La Crosta Wood Fired Pizza

Anthony was super nice! I asked him what he loves most about La Crosta, and he said: * quality, of course * there are many options for any palate Anthony does enjoy spicy, and said if you want his personal recommendation on spicy, try The Gaba Gool Lastly, shout out to Niko [the one making the pizzas] for being nice enough to take 5 seconds away from working the oven to say hello to me.

La Crosta serves a decent Neapolitan-style pie—thin, nicely blistered crust—and then ruins the experience by making it personal-sized and charging around twenty bucks like it’s a full meal. You can drive to downtown Fullerton and get a better, bigger-value pizza at Fuoco without feeling taken advantage of and without the attitude. The service is the real deal-breaker. About half the online orders I’ve made haven’t been ready at the quoted time. At pickup, the front counter girl pretends you don’t exist—last visit she looked me up and down, said nothing, and turned away from the register. No “hello”, no “hi, what would you like?” Just indifference and bad attitude. The big guy (owner?) has the same hostile, “why are you here” energy. The whole place acts like selling you a $20 small pizza is some kind of favor. If you enjoy overpaying to be made uncomfortable and feel unwelcome, congratulations—you’ve found your spot.

Highly recommend The Godfather at this La Crosta located inside the Whittier Brewing Co ❤️🔥 They were generous with a variety of delicious meats atop fresh ingredient sauce and crazy delicious bread 😍 I have ulcers which is a true test of a restaurant + I ate this whole pie and felt great! That means they're using fresh ingredients only 💯 We took it home bc it was pouring rain but they have a lil jazz band on the patio on Fri/Sat around 7pm ish 💃 Grab some beer at the brewery counter nearby 🍻

I’m just going to keep it real . I was not a fan of the pizza 🍕 it was over cooked to the point of burnt. The wait time was ridiculous my daughter had to go and ask multiple times what the hold up was and then we get this …my hard earned money deserves better than this at best!!! Sorry not sorry but, am here for the next person.

I am lucky to have a friend in Whittier. La Crosta is a must when I visit her! Tasty pizza, friendly service, and a cool atmosphere.

This is terrific Neapolitan pizza. Most people that give poor reviews, I’m guessing, don’t know that this is closer to authentic Italian rather than American pizza. Crust is thin, chewy, perfectly charred from the wood fire; sauce has a bright tomato flavor (none of that sweet stuff so typical of American pizza); and toppings are much better quality, with actual fresh mozzarella. Their Margherita is my favorite, and my husband loves the spicy gabagool. They do have more basic options for kids like cheese or pepperoni pizza, but my toddler loves their Margherita too so we usually share. Pizzas are around $20-$25, and one can probably fill 1-2 persons. The dining hall is kid friendly and they have an outdoor patio which also has a great atmosphere.

Excellent real Neapolitan pizza!! Maybe a tad longer in the oven to melt the cheese all the way through but still great pie Great staff! Quick pizza. Now let’s try the Nutella dessert pie!!😋

This place is legit. I consider myself a bit of a pizza snob after all my travels, living in Italy for five years and throughout Europe for many more. And man this place took me back to my Italy days. Fresh ingredients, great pizza. It was a bit loud in the place but other than that, loved my pizza, I’m going back!

Pizzas are super good! Very authentic wood fired pizza. Service was great as well. Very friendly workers.

This is the kind of local pizza joint that I wish was more local to me. The garlic pie with sausage was pretty damn good. And while wood-fired isn't my favorite style of pie--that would be New Haven--it does have many of the qualities I do like. That medium thick crust that is firm, but not floppy is a like. The just thick enough sauce is a like. And that good smattering of sausage and garlic hit the spot between skimpy and indulgent. I like the service too. It is in a food hall with good vibes, ample seating, and noticeable energy. I thought that would add up to them being super busy and slow. But my pie came out quick, the servers had good rapport, and there was just an air that these guys and gals knew what they were doing the whole time. Even the ordering process was super painless and expected. All food hall installations could learn a thing or two from these guys. If the biggest complaint I had was I wish they were closer, then you know I have to get back in time with my next craving for pizza.

