“The staff here make you feel incredibly welcomed and are all extremely kind and helpful. A lovely woman helped me over the phone and didn't get frustrated with me over deciding what toppings I wanted. And once we arrived there , it felt like I had just walked into someone's home. It's a nice warm feeling type of restaurant that makes you feel like you're at home with family. The Large pizza we ordered is In my opinion, my favorite pizza yet. The ingredients taste fresh and light. I usually get super bloated after eating pizza but not this time. It was just incredibly delicious and I would totally come back here anytime.“

“Last night we went to Speak Cheezy on 4th St at Termino. First off, EXCELLENT customer service! We had the Shroomday Button (Oyster and Maitake Mushrooms/ White Wine Braised Leeks / Truffle Cheese / house stretched mozzarella / shredded mozz / parsley / post oven of lemon zest. *We love to add Hobbs Sausage*). I added that delicious sausage and loved that pizza! We also had the Bloomsdale (garlicky bloomsdale spinach / hand stretched mozzarella / shredded mozzarella /pecorino / smoked ricotta / gaeta olive / za’atar / feta salsa verde)... and YUM! And we decided to try the Garden of Farms Little Gem Caesar Salad (little gems / kewpie caesar dressing / pizza croutons / anchovies / Ribbons of Fiscalini Gold / soft cooked egg). Again, tasty, tasty, tasty. Speak Cheezy sure seems to use high-end products in the creation of their pizzas and salads. Everything was top notch. That salad was so yummy with that incredible salad dressing and the jammy soft cooked egg. I want another one to eat with my lovely pizza leftovers. :)“

“Hidden family owned gem in HB serving up the most nostalgic Egyptian feteer with some awesome modern twists (Lotus feteer!). We came here during Ramadan well before the sun set and our order was a bit delayed because they were super busy. Not a huge deal since we were fasting and honestly they are such gracious people, so I'm happy that they're busy and thriving! Please support this business, you won't regret it! Just make sure to plan ahead and don't expect fast food, this is real, authentic artisan food. We can't wait to be back!“

“The pizza here is delicious! Crispy crust with just the right amount of sauce and the pepperoni is so good. We love the garlic bread too with the dipping sauces. Makes a great addition to the pizza. Customer service is always welcoming and friendly.“

“oh my gosh hands down favorite restaurant! Our server, Booker, was amazing and recommended dishes and was personable. Margherita pizza to die for, spinach ravioli absolutely amazing. I was a huge fan of their frozen tiramisu, my partner was not, plus the free cookies and hand wipes at the end is just an amazing touch to an already 10/10 experience.Parking: Parking is available in a back parking lot, but there's street parking thats paid as long as you can find it and don't go during heavy traffic hours“

“We have been living in Cypress/Los Al for 5 years now and barely made it to this place. From the first bite to the last, every slice is a symphony of flavors and textures. The crust strikes the ideal balance between crispy and chewy, providing the perfect foundation for the toppings. Speaking of toppings, they're fresh, abundant, and expertly chosen, elevating each bite to a new level of satisfaction. We are truly excited to return knowing we have such phenomenal pizza nearby.“

“The food is SO GOOD!We came around 5:30pm on a Thursday, and there was no wait.The service was excellent and the food was amazing! Our eyes were bigger than our stomach, so we ordered more than enough food, but we had no regret!Highly recommend the bolognese pappardelle! Do not think of this pasta as of the regular bolognese pasta! It is not a red sauce based but cooked with a 200-year old family recipe! White sauce with ground meat and peas. It was divine! I would definitely order it again and again!The fungi pizza was also delicious! Came with six good sized slices. I loved the mixed mushrooms and the cheese! Good to share or enjoy on your own!Please do note that the restaurant serves pesto bread when you sit down. Be mindful of the large amount of food if you are not hungry hungry. We came hungry (normal hungry haha) but an anti plus two entrees filled us up quick, and we had to take about half of our food home.Three items plus two drinks came to be around $110 with taxes and tips. Given the quality and amount of food, it was well worth it! We will definitely come back!Oh so yes it is cash only. Bring cash or use the ATM inside :)Parking: Private lot at the street mall.“

