"Had a terrible experience while dining in for lunch with my autistic son. He was discriminated against for being autistic by Julio an employee. My son was not disrupting anyone he simply was highly stimulated and that seemed to bothered Julio who brought it to my attention. I was in complete shock that he stated my son was a danger to customers passing by or dining at restaurant. Only a person with complete ignorance could say such a thing. I asked to speak to Manager Carlos but he was not at restaurant. However , later on this evening I was able to speak to him and explained our traumatizing experience. I asked that changes be made and all staff be educated on how to treat All Customers with respect and equality. Truly hope this brings awareness to others when dining at this restaurant. I truly hoped at the moment this occured I could have built the courage to stand up to this individual and advocate on my behalf of my son but I was so upset I couldn't find the words at that moment nor did I want to cause a scene with 2 other families dining in. The manager did state I could call if I visited again for lunch. However , no lunch could ever make me forget the discrimination we faced. I only hope this post brings change to staff and awareness to anyone reading this."

Love this place! I'm glad it survived the pandemic. Consistently YUMMY since my first visit 24 years ago Tucci Special is the bomb

The pizza here is fantastic! It's perfectly seasoned, not greasy at all, and has a great crust. The only note is that they only accept cash. The service is excellent as well.

It's small. The food is definitely not a let down. They just need more table space. If I wanted to get a wheelchair in there it would be embarrassing. Food to go is better. Note! They only take cash. View menu

Absolutely amazing pizza! Very friendly staff and you feel like you are somewhere in Europe enjoying a nice pizza. Quote from my friend “Omg it does not taste like cardboard!!!”. Very nice pizza. I bit pricier then your standard but very much worth it!

We've lived in San Gabriel Valley for over 10 years, and somehow we never heard about this little Italian joint until recently. I had the angel hair with mussels and it was very tasty. The pizza crust is a bit thicker than we like, but the sauce is zesty. They sell beer by the pitcher. Busy place. We will definitely be back! View menu

First time here and ordered the Philly cheese steak, it was good but disappointed on the quantity of the meat. I was expecting a footlong loaded with meat but instead got an 8 inch with very little meat, my last few bites were all bread. So next time I'll come and checkout the pizza, hopefully I could come back and update my experience to a 5 star. All all I liked the vibe.

My Favorite Pizza place in LA. Everything is good, the pizza, the pasta, the salads, the atmosphere, the price, the timeliness, and most of all THE STROMBOOOLI They have seating outside if you have a dog (my GF has a dog so we always eat outside. I've never had to wait to get a seat. If you order to-go the food is ready in 20 minutes. I've had the Pizza, stromboli, calzone, antipasto salad, chicken Parmesan, garloc knots, etc and all were great. The stromboli is one of the best tasting things I've ever had. The pasta is also amazing, better than from a place that specializes in pasta.
