Pitfire Artisan Pizza

Awesome vibe. Very welcoming and great service. They can make just about any pizza vegan. Vegan Cesar was so fresh. Eat the whole regular portion. Can’t wait to come back💕

Pizza is at its best quality, starting with the dough. So nice and thin. You wouldn’t think you ate bread. You don’t feel that uncomfortable feeling of being too full. Good quality toppings.

My fiancée and I wanted pizza and pasta, and we’d never been here before so we decided to have an adventure. We came in about 2 hours till close so the place was empty, but the staff was so welcoming and friendly! We bought two bottled drinks and asked for only one to be opened, and the server went the extra mile to keep the closed drink in the cooler till our food was ready. The inside was so clean and the atmosphere, even when empty, gave the vibes of a really good hang out spot for groups of people to order tons of food and share all of it. When we got our food, it was pipping hot and it was so worth the wait. The mushroom and garlic pasta was so creamy and flavorful, and their mushroom pizza is now my fiancée’s favorite thin crust pizza. She doesn’t even like thin crust pizza! We will definitely be coming back for future date nights!

Amazing! Ordered a mushroom pizza, squash pizza, and Caesar salad and everything was delicious. Super fast and tasty!

Got take out from Pitfire pizza tonight and Jill who took our order was so amazing! She really made sure we picked out the correct pizza (the honey bear) which was incredible! Thanks Jill for the great recommendation! You rock and the food was soooo good!

On my first visit to Pitfire, it was a great experience. The staff was friendly and I got my order in quickly. At lunch the food also came out quickly, and was fresh and flavorful. I had the Margherita pizza and loved the addition of the Calabrian chilis to the traditional pie.

By far the most delicious pizza I've ever had! I recommend the sausage party & boneless wings (buffalo). The staff were very nice, clean atmosphere, and relaxing seating.

Great food and drinks. Nice and clean restaurant with friendly staff and fast-service. Con: Small parking lot and limited menu Pros: Delicious food and drinks. The adult Arnold Palmer was the best, the chicken pesto pizza, the chicken buffalo bites are a must-try.

Went here for dinner with family. You come in and order at the counter and then they bring you your food to your seats. The pizza is absolutely delicious! The serving sizes are quite large and can be easily shared. I would also recommend the mozzarella garlic knots. They are three to an order with marinara sauce and are delicious as well.

The Brussels and bacon pizza is tasty, however a bit spicy, so taste before you give it to ur kids. The kids love the Mac n cheese and meatballs spaghetti! The staffs are very welcoming and friendly, one of the best place to hang out with ur friends and family in Pasadena.

Best pitfire pizza in the area! Got the sausage pizza and had really good flavor.

Vegetarian/Vegan friendly pizza place with a well-labeled menu. The Vegan Margherita pizza was quite good and the Dressed Avocado was fantastic. The vegetarians in my party had pizza, Mac n Cheese, Cheese garlic knots, and the roasted cauliflower. This was a spacious location in Pasadena.

Tasty pizza as always! Sausage party is always the best choice! Yum!

Great pizza and service in a laid back, spacious spot. We had the burrata pizza and the seasonal spinach asparagus pizza - both were excellent, with a crispy thin crust and fresh ingredients.

The gluten free pesto pizza was good enough to share with my friends.

Food was simple and delicious! Everything came out quickly and the presentation was wonderful. Love the ambiance & vibe of this place. The beer flights were such a fun way to drink. Can’t wait to come back!

Fresh pizza is the best! Pitfire is great at doing it too, with toppings that are wonderful. Ordered one of their seasonal selections fresh corn with chorizo.... Yep it's a goodie. Also got their beef salad and a kids personal cheese pizza. They have an adult bar to choose drinks and beer from. The place is big with lots of seating. Parking in back with a lot of it too. This is the second time we have come and they have an art class on Sunday afternoons. A good option if your looking for pizza and something to do.

I think your restaurant is 5 stars. The pizza is delicious and it has a harmonious atmosphere. The service was friendly and fast. I would recommend it to anyone looking for great pizza in Pasadena. So delicious we ate it too fast to take a photo of the full pizza!