I've tried most their pizzas, and my fav is the Gabagool. Ordering is quick walk up style and pizza takes about 15 minutes to make on the spot fresh. Seating is beer hall style... pick a table. I've always been able to squeeze in and enjoy a personal pizza with this place. Flavors are vibrant, and the style is very thin wood fired with typically hints of basil. Personal pizzas are shareable for two people (I wouldn't push for three people unless nobody is actually hungry). The cost varies between $20 and $28 per pizza. Parking close by is typically a challenge. However plenty of parking spots are available in the nearby structures which are only a couple minutes walking distance.

First of all, i notice La Crosta pizza has pretty good reviews. So i will post my personal opinion on A Specific day. Maybe it was not a good day. My daughter and i ordered a pizza from La Crosta at the Whitwood plaza in Whittier. Everyone was very nice meaning the workers. Nice looking restaurant and sitting outside as well. When we got our pizza and opened the box the pizza was like slippery looking. The sauce was dripping the crust was super thin you literally had to use a fork to lift it up to take a bite. I've never had pizza so hard to eat. The pictures they have outside are delicious looking thats why we decided to try the pizza. Im sorry I would not recommend this restaurant.

Hubby & I had lunch here last weekend for the first time. The location is in a food hall next to other vendors. There was no line so the ordering process was easy & fast. Pizza took about 15-20 min to be served which wasn't bad at all. We tried the Mootzarell-the classic margherita & it did not disappoint. The pizza was light, thin, & perfect on the crust. I'm not a big fan of oily, cheesy pizzas & this one had just the right amount olive oil, fresh mozzarella cheese, & the tomato sauce wasn't overpowering but blended well into the dough. Both of us devoured every slice. I'm definitely curious to try their other pizzas next time.

It was a warm evening in uptown. A perfect night to sit outside and enjoy food and drinks. We walked into the local food hall and found La Crosta. Its located to the rear near other food vendors. Soon after we had a warm pizza and wings brought to our outside table. The hand made pizza was amazingly tasty. I usually complain about the toppings not making it all the way to the ends which leaves an abundance of crust but this time I'm not. The crust was good and dipped well into their cream ranch dressing. The wings were large and tender accompanied by the sweet chili sauce which had just enough spice. They were good. Add an ice cold beer and some live music to the mix and it's a perfect pairing. Easy parking, plenty of seating, average prices, friendly service and a fun atmosphere.

Came in for a group dinner. Half the group wanted pizza and the other half went for Cena. Both options were great and I love that there is something for everyone at the brewery. Both pizzas were made to order and came out within about 15 minutes. The pizzas were good, but neither really blew me away. Overall it was a solid experience and I wouldn't hesitate to come here again, but I probably wouldn't make it my first choice in terms of pizza in Whittier.

On a Sunday evening we went to the Whittier Brewing Company, that's where this pizza place is located. There was no line so we were able to order quickly. I shared a meat lovers with my cousin, it was delicious. The style of pizza was thin. We ate it out on the patio is was a beautiful evening.

Wow. Love their wood fired pizza. My wife and I ordered the Godfather and an order of buffalo wings. Everything was amazing. Will be coming back.

The pizza here has got to be some of the best in all of LA. My favorites are the Gabagool, Fugazzi, and of course the Godfather. I love that they always come out hot and the ingredients are so fresh. The wings here are to die for as well. They have 3 flavors but, I love them all. The arugula salad is delicious too and they load that bad boy up. Catalina is always super sweet and helpful. The ambiance is dope if you're looking for delicious pizza and cold beer in uptown Whittier. 10/10

