Ambrose Pizzeria — Restaurant in La Mirada

This little place has been around for quite a while now in Whittier, from back when the Superior was just a Vons. The quality of the establishment has been consistent through the years, calling back to my middle school years it's just as a I remembered it.

At first glance, it seems rather pricey, especially if you haven't peeked at the photos of what a "slice" really is. You could equate a slice to something like a personal pizza to something the size of Pizza Hut's family meal. It's anywhere from $4 to around $8 to get a nice lunch combo with an extremely filling slice of pizza with a (side) salad and a drink.

The pizza itself probably wouldn't be a good choice if you're the kind of person that must have all the ingredients, since the price scales upwards with more toppings. BUT, hear me out, it doesn't need it. The singular topping is more than enough to provide you with a bounty of flavor with the oozing cheese and crispy under crust. This pizza is /thick/ but it's not weak, it's airy, and holds up to its own shape, if you're a bread lover, or carb-lover, this pizza's very foundation is something you must try.

As for the ranch, you could literally drink it - and I'm not trying to say it's watery. It's the perfect consistency to where it's creamy but still flows yet doesn't just end up sliding off whatever you decide to put it on. In that same consistent manner, every next bite is the same as the first - it doesn't get heavier nor saltier, it's just right; like a tzatziki.

It's not your traditional pizza but the flavors and essential parts are fantastic and I'd be pressed hard to say it's not the best kind to go...

We have been loyal and faithful take out patrons at this establishment since they first opened. The food has always been great. It is most always extremely busy, many times you can't get through on the phone to place an order. We have had many experiences of calling an order in, being told that in 30 minutes or 45 minutes it will be ready. Our designated pick up person gets there and A.) they can't find the order - are we sure we placed it? B.) They forgot it and haven't even started it. I have made it clear to the order taker that they do not want to mess up the order I am calling in as it has already happened too many times. All the times we have had problems not once has any sort of reparation been offered. This should tell you the food is great!

Ambrose Pizzeria is well known for game day get togethers. The draft beer goes out in pitchers with cold mugs and people seem to really enjoy it. Kids will enjoy a small arcade off the dining room. It is a loud and enthusiastic group attending Game viewings and they all appear to be having fun.

Our Favorite dishes are: Chicken Fettucine Alfredo (add mushrooms!!), Spaghetti with meat sauce and extra cheese, both meat and sausage lasagna, and any type of pizza! ...
