (meatballs and garlic balls). I imagine, and dream about, a meatball sandwich, a sausage sandwich, a bowl of pasta, and a mountain of greek or loaded salad. They would all be regular items in my rotation if I lived in the area. Of course, garlic balls -- every time! read more

This is a solid pizza spot for us Glendalians. It might be short on the charm you might want from a small pizza joint, but the pies are solid and the other items have all been delicious. We lean towards their great meatballs as a topping and mix up other veggies with them. The sausage and meatball side is awesome as well. And we always add the fried zucchini and the grilled wedge salad. Good place, good price, oh and some choice beers available as well. read more

Great food and service, highly recommend visiting visiting. We got the barbecue chicken pizza which tasted great

incredible food! after ownership change they actually improved the service! service time is shorter which I love! thanks Giuseppe's read more

Absolutely love this spot so much. I genuinely try stop by anytime I get off work early and get a fresh pie with some French fries. I also always get a beer and choose a random one everytime I go in!! I always do a half and half pizza and some fries with ranch and it's always incredibly bomb. The staff is super friendly and lovely and the owner is a super cool guy. There is a female worker who is just incredible and full of life as well as a gentlemen who wears a hat, he's amazing as well as he's served me the last couple of times and always makes sure we are taken care of!! There is also a younger gentlemen who works there who is super polite and always on top of everything. The food is incredible, the people working there are incredible and this is my favorite pizza spot ever, yes you heard that right. read more

We had a party of 12 in there on a Saturday night to celebrate 2 birthdays. Excellent service and food. I would highly recommend! We ordered 2 large orders of garlic balls (everyone's favorite), 2 meatball/sausage plates, 2 bruschetta platters, 2 pastas and 2 pizzas. We were all happily full and had a little bit of leftovers. I heard multi people rave about the rigatoni and meat sauce pasta we ordered, simple but the sauce was memorably delicious!!! They don't take reservations but will work with you to try to find the best time to come in for a larger party. read more

I used Giuseppe's for catering for a work event and they were amazing! Food was hot, delicious, and well packed. The new owner was great every step of the way and helped me choose good options for the event. The entire experience was great and I highly recommend if you're looking for catering for an event or just want quality, flavorful pizza for yourself. read more

Ordered a Margherita pizza and not quite sure what I got. It's a pizza with a Ton of oregano dumped on top. Can't even eat this mess. Why is it So hard to get a decent pizza ?? PS - they are making me a replacement with Out the can of oregano dumped on top. read more

Giuseppe's Pizzeria - A mess with a can of oregano dumped on top. - Pizza Near Me - Montrose, California

First time here. Was looking for some place both my son and I could agree on. Our server was nice and made recommendations that were great. The servings are plentiful and the food was delicious. My sonshine had the Cajun Chicken Pasta (the serving was so big we could have shared) and I had classic spaghetti with their signature sauce and one big meatball plopped right smack in the middle. This place is worthy of 5 stars, but a group of customers huddled in the corner that appeared to be regulars were EXTREMELY LOUD!!! Some of the staff participated in the noise while the other staff did nothing, but would look at them and then look at us. I wish I had sat outside to enjoy the meal, but instead we rushed to get out of there. read more

My last experience that involved food at Giuseppe's was great. Unfortunately, that was a long time ago. Since then I have not been able to order from there because of TERRIBLE hours. Mondays are closed, as well as all hours that are not 3pm-8pm. I guess business must be booming and the margins sky high? I did manage to place an (online) order in the narrow window, only to get an email 15 minutes later that the order was cancelled because one menu item could not be fulfilled. I got a call almost 7 minutes after the email confirming the detail, and I asked to replace the order with something they did have. I was put on hold for 3 minutes only to be told that they were closing. This is with ample time to go before the precious 8pm closing time. I will not kill myself to return here even if the pizza is pretty good. I can go up or over one block and have Byblos or Big Mamas Papas. Or over to La Canada and have Hello Pizza, LC Imports or Georgee's. read more

This pizza is literally so good I took a photo and had to tell everyone on Yelp how great it is after my first slice, as I currently am still inside the restaurant and enjoying the nice waiters customer service. Please come eat here immediately read more

Dirty,messy and overpriced place Poor service/no napkins,salt and pepper on the table/ Waiter in very dirty clothes....omg ‍‍ The table was broken so couldn't enjoy the food I don't recommend this place Very disappointed read more

It's a family pizza joint. The new management and manager is excellent!! Great hot pizza off the oven, great beer specials .

Small pizza parlor on the west side of Montrose. Thanks to my softball team's manager for this find (Thanks Fernando). We finally made it to Giuseppe's after a few times of planning an after-game dinner visit. The pizza, pasta, sides/appetizers and service here is good. Hence the 5 stars. What put Guiseppe's over the top is their special deal for big groups. Our whole softball team drove all the way from Pasadena after our game. The have a $10 per person (drinks and appetizers not included), AYCE pizza and pasta. Yes, your whole group will pay $10 for as many pizzas and pastas you want. You can even take home the pizza and pasta if you have leftovers, yes, $10 a person. They have big screen TV's for your MNF game! Overall, we ordered the pizza and pasta deal and some of us ordered extra wings/cheese balls/salads. Everything was good! Definitely be back in the future for another softball team outing! Go Renegades! Credit cards accepted and plenty of street parking and a couple of free parking lots. The closing hours vary so check with the restaurant. read more

Food is good. Service is really slow. We now just order for take out. Chicken Parm is one of our favorites along with the capresse salad read more

I used to really enjoy coming here, there is a nice atmosphere and the service was always good. However, one time I came in and ordered pasta and the inside of the pasta was frozen. I don't agree with paying for something that is reheated and especially reheated poorly. I have not been back since. read more

