We had an great experience at Dirty Pepperoni! Located in downtown Long Beach, it was the perfect choice for us after a night out at Disney on Ice, at the Long Beach Arena. The staff was super welcoming and provided great service throughout our visit. A special shoutout to Lorraine (hope I spelled her name right), who truly went above and beyond to make our time there pleasant. Her A1 customer service and genuine hospitality made such a big difference. The food did not disappoint at all. We ordered a personal pizza with olives and sausage for our baby girl, and it was perfect. She gave it a 29 out of 10 lol! My husband and I shared a pepperoni and sausage pizza with light garlic sauce, topped with a hot honey drizzle and ranch. It was absolutely delicious. Their hot honey has a thicker honey like consistency with a nice kick, unlike other hot honey sauces I am used to that are thinner and more like hot sauce with a honey flavor. I was initially a little skeptical, but it ended up being the perfect addition to the pizza. The thin crust was perfectly cooked and had just the right balance of crisp and chew. We also tried the Linden salad, which was fresh and flavorful, packed with yummy veggies and Canadian bacon. The house rose gold ranch was unique and delicious.Beautifully pink and tasty! We were craving their delicious pizza the next day and only wished this spot was closer to us, but we will definitely be coming back. Only downside was the fountain drinks were out of order this night. But they still had plenty of can soda options as well as a full bar with beer on tap. Otherwise, highly recommend for great food, great people, and a great vibe! They are also open late which makes it a great spot to stop at for food after a night on the town! read more

If you like your pepperoni pizza on the sweet side, then this place is for you. I took maybe 2 bites, one for sure, and instantly disliked the taste. We flagged down the server and she said, " the pepperoni is coated with sugar". Yuck! Ended sending the pizza back and it was substituted with a cheese pizza. After tasting that horrible pepperoni pizza, the cheese pizza went right into the trash can. Definitely not coming back here or recommending it to anybody, unless they like sweet pepperoni pizza. read more

We stopped here for some dinner, we were sat pretty quickly. The dirty pepperoni pizza was so good. The hot honey on top was delicious. I liked the option of fountain sodas. The agave vanilla cream soda was my favorite one out of the two I tried. The Korean BBQ wings were also very good. The inside was nice, kind of a bar style scene and good music. It was a fun relaxing place to eat. read more

Just for pizza 5 stars. Keep thinking about this pizza. I already want to go back!!! Late night vibe poppin. Our waiter was great but the wait time was terrible. Got our wings waaay after our pizza. Our pizza took almost 45 min to get out. Definitely call to pick up. Like most of Long Beach, parking is rough but it's worth it. Dirty Pepperoni Pizza -- it's not grease it's hot honey! Sooo fricking delicious. New York style and the flavor bussin! Between 2 of us there was no leftovers. Buffalo Wings -- big decent size but a little on the dry side (inside the chicken). Sauced down which I loved. Pretty acidic which wasn't for me. Fountain drinks had hella options too plus beer on tap! This a win for Long Beach. read more

Oh boy. I have been wanting to try this pizza place for a hot minute now. Of course I choose a Friday night where it's going to be busy. But that's the fun of it. I ordered a half pepperoni half Hawaiian pizza and an order of buffalo wings. The pepperoni pizza def hit, but the part that got to me was that the dough felt very chewy. Like I had to pull away quite a bit after biting because it just felt.. stretchy & chewy. So the dough wasn't my favorite part. Pineapple does not belong on pizza so I didn't try that side. The pink ranch was cute, I def tasted garlic notes so I kept the vampires away. The wings-- dry as hell. Drrrryyyyy. Like Mojave desert, Death Valley, sand dunes dry. Just looking at them I was like wow. I'm not excited to try this. But here we are. Never reordering. I personally wasn't the one to order and get the pizza to comment on service or the ambiance. It's in DTLB, so go figure, there's 0 parking if you plan on dining in, otherwise throw those hazards on and pick up your order (which is what I did). I do plan on giving this spot a second chance, I'll have to try it in person next time. But as a takeout experience for food--- meh. read more

I come here so often that I can't tell you the last time I WASN'T here. Since I've stumbled upon this place, I've been their #1 fan. Kumari has always been such an amazing server. The service here on top of how amazing the pizza is, is what makes me come back continuously. Kumari is always a breath of fresh air but this time I also met JJ, Mina, and Mo who are also just as amazing! Love this place, the food, and the servers. :) read more

