This kid-friendly spot in a restored train station serves hearty seasonal American fare and inventive sourdough-crust pizzas in a lively, historic setting.
"Luggage Room is one of our go-to options for pizza in Pasadena. Their sourdough crust is chewy and flavorful, and they’ve got interesting and inventive toppings like chorizo and sun-dried tomatoes, and avocado and lemon. Our favorite, though, is the Shattuck Ave pie, topped with burrata, roasted garlic, and piquillo peppers. Luggage Room’s in a (fully functioning) train platform, and used to be the actual luggage room for people taking the train to and from Hollywood. It’s nice inside, and usually full of locals drinking wine and eating pizza - but our move is to order it to Stone Brewing, which is in the same plaza. They’ll deliver your pizzas there, so you can eat it while you make your way through one of LA’s best tap lists." - Brett Keating
"Pasadena’s Luggage Room Pizzeria serves well-made pies with chewy, slightly funky sourdough crust and innovative toppings. They’ve got options like chorizo and sun-dried tomatoes, and avocado and lemon. But we usually go for the Shattuck Ave, a pie topped with burrata, roasted garlic, and piquillo peppers. Pick up some beer from Stone Brewing next door while you’re at it. Order online for curbside pick-up or delivery." - brett keating
"Le Grande Orange Cafe isn’t the most memorable meal in town - or even in the fully functioning train platform it’s located in (that honor goes to its neighbor, Luggage Room Pizzeria) - but it is one of the only places within a 10-mile radius with a very reasonable corkage fee. And sometimes, that’s all you need. Corkage Fee: $10" - kat hong
"La Grande Orange is a good, kid-friendly spot in the same train station as Luggage Room, Sushi Kimagure, and Stone Brewing. In fact, they’re actually serving Luggage Room’s pizza menu, alongside their own cocktails and wine list." - brett keating
"La Grande Orange and the Luggage Room Pizzeria are serving a special mash-up menu that features popular items from each restaurant, like LGO’s prime rib and the Luggage Room’s line of pizzas." - Cathy Chaplin
