The seating was amazing, the ambiance is really cool, ideal for a first date, anniversary, girls night or guys night. The service was great! Although the cashier had a bit of an attitude not really friendly per se. The food was amazing, i work and make wood fire pizza and everything was outstanding. The dough didnt taste ashy or burnt or didnt have the taste of burent excess flour. A tad but too greasy but still delicious. The wings were very delicious and spicy! I didnt anticipate the spice level to be that high. The wings were a bit pricey but i understand. I personally dont like wings with alot of that fatty chewy cartilage and that sticky layer of skin underneath the chicken and i was amazed these wings didnt have that. High quality chicken. Definitely recommend, it is pricey but worth it

Walked into the Nixon Building in Uptown Whittier with a huge surprise to see so many different options to pick from. We went with La Crosta and had 2 Fugazi pizza's (delicious and spicy) with a good amount of fresh jalapenos. Then we took 5 steps more and ordered our bottle of Quilt red wine from Whittier Brewing Company. We had a great time sitting outside the courtyard, listening to musics with our pizza and vino. We polished 3 bottles !! So Thank you Ashley for an amazing night at the Nixon Building

I was craving for pizza one lazy Sunday afternoon, and saw La Crosta was available for delivery. It was our first time to try, and it definitely did not disappoint! We ordered their meatlovers pizza, called the "GodFather" and the Gabagool pizza, which had calabrian chili and honey. We also ordered the sweet chili wings. Pizza is my favorite food (top faves: Pizzeria Bianco, Pizzeria Mozza, and Pizzana), and I'm glad we have quality pizza close by! The meatlovers pizza was a tad salty to be honest, and the Gabagool pizza was a little too spicy for me.. but the crust and the quality ingredients really shone through. My husband and I couldn't finish everything so we had leftovers for the following day. Since the crust was very thin, it only took less than five minutes of broiling in the oven and they still turned out yummy! I even felt like it was better as the crust was crunchier in the oven, I actually felt sad when we finished the leftovers! We loved their pizza crust. We will definitely order again, and try some of their other pizzas (except for the one with pineapple, a blasphemy! Kidding). As for the sweet chili chicken wings, they were delicious too, just spicy enough. We would order it again. Highly recommend La Crosta for yummy pizza!

One of the finest pizzerias in uptown Whittier that serves the Brooklyn pizza. It's a great place for family and friends to enjoy. Good vibes all around. A five-star rating.

I live in the bay area and found this place to order delivery for a friend of mine that lives in Whittier. They had a medical procedure and wanted to do something nice so they didn't have to worry about making dinner. Ordering was easy and they delivered right at the time I requested. Important to note I placed the order the day before. My friend and their family loved the delicious and authentic pizza!

La Crosta Wood Fired Pizza is one of the food vendors in the Whittier Brewing Co food hall. They serve wood-fired pizzas that are made to order and absolutely delicious! Think Neapolitan-style, thin crust pizza. We were hosting a happy hour, so we ordered a wide variety of pizzas. While the classics were perfection, I especially loved the Gabagool. It was in fact spicy and had a solid kick to it, but the honey mellowed it out to perfection. I was also a big fan of the Godfather (bring on the meat!) Everyone devoured the pizzas and absolutely loved them. They were stand out and paired perfectly with a pint!

La Crosta Wood Fired Pizza is in a historical building converted into a food hall space. They served Neapolitan-style pizza using quality ingredients and heating it in a wood-fired pit. Although I did not watch it being made, the beautiful pizza presentation said it all. There were bits of coal dust underneath the pizza, some areas charred with bubbled crust, and lovely cooked layers of cheese and toppings. For a group of three: BUFFALO WINGS - Buffalo wings (6) came with a side Ranch dressing and was well cooked. The cost at this restaurant feels a bit steep. I think spending $2 per wing is not the ideal price range. There was a lack of appetizers, so we chose the most filling option. MOOTZARELL-CLASSIC (Fresh Mozzarella, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Basil, Extra Virgin Oil) - This is their classic MARGHERITA PIZZA. Anytime I'm a Neapolitan-style pizzeria, I judge the quality of their pizza-making when I order their Margherita. After taking a bite of their pizza, it was SOLID. From their mozzarella to their tomato sauce, it was on point. FUGAZZI (Fresh Mozzarella, San Marzano Tomato Sauce, Basil, Pineapple, Bacon, Jalapenos, and Hot Honey) - I wonder if they got the name of this pizza because some people believe pineapple and bacon can coexist. I will end the debate: pork and pineapple work and this pizza debunks it. Here, they layered extra ingredients of jalapeno, basil, and hot honey, which should receive a high compliment. Similar to the wings, both personal pizzas are at a price of dine-in restaurant standard. If you are good with the price, this place deserves a chance.
