Best delivery pizza in SE Pasadena?

[apfb]

Dear Hounds,

We're hosting a party for our daughter, who has requested cheese pizza on the menu. Which place near SE Pasadena has the best cheese pizza? We'd like a tasty crust with a proper chew to crisp ratio, real mozzarella cheese, olive oil or tomato sauce, and a sprinkling of fresh herbs. Research on the LA board mentioned Petrillo's (SG), Carmine's (Arcadia), Tarantino's (Pasadena). Any comments or suggestions?

Many thanks and happy chowing.

I've never understand the appeal of Tony's - but I have to say my son and his friends love it.

Tony's (in San Marino) says they deliver on their site - maybe see if they'll go that far? Even if not, I say it's worth a drive over.

Isn't Big Mama's & Papa's Pizza a mini-chain? How is their famous 36" pizza?

It is a mini-chain. I've never had the huge pizza, but I assume it's like the others, just bigger. Their tomato sauce has is nicely tangy, and their cheese is a few notches better than the stuff they use at typical Pizza Smut/Domino's joints.

Tony's seems like it would be fairly close to you and I think they deliver. I like them and Petrillo['s, but the latter is sort of far from SE Pasadena and I don't know if they deliver.

i've never been to petrillo's but people on this board seem to like it. never been to carmine's but i have been to tarantino's and not a big fan of their pizza. doughy with a thick crust. better when it's made well done but it's just doesn't taste good to me. there's a place on far oaks in south pasadena that is pretty good. i don't know whether they deliver and i'm also no help because i forgot their name. but that's where i'd get my pizza from.

it's called mama's brick oven pizza!

I'd select Tony's in San Marino or, believe it or not, Big Mama's & Papa's, over Petrillo's or Tarantino's (haven't been to Carmine's).