Dirty Pepperoni - Large Dirty pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

A pizza place within walking distance of me? Say no more! Dirty Pepperoni serves up my new favorite calzones and hot honey pizza - and I've yet to try their sandwiches, but am sure I'll love those too. I usually end up asking for a medium Dirty Pepperoni pizza with the pink garlic dipping sauce, absolutely scrumptious. I like that their crust isn't too heavy, and slices pull apart easily. They even have a late night personal pizza for $10 at 10pm. Dangerous, in the most delicious way possible :) Restaurant is located on the corner of Broadway and Linden Ave., which I believe has free parking after 6pm. Inside, be seated at the bar, a table, or the balcony which can be rented for group events. The poured acrylic floor is a fun aesthetic and my favorite thing is how you're able to peek into the kitchen from the outside and watch them cut the pizza pies with a huge blade! I typically order takeout, but have found service here to be phenomenal as well! The last time, they even offered my rescue dog Darby a couple slices of pepperoni (which he was all too happy to accept). Come for lunch or dinner - everything's good! read more

Dirty pepperoni is the newest pizza spot in the DTLB area (which always makes things fun). They are soft opened so everything I mention may change later. The vibe is very city, moto, almost New York (but not with the pizza). There's even a motorcycle parked up on the loft above. The menu for dinner had a lot of things crossed off including salads, their popular sandwich, wings, Mexican coca cola (which is a big hit), and had scribbles from alcohol not being available to having available written. Once a menu is ironed out, there probably will be a beer list somewhere besides looking over at taps. My SO and I shared a medium dirty pepperoni pizza, and each had our own can of soda. The pepperoni on the pizza was great, the hot honey drizzle was a sweet play with the pepperoni. The pizza was thin crust, and cleverly served on a serving tray with tiny holes which I'm guessing helps prevent it from sitting in its own grease entirely. The thing is, even as eaten as quickly as we went after it, it started sagging and folding downwards. The tip to eat this is fast, and to fold it. Seating wise, I believe there's room for 18 in total indoors unless you sit at the bar. The loft above is a no-go. There's two couches to sit at but no tables, so maybe it's a good spot to lounge with a beer. Service for us was quick and sweet. I forgot our waitresses name but she checked in. I did notice that tables finished their entire pints before getting their pies so this may be a point that still has some ironing out to do (growing pains are part of the process). After everything, we still left hungry. A medium super thin crust pizza can go down pretty easy. That makes this spot probably best for lunch IMO. It was $29 with change in total ($22 for the pie, $2.50 each can of soda, and tax). I know the pizza around here is competitive; this price range is difficult for what it is (and it pains me to say this knowing the rent here must be astronomical). Maybe they can figure out a deal with the blind donkey or something, or get a soda machine to make things a little easier. Idk. I may return because the salads actually looked tasty. read more

Learned about this new pizza place in DTLB from fellow Yelpers that I met recently at the LB Yelpies. It opened in October and is still in the soft opening phase. It has a small, focused menu, centered around a very good thin crust pizza. I hadn't taken a long downtown walk in a while, so decided to walk the eleven blocks or so to pick up a variety of items and bring it back for lunch. My wife and her mother agreed: everything was tasty. I arrived a little before 11, and the doors opened promptly. Lorraine was manning the front with the chef/co-owner manning the back. She explained that the ovens hadn't been fully warmed up yet, so would take 20 minutes before they could start baking. Wasn't a problem for me, so placed and paid for my order, re-confirming that it was a carry-out. She warmed up quite a bit as I waited, offering me a complementary beverage (got some fruit infused water) and giving off better vibes for receptiveness of questions. I was admiring the 12 taps built into the backwall, and she pointed me towards the nitro tap that currently spews Modern Times Nitro Cold Brew...pretty sure my wife would love that (with me gravitating towards the cervezas and Blue Moon). The items came out as they were finished, with the calzone first, sandwich second, and the medium pizza last. I had to try a slice of the pizza immediately, and it was excellent: thin crust but solid enough to be crispy in the middle and hold as much toppings as possible. The dough was quite good by itself. Ended up eating another pizza slice before heading off as the world's slowest pizza delivery guy. It took a while to get home, because I wanted to stop by a nearby bakery to pick up their happy hours specials at noon (reconfirming my initial reaction that that bakery is not a place for me). Medium Dirty Pepperoni ($21.99) - really good quality spicy pepperoni, very tasty but not overly greasy (no need to blot out the grease on top with a paper towel)...would be perfect on top of a Detroit style. The crust was still good, but had gotten a little soggy. This is a pizza that needs to be consumed as soon as possible. Dirty Pastrami Sandwich ($16.80) - the other menu item mentioned frequently in reviews. It uses a freshly baked flatbread made from the same pizza dough. It's a well constructed sandwich, with a lot of pickles and banana peppers if you like a lot of vinegar on your sandwich (which I do). The quality and quantity of the pastrami was just OK, though. Calzone with two toppings ($17.50) - made with the same pizza dough, this was disappointing, especially for the price. The dough is better when cooked thin, and has enough heft to support a lot more filling than what this had. Been searching for a really good calzone since my college days, and this wasn't it. There's some good online articles about the trio that are the proprietors. It's a good story, adding to the mystique/origin of locally owned pizza joints and doing a good job of explaining why we should be supporting this business. They don't offer pizza by the slice, so need to bring some friends and have pizza and beer on-site, and devour that great pizza. Note: I carried the pizza box (along with the sandwiches in my backpack) while walking back to my home...got more than one shoutout across the street from local denizens asking for/demanding the leftovers...either word about the quality of this pizza has gotten around or the homeless are becoming even more brazen. read more