We hosted a teenager bday party here after some bowling. The waitress was very nice and attentive. She brought out the pizza, garlic balls, and plenty of drinks quickly, which was great since we had 10 hungry and thirsty kids. We brought a cake with us, which the waitress made very easy for us to give a slice to each kid. Great place to feed a group and relax. We are definitely coming back to sample the rest of their menu. read more

I have been here a couple of times, but this review was for a visit the day before Thanksgiving. This is a casual place and very comfortable--with TVs in every corner playing sports. We came here during happy hour, which has wine and beer specials (with a good selection of both). We started with bruschetta--which was very nice with nice, rich tomatoes and perfect bread. For the pizza, we ordered the vegetable and the Sicilian. I loved the Sicilian. There crust is crisp and thin. I loved the thick bites of Italian sausage and the capicola was sublime. It was really busy so the pizza took a while, but worth the wait. Definitely worth a visit. read more

This place is the worst.... I ordered a kids cheese pizza Chicken wings and onion rings at a little before 9pm The place was dead .... 45 minutes later we walked out without eating They wasted my time The table we sat at was dirty Unsanitary behavior was observed in the kitchen area... What a crappy, two bit, lame excuse for a restaurant You made my kid sad and hungry Never Again!!!! read more

Had a bite of my pizza right when it came and it was refrigerator cold. I believe they're using premade doughs and just keep it frozen till throwing toppings and into the oven but they didn't cook it enough for the dough to get nice and warm, it was literally cold like 40-50°... can't believe they serve this level of pizza for 22$. Should be a 10$ pizza max. My pizza 16" had 2 toppings. Cheese and basil. 22$. Go figure. I can get a 16" delicious authentic Neapolitan for less than that. Did I mention the beer is overpriced as well? read more

Homemade pizzas, perfect dough and made in the oven as it was traditionally made. Local very well located and decorated, music at its right point and warm lights that make you feel like you are in your living room.The attention from the great girl, very attentive.I will be back . read more

Good Italian restaurant, different from all the others, with an alternative style. Impeccable attention from the restaurant staff. Quick service and very good value for money. Tasty pizza and all food in general. Without a doubt, the perfect place to relax as a couple or with friends. We will repeat it soon. read more

Excited that Giuseppe's has a new owner! Food is back to being delicious. Service was great! Give it a chance. You won't regret it! Thanks for chatting with us Chris! read more

Our waitress Dom was amazing very knowledgeable and respectful such a pleasure to be around

Very welcoming. During this pandemic, we are all a little weary about eating indoors, we felt safe, social distancing is being practice, tables are being sanitized. Nichole was absolutely amazing, she's super friendly and attentive. We had the Marguerite pizza, and it was delicious. Recommended, great experience. Thank you read more

DELICIOUS lasagna! And, as of June 2022 they actually ARE open on Mondays, hours just haven't been updated yet.

Friendly neighborhood pizzeria! Got a half Mediterranean salad. And got a Good Fella supreme pizza 16" w anchovies. The manager and servers were friendly even though it was our first time here. read more

New management not quite ready for primetime: * Website/Yelp hours are wrong (not open for lunch as of Nov 2021 * Answered the phone with a confused 'hello?' Long story short, organized a team meet up (1st since covid) to have people come in for lunch, only to find out they're not open during the posted times. Lesson: Call first read more

Service We've frequented Guisepies for years and seen the ebb and flow with food and service. My husband and I were there tonight. I can't speak highly enough about our server Hannah. The pizza was yummy, the wine welcomed, but Hannah made our/my night. Kind, attentive, patient. As I tried to share with her, she has skills that made my tired day complete and skills that will stead her well in all of her future plans. Kudos to Guisepies for a fine hire. Treat her well. read more

Very good food but it is always short on staff during the busy weekends. The manager knuckled under to a very pushy woman and her family b the other night. They asked an older couple who were seated to move to a smaller table because this lady wanted their spot. Now there was planty of room for her to sit elsewhere. But nooooo she wanted that spot. The other couple didn't want to move and left. I would not have moved for her. The restaurant was wrong to do that for this woman. read more

Went for late lunch yesterday. I had chicken wings that were ok. My daughter ordered fettuccini Alfredo with chicken. They were out of fettuccini. That's odd but ok. Switched to rotini. Sorry no photo but pasta was absolutely swimming in sauce. Not appetizing at all and the chicken was over cooked and dry. Next time (If there is one) we'll stick with the pizza. read more

My fav pizza spot. Their dough is super delicious just slightly sweet. All the sauces are great.

So sad. My buddies and I used to go there for "Wings Wednesdays" almost every week a few years ago. It was amazing. Then Covid hit and we missed a couple years. We returned this last week only to find the formerly meaty wings were tiny little bones with very little meat on them; the once great garlic balls were horrible, and the service was atrocious. I had been warned it had dropped a bit in quality but had no idea how bad it had become. Never again. read more

Pizza was not bad - just OK. The reason for 2 stars is customer service (or lack thereof). Went in on a empty afternoon (only a few other people there). Place was well staffed with college-aged kids so expected timely service. Asked what beers they had on tap, as the gentlemen rattled off the names, he stood behind the bar and tasted the beer before sharing his recommendation (likely just a reason to drink on the job) I then chose one of the beers (again the place was empty, and the staff seemed busy chatting amongst themselves), it took this guy over 10 minutes to get me my beer. After I told him which beer I wanted he actually went to chat with his coworker - As if! When we finally got the beers, one of the glasses was chipped on the drinking surface and nearly cut my lip. Service sucked, pizza was OK. Likely not returning due to poorly qualified staff in the front house. 2 stars read more
