Barro's
Barro's Pizza
16130 Leffingwell
Whittier
562-943-7251
After eating at That's Amore, I drove around and saw Barro's Pizza!! I couldn't believe it, because I thought the Barro's in Diamond Bar was the last one around. But, the owner of this Barro's pointed out, the Diamond Bar location is called Barro Brothers Pizza, while this is called Barro's. Small difference but a difference, never the less.
It took awhile but I finally came back to try Barro's. This Barro's has been owned by the same person since 1980. There used to be a ton of Barro's during the 80's but mismanagement caused many to close.
Pictured is a giant half pineapple and half pepperoni pizza, for about $16. The dough is made fresh everyday. It's not frozen like many other pizza places are doing. The sauce has a lot of oregano in it. They put tons of toppings on the pizza. You certainly don't feel cheated. This was a very good pizza.
Service is great. The owner greets you when you walk in. He is very friendly and will answer any questions you may have. They are not open until 3pm Mon-Thursday.
I would go back to this Barro's anytime. It's better than the Barro Brothers Pizza in Diamond Bar.
