"The Supreme 12" Supreme Pizza was AMAZINGGG!! so tasty and got here fast as hell! lol! the wings too! my first time trying them they were not bad! ((:"
"My large pizza was tasteless. Very very little Italian sausage and jalapeño peppers . marinara sauce had no flavor and they raised their prices. I've order from them for years, but I won't order ever again. Poor quality of food at an extremely high price and all you get is a pizza that tastes like nothing"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This was hands down one of the best tuna sandwiches I’ve ever had. The tuna was incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and generously packed into warm, freshly baked bread that had the perfect crisp on the outside while staying soft inside. Every bite was loaded with fresh tomatoes, onions, lettuce, and crunchy pickles that added the perfect balance of flavor and texture. You can tell they don’t cut corners on quality or portion size. The fries were just as impressive—crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. They were still hot and fresh when they arrived, which made the meal even better. Everything was packaged securely, and all the sauces were included. From the presentation to the taste, this meal exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for an amazing tuna sandwich and some of the best fries around, this place absolutely delivers. I’ll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious, high-quality meal."
"The quality is always top notch! I got the Build Your Perfect Pizza 18" Very delicious, you can immediately taste and feel that they use high quality products on their pizzas. The best thing is that this pizza will not give you heartburn or any stomach issues if you have a sensitive stomach. I highly recommend them!"

"Omg, incredible pizza. FINALLY found a pizza that isn't soaked in oil or soggy. The best, lightest, perfectly textured dough. I get why the inventor ate this everyday. Should a pizza ever be $42? No. But hey, if you have unlimited cash to blow, definitely get this pizza dough"
"I give this place 100/10. There is literally not one thing I can complain about. The taste is amazing, service is amazing. Everything about their pizza is delicious. Toppings are fresh and the dough is just so good. I usually have maximum two slices of pizza but with this pizza I can have literally 10 slices to myself. Highly recommend it."

"This is the best pizza I've ever had in LA! I got thin crust mushroom pizza and it was really good crispy crust, the sauce tasted great - not too thick or overpowering but enough to make the pizza nice and moist, (I don't like dry pizza). It had a good amount of cheese and the mushrooms were thick and juicy. It was very much like a good NY pizza!"

"This has quickly become our favorite local pizza! The quality and flavor is just awesome!!!Fernanda's used to be our go-to but their quality has slipped. Joe's is just so fresh, crisp and delicious!"
"I am officially obsessed with the caprese pie. Moved to LA from NYC, so I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to "NY Style".Ive been to places who nail all the other styles of pizza, but not a good ny style slice. I saw the sign a few weeks back and had been eagerly awaiting to try the pizza at this location. I came here opening day thinking go classic, just get a regular cheese, but as I was about to order the CAPRESE pie came out AND IT WAS CALLING MY NAME. Game time decision, I switched it up, a risky move veering from plan A. They popped a slice into the oven to get a good melt on the fresh mozz. I lifted that slice up which was elegantly decorated with fresh, tomato/basil/mozz and that pizza did NOT flop. Perfectly thin, perfectly crisp. Light and officially my new #1 go to. I was so pleased, I came back the following day for a regular cheese and a slice of pepperoni. Those tasted like all the memories of being mischievous at 12am in the New York City streets. Staff is a vibe too. I can't speak for you, but I know I'll be coming back often. "

"Fiorellli's pizzas are always perfect: A+ dough, A+ sauces, A++ fresh ingredient combos, always chef's kiss. Pastas are a nice accompaniment, and Chicory Ceasar is a great side with legit sardines. We always have way too much, because we want everything, but when feeding family or friends, Dinner Special is a great way to make it still comes out to a great value. Pro tip: Pick up some cookies for afterwards."
"I have been a loyal customer since discovering them in Venice. I have so many great things to say, good memories and a connection to the people creating my food. I traditionally order a pepperoni pizza, last night tried the supreme and I'm sold! The red SS use the perfect blanket for the toppings, sweet, savory, and just enough cheese to make it umami!! The meatballs are so tender accompanied by the burrata is a divine hite you shouldn't skip. Now I'm a restore if habit so the Parmesan tenders are always a must the pickled hurry peppers set their flavor on fire. It's not only recommended it's a necessity, go for the good and leave with a connection that will have you returning."

"I ordered a Detroit Style Pizza. It was solid though wasn't cooked/broiled on top as much as I like and I do feel like the toppings are $$$. The cheese was still white as if only just melted. I popped it in my air fryer to get it bubbly and brown on top. Really delicious though."