I was craving for pizza one lazy Sunday afternoon, and saw La Crosta was available for delivery. It was our first time to try, and it definitely did not disappoint! We ordered their meatlovers pizza, called the "GodFather" and the Gabagool pizza, which had calabrian chili and honey. We also ordered the sweet chili wings. Pizza is my favorite food (top faves: Pizzeria Bianco, Pizzeria Mozza, and Pizzana), and I'm glad we have quality pizza close by! The meatlovers pizza was a tad salty to be honest, and the Gabagool pizza was a little too spicy for me.. but the crust and the quality ingredients really shone through. My husband and I couldn't finish everything so we had leftovers for the following day. Since the crust was very thin, it only took less than five minutes of broiling in the oven and they still turned out yummy! I even felt like it was better as the crust was crunchier in the oven, I actually felt sad when we finished the leftovers! We loved their pizza crust. We will definitely order again, and try some of their other pizzas (except for the one with pineapple, a blasphemy! Kidding). As for the sweet chili chicken wings, they were delicious too, just spicy enough. We would order it again. Highly recommend La Crosta for yummy pizza!

Long wait for pizza toppings fell off and bland taste it use to be good I don't know what happened no love in this pizza anymore

Pizza was tasty and the customer service excelled my expectations. And the ambiance at the brewery is just what I needed for my Saturday night.

Good Pizza inside Whittier Brewery Company. The dough was really soft when chewing the pizza. A great pair with a cold beer. The ambience is nice since there's other food options. It is a bit pricey but it's worth the taste.

La Crosta Wood Fired Pizza is in a historical building converted into a food hall space. They served Neapolitan-style pizza using quality ingredients and heating it in a wood-fired pit. Although I did not watch it being made, the beautiful pizza presentation said it all. There were bits of coal dust underneath the pizza, some areas charred with bubbled crust, and lovely cooked layers of cheese and toppings. For a group of three: BUFFALO WINGS - Buffalo wings (6) came with a side Ranch dressing and was well cooked. The cost at this restaurant feels a bit steep. I think spending $2 per wing is not the ideal price range. There was a lack of appetizers, so we chose the most filling option. MOOTZARELL-CLASSIC (Fresh Mozzarella, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Basil, Extra Virgin Oil) - This is their classic MARGHERITA PIZZA. Anytime I'm a Neapolitan-style pizzeria, I judge the quality of their pizza-making when I order their Margherita. After taking a bite of their pizza, it was SOLID. From their mozzarella to their tomato sauce, it was on point. FUGAZZI (Fresh Mozzarella, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Basil, Pineapple, Bacon, Jalapenos, and Hot Honey) - I wonder if they got the name of this pizza because some people believe pineapple and bacon can coexist. I will end the debate: pork and pineapple work and this pizza debunks it. Here, they layered extra ingredients of jalapeno, basil, and hot honey, which should receive a high compliment. Similar to the wings, both personal pizzas are at a price of dine-in restaurant standard. If you are good with the price, this place deserves a chance.

The seating was amazing, the ambiance is really cool, ideal for a first date, anniversary, girls night or guys night. The service was great! Although the cashier had a bit of an attitude not really friendly per se. The food was amazing, i work and make wood fire pizza and everything was outstanding. The dough didnt taste ashy or burnt or didnt have the taste of burent excess flour. A tad but too greasy but still delicious. The wings were very delicious and spicy! I didnt anticipate the spice level to be that high. The wings were a bit pricey but i understand. I personally dont like wings with alot of that fatty chewy cartilage and that sticky layer of skin underneath the chicken and i was amazed these wings didnt have that. High quality chicken. Definitely recommend, it is pricey but worth it

Bad service! Because they're BUSY they think it's ok to leave wings in the open and customers are coming over and speaking over food. Luckily our pizza was in a box and wings sat on top of the pizza under a food warmer but disgusting enough to leave the wings in the open. This place needs to practice a better sanitation process. Rude enough was the cashier running the food out. The register is literally next to the food lamp warmers. My suggestion move your food lamps and pick up opposite of traffic and food!

One of the finest pizzerias in uptown Whittier that serves the Brooklyn pizza. It's a great place for family and friends to enjoy. Good vibes all around. A five-star rating.

Great food, pizza is bomb would eat more but This pizza, sauce, and choice of toppings is incredibly unstoppable. So good! Got the Made Man. So delicious! Perfectly balanced crust between crispy and tender. The toppings are light but filling. Pro tip: add sausage. Bada Boom indeed!