Uberrimaefidei

Wow, pleasantly surprised at its addicting taste! One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had in the world! This place is so underrated, it deserves so much recognition! Perfectly executed Neapolitan pizza! Once you try this you won’t crave pizza from anywhere else!

Darin Cisneros

Great, friendly service and food came quickly. I took a chance getting the chicken meatballs leveled up because I came for pizza. I couldn’t be more pleased. Seriously one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I didn’t want it to end. The whipped ricotta was amazing.

Great pizza with fresh ingredients and a crispy, flavorful crust. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is friendly. Service was a little slow at times, but the quality of the food makes it worth visiting.

I usually come by during lunch and it never seems super busy. Manager is friendly. Good beer selection. Pizza is delish and the chicken meatballs are amazing. If you're looking for greens they have good broccoli & they are not stingy with the portion size. I crave the spaghetti & meatballs about 3 times per week. They serve real Parmesan cheese too. Order ahead if you're in a hurry.

Ordered 3 pizzas, all were very good, Mac and cheese was really good.

This chain offers good quality food at competitive prices, service is excellent and the location is ideal

I like this place. The only reason why it is a 4 star and not a 5 star is because I think the quality of the food suffers a bit. The roasted chicken and cavatappi was a little bland. I expected a bit more flavor, but it was still good. I also had a honey bear pizza. The honey bear pizza was too sweet, and there was too much honey that it overpowered the ricotta cheese, the calabrian Chile, and the sauce. I was too distracted by the constant smell and taste of honey. The menu also said that there was bee pollen on the pizza, but that was unnoticeable to me. Otherwise, the place has a great ambiance, the seats are extremely comfortable, and the service was good when it's not busy.

Running round, running errands. The name had caught my attention before. Pulled over for a slice of pepperoni and cheese pizza. Amazing! I saw the spaghetti and meatballs on the menu and had to try. Amazing! Flushed it all down with a nice, crisp pale ale beer named: fight on! Met Jill, the manager at the bar working. She stopped what she was doing just to welcome me and all my “chatter.” A huge pizzeria with all the right props and ambiance. I will be back asap…… Happy February!

Pizzas are legit. So far has not disappointed. Beef salad is delicious.

The ((BBQ) chicken pizza was fantastic!!!! Coupled w/the Ceasar salad, you can't go wrong. I came when I was done at a nearby aapt., so they had just open the doors for the day. I'm not sure how business is in the evening, but they have a full bar, a constant flow of customers, (during my time there), prompt & friendly service-I just wish there was a pitfire/fireplace on the inside, so it wouldn't feel so cold. Great place g or family/friends to grab GOOD pizza & more!!!!

I was in the area and decided to check this place out. Staff is friendly. Service was fast. I decided to get the sausage party pizza. It was very good.

First time dining in this restaurant. The place was full but I must say that we did not wait too long for our food. The seasonal watermelon and cucumber salad was light and had a nice kick. The little gem Caesar salad was lightly dressed and was not too salty. The pesto chicken pizza was delicious. All thumbs up for the rich umami field mushroom pizza. There was no room for dessert. This is a good place to go when craving pizza!

OMG! The food is absolutely amazing! The macaroni and cheese is bomb! The personal pan pizza and it's toppings was amazing. The Buffalo wings were absolutely delicious and mouth-watering. Enjoyed patio seating near the fireplace on a Saturday afternoon

I've driven by Pitfire many, many times, so one day, I thought I'd give it a try. Very confusing entrance, but I made it in. No arrows or order here sign. I walked up to a gal working there and she pointed to the corner (no words, just pointed). Okay, not good, but I'm hungry. I walked to the corner and was helped by a very nice young lady. She walked me though the ordering process and I ordered my pizza and drink. It's very industrious inside. It's okay, but the sounds echo inside and it's noisy. I thought about eating outside, but it was a little hot that day. After quite a long wait, my food was ready! Pizza was tasty. Size is good - it filled me up! Price ... I need to get used to this post pandemic pricing, because it was expensive for what I received. So four stars, because pricing isn't much different than other pizza places. Food is good, I liked it. Service was good, except for the gal who didn't say anything. It didn't feel very clean inside. The table was sticky and many of the tables had not been cleared. It wasn't busy and there weren't a lot of people inside, so I don't know why they didn't clean up. It's a restaurant! Would I go back? I guess so, but I'd have to be in the right mood.

