525 Pizza

I was in town for a wedding and ended up eating at 525 Pizza for three days straight — that’s how addicted I got 🤣. I tried their Sunnyside Up pizza (it has an Armenian name I couldn’t remember, but WOW), their lamajoon, and their chicken & combo pizza. Every single thing was on point — fresh, flavorful, and honestly better than most spots back home. I dined in twice and had delivery once, and the quality was consistently amazing. The flavors were legit, the crust was perfect, and everything came out hot and delicious whether I was eating in or having it brought to the Airbnb. If you’re anywhere near this place, don’t think twice — go. 525 Pizza definitely earned a spot on my “must-return” list.

Without a doubt. The best white sauce pizza. I have ever had! Fresh dough, fresh toppings. All made from scratch. Well worth extra drive. No matter which way you are going! Full menu. At a great price. Try it! You won't be disappointed!

Amazing staff and amazing food! The prices are reasonable. I personally always get the personal pizza which is very filling! Fresh ingredients! Their stuffed potatoes are spectacular! I really do recommend this place even though the area it is in is not on the good side.

We walked into this place a bit early for lunch, so we decided to try out the pizza anyway. No regrets! Pizza was support tasty; the crust was nice without being hard. The garlic bread was not my favorite but my son liked it very much. The service was good and the man making the pizza was quick and very nice to us. This is certainly a place we will return to for a pie. They also have a few other items on the menú, like hummus and the mediterrean pizza 🍕 that looked quite interesting.

This is not worth $20 and it was so burnt I couldn't even eat it so I try to pick the cheese off and eat that but there was little to none.. I can't recommend this place and I won't be back

I walked in for my first time tonight. I've lived up the street for years. I see 525 Pizza all the time. Scared to try. I'm glad I conquered my fears. The crust was perfect. Sauce great. The sauce did not over power the flavors. Crunchy bottom. Soft on top. The flavors came together very well. The owner said this would be my new pizza place. We'll he is right. Next time I will try the Funky Chicken.

It had been a bit since I had this pizza but I must say, I am so sorry I have been missing out! I ordered a XL MVP (it is 18", same size as Costco) and let me tell you, they did not skimp on the toppings and it was not greasy at all. The ordering process was simply. The pizza was done quickly. The pizza was fresh with the perfect taste. The crust was crispy and the toppings were fresh and crisp, even after cooking. The place was very clean. The gentleman at the register was great. I called a couple times before I ordered and he was able to answer my questions. If you like the valley "favorite" you will love this. The pizza tasted better and they had a way better price for the size I got. I will definitely be going back a lot. I forgot about this hidden gem. If you read my other reviews, I have great taste when it comes to food so trust this place is fantastic! The parking lot seemed small online but when I got there, there was ample parking. They take cash and cards. They had a small selection of sodas, I did not notice if they had beer. The menu is diverse as well, there is a lot to try out.

Love the pizza! Beats just about any local pizza places. Prices are more than fair. Great customer service!

I like going in during lunch while I'm doing laundry to get the lunch special. It doesn't take too long and it's not bad for a personal pizza and a drink.

Pizza is a good bang for your buck. Express service, great customer service on the phone. Pizza was same with love and you can taste it!

Nestled in a small plaza, my family and I found ourselves craving pizza and luckily for us, I believe we found a hidden gem. A nice surprise is that they serve Armenian pizza! We don't get to treat ourselves with this dish very often as we would like unless we are in Los Angeles, but to discover it here in Fresno is like hitting the jackpot! We absolutely loved the pizzas we had, which were actually made with different crusts. Stuffed crust. Cheesy garlic bread, spicy ranch sauce, so much good stuff. The restaurant is very clean, we dined inside and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. It felt as if we were visiting an old friend and enjoying their cooking. It is not loud, very chill. We loved the vibes and will definitely come back again soon. Thank you for the wonderful customer service and tasty food. This place didn't miss a beat!

Pizza Parlor is located in a little plaza with shared parking. When we arrived staff were all friendly and welcoming! Good size restaurant for family friendly dining. Family and I enjoyed our meals. We tried the the Armenian Pizza, Funky chicken, Stuffed crust Athena, and cheesy bread sticks. Loved all pizzas, delicious and flavorful! Definitely the best pizza and will return!

