I prefer pizza to be crispy and have some structure. Their pizza is very doughy and floppy. It was good but not my preference. Cesar salad had more anchovy flavor but not bad. Their side of ranch is heavy on the dill, again not bad, just different. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also maybe it's the night we went but there were a lot of younger kids and teens running around and climbing on the walls??[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Pepperoni & olive
Johnny M.

Review of 07/24 - better than last time. Self service pizza joint. Pizza- not bad for price. Wish they had a little bit better crust but pizza tasted good. Uneven how they put on the olives. Cashiers are decent and friendly. Nice set up in terms of seating and options. Options include areas for dogs as well.

GET SAUCED (gluten free) on top EPIC. BBQ. CHICKEN. On bottom

We love coming to Pitfire for a chill dinner! We had a late dinner and were craving pizza, it was really crowded because a sports team arrived but there was so much seating that it actually didn't take that long to order at the counter and get our food. I usually get the cheese pizza which I love but decided to switch it up and try the special Get Sauced pizza on gluten free crust which was great! The blend of vodka sauce, marinara, and pesto worked so well together. My fiance got the bbq chicken pizza which he said was just what he was craving. The servers are always so nice and work so hard!

Nice box.

Ordered the Honey Bear pizza. Was super excited to try it because it's listed as one of their more popular items. Beautiful looking pizza. Bland in taste. Very bland. Fennel-less sausage. Barely any sauce. It wouldn't have mattered. The most flavorless pie I've ever tasted. Had to doctor it up a lot with my own garlic and basil. The honey was the most prominent flavor. Essentially I was eating a dessert.

Found my new go to when I'm in the area!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We did a take out order and just being there in person i think we need to eat in person for the vibes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's spacious! Plenty of seating and they have a parking lot and more street parking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff were on it fulfilling take out orders and also orders of people dining in. I love the variety of their menu and was happy with the pasta i chose! I added chicken to it and it was the shredded type, i wish it was grilled but whatever it was still good. The Hawaiian pizza was yummy but i wish it was bigger lol We'll come back so we can dine in.

Pitfire always hits the spot, but the seasonal jalapeño, pepperoni, and pineapple pizza was next-level good. The crust was perfectly charred, the pepperoni had that crispy curl, the pineapple was super fresh, and the jalapeños added the perfect kick without overpowering everything. It's that perfect sweet-spicy-savory combo. I also got the kale salad, and it was honestly one of the best kale salads I've had -- super fresh, great dressing, and the toppings actually bring flavor instead of just being filler. Light, crunchy, and a great balance with the pizza. Service was fast, everything came out hot, and the food was consistently great. Definitely recommend if you want something a little elevated but still casual and delicious.

Pepperoni pizza

Pizza was mediocre it had limited cheese. The pizza sauce was delicious and the crust was good. I won't be back, the pizza wasn't as good as it was years ago. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was spacious ,Great for family gatherings[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very casual; the restrooms were messy and needed cleaning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

ZOE'S PEPPERONI
Kiana W.

Been here twice now The pepperoni is our go to! We usually do takeout so we add a bit of hot honey when we get home and it tastes amazing! I've tried the buffalo boneless wings and i wasn't that big of a fan but my fiancé enjoyed them. The kale salad is good too but feels a bit pricey for what you get Nonetheless the pizza doesn't disappoint and we will be giving the pasta a try next time we go!

Chicken and Mushroom Cavatappi
Ivy K.

I'm also from San Francisco, and there's alot of artisanal pizza places-so I'm always purveying for artisanal pizza in the Los Angeles region to satisfy my pizza tooth. Pitfire Artisan Pizza is an answer to that. They make artisan pizzas in front of you. I ordered the Sausage Party Pizza and the Chicken and Mushroom Cavatappi. Both entrees were really good. The Sausage Party Pizza had some kind of balsamic glaze that I thought was on the sweet side, but overall the pizza was still very good. Maybe you could tell them to leave it out if you don't want your pizza too sweet. The crust is thin to medium size. The cavatappi was rich and buttery with big hunks of chicken and mushroom. They have vegan/vegetarian options for pizza, pasta, and sides, if you're not a meateater. The interiors are spacious and industrial/modern with lively music. They still have the alien graffiti art by Daniel Johnston. I've seen that alien for at least 15 years on their wall since I've been coming to Pitfire Artisan Pizza in Culver City since 2010. It's comforting to see it again after so many years. They have long tables for big groups. Service was good and prompt. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed.

Buffalo boneless wings
Sarah K.

Service here was great - friendly, prompt, and attentive but not overly so. Food came out fast and they refilled our fountain drinks without us having to ask. We ordered the buffalo wings and Zoe's pepperoni pizza. The server staged it nicely, wings first and pizza a bit after. The wings were decent, boneless but still with dark meat. The sauce flavor was good but the meat was a little stringy, and some were clumped together making the size of wings pretty uneven and cooked differently. Blue cheese was solid. The pizza didn't much flavor and under seasoned. First bite I took yanked the cheese off, I think they use mozzarella balls and the distribution was uneven, and it was a little coagulated. The bottom of pizza was dusty which is not my fave. To sum up, service was great with fun and friendly vibes - but the food was lackluster. If I came here again, would order one of the pizzas with more toppings to give it more flavor.

