Pizzas from around the world but we tried two and the crust was exactly the same. Unsure as I'm not from these countries if they're just similar I guess but it feels like a gimmick. Taste was alright. It's definitely worth trying at least once but it's not something I found extremely delicious or unique to ever crave. Website recommends you enjoy the pizza at the restaurant which I agree with as it's common sense that pizza won't be the same once it's picked up to eat at home or delivered. Interior is small. I think maybe only 3 tables so... on a busy day might not be able to enjoy it in the restaurant. Quality of the pizza seemed... ok. I definitely don't know enough about the industry to know if I'm being ripped off as the pizza was tiny and it was $21 but meh. I've paid more for worse. Staff were friendly. Parking scarce. Mid. Wouldn't go back unless I'm in the area and honestly I'd rather just have a normal pizza and not this half-assed "Around The World" pizza when there isn't even a South American option. I think Uruguayan, or Argentinian pizza would be an amazing addition but their crust is different. Crust from here was like Italian pizza but Middle Eastern toppings. Makes no sense. read more

The bulgogi gangnam pizza is delicious. The sauce that they drizzle on top of the pizza is sweet, clings to the meats, and just rounds up the bite, so yummy. The habibi lamb is also delicious. The meats don't fall when we pick up the pizza and the sauce they drizzle on top is creamy and tangy but didn't overpower. The husband prefers this one, probably due to the creamy factor. The crust isn't doughy but not thin, kinda in the middle. It's good. The best part about this pizza joint is probably the specialty pizza's. You can get flavors from around the world and they're all tasty. We placed the order online and it was pretty easy. Came in like 20 minutes later to pickup, and it's all ready in the case. There was my name and I could just grab and go. Paper plates, parmesan, peppers all to grab on the table out front. There are tables and chairs too and we see some families dining in. The only annoying thing is there were so many instructions in the website; when to pickup, how to order, when to come by and pickup, be patient with the pizza, etc. It's good to have the information but like I'm just trying to order a pizza read more

Food 5/5. Never tasted this kind of pizza before! It tastes like halal but in pizza form. You really need to try, thin crust, full of flavor, enough sauce but not oily. Perfectly seasoned and not to mention, came out within 10 mins. Customer service 10/10, we went there for the first time, and they gave us free drinks. Ambiance is quick to go but they had a cute little balcony area. Will come back again :) read more

Ordered the Tiki Marsala pizza over the phone. It only took 7 minutes to have be ready and pick up. Overall, the pizza was delicious and wasn't too spicy. It comes in one standard size and it's enough to feed two people. The payment and pickup was seamless. The pizza box was waiting inside a hot cooler when I got there. The employee also asked if it was my first time there and I said yes. If you are you get a complimentary soda! Overall I'd recommend this place and the tiki Marsala pizza. read more

Pizza is delicious. I had the chicken tikka masala pizza and pepperoni bumblebee sting. The chicken tikka masala pizza is soo good. The pepperoni bumblebee is sweet and savory. Their pizza is a thin so if you're looking for something with a thicker crust it's not for you but flavors are amazing. Seating inside and outdoors, and very friendly customer service. read more

Amazing pizza and service! I can't believe how long it took me to try this place because it's now a new favorite. We ordered the tikka masala and fungi lama pizza. If it's your first time, you MUST order the tikka masala. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to have it again. They offered free soft drinks and bottled water which I thought was nice of the owners. They even provided free hot meals to those on the frontlines! (You have the opportunity to donate to keep the free meals going). The workers were so kind and came out to ensure we had a good first experience. Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by Sapori Di 786 Degrees for the first time, and it did not disappoint. Right off the bat, the staff made the experience awesome--super friendly and welcoming. They even threw in a free drink for first-timers, which was really generous The menu has so many unique pizzas, so it took a minute to decide. We ended up going with the Americana and the Habibi. Both came out pretty fast. The Americana ended up being my favorite. The crust was thin and crispy--exactly how I like it--and the seasoning was spot on without being too much. Every bite had that perfect balance of flavors. The Habibi was solid too, with its own interesting mix of flavors, but the Americana just hit different for me. I'm already thinking about what to try next time since there are so many options I still need to explore. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

We've been wanting to try this place out for over a year , I was thoroughly blown away. We were welcomed like we were family even though it was our first time. The love was genuine and made us feel at home. The two cooks were so kind and walked us through the options. We got the Tikka masala pizza, and Fungi Lama. Neither of them disappointed. The flavors were phenomenal and everything tasted super fresh. We were thoroughly satisfied. They've won awards for these pizzas... and now I know why.

