Hard Times Pizza Co: Reviews & Ratings
This pizza is not fussy easy to access and delicious! A thin crust, just the best for as a basic "modernist" pizza craving. the Chocolate Cake is AMAZING deep rich chocolate hybrid of Tiramisu. A must have.
Best Pizza spot on the east side of LA. Nicely priced and tastes just as good as some of the 30 pies in echo park and silver lake. From the ranch to the tiramisu and the cheesecake to the deep dish and the pasta salad; Everything here is YUMMO.
I quite like the pizza from here. The sauce isn't acidic or unnecessarily spicy. The crust is a better thin crust. Cheese pull game is on point. The lady up front was so polite. I'm glad I live close by.
Great pizza great people, plenty of parking and the area is done being remodeled also. I’d write more reviews on this place if I could. Triple beam is ok but Hard times is the best
Very good pizza, especially for the price. Currently the building is undergoing renovations. It would be nice to see seating available.
Tasty NY style pizza, great garlic knots, and always excellent service. Try the chicken pesto. Definitely my go to pizza shop in Echo Park.
Fantastic and delicious pizza with great customer service! Me and my daughter love it here!!!
Finding this place was a breath of fresh air in the LA pizza scene! The pizza was tasty, the prices were very reasonable, and they have a good-sized parking lot. I enjoyed having the option of ordering by the slice or a whole pie. My wife and I got a small pie of 6 slices for 20. It was the right amount, but we'll have to get a medium next time since we each wanted more after we finished. No crazy waits, no 35 pizza, and plenty of parking means we'll be back, and often. I wish I had found Hard Times sooner!
