Pie Life Pizza

Right next to Jones coffee, there’s a little pizza shop called pie life. This place is counter service only with a couple outdoor seats. Slices are five dollars each. By the slice, their pizza is incredible extremely crispy. Ny style with a very pillowy crust - just how I like my pizzas. Their larger pies are good, but they don’t make it as good as the slice. I think if they made as much effort making each slice in the box crispy, then this place would easily be my favorite pizza place. Pizza - 4/5 Service - 4/5 Atmosphere - 2/5 Total - 10/15

It's utility grade NYC slice pizza in Pasadena. Which is to say, very authentic. But the authentic thing, while of course perfect and delicious after a hard night of drinking, isn't actually that great. I did like it though, and the price is great, just like the authentic thing. I consider it more of an exercise in a cultural experience.

This is my family’s favorite pizza place in terms of taste, quality ingredients, service, and value. We usually get half tomato basil and half bbq chicken pizza, and that feeds 2 adults and 3 kids. There is an outside tent seating shared with Jone’s coffee, which is another local favorite and must try. Always a pleasant experience here and can’t wait to come back.
