"Founders Paul Hibler and David Sanfield for years owned one of the top movie catering companies in Hollywood. Their passion for pizza and the concept of high quality food in a laidback, casual setting inspired them to create Pitfire Pizza. All of their pizzas are made to order with many of the ingredients coming from local farmers markets. The strength of this place lies in the fact that they don’t just have great pizza. They also have some really great sandwiches and salads, and a pretty decent wine and beer menu as well. You could bring a foodie and a non-foodie here and they would both be happy." - Clever Creative

Can’t speak highly enough of the cauliflower crust here. I’ve been GF for several months now and it’s such a huge blessing when an established can fill the bill! Perfect balance of crispy and chewy center, doesn’t compromise on taste either. We always get the Little Gem Caesar too and it never disappoints. I’m a loyalist, so I always get the field mushroom pizza, but my boyfriend has experimented a good deal and has been able to create his perfect pizza here!

RECOMMENDED: We had a great time here. The staff were so nice and friendly. The size of their Pizzas were fairly good and even they were suitable for sharing. We tried Sausage party and it was very good. There is a free Parking next to the restaurant. So no worries about your parking spot. :)

Pitfire Pizza is a solid, sound and wise choice for quality Wood Fire Oven Pizza. They have a great staff, the Hostess and the Pizza Makers have been gracious to me and my company on two occasions. This is a place that does it right and understands being the full package with good customer service skills, high quality product, enjoyable dining atmosphere and general positive vibe. I am a Pizza Elitist (see how brutal some of my other reviews are) and I respect Pitfire Pizza. They simply do it right and there is nothing to criticize which is rare for me. Other Pizzas in the area of being good at Jon & Vinny’s and Pizzana for example. Hardly anyone in LA is in that bracket. Pitfire deserves lots of success and positivity. If you love Pizza, respect Pitfire today. Pizza Devotees must make pilgrimage. If you’re in LA/ nearby. Don’t go on a long drive for this though.

Really good food. This is my third time here, and I have yet to be disappointed. On this visit I had a thin crust margarita pizza with their in house sausage, and a side salad. Their pasta dishes are good as well.

One of the best pizza places in town. Very consistent in terms of taste/quality. I would say they hit their mark 95% of the time. Their Honey bear pizza is sooooooo good. They also have Mexican coke which is a plus.

Pitfire Pizza is a really good pizza place with great service and a nice atmosphere. You order at the counter and your pizza is brought to you, it takes about 15 minutes from ordering to bake your pie. There are a good number of vegetarian options and the Classic Margherita Pizza was my favorite! The Field Mushroom pizza is good, but seemed like it was missing something. The Burrata pizza was well made with fresh Burrata cheese on top. This pizza restaurant is great for groups of 3 or more!

My mother in law ordered a cauliflower margaritas pizza. She forgot to check it before she took it home. It wasn't until she got home thar we checked it together and it was burned. I called and the workers told me it's supposed to be crispy. I think it's beyond crispy. Too burnt. Not okay. I appreciate them working with us to get a new pizza /a refund.

Proper Pizza is one of my favorites in LA!!! I absolutely love the Cheese Knots as well as their Mac and Cheese!!! So much flavor and so many food choices as well. Last time I went we got a huge spread and were able to try a bit of everything!

Causal dining! Fun atmosphere, friendly!! Pizza was amazing!! I wasn't hungry and still couldn't resist!! Ranch dressing is a must!! Side salad was great!!! Priced right!! Sundae is HUGE!! Really great place to meet up!!! Great service as well!!

They're pasta is surprisingly way better than expected. I actually like their pasta way more than their pizza. Their pizza is the generic kind you can find anywhere . Get the vodka pasta. So good

I came here for lunch and had an excellent time. The Caesar salad is delicious, especially with its heavy lemon dressing. The chop salad is decent. The pizzas are excellent for both takeout and dining in, with plenty of seating available. Great neighborhood spot with friendly staff and good service!

This place doesn't have the same aesthetic as the North Hollywood location but service and the pizza are still great. I also really appreciated getting my wine glass filled to the very top!

