Jack's Pizza & Subs — Restaurant in Torrance

I went to this spot because it had such good reviews. I'm not from the area but I wanted to grab some pizza before going out on Saturday. The service was great, the young staff and the 1 manager in the spot were chatting loudly and greeting their regular customers. That's cool and all but the pizza was terrible.

I would describe the Jacks Combo as vegetable soup with barely cooked crust. There was hardly any cook on the vegetables. They were in really large chunks too so you got to enjoy a mouthful of watery crunchy onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc straight out of the Ralph's Produce aisle. The dough was cooked and the sauce was fine. But the veggie combo could use another 5 minutes in the oven to fully cook/brown the produce. The leftovers spent plenty of time in my oven getting properly cooked.

All in all I wish I got a sandwich, however I will not be...

Review for Jack’s Pizza (Torrance, CA)

From the very first bite at the tip of the slice, your mouth explodes with the robust flavor of their tomato sauce — rich, savory, and reminiscent of authentic Sicilian-style pizza. The crust is that perfect balance: not too thick, not too thin, with the authentic “water crust” texture that folds in half without falling apart. Everything stays on the slice just like it should.

The cheese is perfectly distributed — not skimpy, not overloaded — and every bite is balanced and satisfying. You’ll probably eat the crust on your first slice (maybe even your second), because it’s that good. By the third, you might tap out, but only because you’re full and happy.

This is true neighborhood pizzeria quality — classic, flavorful, and done right. I’m super stoked I found this place. Definitely worth a mention...

BEST PIZZA IN THE SOUTH BAY! My boyfriend introduced me to this little gem a few years ago and I can honestly say any other pizza I try since doesn't come close to the amazing taste that Jack's pizza makes. We're lucky enough to live 3 minutes away from this place, so we usually pick up and bring the pie home, but it's always piping hot and perfection every time. I honestly don't go anywhere else for pizza since my first bite of Jack's pizza, and I can pretty much guarantee you won't either. This place has been around for a long long time, I think somewhere around the 80's and I hope they stay around making magic in the kitchen for many years to come. A sincere thanks to all the staff at Jack's! Stay awesome and...
