Bub and Grandma’s Pizza

Helllsss yuuuusssss 🔥

NY style, but sourdough with some whole grains. Sauce is tangy, slightly sweet. Been open only for a few days as I write, so they're extra busy. Might want to delay visiting if you don't want a wait. This pie doesn't need 1" of cheese and little league parlor toppings. And it's nice to see a new spot not serving 10" tiny pizza for over twenty bucks. Really looking forward to the dining room. Don't skip the other dishes or deserts either. If you want pineapple or any other abomination on your pizza, there's a million other cheap or franchise spots that will gladly soil their basic mid-pies just for you.

We were excited to try this spot since we love Bub & Grams, but unfortunately there were a lot of technical issues that made the experience disappointing. We came just for slices, so I figured it would be quick. Instead, they estimated a 30-40 minute wait, which is already tough when you have a two-year-old. They told us to walk around and wait for a text when our order was ready. After 30 minutes with no text, we went back to the window and discovered our slices had been sitting there ready--apparently they were calling names instead of texting. By that point, the pizza was cold and the bottoms were burned to a crisp, making large parts inedible. Ironically, we finally got the text saying our slices were ready about an hour after we had originally ordered, while we were already driving home. Hopefully these are just opening-week hiccups, but it was a pretty rough first impression. For now, we'll stick with our other neighborhood spot.

Bub & Grandma's bread is all the rage and now their pizza is too. I stopped by during the soft opening and there was a line of hungry customers waiting to try their delectable NY Style pies. You can order an 18" whole or get a slice. Salad, garlic knots, wings, desserts, & other tasty bites are available too. I ordered a cheese and On the Fly - a specialty slice with pesto, fresh tomatoes, and dollops of vegan cream cheese. As expected, the sourdough crust was fantastic! Crispy with a nice chew and a light char on the bottom. The cheese pizza was exceptionally good. I could taste the fresh Mozzarella. I also really liked the On the Fly. It had a nice flavor. Bub and Grandma's pizzeria is definitely a welcome addition to the neighborhood.

It hurts to leave this review because Bubs (Eagle Rock / Glassell) is literally one of my favorite places to frequent weekly, so when I stopped by the pie shop on a Thursday afternoon with my daughter (and no line), it was disheartening to order a slice and be told it was going to take 30 minutes at minimum. I think it's inexcusable to have just opened, have slices on display, no one ordering, yet have a 30 minute wait. What's the point? It really sucks because Bubs is the best. I'd feel differently if there was an attempt of an attempt to remedy besides, "Ya sorry." *wish I could record the tone. "We have orders in front of you." Again, tone... bad first experience and not a good look. Lastly, this isn't NYC but imagine walking up to a full display and saying lemme get a slice with the response being, ya in 30 minutes lol

It's fine. I expected more from the name and the hype. Sauce is the star. Crust doesn't know what it wants to be - thin and crispy or thicker and chewy. It's sort of a hybrid. Overpriced and underwhelming but I'll keep supporting Bubs. I'm a long term fan and love what they bring to the neighborhood. Give it sixth months and come back.

Seeing a new place with a long line seemed like it had a lot of potential. My brother and I ordered each 1 slice only to have to wait 30 minutes for a slice that when we received it was already cold. Flavor wise it tasted like your generic pizza, nothing to really scream out unique

No pineapple option for toppings. Get outta here. Also, why are they charging so much for such basic tasting pizzas?

Good crust. Sauce toppings delicious. The chopped salad is super tasty. Grab a beer next door if there's a wait since they just opened and have a line around the block. Shout out Esteban!