Great tasting Pizza perfect. Fold perfect. Cook on the bottom
Robert S.

I want to say I have been driving by this place for years. OMG the pizza at this place has a great taste. The mozzarella is so fresh. Cooked perfectly the correct brown on the bottom and fold the ratio of meat and cheese is perfect. We were the first ones here in this place when they opened up the floor. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Chairs and tables were extremely clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Abundance is perfect for a group setting or even if you want to sit by yourself.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

In the store with two gluten free pizzas
Miguel R.

Pitfire Pizza continues to be a very solid option in LA, even when going gluten free. I tried the gluten-free sausage & ricotta and the gluten-free mushroom pizza, both were excellent, but the mushroom really stole the show. Deep flavor, well balanced, and thoughtfully put together. The crust was crispy and held up well, which isn't always a given with gluten-free pizza. Clean flavors and strong execution across the board, and a great option if you're looking for a gluten-free pie that doesn't feel like a compromise.

Do you have a baby changing table?

We do.

Is the honey bear spicy (asking for a 4 year old 😂)?

Hi BB, the Honey Bear has calabrian chili and chili flakes, but both can be removed for a spice-free version!

Do you still have pizza making days on Tuesdays?! If so, can you tell me more!?

Hi Melanie, we do pizza making parties by reservation only. You can reach out to Jake@pitfirepizza.com for inquiries! We look forward to hosting you soon.

Did they recently change the mozzarella cheese? I've been coming to Pitfire for years, and today the cheese tasted different.

Hi there, yes we did recently change our mozzarella to Grande, it’s a creamery in Wisconsin that uses no preservatives or additives and very high quality dairy. Did you like it? We appreciate the feedback!

Does this place have gluten free crust?

Yes we do.

They serve huge portions and the prices are great. Wait until you get some of their homemade bread, which is free, and you will also get a bowl of wonderful olive oil and a lot a fresh garlic. It is amazing, but you also have to try their garlic bread as well. It has the best toast to it. Alejo's Presto Italian Restaurant has always been a family owned business and they treat you like family. It is so cute and comfortable and of course, spotless. They have a great eggplant parmesan and the linguine alfredo is so good. You have to have a Alejo's Pizza, which is a hand-made brick oven pizza that you can get whatever you want on it. We love it with shrimp, clams, and pepperoni. As soon as you are seated the staff is there to help you and they are great. The owner is sometimes there. Alejo's is a great place for family gatherings, couples night and friends will love it. They have great coffee. Parking is on the street or their lot in the back. Get a pizza to take home as well and take the extra bread with it. It all heats up so well.

I have tried them, Alejo's Presto Trattoria Italian Restaurant is still the best of traditional Italian, family owned and just amazing. The service is so nice and sometimes the owner is there. They have the best garlic bread. Parking is on the street or the small lot in the back. They do take reservations. It can still get crowded on weekends. They have amazing pizza and you can dine there, do pick up or have it delivered. The crust is great. We love their salads, mine being their chopped salad, but all of them are good. We love all their pasta dishes and they make a great spaghetti and meatballs. Whatever you order you will be happy and your will love the comfort of the place and the nice seats. It really is great. It is ever so cute.

Weekend brunch is a busy time at Superfine, but they seem to handle it well. I figured someone at…read moremy table would share a slice of pizza, so I opted for the Farmer's Market Little Gems salad which I highly recommend. The ingredients don't seem like anything out of the ordinary but put together it was excellent. Good iced tea as well. As for the pizzas, what was shared with me was fine, if a touch greasy. The crust had great flavor - that kind of reads like a backhanded compliment, but I don't mean it that way...it's just that it was the best part of the pizza. The brunch crowd is quite a mix here of all ages (screaming toddlers ahoy) but it didn't end up being a detrimental aspect of the meal. My family member who lived down here has just moved, so I don't know if I'll make it back (or if it's good enough to specifically seek this out) but if you find yourself in this area of Playa Vista, this is a pretty good choice.

Unfortunately, I can see why they are closing soon. There was barely anyone there for a weekend…read morelunch which should've already been assigned. The highlight was honestly the kids meal, the chicken tenders and fries were delicious! The fried chicken sandwich as well as the Smashburger were seriously lacking, literally lacking half of the ingredients named, any flavor or quality. The pizza was horrendous, I had been to their other location downtown, which I had remembered being absolutely delicious, this was nothing like it. Very overpriced for what you got, not worth returning.

Lots of parking but its not free. The food was better than expected. The calamari was very fresh and cooked to perfection. The bread was warm and soft. Went great with the olive oil and balsamic.

There's plenty of parking that costs $2 per hour which you pay at a machine. The food seemed pretty authentic. The calamari appetizer was fresh and had fried shrimp in it too which was good. The chicken Marsala was also very tasty. The free bread was warm and soft. I believe it's beer and wine only, not a full bar. The servers speak Italian which also adds to the authenticity. Our server was very nice and attentive at first. But once the food was dropped off, she didn't check back until we were finished with all of the food. Luckily we didn't need anything during the meal, but it would have been nice if she came back to check on us. Overall it was a good experience with authentic Italian food.
