Dino's Pizza

"The Valley has plenty of old-school pizzerias with devoted followings and fans who bicker over which is best. We're loyal to Dino’s. With over 38 specialty pizzas, the menu at this Burbank classic can feel a bit overwhelming, so we’ll narrow it down: get the lasagna pizza topped with Italian sausage, meatballs, and whipped ricotta. It’s a pizza that could easily be messy, but the expert placement of toppings and a crispy, medium-thick crust keeps it all in harmony. Dino’s runs a swift takeout operation, but make time to eat in their kitschy dining room that feels like a sunroom at someone's grandparents' fishing cabin." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins

"Who makes the best pizza in the Valley? Dino's is in the conversation. You've probably eaten these pies on the lot without realizing their source and thought, "Hmm, this sure is good pizza" before returning to your task. With over 38 specialty pies available, Dino's menu can feel like the Wild West, so we’ll narrow it down for you: get the lasagna pizza. Topped with Italian sausage, meatballs, and whipped ricotta, the pizza sounds messy. It's not. Between the expert topping placement and a crispy, medium-thick crust, it all holds together remarkably well. Dino’s runs a swift takeout operation, but make time at least once to eat in their old-school dining room, which looks like the sunroom at someone's grandparents' fishing cabin." - brant cox

"We’ve written several love notes to Dino’s Pizza over the years, but those mostly have to do with ricotta-filled lasagna pizzas and its kitschy Burbank dining room that feels like you’re eating at someone's grandparents' fishing cabin. This love note, however, is about their spacious front parking lot—an amenity that’s not always a given, even in Burbank. If you stop in for lunch, you’ll have the place to yourself, but even at night when things are busier, most people are just there for pick-up, so spots open up quickly.

"We’re just going to say it: Dino’s makes the best pizza in the Valley. With over 38 specialty pizzas, the menu at this Burbank classic can feel a bit like the wild west, so we’ll narrow it down for you: get the lasagna pizza. The Italian sausage, meatballs, and whipped ricotta could easily eat like a mess, but the expert placement of toppings on each slice and a crispy, medium-thick crust keeps things balanced. Dino’s runs a swift takeout operation, but you should make time to eat in their old-school dining room that feels like the sunroom at your grandparents' fishing cabin." - Brant Cox

"Best pizza in the Valley? That would be Dino’s. The Burbank stand-by is probably best known as that pizza you eat everyday on the studio lot and never realize it probably came from Dino’s. With over 38 specialty pizzas, their menu can feel a bit like the wild west at times, so let us help you - you want the sausage and meatball-topped lasagna pizza. Badly. Dining inside their old-school space off Burbank Blvd. is also very much recommended." - Brant Cox
