Top 5 Pizza in California

2945 E Broadway, Long Beach, CA 90803, United States

“I had very high expectations for this Long Beach Italian restaurant, based on reviews I've read and on the fact that the owners are from Rome, the city where I was born and raised. I mean, it's a good restaurant and the food is good, but if I compared it to any good restaurant in Rome, it would totally lose. We had suppli' (fried rice balls with a ragù sauce and mozzarella) as an antipasto, which is a staple of Roman street food, and that was the first disappointment. Like I said, I don't mean to say the food was bad, but it was on the bland side, when compared to what you can eat in any Roman "rosticceria" or restaurant. I can say the same about the Amatriciana pasta. The pasta itself was very good and well-cooked, but the sauce was nowhere near as savory as what you'd typically get in Rome. I suspect one of the reasons is that real guanciale and 100% pecorino cheese (what the original recipe calls for) make this dish a tad too pungent for people who aren't used to this flavor. The pizza was much better and pretty much on a par with an average pizza in Rome. But not with the best pizzerias in the city. Finally, the panna cotta dessert was OK, but nothing special. Consider that this isn't a cheap restaurant, and my reviews are always based on value for the money.”

“A nice quick bite located conveniently in the Dogpatch area around several gyms. Pizza was great, but a but pricey for what you get. They had a good sour on the menu if you're into beers. Forgot to mention they have a great craft beer selection.”

“so good”

322 Birch St, Westwood, CA 96137, United States

“Delicious food and family-friendly atmosphere. We enjoyed three different types of pizza, salad bar (which was filled with fresh greens and multiple add- ons to choose from) and specialty sandwiches. Everyone said that they loved their food. They were very accommodating for my son's birthday party, and fun was had by all. The bathrooms were very clean (actually, the whole restaurant felt well taken care of). The kids enjoyed the arcade games as well. Buffalo Chips is always a stop for our family when we are visiting, and we can't wait to come back. Thank you!!”

“really good food. Has some good family meals. It is now take out only. Wish they would open the dining room again but still really good food. Get the Big D pizza.”

2909 Ygnacio Valley Rd, Walnut Creek, CA 94598, United States

“I frequently go with my girlfriend for lunch to this place and in my opinion the quality of the food was very good. I like seafood, lasagna and pizza, my girlfriend likes pasta. For its price it is very good.”

607 Main St, Ferndale, CA 95536, United States

“The food is wonderful! The people are friendly. It was really busy so they let us order while we waited. The food was there a minute of us seating down. There were always leftovers. The one time salad bar is yummy.”

1431 Bird Ave., San Jose, CA 95125, United States

“Yes it's real New York style slice just in case you were wondering. Can't complain about this pie. Atmosphere awesome and they serve beer. What else can you ask for? Slices not to expensive but salads could use a plastic ware upgrade but then again who's eating sald😆 Can't go wrong with a slice of GOAT!”

700 Welch Rd #110, Palo Alto, CA 94304, United States

“Good food, large portions. Several vegetarian options. Friendly, attentive service. Nice wine by the glass. There were two main downsides: it was loud, and our table for four was so large that it was hard to hear across.”

528 Seabright Ave, Santa Cruz, CA 95062, United States

“I was really impressed by quality of the food and the level of service. The menu offered a wide variety of classic Italian dishes, all of which we ordered were prepared to perfection. I particularly enjoyed the stagioni pizza and the gnocchi, both of which were packed with flavor. The gnocchi was light and fluffy with a rich tomato sauce. The wine list was also top-notch, offering a great selection of Italian wines to complement the food. The highlight of the meal was the chocolate mousse, which was creamy and decadent with the perfect balance of sweetness. The wait staff was being friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. Highly recommend to have a reservation.”

“Had a lovely dinner here, with amazing food, upscale cocktails and a mellow dimly lite ambiance. Perfect for a romantic date or just grabbing a relaxed bite. The service was on pretty on point our server was very polite and friendly. The pizzas were simple but definitely elevated and made with the finest and freshest ingredients. Pro Tip: ask them about there tiramasu 🤌🤌”

800 San Benito St, Hollister, CA 95023, United States

“Damn good burgers. Thick, juicy and popping with flavor. The bang bang St Louis Ribs are delicious and my go to every time I go. My favorite burger is the pork belly burger, make sure to have extra napkins when eating it.”