Rating: 9.5/10 (boyfriend's rating: 10/10) Delicious fresh and authentic pizzas and homey atmosphere with the fantastic customer service! Came here with the boyfriend around 6:30PM on a Saturday with no wait to order and grab a table. The kind person behind the counter took our order and explained that each pizza is around 11-12in and is essentially a personal-sized pizza. Each pizza was around $20, with the two pizzas we got being both $19 as of 7/1/23. After ordering, we got seated indoors and waited for the pizzas. In the meanwhile, the worker who took our order let us know we could grab a free drink at the front fridge since it was our first time there. We waited about 15-20 minutes for our two pizzas that came out fresh in their little boxes. They were so beautiful and delicious looking with thin crusts and bright colors. 1) Bombay Tikka Masala: 9.5/10. When I had first bite, I honestly was not immediately hit with any distinct flavor. After a few seconds of chewing, I tasted some sweetness and unique flavors from a few different spices. It didn't taste like any Chicken Tikka Masala I've had before but it was a really great flavor profile that was complemented well by the crispy and slightly toasted crust. 2) Shrimp Tuscany: 9.5/10. Soo delicious! The cream sauce really suited my taste, similar to an alfredo sauce. The arugula was a perfect bitter contrast that cut the creaminess of the white sauce. Highly highly recommend this! Overall great place to eat some authentic and fresh pizza! I would recommend this place to family and friends! read more

All my reviews are just reminders to myself. Eat it there while it's fresh, not as good when you bring back home. Thin crispy crust Not the gooey, stretchy type of cheese A bit pricier now - pay cash or through online ordering system Free drinks for first timers Fungi lama - good veggie pizza, strong truffle oil scent, taste of mushrooms really shine through Bombay tikka masala - nice blend of flavors and sauces, on the savory/saucy side, wish it had a little more meat though read more

Had the Pepperoni bumblebee sting, and as others have mentioned, quite flavorful, as it has a combination of honey and some peppers that aren't too spicy, but was tasty enough for me. The menu showed 3 red peppers indicating this was probably the spiciest level, but not spicy at all, at least for me. Also would agree that the portion size was a bit less for me, since I love eating pizza, and finished the pizza on my own. Slices are thin, but that's good in a sense, I just had an appetite when I ordered take out, so finished it all. I would say if you go when you are not so hungry or just want to taste some good pizza. Definitely will go back only knock is portion size, but I guess you compensate that with the unique flavors they offer. read more

What a disappointment! I've read all the great reviews for a few years and have been trying to get here for awhile. Why are they getting two stars? 1.) it wasn't raining and they had a leak in their roof and buckets on display. 2.) only 1 employee. 3.) you order from an electronic system and since I've never been there before there was no one to ask questions too. The 1 employee was to busy doing everything. 4.) I don't like restaurants that can't give you free tap water. To me that's such a simple thing and a forced money maker for the restaurant. 5.) we ordered 4 pizzas for 5 people. We mainly picked the pizzas labeled award winning pizzas. 5a)The bulgoki one had way too much sauce and very little meat. Do sweet smelling I couldn't eat it. My hubby complained it was too sweet to eat. On the other hand it was my mil favorite. 5b) shrimp pizza was good but could use a little more flavor. 5c) American was my favorite this one was served hot. 5d.) Marguerite pizza was ok, I've had better. The other pizzas were so disappointing and came out like warm. Surprising because when using this type of oven at a hot temp I've never been served a warm pizza. We won't go back. It's not worth the hype. Spent $90 on pizzas that were meh. read more

