I LOVE THIS PLACE and here at least a few times a month (at one of the various locations) Definitely a go to spot for food! I was here tonight (2/9/24) for their second night of soft openings. My party ordered: *SHAVED KALE SALAD (Raisins, Almonds, Red Onion, Parmesan) * SALT BAKED SWEET POTATO (Whipped Honey Butter, Chile) * ZOE'S PEPPERONI PIZZA (Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce, Basil) * FIELD MUSHROOM PIZZA (Fontina, Cremini Mushrooms, Enoki Mushrooms, Thyme) * RIGATONI AL FORNO PASTA (Fontina, Fresh Mozzarella, Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Sauce) * HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE * SUPERBA BAKING GLUTEN FREE TAHINI BROWNIE *NO WAY FROSÉ *HEFEWEIZEN The ambiance is fun as the restaurant is set in what seems to be an old theater. Service was great as we were constantly checked on. A few special features of this Echo Park location are: *Exclusive Vegan menu *Private dining area *Back "indoor-like" Patio with fireplace Only true downside of this location is the parking. Super hard to find and when you do, it's far into the residential area. Will continue to visit Pitfire but not necessarily this location especially since it is so much farther than a couple of the other locations. read more

Holy happy hour! I went to Mohawk Bend just before it closed and wanted to see what this place was all about. I like how they changed the aesthetic around but still left the classic look of the building. The bar is huge and they have a soda room. I was excited for the soda room. Their happy hour was great! Drinks were decently priced and the pizzas were pretty much half off but the pizzas were the same size as the ones you'd order during the regular hours. Everything was an absolutely delicious and the people working very very nice and attentive. Even though you order at the bar and find a place to sit, the staff was still coming to check on the table. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great pizza and bar but don't recommend if you're looking for sports. They have some TVs with games on but not very many and they weren't showing the Thursday night football game. read more

I can't rave about this place enough! We had our rehearsal dinner there and from the beginning, Brian and his team were so helpful and always available for our questions. We chose this because we love the food and the interior was perfect. They have a back room that we reserved for our party. It's beautiful! Our family was able to decorate and the food catered to everyone. It was spacious and they even have a photo booth! I love that we can always go back and eat there now that we are married. Brian even surprised us with our names on the sign and throughout the weekend, our friends kept driving by and sending us pictures of it. Whether you're eating there or wanting a place to host, Pitfire is the best. Uhmmm and they have pink boxes!! read more

I used to go to Pitfire on Fairfax and Westwood years and years ago They had a good menu and I liked that the restaurant was casual and inexpensive. So I was excited to try this new location. The space is big...it is a very nice brewery-like space. I ordered pasta and pizza but both tasted bland. My friends ordered 4 other items and they said the same thing. Pitfire used to have flavorful dishes. I'm not even vegan but I remembered that they had good vegan cheese pizza so I ordered it. Well, I couldn't eat more than 2 slices. My vegetarian friend didn't want to eat it, either. The cashew cheese tasted awful and the tomato sauce was too sour. The soft serve w/ a cookie & caramel sauce used to be incredible but not any more. I guess I should just let my old memories go. This turned out to be a sad visit :-( read more

Pitfire offers consistently good pizza without completely price-gouging you like most LA joints of comparable quality. The only real issue I have is that they use way too much flour during shaping and don't knock off any of the excess after baking. Most of the time, your first sensation after a bite is a dry mouthful of burnt or raw flour coating the bottom of the pie. If they could fix that, they'd really shine above the rest. read more

