Pizza has great flavor, but it's heavy. A lot of dough. Quite the belly buster. I enjoy it when I'm craving more of a "deep dish" style pizza (even though it's not technically deep dish but it has that feel). The only bummer about Gondolas is it usually takes at least an hour for any takeout order to be ready and even so it's rarely ready when you show up for pickup. Just count on it taking awhile and the wait will be worth it! read more

We gave Gondola's another try. Once again, VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! First, when we finally got someone on the phone (Thursday evening, not a weekend), I asked how many people a family size Chicken Alfredo serves. The girl answered, "It depends on how much you eat". What kind of answer is that?? Second, I was told the order would be ready in 20 minutes. We arrived there 25 minutes later and they had NOT made it. We had to wait another 35 minutes, plus our order was incorrect. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. We tried but you failed. read more

Still a homey feel inside and lots of seating. Easy to create your own pizza with ingredients galore. We did a half and half extra large: sausage, pepperoni, onions and bell peppers and the other half Canadian bacon wig pineapple. Enjoyed the thinner crust but not too thin. Liked that they put tons of ingredients along with cheese and sauce. They don't scrimp. The crust edge is crispy which was nice. We also grabbed a slice of their dark chocolate cake and it was moist and really good. Glad we decided to come back and check it out again. Was pleased. Ordered to go but the staff was friendly. read more

First time coming here and will not be coming back. Pizza was super floppy will very little flavor and the garlic bread was very hard and dry. Seems like it was old and not fresh. read more

This place it's consistently great. I order the preliminary and mushroom large and it feeds s family of four. For less than 10 bucks more you can get an extra large pizza and that's a great deal. Leftovers are just a good. Plenty of parking is available. Prices are fairly decent. Staff is super friendly. This is a great choice when I'm the la mirada area. Indoor sit down dining is available in a casual fun setting. read more

Got a lasagna dinner to go tonight. It was lukewarm and salty. Piece of garlic bread was dinky. What's happened to this fabulous family restaurant? Sad that since the owner passed the food (except the pizza) has gone downhill. A month ago I had one of their Caesar salads and the dressing made me ill. Possibly not properly refrigerated and in the temperature danger zone. Won't order this again. I most likely won't be back for a while and when we do go back, we will definitely get their sausage and meatball pizza with pineapple and onions. Their pizza is delicious. I am 63 years old and have been dining at Gondola Pizza since I was 17 years old. I also enjoyed their other restaurant, Agrusa's. The only thing I can think of is the food has changed since the owner has passed. The only logical reason. We will be back; however, not as often. For the last 38 yrs we have lived in South Orange County and once a week we love to come into town and dine at Gondola Pizza. We will most likely be back every 5 weeks for their pizza. read more

I haven't been back for a while. I used to come here on a weekly basis for their Hawaiian pizza and antipasto salads. I have always enjoyed their pizza. Since COVID, there were other pizza locations closer. Long story short, I came in today to try out their linguine and clams and a side of tarimisu. The portion of the pasta was huge. The flavor was decent. I would recommend ordering it without green onions. The family size linguine and clams came with a side salad or soup. I chose the salad. It was a good salad. The tiramisu was very good. I enjoyed it very much. For those who have never come here, the service consists of a customer lining up to order and pay. Then you are given a number, if your dining there. They give you your food. If you need to refill your drinks or pack up your food, you have to go up there to ask for the items. The dirty dishes get picked up by staff after you leave. It's a very mom and pop shop type of pizza joint. The locals come eat here a lot. read more

One of the best pizzas I've ever had. No flop on the crust. Excellent red sauce and very good cheese. The pepperoni was perfectly crispy.