Ordered the godfather pizza. Overall, alright pizza. Enjoyed the sauce and crispiness of the toppings. The crust was really thin, but unfortunately was not very crispy. Pretty interesting that the top had a lot of color, but the bottom was fairly pale in comparison. The pizza overall was pretty salty, it was nice to balance out the saltiness with some of their (house made?) ranch.

The big guy with tattoos scared me. I think it was a star on his neck, it was scary. But yummy food I got the grandfather. My husband got the badaboom.. funny name!

One of my favorite pizza's in So.Cal. Delicious Neapolitan style, multi-textured; both with a crispy bake and a soft bite, topped off with an appealing bubbled-up crust. The sauce is tangy and the ingredients are fresh. I've had the privilege and pleasure to visit two Pizza capital's this year Rome and New York, and La Crosta is one of the offerings that comes closest to taking me back to pizza paradise and stands shoulder to shoulder with both of them! Food: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Experience: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambience: 5/5 Good for: Pizza party, happy hour with friends. Casual dates. Good for groups (so everyone can get something they want). Recommends: Bada-Bing, Bada-Boom, Gabagool. Notes: Park on the street or in a lot and walk a couple blocks. It's in the old Bank of America Building in the Nixon Plaza and looks nice. This is more of a note for the city of Whittier, but maybe it's time to rebrand the Nixon-stuff. For a wonderfully diverse community, it's a shame that it's tainted by the memory of one of America's worst and most disgraced presidents.

Walked into the Nixon Building in Uptown Whittier with a huge surprise to see so many different options to pick from. We went with La Crosta and had 2 Fugazi pizza's (delicious and spicy) with a good amount of fresh jalapenos. Then we took 5 steps more and ordered our bottle of Quilt red wine from Whittier Brewing Company. We had a great time sitting outside the courtyard, listening to musics with our pizza and vino. We polished 3 bottles !! So Thank you Ashley for an amazing night at the Nixon Building

We tried their Hawaiian and their pepperoni. Both excellent! We didn't wait long to receive our food on a Friday night and everything came out hot and delicious! I love the vibe of the beer hall, it's a family friendly and pup friendly spot with a lot of good offerings! So fun, on St Pats day, one of the pizza place employees was dressed as a leprechaun, beard and all!!

La Crosta Wood Fired Pizza is one of the food vendors in the Whittier Brewing Co food hall. They serve wood-fired pizzas that are made to order and absolutely delicious! Think Neapolitan-style, thin crust pizza. We were hosting a happy hour, so we ordered a wide variety of pizzas. While the classics were perfection, I especially loved the Gabagool. It was in fact spicy and had a solid kick to it, but the honey mellowed it out to perfection. I was also a big fan of the Godfather (bring on the meat!) Everyone devoured the pizzas and absolutely loved them. They were stand out and paired perfectly with a pint!

I live in the bay area and found this place to order delivery for a friend of mine that lives in Whittier. They had a medical procedure and wanted to do something nice so they didn't have to worry about making dinner. Ordering was easy and they delivered right at the time I requested. Important to note I placed the order the day before. My friend and their family loved the delicious and authentic pizza!

I wanted to give this place a 5 but I'm giving it a 3.1.... The pizza was good if the whole time the bottom wasn't burnt.. we tried to keep eating it because we were hungry but no matter what every bite was burnt. The kids cheese pizza was better though and no we didn't eat it fresh we ordered take out and we didn't re-heat it at all so it was cold.. we were scared to reheat it because it'll probably burn even more... we've had Woodfire style pizza before but we didn't think the pizza was the wood for the fire... & also this pizza was not cheap $16+ for their classic BURNT margherita pizza. We will eventually try this place again but it'll probably be a long while. We were really bummed out being this our first time trying this place and it's close by we're just trying to find a good pizza spot in this neighborhood.

The pizza seems to get better and better. There were no seats at four bricks so we walked over here. Took 30 minutes for the pizza to arrive and I'd wait all day for a pie like that. The crust is crispy, leopard printed from the wood burning oven and tastes great! The dough is not cheap factory frozen stuff. They clearly make this in house. It's loud in the brewery on a Friday but once you start eating you tune the noise out and focus on the pizza in front of you.