Great service, tasty food and clean restrooms. We had their Armenian pizzas (a def. must try!) Small personal size, minced meat with seasonings, (sooo good!) Funky Chicken pizza: perfect thickness, crunchy, flaky, seasoned crust topped with delicious chicken, mushrooms with white garlic sauce, green onions and roasted garlic. My go-to! Thumbs up! Cheesy Garlic bread: very cheesy and hot! Athena cheese-filled crust pizza: a new one for me, feta cheese, tomatoes, olives and bits of bacon, mmm soo good tasty! If you're in Fresno you have to stop by!

Favorite local pizza! The owners are super kind and I feel like the price is worth what you're getting. High quality pizza

The pizza and price were amazing!!! We got one regular crust and one thick crust. I am a thick crust guy, but I may have loved their regular crust better?!? It was like Me and Ed's but way better. I will try the stuffed crust next time.

Great service, delicious food and good prices. Second time ordering and new favorite spot.

The crust was thin and crispy, just how I like it. Toppings were generous and full of flavor. Simple, tasty, and satisfying.,

This is a local mom and pop pizzeria. They have a variety of pizzas at a good price point. But what's really amazing is that most of them have an artesian taste. On my order this time I ordered the funky chicken pizza which normally is highly requested. However, the pizza was done quickly but when I finally took a bite, it tasted like the chicken was spoiled. This was quite the change from my first time eating here. I decided not to finish the pizza. One thing I did notice which was interesting. And they offer beef pepperoni for those who don't eat pork.

Fantastic and dare to say best pizza in town! Wanted to try a new pizza place and this is one I had been wanting to try for a hot minute. Well it was simply amazing. Got the pizza through door dash so not sure how the store or service is but the pizza was so good. If your familiar with Me and Eds it was close to that but better cause the crust was crunchy and the sauce was very good. You can really tell this was brick oven made and the toppings were fresh. Got a pep, olive, and mushroom was very pleased with this and really look forward to trying the other toppings they offer. I highly recommend this place for your pizza needs.

525 pizza is 5 stars! Good service, and good pizza! Forgot to take a picture of my pizza. My wife and I got a medium 1/2 funky chicken for me and her half was hawaiana. We are both satisfied!

Amazing pizza , great customer service . Best in Fresno . Pizza has a great chassis and delicious toppings . If ever in Fresno it's a must

Very delicious . I'll order more. Ajarakan is my first choice. Everything is fresh and delicious. I recommend. 10 out of 10.

From Scratch everything, you can taste the organic flavors! Really enjoyed there Pepperoni Pizza and ordered me the Large Pizza 2 toppings Garlic Bread and I didn't want my food to end. Loved it here and do recommend! Service was on point and they all had smiles on there faces! Armenian Pizza (Lahmajoon) was flavorful.

Waited easily over 30 minutes for a medium one topping pizza, no one else was in to order before nor after me, had no sign on the fountain drinks that ice was out nor a verbal acknowledgment when I asked to purchase 2 fountain drinks. It's hot & something as a simple acknowledgment would have went a long way

The food was AMAZING! We got a pizza & it was wonderful! We also got the LAMAJOONS ( Armenian pizzas ) They were OFF THE CHART FLAVORFUL GOODNESS!!! We will definitely order from here again!

Great service and very find owners! Pizza is delicious with fresh ingredients, made to order!

One of our favorite pizza spots to order pick up and delivery. Service is always good and the topping options are what keep us coming back. It's a gem

This review is long overdue. We've been coming here for the past 3 years and have no complaints. The pizza is always great and customer service is always so friendly. We never order from other pizza spots as this place is always first choice. They're very generous with toppings/cheese and their crust is personally my favorite. Give this place a try and you will not regret it. :)

Came to this spot for the 'za and stayed for the khachapuri! Great little spot for to-go and dine-in pizza of different varieties. Tucked away at the back of the plaza, it can be hard to spot at first. It boasts delicious crust and dough (super critical for me) and plenty of meat/veggies on the pies. They have a couple different varieties as well, including delicious lahmajoon (Armenian style flatbread pizza) and khachapuri (pizza sunny side up with an egg). Both are fantastic here! This is a must-spot place for me on my visits to the central valley

Crust had a good taste and it was thin and crispy - but the pizza overall really had no flavor, no seasoning. Maybe if you were to order a pizza with couple of toppings it might get some flavor.