First time trying this local pizza joint and they definitely don't skimp on the toppings. Two slices of the large were more than enough for me thanks to the loads of sausage and veggies that they pile high on their pizza. The prices are a bit high for pizza, but the amount of food you get is also more than you would probably expect. We were referred here by one of the other local businesses, and are glad to have found it. read more

We came in for a quick snack during happy hour and were truly amazed and grateful for above and beyond customer service provided by Sophia. Not only is the food good but service is excellent. The restaurant's environment gives off a true Italian place. read more

We waited a while because they were poppin busy. It's a Saturday night. The waitress was understandably all over the place. Our food was good. I really liked the eggplant parmesan. My husband got the calzone, which he enjoyed. It was loud, but there are a lot of families present. read more

If you have the right expectations, Gondolas is amazing. It's been around since my boomer Dad was in high school, locally owned pizza place and red-sauce Italian casual spot. They also have good pastas and salad, for eat-in or takeout. Favorites among my family are the pizzas - any toppings, we haven't found a bad one yet and their pizza sauce in particular is delicious. Get a meatball with your pasta, yum. And their antipasto salad is pretty standard and tasty. Their hot torpedo sandwiches are my dad's favorite, and big enough to share, especially if you're getting anything else with it. The bread that comes with the dinners is surprisingly blah, for how good their crust is. And if it's not a red sauce here, I'd skip it personally. Here's where the expectations come in - it WILL take time to receive your order! It may even take time to TAKE your order! This isn't P Hut or dominos. They have folks working hard and make your order from scratch. We love a longtime local biz! read more

Service 6/10- unfortunately the many times I've been here the service is either slow or they either get my order completely or halfway wrong. So that's why I recommend carry out . Atmosphere 7/10- Reminds me of sports bar if you're into that . Not really a unique design..... Food 9/10 - it's great food from the pizzas , salads , subs and pasta . Don't get me wrong but I would honestly just take your food to go at this esblishment it's not really a restaurant. You pay for the food first which sucks because you don't know how it'll taste until it comes . They ask if you want to carry out or eat in. read more

I ordered a minestrone soup to go and here's what you get for 7 dollars. A cup 60 percent full there needs to be more respect for people spending money here. Who ever is serving this should be fired! read more

I had a HORRIBLE phone experience with an employee today. She refused to give me her name and refused to provide me with any manager information. I was placed on hold for over 20 minutes and then had to call back because I was transferred to an answering service. Every time I called, I couldn't speak I was placed on hold immediately. Once I finally got someone on the phone, I instantly received an attitude and when I asked to speak to a manger she responds with "a manager isn't here today, so are you going to order or not because we have a line of people inside waiting and I don't have time for this." When I proceeded to tell her about my wait time on hold, she proceeds to tell me "we have an hour wait, and we are busy." I've worked in customer service before and in a busy food service job as well, this is not how you speak to someone, regardless if you are busy and frustrated. I absolutely loved coming to gondolas and never had such a bad experience in my life. read more

This place is pretty busy as for the pizza I havethink it's decent and definitely better than your chain stores like Pizza Hut and domino's but the best dish here is the fettuccine alfredo... the soecial right now is the fettuccine with chicken for 22.99 and the regular fettuccine without chicken is 24.99 read more

Terrible. Waited an hour for our orders, finally had to get it to go. Cold food too. Not busy, only five tables were full and this is Mother's Day. Flavor is also diminished, compared to the past. What the heck Gondola? read more

I've been looking for that local hole in the wall pizza that satisfies your pizza craving. And Gondola Pizza is that place. The pizza was so good that my son's eyes lit up as he bit into his first slice. We love that the crust isn't too fluffy but not super crispy either, it's just right. We haven't tried any specialty pizzas. I've tried the chicken pesto sandwich which was delicious. The large is actually pretty large. I only ate one half and had to save it for later. The place itself gets busy but the workers move fast and are friendly. They offer dine in and take out. You can also order for delivery with DoorDash. I recommend calling ahead if you plan on taking it home, although depending on how busy it is, it may take awhile to get through. read more

OK, so I was at gondola Pizza on Mother's Day. It was me and my dad and my grandma and it took like an hour and 40 mins to give us our food. I ordered a soup a fettuccine Alfredo. My grandma ordered a pasta, a salad and eggplant Parmesan and my dad ordered like like a sandwich and the only thing that came out where the drink is just soda the salad and the and the sandwich and it was really annoying and we got a refund and we got in order to go they give us our order to go. It seemed like they forgot about it and it seemed like the order was really like. I didn't put much a car into it like my Alfredo. The sauce was literally just hot water and it was really watery and the spaghetti was like really plastic taste like Chef Boyardee like it was awful and they can't even deliver a free tiramisu to my house im so sad read more

Pros: Food is pretty darn tasty. Generous portions. Decent pricing. Cons: They forget your drinks and you have to return to the counter and ask for them. Half of your party gets their food and other half watches in envy as they eat while their bellies growl. Waited an entire hour to get a pizza. They get too busy and are unable to provide timely service. Only one cook read more

Everything this place is amazing from the food to the staff! They pizza is loaded and the family spaghetti is so yummy!

