It's Friday, I'm driving through South Pasadena, kinda hungry, saw a pizza by the slice place and decided to stop. Glad I did! Crispy, just the right thickness, quality ingredients, I got the veggie and it had a bunch of basil and I loved it! Thanks for being open for a quick bite!

I probably had Pizzanista three times a week during 2018 at their DTLA location and just found this location tucked away in San Marino. It was packed! Their vegan pepperoni was as great as I remember, I love their Jesus meets seitan, and occasionally enjoy their Mac n cheese pizza (it’s waaaaaay too heavy to eat more than one + only available on Sundays). This location had a large merch section that I wish was smaller so more seating would be accommodated inside. Soft serve machine was a bit runny but also not vegan so didn’t have that. Garlic knots are great and looking forward to trying their Sicilian slices they didn’t have when I would go often. Happy Munchies, @aVeganAndHer

Stopped by for a quick slice. Friendly service, great atmosphere and the slice was great. I got the veggie and I was pleasantly surprised that they used Kalamata olives. The value was great as the one slice was really large enough to be considered two smaller pieces.

I’ve been to the DTLA Arts District location so many times, so I was shocked (in the best way) to discover this one so close to home. The space is modern, clean, and has a cool vibe — though I still lean toward the unique Arts District atmosphere. What really stands out is the pizza: same incredible quality as DTLA. Blindfold me and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. The only thing to keep in mind is that pizza by the slice can add up — if you’re thinking of grabbing more than two, a fresh pie might be the smarter move. Either way, I’m thrilled to have another amazing spot nearby!

The pizza was delicious . Always nice for pizza sold by the slice!

We did take out wanting to try a local pizza spot we heard good things about. Honestly the Sicilian slice is the best thing there. They put so much pepperoni on it that it’s almost too much, making the pizza very salty overall. The crust was great though. The most disappointing thing were the regular slices. All the ones we had were very dry which made the crust ends hard to the touch and bite. They need to perfect their reheating process.

Great addition to the mission district area. Lots of great pizza to choose from. Even gluten free & vegan pizza. Since it was my first time I got 3 different slices of pizza. You can also order by the pie. Definitely coming back to try more pizzas.