This place is a small establishment feeding large appetites for delicious pizza. I came here after a long hike, so best believe I was starving. They have a very extensive pizza menu to satisy all tastes and palettes. There's about 4-5 tables inside and about the same amount of seating outside both in a very casual setting. This place has one goal in mind and that's to serve up some mouth-watering pizzas. I tried Margherita, Habibi and Fungi Lama and they all were delectable. My only gripe is that I'd prefer the bottom crust to be a little more crisp. They were very soft so picking up each slice was like picking up a flimsy piece of dough where the toppings slide off easily. With that said, the abundance of flavors were all there so they were still very enjoyable and satisfying. Ordering food is only done via the online website which I suppose makes things quite simple. They make orders in the order they are received so just like the seating, it's first come, first serve. The staff were helpful since they explained everything to my group since we were all first-timers. And each water or soda of choice for each person was complimentary :) read more

I was in the LA area looking for food and came across this place. Since I love Chicken Tikka Masala, I decided to give it a try and ordered the Tikka Masala pizza. One of the staff members mentioned that the pizzas are personal-sized, but honestly, I wouldn't have been able to finish a whole one by myself. Unfortunately, when the pizza arrived, it was cold--as if it had been sitting out for a while before being served. I really dislike cold food, so this was disappointing. About 10 minutes later, we received the New York-style cheese pizza, which was fresh and hot. It was surprising that the Tikka Masala pizza, which seemed like it would take longer to prepare, was served first, and yet it wasn't warm. The flavors were good, and I really wanted to enjoy the experience, but the temperature of the food took away from it. I ended up reheating the pizza at home in the air fryer, and it wasn't as great. I wish it had been served fresh and hot from the start. read more

All hits, no skips! This is hands down the best pizza place in the tri-city area! There's so many unique and exotic options. This isn't your run of the mill pizza joint. The ingredients are high quality and the combinations are well thought out. The service is super friendly, quick and patient. I recommend the habibi or the tikka masala if you want to try something out of the box. The place is laidback and chill. Imagine Mediterranean/Italian fusion. I know those two may not sound like they would mesh well, but I promise that they do. The prices are a little higher than your average pizza spot but it is worth it. I would say that that a single pizza would be enough for 2 people of medium builds (140lbs). Try this spot if you're in the area. I drive 25 minutes to come here and I always leave satisfied. read more

International comfort food dishes as a pizza .... Can I get a mic drop? Because my jaw dropped when I read the menu. Like whoa, the owner and I should be kindred spirits. He is totally in sync with my food spirit. On a cold January wet night, I was scrolling through Yelp and saw this amazing pizza place. The menu spoke to me and the photos were calling to my inner fatty. Just a tip to my fellow yelpers .... Do not call the restaurant. Order from their website. I made the mistake of calling and thought they were closed. On their website they have a few disclaimers and one is that the best way to order is through their website. Now to the food. The Habibi Pizza was like biting into a gyro. The bread was soft, chewy, and fluffy. The meat was well seasoned. The yogurt sauce was so tasty. There was diced grilled onions. I mean put this all together and it was as if I was eating a lamb gyro sandwich. YUM! Bombay Tikka Masala was also just as delish as the Habibi. Tender chicken doused in masala sauce. The crust of the pizza was like wood fired naan. So good! Hubby picked up the pizza but mentioned that the service was so kind when he picked it up. They gave him complimentary sodas with our pizzas. This place definitely won my heart through my stomach. Can't wait to try more of their pizzas. Bon appetit yelpers! read more

A Pizzaiolo (pizza master) Chef Ali totally rocks! This is definitely award winning pizza with many unique selections on the menu. The Habib one was excellent if you like Gyros and the fungi mushroom was delicious. We even had a sample of the Tika masala chicken pizza which was also excellent. The chef Ali is so awesome with everyone he encounters in the restaurant. The dough is double zero flour and cooked perfectly. The toppings all of great quality and the recipes are definitely unique and of award winning quality. There is some small interior and exterior tables and limited canned sodas and bottled water. Plenty of street parking. You can order online and pay with credit card or pay cash only inside. Place can get very busy so be patient as the pizzas might take a bit longer but totally worth the wait. Definitely a gem of a Neapolitan style pizza taken up next level by Chef Ali! read more