A solid 3 star place. Glowing review likely locals I Liked their Montebello location before it closed. Could smell the basil and ingredients and I don't recall it being greasy. Probably because it was newer. Visited this (the older) location twice and was disappointed. edited: So business response says all locations used the same ingredients. Welp if everything is sliding off when it's just brought out somebody at the oven is heavy handed with oil or sauce or undercooking it. I went 07/14/2024 Sunday afternoon so maybe it's a QC issue and MAYBE this is a freak occurrence that happened to me twice months apart lol. Every slice I picked up was soggy and everything slid right off. If it isn't a greasy cheap mozzarella ingredient issue then that's gotta be a QC thing. I had no such issue at the BLVDMRKT location before it left. Fine for what it is. Great space. If I go a third time, I'll post video.

First time visit, excited to try it It's all about the personal pizzas and paninis along with beverages. It's small and quaint. There is a long bar stool area that is also where the line forms. Prices were a bit high but in this economy I get it. I ordered a classic Margherita pizza to go. There was one person needing the dough and making the pizza. Wait time was about 10 minutes. Staff was friendly and place was busy. Plenty of parking but it's in a food court area so finding a spot can be challenging at times. How was the pizza - tasty, not oily. It tasted fresh. Nothing outstanding but good.

Wings are really good..pizza is good if you're eating it there because the bottom of the pizza can get very flimsy and it also tasted a bit too salty for me. I would def come back for their wings and maybe try a different pizza and eat there since there is also a brewery and other small businesses to support. It's inside the Nixon building and you have to park in the parking structure or if you get lucky like I did get a parking right in front.

Good pizza, mediocre service. Food: Ordered the pizza with pepperonis - pretty standard. The crust wasn't overcooked and it was very flavorful. Lots of oil (in a good way) and the none of the pepperonis were burnt. Crust was the right consistency and they took it out of the oven in perfect timing. No flaws, whatsoever. Service: The service, though, is where this place falters. I walk up, first time, and I'm reading the menu. One of the older gentlemen from behind the register gets in my face with a cold look asking what I want. Not even a hello? Not even a single smile? Just pressing buttons, no recommendations or friendliness whatsoever. Can't really order much if I don't know what's good so I just took a whim on my own and ordered something that seemed alright. Waited for my pizza at one of the tables with one of my friends. He's number 23. I'm number 21. His pizza comes out. I'm still waiting. He's halfway done and I see them bring out the same pizza I ordered to someone across the table who's number 42. Apparently "they forgot" to give me my pizza. Great. Next time I'm here in this brewing spot, I think I'll try the other food spots. Thanks for trying.

My brother and I have planned to try this place out- Its now his fave pizza as he loves cupped peperoni and wood fired. He ate his on premises. It was clean. Staff was solid. He is on the spectrum but felt the staff was approachable for questions. He brought my pizza home (brother free delivery is the best!) . I had the Godfather, quality meats and basil. Pizza tasted even better the more you ate...versus some placese that get worse Wood-fire means char people...great local addition to the area. I was aware of them when they would do local popup off bailey but never was able to stop by.

Quality 5 star Service 5 star Pizza is top quality. Excellent customer service. My only thing would be that pizzas are a little small for the price.

La Crosta was a random find for me. The ambience of the whole place felt very chic, cozy, and modern. The vibe was right and the pizza was hot, fresh, and super delicious! 10/10. I absolutely would recommend trying this place and I will definitely be back.

This place is so trash. 20 mins before closing and you're closed?? This is the second time this has happened to me. And the staff is always rude. Good pizza for shitty customer service if you ask me.I usually go to the one in the Whittwood they're definitely better and have a nicer staff. Wish I could give this place zero stars.