Tried Dirty Pepperoni for the first time last night and was extremely disappointed with the service and experience. I was in the Long Beach area and decided to give this place a try that i've seen on tiktok. It was a Friday night around 9PM, not extremely busy inside but a good amount of customers. From the moment we got there it was a little chaotic. Very confusing system of where to order/ ask for a table to dine in or just get some assistance in general! We finally got helped and were seated at a booth table that was very small and crammed (definitely uncomfortable). There was only 1 waitress at the time and she was juggling more than 6 tables, so it was very hard to get assistance from her which led to the service being terrible. Our waitress was very inattentive, we only saw her when she took our order and gave us our food. No check ins at all we were ignored for our whole experience. Once we got our pizza our waitress did not give us any plates to eat with... which was weird because that's usually the first thing they give you at restaurants. But anyways, it was extremely difficult to reach her and ask for plates we had to get up and wait until someone at the bar could get us plates. We also ordered wings, which did not come out until almost 20 minutes after the pizza!!! Seriously ridiculous we had already basically finished our food and were about to cancel our wings but again like I mentioned it was so hard to get any assistance AT ALL!! Also, our waitress completely disappeared after we got our food we could not find her and there was no one helping out at any tables. A while after that a new waitress came in and started helping out people who were waiting to be sat. This waitress was even worse! She was terribly inattentive, rude and just in her own world. There was a table of guys which it looked like she knew and I kid you not she was at their table talking to them for the remaining time we were there. She full on was standing there chatting not doing her job bringing them out free pitchers of beer just hanging out.... Does anyone do their job here? We were not checked on or assisted at all! And it looks like we weren't the only ones, so many other people weren't being helped. Not to mention several people walked out that were waiting to be sat because of how inattentive and unprofessional they were! I've never had such an unusual experience like this. Very understaffed from the looks of it. Please don't come here unless you don't mind the lack of customer service and professionalism! The pizza itself wasn't bad. Very honey forward you couldn't really taste anything but the honey. I'd say a 6/10. The wings were burnt but they weren't too bad. I wouldn't get them again. Very disappointed in the service of this establishment. Extreme improvement is needed this was an awful experience. Definitely will not be coming back anytime soon at all!!! read more

After weeks of seeing this place on TikTok I finally gave it a try. I believe this place is fairly new. I showed up right at opening and a lovely lady greeted me ; who was also the server. Shout out to that lady who worked about 5 tables at a time. There was really good music playing . The booths seats don't have that much space but they give you a city view . So I order an 8 piece chicken wings . I tried to mix flavors but that's not an option so I decided to get garlic Parmesan . The wings are crispy just how I like them but they lacked the garlic Parmesan flavor. They had other flavors that sound really good like Korean bbq .Now the star of the show The dirty pepperoni pizza ; traditional pepperoni pizza with a hot honey drizzle. But far one of the best stone grill pizza I've ever had .I've already made plans to take some friends cause the pizza is phenomenal 10/10 read more

Show this on my IG and wanted to make the drive out here! I was in the mode for a good pizza so i went with the dirty pepperoni with Marinara Sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Signature Spicy Pepperoni, Hot Honey. It was thin crust and very good. Also ordered the dirty pastrami sandwich (Pastrami, Honey Mustard, Pickles, Provolone Cheese, Banana Peppers, Fresh Baked Flat Bread) which was also good. Told them no pickles and they added it anyways. Everything tasted fresh and the vibe of the place is very cool. They have upstairs and downstairs seating. The interior design looks great!