“9 of us dined at Sofra Grill last night.We loved everything about this gem of a restaurant. Who knew that Bosnian food was soooo good. The employees were hands on, accommodating and educated us on each entry we ordered. From the yummy salad to the unique breads to the delicious meats...dining at Sofra Grill was a culinary delight. I hope they will continue to expand throughout OC so everyone can enjoy this unique find. Thank you, David and team, for treating us so well in your amazing establishment.“

“Mango Habanero Pizza - secret menu pizza, bacon, ham, jalapeno, pineapple, mango habanero sauce on top afterwards. Got the XL and it was big,18" (their giant is 28"). Crust was made on the thinner side in a good way. Sweet and spicy good Hawaiian pizza that reminds me of Wingstop's mango habanero wings.“

“10 out of 10 I highly recommend and I can't wait to go again! ??I had the Burnia pizza & rughetta salad with a glass of sangiovese. It was about $50 before tip. I thought everything tasted amazing.Friendly note to definitely make a reservation because they were pretty full at 7:15 on a Thursday.Parking: There are about 5 parking spaces in the back or street parking so arrive early.Also make reservations.“

“Casual pizza joint that sells roman style pizza slices. They advertise that one slide = 2 American sizes which is pretty spot on. We tried three different flavors . The dough had a nice char on it and the toppings were decent. They are able to retire the pizzas up fairly quick , on the day we got them it took just a few quick minutes for us to get an order in and then be handed a box of hot pizza. They have a few seating options both indoor and outdoor mostly high tops. And inside a long display case with all of their pizza options.“

“Fun little spot for a good beer and good food. Worth the wait. Staff is friendly and super helpful. They went above and beyond to help my wife on her birthday while she was dealing with our newborn. Can’t wait for the little one to be old enough to come on our next visit!“

“As their place is on the smaller size, we opted to do carry out since we were going for a saturday dinner. It wasn't a long wait and we reheated in the oven as soon as we got home. We got both Thai Curry and Tom Yum and both were SO good. Would totally come back for this again!“

“The matador was spicier than expected, but super delicious, my husband is not vegan and confirms that its not just good for vegan pizza its delicious for pizza in general. When we realized how spicy it was the 10 year old with us was taken aback and we were fully prepared to go take him to eat elsewhere, but I believe it was the owner came out with a pizza that had been a mistake pizza for him and he LOVED it. Best food and service we could have ever asked for! The 10 year old is also FAR from vegan and was raving about it, plus he loved the free kazoo, although I did have to ask him to stop due to trying to maintain the very relaxed ambiance.“

“This place is a gem. I told my husband I'll write a review because he loves this place - the silent movies playing in the background at night, the pizza with the dough cooked through with a little char, and even when we're not in the mood for pizza we'll come here for salads and appetizers. Any time it was his turn to prepare dinner we ended up here - he loved the vibe of this place, the familiar faces and awesome service. I told him this review was for him but it's really for me too. We will miss you, Thunderbolt Pizza! Thank you, Jay, Christie, and Tyler for being part of our family for the last 2+ years.“

“Forn Al Hara has been a delightful experience. The fusion of cheese, meat, za’atar and sujuk in their pies creates a harmonious blend of flavors that tantalize the taste buds and send me back to Egypt. The crust is flaky, and the fillings are generously packed, offering a satisfying combination of textures. The unique selection of savory pies distinguishes this place, making it a savory haven for those craving a Mediterranean style pies.“

“I've heard about Little Coyote for a while, and I wanted to give them a try. I ordered their Italian sub sandwich. It was the best I've ever had. The meat portions were very generous, and with their seasoning, put it over the top. $15 plus tax, it was worth it (made two meals out of it). I'll be returning to explore more of their menu.“

“Cortinas was amazing, today was my first visit for lunch. I had the Pastrami Sandwich. The guests around me were really enjoying their sandwiches as well. At opening time, 11 AM, the line had about 8 parties waiting to get in and order.I was really delighted as everyone else. I'll go back with the family.“

“This is my husband and i’s favorite restaurant. They always change up the menu so there always seems to be something new! Pizza is so good and the ranch to dip it is amazing. Desserts are homemade and delicious. My only wish is that they put the homemade Lasagna on the menu permanently. It’s the best I’ve ever had.“

