786 Degrees Pizza - Los Angeles

Pizzas are amazing. They have different sauces for different places in the world, wish we could try them all, but we just ordered 2. One was from India and the other one from Korea. The Korean was a bit sweet, but worth the try and the Indian one of course did the trick, a little spice to it and it definitely hit thw spot. Must try for any pizza lover and righr off the freeway too. Make sure you call it before to order at least 30mins... they get busy real quick.

My wife and I had a hankering for Saturday afternoon pizza, but wanted something new and different. The Sun Valley location is next to a park which would’ve been inviting except it was raining and would’ve been an epic failure if we took our pizzas out and it poured … We each decided to order our own. Note: Take the advice of the website and get there right at noon. Our place an order in advance on the website, …I could see that it would get pretty crowded and since they make everything fresh 15 minutes can really stretch out if patrons start getting wishy-washy on what to order... note, the pizzas are medium size and 1 could feed 2, but with all these choices, suggest go for 2 because you'll polish off more than you think (it's pizza! :) Mine came out first, so we started on that together. I chose Habibe. Basically ground lamb and beef mixture with Middle Eastern spices and very few white and green onions sprinkled throughout, . The drizzle could best be described as a garlic butter or buttery yogurt. The pizzas have a great appetizing presentation, and overall very flavorful with a tasty thin crust that held together and didn't sag what so ever. We Easily got through half of it ... stopped because we wanted to save room for the next one. The wife chose the El Chapo, Mexican chorizo pizza. Clever, title and tagline.. We asked for less spice because I don't do hot spice very well. I didn't get a picture of it. but it was a masterpiece of a pizza. I surprised myself that I ate as many slices as I did ... This one was more tomato based and had a slight crushed red pepper flavor. This pizza although also light on toppings, was huge on flavor... So in conclusion, my only "beef" with this pizza place is they are light on the toppings... but great on flavor ... I would've liked to see more vegetables or meats... but what they did have on there was good Quailty... I would say everybody should go here at least once to try it. I think you'll go back a second time.

Amazing little hole in the hall spot. Insane selection of pizza types from all over the world. The Habib is especially fantastic! All the crusts were perfectly crispy, and the pizza was light and delicious. Highly recommend!

Maria will treat you like family. Pizza is unique and delicious. We tried 3 different styles and all were delicious. Will definitely come back here.

I own a wood fired pizzeria myself in the UK and was recommended to try this place if ever in LA. Thankfully I got the chance recently and was not disappointed. The food and ingredients used as exceptional and the pizza is delicious, light and crispy just as a Romano style pizza should be! As well as the food I have to mention the service and the staff. Delightful. Helpful and knowledgeable. It was a lovely team and it was a pleasure to see such a beautiful synergy between them. We were served by Phoebe, Jennifer and Brandon and they deserve a mention for all their hard work and amazing service. The best pizza I’ve tried in a long time and I’m glad I was able to visit being a serious pizza pro I couldn’t fault it. Would 100% recommend. Great business with great ethics. Keep up the good work guys!

Food is always good af cant complain about that. The one thing I would say to the Indian chef, I think he was the one in charge is you should acknowledge people/potential costumers who walk in. I understand you’re busy, but a simple “we’ll be right with you” makes me not want to walk out. Felt a bit dumb just standing there. Other than not feeling welcomed by the chef, no complaints.

Tried the La Americana Pizza and it was absolutely delicious — crispy, flavorful, and just hits the spot. What really made my visit great though was Jennifer. She was so helpful and patient, took the time to explain everything, and gave great recommendations. Super friendly and made the whole experience even better.

Delicious pizza!! Super unique flavors and toppings, but they really know how to make a balanced pizza! Super helpful customer service too!

Everything was so exceptional, and Chef Mari assisted me with everything I said even though I was being a bit annoying lol but food is definitely worth is hype and I'm definitely coming back here, I love pizza and their service was A+ definitely hidden Gem in the Valley -Chef Avo

First time here and it was delicious Staff were great and the menu is going to be fun to explore on future visits.

Amazing pizzas, plenty of unique flavors. Loved the Guru and That's Amore pizzas. Great service by Jennifer and Brandon!

