  1. Don't leave without trying their yummy desserts.
  2. really liked the pepperoni they use its pretty spicy and tastes great.
  3. With an ever-changing, seasonal menu, Pitfire Pizza is quite a gem, and with organic arugula, caramelized onions, tomato sauce, hazelnuts and pesto, all for $9.95, they're also easy on your wallet.
  4. usually get the bow tie pasta which is good.
  5. My favorite is the wild mushroom pizza with a Mediterranean salad.
  6. Be specific: Generalities like "lazy service" or "tasty pizza" leave people wanting more detail.
  7. The atmosphere was cool, staff helpful and pizza awesome!
  8. But when you have already blown your diet they have yummy salads as well, especially the tun.
  9. There's over 5 competing pizza places within 4 blocks in any direction of this place, including one next door, but Pit Fire is so good, I'd gladly drive to eat here even if I lived farther away.
  10. Great food at a rather busy location
  11. And now they have great wines & great prices to pair with your food.
  12. The food is consistently delicious.
  13. You want a real pizza for good value?
  14. called Pitfire to complain about this nasty concoction they sent instead of their yummy (no longer on the menu) mac and cheese.
  15. Pretty traditional pies but made with some unique toppings (had my first alligator sausage and crayfish pizza).
  16. love sitting outside on the patio and the pizza is very yummy!
  17. Generously sized single pizzas are baked in a wood-fired oven -- the result is a chewy, crispy crust, topped with trendy or traditional toppings.
  18. The pizza is absolutely amazing.
  19. with really fresh ingredients.
  20. My daughter & I adore this place - the staff are nice, the place is clean, the food is great & the prices are good.
  21. Those who complain about portion size or amount of cheese need to realize that in good pizza, loads of cheese isn't seen as good.
  22. One pizza (chicken, goat cheese, mushrooms) was pretty good.
  23. Yeah, the crust was good, the ingredients tasted fresh.
  24. Definately one of the best pizza's I've ever had.
  25. Everything served here is fresh.
  26. don't mind paying good money for good food, but they were OK.
  27. They have this slogan, "the crust you can trust" and you'll know why once you take a bite of this tasty pizza.
  28. Better yet, by using local resources for ingredients be it farmers market veggies or artisanal sausage, the Pit Fire guys create good food.
  29. The food was really good and the price was right.
  30. Everything is fresh.
  31. Great pizza!
  32. It came with a fresh side salad of greens and a light dressing with generous slices of Parmesan cheese.
  33. but the food here is great, you really can't go wrong, and they have sangria and beers too which is awesome when you want to grab a lunch with a friend.
  34. I've had the sausage and greens pasta, which was also good.
  35. They get food, they get taking care of customers, they get good ingredients.

  1. The reason for not giving this 5 stars is that I felt the menu layout was not helpful for a newcomer and the service was mediocre.

Great Pizza

by KarynStow

Pitfire is a fun place to go. In a great location in North Hollywood I have been coming here for many years every so often. This pizza place can compete with the best: their combinations of crust and toppings makes you want to come back again and again. Last time we caught a show in downtown and came in with a large group. The manager helped set up a large table and was very accommodating to our wishes. Once we got our food, it was excellent, as always and certainly rounded out a wonderful evening. The staff was attentive.

Great Outdoor Fire Pit

by Kika Davis 2

With an ever-changing, seasonal menu, Pitfire Pizza is quite a gem, and with organic arugula, caramelized onions, tomato sauce, hazelnuts and pesto, all for $9.95, they're also easy on your wallet. One of the more interesting items gives a tip of their hat to Dr. Seuss, the "Green, Eggs & Ham" pie features organic rapini, baked egg, and prosciutto with truffle oil.

I really want to like this place but...

by sojourner

I am not sure why I keep going back. On several occasions I have ordered pick up from this place and a good 90% of the time there is a mistake.

Once I ordered Gorgonzola cheese to be added to a salad. I went and picked it up, drove home, and then realized there was no cheese. I called to ask what happened to my cheese and the girl told me they were out, okay, why did you charge me for it? They offered to give me a free meal on my next visit, I thought this was nice, but when I asked about comping the cheese she said the free meal was in lieu of the cheese. Umm... no I will not pay for something I did not receive.

I used the comp to get a sandwich one day, it took a while for them to find my name for the comp, they should have a better system. I brought my sandwich home and it was soggy, I should have learned my lesson about checking the food before I leave the restaurant.

Oh and for some reason I was always think this will be a cheap alternative to other restaurants in the area but I always end up spending at least $30 for dinner.

So again, I want to like this place but....

I don't.
