The delivery driver was fast and polite. He asked me if I was italian, and asked me to let them know what I think. I think it was amazing! The food was fresh and hot, and CHEESY ❤️ The flavors where great. I haven’t had take out Italian this good EVER. We are from Fresno, and came for dodger game. We will def be eating here again when we come back.

The Pastrami pizza was terrible, it had so much mustard you have to lift the cheese and scrape the mustard it off to eat it. Imagine a tablespoon of mustard in one slice ?. If you want to know what a good pastrami pizza tastes like, check out Paisanos Pizza in Hermosa Beach. Not only are they amazingly good, you get an 18" pizza for the price of a 14" at this location. That's 66% more pizza for the same price

The place was small and weird, the guy who was helping me was not friendly, I said thank you but they said nothing, no thank you for coming nothing. I ordered a medium marguerette pizza for $25 or $26, too expensive for a medium size pizza. I was told to go there by my sister. I regret it, never again. The pizza is worth at least $15.

This has been our go to pizzeria for the past 20 years from when it was at Sunset & Alvarado. Love the chewy dough and fresh ingredients. Order online and it will be ready when it is promised. Good, solid, tasty dishes.

The Rustica pizza is simply amazing! It is slathered in garlic and olive oil, no red sauce here. The crispy crusty edges are baked perfectly. The sandwiches are also very good and the bread is fresh and made on sight. We moved over thirty miles away and always try to make it up to LA to buy some food.

Hard to find but amazing staff!! Pizza and salad were good. Not disappointing. The sausage was really good. I would skip the wings.

Burnt pizza. Hard to eat. Other items were fine.

The lasagna is the best in town!! It even beats the copy cat down the street where the original buona used to be at!

I’m giving this a 2 star review because the pizza was good. However my experience here was not pleasant. We wanted to dine in but the place was small and it does not accommodate for couples. The lady that attended me assumed I wanted to order to go. There could have been a better and more professional way to let us know that they had the second table reserved and was asked to wait standing up. Definitely was not a pleasant or welcoming experience at all. Silverware, plates and napkins were not included.

The food is great (especially the fettuccini with chicken and broccoli) but the older lady who sometimes answers to take orders over the phone (not sure what her name is but she has a very thick spanish accent) is almost always extremely rude and seriously needs to work on her customer service skills. Very unprofessional.
