Very old school Italian joint – went only because Guy Fieri went and the food was good!
Pesto pasta had a bit too much sauce so would ask for lighter sauce.
As an appetizer we got the “Franks Special Pizza” and it was insanely small, only 6 tiny slices for $19. Would not get again.
Friend had spaghetti carbonara and that was top notch.
Total was around $95 (with tip and taxes) for 2 people so not bad!
Went only a Friday night and only had to wait a few minutes for a table with very quick service

This mom & pop joint is the real deal. Authentic Italian cuisine that warms the heart and tantalizes the palate. Their pizzas are truly out of this world….the best I’ve ever tasted. Tonight we decided to sample the entress and boy were they delicious!! We’ll definitely be returning. Love everything about this place from the food to the ambience and wonderful service. Five stars all around. Highly reccomended!!

Great old school restaurant. The food was mediocre. Lasagna had way too much ricotta see photos. I had the Lengua pasta that was a little bland. We had to ask for bread at our table.

BARONE’S PIZZERIA, an old-school, California eatery, provides excellent Italian meals and caring professional service. Opened in 1945, this large, family owned eatery was the first pizzeria in the San Fernando Valley to offer Neapolitan style, rectangular, thin-crust pizza.*
There are rumors about Barone’s unique pizza. Here’s my favorite:
The original Barone’s was located near several movie studios. So when an East Coast actor asked the kitchen to make a New York City (NYC) style pizza the Chef responded, “But, I’m from Buffalo.”
So the Chef asked a few Italian friends, NYC actors, to help him re-create Gotham’s round, thin-crust pie, that’s ladled with Neapolitan sauce, and layed with shredded Mozzarella cheese.
Barone’s “pie” isn’t quite an exact recreation.
The Chef’s thin-crust pizza was built on a rectangular sheet, the thin wheat crust is ladled with Neapolitan sauce, then layered with thin slices of Monterey Jack cheese. It’s still presented that way.
Barone’s extensive Italian menu includes: salads, sea food, beef, pork, veal, and chicken entrees. So, of course, our party of five ordered four pizzas and vegan pasta.
My vegan, angel hair primavera is delicious. The pasta is presented al dente, and includes lightly sauteed vegetables, complimented with a rich tomato sauce. There is, of course, no cheese. My wife and I shared a small dinner salad, with a mild Italian dressing.
Our party’s four rectangular pizzas are ordered with various toppings. All are enjoyed and everyone brought home wonderful leftovers.
For dessert, my wife ordered a Sicilian cannoli. Juan, our waiter, said the secret of preparing a crackling good cannoli is to fill the pastry shell with sweetened ricotta cheese, just before serving. She loves it.
UPDATE: On a another visit, I ordered lunch, a small, Veggie Deluxe pizza, prepared without cheese. The dinner-sized plate pizza comes loaded with the roasted veggies and bathed in their delicious Neapolitan sauce. The thin crust, round, vegan pizza is crisp, flavorful, and honestly, one of the best I’ve ever tasted.
STUFF: Barone’s has a full service bar. Paid parking in their lot is easy. Some nearby street parking. Everything is ADA compatible.
* The eatery has moved twice. It expanded into it’s present location in 2006.

I’ve been coming to Barone’s for decades. It’s old school, unique and delicious. It had been a while since we visited since we’d moved out of the San Fernando Valley a few years back, but nothing can prevent Sunday night from being pizza night, and we thought we’d venture back into the old stomping grounds and see if it’s what we remembered.
It was!
We love the old-school Valley/Italian restaurant vibe. One might expect a place like this to feel run down with the decor and old-style booths and tables, but it was as if the place had just opened. Everything was “shiny” and comfortable.
The place was also packed on a Sunday. (At least in the dining room they had open.
We ordered a medium pie with garlic, onions and tomatoes (extra crispy), and an individual pineapple pizza. (Pineapple pizza naysayers need not apply.) We love the square pies with crispy edges…sort of Sicilian and slightly Detroit style, but really unique, crispy and delicious. It tasted just like the first time I’d had it decades earlier.
The house salad we had with it was enough for 3 of us, with a generous amount of non-lettuce items to keep it interesting.
Service was friendly and fast. Prices are reasonable. I hope Barone’s goes on forever.

I was looking for an Italian spot near by and this popped up. Definitely an awesome Italian restaurant with amazing decor and that classic feel.
I ordered the calamari, clam chowder and garlic cheese bread with a coffee. The calamari was excellent, perfect flavor, tender and crispy. The clam chowder was good and had lots of clam pieces. The cheese bread was also good, garlic & melted cheese on it. The coffee was also delicious.
Great customer service and I’d definitely come back to try their pizza or other menu items. Parking wasn’t that bad but on peak days I see it being hard to park.