Yelp

Good pizza, but a sleazy 3% fee (misleadingly called a "Happy and Healthy Surcharge") is added to every bill. Yes, they do post a notice at the register and give the customer the opportunity to decline the fee, but attempting to guilt people into paying an extra 3% that allegedly provides "sustainable" income to the staff is a great way to make customers feel manipulated and unwelcome. As if inflation isn't bad enough already. I find this strategy by Pitfire Artisan Pizza to be deceptive and manipulative, and I won't be back anytime soon no matter how good their pizza is.

Came here earlier today for my lunch break, it was my first coming here. I always see it but today I actually decided to come and try it! Luckily the server Ashley recommended the new fall menu! We got the SMASHING PUMPKIN PIZZA and BRUSSELS SPROUTS & BACON PIZZA. Both very good! My coworkers and I really liked the whole vibe of the restaurant. The server Ashley was very attentive and super nice! I would definitely come back

The food was solid as with all pitfires. But the service was definitely incredible and the staff helped us to make various food accommodations and were super kind and helpful throughout the process. And their seasonal drink watermelon yuza lemonade... so yummy I wish it was here everyday

Yelp

Really yummy food! Pizza, pasta, salads, meatballs -- everything is great. I like that they have a wide variety of pizzas and the meat toppings are very high quality. The service is great, too. Very friendly and casual atmosphere. Good for couples, family, and even bigger groups. They gave us a private room in the back for our party.

My gf and I ordered to go and this pizza was pretty incredible! I loved the unique pizza options they offered and really enjoyed the environment when I went in, even if I didn't sit down and eat there myself. It was very quick service and my order was ready before the time it was supposed to be so I was happy about that. Now on to the pizza. The first bite was something special and my gf doesn't even eat pizza like that but she was mind blown by her first bite as well. All the flavors went well together especially the Hot honey pizza I got which featured sausage and bee pollen! And my gf's field mushroom pizza was incredible as well for not even having a traditional pizza sauce on it. These pizzas were bigger than we imagined and have leftovers for lunch this week because of it! We would definitely come back to eat in person and recommend you try it!

I placed a small catering order with the Pitfire Artisan Pizza on Westwood Blvd. in West Los Angeles for my office. The lady taking my order was professional, attentive, and assured me my order would be ready for pickup on Friday, 7/26. Upon arrival at the restaurant for pickup that Friday, the restaurant was busy with lunch orders. The manager, Juan, confirmed my order one-by-one, and gave me plenty of all the extras I needed (i.e crushed red pepper, Parmesan cheese, cutleries, napkins, etc.) and even found time to ask me if my office would give his establishment more catering opportunities if the food was to my satisfaction. I told him I would certainly be interested if my coworkers and I enjoyed the food. Juan's customer service was top-notch, the food was delicious, and I will be ordering from this location again for my office.

I came here this last Tuesday and let me tell youuuuu. The food is amazing, I've gotten take out here before but nothing beats fresh hot pizza. The whole experience was great except the dining server, short dark brown little person (female) around 12pm, that works there was constantly on her phone or eating. She wouldn't come around while we needed help. Luckily there was a back staff employee Melissa that helped us with napkins and refills. Juan the manager did do his rounds and also helped us with to-go containers when we were ready to leave. Over all it was a great time dining in. I would recommend the pizzas FRESH, their kale salad, and all the pastas.

The Farmers Plate is a choice of 3 items. I love it. I chose the PeeWee Potatoes, the asparagus, and also the dressed avocado. I also ordered an artichoke. Yummy It was a delivery. However, I have also physically been at Pitfire. You can't go wrong.

We had dinner two nights ago. There was hair in the salad. When mentioned to the waiter, they did not even bother themselves to say sorry. Very bad customer service, very unprofessional staff, very bad food very unpleasant and unclean

A lovely pizza spot in Westwood! They have a ton of delicious options for any pizza mood you may be in. Lots of seating inside, great spot for a group! Ordered the honey bear pizza without meat and added arugula and cherry tomatoes. It was delicious!!! The pink sauce was amazing with the flavor profile. Savory and sweet and a lil spicy too!!! 10/10 recommend! Might ask for less honey next time because it was a lil too sweet. But all in all a great pizza. Probably good for 2-3, max 4 people depending on hunger.

