The atmosphere is great, outdoor seating with shade and heaters is nice. Love that they have both dairy and non-dairy / vegan options. We tried the vegan cheese, vegan sausage and kale, and the chopped salad. The vegan cheese was recently changed from follow your heart to be hive. While the be hive pepperoni and sausage are delicious, sadly the cheese lacks any flavor. The sauce is tasty. The chopped salad comes with romaine, radicchio, kale, red bell pepper, cannellini beans, pepperoncini, celery, persian cucumber, and house-made italian vinaigrette & parmesan cheese on the side. Sadly part of what intrigued me was the cannellini beans in the sadly, but it had none and no one said we are out of beans when I ordered. I also wish there was a half size option. I'm glad this place exists but we'll be sticking to more tasty vegan pizza options in the area unless they change the cheese they are using. read more

Recently tried prime pizza and it was delicious! I have a few spots that hold my heart but this was a great spot to try that was in the area! The spicy pepperoni was really great and it had a nice crispy crust. I love the location as it has great parking and it's more closer to a neighborhood. The location previously was patticakes, which was the local bakery everyone would go too. It was sad to see them go but happy to see new tenants bringing in good food. read more

Overall solid pizza for the SGV area. They don't skimp on the sauce or toppings! I haven't tried the other locations but from what I heard from friends, this Altadena location seems more generous with the amount of toppings they gave. I'm sure the pizza tastes even better fresh but I had it a party where it had been in the box for some time. I still really liked the sausage kale pizza as that was still tasting really good after being in the car for a while. The kale is a good mix to the pizza! The square pizzas were ok but I think because we didn't have it fresh, it was slightly soggy so note that if you're taking to-go. read more

Prime Pizza - Giant cookie. - Pizza Near Me - Altadena, California

I wish I could take this place back to Sacramento with me! Pizza was phenomenal I love a slice! Crust was perfect. In fact everyone in my group saw the size was real NYC sized pizza and thought one was enough. I mean yes, it was but absolutely no it wasn't! we all wanted to savor one more!! Casual atmosphere felt so so community oriented . Loved that there were even two pop up coffee and Mexican food on the property! What a gem read more

My favorite is the Sicilian, Grandma and White. I do like the square pizzas here more than the slice pizzas due to the extra crunchy edge! You have to eat it as soon as it comes out, it not as good once it cools down. I guess you can always reheat in in your air fryer at home, but I haven't had the need since I would just eat everything there. Lotsa outside seating so it's pet friendly! This is actually our closest location in SGV. On our recent visit we even try the meatball sandwich and the chicken parmesan sandwich. Whoa, that was definitely a game changer. I need to watch my waistline because now I want BOTH the pizzas and the sandwiches. Get on the mailing list because they do send out coupons from time to time. read more

I used to live on the east coast, when I tell you that this place is it. Believe me! The Sicilian corner slice is outta this world. It's light, crispy and packed with flavor. The regular cheese slice what's going to give you the Brooklyn experience you need. If you're wanting to take it up a notch, do yourself a favor and get the vodka slice. Service is great. Outside seating is perfect. It's authentic New York pizza with a California breeze. read more

Came here cuz I saw Dave portnoy review it and say it was the best pizza he's had in LA (based on his preference). It was good, but I don't know if it's the best in LA. Pizza had good flavor and a crispy thin crust. I personally like a cheesy pizza with regular pepperoni. Service was great. Order online and it was super easy. This location in Altadena is great. Lots of outdoor seating and is a very inviting place to grab a slice or a whole pie. I'll likely come back and try this place again. read more

Prime Pizza - Half pepperoni and half white pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Altadena, California

Pros: 1. My new favorite is their sandwich. I love the chicken parm and the meatball sandwich. The bread is so amazing and toasty and not hard, not stale, not dense, and not dry. Amazingly it also holds for a day or two (because I always order too much) and it's still good later. Either the other locations don't have it or I never noticed, but I'll go all the way here just for this one item. 2. I love their pizza (esp. the thicker squares) because it is light and toasty and doesn't feel heavy or greasy. But, it is still satisfying. 3. So far all the people seem nice. Cons: 1. Not enough parking, especially for such a popular place at night, but even in the middle of the day when it doesn't feel crowded, there aren't enough places to park. 2. While the pizza is fantastic fresh out of the oven, I find that the pizza is not as good once it cools. 3. Though the original is good, the toppings/flavors on the square slices are too limited - would love a non-spicy pepperoni or some other combinations so that I can order more and have every square be a different flavor. read more