I think the rule is that if you put "craft" in front of anything you can charge an extra 10 bucks. I'm not sure if La Crosta calls itself craft pizza but id pay the extra money regardless. This is hands down the best pizza in the Whittier area Not sure why it took me so long to go to the Whittier Brewing Company, the food hall in which La Crosta is housed, but I love this place. Not a fan of the tables, because I'm old and my back hurts after awhile, but I still love it there, especially when they have live music. As for the pizza, I've tried the Godfather and the Bada Bing and would like to try the others, but they are so good I don't want to miss out on them. As the name states, the crust is what it's about. Really I could just eat the crust with nothing on it, but the toppings just make it that much better. Also, the pretzel is a must if they offer it. It is basically the crust with nothing on it. I hope this place is here for awhile because I will definitely be coming here on a regular basis.

Do not support this sorry company. Was at counter asking about wings, if the sauces were made in house & the cashier young man answer no it is store bought sauce. I kindly change my mind about placing order, and the rude pizza maker (older grumpy man) under his breath said get the fuck out of my line then. What a pitiful man.

Fav place at the brewery! And best wood fired pizza I've tried! Wings are top notch too!

I ordered delivery with postmates which without my knowledge uber delivery took it over. The driver had the same delivery address as the location for pick up. I had put in my delivery address on the website. I never got the pizza I ordered the driver did call me and I wanted to give him my address to deliver which is in Whittier and within 10 minutes of the restaurant. Driver refused to deliver said he did not have a pen/paper I said I will text it to him he said no. I called the restaurant the employee called the owner and the owner said too bad even though I paid for it. Not nice customer service and I lost $33. People these days have no consideration for other human beings and no courtesy. I won't go to this pizza place for that reason. Imagine if This happened to you. How would you handle this. What kind of a world do we live in people take your money and you never receive the product? where is the small town courtesy these days?

I've been to LA Crosta more than a dozen times. I love their pizza, but their quality is not consistent. Sometimes, the dough and toppings are cooked perfectly. Other times, they are burnt or undercooked, or the dough doesn't taste the same.

Reliable, good pizza. I am very happy that they are local and that I get to order from them on a regular basis. Delivery is also pretty quick.

Pizza was delicious. Undercarriage was cooked to perfection. Little bit of flop and flavor was on point. Customer service was 100.

Okay!...I've been craving pizza! Not franchise pizza (not that anything's wrong with that) but "pizza" pizza. La Crosta checks all the boxes. First and foremost the chefs are helpful and accommodating . The menu is simple yet enough variety to please every pallete . I ordered The Godfather and The Mootzarell . The dough I feel is as important a component as the toppings are . La Crosta's dough is perfect ,thin with a perfect density to the crust where it's chewy but not doughy (if that makes sense) the ingredients for the toppings were fresh ,well seasoned ,and most importantly delicious. I will definitely be back ! Thanks La Crosta crew for the great food.

I finally got around to visit this pizza shop this past Sunday. 7/21/24. I was really looking forward to it as all the pictures on Instagram looked very tasty! I'm standing in line waiting for my order to be taken and as I'm standing there I'm watching the guy putting the pizzas in the oven. He is sweating a lot and is wiping his face with his bare hands. Since he was only handling the paddle I figured gross but at least you're not touching food, but eventually he did and needless to say my wife and I were completely turned off. I spoke to the person taking the pizza orders to the tables and let him know. I just walked away and that was that. I figured I would come back if ownership took steps to remedy this, but it's hard to decide to come back knowing what I saw.

*Update* I'm very impressed with La Costa's pizza AND customer service. After reading my review they promptly reached out, apologized for the mistake and offered a refund or to provide the pizza that was never delivered. Thank you La Costa for providing excellent customer service. Me and my family look forward to taking you up on your offer and continuing to patronize this restaurant!

Excellent pizza. I liked this location inside the Whittier Brewery Co. ("WBC") building better than the one at the Whitwood Mall. The WBC Employees are friendlier.

Ambiance romantic and upscale, the service was excellent, great place to celebrate a special occasion.

For people complaining about the prices these are normal prices in 2023 lol. Burnt spots is normal on a pizza. It's mind blowing people are complaining about this lol. The people with the low ratings are probably little ceaser fans. Anyways great pizza great service. Highly recommend