This place never disappoints! The pizzas are consistently amazing, with crisp crusts and fresh toppings, the beer is colder than my ex's heart, and the employees have been awesome.

How about instead of charging customers a bogus 3% "Happy and Healthy Surcharge" fee you pay your employees an actual living wage? Customers shouldn't have to pay extra on top of tips so that your employees are decently paid and have actual benefits. Maybe instead of passing that cost to the customer you can just increase the prices of your pizza like other places do? Crazy, right? Shame on you Pitfire. I'll be getting my pizza elsewhere, thanks.

Horrible service. 45 min wait for a pizza . Had to cancel and leave . They were not even sorry! 5 chefs and 4 customers only. Still shifty service.

Dalia and Jack were awesome. Dalia was super because she recommended other things than what I ordered and said, "Come back and try them." I think I will! I've never had Pitfire pizza before but I always get a plain cheese for my first time in a new place, and this one was fantastic. Can't wait to come back and try the pesto chicken pizza like she told me to. Thanks guys for a great first experience!

I have done pick up/delivery from this place a few times, and it has always been super super good! My personal favorites from them are the honey bear pizza sooo good with the contrast between the heat and the cheese and the burrata pizza which I am just obsessed in. I also love their mushroom pizza and Brussel sprouts.

Sylvia R.

Amazing service! Quick and friendly staff. Pizzas are always the best here. Great choice for family dinner.

It's fine I guess. It's not the worst. I think for the price you're paying there's way better pizza in Los Angeles. I will say compared to primos pizza which is overpriced dog shit this is much better.

We ordered a vegan margarita with pepperoni pizza from here via grubhub delivery and was pleasantly surprised! I like how the pie part was thin and wasn't too bready, while the crust gave a satisfying amount of crunch and starch. A good balance in my opinion! I would try the other pizzas. Just glad they have a vegan cheese option for all the lactose intolerant people!

Blythe B.

Yelp

What happened to this place? It looks abandoned inside! It's sooooooooo dirty, I was scared I was going to get sick from eating here! However the food was good! And I waited a few days to leave the review to make sure I was not going to get sick. The employee was sweet. But... The windows are filled with gunk, the tables are dirty, & the floor was discussing. There's a cart that condiments are kept on & if you look under it, it's scary. Oh! And if you look up yikes! Come on Pitfire your a restaurant, time to close for a few days for a deep cleaning. We won't be back to this location, yikes!

Francisco V.

Great taste! We are definitely coming back and spreading the word. The service was kind and assertive.

Got a to-go order from this place and decided on their version of a Pepperoni Pizza. It's known as "Zoe's Pepperoni" and had a good amount of peppery pepperoni, but with basil and mozzarella. I liked the combo and idea, but just wasn't too impressed with the overall quality. Pizza is a competitive space and this just didn't hit all the marks. However, I'll give this place another shot because they have some unique looking options. I mean "Smashing Pumpkin" with goat cheese and pepitas or "P, B, & J" with Pineapple, Bacon, and Jalapeño? Yeah, gotta give it another try.

Maruko X.

Yelp

Ambiance: spacious dining inside, limited outdoor seating in front of the store or more tables along the windows facing the parking lot in the back, tables are not cleaned well, some chairs were sticky as well Service: slow and forgetful, made billing mistakes, had to remind a couple of times to get stuff Food & Drink: standard pitfire menu but quality was not as good as in other locations PESTO CHICKEN - *** Folded or Unfolded, Basil Pesto, Mozzarella, Provolone, Red Onion, stingy for the proteins, and chicken was so dry SPAGHETTI W/ CHICKEN MEATBALLS - **** Marinara, Parmesan, flavorful pasta, though the meatballs were a bit dry CHICKEN WINGS - ** Choose the style of Buffalo, overly salty, and not enough sour and spicy flavors, and the chicken meat was way too dry AMBER N.COAST - *** craft beer Price: large portions and reasonable prices, about $25 per person

Went recently to check out the summer menu items since they bring back that Heirloom Tomato Pizza every year that I love. The new Sausage and Pepper pizza is and the Crispy Mozzarella Thing is basically a giant mozzarella stick - cheesy Heaven!! Joe and the team were super helpful and accommodating and the space was great for a chill Monday pizza night.