OK, I must say, many, many, many moons ago my spouse and I took a few friends there who were visiting from Europe. And the experience we had wasn’t the very best. Regarding food and service. And we haven’t been there ever since. For the last few months, I pested my spouse to give it another try after all those years. And am I glad I did!
This place changed so much. What I/we remembered. We were welcomed by a young friendly lady and led to our table. Shortly after this the waiter, Marco came over ( who turned out to be the bartender also). A very nice and attentive man. It was Friday. Fairly busy but not too much at 9:00 pm. After ordering our drinks, my spouse had a Low Carb Pasta Salad, that was incredibly delicious. Perfect for him as a vegan. He also ordered some Sauteed Artichoke Hearts ( ok, he cheated a little with the butter, and we shared that dish it was seriously OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! For myself, I ordered Veal Parmigiana. ( Now I must say, I LOVE veal). I have learned nice cuts of veal are hard to come by in general. But when Marco brought my plate of Veal Parmigiana I almost fainted due to a culinary ecstasy attack. Seriously. I love food, I appreciate good food. I appreciate Chefs and cooks who know what they are doing. This particular dish literately almost brought tears into my eyes of deliciousness ( LOL- I just had to make up this word) A huge piece of veal, I had never seen in all those years since I came to this country. Next to it is a nice variety of nicely cooked vegetables. Not overcooked like at most places. An extra bowl of pasta of my choice. Then he brought me a nice side salad I had ordered with the most amazing Italian dressing I have had for a long time. In addition to all this, we also asked for some garlic bread beforehand. This I must say. Was okay-ish and totally overpriced. Sorry.
Once, again. The food was incredibly amazing. The service was superb. Thank you, Marco. See, again soon.

I hate writing this review because 1. I am a small business owner and rely on reviews to keep my business going 2. Barone’s WAS one of my all time favorite restaurants and 3. We did give the management fair warning that there were several issues with our service and meal and almost nothing was done.
We went for dinner last night (a Sunday) and the restaurant was pretty empty (the rain was probably an issue). Also, I would like to say, we are going out, we appreciate everyone’s time and know that not everything can be perfect. It is part of the charm and understanding and we are very reasonable.
However, we realized that we had waited an hour (our reservation was at 6:30pm) we had drinks immediately but upon finishing them, we waited another hour before I very politely went to the hostess (our server was not coming to the table, despite trying to get her attention), and asked if I could speak with her. I wanted to do this discreetly, since there were other people at the stand.
She insisted that I speak to her there, so I let her know we are long time customers and realize something may be off, we are very thirsty (and hungry) if she could assist us. Her response was that they were short a server, due to an accident, (very sorry to hear that, again as a business owner I understand) and that she was aware the service was not going to be on par. And then, she just stopped talking. I said, ok… Should we leave? Can we get more water? What is the next step, because just sitting there waiting longer was not going to work.
A manager overheard (who I thought was a customer) and he asked where we were sitting and our drinks came soon after. Then, another employee came to the table to ask what we needed/ and what the issues were. We explained that the pizza was prepared wrong and that one dish never arrived.
The pizza that was wrong, she didn’t offer to remake, or apologize, just the explanation that the server wrote it correctly and the cooks messed it up. I appreciate that, but the correct order, or even asking us for the next step would have been best.
It was all just so uncomfortable. When I passed the address on to our friends that were meeting us there, I explained that this is an old place, with tons of character and amazing food. None of that was true last night and I have a hard time seeing how it could be any different, even under different circumstances.
Eating out is a lot these days, life is a lot these days but I wish I would have read a review like mine before making our dinner plans. Unfortunately taking Barone’s off of our favorite list.

The perfect pizza. This is the old school Italian restaurant you want. Have you seen an Italian restaurant on TV or movies? Chances are its Barones. Everything I have ever ordered here is delicious, the staff are so friendly and attentive and again THE SQUARE PIZZA IS PERFECT!!!

First of all the restaurant smells like mold or mildew. It has a very bad odor so me and my children were dining at Barone’s and there were several issues that we were having. We were very patient. We asked for a manager to address the issues the manager came to the table and addressed the first issue. The food kept coming out cold and appetizers were served with entrées all at once they just kept throwing the food on the table the waiter comes to hand me an entrée. . The food kept coming out cold and appetizers were served with entrées all at once they just kept throwing the food on the table the waiter comes to hand me a entrée failing to tell me that the plate was burning hot. He placed it in my hand without warning me that it was straight out of the oven. My three fingertips were burned, and my skin started to Bubble no one offered me ice. No one offered anything I had to Flagstaff down to ask for ice for So after I paid the bill, I asked to speak to the manager. The waiter told me you need to just pay your bill because she’s busy and she cannot come out to talk to you and does not want to come out and talk to you so I told the waiter very I have no problem paying my bill, but I’m not going to leave until I address this issue with the manager, so I got up from my table and waited for her upfront while Rachel the manager comes out and starts shouting and starts calling me That my hand is not burned when I am physically, showing her that my hand is burnt. She continues to shout and then start to record my minor children without permission. Verbally threatening me and my children telling us that we don’t know who she is and that we don’t know what she’s capable of doing to us so I said ma’am, are you verbally threatening me she said you don’t have any proof so she continue to threaten me, my 11-year-old was smart enough to get all of Camera, once she saw that Rachel was recording us and verbally threatening us so we do have video footage of this after I paid my bill She continued to threaten us telling us we don’t know who she is and what she is going to do to us and then told us that we are on private property last eye checked a restaurant establishment is not private property after my bill was paid in full and me and my children were exiting the restaurant. She continued to follow us, harass us, and started recording my license plate, threatening and telling me you don’t know what I You you don’t know what I’m going to do to you. There was an older man. I guess it’s her father or whoever because they says that it Establishment is just sitting there and is laughing. I have never in my life dying at a restaurant and for a manager to threaten your life verbally is she a restaurant owner or is she part of some type of mafia or cartel? Let’s not talk about a big black strand of hair that was in my daughter‘s food and the entrées that never arrived at the table this restaurant should be closed down immediately I will be The city and the health department I have never ever had. Anyone threatened me or my children the way that Rachel the manager did.
