If you don't like a well done pizza this is not the place for you. If you like them... man will you love this pizza. PitFire Pizza has a three locations throughout South CA they are expanding rapidly?. I do not eat meat anymore but when I did I used to get the STEAK SALAD... I am not crazy about salads but they are so good. The restaurant is super clean and you are eating the best ingredients in town.

two thumbs up ...  5 Star Rating - World class

From the beginning the service was excellent. We were a bit hesitant when we were guided for the manager to the very last table in the place which was really busy I was thinking that they would forget about us as it often happens when you are seated in a remote table. Not so the runner was attentive and frequently checking up on us.

Now the food... WOW.. the perfect pizza. Crisp and delicious, the toppings superb. So good in fact, that our 10 year old who doesn't love olives or onions, stole my pizza, and left me her cheese. SO very worth saving your appetite all day for. We are definitely returning even though we have to drive 45 minutes or more to get there. YES, it is that good....

This place is it !!! AWSOME !

Would be better if they can validate the parking!!
It's very hard to find one.

Italian  4 Star Rating - Very good

This place has great Italian dishes. The paninis are great for lunch. If you want the wood stove Pizza or even a great Italian Salad, this is a great place to go.

Going downhill it seems 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I live downtown and have been coming here on occasion since it opened. Last night was indeed the last night for me. There were tables that needed cleaning that sat uncleaned for most of the time I was there. The help seemed apathetic and half-asleep.

They have remained out of their premium draft beer for over a week. In the past they have run out of glassware and have served beer in plastic cups. They continually fail to go "heavy" on a topping, even when I offer to pay extra.

To add insult to injury, their pizza is expensive. It is decent pizza, and I have never had bad food there per se, but it isn't anything to rave about either. It seems like the place is tired already. Unkempt and perhaps poorly managed. Good luck, cuz I ain't going back...

Pros: it's in the neighborhood
Cons: it's not getting any better

Affordable, Fresh, Yummy Pizza! 5 Star Rating - World class

Today was my first visit to Pitfire Pizza Company in downtown LA. After reading all the great reviews I was very excited and hungry for pizza! Parking was a bit of a dilemma as the nearby construction took most of the street parking and the parking lots were atrociously expensive (e.g., $7 - 9 to park). I was heavily opposed to paying $9 to park to eat a $9 pizza, so I circled around until I found a parking spot. Unfortunately this meant we arrived at the restaurant right at noon and the line was practically out of the door. But to be fair, the line moved relatively quickly and the wait gave us a chance to decide on what we wanted: the mushroom pizza (assorted mushrooms, balsamic roasted onions, 4 cheeses, parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme)(yummy and fresh, great crust); the house salad (field greens, romaine, asiago cheese and croutons with balsamic vinaigrette) (nice vinaigrette lightly drizzled over salad, great nutty asiago cheese); the anti-pasta salad (arugula, red onion, salame, asiago cheese, tomatoes, etc.)(again, very fresh, nicely balanced flavors). I also had a wonderful viognier ($6 a glass) that went very well with the pizza and salads. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall, a great experience - I would definitely come back for lunch, and even dinner.

Summary: Pitfire Pizza Company was a great place to grab affordable, fresh, yummy food. They specialize in pizzas, pastas, paninis and salads, with fresh, interesting ingredients. They also have a special seasonal menu that focuses on farmers' market ingredients. You can check out their menu on their website. There are 3 locations (Downtown LA, N. Hollywood and Westwood).

Pros: Fresh, delicious, creative food; Efficient Service,
Cons: Parking

Good food; Bad service. Avoid delivery and online ordering... 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

I'm fed up with this place. I never written a negative review, but tonight they've just ruined our dinner... I tried calling in an order to go... If it's after 9 p.m., they'll just leave you on hold because they don't want to deal with your order. But don't listen to the hold music which suggests placing your order online... They'll charge your credit card, ask for gratuity up front and then just forget about your order and/or completly screw it up (even though it's spelled out). If you try to call and ask about it, you'll just get left on hold again.

Also, beware of their surprise ingredients. Many times, what you order might have an ingredient added in that's not on the menu. (ie: the garlic folded chicken has heaps of onions, but onions aren't listed on the menu!) This is really annoying, especially once there's something you don't like or are alergic to deeply melted into the cheese of your pizza or tossed into your salad.

However, I must say that the pizza is freakin delicous and their salads are amazing. They've got the right idea, but they need to work on their customer service.

Pros: Good pizza. Excellent salads. Downtown.
Cons: Surprise ingredients. Poor delivery service. Slightly high prices. No parking.