Gondola Pizza - Pizza Near Me - La Mirada, California

"Blatant disrespect and possible racial discrimination." This was one of the most upsetting dining experiences I've ever had. My wife and I came in around 5 PM, ordered a combination pizza and beer, and waited... and waited. We finished our beers but no pizza. When we asked the staff, they brushed us off with a lazy excuse: "Combination pizza takes longer." Meanwhile, other tables -- who arrived 20 to 30 minutes after us -- were being served the exact same pizza. When we asked again, we were told, "It's coming soon." Then another table that arrived much later than us got their combination pizza before us. It was clear we were being ignored. We demanded to speak to a supervisor. Shockingly, she offered no apology, no explanation -- just rudely said we'd get a refund and could eat the pizza for free when it finally came. Her attitude was disrespectful and offensive. As an Asian couple, we couldn't ignore the feeling that this might have been racially motivated. We left deeply disappointed, angry, and humiliated. This place ruined our evening, and their behavior is completely unacceptable. I strongly warn others -- think twice before coming here. read more

Always a solid pizza if your from the la Mirada area you have had it once in your life the deluxe is our go to as well as the pepperoni . This is local pizza place vibes nothing to fancy just family owned and fast pace during rush hour. They should put some arcade games back since they get a lot do teams eating their. The Italian dressing is a must. read more

Hearty and delicious Italian food. I love their pizza ,wings and pasta. Also, they are very generous with the portion.

I have been a customer for over 20 years. I have always enjoyed the food. However, the service has always been an issue in my experience. So many times I have waited at the counter to place my order while two sometimes three employees are standing there laughing and talking. Totally ignoring me. I have seen my order ready and don't get it until I have to ask for it. As for the ambiance, it is comfortable. Nothing fancy but it is welcoming. read more

Gondola is a landmark for La Mirada and surrounding cities. I hadn't eaten here in years, but my grandpa brought some pizza home from here recently. It was good, solid pizza, but not my fave. I think I prefer the pasta here. I remember it being fantastic. I would like to go dine in and enjoy pasta and wine. Ambiance is casual and classic, and there has never been a problem with the service. There is plenty of parking as this is in a huge center. read more

Food was good i ordered a large pepperoni and a sausage sub . The pizza was good the cheese was very cheesy. The sub was okay . I was missing something, I just don't know what , it was delish and it was a big portion for the price . Totally shareable if you were sharing with someone . I ordered via yelp and it was ready when I got there , they were nice . Every time I've gotten there there's always a lot of people having dinner. The popular place to have dinner with your family. read more

I've been coming to gondola for almost 20 years and it was my favorite pizza in the area. But something has changed and it's not the same quality especially the crust which used to be my favorite and not it's just basic. Bummed read more

This is a local family owned Italian restaurant, and by far the best Italian food you will ever eat! We have tried everything from here and some of our favorites are the anti-Pasta salad with their homemade Italian dressing, DEFINITELY THE PIZZA! Any toppings are good but the sausage is the absolute best! You have to get sausage on your pizza! We also love the meatball sandwiches! We add cheese and mushroom to ours, the meatballs are a homemade recipe and unmatched anywhere else! Their garlic bread is also amazing! You really can go wrong! Our other family members love the lasagna, and the spaghetti, too! Next time you're in La Mirada you have to grab some Gondola Pizza! They also have a great lunch special that is a salad a humongous slice of pizza and a drink for a really low price! read more

This place is a joke when it comes to answering the phone. We've called multiple times and either someone picks up and just leaves us hanging in silence (no greeting, no "hold on," nothing), or they throw us on hold and never come back. We've sat there for over 20 minutes with no answer. If they can't handle something as simple as picking up the phone and taking an order, I have zero faith in their customer service. Total waste of time -- don't even bother. read more

Exceptional food and family- owned restaurant with history in La Mirada. Disappointed in the young staff members there who speak rudely and entitled to customers. No pleasantries. read more