“Staff was incredible! Pizza was ?! Garlic knots were ok (but the pesto and marinara were amazing!) Drinks were flowing! Vibes were immaculate! Live music started at 6pm. Great happy hour prices Tues-Thurs (I will be back!) Small parking lot but lots of nearby street parking. They also have stickers and pins (my fav) for sale, as well as mugs, t-shirts and more. What you MUST try is the house made root beer. OMG it was so good! Must go and MUST try!“

“Amazing Bingsoo! I've been dying to try this place and it did not disappoint! The owner was very sweet and cheerful! The bingsoo itself *chefs kiss* this has to be one of my new favorite dessert places! Please come try this, you won't regret it! Also side note, the actual location is inside of the market just go inside and you'll find it!“

“I'm generally not overly generous with 5 star reviews, but this place is a 5.Service: super attentive but not overbearing or in the way.Food: Bread excellent. Butter creamy and lightly seasoned.Soup, pasta fagioli and minestrone both outstanding.Salad was fresh and delicious with large shrimp.Chicken Marsala, tender and spot on.Owned by the same people as Black Trumpet which was a hard pass, but this place is a solid contender“

“We first dined here in the mid 2000's, the place was a bit small then, when I tasted the sauce (meat sauce/spaghetti), I was shocked to see it literally tasted just like our family's sauce that my mom had taught me to make (we are Italian of course), the food was so good, and I got to meet the original owner and chef, he spoke very broken English, but we discovered we were from the same part of Italy thus, the sauce! After that, we ordered one of their humungous pizzas for a party and it was so awesome! We moved away in 2004, but then I began working in the area in 2018 and went in to find his sons had taken over, and they had expanded by renting the unit next door! I told his son I used to eat there 15 years ago, and he welcomed me back, the pizza was just as great as I remembered, I have since taken friends there and the food is always the very best as well as the service, if I could give this restaurant 25 stars I would.Parking: Located in a strip mall next to a grocery store, but there is always tons of parking.“

“What a great find! This brewhouse has amazing service and food. Tried the Mamas Boy pizza and Scapoli and pretzel bites. The mamas boy was my personal favorite. Yummy beers on tap. The gentlemen working were very kind and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed. It's a family-friendly local spot. There are table games to enjoy. The specialty pizzas are extremely unique, and we will be back to try others.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome and there are games (tabletop/board games in the back) for them to play while the adults can grab a drink.“

“If you want dank pizza near the beach come here! Legit since i had my first slice there omg my mouth needed rehab from this place! ??The cheese ? on the pizza just melts with all the juices of AMAZING in your mouth!!! Yeah get a nice slice here! ???“

“Excellent Pizza. Th pesto veggie pizza was delicious. Generous with artichoke hearts, onion, tomatoes and olives. The Italian flavor was perfect. We took the pizza to go and enjoyed it sitting on a bench looking at the ocean. Recommend strongly supporting this small business,“

“I come here for lunch since I'm close by. It's also a great buy at 14 bucks. You can easily spend that at McDonalds or any other fast food chains and not be satisfied nor go back for 2nds or 3rds without dishing out more cash. Good atmosphere, good food and respectful staff. Love this placeKid-friendliness: Games for kidsWheelchair accessibility: Low curb and to sidewalk surrounding the building, but the main front entrance is wheelchair accessible“

“Great little pizza spot. We had a full pizza that was half pepperoni and half cheese, a slice of white, the classic Italian sub and the antipasto salad.I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get the pizza again, but if it were in my own neighborhood I would probably eat there all the time. The sandwich and salad were both huge.Great little patio space.“

“The Best Pizza in Town with Delicious WingsBig Rob's Pizzeria has become my go-to spot for pizza in town, and for good reason. Their pizzas are consistently delicious, with the perfect balance of cheese, sauce, and toppings on a crispy crust. Every bite is a delight, and I always find myself satisfied after enjoying a meal here.In addition to their fantastic pizza, Big Rob's also serves up some of the best wings in town. Whether you prefer them spicy or mild, their wings are always cooked to perfection and never fail to impress.The service at Big Rob's Pizzeria is also worth mentioning. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure that every customer feels welcome and well taken care of.“