Prime Pizza has arrived in Altadena and we couldn't be more excited. We usually order from here at least once a week. The cheese and pepperoni pizzas are my personal favorite! And if you happen to go on the weekends, you'll catch Bevel Coffee outside as well! The pizzas are made fresh and are pipping hot. Lots of outdoor seating and minimal indoor seating. Parking is limited but there's lots of street parking as well. Overall, location is very helpful for folks that live near the area. This location does surprisingly well considering it is situated further up north from the freeway. I would definitely recommend stopping by when you're in the area! read more

Prime Pizza - Cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Altadena, California

I love New York style pizza. I've been wanting to try Prime Pizza since they opened in Altadena. So when I saw that they had a $36 family meal and I had to go check it out right away. The family meal included an 18 inch cheese pizza, caesar salad and garlic knots. This was a really good deal in my opinion. It fed our family of four and we were all pretty satisfied. I thought the pizza was really good. It totally satisfied my craving for a NY style pizza. The caesar salad was really good as well. It felt like it was put together when we ordered it, instead of being pre-packed hours ago sitting in the fridge. The lettuce was really fresh and crisp. The dressing had a nice kick to it as well. I ordered online and it took only about 18 minutes for it to be ready for pickup. I'm a fan and will definitely be back. read more

My friends and I (4 people in total) ordered meat lovers square pizza, supreme, garlic knots. and chicken wings for delivery. The food was solid. I'm usually not super huge into lots of meat, but my favorite pizza was meat lovers. I loved the fluffy crust! It is a thicker pizza, so if you prefer New York style, you may enjoy the supreme more. I do wish there were more veggies on the supreme. The garlic knots were also delicious, and the wings were tasty too. I would definitely order from here again. read more

Great location to sit outside and have a nice slice or two. Especially when you're surrounded by the beauty of the San Gabriel Mountains in Altadena. Pizza is on point, a nice thin crust New York style with great flavor. This is my go to spot for Pizza in LA! Don't sleep on the spicy pepperoni. read more

I've gone here like 7 times in 2 months, and 6 times out of that 7 they just can't seem to get it right. We keep asking for the pizza to be well done/crispy and they do the exact opposite, I'm talking soggy. Last time they were very nice and remade the pizza, which now we have to sit and wait around longer, then they completely burned that one but ok we will let it slide. They were very generous and gave me a credit on top of it for the next one. Now we go again for the next one and I said WELLLL DONE. They brought out a very cold, completely opposite to well done pizza, like it wasn't even cooked regular. What are you guys doing honestly? It's not that hard to cook a pizza well done, that doesn't mean burn it black and it doesn't mean soggy, a little crisp, we know it's not gonna be perfect but why on earth are you doing it less cooked when we ask well done, you're going in reverse. TELL THE COOK TO LISTEN TO THE CUSTOMERS REQUEST. Well done means well done, people like pizza crispy not soggy and almost raw. I doubt I'll return but your pizza has good flavor so maybe I will who knows, it's annoying at this point. read more

As a transplanted New Yorker, finding pizza by the slice in LA is near impossible. But I found it here. They have several kinds of slices of pizza. My two favorites are the white pizza (garlic, Parmesan, mozzarella- no red sauce) and Sicilian. This is square with cheesy crust, tomato sauce and laced with pesto. So good. You can also order whole pies. The restaurant dining is outdoors under roof shades. The vibe is cool, family friendly. You eat at long picnic tables. The service is quick; servers bring your food after you go in and order. Polite and extremely helpful. Salads are great too! Stop by and order a slice and a salad. Also try their meatballs. I can't stop coming here! And it helps bring business back to Altadena. My new favorite hangout in the 626. read more

The prices are a bit high for what you get. I ordered the grandma square for $30. I thought my kids would like a plain cheese pizza. The tomato sauce was very sour. It doesnt taste cooked at all. I think it gets dolloped on just before coming out. The sour tomato sauce was disliked by my kids. The acidity does cut through the grease and makes it not feel as heavy though. Just not so kid friendly. Maybe the round slices would be a better choice. Overall a pricey pizza that was just ok. I have another Pasadena pizza place i got to for Detroit pizza. Since I'm used to that place and hold it as the standard, this place is just ok. I would pass read more

the spinach pizza was soso good!!!!! crust was thin and the sauce was really yummy! :)

I'm from the East-coast, so self proclaimed pizza expert here lol!....Extremely cute corner spot, happy staff and crisp & delicious pizza! Adorable covered patio to eat and chill. I found this spot on my last days out in this area of CA. I def would not miss this pizza spot! I would have been a regular for sure! They sell slices of NY style & Sicilian style. Delicious! read more

5 families got their pizzas before us. We got pizza by the slice and so did these families. When we asked about it 3 times given that these families payed after us came after us and also got pizza by the slice. When the pizza came they apologized and said "we burned the first slices" but we were clearly annoyed and hangry. Also hard to believe they burned them and 5 parties got theirs first. All parties had come in gradually, and they had clearly forgotten our order. They offered to comp our full meal and they did. The pizza was great the spicy pepperoni was by far our fave. Had they not offered to comp our meal we would have definitely left with sour taste. read more

