    I'm very upset at this pizza shop. I ordered a mango pizza and the thing didn't even last me an hour. I ate it all in one sitting. My wife wanted a piece and after she demolished hers I bit her hand because no one will touch my pizza made by El Jefe. Seriously though, this pizza is fire 🔥 My wife took this picture because it was going to be proof of our divorce but it's the last two slices. She was like, " one for you and one for me" and I said no because it was too good. I should go get some more tomorrow. It's 🔥 ya'll

    I've never had a Mexican pizza before and was pleasantly surprised by how well it went together. The crust was extremely good. Crunchy, crispy on the outside and fluffy, steamy on the inside. The addition of cornmeal in and on top of the crust was very much appreciated as well. For two people, it's tough to get a good sampling so we ordered the smallest size and got it half half. One side Birria and the other side el pastor. The ingredients were fresh and tasted great. The meat was very soft and flavorful and was paired with crisp radishes and cilantro. The soup it came with was perfect for scooping onto your next pizza bite. The el pastor came with a lot of pineapple, a bit more than I would have liked. There was more pineapple than meat haha. It's a bit heavy overall, the two of us were so full after around 2 - 3 slices. Beer, wine and soda are available. They have a beautiful interior and welcoming atmosphere. The owner is super kind and friendly. Would recommend if you are in the area but bring friends!

    My friend had told me about the “Dame Tu Maíz Picoso” pizza being the best she’s ever had. Being a guy that loves meat and one who doesn’t often consider vegetarian options, I was really skeptical. But I can honestly say that this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. The pizza includes: grilled corn, rajas (stripped and grilled poblano peppers which are usually combined with cream and cheese), cilantro and a zesty chipotle sauce. I've ordered this pizza many times and will continue to do so. I just can’t recommend this pizza enough!

    I’ve been looking for a place that had birria pizza like this! My boyfriend & I ordered half La vaca flaca (birria pizza) & half Chorizón (chorizó & shrimp) So delicious & rich in flavor. Authentic Mexican food on a pizza. Chipotle mango wings hit the spot! If you enjoy drinking beer, they have different options for micheladas. The atmosphere is positive and welcoming I was attended by Jose. Definitely recommend!

    My first time here and it did not disappoint at all!! Ordered half &half to try two different kinds, the Birria Pizza (LaVacaFlaca) & Adobada Pizza (Me Gustan Tus Piñas). It all had Great Flavor!! Dough and Sauce had great flavor. That's what I like in a pizza, then any toppings are extra. Definitely coming back again soon!😁👍🍕🍕

    At the top for the best gluten free pizza. Wonderful crust, not thin and hard. Thicker and chewy and delicious. 5 visits so far and satisfied every time. Thank you for all you do.

    Lovely friendly place hidden away. The pizza we ordered was awesome. Like having tacos but pizza style. Love the colors, arts and settings there as well. There's also outside seating available and some beer choices. Come try out some new styles of pizza

    Solid place! You'll miss it if you're not looking for it. It's a Mexican style pizza shop. It's nice and clean inside. The menu is simple but flavorful. It's located in Sommerset Plaza. They offer some Mexican beers inside with a small bar. The business is family owned( I believe) so far everyone has been polite, and helpful. Support your small/ local business. You wonn't regret it.

    Hands down the best wings I had in my life. The flavor is on point and spice will have you enjoying them but nose running. I enjoyed the experience and will be back to have the pizza. They also have a horchata (sweet) and a jamaica beer (sour) on tap. I ate all 24 and was not disappointed. Do yourself a favor and go here asap.

  • 5/5 P M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow wow wow! The hubby and I tried out the pizza with mango chicken cilantro on and I gotta say it was one of the best pizzas in my whole life....and believe me I've had alot! The mozzarella is really good quality and cuts through the sweetness of the mango I just cannot wait to go back! They had beer in tap as well as bottles or can sodas. It's a tiny place but the helpful and friendly staff really adds to the vibe of the colourful place !

    What amazing pizza and so different than anything else out there! The place is super clean and the people are very friendly. We tried about 5 different pizzas and they were all great!

  • 5/5 Lorena H. 11 months ago on Google
    The pizza was Great. Innovative and delicious. I ordered the Birria and the chorizo which also had shrimp. The Salsas were so good. The salad was tasty! The wings and bread also 5 stars! Yummy! All 4 in the family Loved the food wich is Rare! Highly recommend this place! Small place though, they only have room for 14 people total in dining area. So it's best to take out.

    This is my first time at Pizzeria El Jefe and it did not disappoint! My husband and I got the Gallo Borracho pizza gluten free & regular pizza. We also got wings. I have been gluten free for 4 years and this is the gluten free pizza hands down. The owner of the place was super informative and polite and went out of his way to provide us with the best customer service. We will definitely be back! :)