Margherita pizza had very little sauce and hardly any basil :/ crust tasted great tho.

Great place but the VEGAN- I got the vegan margarita- I chose not to get the vegan sausage bc it was a completely different flavor that I wouldn’t want on a pizza. I really enjoyed the cashew mozzarella…I wouldn’t go out of my way for the pizza

The food and service were excellent — unfortunately, they were completely overshadowed by the absolute breakdown of basic parenting that unfolded around us. We were there in mid-December to celebrate my son’s 12th birthday with family we hadn’t seen in years, a moment that was supposed to be meaningful and memorable. Instead, it became a lesson in unchecked entitlement. Not long after we were seated, a group of parents arrived and promptly abdicated all responsibility for their children. The kids screamed, ran between tables, disrupted other parties, and treated the restaurant like a playground. The parents sat back, fully aware, fully indifferent, watching the chaos as if it were someone else’s problem — which, apparently, it was. As I watched my son handle himself with maturity and respect, I felt proud to be his father. That pride stood in stark contrast to the embarrassment I felt witnessing adults who hold the title of “parent” but clearly reject the duty that comes with it. Pathetic to say the least. If this is what passes for acceptable behavior now — letting children rule public spaces while adults look on smugly — then the future isn’t just disappointing, it’s bleak. Great restaurant. Fantastic staff. But no amount of good food can compensate for an environment ruined by people who mistake public tolerance for approval.

I used to love their pizza but every time I order it the crust is a little burnt, so today I specifically asked them not to burn it cause it’s my favorite part of the pizza. Well the pizza was so burned it was inedible, something like this SHOULD NOT leave the kitchen!!! This is NOT edible. I am so mad, never ordering again and telling everyone not to order from this place. Very sad, because their ingredients are good, but apparently they can’t tell when a pizza is so burned it shouldn’t be served. Embarrassing

Mouse rat across the restaurant right when we starter eating. The fold tasted bad. Better to go to Domino's across the street from this place

How does one mess up a Cesar salad so badly? The amount of dressing added to my salad made me realize why it was served to me with a spoon. Why can’t you add whole croutons instead of crouton powder? It was so tangy. So disgusting.

First let me say the food was horrible. It arrived cold and tasteless.

This location is absolutely disgusting. We dined in and every surface felt extremely greasy and unsanitary. We ordered the Buffalo chicken bites which were not bites but chicken tenders that had tendens all throughout, causing us to get disgusted by the super chew pieces. The glasses were dirty, the pizza was below average and honestly lack luster. I would never return to another pitfire pizza.

My wife and I have been regulars at this Pitfire Pizza location for some time now, and have been going to Pitfire in general since 2012 (DTLA location). Typically we share two pizzas and a salad. Came on a random Tuesday night, place was slow, and thought what could go wrong? Well I think the pictures pretty much say it all here - - both of our pizzas were essentially burnt to a crisp and were not edible. Occasionally, there is some charring, but it is never inedible like it was tonight. On top of that, service was pretty much non-existent (it normally isn’t fantastic to begin with, but usually a little less surly), and clearly, the person responsible for quality control fell asleep at the wheel tonight. Granted this isn’t a gourmet dining establishment, but something like this shouldn’t have ever left the kitchen. The only thing that tasted great was the Kale salad beforehand. Leaving hungry and out close to $50 for two burnt pizzas, a salad, tax & tip, we headed to another restaurant to curb our appetite. Sadly we won’t be back.

Food was no bueno! Ordered a margarita pizza and got a cheese pizza covered in uncooked spinach, wings that were made of something that was definitely not chicken, and the place was freezing!