This place is no secret. It's very popular and has a ton of reviews from thousands, and probably millions of eaters. Had to try it out. The entrance is just through their parking lot, no frills. The sign out front explains it all. If you've had pizza but haven't had it here, you've gotta come here. The server, Oscar, made everything feel welcoming and invited us through the door. We came at a good time, in between the lunch and dinner rush. Being a sucker for indian food, I had to try the pizza that put them on the map, the tikka masala pizza. I will have dreams about this pizza. They do neapolitan style, 12 inch pies, with a woodfire oven. The tikka masala pizza was just immaculate. The sauce was savory but also had the gentle sweetness of tomatoes that you'd expect from tikka masala. I am honestly surprised that this wasn't solved by someone from NYC first. This pizza was so good, I had to try another pizza even though I was full. I had the habibi pizza. It was good, but it had a lot of white sauce, and felt too creamy with the pizza. However, the lamb wasn't gamey at all, and was melt in your mouth tender. I cannot stress enough, if you enjoy pizza, you have to come here and try their slices. Shout out to the homie Oscar, he was super accommodating and made the entire experience for me.

786 Degrees Pizzeria refers to the 786℉ temperature of the pizza oven made in Naples with lava rocks from Mt. Vesuvius which lies in the Campagna region. 786 prides itself in being part of the "Associazione di Pizzaiuoli Napoletani"/Association of Neopolitan Pizza Makers.  Very small interior with one table seating 4 & high top with 4 seats. Outdoor covered by an awning with plastic patio chairs, picnic table, stand up counter. Order online to pick up or order at a tablet-like order panel at the order counter.  Staff highly encourages customers to eat en site since cold pizza does not taste its best. All pizze here have a thin Neopolitan crust which is thick at the rim. Crust has a bit of a dry, leathery stretchiness. Touch sweet.  (Plural of pizza is pizze.) Ordered the Pizza Americana which has beef pepperoni slices, crumbly moist, fatty meaty ground mystery meat Chicago sausage, diced sweet, watery, roasted green bellpepper, diced red onion, brined, cured Kalamata olives.  Seems like a type of Pizza Bianca which means no tomato sauce. It has a stronger scent of oregano & thyme, but really couldn't discern the dry, flake parsley, tiny shred of basil, smoked salt as stated in the menu. The combined Mozzarella, Fontina, Parmesan cheeses left a feeling of sweet butter taste in my mouth, but there wasn't enough Mozzarella to make the lifted pizza slices leave a trail of "stringy" Mozzarella.  Overall, a good "dry" pizza since it isn't drowning in tomato sauce nor slathered with tons of cheese. Much thought went in to create a pizza that has balance & each ingredient complements each other. It doesn't go overboard by loading it up with possible clash of ingredients.  The paper lining under the pizza is also well thought out. It's corrugated cardboard that allows the bottom of the hot pizza to breath out moisture so the crust doesn't get soggy.  Would like to try the other various international flavours as suggested by friendly Chef Mari who came by to talk about... What else?  Pizza!   4- stars PS Thanks to a 786 Degrees aficionado for advising me on revising my review for better accuracy.

