My mouth watered as the smell of real cheese, fresh vegetables, and sauce wafted in my direction. I looked down at my week old pizza which I delicately (and deliberately) stored in the freezer still looking fresh as ever. One bite and I was in heaven. After living in Italy for 10 weeks, visiting all the noteworthy pizza places in New york, Chicago, and New Jersey, I have to say...questo pizza e molto deliziosa. And what an honor to be only 2 hours away from it...those of you who live closeby, take advantage of this gem. This is truly an "italian pizza" made with wheat crust and real cheese! A healthy alternative to the so called "pizza" places in this day and age. Parking is a bit tough but if I'm willing to drive 2 hours to pick up pizzas at this place, you all better be willing to spend 5 minutes looking for parking.
If you eat here, you must try the pepperoni and Italian sausage. They are truly amazing. I have had pizza from an array pizzeria's, mostly in and around the San Francisco bay area, and I can safetly say that Barone's is up there with the best. I got a tip from someone to leave the left overs in the fridge for a day or two and it tastes better. Though, I wouldn't consider the taste better (not worse either), but it is definitely different and worth a try.
REVIEW Kristi O. 12/20/2011 ***** Los Angeles, CA Absolutely some of the best pizza in L.A. I just WISH it were closer to me!!! It is always a treat. Love the pizza with tomato, garlic, and broccoli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUM!!!
REVIEWAnthony P. 11/27/2011 ***** Los Angeles, CA I've been to Italy a couple times and had my fair share of NY and Chicago-style pizzas. I'm not sure what the origins of this pizza is but it's amazing. I'm addicted to Barone's and eat until I'm immobile. I wish they had a location in LA. Until then, I will drive just to enjoy this place.
REVIEWFlorence L. 11/9/2011 **** WOODLAND HLS, CA Ordered late night, Right before they closed. They delivered in a flash and the pizza was BOMB! My friend called it in so the toppings were Tomato, basil and pepperoni and the pizza was super thin crust. I loved how crunchy it was. Not a big thin crust fan, but it was good. Ill have to go check it out another time and order it my way =)...! It was so yummy, but I always think Pizza is yummy!
REVIEWJerry K. 10/20/2011 **** WOODLAND HLS, CA I was dismayed when they closed the original Barone's in Sherman Oaks - my favrorite piza place. Guess what - the new Barone's is just 5 blocks from my house. I love their pepperoni with bell pepper. I always order my pizza to go. Small take out place. A bit pricey, but well worth it to me. Street parking.
"This really hit the spot!"
REVIEW Aug 9, 2011 ***** Kassandra, CAMy long time friend took me here when I was on vacation. I missed pizza from back east, and this really hit the spot. I cannot stress to anyone enough the importance of a good crust and dough. The sauce and cheese were perfect too. Wish I could eat here more often. See more reviews on Google Places
"Love the crispy thin crust" REVIEW 1/1/2010 ***** Dennise D.Woodland Hills, CA Easily the best pizza in San Fernando Valley. Just opened up near my home and I must say it's very good. Love the crispy thin crust and the square pizza makes it more enjoyable. Prompt and friendly service. This place is our new pizzeria.