For mains we got the House Italian Sausage pizza, the Calabrian Salami pizza, and the Rabbit Bolognese. Both pizzas were great but the Calabrian Salami was definitely our favorite! The honey and spice combo was so good and the crust was perfectly crispy. The Rabbit Bolognese was also incredible, and tasted fresh and light instead of heavy like some bolognese can be. Our waiter gave us the pistachio tiramisu on the house for my mom's birthday, which was such a sweet gesture, and it was delicious!

Fast forward to last weekend, we had to be in Pasadena for an errand and finally decided it was time to try it for dinner. I'm so glad we did because this place was SO good! The menu is a little more diverse than a traditional Greek menu, which honestly made it even harder to choose because there were so many amazing options. We ended up ordering the grilled octopus, mussels, chicken kebab, and sea bass, and every single dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors and textures were just wonderful, and I would genuinely recommend every one of these dishes. The mussels were actually a last-minute decision and ended up being one of my favorite dishes of the night, if not my favorite. The broth was seriously incredible, and the bread that comes with it was the perfect pairing. I usually don't love dense bread, but because this bread sits in the broth and soaks it all up without completely falling apart, every bite was perfection. It could sit in that broth for 30 minutes and still hold together, and honestly, I could have eaten that entire bowl just for the broth and bread! The ambiance is also wonderful. We sat outside on the rooftop on a beautiful summer evening, which made the whole experience even better. Service was excellent too. We didn't have a reservation, it was a Saturday night, and they were able to get us seated within about 30 minutes. I genuinely cannot wait to come back. The only problem is that I want to try everything else on the menu, but I also want to order all the same things again because they were that good! I was already thinking about how much my family would love this place when they come visit. If you haven't tried Café Santorini yet, you're missing out!

Very unique and good, I look forward to replicating at home with a little more balsamic. I ordered the Settebello $21 pizza as a main entree of which I thought was advertised with pancetta, mushrooms and Italian sausage. Pizza came out hot and fresh, but with prosciutto instead of the perceived menu listed pancetta. Pizza sauce was good, the sausage and mushrooms were great. Crust was a little doughy, not crispy but charcoal charred in places. Not phenomenal but not bad, middle of the road overall. Service started off great but fell flat to the floor. Drinks and food came out on time indicating bar staff and kitchen staff were on point. Waiting staff could up their game. No check up or check in. No offers for drink refills or another round. I had to ask for refills on water. Final bill $56.35 for one drink, appetizer and pizza for a solo dinner. Three (3) stars at best! Room for improvements.

We visited this restaurant at the beginning of Dine LA for lunch ($35)…read more When we arrived, the door was locked and had to be let in by the staff though there were at least 5 other parties dining there. I thought that was a bit odd, but I guess it was to detract from unwelcomed guests (i.e. homless people)? Anyhow, we were seated right away and sat by the window which was nice! We were given the menus, but I had to specifically ask for the DineLA menu which I also thought was a bit odd since it seemed like they wanted us to order off their regular menu. Perhaps this was just an oversight. For starters, we ordered 1 of each that was offered: Ceviche Carretillero - Refreshing and brought me back to time spent in Peru! I preferred this option Salpicon - This was also refreshing and reminded me of chicken salad mix in a bowl though not sure I would order it without it being a part of a prix fixe. For the main course, we ordered: Saltado Salad - This had minimal protein and was not so satisfying when compared to a traditional lomo saltado, but the protein that was there was yummy. Aji Gallina - I really was excited to see this on their menu since I love this dish so much and don't see it offered too often at Peruvian restaurants. Though the sauce was good, the chicken was VERY dry and hard to chew (overcooked) so it took a while to finish this. In lieu of desserts, they offered Maracuya (passion fruit) and Chicha Morada (purple corn) juices which were yummy but the star of the show was their sangria which was delicious especially on a hot day. My only complaint about the sangria was that we were charged for 3 carafes when we only got 2. Once we identified this, we brought it up and just went ahead and enjoyed the 3rd one since we had already settled the bill. That being said, always double check your receipt!

