We really wanted to love this place. We love thin crust pizza and, since we cant fly away to Italy on a moment’s notice (or even a year’s notice), we hoped this would be a great alternative. Akin to the hateful world of dating (I’m married now, thankfully), where the first time you meet someone they may be on their very best behavior and you get duped into thinking “this may be the man of my dreams.” The first time I had Side Pie I had all the feels - they presented well, laughed at my jokes, and the pies were delicious. I thought the search was over. Next it was the “I’ll call you in a couple days” phase - or “I’ll have the pie ready at 6pm but it won’t be ready until 6:15pm.” I thought, it’s okay, they had a believable excuse. The pies were a little undercooked but still yummy. The second time I ordered it we were almost “stood up”and waited 40+ minutes for the order - they “made it up to us” and gave us a free pizza. Everyone likes free pizza, right? Answer: NOPE… not when it’s charred to oblivion on the bottom of the pizza and inedible. We tried it yet again, embracing a “three strikes and your out” mentality. But like dating an unattainable, disinterested bad-boy bachelor, we waited almost an hour. They felt bad and, again, gave us another free pizza. When we got home, we realized none of the pizzas were what we ordered. And… they were all charred to oblivion again on the bottom. BOTTOMLINE: if appointments don’t matter, create a new system — like texting when the pie is ready. And if your pizza machines don’t work properly, buy better ones. But for the cost of the pies - exorbitant - it’s simply not worth it. We have officially dumped Side Pie.
The first time I tried to order on a Sunday about an hour before they allegedly close. Nobody answered the phone and the place was dark when I drove by.I gave them another chance a week or two later. Disappointing is an understatement. Lukewarm by the time i got home and I am not far from them. Absurdly overpriced for a pepperoni pie were the dough didnt resemble a pizza dough but was like a chewy crepes.
Thank you for support local artists! Sidepie kept the team fueled to complete the Greetings from ALTADENA mural down the block on Lake. Thank you again!!!!
You must be out of your mind to buy pizza from this place. $20 effin dollars for the nastiest Margarita pizza Ive ever had. 🤮🤮Dont know why it took so long to get my order and when I received it, it was so cold. Honestly would never ever order here or recommend this spot.
Delicious pizza, thin dough. They have a small garden with tables in the back. Good vibes.
Amazing Italian food! I will definitely come back here every time I am in NYC. We got a spot quickly with for two kids and two adults despite busy hour. We were accommodated with food and setting for kids. And yes, the food was incredible! Bathrooms are clean but not fancy.
The place is definitely overpriced and overrated.The pizza was probably a 6 on 10, the edges had not cooked through. When you pay $30 with tax and tip for a pizza, it better be good. Chances are they did not cold ferment the dough well. For a decent Neapolitan style crust there are quite a few better choices around.
Worth the wait! Call ahead to order if you want to skip that line. Their new spot is great - even equipped with tables, string lights, and bathrooms out back where the pizzas are cooking! Our favorite was the green pesto with mushroom.
Love the way they make the pizza. The burned part give it a different taste. Just the way I like it.
Got two altadenas, with tax and tip came out to abt $60- a lil pricey but I’d rather pay a small business than a big chain! Each pizza serves 3ish people. They were SO good. Crust was thin and had lovely char, pepperoni was truly the best (as the site claims), combo of toppings was excellent- an overall stellar pizza. Somehow even better the next day as a cold lunch. We’ve been looking for a small pizza place to frequent since moving to pasadena from Hollywood - I think we’ve found it. Def will be ordering again.
The pizza is AMAZING and don’t sleep on the pesto ceasar either *chef’s kiss*
90 min wait for pick up and had to finish cooking it in my own oven. Prepare to wait an extra 20 minutes when you arrive. Overpriced, mediocre pizza made by understaffed and inexperienced pop up pizza purveyors.
Took my fiancé here to celebrate his birthday. Overall I enjoyed our experience, however I think its a little overpriced and service is just ok given the steep price (bill was around $250 with tip for 2 people). I feel like this directly competes with Cote and I feel that Cote is overall a better deal and experience.
Food was good. We went with the Boqueria Experience for two people. Worst thing was the paella, it was bland.THREE STARS IS FOR OUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE. The atmosphere and environment was loud, cramped, rushed. Sardines in a tin can .... Service is slow and they did not tend to us for long periods of time.
They tried their best but cold.
Very good Pizza, great flavor and the crust is perfect!
Love this guys. Delicious thin pizza. It’s a must try.
My second time here and it was even better than the first. In all fairness, it was coming on the heels of a pretty perfect day, but it def ended it on the right note! Highlights: great service and ahmazing food prepared well but without being fussy.
Wow the ambiance and the food made this a memorable meal in NY!We made a reservation due to our concerns with availability in covid. After traffic we were 20 mins late but they were very accommodating.

The Altadena is one of the best pizzas I have ever had! Definitely one of the best spots for pizza in the greater LA area. Also, try the salted chocolate chip cookies 🤤
Been waiting for months to try this pizza. Today was the 3rd day in their new brick & mortar location. My review? Lets just say I left one piece of pepperoni pizza in the box so I wouldnt have to say I crushed an entire pizza!!
The best pizza in town. In many towns. In all the towns.
Incredible pizza and vibe all around!!
The best overpriced pizza in Pasadena.
Overpriced and overrated. Pizza was 30 minutes later than we were told (50 minutes, so an hour and 20 minute wait total) and the crust was burnt and the taste was very dry.
Pepperoni pizza was awesome, well cooked and flavorful. Best pizza in Altadena.
Fantastic wood fired pizza - happy to pay more for the authentic Italian taste!
One of the few places where the pepperoni pizza is actually better than the margherita.
Straight-loving this pizza, ya’ll. Best in town. Crafted pie, finally!
Great food. Great people. Get the Wiseguy.
Good flavor but its over priced.
Great Pizza 🍕 and friendly employees
Best pizza in LA!

