Domenico's Jr

Excellent outdoor experience. We visited to try something new in town and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Don't expect a traditional italian delicacy. We had pizza and calzone and enjoyed it as the calzone could have probably fed both of us no problem. The waiter was attentive, but probably not the best representation of customer service (seating was confusing - you check in at the counter and then there is only outdoor seating available...). They include heaters outside so if that is your kind of thing. If you are looking for a new place to try or are craving pizza definitely give this place a shot. It was a comfortable 65 degrees outside so if you are a typical Californian you may be better off wearing sweaters and jackets if dining at night.

I grew up not far from Dominico's location on Washington Blvd in Pasadena and we ordered from it all the time. My dad was a huge fan of the Big D pizza. While it's still excellent, I think it's more nostalgia than actual product. It's still 'good', but it seems to me like it used to be better. Maybe that's my teenage self talking. In any case, love the cheese ravioli and their marinara sauce is excellent. Dominico's is a very 'old-school' Italian restaurant there aren't many of anymore. Bon appetite!
