King Cole Pizza - King Cole pizza with extra mushrooms - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Since 1972, King Cole Pizza has been serving up good NY style pizza to the Boyle Heights neighborhood in Los Angeles. My wife and I stopped in to get carryout, and found the expensive pizza to be tasty and the carryout process to be good. We've passed by this place many times on our way to visit our daughter's in-laws, and decided on this Saturday night to bring back pizzas for dinner. Didn't really plan ahead, so figured out what to order once we found parking in their dedicated surface lot (there were plenty of spots, even on the weekend). Didn't find any coupons on-line, so used their built-in specials, ordering two large one-topping pizzas for $44.95 (a large one topping is $23.25 + $2.45 normally)...a third pizza would have been $52.95 (buy two get one free). The pizzas were ready within 15 minutes, and tasted pretty good. It was a classic NY crust (thin in the middle, and a large thick outer crust perfect for dipping), foldable and had a generous amount of toppings (pepperoni one one, and canned mushrooms on the other) with a decent amount of cheese and a sweet simple pizza sauce that I enjoyed. Each pizza could feed 2 - 3 hungry people. They do have a large indoor dining area, and a small outdoor patio facing the front (confirmed that it is dog friendly). read more

What I Ordered: King Cole Deluxe Pizza ($18.95) Chicken Ranch Pizza ($18.95) Buffalo Wings ($13.95) Sweet & Spicy Rice Wings ($15.95) Potato Wedges ($7.95) Food: The King Cole Deluxe Pizza was a combination of some of my favorite toppings including pepperoni, sausage, onions, mushrooms, and green peppers. I was surprised at how much toppings they put onto the pizza! They really load up every topping, so much that I was unable to pick up the pizza by the crust without the extra toppings falling into my plate The Chicken Ranch PIzza was an interesting combination of ranch dressing, chicken, onions, and tomatoes. This was my first time trying pizza with the tomato sauce replaced by ranch dressing but it was better than I expected. I was glad to find that they have the good kind of ranch (we all know there's bad ranch). I honestly preferred the King Cole Deluxe Pizza over this one, but if you LOVE ranch, I don't think it would hurt to try. I actually enjoyed the wings more than the pizzas here! The Buffalo Wings here have a unique flavor of sauce that is different from other buffalo wings at most pizza spots. It has a more prominent flavor of pepper that you wouldn't expect from a buffalo sauce, but the flavor profiles fall together quite nicely. The wings have a good amount of meat in them and comes slathered in the sauce, which I loved. Even with the big wing pieces, each bite of meat came with a strong punch of flavor. It also comes with a cup of ranch that is an absolute NECESSITY. I say once again, the ranch here is the good kind of ranch! The last item I enjoyed was the Rice Wings, and these were most definitely my favorite from the menu. They have the perfect breading to meat ratio with a crispy outside and a juicy inside. They definitely have inspirations from the flavors and style of Korean Fried Chicken with an interesting combination of American flavors. I got the Sweet and Spicy flavor because that's what the owner recommended, but I would love to try typical American wing flavors such as Mango Habanero, Honey Lemon BBQ, and Spicy Parmesan. The reason it is called Rice wings is because the breading is includes rice in them, which adds onto the crispy texture in every bite. Service: All the staff members I interacted with were friendly! Some of the staff members apparently have been working there for more than 40 years, which is amazing. Ambiance: A classic old pizza spot vibe with hints of modern. They have their own parking lot, which is always a nice to have in Los Angeles. They have both indoor and outdoor seating areas. They also have an area in the back for big parties that is available for reservations. read more

Been literally coming here for over 30 years. Cant think of any mom & pops resto that has gone almost unchanged like King Coles. Rarely have a bad experience, pizza tastes almost the same as it did when I was a kid. Small renovations and upgrades through the years, but all for the better. Its not super dark anymore and looks clean. This is thin style pizza, toppings are yummy made the old school way. Dont come as often as i dont live in the area, and it is pricey compared to corporate pizzas, but you get what you pay for. Fresh and handmade. read more

This pizza place looks like it's a local's favorite. Just right off the 60 freeway. I'm not a big fan of pizza and only eat it when the toppings are really delicious, and yes, the toppings here are of my likings. The chicken ranch pizza was one of the best pizza I've had in LA. The fried chicken was also delicious and crispy. read more

Me personally, If you arent from BH then you wouldnt understand the culture with this spot . This was a reward for a lot of us growing up in the area, wether it was after a game or a family night. The food to us will always be one of a kind, from the environment to the workers to the people eating. Its a blessing to know this spot is still around through all the bs the world faces! Everytime we order here it always gives me flash backs! One of a king place in my opinion... read more

I'm 37 and have been coming here since I was 10. It is a staple of this city. Great food and great time. The pizza is good, the prices are fair. We were a group of 21 and they opened the back room for us. They can accommodate large groups. The appetizers came out quick and hot. So did the pizzas. Very efficient. Our family had a great time. read more

Worst Pizza Ive ever had. Barely any sauce. Way too greasy. Need to eat like 20 slices just to feel full.

