I’ve been coming to little ove pizza since it opened, and I can truly say my favorite pizza is their Bee 1000. It comes with a red sauce, salame, fresh mozzarella, honey, chili oil and oregano. The bread is thin, light and delicious. You get a little bit of both worlds with the crust. Some parts are soft and chewy while others will have a casual crunch, which I enjoy. They have Parmesan, chili flakes, chili oil, oregano and garlic powder available to sprinkle on your pizza. I put a little bit of everything on my slices, but the chili oil is definitely my favorite. Another one of the pizzas I’ve tried and loved are the Bandito & Smokey Joe. Bandito has character, so be warned. It has a white sauce with salame, roasted garlic, dates and jalapeños! It’s an experience, a delicious one. Smokey Joe is just as delicious, but more on the classic side. It has a red sauce with bacon, smoked scarmoza and jalapeños. They offer vegetarian options as well, and I have to say that their Phoenix pizza is my favorite from their selection. Phoenix has a white sauce with pistachios, red onion and Parmesan. This combinations is sweet and salty, but very well balanced. They add some lemon zest at the end, which is refreshing to the palate. Try their salads! They are delicious and always fresh. Great vinaigrette. Overall, always a great experience. There is plenty of parking near by. The establishment itself is compact, but it’s a great environment. I will continue to upload pictures of the pizza’s I try and enjoy as I go 😊

Loved there pizza. The service was good too the lady was super nice. Definitely our pizza go to from now on.

This is a great little place, the pizza is always good the service is really good the people are are friendly, I love to take my family here. It's a great place if you want a quick bite because they sell pizza by the slices. They always have a variety of toppings. And the price is really good! Great job guys!👏

We always love our lunch or dinner at Little Oven! Thank you 💕🍕 p.s. If you are driving down main street looking for a sign for Little Oven, it's the one that just simply says "PIZZA" 🍕

Super tiny little pizza place but they have a ton of unique flavors that are very different from your regular run of the mill pizza place. They have daily specials that change constantly and you can buy by the slice. So you could walk in, grab a bite, and keep walking down the street. They have a big selection of good beers and even wine so you'll be satisfied. They have a bunch of unique cream sodas in glass bottles (not that evil plastic) with one I've never seem before... blueberry cream! It's NY style so it's thin crust. The pizzas are called pies here and they are huge! They seem like 2 feet in diameter but I'm sure they are not. The pizza is very good with fresh toppings from local farms which I like. They recycle also which I also really like. They serve paper plates and paper bags! Yay! No plastic that will kill hundreds of fish over hundreds of years. Give this place your business... enjoy good food and help move restaurants away from plastics!

We were finally in Merced and had the chance to stop by Little Oven. I have to say it's simple and delicious. We picked the slice of pizza we wanted an in 3 minutes or less they brought our pizza slices to us. For the price and all, it was great. 😋🍕

Founded by 2 awesome guys from Philadelphia, this is the place to get truly amazing New York style pizza that is easily the best in Merced and the surrounding area. Creative and high quality toppings, great crust, delicious sauce, and unique flavor combinations. They have at least 2 daily specials sold by the slice (along with the classic pepperoni and cheese), but you can also order whole pies. Even their house salad is excellent! Their vegan option is the only thing that is mediocre. For those looking to dine in, space is a bit limited, but they do have outside seating. A good selection of drinks and beers are a bonus. The only bummers are their hours (they close way too early in my opinion) and they also constantly running out of pizza (since they make the dough fresh every day and get super busy on some days with events or popular specials). But these can be easily overlooked for their super delicious pies. A must for the locals, but also highly worth a stop if you are passing through town.

Pizza here is good! I tried a slice of Pepperoni and a slice of the Hoagie Mouth. I'll be going back soon! UPDATE: Since I've left this review I've been back at least 3 or 4 times and had some more great slices! I'm getting a few whole pies soon. I recommend this place for sure. Honestly I haven't been to Brooklyn in a min but this is the closest I'll get and it's great. Another Brooklyn style is Gateway Pizza and I can't decide betweenthe two. But as of right now Little Oven is where it's at!

Little Oven Pizza, Your pizza is usually my favorite in town, but lately your crust has been so thin that it might not be thicker than my napkin. Not sure how you even rolled this dough out? I like thin crust, but this might be considered paper crust. Also where is the cheese? Redeem yourself and I'll post a good review.

Staff is super friendly. It’s small but clean. Unfortunately we weren’t impressed with the pizza. The pizza crust was good but the pizza was insanely greasy. As we sat and ate the crust got super soggy from the amount of grease. There was no added flavor from the crust or sauce. Just a very basic pizza. The price is good unless you want to add a lot of things and then it would be a bit pricey.