The Best Pizza by a long shot! The homie has been raving about this pizza spot for as long as I've told him my favorite food is pizza. So last week, Homegirl and the boys planned to eat at the critically acclaimed spot--a place with a reputation for having the "best-tasting pizza in the world!" And boy, did it not disappoint! I believe this was the most eye-opening spot in my pizza-eating journey and in my food-eating journey as a whole (disclaimer: I am biased towards pizza). Carlo made us feel very welcome at the small Sun Valley pizzeria. He explained that each pizza has its own origin story and is crafted and cooked in a custom-made stone oven. Ali, the owner/founder of 786 Degrees truly gave me that "ratatouille moment" with all of the carefully crafted artisan pizzas we tried that night; 5 pizzas between the 4 of us. 5 pizzas for some people may seem like a lot but it wasn't! Carlo explained that the fermenting process of the dough in their pizza is the key. If I remember correctly, they let the dough ferment for 2 days, making the pizza crust lightweight and easy to digest; not like other pizzas that can fill you up after a couple of slices sometimes. As a big eater, believe me when I say I could probably kill 3 pizzas on my own (maybe for another day). The pizzas we tried that night were the: Fungi Lama, Pepperoni BumbleBee Sting, Bombay Tikka Masala, Napolitana Margherita, and Bulgogi Gangnam Style, in that order. The Fungi Lama and Napolitana Marcherita were the most refreshing ones in my opinion. Fresh ingredients and super lightweight. The Bombay Tikka Masala was the most flavorful pizza and the winner of the best-tasting pizza in the world. The Pepperoni BumbleBee Sting was an amazing spicy and sweet surprise and an underrated choice off the menu; don't be scared of the indicated spice level. Last but not least, we ended the night with the Bulgogi Gangnam Style which was the most protein-packed of the 5 we had the savory sensation was the best way to end the night. Complements to the Chef and his staff! I'm already making plans to come back for more!

We were recommended this pizza by a friend who enjoys it. For us, the pizza crust was crisp and thin which we liked. We tried the tiki masala pizza and fungi truffle pizza. We felt the tiki pizza was sweet but didn't have the spices and flavor when we think of tiki masala. The fungi truffle pizza for us was a little bland, didn't get much flavor from the ingredients. The mushrooms tasted like can mushrooms.

We ordered carry out and are very happy with that decision. The place is small, but very cozy/intimate. The staff were very friendly and helpful in talking through their items and options. Even with a 30-minute drive the pizzas were still very warm and crisp when we got home. I have never had any pizza flavors like these before and I am with what we got. We picked two, the Kieran Bulgogi and the Tikka masala. The pizzas were big enough to provide us with several meals, but not so large you felt stuck with them. One of the boxes came with reheating instructions that allowed us to get a good crisp during the reheating process, though not as crisp as the initial order. Overall, super happy with this place, the quality, staff, and options. 10/10 we will definitely be back to try the others!

AMAZING pizza! I saw all the great reviews, and had to try this spot out! It's a cute, little restaurant on the corner. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Absolutely phenomenal service! 10/10 I loved my pizza! I got the "that's amore" pizza and it was delicious. I enjoyed the pesto sauce and all the cheese. The crust was great and I ordered extra cheese. 10/10 My husband ordered the "BULGOGI Gangnam Style" pizza. He said it was one of the best pizzas he's ever had! The apple and pear on this pizza were a real treat. The flavors mesh well together to create a masterpiece! 10/10 I wish we lived closer to try this pizza place again! I'd love to sample all the flavors. If you live nearby, make sure you drop in and grab one of their pizzas!

I've been to Sapori di 786 Degrees in Pasadena many times and it's my all time favorite pizza spot! My husband and I were in the area and I heard that this spot has the same owner and menu so we knew we had to stop by! We ordered my 2 favorite pizzas from the other location: the bumblebee sting and the Bombay tikka masala. Although the pizzas here were enjoyable, they didn't hit the same way as they did at the other location; the dough here seemed less fluffy and a little over cooked, they seemed like they skimped more on toppings, and I feel like the sauce ratio wasn't right. My expectations coming in were high and I was expecting the pizza to be like it was at the other location, so I left a bit disappointed. With that being said, they're still good pizzas. One thing that I will say is consistent between both locations is the service. Service here is exceptional and they truly make you feel welcome. They also provide drinks on the house as well. The store itself is on the smaller end, but there is some indoor and outdoor seating. There is also a parking lot with a decent amount of parking.

Gave it another try and was much happier this time around. The pizza was fresh and delicious I appreciate the unique flavor combos. My all time favorite is the funghi pizza!! Easy to place an online order and pick up at the restaurant.

The service as soon as we walked in was immaculate! Staff is friendly, kind, knowledgeable and energetically passionate about the pizzas! The whole story and uniqueness of each dish was so eye catching and intriguing. Hospitality again is incomparable and unmatched! Thanks to Brandon, Jenny, and especially Chef Mari for making it feel like home and making every dish with precise love and care that we can actually taste! We had the Indian tiki masala and the moroccan pizza and OMGGG soooo delicious! Each had its own unique flavors that blend soooo well together! We are definitely coming back to try and taste new countries aka flavors lol.