“I'm a old customer, been eating at this place for years, I can't recall how many years but the pizza here is incredibly delicious. I would've gave this place 5 stars but at my most recent visit, I started to notice that the pizzas were smaller and for the beef pizza with pepperoni, the beef changed from small pieces but more portions of it to marble shaped sizes but smaller portions. Now, they arent serving more of the toppings as before, which disappointed me and my family. I also got a Hawaiian pizza and also had fewer toppings. The pizza cutting skills arent the best but overall everything else is going fine. I'm waiting to see more toppings, but not the downfall of this business. (No pictures included, already ate the pizza) Update: The beef situation is solved, it's back to normal! I seen the prices have gotten higher over the years but its probably because of inflation. And, we should understand that the ingredients cost them aswell. The pizza is still delicious.”

“I enjoyed their pizza! The tomato sauce used taste so organic, let me explain, the sauce feels home made to where you sometimes get little tomato pieces with herb. That was so satisfying, less salty than your traditional marinara sauce. The pepperoni taste average, and the jalapeños did taste as though they were out of a can. The dough and sauce were what sold me. Now the garlic bread, I do wish it had more garlic sauce. Preferably drenched. The amount was somewhat low, and the added cheese was not it for me. Although I did not disapprove,(I eat everything by the way. It has to be completely nasty for me not to eat it). 😄 Had I known, I would've asked for no cheese. You also do not get a side of sauce with it. Sucks... There ranch taste similar to KENS brand. The Buffalo sauce taste close to a mixture of BBQ and Frankz. Not a bad combination, but not what I asked for. Overall, was pretty good and wouldn't mind eating here again.”

“Customer service has gotten really bad over there. I placed my order and hour in advance and my order wasn't ready when I got there. The cashier was telling me the same thing every 15-20 minutes that my order will be ready within the hour of waiting. Also the pizza crust wasn't cooked properly they need a new oven. My pizza crust was wet and soggy and the salad was really bad. Also there is not enough space inside and very uncomfortable to get something to drink from the refrigerator's that are placed in the corner. I wouldn't recommend red maple pizza. I actually found another place that is 10× better. I don't like my time or money being wasted. I work all day long. i just want to get my food and go home. The parking lot is very small and to many vehicles to find a parking spot. FYI the cashier has over charged me a few times and also added additional items that I didn't even order. Always asked for your receipt.”

440 S Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs, CA 92262, United States

“Best restaurant in Palm Springs, hands down. Not only was their food outstanding but their service was wonderful too. We were in Palm Springs for a week and ate out for almost every meal so I can confidently say Johnny Costa’s was the best by far. I’m craving their pastas right now! Everything we had was incredibly delicious and fresh, especially the pastas. Everything had an equal balance, not too saucy or dry. If you can get a reservation, make it ASAP!”

“Great experience, loved all the photos of famous directors and the special 92th academy awards wine bottle. Also got to experience the recording studio below the restaurant.”

1770 S Harbor Blvd Ste 140, Anaheim, CA 92802, United States

“My family and I had enjoyed this wonderful establishment’s delectable pizza 6+ years ago one night after a long day after a convention and we have never forgotten it since. Today we drove out 4 hours just to get another taste and it did not disappoint! It was just as wonderful as the first time we had it. Service was quick and friendly. We will definitely be making this a staple to visit whenever we’re in Anaheim. Definitely recommend to grab a bite to eat here if you’re in Anaheim or if you just want great pizza. 😊”

8996 Grant Line Rd, Elk Grove, CA 95624, United States

“Very good and unique pizzas. Free bread sticks if you eat in. Staff was super friendly and fast service. Only reason for the 4 star was that we requested no tomatoes or bell peppers and the pizzas came with both so we had to pick them off. It was not busy only 3 tables with people. Good little place.”
