This is the best pizza. It is truly delicious and perfect. Their spicy pepperoni is by far the best. Their crust is airy and has a perfect crunch. They have wonderful service the employees are great and attentive. Highly recommend this location.

I was recommended to order by prime as a great local pizza place. We ordered two pizzas, but when they got to our house the delivery guy absolutely destroyed them. They were flipped upside down, piled on top of each other, and generally looked pretty bad. I called the store and spoke with the manager. He let me keep the pizzas and hooked me up with a store credit for more pizzas. Although the pizzas were messy and destroyed the taste was fantastic. I look forward to ordering again with my credit and getting the full experience.

Finally got around to visiting after hearing so many recommendations... Prime Pizza is definitely a gem. Definitely one of the best options for NYC style pizza if you are in the area. The staff was busy and still super friendly, the vibe was very cosy. A great spot to wind down after walking all over Little Tokyo. We had the Vodka pie and loved it. It was saucy and cheesy and still cooked to perfection. The Sicilian was great too. Can't wait to come back and try the other all the other pies.

I love Prime Pizza. This is probably the best Pizza place in LA. They always make the bottom of the pizza a perfect crispy and never burnt. This is my first choice for pizzas for my church whenever we have an event. Parking is the worst so I recommend ordering online or through the phone and picking up.

Really tasty pizza slices! Very flavorful. I didn’t know it was sold by slices, so when I got asked how many I wanted, I thought, “well, what a box has ? 8 slices...” and that’s what I was given 8 HUGE slices HAHA! We took some home, but if you ever stop by, know that it’s sold by slices and the slices are pretty big, though I think everyone knows that and I was just not thinking

2 Wagyu Sausage Slices w/ curry dip / 5 ! I love Prime Pizza and have been to many of their locations, but when I saw them promoting a special collaboration with Champion Curry at their Downtown LA location, I knew I had to try it! The location is right in Little Tokyo, and their collaborator is right across the street. The pizza was tasty! Crispy thin crust with delicious toppings. I was here for the collab, but I am always happy with whatever I get at a Prime Pizza location. I love a dip for pizza and had never thought to pair a slice with Japanese style curry. It really works! I love this part of DTLA. I go here and Chinatown more than any other part of Downtown. Parking can be tricky, but it is worth it. If you are a local and like thin slice and Sicilian pizza, try them out.

The best pizza in LA and it’s not even close. A bit pricey but worth every penny. I would recommend dining in as the atmosphere and service is amazing and the pizza is best fresh. Don’t let it sit in the box too long. Personally I love the cheese pizza mostly because I think pepperoni adds so much unnecessary grease, but still a great option. Prime Pizza is the only way to do pizza in LA. And I guarantee there is a location close enough to you. I could destroy one of these pizzas alone.

Suchhhhh tasty pizza! The square pie is so crispy on the bottom and thick and doughy on the top. Fresh and fast out. Guys that run the joint are really friendly and kind - they brought us some pepperoni on the house to try after we’d ordered. We will be back! Love from your London friends Jack and Hollie x
