    Chicken Parm sandwich
    michelle y.

    Tiny little joint but really good food. Though not celiac safe there are heaps of GF options. Chicken parm sammy was epically good. Thin cutlet, super moist. Sauce was nice. Bread was crunchy but not hard. Pizzas were all good. Little greasy. Bruschetta was a free amuse bouche. Delicious tomato mix. Acidic, spicy 10/10. Only serves beer and wine in limited amounts. Would go back for sure !

    BBQ pizza
    Sun K.

    Omg this place is so comforting and the staff are phenomenal! Super nice and happy to answer any questions we had about the menu. The Spicy Pasta -- the sauce is DIE for! (Pro-tip: order the stuffed mushrooms w sausage and make those babies swim in this sauce). Pasta is cooked perfectly al dente. The sauce isn't too spicy (so if you have wiggle room to make the pasta MORE spicy if you want). Stuffed Mushrooms -- these are little crack bombs. They are savory, salty and have the "lingering taste" that makes you want to order more. Burrata Salad w/ Seasonal Fruit -- The Burrata cheese is fresh and delicate and whatever balsamic the kitchen gave us --- it's a hit! This dish is a refreshing additional that compliments the pizza and pasta entrees BBQ Pizza -- the pizza didn't feel too overwhelming. Not overloaded w/ toppings. I really like the bread (we spit the crusts by dipping it in the balsamic and the pasta sauce). The dough has a nice soft crunch to it but it is soft/chewy enough that it doesn't hurt your teeth. I like pizzas that have a bit more sauce to them (personal preference) but pizza is a nice "lighter version" to enjoy w some wine. This place has limited indoor seating and an outdoor seating area. I am really excited to try more of the menu!

    Vegetable Minestrone Soup
    Ross W.

    Our favorite part of the meal was the complimentary bread & dip as well as the soup. Both Tomato Bisque and Vegetable Minestrone were so flavorful. Don't be alarmed. The food was good too. The Shrimp & Crab Ravioli, a special, had a good amount of crab. Jo Jo's Spicy Pasta is deservingly a popular dish. The portion was generous. The restaurant is tiny with a few tables. The patio is more spacious although I didn't step outside. I believe diners were watching a game on TV outside. Service was friendly and attentive. Our server offered us more bread & dip after we devoured the first round. I look forward to returning.

    Had a quick dinner with a friend here in Pasadena on a Friday night. We ordered two pasta dishes, and it came with a complimentary appetizer.As much as I would love to give this place five stars, unfortunately, I found a piece of white hair in my appetizer sauce, which made the rest of the meal a bit harder to enjoy. The spicy pasta I ordered was still good overall (8/10). The cheesy bread it came with was great, and I liked how rich and thick the cream sauce was with the seasoning well incorporated. Service-wise, the cashiers were a bit rushy, likely because it was close to closing time. The ambience inside was nice and cozy, and there was also outdoor seating available. Parking is available at the parking structure across the street for around $7 on a weekday night.

    The food here was really good I had the spicy jojo's pizza and it was one of the best pizza's I ever had. The service was so good and they were also kind enough to give my kids toys. Our waitress Cynthia was really kind and showed us all the dessert's and helped us what to order. The Ambiance was like I was in Italy and it had a dodger game on the 2 tv's outside.

    We stopped in for a good meal. And a great meal we had! Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna and Ravioli. We had soup and salad. The soup was hot and the salad was fresh and crisp. We even brought home a little for tomorrow. Our server was so helpful. There several menus due to Valentine Day. We dined outside and were do happy to have a heater. The outside dining was so nice. They have nice lighting and great music playing. However I know they can't help it but flocks of birds kept flying over squawking. So glad they have a covering over the dining area so we didn't get pooped on.

    What a Pasadena gem! We really loved this small business and found the pasta and pizza to be abundant and delicious!! I particularly loved the Pasta (though it wasn't spicy at all). Service was quick. We sat outside on a busy Friday night but got taken care of quickly. Ambiance is nice; there is a small indoor seating area and a really lovely outdoor patio perfect for upcoming fall nights :)

    Ice House

    We were a party of 4 looking for dinner before an Ice House show and were more than pleasantly surprised when we found this amazing spot. There is both inside and patio seating with a very home style atmosphere. I had the pasta carbonara which was comparable to pasta in Rome. It came with cheese toast, a very nice addition. Our party also had soup and a very large walnut salad that filled a very large plate. Our server was very attentive, informative and helpful.

