North End Pizzeria — Restaurant in Burbank

A Slice of the Past at North End Pizza There are some places that serve more than just food — they serve memories. North End Pizza is that kind of place for me. I still remember the first time I met Dominic, back when he opened up at the original location. It was the new kid in town in the neighborhood , just a small local spot with the smell of dough, tomatoes, and dreams in the air. Dominic greeted everyone like family — and soon enough, that’s exactly what it felt like. Back then, Cheryl and I frequently visited, and every bite of that pizza felt like it was part of our story being written. We'd show up four nights a week like clockwork, always bringing our English bulldog, GUINNESS, who somehow managed to become as much of a regular as we were. The staff knew our order, and Guinness always had a water bowl waiting. That place was our second home — a quiet little rhythm in our lives, tucked away in Burbank. Fast forward to now, and life has changed. Cheryl’s my wife now, and Guinness has long since crossed the rainbow bridge, but that bond — the one forged over slices of bubbling cheese and crispy crust — still lives on. Recently, we made the trip to Burbank to find Dominic and North End Pizza again. Same town, new location — but as soon as we walked in, it all came flooding back. The same warm smell, the same pride behind the counter, and when that first bite hit my tongue — it was like no time had passed at all. The crackle of the crust, the tang of the sauce, the way the cheese stretched just right — it took me straight back to those nights under the neon lights of Burbank, with Cheryl beside me and Guinness at my feet. It’s rare to find something that stays true over time. But North End Pizza? It’s still the best. Still made with love. Still Dominic’s. If you’ve ever had a place that made you feel full in more ways than one, you know what I mean. And if you haven’t, maybe it’s time you let North End Pizza be that...

This was our first time here, my kids loved the place, the environment and the kindness that all the staff have in this place. The pizza was delicious, but let me tell you about the beer… I am not a fan of it at all, but they sell one made with a hibiscus flower…made in a local brewery, it tasted absolutely delicious, this place is perfect for everyone. Definitely would be a plus if they cook the pizza on a wood fire. Excellent customer service, and not to mention the guidance that they gave us about what food we should try since it was our first time there, and telling us that way that they cook their food, EVERYTHING is homemade, nothing is frozen, the tomato sauce, ranch dressing, vegetables, etc., ask for the chicken wings… you’re going to love this place!!! UPDATE!!! We were so happy to find a good pizzeria, after our bad experience at pizza pazza, we really love this place not only for the pizza but ambiance was cool for the kids, the mother of the owner is always there, she was a very nice lady, until one day my husband asked for the wrong drink flavor! Once the lady got to the table he told her about it, and what an attitude that she gave him “what do you want me to do with this drink? Are you gonna pay for it?” He said, “yes but I need you to give me another flavor” she was very rude, and we noticed immediately how mad she got, GOSH! It was a fountain drink!!! On top of that my son went inside asking her for a refill even though that is a fountain drink, they have to serve you the refill, we are fine with it, but she said to my son, “how come did you finish your drink that fast?” That was all for us, what a bad customer service! Specially because the pizza there is very expensive. Luckily we found another pizzeria that is Neapolitan style, wood fire, and not that expensive! Go to gorilla’s Pie, you...

“Okay Food but small minded management. “ I recently ordered at the end of their shift from the location on Magnolia. When I returned home to eat our meal with my pregnant wife who’s a vegetarian, we home the eggplant that was ordered we received a sausage sandwich. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed that night and the next day when we tried to call and notify them of the mistake. After finally reaching the restaurant and receiving a call back from their owner/management, we were lectured how they 1) read their phone orders back over the phone (which the correct order was read back over the phone) 2) they have you review the order on your receipt ( which I remember being asked if I wanted the receipt but my reply was I didn’t need it as I have never had an issue in the past with my orders) and 3) they have you check the food which didn’t happen as I picked up our food at the end of the night. Lastly,, I was told how they were experiencing a rise in cost for materials, that they haven’t raised their prices, and that what they hear me asking is ‘ I want a free sandwich.” No I didn’t want a free sandwich, I just wanted the sandwich that I ordered. And if keeping your doors open means you have to spend 20 minutes on a call with a customer to explain the 3 different ways your staff dropped the ball rather than just replacing the $11 sandwich which is the right thing to do, then keep the sandwich, the $11 I paid and the tip I left on my takeout order. I normally don’t leave long reviews but this one caught me...