Pepperoni was a bit greasy but the taste was spot on. My husband and I sat at the counter to eat, so we were able to witness a friendly staff the whole time we were there. Thanks for the good food and service!

Went in for a slice of pizza and walked out with what seems to be borderline burnt pizza. Not as good a it usually is and i love crust but this one is burnt like a brick. Customer service is definitely lacking here not a very welcoming vibe when walking in to spend money here.

Just love this NYC style pizza and busy atmosphere with the music going. 🎶 Pizza is delicious 🤤 🍕 TEAM PINEAPPLE 🍍

Alright, this place has pizza that no place in Merced can beat. New York style pizza and its homemade. It is always packed as soon as they open, so you have to call in if you want a whole pizza pie. But, if you're there for a quick lunch, they have slices on the ready. They'll pop in the oven for a minute again to make sure it's nice and ready.

So I never thought that sweet potato and pizza would go together or kale. Well, this place has proven me wrong. I had a few slices from here and look forward to their specialty white slice. Great different, a great NYC style pizza place

Great service and Some of the best pizza I ever had especially there specials had the white kale special and omg never thought kale on a pizza would be so good. I'll be back for more my friend tried the bee thousand and I also had a slice of cheese definitely made me feel like I was ita pizza from NY will be back for sure.

Best pizza in Merced. Only down fall need to order ahead of time like 2 hours to get your food on the weekend and sometime on the weekdays.

Great pizza and nice staff. I wish the place was bigger because it's often crowded. They have a good selection of pizza slices and their menu includes fresh locally grown produce. When you want to order pick-up make sure you order in advance because they have time slots on a certain number of pizzas they can make at specific times.

Delicious pizza. Oven baked. Fresh ingredients. Made to your desire. Dress comforterable and relax!! Enjoy a full pizza or just a special slice. Enjoy the visit.

Little oven its truly unique. It doesn't run itself like other pizza joints it knows the value of a great slice and focuses on quality. It makes me feel like I hadn't had real pizza until I had Little oven pizza

Jersey guy visiting my grandson, so you know this will be a harsh review. That said, this pizza was damn good. Crust was much better than expected, a very nice sauce and just enough cheese. For California, where the term pizza is abused, this was a fond reminder of home!

Little Oven Pizza is a gem in a sea of monotony. This place is never boring and is always coming up with great pies, my personal favorite being the Sicilian. Keep in mind, they seem to have 2 daily pizzas aside from pepperoni and cheese. They also have limited seating.

The last few years I haven’t cared for pizza it’s like it all taste the same. My husband on the other loves pizza and likes to try new spots we seen Little Oven after eating at a different restaurant nearby not to long ago and today we decided to give it a try I was gonna let him eat his pizza and I was gonna get a burger next door but after I tried this pizza I quickly changed my mind it was ABSOLUTELY THE BEST PIZZA!!!! Now every time he wants pizza we will be driving out of our way to get it. He even agrees best pizza he’s ever had.

Excellent pizza! It has a little crunch but still foldable goodness. You can't go wrong making your own or just getting a slice. It is all divine.

Doesn't taste like NY Pizza. Not even close. I'm a new Yorker and never tasted pizza like this at home. But on the brighter side of things, it is a good pizza if you're hungry and low on money.

We went for a little road trip from Fresno to Merced to get out of town. Stumbled into this pizzeria. My family and myself really enjoyed the pizza here. Prices were a little steep but not too much. Pizza was very good and the menu was very easy to understand for an out of towner. The pizza and service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this place for your pizza fix.

One time Little Oven Pizza said they were the best pizza in the central valley. As time has gone on I find that it's extremely likely they are. The pizza is absolutely fantastic. It is New York style so don't expect Neapolitan Pizza or Chicago. The price definitely reflects quality handmade pizza, as well! I think the prices are perfectly fair, but others may not. They sell single slices or whole pies so you have some options! If you plan to come an hour-ish before closing for a whole pizza, or more, be sure to call ahead! It takes some time to make a whole pizza and many people may have also ordered. So they might not have time for your order before they close! Anyway this is by far my preferred pizza spot in Merced.

Honestly this is the best pizza for miles around. Being born and raised in Brooklyn, NY I know my pizza. The pizza is pretty big and honestly has New York flavor. The prices are very reasonable for the way it tatse and the different varieties of pizza that they offer. The staff hasn't been the most friendly to me but the pizza is really great!

Got the bacon and artichoke pizza and was very pleased. The pizzas are really big so it's great to share (I ate the whole thing though). 10/10 Best pizza place in town. Good job!