    Found this hidden gem in Pasadena, tucked away on a quiet street, it almost looked abandoned at first, lol. I was craving pasta, and this place did not disappoint. Honestly, I've never been big on pasta or Italian food, but after eating at Tardino, I was hooked. The food is immaculate, so good I ended up coming back every week. The owner/chef even hooked me up with some red and green onions, which added the perfect flavor. I'm officially addicted. If you're visiting LA (or even if you live here), you have to check this cute little restaurant out!

    31. Death Star Meat Lover Pizza(no ham)
    Gizelle F.

    Patio dining. Street parking only. Music videos playing on a screen, very kid and dog friendly! Was pleasantly surprised by how tasty and filling the pizza is. A 12 inch pizza is enough for two people! We ordered the death star with no ham. The JoJo's spicy pasta, despite being highly recommended on the menu, didn't really have much flavor for me. I didn't find it very spicy. It just tasted somewhat oily. I also thought the pear and Gorgonzola salad was just ok. They were very kind towards my family with great service. I would return again, definitely for the death star pizza, and possibly try a different salad.

    Yes, I believe they allow dining with the dogs if you are dining on the patio. They now serve brunch on Sunday mornings.

    Any vegan options? Thanks

If you're visiting with a stroller, I'd recommend leaving it behind if possible. There are no elevators and while ADA-accessible ramps are available, they were somewhat out of the way. The walkways are also very narrow, with tables from neighboring eateries further limiting the space. The restaurant itself is quite small, with only three indoor tables that seat four people each, no outdoor seating available. Since all the tables were occupied, we opted for takeout. When we arrived, no one was at the counter so we had to ring the bell to get assistance. The Detroit-style pizza was delicious and definitely lived up to expectations. The crust was perfectly crispy, and the pizza had great flavor overall. My only major complaint was the temperature inside the restaurant. The thermostat was showing 87 degrees, and it felt very warm. Standing inside for just a few minutes while ordering was uncomfortable so I can't imagine dining in and enjoying a hot pizza in those conditions. Despite the heat and limited seating, the pizza itself was delicious and worth trying if you're in the area.

It was a great appetizer consisting of arugula, and goat cheese wrapped in prosciutto, with an impressive large thin sliced piece of Parmesan on top drizzled with a balsamic reduction. 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.

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.

The service has been consistently friendly and attentive both times I've visited. The food has honestly been fantastic. This has quickly become my go-to spot when I want a really good pizza made with fresh, quality ingredients. The dough is one of my favorite parts, not too heavy, not too thin, and it has the perfect crisp to it. Their macaroni and cheese was amazing too. You can tell they use good quality cheese because it wasn't oily, clumpy, or overly greasy like a lot of places. Everything was smooth, rich, and well balanced. I also tried the broccolini, which tasted really good overall. Personally, I would've loved a little garlic on it and for it to be cooked slightly softer since it was still pretty crunchy, but that's just my own preference and not really a complaint. The Caesar salad was excellent as well.

My partner likes dipping pizza in ranch, and the crust (especially the edge) was perfect for that. If you're not a fan of overly saucy pizza, this is definitely for you--the sauce doesn't overpower the sausage or pepperoni. The cheese was evenly distributed, so every bite felt balanced. 3/5 - Broccolini The broccolini was just okay. I liked the char and the slight smoky flavor, along with the hint of lemon and cheese on top. However, I wish it had been blanched a bit more, as it was crunchier than I prefer. The tops were slightly over-charred for my taste, and the texture didn't quite come together. You order before being seated, which is a bit different, and then it's open seating--bar seats, booths, or tables depending on your preference. We chose a corner booth since there was a birthday party in the center of the restaurant. The space can comfortably accommodate groups of 5-10 people. One thing to note (not the restaurant's fault) is that there were children running around quite a bit, which made it feel a little chaotic at times. Since there aren't any activities or designated areas for kids, it would be nice if parents were a bit more mindful so everyone can enjoy their dining experience. The servers were extremely nice and attentive, especially when it came to refilling drinks. You may need to check in with them for things like to-go boxes, but overall the service was solid. Overall, I would come back again.

There were a few people at some tables finishing up their lunch. While I was there the phone was constantly ringing with takeout orders. The walls had simple decorations that created a nice ambiance.