Sadly no "leave us a good review" pin for me. Sorry but this place had done little to give me any reason to return. My son and I came to the shell of the former Mohawk Bend finding just about the entire place the same, albeit some paint and new tables (terribly unbalanced) and chairs (uncomfortable). There's no host service since the place was empty. Just walked into an empty restaurant where signs directed us to get a menu and grab a table, and order at the bar. After ordering, you pay before the food arrives (and expect them to request 15/20/+ tip for this privilege). We got our drink cups and filled up at the "soda room" with the same soda machine you'd see at any subway or similar chain store. The menu looked interesting, offering all sorts of pasta dishes and pizza offering, both vegan and vegetarian options aplenty. My son ordered the cheese and I the vegan mushroom (requesting light cheese since I'm in training). What did we get? I've had this complaint for every other Pitfire pizza, they like to make their pizza into flat and oily slabs with a tractor tire for a crust. This is so strange, it's like a round breadstick that picked up a greasy napkin. My son ate some of his pizza and sort of made a face at the heavy crust and the meager bland cheese. My pizza was a mess. The "field mushroom" was tough and tasteless mushrooms that tasted like their were either purchased dried and they reconstituted them or they were canned. Either way they weren't fresh. Since they didn't have much cheese on it, it was dripping with oil. It was gross. Bland sauce, crust so thin in the middle it looked like they stepped on it, and a tire for a crust. If you're hungry for pizza in the Elysian Heights/Silverlake/Echo Park area, there's a reason there's a wait at Masa and Triple Beam. I left behind most of both pies because I can only imagine how much worse it tasted reheated. Here's a tip if you read your reviews Pitfire 1. Use fresh ingredients 2. Use fresh sauce 3. Roll your dough out by hand and give it some thickness, or learn how to make a proper Brooklyn thin crust. 4. Turn up the heat! The place was freezing 5. Make use of the amazing wood fire stoves and learn how to cook a proper Italian pizza instead of making pizza that Chuck E Cheese could do better 6. Use servers if you expect gratuity 7. Lower your prices if you any afford to heat the place read more

Pitfire pizza is a 10/10! I can never come here and not get their wings. Yes, they're that good! Probably the best in LA IMO. We opt for the Buffalo ones that have Calabrian chili on them. So delicious! The pizza is always yummy too! Careful though because it's piping hot lol. This time we got the sausage & peppers to try something different from the usual - Zoe's pizza (my fave). It was good, but l'm a Zoe's is still my fave! The vibes are on point. The space is cute for dates, hangouts or just to sit and enjoy the game. Customer service is excellent too! read more

Super helpful service. There was a slight issue with the cutting of my pizza and they brought it to me to eat while awaiting a free replacement. Chicken pesto pizza was good. We really liked the light crust. Chopped salad was really nice and this dressing which I've never heard of before, I loved. They call it Oregeno Dressing. It's not strongly flavored of oregano and had a pleasant tartness and sweetness to it. I took some home. The buffalo wings. When they said boneless I was expecting nuggets, ya know? Nope it's actual chicken drummies with the bones removed. Noice. Going back! They have special prices during Dodgers games. I've never been here before so when I saw the signs about this, I googled Dodgers on my phone. They were playing today so Dodger discounts were on, and it happened to be 7th inning, so I got the the wings for only 10 bucks cos that deal only happens during the 7th inning. #Winning #TigersBlood read more

Arrived with friends after a running club at around 10pm, there was no wait, pretty empty, which was nice, since we had a large party of 7 people and got seated right away in the middle bar area, plenty of space and easy to chat. We ordered 3 pizzas, the steak salad, and the shredded kale salad, and it was the perfect amount for us. The sausage party was delicious, highly recommended. Plenty of options for pizzas. Service was quick, but I don't know what the peak dining hours are like. Price was pretty reasonable as well, and good for large parties at least later in the evening. Parking could be difficult given the location of the restaurant. Late at night, street parking was easy to find. But can imagine during peak hours you may have to park a distance away or on the side streets. Overall, great experience, would visit again! read more

This place is garbage. Two separate times I tried to order the strawberry shortcake sundae, and both times I did not receive it.