The lunch deals have very generous portions for the price and we were super stuffed after.

If you're looking for the perfect pizza, look no further than 786 Degrees! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm, inviting atmosphere that sets the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and always ready to offer recommendations if you're undecided on what to try. The ambiance is casual and cozy, perfect for a night out with friends or a relaxed family dinner. Let's talk about the pizza - it is absolutely outstanding. The dough is perfectly crispy on the outside, yet soft and chewy on the inside, giving you that perfect balance of texture. The sauce is rich, flavorful, and just the right amount of tangy - it's clear that they use only the finest, freshest ingredients. The cheese is heavenly, with that perfect melt that stretches just the right amount when you take a slice. What I love most about 786 Degrees is their commitment to quality. Every topping is top-notch, from fresh vegetables to premium meats. I've tried several different pizzas from their menu, and each one has been better than the last. Whether you go for a classic Margherita, a hearty meat-lover's pie, or a unique specialty pizza, you can tell that every pizza is crafted with care. The service here is consistently exceptional, with staff that makes you feel right at home. They're always prompt, polite, and happy to accommodate any special requests. And even if the restaurant is busy, you never feel rushed; they take the time to make sure you have everything you need for a fantastic dining experience. On top of all of this, 786 Degrees offers great value. The prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into each pizza. They even offer great deals for larger groups or family-style dining, which makes it an even better option for gatherings or celebrations. Overall, 786 Degrees has earned my highest recommendation. Whether you're a pizza aficionado or someone just looking for a great meal, this place is a must-visit. It's clear that they take immense pride in their craft, and it shines through in every bite. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and head over--your taste buds will thank you! read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sapori and let me tell you, it was a pizza experience like no other! We tried the Habibi and Let's Date Honey pizzas, and they completely blew us away. From start to finish, the service provided by Alejandro was outstanding. He went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, even setting up a new table when they were out of seats. After a long hike nearby, the cool AC inside was a welcome relief. We started with one pizza, but it was so delicious that we couldn't resist ordering a second one. The thin and crispy crust was just to our liking, although I wished it had a bit more flavor. Nevertheless, it was still a delightfully crispy base for the mouthwatering toppings. The Habibi pizza had a calming, almost Halal Guy-inspired flavor, beautifully combining different ingredients. On the other hand, the Let's Date Honey pizza was a flavor explosion, with a perfect balance of spicy and sweet flavors, complemented by three different types of meat. The addition of arugula was a nice touch, though I would have loved it if some of the arugula had been toasted as well. Overall, I'm eager to return to Sapori and explore more of their tantalizing pizza creations. While the price is reasonable, I must admit I wished the portions were slightly bigger. However, the quality and flavor of the pizzas certainly made up for it. If you're looking for a unique pizza experience with fantastic service, Sapori is the place to be. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. I can't wait to come back and try more of their tempting pizza options! read more

--- Sapori Di 786 Degrees -- Pasadena, CA "Sapori" means "flavors" in Italian, and this place delivers on that promise in every single bite. If you're looking for wood-fired pizza that's both artistically crafted and deeply satisfying, Sapori Di 786 Degrees is a must-visit. This award-winning Halal pizzeria doesn't just make pizza -- it tells a story through every pie, drawing inspiration from flavors around the world. The crust is where it all begins. Baked in an authentic wood-fired oven, it comes out beautifully charred, airy, and perfectly chewy -- the hallmark of true Neapolitan-style craftsmanship. Whether you go for the classic Margherita with fresh mozzarella, basil, and vibrant tomato sauce, or venture into their more adventurous white pizzas topped with mushrooms and fresh arugula, every option feels intentional and elevated. What sets this place apart is its creative spirit. The menu goes well beyond the expected, fusing global influences with Italian technique in ways that feel both surprising and completely natural. It's the kind of spot that earns its reputation as one of the top pizzerias in California -- not through hype, but through consistent quality and genuine passion for the craft. The service was decent and gets the job done -- nothing over the top, but friendly and efficient enough that it doesn't take away from the experience. At the end of the day, the pizza speaks for itself. If you're in the Pasadena area, this is not a place to skip. Just be ready to come hungry. read more

