Don't listen to these senseless reviews, try it for yourself. The place is amazing I've been…read moremultiple times with my family, and have not had any issues. People leaving one and two stars for issues such as not having online ordering, or being a restaurant that isn't a silent zone or kid free simply isn't right. Don't come to a family restaurant and get upset that there are families!!

Fortunately I ordered takeout pizza as this pizza parlor is a disaster to try and get a table. The…read moreparking lot was very crowded and the front entrance was so crowded I could hardly get in. I question whether the place was conforming to occupancy requirements. As for the pizza. I ordered a 18" pepperoni, with sausage, mushrooms, and black olives. Mooney's pizza stood up to it reputation. I found it delicious. The tomato sauce, while a bit sparse IMO, was a little spicy which I liked a lot. Eating in at a pizza place is always better than take out as the cardboard box gets steamed up and the pizza can get rubbery and lose its crispness. That aside, the portions were huge and we had lots of leftovers. I reheated a piece on the rack of my little Emeril LaGazzi oven the next day (on Air Fry) for a few minutes and it was crisp and yummy.

10/10. Vibes, food, and service. We took my son here with…read moreour friends and I was almost nervous based on how fancy the place seemed but the staff was extremely outgoing and friendly, making sure we got coloring pages, kids cups, and even gave him a dessert after our meal. Truly the best pizza and parppadelle wagyu pasta I've ever had. And I kid you not, one of the best iced teas as well. I can't wait to come back next time I visit long beach!

I loved Marlena for dinner so much that I had to come back for brunch. I'm actually not a fan of…read morebrunch or breakfast foods in general, but I had a feeling that Marlena could change that. I got the biscuits and gravy, lemon ricotta pancakes, and breakfast pizza. The biscuits and gravy were SO GOOD, I just wish they gave me more! I might've been in a food coma all day though. The biscuits are very buttery, and the gravy is very thick, so it's a decadent and heavy breakfast for sure. The lemon ricotta pancakes were light, fluffy, and bright. I enjoyed them a lot compared to a classic pancake. The breakfast pizza was awesome. Charred pizza crust, topped with hollandaise, good bacon, and few leafy greens to make you feel better about yourself. I enjoyed everything with a fresh orange juice mimosa and thoroughly enjoyed my brunch by the bay.

No wait but moderately busy, restrooms immaculately clean. Menu descriptions are fantastic. perfect customization of a traditional breakfast menu... with traditional items available.. They pay attention to every little detail of your experience. This would be my "never go anywhere else" breakfast place if I lived close to Long Beach. Just go there.

My husband and I had two opposite experiences this morning at Breakfast Bar…read more His eggs were just the way he likes them - soft and fluffy, like the egg whites have been whipped. Pancakes were also very delicious with good flavor and fluffy height. The pancakes had a brown butter topping that he really liked, didn't even need syrup. Sausages didn't seem homemade but were very tasty. I ordered the Eggs Noni, which is a version of Eggs Florentine, plus a side of bacon. The Eggs Noni came on two pretty hard small sourdough discs. I had difficulty cutting through the crust with a knife. There is a lot of cayenne in their hollandaise sauce, not my favorite version. The thick slice of tomato was the highlight. Side of bacon $6 for two measly pieces - overcooked and too crunchy. I could tell the bacon would have been good if it was more on the meaty/chewy side. This came with a potato pancake which was like mashed potatoes mixed with cheese and then fried. Service was okay, I think because it was pretty busy. They may need more staff to help the servers with drink refills and to check in more frequently. Lastly, our table was very wobbly and we had to fix it with sugar packets otherwise our drinks would have toppled.