I love pizza! It's a comfort food for all. One bite is an experience. Should be an experience. It could be awesome or it could be horrible. Eating pizza must be enjoyable even when it's scorching hot. It should connect to your soul and its elements in your taste buds. The aroma should be enticing, getting you prepared for a ride of your life. I went to Naples, Italy a few weeks ago and had the tastiest Neapolitan pizza. Coming back made me miss the party in my mouth sort a thing. A few places were solid like Pizzeria Sei in LA and Magma Pizzeria in Moorpark. Both were wood fire cooked in a bricked pizza oven. I heard about this place from a friend and the numerical name and specially the location got my attention indeed! It was my day off and I won't let this day pass without coming here. Opened the door and was greeted by Carlo. Very friendly fellow who's working on a pizza dough. Inside was simple. Nothing bougie. It was my first time so before diving in to their other unique kinds of pizzas, I want something simple - Frankie's One Bite (Dave Portnoy). I was excited but at the same time I do not want to overhype it. I saw Oly worked on her magic behind the counter and in less than 20 minutes, my pizza was ready. Like what I always do on every "first time" is to empty my pockets of experiences and expectations. Zeroing out the playing field. One bite and I was floored! No BS! Pizza was crispy, the sauce was spectacular, tangy and savory. The cheese was creamy and it has the perfect smokey mild flavor. The dough was perfect! It's slight charred and smokey. There's a wonderful balance of crispiness and chewiness. The fresh basil was the highlight. It was so fresh and sweet. It was delightful! The experience was one of a kind. I can't wait to try their other specialty pizzas. My new benchmark!

Hands down best pizza in LA Small joint Great service Quality ingredients Reasonable prices My husband and I absolutely love this place ! Honestly the best pizza in LA !! You have to come and try something different everytime to find what's your absolute fav ! Flavors you won't find anywhere else ! Highly recommend

Stopped by around 2:30 pm on a Saturday, a friend recommended this place to us. First off, phenomenal service. Friendly, helpful servers and free drinks for first time visitors. We got the Bombay Tikka Masala and That's Amore Pizzas. Super yummy! Only downside is the place is relatively small and there is no public restroom, but plenty of street parking. Can't wait to come back!

I don't get the hype? The pizza was mediocre. They only have one size option, with baby slices. Eh, I don't think I'll revisit to try other pizza options

This place is truly an eye-opener, to see all the possibilities of toppings that could go on a pizza. The dough is thin crusted and can be ready in just a few minutes. All the pizzas we ordered were really tasty.

All I'm going to say is...they have a banner regarding their reviews and recognition, very much deserved. Their service is very much welcoming, cozy environment although not much room for many people if you're planning to eat inside, nonetheless I enjoyed it. That Tikka Masala is worth every penny.

I was starving for food and my friend told me to get a pizza. I picked up Bombay Tikka Masala pizza. It well worth the price. Move over Blaze because this had to be the best tasting pizza I've had all year. These are not your typical pizzas. They take food from other cultures and place it on a pizza dish. The Bombay Tikka Masala tasted exactly like Tikka Masala. The first bite I had my eyes rolled to the back of my head it was that good. I was sad when I was on the last slice. I'd come back here with friends and family to try other pizza flavors. It a small place with dining both inside and out.

I love the crust!!! Flavors was excellent. It's even better than how I remembered it when I first tried their pies. What's unique as well is after I eat 786 degrees, i don't feel sick of pizza. I don't feel an incredible urge to punctuate my meal with a bottle of coke. Kudos to Jennifer and Brandon for providing a exceptional customer service on this rainy night.

First time trying this restaurant. Let me begin with the customer service..it was 10/10. Everyone that worked here was extremely nice and took time to explain the different kinds of pizzas they offer. The pizzas had tons of great flavors that blended well together. The crust was also crispy but not burnt, the perfect crust. I highly recommend both pizzas and will be coming by to try the bulgogi Gangnam style one. It's definitely my new favorite pizza restaurant. Looking forward to coming back.