I'm giving 4 of 5 stars because the value would not be good once they take away their "Dodger Special" (pizza + beer for $20). If they keep this going, I'd give 5 stars. Good pizza, thin crust if you like that. I like the burnt edges from fire-roasting. Loved the sausage/pepper pizza. Honey Bear pizza was a little sweet for my taste. Pretty good size. Loved the vegetarian chopped salad - good value, tasty, nice size. Pretty much they just stick to pizzas, beers and a few sides (smart to focus on strengths) Service - you need to order at the bar. They bring to the table. They stop by and ask if you need anything. It's the way it goes these days. No complaints. Best thing - the Dodger Special: Pizza and a beer for $20. CAN'T BEAT IT! Pretty much you save $6 on the $20 order! If this special weren't offered, I'd say this place is overpriced. But as long as this special lasts, it's a recommended place in my book - and a smart business decision (leverages that 2nd beer), draws traffic and doesn't really cost them much margin. Ambiance - great! The exact same as Mohawk Bend used to be. read more

I was actually going somewhere else and spotted this location. Decided to check the menu first and I liked what I saw so I decided to eat here. You can seat yourself anywhere you want and I chose to sit in the patio. What I was not told was that I had to go inside and order... after sitting and waiting (9 minutes) for a server to take my order. Thanks to the customer who told me. Lol. I ordered the vegan pizza, which they have plenty of options. It took awhile but the pizza itself was delicious. The dough was perfect. Loved the cheese and the sauce was perfect. Not too bland or sweet. I ate 80% of it myself and the leftover next day. I'd definitely will come back again. The staff were nice but they should have informed me on where to order or have a sign that says so. Be mindful, access to this place is street parking and you may find a 2 hour parking across the street (behind Starbucks). read more

Service and food was good. Kids pizza to quote my kid "has too much cheese" FYI. Place is self seating, glad the Romona room is basically the same as Mohawk Bend (RIP) read more

The food was good but I expected the pizza to have chili oil not spicy meat. The place has changed from Mohawk bend and I miss the servers actually going to you to ask what you would like instead of having to get up and ask. They have a variety of alcohol which I do appreciate and the pizza is good enough to feed 2 people. The place is fairly empty on weekdays it's still new and might take a while to kick off but overall would come back if I'm craving pizza and beer. read more

Love this place would definitely be back, the pizza is made in pit fire mode. Can't wait to be back !

It was my first time coming to the new location in echo park and I thoroughly enjoyed it! We ordered the beets with greek yogurt, Margherita pizza, chicken pizza and the meatballs. Everything was delicious! The service was fantastic as well, we sat outside in the patio because we brought our doggie and they offered her a water bowl. Great ambiance whether you choose to sit inside (sans pets) or outside. read more

The restaurant itself is nice. The atmosphere and design are great. The food was okay, nothing particularly standout but decent overall. Unfortunately, the service felt a bit off. I had a small issue (a dead fly on my plate, not a big deal), and before I could even say anything, the server with the long hair just removed it and walked off, which came across as dismissive. I understand everyone can have an off day, but it did make the experience less enjoyable. Still, I think this place has potential if the service matches the setting. read more

I hate to make it about race, but coincidentally all the staff was incredibly welcoming and nice to all the white people at the restaurant, can't say the same for my friend and I (both latinas). I went up to order and the guy at the counter literally said "what do you want" like if the register isn't meant for him to take my order? Both people at the register were rude and acted like I was bothering them when their job is literally to take my order? Safe to say they cater to the white neighborhood of Echo Park. read more

Food here is always worth it Happy hour is affordable and overall a great deal. The hot wings thee BEST. Try them they won't disappoint., not your traditional boneless wings... they're BETTER read more

Wow! Look no further, if you want casual ambience but absolutely amazing pizza and second to NONE drinks, head here immediately. "Sway" at the bar is creating works of art at an amazing price. He is an artist, best Old Fashioned and best Revolver I have ever tasted in my life (I am not a young man)! The service, 5 stars, so pleasant, so friendly, 100% on point. Now the pizza, I used to think Hey Neighbor (Eugene) or Solstice (Hood River) in Oregon nailed it, they did! But... I will call it a three way tie!!! Their Honey Bear is the perfect mix of spice and savory to make your taste buds wonder WTH! Do not wait, head to Pitfire Pizza in Carlsbad immediatey read more

