Petrillo's Pizza Restaurant (LA)

833 E Valley Blvd
San Gabriel, CA 91776

OK, I’m 36 years old and yet you may say poor me, but my reply, better late than never when discovering a little place like Petrillo’s… I have had the pleasure of enjoying pizza in cities where pizza is home grown, but from NYC to Chicago, no body’s got a pizza quite like Petrillo’s in San Gabriel, CA. Buried amongst the Chinese stores on Valley Blvd, I would have never expected this place. I grew up in Cali, mostly in the OC, but apparently, it’s very well known in the community. In fact, my wife drives 22 miles each way just to pick up a pie! That’s right 22 miles one way! It better be as good you say? The specialty pizza is as good as I say, I promise you won’t regret it. The specialty pizza is packed from edge to edge with bell peppers, onions, sausage, salami, pepperoni and cheese… Sounds easy enough right? Wrong! The vegetables are sliced paper thin and everything on the pizza just falls into place, the crust and the bread are also fantastic which makes this one of the best pizza pies in the LA area.

FINAL THOUGHTS: This place isn’t the cheapest place for a pie, if you are looking for a cheap pie, try the neighborhood Pizza Hut. Petrillo’s will run you about $25+ but so worth it if you want to splurge on one of the best pizza’s in town!