First, I've been here quite a few times, but I'm ready to give away my rewards points. I think I'm done for good. I really love the food. The pizza is great and their ranch/blue cheese dressing are really great. But I hate, hate, haaaaate their order pickup process. Tonight I ordered online at 5:48 with a pickup time of 6:08. I got their at 6:02 and put my name in at the door. The guy out front handling these pickup orders seems to serve no other purpose other than avoiding eye contact from angry stares during a busy time and shouting your name to a busy counter that doesn't even seem to be listening for names. After 20 minutes of delay I checked in only to have him ask my name again and shout it back to no one. At 30 minutes of delay I asked him for an update to just have him ask my name again and shout at no one..at 40 minutes I asked if he had my ticket, wanna guess what he did? Asked my name and shouted it back to no one. 50 minutes in I asked if they were tracking it and if I could get an update since I didn't see a receipt at his podium that had my name on it. He asked my name and shouted it backwards. At 6:58 I decided I can't wait an hour for pizza without some idea of whether they're even tracking my order. This time I passed the feckless doorman and went inside to try and get an update from someone else and maybe even a refund if no one could give me some idea of whether my order is even being tracked. As I approached the counter, my order came out, of course, nearly an hour after the online order said I should pick it up. Look, I get it was a very busy Friday night. If the system online had reflected at all how busy it was, I would have gone somewhere else or maybe just left later. But I drove down to stand around and get annoyed. Annoyed not because it was busy and everyone behind the counter was working hard cranking out orders. I was annoyed because of the useless handling of my request for an update. If you can't project the time it's going to take, say that. If someone asks if you actually have my order, please look into it. Instead I got nothing. To add insult to injury I mentioned I was trying to get a refund and the woman that handed me my pizza said "a refund?!?" in a tone mocking me. They're busy, I get it, but I don't have to deal with it anymore. I'm so done with prime pizza. It's good, but you can throw a rock in any direction and hit another pizza place. I'll miss the ranch, they won't miss me, but I'm not trying to be annoyed on a Friday night. That's offensive to the gods of pizza. read more

Rejoice! Prime has arrived in Altadena. Thank goodness because I was tired of going to little Tokyo. From what I understand, opening weekend was lit. Very,very busy! Popped by today for lunch and it was busy but not insane (no line). Parking here is going to be a problem if they keep up the crowds. There are not tons of spots, maybe 10 or so. Pizza was great as always & the staff was really nice. Everyone seemed to be working really hard. I got the spicy pepperoni & grandma slices. I didn't realize they had pasta but they have a vodka pasta and a Bolognese that I will definitely be trying. I am thrilled this is now closer to my stomping grounds and I will definitely be stopping by often! read more

*Update:Their food made us sick! We both woke up vomiting and have diarrhea a few hours after eating it! Avoid this place! Now I know why my dog wouldn't eat it!* For a place to have taken up our beloved Patticakes location spot, I am REALLY disappointed at the prices and quality of food here. I was charged $10 for a Cesar salad that was soo small and had NO FLAVOR. Ugh. You'd get a tastier and bigger cesar salad for 1/4 the price at Trader Joe's! I really regret giving them my money. Esp now after reading reviews on how rude they are to customers, and the owners rude response back to them on Yelp, luckily I didn't engage with them since my bf picked up our phone order. I should've read reviews before ordering. We really regret giving them money. The meatball sub meat tastes like cafeteria meat! DISGUSTING I couldn't eat i really wish I could get my money back. $15 for three gross meatballs on bread ONLY THREE MEATBALLS...I really regret giving them my money I bought two of these ugh. I only liked the sesame sub bread. I got one Cesar salad and two meatball subs. We are truly disappointed. Also they could have fit at least one more meatball in the sandwich. THIS PLACE IS A RIP OFF!! They need to lower their prices significantly to reflect their low quality food but I still wouldn't come back because it taste soo bad. I gave part of the meatball to my cat and my dog and they both refused to eat it so yeah thats how you know this meat is bad! My dog and cat are foodies and would eat In N Out, but not this! They wouldn't even taste this nasty beef! Just wow. We all hated it. We were curious to try it because they call themselves NY Style but it is far from it. If you want actual delicious NY Style save your money and order from Brooklyn Square. I will never come back to Prime Pizza and I hope they close down soon. R.I.P Patticakes Btw: Prime Pizza painted over the Patticakes mural that Patticakes fought years to protect. Now it just a white wall with their dumb logo on it. read more

