This place has some delicious pizza that is on the thicker side and packed with toppings. Each slide is hefty and has the toppings toppling over. The Bambino special has a ton of flavor. They have couple of tables for dining in but I think they mainly do takeout or delivery. The restaurant owner was very friendly and they have a very large selection of different Italian foods.
So good, salad is so fresh, no business being so good at like 6pm. Unreasonable amount of delish parm. Not cheap bad cheese either. Having a horrible Christmas, called the man he said no problem, will get u a meal b4 we close. Florentine pizza delish, like so good. I don’t want to share, but want to keep them open. So lovely, better than other small pizza places here. Other pizza places here, really no effort and bad customer service, others are cutting back on ingredients, but bambino’s is chill. Cheaper than big chains and so much better. The crust and sauce on pizza is so good. Little LA gem! Why is the salad so good, u can get 2 for 1 rn, online get it. I got it delivered so no clue what atmosphere is like.
Today was our first time and 10 outta 10. Got it delivered and it was fresh out the oven . Hot wings was breaded and saucy and i only buy Ken's ranch and when I saw the Kens i was like" hey cousin "Lol thank you guys so much. My son is a picker eater and he enjoyed it as well delivery driver was super nice to my son
Best pizza in Pasadena. Get the margherita pizza or veggie pizza if you’re vegetarian. And if you’re not in the mood for red sauce get the Greek.
When I came here I was about 10 minutes early and my order was still in the making. I went in and was greeted very friendly by the worker. I then asked the worker if he could pull the pizza out early because I don’t like burn on the crust and bottom of pizza, and he said he would be happy to do that. I then went outside and after a few minutes he came outside and asked me to take a look if the pizza was to my liking. He pulled out the pizza and it was perfectly cooked. No burnt bottom or edges, and the ingredients were fully cooked, the perfect pizza. I told him that looked amazing and I am happy with how it came out. He then packed the pizza and the cheesy bread sticks that I ordered with it, that were made perfectly as the pizza. When I got home to tasting the pizza and bread sticks, I was blown away from the fact that I could actually taste the difference in the ingredients, and that I tasted things like garlic, and other spices with it. Overall I was incredibly satisfied with the customer service, and the food. 100% worth your money. Will 100% come back!
This family run pizza spot is a nice upgrade over the typical chains. I ordered a small Meat Lovers pizza $11.99 through the slice app and it was ready in about 15 minutes. The pizza was fantastic with generous toppings for the price. If ordering for 2 or more people I suggest a medium or larger. Free parking in lot across from Namaste Spiceland market.