Pretty average pizza! Nothing spectacular but I'm excited to have a GF pizza option in echo park. I got the pepperoni on GS crust and my boyfriend got the sausage and mushroom. Servers were all very nice and attentive but one pizza came out like 15 mins before the other which was kind of a bummer but not a huge deal. Ranch is extra ($2) which is pretty steep for a little side of it. Regardless, a good late night spot with plenty of seating! Cute "backyard" feel. Parking on side residential streets is pretty easy or at the chipotle across the street. read more

First and last time I will eat Pitfire. The cookie actually tasted like it had dish soap / cleaning products in it, not from the flavor but from contamination. Sooooo gross!!!! The pizza hardly had any cheese and the toppings were wet and undercooked. Paid $4.50 for a gingerale but it was just a few sips and a ton of ice. Such a waste of money, really disappointing. BEWARE OF SOAP IN YOUR FOOD read more

I came on a Tuesday, only two people in the restaurant, place looked dead. Apparently you have to order food with the bartender with attitude up front. No servers, Food was a 5/10. Food looked lifeless, bartender forgot to get me a water. Fly's on the outside dining area. Can't tell when's the last time they actually cleaned. Place is trash, save your money, go to the habit or chipotle across the street. Never coming back. read more

My family and I just ate dinner at Pitfire for the first time tonight, at the recommendation of our friends who live close by, and we cannot wait to return!! The pizzas were SO delicious. Love the thin crust dough, but not so thin that it was soggy, just right!!! And the customer service was excellent!! We are in the service industry and so appreciate it when staff are empowered!! Great leadership!! Loved the vibe inside as well!! Please bring a Pitfire to the Desert!!!! read more

We had reservations for a birthday party for 9 people. We arrived and had to actively ask someone in the kitchen where we would be seated. There was no host. In fact, there is no service at the tables at all. This poses huge problems when you order multiple drinks and food when THEY DON'T HAVE SOMEONE BUSSING THE TABLES. Secondly, the restaurant was very hot inside. Like 80 degrees or more. We asked what the thermostat was set at and they said 75 degrees! Uhhh... WTF? Third, they were understaffed and when you wanted to order a drink or food you were waiting in line for 10 minutes or more each time to do so. I am sorry, but I want my friends at my table having a good time and not inconvenienced by waiting to order because you are too cheap to hire more competent staff. Other issues included flickering lights, a poor sound system, frozen cocktails that weren't fully frozen, and a photo booth that makes the worst photographs ever. The owner/manager doesn't pay enough attention to this business, is skimping on staff and not properly maintaining this building. Word of advice, order your pizza to go. Not sure this place will be around much longer with this kind of operations. read more

I would KILL for this pizza, not every pizza is that good but this one was. And the staff was so cool!!

Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. While the place looks nice, the staff's behavior was extremely rude. The host seemed upset when we arrived, which set a negative tone from the start. After being seated, we waited at our table for about 25 minutes, but no one came to take our order. Overall, I was very unhappy with both the service and the restaurant. We had to leave. There is a better pizza place right at the corner Cosa Buona. read more

The food was mediocre and the service wasn't great. I get that people can off days but it definitely made the experience unwelcoming.

Cardboard pizza dough, minimal sauce and very little chicken in the order. Very disappointing. We do not want to go back and have to wait over 40 minutes for a simple one pizza order. read more

I made a reservation online for a group of ten, later easily changed to 11 when another friend joined. We had a great area in the back assigned to our group with a few smaller tables that could be pushed together easily to make a longer table. The fires were so cozy and nice. It was so easy for our group to order separately as you have to pay when you order then they bring your food out. So mich easier than having to make a server split the bill! The pizza, pasta, salad and wings were all delicious. The soda was flat, the only really ding in the review. They also were easy to call and speak to a human and ask questions. Overall would recommend for a party or group dinner! read more

Really love the ambience and layout of this location. The architectural design is really cool and a lot of fun, especially for a pizza spot and I could totally see a movie or interesting commercial/tv show being filmed here. Unfortunately the pizza was just okay compared to others I've had but I would still come back to hang out and drink with friends here. Parking is also unfortunately almost non existent in the area so be mindful of that before coming as well as you're better off taking a ride share to this location. read more