(4 Stars) Dirty Pepperoni - Long Beach, CA (Linden Ave.) Visit Date: March 6, 2026 This was my first time trying Dirty Pepperoni in Long Beach, and overall it was a very good experience. The pizza here is a very thin-crust style, which I generally enjoy. I would have liked the crust to be just a little crispier, but it was still very good. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the toppings were generous. We ordered a medium pizza with pepperoni, jalapeño, and pineapple, and the combination worked surprisingly well together. The ambiance is one of the highlights of this place. The restaurant is located inside a historic Long Beach building from the 1920s that was originally a hotel. The space has since been converted into a few restaurants with a whiskey bar downstairs, which gives the whole place a really cool, historic vibe. It's a unique setting for grabbing pizza. Service was perfectly decent for a pizza spot--friendly enough and efficient. The only real downside is the price. They only offer two pizza sizes, medium and large, and the medium we ordered for two people was just barely enough. The medium pizza with three toppings was $32, a small salad was $11, and a fountain drink was $4.50. The food was very good, but that's definitely on the high side for pizza. That said, I will return. The quality of the ingredients, the thin-crust style, and the cool historic setting make it worth another visit--just be prepared for the prices. read more

So I decided to come and check this place out since it just opened and me and my family like pizza brought my son here for his birthday and the pizza was really good. It's oven toasted thin crust with good flavor, but the wings were no go for me. They were overcooked basically burnt and they just pour the sauce on top of it. as far as the pastrami sandwich that was a no go for me either it's not on your regular sandwich bread it's pizza dough that they make it with and they add ranch dressing on it not a good combo also as for the service it was OK you sit down they bring you your menus take your order and they're pretty fast. They didn't have salad and it's not a full bar and they only had limited beer available. They did tell us it's still in the soft opening process, so maybe that's why.they didn't have all the stuff on the menu . read more

Amazing food! Super friendly service and delicious pizza. Very clean nice staff. tons of outdoor seating.

Came during lunchtime and ordered their signature hot pepperoni pizza. The pizza itself was decent. Nothing that I would actually come back for or recommend anybody. However, the place itself seemed like it would be a cool place to have a beer and eat pizza. Basically what I'm trying to say is what I come back sober to eat pizza probably not what I come to have a beer and a slice absolutely this place looks like it's a cool place to hang out and the Customer Service was welcoming. read more

My friends and I just visited this pizza spot recommended to us in downtown Long Beach. Unfortunately, we were unable to sit inside because there was a big party reservation, but there was plenty of outdoor seating for us to sit anyway! The staff were very nice and did their best to make us feel welcome even when we couldn't sit inside to get the full experience. We ordered the dirty pepperoni pizza in the 18 inch, and it was just enough for the four of us. We each had 3 slices to ourselves, and it was perfect. We got extra hot honey and their special ranch (which is pink!) to go with our pizza. Overall, it was a great experience, and I can't wait to try their other pizza combos! read more

This review is only for their take-out since that's the only way I've had their pizza and salad. Ask for extra sauce if you order to go. The pizza is very tasty, the hotter and fresher the better! Not too bad the day after either. I forgot the name of the salad I ordered, but it comes with deli meats, olives and a variety of other ingredients, which to my surprise was good the day of and the day after. Can't speak on the ambience since again I've only had the pizza to go. read more

Came in to get a personal pizza, pepperoni w/ black olives. Definitely a cool had out spot, beer & wine mainly. The floors are super cool, it's like art. Pound seating vibes, it was pretty busy. The music is like 80's dance music, it was a vibe. The cashier and waiter were very nice. Decent pricing. They have an upstairs area but I didn't go up. My order took about 15mins. I got it to go. The personal was more than enough for me. I love how they gave me a really good amount of black olives. The pizza had a food flavor. Want too thick or too thin. And I loved that the pepperonis were spicy! I wish it was a little less cheese in it though, it was very cheesy. read more

