Even if you're averse to spicy food, I'd still give it a try. I appreciated that they had vegan options as well and the Cashew Mozzarella Margarita was quite tasty.

Stopped by after an event at the Long Beach Convention Center on a Saturday afternoon and had a…read moregreat time. We ordered the Buffalo Bill and Night of the Chicken Dead pizzas. Buffalo Bill had that perfect spicy, tangy buffalo flavor with the vinegar acidity you want from a good buffalo sauce. If you like heat, definitely try it. Night of the Chicken Dead was creamy, garlicky, and loaded with chicken. We also tried a few of their non-traditional cocktails and the deep-fried cinnamon balls for dessert. The cinnamon balls have a warmer spice profile with noticeable nutmeg/allspice flavors. The atmosphere is basically punk-rock bar meets horror pizzeria, and that's part of the charm. Stickers and artwork everywhere, loud punk music, cocktails, pizza and a very casual downtown Long Beach vibe. Just know that the music is LOUD, and the restaurant can run a little warm during summer with the pizza ovens going. First-timer tip: When you walk in, get in line first. That's where you order both your food and cocktails. Seating at the tables and barstools is first come, first served. Great spot if you like horror, punk rock, good pizza and places with some personality.

The last 3 times I've tried to go order pizza it's been two hours ahead of close and they have told me "we aren't taking anymore orders." It's the same on the website. It's currently 9:11pm and it says they close at 11:30p. 'Oh well we stop serving food, but you can buy drinks.' Buddy, it's not a fucking bar. You sell seltzers and boutique beer. Wtf? And they look at me like I'm crazy for wanting to order a pizza in a pizza joint. So disappointing, but here I am again wondering why THE FUCK there isn't a single decent pizza joint open in Long Beach past 9 fucking pm. "Oh well Dominos and Pizza Hut are open..." fuck you. Some of us have taste buds. /rant EDIT: so apparently the owner is a dipshit who doesn't know how to run a Yelp account either because I don't post the hours. Even still, not taking pizza orders at 9:10pm when you close at 11? Yah I'm the idiot. And yes, it has been over a month since I have been physically in the location, so cool. That's my fault for trying to give this place yet another chance. What an asshole I must be to try and order pizza from a pizza joint. Congrats on being a bar now, I guess. Cuz that's the important party of being a pizza joint, right? But hey, at least you got your dumb little joke in. 'Be gone. We banish thee.' Loser, poser.

Well asked for it to be welcome and perfectly it came out. Our main was Pappardelle with short rib and the lemon chicken. Unfortunately the mains were pretty cold. Small blame on the kitchen. Here is how my experience became a WOW. My server NASTASSIA was the reason my night was perfect. She was so understanding and empathetic about the cold food. She immediately asked what she could do to make it better. She requested a new dish to be fired up. New pappardelle came out perfect with another side of mashed potatoes. She once again asked blue the food was and if we're were happy. She also informed the manager of our experience. She came over and also apologized and offered my wife and I dessert. My wife picked the bread pudding. Overall I am a BIG believer that employees are the reason for the success of a business. More employees in the world need to be more like Natassia. THANK YOU

If you're searching for the perfect slice in Long Beach, look no further than Catalano's Pizza. This has been a beloved staple in the community. I have been eating pizza from this spot since I was a little kid and the quality and deliciousness continues today. From the moment I walked in, the inviting aroma of freshly baked pizza always nostalgic and yummmy! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff greeted me with genuine smiles and old-fashioned customer service that made me feel right at home. It's refreshing to see a place that values personal connections alongside their culinary creations. Now, let's talk about the pizza--specifically, the cheese. Catalano's cheese is nothing short of exceptional. The blend they use is perfectly balanced, creating a rich, creamy texture that melts beautifully over each slice. It stretches just the right amount, making every bite an indulgent experience. Whether you're a cheese lover or just someone who appreciates quality, this cheese will undoubtedly have you coming back for more. ! read more

I agree with the review below me by Gem M. You're pizza is amazing! Although when I have visited in the past the younger oriental female was not so happy, she lacks customer service. Maybe it's something to think about before hiring people like her. I have also previously visited and your employees have several friends whom hang around the counter and it is really hard for my family and I to enjoy our stay. The owner is awesome!!

Wow! I just stumbled upon this place and decided to try a slice because I came by the 99 cent store for hummus snd didn't want to park in their spot without buying something. I was pleasantly surprised. The slice was piping hot, cheesy and the sauce was delicious. The crust had a nice crunch and wasn't too bready. Obviously family owned. Please support this awesome little local spot during Covid The customer service was friendly and easygoing too but still prompt and helpful. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This spot is home to the legendary 28-inch "Monster Pizza." While I was very tempted to order such a gargantuan pie, I opted for the slightly smaller 20-inch "Super Jumbo," given the size of our party. We ordered it half-and-half: the Saint Patty (pesto base, spinach, green olives, green peppers, pesto chicken, and banana peppers) and the Meat Lovers (pepperoni, sausage, ham, and salami). Though not the largest size available, the sheer scale and generous portions of the circular pie still fascinated our guests. We also added an order of Buffalo wings with ranch dressing. Both the pizza and wings were OUTSTANDING and something I would gladly order again. On my next visit, I plan to go all out and try their Legend Pizza to fully impress the guests, as they say, "Go big or go home."

I immediately contacted the business via email and received a call from one of the owners (Heather- my apologies if spelled incorrectly)- she apologized and said the next Pizza is on me- just call/text when you're ready- I informed her- I can't pick it up- she said- no problem we'll deliver it to you in San Pedro. I could've ordered the identical pizza as before "8 inch Hot Honey Pepperoni with Sausage"- but she said I could order a 12" or 16"- I told her a 12" is fine and I don't need the Sausage added onto the pizza- I wanted to enjoy the Pepperoni by itself- bonus Pepperoni was the mini/cup size (my favorite).