It's rare to find a place where you can count on both great service and great food every single visit, but Sapori 786 nails it. Now let's talk about the pizza -- it's next-level. Sapori 786 doesn't just stick to the traditional; they experiment in the best way possible. One of the absolute standouts is their Habibi pizza. It's a magnum opus of pizza that brings together Middle Eastern spices, tender meat, creamy garlic sauce, and fresh toppings in perfect harmony. Every bite is bursting with bold, aromatic flavor that's both comforting and exciting. The Habibi pizza is the kind of dish that perfectly showcases Sapori 786's creativity and commitment to offering something truly unique. Next time you're wondering where to spend your pizza dollar, take it to these pros, and you won't be disappointed. read more

This pizza place was amazing and really like no other!! They are an absolute must try! They use the freshest ingredients and only make the pizza once you are there. All their pizzas are really unique in flavor and it feels like you are traveling around the world sampling all the finest taste each country has to offer. The owner of this restaurant Ali is very passionate about his pizza craft and it shows through in his food. Because this joint takes pride in their pizzas they do not do any deliveries because their pizza is meant to be eaten on the spot. So if you can totally order the pizza and just eat it in the car if you can! You won't regret it! My family and I tried the Shrimp Tuscany, All Fired Up, and Istanbul. All 3 pizzas were delicious but the Istanbul pizza was hands down our favorite and we can't wait to go back and try the other flavors! Defiantly check this place out it is a must!! read more

First time trying Sapori Di 786 Degrees and wow... what an experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Chef Carlos, who immediately made us feel welcomed. He took the time to walk us through the menu since it was our first visit, and honestly, you don't come across that kind of genuine hospitality often. He's truly an asset to this place. It felt less like we were at a restaurant and more like we were at his home, just hanging out and getting ready to enjoy some amazing food. He recommended the Bombay Tikka Masala pizza and the Honey Let's Date and both were absolutely delicious. The Honey Let's Date was hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had! The Tikka Masala pizza was also incredible, packed with flavor and something totally unique. I seriously can't wait to come back and try the El Chapo next. If you're thinking about coming here, do it you won't regret it! read more

Absolutely the Best Pizza - Hands Down! 786 Degrees in Pasadena is on another level. We came in with a big group -- all 12 of us, family in tow -- and they didn't miss a beat. The customer service was top-notch from the moment we walked in. Friendly, welcoming, and fast, even with such a large party. Now let's talk about the pizza... unbelievable. Every bite was packed with flavor, and you can taste the passion and creativity in every slice. Unique, delicious, and unlike anything else out there. Easily the best pizza I've ever had -- and I don't say that lightly. Highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates amazing food and genuine hospitality. Can't wait to come back! read more

I love this guys spirit! Enthusiastic and energetic. This guy came to America and made his dream come true. Hard work and laser focus, he beat all obstacles and overcame all challenges. Something most Americans need to learn from,(not all Americans, just a small minority) Its amazing to see an immigrant come to America and succeed. With no help from anyone but himself. Yet most Americans are lazy and blame the other race for all their troubles. Don't you wonder sometimes how people come here and make something of themselves yet the ones born here grow up and do nothing? Looking or help from the government? Sad! But this place rocks and I love their pizzas! read more