Came into Dirty Pepperoni on the night of Game 6 of the World Series to watch the game and grab a bite, and I must say this spot definitely has potential to become a neighborhood favorite. First off, the space is beautifully designed with warm lighting, a modern look, and a cool energy inside. There's an upstairs and downstairs setup, and even though it was still their soft opening and the upstairs wasn't open yet, you could tell it's going to be a whole vibe once it's fully in use. Service was good and quick, especially for a soft opening. Everyone was friendly and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We started with a Caesar salad. It was solid, fresh, and did its job, but nothing I'd specifically come back for or write home about. From there we split the Dirty Pepperoni pizza and asked for it extra crispy. It did not disappoint. Nice undercarriage with a solid crunch, good amount of pepperoni, and overall a very satisfying pie. But the surprise star of the night was the Dirty Pastrami sandwich. It was delicious and the perfect balance of creamy richness and acidity, super flavorful, and honestly not what I expected to be the standout item. Low key a must order. Overall for a soft opening the vibes and atmosphere were on point, the food was solid, and the service was on it. It's a 4 star spot for now but I'm excited to come back once they're fully dialed in, especially when that upstairs opens up and I can try more of the menu. read more

We ordered the prosciutto and pomegranate seasonal pizza for takeout. The crust was very well made and the ingredients seemed high quality. The prices were high compared to take out pizza but the restaurant (which was closed at the time) looked very vibey and cool! Next time would preferably go in for dine in but I think the pizza we ordered was among the more expensive items on the menu. Overall pleasant experience and will return to try other options and the restaurant again. read more

Dirty Pepperoni - Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Thanks to a great IG food blogger, we dined at Dirty Pepperoni tonight. I literally sent hubby one of their soft opening posts, took my long nap (I'm a nightshift'er), and when I woke up I was told to get ready to eat and this was where we were going! BTW... hubby and I are lowkey on this search for a cool pizza place hangout, so....... Parking is the usual Long Beach get-in-where-you-fit-in kind of situation. We parked in a lot around the corner and it was a 3 minute walk to Dirty Pepperoni. We were greeted right away, and were able to sit at a table within 5 minutes of being there. They have a fairly simple menu, which I appreciate. Good food shouldn't be complicated, right? It's their soft opening so we were told they're not serving alcohol at the moment, they're not serving the dessert pizzas, and they're not serving their by-the-slice menu option. I already knew the twins were gonna order just the pepperoni pizza because they're picky like that, and I was looking forward to trying their seasonal pizza and one of their salads. The twins did get their pepperoni, and we decided on the Linden salad that comes with black olives, red onion, banana peppers, and roasted red peppers and drizzled with Italian dressing. I'm not sure if the dressing is house-made, but it was delicious. We weren't able to order the seasonal pizza because they ran out of Brie cheese and pomegranate, so bummer on that. We ordered the Broadlind, which comes with red and green chorizo, bacon, red onion, and jalapeño. I've never heard of nor had green chorizo before, but it's really tasty! It's more herb-y and veggie-y than the red chorizo because of the cilantro and poblano peppers and such used to make it, apparently. They ran out of their regular ranch, but we were offered their Pink Sauce, which is their take on ranch. I think I heard our waitress say something about dragonfruit was added, I'm not too certain? We received our drinks first, then our salad, and then our pizzas. The hourglass decor on the tables are nice, and they run for 15 minutes. We received our food in a timely manner, according to the hourglasses. The twins made sure of that! The twins thoroughly enjoyed their pepperoni pizza, and they both took turns doing their cheese pulls, a good arm's length! They ate every part of the pizza, too, which can be a big deal. If they eat the crust, it's a darn good pizza! Hubby and I left one slice of our medium-sized pizza. You'd think with all of the chorizo and bacon that the pizza would be greasy, but it totally wasn't. The thin crust was perfect and crisp, when you took a bite the rest of the toppings stayed put, and if you're a pizza slice folder'er type, you can do so without the slice falling apart on you. We ordered the pastrami sandwich to go for my oldest son. He said the sandwich was "very good"! I didn't see any pickles, but I like how they also use banana peppers. Overall vibes were your usual chill and friendly Long Beach standard. There was a good mix of families and couples, everyone seemed to enjoy their food, the waitstaff were friendly and prompt, and every dining space was filled during our time there. We spent about $90 for 4 sodas, a salad, two medium pizzas, and a sandwich. I'd love to come back to Dirty Pepperoni! For a first timer, their food was great, my family enjoyed it very much, and who knows... maybe this could be hubby and mine's new pizza hangout?!?! read more