Went in on Monday the 5th had a honey bear and a ceasar salad for dine in. The food was amazing!! We had the manager Brian taking care of us. He was so sweet and friendly. Made us feel so comfortable and welcomed. I highly recommend this restaurant! Cuddos to Brian and his awesome team! They really turned this place around.

Great food and great service! I am a big pizza fan, so happy to walk into this little spot. They have amazing pizza and salads and the beer section on point! The staff is very extremely nice and clean and the manager was super helpful helping me choose a great beer. He was very knowledgeable about the beers they had there and was really friendly! Would definitely recommend this pizza spot!! Yum!!!!

Pitfire was a great spot to stop in for a quick and delicious pizza fix. The parking lot was convenient and the staff all were very friendly despite us coming in an hour to closing. I enjoyed the pepperoni pizza & cheesy knots but think the Cesar salad could use a bit more flavor. The interior needs a slight face lift but wasn't too bad at all. I could definitely see coming here with some friends for pizza + beer!

Valerie O.

Yelp

Came in for some lunch today and was really excited to try the honey bear, it was really good! Brian was super friendly and helpful, he recommended the chard brussels and their mushroom cavatappi. I've been to a few pizza places in the area but will definitely make this my new pizza spot!!!

Chris K.

Yelp

We ordered delivery-one field mushroom pizza and a chopped salad. I've ordered from Pitfire before and we have been generally satisfied with our orders. This time, though, it was a different story. We ordered the original chopped salad without the Italian meats. It's a sturdy salad and as usual it tasted fresh. Now for the pizza...when it arrived, the pie was cold and the crust was hard. The delivery arrived later than promised, but the quality of the crust was beyond a pizza delivered late. We could have broken a crown trying to chew through the crust. Pretty disappointed.

Rahul G.

We ordered four pizzas ; one of them was completely burned( see photo attached). We tried contacting the restaurant but could not reach them. Very frustrating when you pay 20 bucks for a pizza! MARGHERITA Pizza

Great pizza, highly recommend. The honeybear isn't my "thing" traditionally but is absolutely delicious. Salads are great too!

Olivia L.

Yelp

The quality is always inconsistent, sometimes it's great other times pizza is burnt or cold on arrival. I ordered a margarita pizza and there was dried sweet syrup on the bottom of EVERY slice. Inedible. They also don't listen to notes on Uber eats I called to verify if they will add avocado and they did not.

Maryam B.

Yelp

Not going back. We ordered: 1. Gem Cesar salad with chicken - the chicken was spoiled or very old. It was nasty. The salads are small so you need to order 2 dishes 2. Spaghetti - it had a sour tomato sauce - basic 3. Kale salad - friend said it was "alright" 4. Kids cheese pizza - okay 5. Margherita Pizza - good Service (lack thereof) was horrible. Asked for a side of ranch for a small side salad and the person rudely said "you have to pay for it first." I literally wanted a tablespoon amount. It's self serve so they never come around. Menu prices are considered low- each plate under $20 but portions are small so not worth it. Only the pizza is regular size. If you love pizza, you may like this place. A lot of seating available and open area...nice ambiance.

Alex N.

I just had lunch here with my office team. Everyone loved the pizza and ESPECIALLY the wings! Great, quick service, worked really well for an office lunch, did not take too long. It was cool how we could see people making the pizzas. Fun vibe!

We came on a Saturday night and the restaurant failed to mention it was going to take 1 hour if we dined in for pizza all our other food came 40 mins of sitting at the table and no sorry no nothing i asked them if my pizzas could be expedited and they said no three kids and a meltdown and they said here are your pizzas in a to go box in the end we didn't even eat them at the restaurant they suck! there were only three in restaurant orders and the rest was uber eats so clearly we weren't the priority and i even said we are there tickets waiting to eat here. if you eat here ask how long it's going to be so your kids don't go into a meltdown
