Highly recommend The Godfather at this La Crosta located inside the Whittier Brewing Co They were generous with a variety of delicious meats atop fresh ingredient sauce and crazy delicious bread I have ulcers which is a true test of a restaurant + I ate this whole pie and felt great! That means they're using fresh ingredients only We took it home bc it was pouring rain but they have a lil jazz band on the patio on Fri/Sat around 7pm ish Grab some beer at the brewery counter nearby
I am lucky to have a friend in Whittier. La Crosta is a must when I visit her! Tasty pizza, friendly service, and a cool atmosphere.
The pizza here has got to be some of the best in all of LA. My favorites are the Gabagool, Fugazzi, and of course the Godfather. I love that they always come out hot and the ingredients are so fresh. The wings here are to die for as well. They have 3 flavors but, I love them all. The arugula salad is delicious too and they load that bad boy up. Catalina is always super sweet and helpful. The ambiance is dope if you’re looking for delicious pizza and cold beer in uptown Whittier. 10/10
Excellent real Neapolitan pizza!! Maybe a tad longer in the oven to melt the cheese all the way through but still great pie Great staff! Quick pizza. Now let’s try the Nutella dessert pie!!
Anthony was super nice! I asked him what he loves most about La Crosta, and he said: * quality, of course * there are many options for any palate Anthony does enjoy spicy, and said if you want his personal recommendation on spicy, try The Gaba Gool Lastly, shout out to Niko [the one making the pizzas] for being nice enough to take 5 seconds away from working the oven to say hello to me.
