"U Street is a tiny, order-at-the-counter pizza shop in Pasadena that’s run by the same crew as Union, one of our favorite Italian restaurants in LA. While Union focuses more on pastas, the name of the game at U Street is crackly-crusted, New York-ish-style pizza with tons of California influences. Think red sauce made from locally-produced tomatoes and toppings that range from Fresno peppers to Petaluma mozzarella. Our favorite pies at the moment are the briney, buttery clam pizza and the vodka pepperoni that comes with cream, peppers, mozzarella and provolone, and a housemade vodka sauce we audibly professed our love to when we first tried it. Also, make sure you order some of their silky-smooth soft serve - flavors change daily, but if the chocolate and vanilla swirl is on the menu, get it." - brant cox, brett keating

"U Street Pizza is opening for lunch in Pasadena this week. The Union-owned pizza project now has a full liquor license as well and is offering a robust daytime menu with salads, meatballs, square slices, the usual New York-style pies, and more. Hours run from noon to 3 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, and there’s also a new happy hour Tuesday-Thursday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. with $10 cocktails and $8 glasses of wine." - Farley Elliott

"The standalone restaurant from the Union team (located right next door) is already bustling with locals looking to score New York-style pies made by chef Chris Keyser, a longtime Marc Vetri alum." - Farley Elliott