Great price for their large pepperoni Pizza, friendly staff. Didn't have to wait too long either.

Great Pizza! we loved it. we came after we seen the reviews and man it is delicious. Glad we came!

Wow wow wow wow this place was absolutely fantastic!!! We tried half the menu our first time here. The egg boat BOMB The Armenian pizza BOMB (we asked them to add cheese on top, OMG ) first bite took me back home to Armenia The pizza BOMB crispy yet fluffy I'm sooo overjoyed to have found this place. I used to have to travel to LA to get egg boats and Armenian pizza, but these are even better than what we have down there! Can't wait to eat here again and again and again ...

Walked in. Workers greeted and were welcoming. The order was ready. The workers gave thanks and well wishes. The restaurant is safe and clean. The pizza smelled really delicious! Lunchtime! I got everything set up! The stuffed crust pizza was wow! Amazingly deliciousness!!! Fresh veggies and cheesy stuffed crust! Great service and delicious stuffed crust pizza! They deserve every star! Highly recommended!

Some of the most delicious pizza I've ever had. Usually pizza crusts are bland and mere delivery vehicles for the toppings but their crust has decent flavor. I also enjoyed their ranch because I can't fully enjoy pizza without a generous side of ranch.

We have recently enjoyed a couple of pizzas and a couple of salads from 525 Pizza. The name is a salute to their oven temperature. Besides the food, another pleasant aspect is the friendly & accommodating staff. The pizza crust is thin & will come out crisp on request. The meats & 'shrooms all seem to be sliced thinner than most pizza joints, but they cover the dough generously which makes each bite include most of the flavors. The Antipasto salad is very good; fresh iceberg lettuce with meats, cheese, tomato & onion. We're very glad to have this restaurant nearby.

Their pizza is a nice change from the usual. And the owner was super kind. Please try their stuffed crust, is super cheesy.

It's nice that it seems family owned and they were doing some really cool decorations but the pizza is really nothing to write home about skip it and go to Mama Mia's on. Olive Street in Tower District,

This place tastes how Me and Ed's used to taste before. Order this before you place your order for Me and Ed's I highly recommend it you won't be disappointed.

This pizza was different and oh so good! We decided to try the Funky Chicken pizza since we were in the mood for something different. It didn't have as much chicken as we would have liked, and quite a bit of roasted garlic (maybe balance those 2 a little more), but the overall taste was a hit! The crust was like no other. Airy, light, but still a chewy dough. The chocolate chip cookie pizza was also really good.

We ordered the funky chicken pizza and cheese garlic bread. The pizza and appetizer lahmajun was PERFECT!!! Everything was DELICIOUS! I'm going to be coming back here on my cheat days because it's totally worth it! No.1 guilty pleasure for sure! P.s (sorry I only got pics of the appetizer because the PIZZA WAS SO GOOD IT DIDNOT SURVIVE FOR TOO LONG! )

Finally had to leave a review, been ordering 525 for awhile now and every time I've ordered, it comes fresh and fast. My son doesn't really care for pizza but he absolutely loves 525. Toppings always taste fresh and don't forget the ranch! Their ranch is on par with Me n Ed's ranch. I actually prefer 525 to Me n Ed's now because of their fresh toppings and they are consistent. You guys are always on point seriously have nothing but good things to say Just finally giving my review and appreciation for your establishment. Keep up the phenomenal work!

Fresh ingredients and great tasting dough and sauce. Only thing I would like more is the pizzas be cooked a little longer. I've ordered from them 3 times, and twice it was a little doughy for my taste. It wasn't underdone, but I like my pizzas crispy and the cheese super melty. Still much better than Me N Ed's or Lela's, imo.