If you're looking for the ultimate pizza experience, look no further! I just stopped by this place, and WOW - everything was perfect from start to finish.

The food and service was amazing me and my daughter had the margherita and ny style pizza 10/10 !

I was intrigue with the high rating and decided to drop by and try it, and im glad i did, The staff are friendly, Carlos assisted me with my order and made recommendations, I got the Thats Amore, highly recommended for Vegetarians and the Bumble Bee Sting for people who loves spicy and meat. The dough is thin which i love in my pizza but very flavorful.

This pizza place is amazing! The pizzas had a lot of great flavors, that blended well together. Great service by Jenny, Brandon's and Chef Mari. It's definitely my new favorite pizza restaurant!

This has been one of my favorite pizza spots for years! The pizza is always cooked to perfection and the customer service is impeccable. Even if I order takeout pizzas (yes i order more than one box), they usually stay warm on my commute back home and if they don't, there are instructions on how to re-heat it on the box! I would highly recommend 786 degrees if you're in Sun Valley or in the SFV in general and want a nice cozy spot to grab some pizza.

Amazing and unique pizza with excellent, kind service!! Have never had a pizza place like this before

Had their Bombay Tikka pizza and it was excellent. Can't wait to come back and try some of the other flavors. Also their staff is super sweet and knowledgeable. Overall a great experience.

Amazing amazing pizza! Wow. Probably the best pizza I have ever had. Customer service was absolutely great as well. I will definitely be coming back!!!

You're not gonna want to share!! Pizza is amazing. The service is outstanding Carlos was so nice. Treated me to a drink and made sure I taste a slide the second it comes out the oven. My fave is the tikka Masala

Excellent Pizza! Love that they base their choices on different countries. We got the Bumblebee and Bombay Tikka Masala pies. Both were great. The flavors are so unique! The dough tastes really good and the crust is crispy and fluffy at the same time. I was able to eat a whole pizza and did not feel overly full. Everything is halal. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking is limited in the plaza but plenty on the streets by the park. Unfortunately no public restrooms. Sometimes has a wait time. Overall a great place for pizza. If it wasn't so far from where I live, this would be my go to for sure!

Tucked away in Sun Valley is this magnificent pizza place. As soon as you walk in you feel the heat of the oven and thry make your pizza right in front of your eyes. The style is neapolitan with a twist, the dough is great like all neapolitan pizza should be but they toppings are what set it apart. From the Tikka masala pizza to the Sultan you have a wide variety of flavors and there hasn't been a bad choice yet. The staff here is also very friendly.

I was going to Pete's donuts for a quick snack but as soon as I got out of the car, I could smell delicious things happening in 786°! I looked up information online first to see if it was worth going in. It most definitely was & not just for the pizza!! I was eagerly greeted by a young, exuberant and very knowledgeable, 11 year-old named Ghazi. He asked my name once and remembered it my entire time there (very difficult for most)!!! The restaurant is very small, and can only seat about six people max! But they do have an outside area. My pizza (bbq n beef) was delicious!!! Im not a thin pizza fan but their crust is amazing & well worth it! A bit pricey though but the experience and excellent customer service was worth it!!!

My New Favorite Pizza Spot Seriously, how have I never been here before!?! I have been on the hunt for some good local pizza and I stumbled upon 786 Degrees. With so many options it was tough picking, but Oscar helped us. He was very knowledgeable on the menu and very accommodating. We tried the Fungi Lama and the Margarita which were DELICIOUS. Hands down one of the best pizzas in the valley. Both had rich sauces that balanced perfectly with the toppings. This will definitely be THE Pizza Spot from now on. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.

Our friend took us to 786 Degrees after a busy day without having eaten to try their unique pizzas. He had talked up this place so much, and for good reason! Everything we tried on the menu tasted great! Although the pizzas are all one size, we found that one pizza could be enough for two people. However, it might be hard to narrow down the selections, so good luck! hehe A female employee gave us a 'tour' of the menu, which helped us to narrow down our choices. The different menu items have inspirations from different places in the world. We tried the El Chapo, Amore, Ararat, Bulgogi, Shrimp Tuscany, La Americana, and Margherita pizzas, and we were extremely impressed with all of them. If you check in on Yelp, you'll be able to get a free water or soft drink with your purchase of a pizza. I highly recommend giving this place a try. I can't wait to go back and I'll definitely be bringing other friends too!

