I just came back from Chicago a week ago, and this pizza is exactly like Chicago style pizza! Their pizza crust is crispy and has such a good flavor, their marinara sauce is very thick and rich as well. DONT GET ME STARTED ON THEIR WINGSSS, THE BEST IVE EVER HAD If your craving authentic Chicago style pizza, this is the place to go!! (Service was amazing as well!)

If you are up for some really good pizza and you want to try something new, enjoy a true deep dish pizza at Rance's. The menu warns of a wait for the pizza. Let me tell you something, it is well worth the wait!! Get some bourbon wings to carry you over. They are lip smacking, finger licking good. You have got to check this place out.

Empty bar should have been the clue. Raw food overall and the pizza was a pile of soggy undercooked garbage. Bad track lighting is the ambiance. The server was disinterested and should show less contempt to people who are unlike them. Cook the food, don't overcoat everything in butter, and move to kiosk ordering instead of the server.

The BEST deep dish pie! Can't beat the thickness or the flavor.... The tomatoes on top are to die for!

They have good pizza! I've been to other Rance's Chicago Pizza locations. This location is far superior. The location is perfect. Right in downtown Long Beach where everything is happening lol It does get super crowded on weekends. I came on a Saturday night and dang was it packed. But it is worth the wait for sure! The Chicago deep dish pizza is just like it should be. Huge and loaded with cheese! I love it. The pizzas take a while to make though. So, be prepared to wait like 45 minutes minimum for your pizza to come out. It's not like other pizza places where it comes out quick. This ain't no Pizza Hut lol

Been coming here for years, but this time may be my last. Last night I ordered a large thin crust pizza, and it was good as usual. I have no complaints with their pizza. I do have a problem with the majority of their other menu items. The artichoke dip we ordered was nasty, and only filled half way...it tasted as if it was made a week ago and heated with a microwave. The dry rub chicken wings were pathetic. They were small and tasted like I may have contracted salmonella if I ate more than the 2 I forced down my throat. Plus, I was only given six, when they always gave 8. Anyway, after 4 years, I will take my business elsewhere. Sorry Rance's, you tasted rancid last night.

Wow! Been following their page on instagram and finally came to try it out. The CaesarSalad was surprisingly good -loved it! Meatballs w/ marinara was pretty good but coulda did without the bread. The deep dish med carnivore / house special and was more than enough w/ leftovers. The sausage and Canadian bacon were excellent flavors and the sauce was outstanding! Highly recommend this place if you are a fan of cheesy pizza. David our server was a pretty cool too!

Excellent pizza. There's not a lot of places to get Chicago style pizza in so cal so it's a blessing these guys are around. The pizza is pretty heavy, indicative of a true Chicago style pizza. I personally throw it on a fry pan to get an extra crispy crust. We also put extra toppings when bringing it home like jalapeños and artichoke hearts to reduce the cost. Overall a very tasty pizza. We always get one when we're in the area. I just wish they had some coupons as it can get a little pricey.

This is the real deal. You will not find a better pizza than Rance's Chicago Pizza. This is also a great place to get pizza if you are keto and just eat the toppings and cheese. They separate easily from the dough. But if you like Chicago style, it's the only place in greater Los Angeles to get true Chicago style pizza.
One of few places I've given a 5 star. Their deep dish(expect a wait) is excellent and their thin crust is really good too. Also their wings(buffalo & Asian)are very good.

Okay, so BELIEVE THE HYPE. This place is amazinggggg. We have been here a few times and it never disappoints. The servers are all great, we've had George twice and he's super attentive & always has the best service! We have tried the spicy Thai wings, and buffalo... but once we tried the bourbon one... omg HEAVEN. They are the perfect blend of spicy and sweet...as soon as they bring them out you can smell the sweetness! But they are not too sweet! They are perfectly crispy but juicy and soft in the inside and omgggg the bacon bits! But let's talk pizza, as a professional pizza connoisseur I must say THEIR PIZZA MIGHT BE THE BEST IN TOWN. I do like to ask for light sauce bc I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes but honestly it's always perfect! We've tried deep dish and the thin either or is BOMB!! They have a ton of beer and drink choices like ciders! They do close earlier than I would like on weekdays lol but seriously this place is amazing!

I saw an IG reel on this spot and my bf and I decided to visit for pi day. We loved it! Service was great. Food was delicious. We ordered beer, a Caesar salad, wings and a small deep dish pizza. The beer was nice and cold, salad was prefect not too much dressing perfect amount of croutons. The wings were next level, loved that the sauce was not your typical buffalo sauce, it was sooo good. Now the pizza - AMAZING. We ordered the carnivore and added jalapeños. So glad we did, it definitely needed something to cut all juicy fatness hahah. Overall loved the ambiance it was a little busy and the wait for the deep dish was about 45 min but definitely worth it. Would be back again!

For two personal pizza that came up to 55 dollars I do expect better . The pizza wasn't even cut for one . Two they put the toppings in the center and not the whole pizza and three the pizza taste basic . Nothing special about it . I could had went to Pizza Hut .