I LOVE 786 Degrees Pizza! Ali is truly a pizza artist and I deeply respect how he shows appreciation for so many cultures around the world through the medium of pizza. In particular, I just fell in love at my first bite of the Indian-inspired Guru pizza. I could eat it day and night. Soft bubbly crust, perfectly balanced sauce, cheese and toppings but most of all, his signature saffron, mango and paneer-infused tikka drizzle is the STAR. Honestly, Ali should sell that stuff by the jar, I would put it on everything. EAT THIS NOW! It's so good that you can even bring your super picky desi parents and they will love it too! read more

The previous reviews accurately reflect the quality of this establishment! We discovered this place while walking through the neighborhood, and at the time, Carlos was the sole employee on duty. He proved to be friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The ordering process is straightforward, and the pizza is cooked in just 90 seconds! If you're looking for a quick, delicious, and authentic pizza made with quality ingredients, this is definitely a spot worth visiting. read more

Came here with my family during a trip and ordered a few pizzas, they were so yummy! My favorites were the Shrimp Tuscani and the Bumblebee Sting... Wow! the flavors were incredible! And the crazy part is, we didn't even eat them warm, still amazing. The customer service was excellent! The staff was very friendly, and we didn't wait long. I liked the ambience; it felt cozy and welcoming. Can't wait to come back and try more since they've got a ton of options on the menu! read more

Had an amazing experience at 786 Degrees - Pasadena! The pizzas were absolutely delicious -- the heart-shaped Napoletana Margherita, the flavorful Chef's Choice, and the rich That's Amore were all fantastic.

Friendly and efficient service from start to finish. Very chill vibes, set up more for take out. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much but their Detroit style pizzas? Legit. This place ate and left no crumbs! The pizza sauce & toppings were the perfect kind of marriage - tangy & flavorful, cheesy & crusty at the same time. We got vegetarian pizzas(spicy Italian with mushrooms replacing sausage and the Greek!) Perfect crusty edges, while the middle is dense yet soft! Yum. Lots of locals coming in to pick up orders as we sat inside and ate. Towards the end of our meal it sounded as if they were running low on pizzas left for the day, so maybe get there earlier in the day if you want to have all their options available.

I read a lot of the reviews saying the Biggio was where it's at, so I had to try that one. We also did the half and half deal and got the BBQ chicken with it. Amongst the two, the BBQ chicken was overall tastier. The Biggio, although I love meat lover pizza, was a bit too salty for me. The saltiness felt like they could've prepped the meats a bit more but I did feel the heaviness that came with it. The BBQ chicken was a good balance of savory and sweet. I wish the pricing was better and that the pizza was less salty. Overall it's pretty good, but for value I'm going to try and find another deep dish joint.

I've had a lot of pizza from New York City, to Italy, to many destinations in between and this crust is up there as some of the best especially to be based in California. That being said, I've had better pizza. The sauce really left something to be desired. It was underwhelming and a bit bland. The wow factor was definitely missing and sauce tends to really make or break a good slice of pizza. Same goes for the cheese used...It just lacked that yummy cheesy goodness you usually anticipate when you bite into a slice and it didn't help that they were a little skimpy with how much cheese they put on their pizza. I think this place would be phenomenal if they took the time to nail the sauce down and really invested in good quality cheese. They're so close just missing the mark on the flavor. The crust absolutely saves them from being bad but it still made it just an "okay" slice of pizza. The staff at the order window were friendly and helpful. The environment could use a little cleaning but overall it seems like it reflected the hipster/ quick eats vibe they're going for and it works for their business. Try this spot out and judge for yourself.

Pizza is excellent, spicy chicken pasta - also excellent. Garlic knots, the best I have ever had! And their romano cheese is the best as well, I sprinkle it on everything. The entire menu is delicious; old school, flavorful, quality recipes that haven't changed one bit in 28 years. Service is great, staff are wonderful and friendly, and the ambiance is small, cozy and full of character. If you live in Pasadena or are just visiting, put Tarantino's on the top of your list. I've eaten at every Italian restaurant in Pasadena - all are great - but Tarantino's has a special place in my heart. Dan, the one who started this incredible place, is the man! Stop by Wednesday or Thursday evenings to see him. Awesome guy.