Delicious! We had the Armenian Pizza and the Cheeseburger Pizza. Delicious flavors and nice light texture on the crust. I have had 'cheeseburger' type pizza before, but this one was the BEST! Flavors blended perfectly - nothing was overpowering nor was it overloaded, so a nice flavor came through. We couldn't stop eating either pizza and left full and happy!

Super doughy pizza. Not very flavorful. One of the worst slices of pizza I've ever had. You'd be better off buying a digorno frozen pie, which I'd say is better than this place (sad). Fresno pizza is just very lack luster.

I know of this place because it's next to the laundry mat I go to so I have been here often now. I LOVE this pizza. It's super delicious and authentic. It is my favorite pizza spot! They have not disappointed me not once. Cheese bread is so good and the pizza is even better! If you're thinking about going here don't hesitate. Prices are so reasonable too! You won't regret it!

So good! I love their Armenian pizzas and the hummus is killer! The crust is reminiscent of Me&Ed's but the overall pizza is different and delicious! Delivery can be pricey if you go through grub hub or Uber eats but if you don't mind picking up I'd say it's worth every penny! Really cute little pizza parlor if you do make it in... they have a couple of games and a few candy/toy coin machines. Very clean and nice!

First time ordering from here. This is a really good pizza, crust, toppings, yum! Will definitely order from here again

Great food, great friendly service! My friend and I went for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. The restaurant is very small with only a few tables. So it's not ideal for a large party of people, but for a lunch date or a quick bite with friends, it suits just fine. The owners were there and made sure my friend and I were doing well throughout our meal. We both got the lunch special which was a small pizza with up to 3 toppings (you can add more for an additional fee) and a soda for $8.95. The crust is similar to Me & Eds, if you are familiar with that and the topping portions were perfect. They have other food offerings as well. I would definitely recommend!

Heard about this gem from a good blogger and had to try it...delicious is an understatement, the pizza was perfectly cooked and the crust was incredible. Definitely going back to try the breakfast pizza and the Armenian pizza. The Guy told me it would be ready in 15 minutes and it was!! Thanks for the great pie guys, see you again real soon

Yes I recommend this place love the food, the service is excellent nice people own the place.

Their pizza is great. I wasn't sure about this place at first. But this will be one of my go-to pizza places to hit up from now on. I highly recommend trying the ajarski/khachapuri. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality of their food.

Just picked up an order and brought it home for the first time. A couple small pizzas and a Lahmajoun. The Lahmajoun was some of the best I've ever had (Armenian dude here) and I'll be coming back for that. Pepperoni pizza was okay, but the crust on the combination we got was partially raw. You can tell that someone here probably used to work at Me 'n Ed's and did their best to copy their signature layered crust. This is fine, but I'm guessing it's a bit more difficult to cook thoroughly when you have a lot of toppings unless you have the oven/timing just right. In any case, too bad. Also, I asked for "small" pizzas, which were $8 each... didn't expect to get what were more like "personal" size 8" ones. I expected more food for that price. If it were *really good* pizza, I wouldn't mind paying more, but even if the crust were cooked thoroughly, it wasn't anything to write home about. Sorry.

I tried several items off the menu, I was highly recommended by friends. Great customer service and very pleasant. Kids loved the cheese pizza and there pepperoni selection was out of this world! I love it very low lighting and chill inside.

Great pizza spot! Glad we found this place. Great flavors! The crust is a little different than traditional pizza crust, but I think that's what I liked the most !

Looks like we have a new favorite pizza place near home! I picked up a takeout pizza from 5 to 5 a few days ago. We got the extra large MVP, which it's basically a really good combination with fresh Bell peppers, mushrooms, sausage, beef, pepperoni, and probably some other thing I'm not remembering right now. Really delicious, great price, locally owned, and nearby. What's not to love? We also ordered the garden salad, which was more than enough for two people. We recommend you give this place a try... I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. I'm pretty sure that MVP will be our standby, but I also saw that they have an Armenian pizza, lamahjoon (sp??)and I'm pretty sure we're going to have to try that too next time.