2022-01-23Let’s start with the positives. The staff is extremely nice. I like the type of pepperoni used in the pizzas.Onto the negatives. Wait time is long (about 1 hour). Pizza tastes mediocre. On the expensive side compared to most other pizza places. Our pizza was mega burnt but maybe it’s just one-off incident?

2021-09-26Moderately tasty, overpriced pizza with slow service. There are a lot better options than this place. We waited about 35 minutes for a single, large pepperoni pizza. Cost: $24.04. The pizza was edible, but Ive had better. Strangely, this place is only open Thursday to Sunday, from 4-9pm. Only take-out--no sit down service.

2022-03-12The best pizza in town! I’ve tried almost every flavor and they’re all good! My husband and I have made getting pizza from here a weekend ritual. The staff are so friendly and you can tell everything is made with quality ingredients and a lot of care. Give it a try, you won’t regret it! Our favorites are the Bobby Green and the Murph’s Green. They just added salads to the menu too, and the Pesto Caesar was so good!

2022-01-16Staff was nice and designs are cute... BUT we waited an hour a half for moderately pricey pizza THAT WAS VERY BURNT, all 3 of them. Which is interesting, because other reviews call it undercooked. The taste seems nice but it was hard to tell with the char on it. Sad because I really wanted it to be good since its so close to my place. Loved the staff but disappointed with the product.

2021-10-08Wow. so good, toppings were great without being overwhelming. the Kevin Lyman is the best cream based pizza Ive ever had. also had the limited run Wiseguy which delivered on the spicy warning, but definitely in a good way!

2022-01-032 stars because the staff is always friendly. The pizza is fair but sometimes its weirdly undercooked. Worst thing was our experience tonight -waited 55 minutes for our pizzas AFTER we arrived to pick them up and they were underwhelming to say the least. Twice they said it would be another 15 minutes , and they would call when ready since we waited in the car. They never did naturally. Got a refund and will not be back. I think there are other local places with consistently better pizza.

2022-05-07Hi so i’ve had Side Pie severaltimes now we always place large orders for film shoots and quite frankly the first time i crunched into that insane cracker true Italian crust i was blown away! It is made the true italian way not thick and doughy you can taste allthe flavors. It is exceptional pizza 🍕 and always we get rave reviews when weorder it for large groups and our groups are picky people and they love it.

2021-12-05Cute funky place. Pizza was good, but not at all satisfying. Its *paper* thin, which isnt my favorite but the flavor was great. However, for $24+, I would expect to be full after splitting a pizza with my partner. But after eating, I felt like I hadnt eaten anything at all. We both woke up in the middle of the night because our stomachs were growling so much! We were so excited to finally try this place, so it was pretty disappointing. Wont be ordering again.

2021-07-20I would give 3.5 stars.I personally think this place was a bit overpriced for the taste, honestly I wasnt the biggest fan. They had interesting and exciting ideas for the pizzas but some of them honestly fell short and the dough wasnt my favorite. I do think their service is good and all but I wouldnt see myself going back here.

2022-03-12There are many good pizzas between the two ‘denas: Pizza of Venice, U Street, Luggage Room, etc. Although all formidable pie shops, a new contender has hopped to the top of this suburban pizza mountain.Started as a backyard pandemic popup, Side Pie has graduated to permanent status with a small selection of wine and beers you can sip at their parking lot as piazza dining area in the alley behind the restaurant. If you order online you do need to pick a time, so some forethought is needed. Its not really an on-demand experience, as walking up requires a wait. Some things are worth waiting for, and Side Pie is one of those things.You will be greeted by an enthusiastic staff in a cool hat, Baz Lurhmann R&J shirt, or maybe some Blink merch. You will want to buy some of the merch that combines hiker-stoner vibes with moving company design and mystical aesthetics. Get one pizza per person, which is way too much but you’ll want leftovers. Reheats great in minutes the next day in the oven. Grab the wine option or beers and enjoy your wait in the back as the staff fires pie after pie, building up your anticipation. Listen to the kitchen, turn on a heater and chill.I’ve had all their pizzas, and all are masterclasses. Definitely don’t skip pepperoni, they get the good kind and it redeems all your prior pepperoni disappointments. We waited a quick 45 sipping wine, which isn’t a critique; its nice to be slowed down to enjoy something.The pizza was eaten so fast I hardly remember as it puts you in a manic carnal euphoria, where dairy, gluten, sauce and pork meld into a addictive manna. Its thin and burnt on the bottom (as pizza should be). The different items actually share many elements, but you appreciate each of the different combinations. The ricotta on the pepperoni pizza plays a different role than on the Kevin Lymans pizza, a white pizza, which is one of the great dimensions of Italian food; ingredients driven, simple prep.I was a U street loyalist, and they still make great pizza, but fresh Side Pie is transcendental. Like the name says, it’s not your main pie, not your go-to weeknight warrior spot. It’s your Side Pie, the special one you look forward too that gives you something other pizzas just don’t have. For some people pizza is not that kind of food, but Side Pie might change your mind.