“Opted for italian and glad we did. Michaels never dissapoints. Excellent customer service, fabulous delicious cuisine, excellent wine and bubbly selection and dessert to die for. Heated patio which made for a comfty dining experience. I had the Linguini with Salmon off the limited menu and let me tell you, absolutely spectacular dish. Try it while is available. Paired that with some prosseco and yummy! Started with roasted veggies, highly highly reccommend, utter yummyness roasted to perfection. Crunchy, fresh and flavorful. Paired that with Calamari delight! Capped it off with an on the house Tiramissu (not sure if i spelled it right) in a glass. IF YOU DONT HAVE DESSERT, you must make an exception for this, my eyes literally rolled to the back of my head on the first taste! "I'll have what shes having" type of reaction! A must try. We paired that with vanilla bean ice cream, delicious. Top that off with excellent top of the line customer service. 5 stars!“

“I am a very picky person when I comes to pizza. We had a pepperoni, feta cheese and onion pizza. It was hot, and delicious. The wings were hot as well. Very yummy. Drove there for other reasons in the area and glad we stopped in. I'd be willing to make the drive from Riverside any time. We'll worth the trip for quality food.“

“Great food and dining experience. This ain't your old Papalucci's. We started with the Margarita pizza (perfection), Caesar salad, main course and finished with the crème brûlée (delicious). My wife and I will definitely be back. We splurged tonight since it was our first experience there but looking forward to trying other items.“

“I have been meaning to say thank so much for catering to people with allergies. I came in worried about eating out cause I can’t have gluten, and as it turns out I did not get sick because you guys were extremely careful with my order. Thank you so much. I will be coming back to order again some day when I am in town.“

“Only had the food once it was pizza at a music venue, can't complain. Service was music venue Service, cant really complain. I've been to 15+ shows here, always great. I think in the last 5 or so years, someone came in to change the sound system, and it only got better. 8.8 out of 10 for me.“

“Birthday celebration was wonderful!We were able to use their room which accommodated over 30 people comfortably! Delicious Appetizers and pizzas were brought out in a timely manner. Friendly and helpful staff!Parking: Parking is plenty but shared with businesses in the strip mall.“

“Tried this place for the first time last night and I just have to say their pizza is amazing. We ordered two extra-large pizza using their pick-up special, making the pizza’s $14.75 each. A lot cheaper than if you were to go to a Domino’s or Pizza Hut for a larger portion. These pizzas are HUGE and could easily each be enough for three to four people. They’re one topping so we ordered the ham for one and beef for the other. Pizza is very New-York style and took about 25 minutes for pickup. Very sweet staff in this smaller location! There’s not a lot of seating so I wouldn’t go if you’re expecting to sit down, but a great spot to enjoy a takeout pizza!Parking: Free parking right in front of business - about four open parking spots.“

“Outstanding! I'm originally from the east coast. This is the closest to New York style I've had. The service is great. The guys are great. Very limited seating. They also offer pizza by the slice and other things. Our favorite pizza parlor. Short distance to the pier and many other shops nearby.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free.“

“We always get Porky's Pizza when we get the craving for pizza. It's close so we can drive over to pick it up, though they do deliver, and they always have a pretty good pizza whether we order pepperoni, bbq chicken, or vegetarian. We usually get garlic knots as well as an antipasti salad to go with it. A quick and easy dinner.“

“Been coming here for some time and I've always been so pleased with the service. Sandy, Cassie, and Julia are all wonderful to be around and clearly genuinely care about their patrons. The kitchen has yet to let me down, and the prices are fair. It helps that they will play sports on their TVs, and the beer is always cold and refreshing. If you haven't yet - check out the Mac n cheese bites and the soft pretzel. Great shareables for the table. And don't overlook the chopped cheese - incredible sandwich. Love it here!“

“This is my wife and I first time coming to this pizzeria ordered a large Meatlovers pizza with a side of Potato Wedges comes with ranch. The total was about $30 and wait time is 20mins but it was worth it since the pizza was not heavy or greasy at all and the dough/crust was delicious compared to big named companies! Would definitely recommend! The employees or owners are super nice. Ordered around 10ish pm.“