Casual pizzeria serving Italian-American staples in an old-school space with arcade games & booths. The pizza dough is light and airy. It is not greasy. The flavor is absolutely amazing. I like the pepperoni pizza with a lot of cheese. The ham and pineapple pizza is so good. It is great for large family gathering. The prices are reasonable. The ambient has a vintage look that I love. It so close to the 60 freeway. read more

Food is way too expensive. We paid $39.00. Ordered a small supreme pizza. No sauce on it, raw tomatoes thrown on top and canned mushrooms. The clam chowder was ridiculous. They should've been embarrassed to serve this to people. Watery as hell with hardly any potatoes and clams. Even though my husband liked the food. I didn't. I told him we will NEVER go back. read more

So first time here and was wondering after reading all the negative comments if it would even be worth it. Let me tell you I'm so glad I had my son Big Mateo reading the negativity to me before coming here. Guess what. It's NOT True. If you know pizza and you understand flavors and yumminess you'll understand what this place is. Let's go to some pizza basics. Sauce not overpowering. Bread is delicious. Ambiance is on point. Music is on point. Nice genre of playback. Beside your in raza hood and they are doing something correct. Back to the fool got pizza wings and spaghetti beers and drink. Even with a full house and me telling the wifey start your time clock see how long this takes service was on point. Food came out hot and on time. Girls at the front helping and advising of specials and I appreciate that. Older gentleman's manning the ovens and the staff cleaning as soon as people get up. I enjoyed that part of the night. Oh let me tell you the wings two kind but the original style fire if you know you know. Pollo Vagabundo taste and I don't even like chicken wings. Thank you King Cole's. I'll be back and enjoy again don't listen to these negative haters. They probably out of towners that left. I appreciate the service. The food. And the atmosphere at King Cole's pizza. read more

Walking through the doors you feel the heart and soul of Boyle Heights. A landmark restaurant in the community that is always waiting to serve its guests. The service is warm and friendly as if you're being welcomed into someone's home. The menu offers various pizzas salads and pastas you may experience a price shock it tends to be a bit expensive here. The pizza comes hot with an excellent cheese pull. This is not the world's greatest pizza but it is the best Boyle heights has to offer. The only issue with the pizza is the price point. The wings are not the star of the show. The sauce is underwhelming and the wings meat ratio is very low. The surprise star is the antipasto salad. Everything in the salad is very fresh and tasty and pairs well with the savory pizza and wings. The restaurant charges for refills so be warned if you drink a lot of refreshments with your meal it will get pricy. There is plenty of seating inside and the ambiance transport you back to a time long forgotten but always remembered by the people that have worked here for over 20 years. Bring your friends and family enjoy a great meal just be prepared to pay a premium price. read more

Best pizza in LA! Enough said. Want thick crust pizza? This is not your place. Viva King Cole's!

Poor quality food, sub-par customer service, and overpriced. The restaurant is darkly lit and does not have a welcoming atmosphere. Pizza is soggy, and toppings fell right off. Buffalo wings are not Buffalo, instead a makeshift Mexican salsa. The only thing good is the potato wedges. Everything is served on cheap plasticware. read more

King Cole Pizza - a sign for king cole's pizza - Pizza Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Amazing more traditionally Italian pizza. They don't do the red sauce on the pizza style that I've been used to and I loved how they made the dough thin and perfectly baked. They put fresh tomatoes on top which was a wonderful experience. As most place in LA, the parking lot of super tiny but you can find some parking next door. We ordered online but you can also order over the phone which is convenient. Inside has that old school pizza parlor vibe if you're into that. read more

Over rated ass pizza , extremely extremely expensive and for what? 2 Below mid pizzas wings and potato wedges for 100$ honestly very disappointed your pizza made me throw up on how greasy it was. Better off going to little Cesar's and saving 80$ for better pizza n wings. read more

Ordered using Grub Hub. This was: Medium (Regular Pizza) 4 top: Pepperoni, sausage, jalapeños, and bell peppers. Very low quality pizza. Paid $25 for soggy, wet crust, paper thin pizza(regular crust), and EXTREMELY GREASY. Ended up just tossing it. (Dispute with my credit card) Toppings are in excess and did order extra at all. Pepperoni gained no color from the baking and still appears to be in its precooked state. The larger bell pepper pieces and jalapeños were also still raw. Local pizza spots would provide superior effort in pie and topping prep for 1/5 of the cost from that of King Cole. There's no effort in the pie crust or toppings whatsoever and a bit of a let down considering this is a pizzeria. Ingredients seem fresh but judging from the lack of presentation, overtopped, greasy and overall terrible appearance the flavor surely would come short. As you may know, when expectations are hindered from just the obvious visual defects of your meal, any effort that should result in satisfaction would simply end in disgust. As a culinary enthusiast, and amateur chef this place is not recommended for pizza. There are others that will exceed where this place failed. There biggest failure and cold hard sign that the pizza is going to be bad was the "Sell Out" advertisement printed directly on the pizza box. This marketing/spam is a clear tactic for profit which would suggest profit from food sales is not well. Remove the advertisement‍(any successful restaurant never needs such thing and owners know this). You're just shooting yourself in the foot. Invest in better prep cooks so that they can make your profit instead of UNIVISIONs spam. Fred, my feedback suggestions if they mean anything to you.... Maybe have your team to take greater care in crust preparation. (Your history of reviews suggest youve done nothing to improve the crust) The more toppings selected, each one should be thinned out as to not hinder the development of the pie. Spread toppings evenly and prep them to equivalent sizes to promote even cooking when the pie is baking. Is your cheese fresh mozzarella? Try using freshly grated Mozzarella and preferably freshly made. Freeze it a bit to help with grating it. It will help cut down on the fat and additives that end up on the pie after it bakes. read more

Best pizza place in east Los Angeles. You must eat at the restaurant. Pizza melts in your mouth

This place an atrocity! Came and bought two medium pizzas cost me frosty dollars , pulled up and this shit is smaller than small. A Costco pie is bigger than this shit A little cesará pizza is bigger than this shit and thank god I didn't order no wings , seen the waiter bringing some to the table and it should be a crime to charge people what the do for an 8 piece Places like this don't even deserve service You serve in a low income community and can't even serve decent size pies for decent prices definitely felt ripped off leaving this place and it's definitely the last time me or any of my people come here. King coles was a huge staple in the Boyle heights community but they've become such a disappointment read more