Great pizza and fantastic service. I've been coming here for years and I hope they keep thriving. The service has always been great, they're all friendly people that will even offer you a free drink if you're a new customer. I personally love the pizza but this isn't pizza hut or dominos so bear that in mind when you try out their pizza. Traditional thick crust cardboard pizza isn't sold here, it's artisan Napoli style pizza and typically the pies deviate from the traditional pepperoni and cheese. Just have an open mind and you'll enjoy some great pizza.

Great pizza and even more amazing staff and customer service!! Really love this small pizzeria doing some fun concepts with various country flavors

Best dentist I have been to really friendly. Doctor Alexi very personal,on time, will keep coming for many years

First timers to 786, we've passed by it so many times, we stopped in and Chef Mari welcomed us and politely explained the menu To us for next time. Also Thanks To Brandon for preparing the pizza. We got the Napolitana Marc

Best pizza in the world I'm almost sure. And yes I've been to NY. Makes you want to come back and ask for whats next

786 Degrees Pizza is hands-down the BEST pizza I've ever had! The crust is crispy perfection, and the flavors are out of this world. Shoutout Oscar!!!

Stumbled onto this by accident. And what a nice accident! Tried 4 pizzas and they were great. I'd say the Napoleon was my favorite, then their equivalent of a BBQ chicken pizza. Surprisingly their award winning pizzas were my least favorite (Bulgogi). They were all great, but I'm looking forward to coming back and eventually trying their entire menu! Service was great - the chefs are so nice and welcoming! It's a small spot. They encourage you to eat there but space is limited. I ate the leftovers at home and still enjoyed myself. So I would recommend take out!

First time there . it was good and light purposely ordered the stuff that is different then typical pizzas I order overall it was good and unique

We tried 3 different pizzas and each was delicious! We can't wait to go back to try some more. The team was very friendly and helpful in selecting pizzas. If you are looking for a unique pizza experience this is a great choice. We didn't get a picture because we ate them so fast.

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! My husband and I just happened to be driving by and we decided on a whim to pop in! We were greeted by a very charming Carlos, who walked us through how the pizzas are meant to take you on an international journey. The question of the day: "where would you like to travel to today?" My husband and I chose to go to France via the Fungi Lama. The place is cozy, simple. Little touches that scream "authentic." While apprehensive when we first saw the pizza, with the first bite, we fell in love. Immediately you're greeted by the creaminess of the cheese and the saltiness of the truffle oil! The pizza was gone within minutes. We even swapped slices with a nice man sitting at the same table with us. An amazing experience from start to finish! Don't ignore the Korean BBQ one! That one was pretty bomb too! Thanks for sharing, Chris!

Man this place does NOT disappoint. The pizza flavors and quality of crunch when you bite in is not a top notch. They really believe in and love what they do. Great service!

If you are ready to try something different and exciting and not the usual pizza from around the corner this is the place to go! They are super friendly and always have great suggestions! As they said " each pizza teleports you around the world to their own city/country. The Bombay Tikka Masala pizza will take you to India The Fungi Lama and Shrimp Tuscany takes you to Italy I was going back and forth in two different countries with each slice I would grab! Haha :) When I was picking it up he asked me is it your first time here? Grab a drink on us! It's a small gesture but sweet! Pricing is fare for such a flavorful pizza

Good pizza but it's on the pricey side. The ingredients are quality.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We came in a group of 3 for a late lunch and had a wonderful time! We ordered an Istanbul, a Guru and a Honey, I'm Home and it was delicious. The pizzas were brought out one at a time, from mildest flavor to fullest flavor and that made the experience really special and allowed us to enjoy each pizza the fullest! Our pizzas were made by two chefs in training and they did a really wonderful job. Also the customer service was really sweet, informative, and welcoming. Highly recommend!