Just grabbed a few slices,;cheese, white and the kids got pepperoni. Nice chewy crust and the sauce leans more to tangy than sweet. The dough is what really stands out for me. The staff was very friendly, I can't wait to go back and try the square slices. A very welcome addition to the neighborhood. read more

Love that a well-known pizza joint opened up in Altadena. Altadena is becoming a new hot spot for restaurant openings and Prime Pizza is one of them. I'm a fan of thin crust pizzas and had to give their pepp pizza a try. The dough had the perfect crisp to chew ratio and I loved the cups of pepperoni on top. I do wish their sauce had more flavor and the cheese was more melty, because the cheese firmed up quickly. I'd rate the pizza an 8.2. The popular vodka slice was cold by the time I ate it, because the whole pie took about 30 minutes to prepare. I thought this slice was alright, but I'd come back for a simple pepp or cheese slice. The staff here is fantastic and friendly. I'd come back to get in my pizza fix. read more

Don't order the gluten free pizza. A standard 18' regular pizza is $30. A got a whole gluten free pizza for $25, thinking it was comparable. No one said anything about the size. It's legitimately a 9 inch square. Total rip off if you're someone looking for alternative crust. I let them know and they do not care. read more

Ordered online at 6:30 pm and was told that my order would be ready at 7:00 pm. I drove in the rain and arrived at that time and was told that my order wasn't ready yet. That's fine I don't mind waiting a little. Almost 30 minutes pass by and someone finally from the back noticed that I've been standing around for a while. They looked inside the heated holding cabinet and took out a box with a bit of a concerned look and that's when I knew my pizza was ready the whole time I was waiting but the staff in the front never bothered to really check for my order. I love the pizza here but that was a waste of time. read more

After my first experience, I was contacted by the manager and offered a chance for them to make up for the situation. I was offered a gift card for the amount of my first purchase. I thanked them and approved of the gesture. Then I was asked over the course of a few emails to get them my order (which was in the review) and receipts to prove the order. To witch they gave me a $30 (slightly less than the purchase) digital gift card. I went back and used that to grab a pizza for the family. I got the half/half square pizza. Half Grandma and Half Meat Lovers. Asked for extra sauce. This time around, I ordered online. I arrived about 5 min before they said and shortly after I received a text that my order was ready. Lucky for me it wasn't that busy. I picked up my pizza and decided that I wanted to try it fresh out of the oven. So I sat at a table and had a corner cut. Good god in heaven it was tasty, crunchy and so flavorful. I rushed home and the family enjoyed the rest. So... I am thankful that Prime Pizza went to the effort to redeem themselves and have done so in strong fashion. My Pro Tip for everyone out there would be this: Order Online for pick up. Then: sit at the tables and enjoy your slices piping hot and melting... the way the good lord intended us to. But also be ready to take it home because the parking lot and tables can be a madhouse. Thank you for the effort. You've made a fan out of me! read more

Superb food all around and a perfect neighborhood-locus vibe. Friendly staff and very community-oriented business. I lean towards the Sicilian-style thick-crust rectangular pizza, but it's all great. The round pizzas are MUCH better fresh out of the oven than they are after traveling home in a box, so I highly recommend eating there. The Sicilians travel better. read more

Love this place. Great pizza by the slice options for lunch. Crust is perfect the Sicilian is awesome.

Sad to see this location fall off the way it has over the last 6 months. I think the owner may have taken his eye off of it or something. Stale pizza and often sloppily prepared. Truly unfortunate as it was AMAZING for the first few months after opening. Owner please spend more time on the Altadena location. read more

I'll start by saying I did not like the tomato sauce. It has an acidic taste to it, I just couldn't get past it. The dough itself is really good, the Sicilian is so soft and spongy it almost felt like a puff pastry it's oil stayed on the sauce never dripped off. I had the spicy pepperoni and a regular slice of BBQ Chicken that comes with jalapeños. The bbq didn't taste like bbq at all tho. I enjoyed the toppings as well on both. You can tell everything is fresh and good quality. Like I said I couldn't get past the sauce. read more

Been coming here since you opened. Very disappointing lately. Horrible attitude from the staff. Maybe they are feeling overworked. There needs to be a better system for orders to be picked up in orders to be placed. Also, there is literally no space to stand. We used to love to sit outside but lately it's just been overrun with dirty tables. Food is always good, but there's flies so that doesn't make it a pleasant place to sit. read more

Came here and ordered two pizzas, costing $80. Was told that I could not modify my pizza. I've been modifying my pizza at this location for a few years now and all of a sudden they've become a pizza joint where you can't make any modifications. This is ridiculous. What kind of a pizza place doesn't allow you to add toppings make light toppings or add more toppings. It's the most absurd explanation for any pizza joint. Wouldn't recommend coming here. tried to explain my concerns to the manager, and he was rude and disrespectful. read more