“My neighborhood spot with food that has flavors! Something that seems to be missing in most places. Luke the bartender gave me different tastings of the cocktails so I could decide. I ordered the Spicy Salami pizza, YUMMMY!!! If not spicy enough they give you chili sauce, chili flakes and grated parmesan. Great service, wonderful flavors and cozy place.“

“Marri's has been an institution in Long Beach for as long as I can remember. The "graffiti wall" is legendary, and I have memories of eating there a few times as a child. I was "reintroduced" to Marri's when a good friend reminded me of them nearly 30 years ago and my wife and I have been regulars ever since. The staff is always friendly, the portions are generous, and the price is more than reasonable. My wife, and several of our friends have sampled various pasta dishes, and we don't know if they're "authentic", but they're definitely amazong. As a lifelong TMMT fan, I've always been into pizza, and while I'll eat most any pizza -except those Mama Celeste ones made of paper plates and garbage - there are definitely tiers. If Pizza Hut is the equivalent of McDonalds, then Marri's is the pizza equivalent of Ruth's Chris without the price tag, or pretension. The dough isn't a cracker, or Brooklyn thin, but neither is it deep dish thick. A solid "hand-tossed" base that's just flavorful enough without being too much. Where a lotpizza is better the next day because the sauce has had time to age - Marri's sauce is perfect right out of the oven. They're toppings are fresh, flavorful, and plentiful. And, finally, they're marinara is thick, gooey, and generously heaped on top - if you're not an I like some pizza with my cheese person, like me, you won't need to worry about adding extra like you do in most places just to get adequate coverage. If you live in Long Beach, or are just visiting, and you've never been, do yourself a favor - Go see Shelly and Julio for a slice, or 12. And, if you have been there - IKYK ?“

“It was suggested we visit and I'm happy we did. While it was very busy with a wait on a Friday night the wait passed quickly. Upon sitting we were presented with focaccia and a delicious dressing to dip it in. The menu is a classic Italian menu. But the food was fresh, plentlyful and delicious. I look forward to returning to try some of the pizza that also looked delicious.“

“We ate here twice on our trip .. Food was fantastic, everyone in our group loved what they ordered. Didn't take long to get our food. Staff was exceptional, very very friendly and super nice! Little difficult to find at night, kinda hidden but well worth it!“

“Great Pizza, great location if you don’t mind eating outside this place with your friend or taking it to go after a night out on the beach or bar hopping!!Price is alright , but what I do like about this place is the consistency, been coming here for about 5 years now and I always get what I expect! Nothing more, nothing less.“

“Such a great, welcoming environment!! We were so well taken care of from the second we walked in until we left. Zandra took care of our drinks and food order and was so efficient. So quick to refill our drinks and was so sweet the entire time! She overheard us talking about hot sauce and was sweet enough to bring her OWN personal bottle over for us! Can't recommend this place enough, and that's coming from a manager of a brewery myself. Definitely check these guys out! (Also great beer!!!!)“

“It’s very rare these days where you find a place where they take the time to have a conversation with you about the history of their place. At Valentino’s Pizza, they not only do that, but they also provide the best veggie pizza that I have had in a while. The wings are juicy and not over cooked , like a lot of other places. Oh yea, and you’ll need a glass of milk for the brownie. I’m sure I’ll be back due to the good service and good people, and great food!!!! Tell somebody about Valentino’s on PCH, in Long Beach, I AM!!!!!!!!“

“Disneyland vacation and craving some Italian, Ruffino's nailed it. Little gem tucked in to a strip mall with a fun little pickup counter inside. We ordered pick up, so I can't comment on the internals but the food... man.Two Pizzas, a Calzone, and Spaghetti Bolognese. Check Ruffino's out.“

“We really liked the waiter Marco, he is from Italy and speaks Italian, it was fun to communicate with him. We didn't like the food itself, the pizza was burnt, the crusts were burnt on the bottom and on the top, the dough was too thin. The potato croquettes were delicious. It is a pity that there is no freshly squeezed juice, only store juice. Minus big for us is that we didn't eat a lot, but after the meal we had a stomach ache and didn't feel very good, we don't know why that happened.“

“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!)“
