The food came out rather quickly. The prices are OK. The place is a bit rundown though. One doesn't stay for the ambience. One gets his pizza and leaves.

Feb 9- It's National pizza Day today!!!!!…read more For pizza lovers here, we had to have pizza for lunch on this day. There was nobody in there, just us plus the lady behind the counter. We got our NY special order - Ricotta Cheese & Meatballs. The beverage fridge was near empty with a few bottles of water and 7-ups. The lady let us know they didn't serve water. The soda vending machine looked broken. All red flags that they are not investing more into this business. Which is VERY SAD! The pizza was great. Not quite NY but still a great pie for being in a strip mall in Artesia. I hope they don't close shop. I hope they care a little more, advertise a bit and draw up some business bc their pizzas are definitely good. Pricing is ok. The large pizza (8 slices) with 2 toppings = $26.52. Recommend 7/10 - hoping the owner puts a little more heart into the environment and promotions to sell pizzas.

Thunderbolt Pizza in Long Beach has become my go-to pizzeria. After trying a wide range of their…read moremenu, two dishes stand out above the rest: the Pizza Margherita and the Garlic Knots. Pizza Margherita - 5/5. This is a perfect example of the care and craft that go into their food. The crust strikes a rare balance - it has that signature leopard-spotted char and slight floppiness you'd expect from a Neapolitan-style pizza, but also delivers the chewiness and airy structure of a great New York-style slice. It never tips too far into being overly crispy or dry. What really sets it apart, though, is the sauce. While many pizzerias treat sauce as an afterthought, Thunderbolt clearly does not. Their tomato sauce is rich, vibrant, and juicy, with a depth of flavor that avoids being overly acidic, salty, or tannic. It enhances the pizza beautifully without overshadowing the dough, which is exactly how it should be. Garlic Knots - 5/5. - Easily some of the best I've had anywhere in LA. These are essentially bread rolls with a super chewy interior and a thin, lightly crusty exterior, served alongside their excellent marinara sauce. They're incredibly satisfying and consistently a crowd favorite. I've brought visitors from Japan, Germany, and New York, and every single one of them couldn't stop talking about these knots. My only small critique is that I wish they had used fresh garlic instead of canned, which would have taken them to an even higher level. Still, even as they are, they're outstanding. Overall, Thunderbolt Pizza delivers thoughtful, high-quality food that stands out in a crowded pizza scene. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to--not just because it's good, but because it's consistently memorable.

I've never tried the gourmet pizzas here. The Tandoori was highly reccomended. But, I felt like a…read moresimple pizza with mushroom and pepperoni. I ordered by phone and service was friendly and I was given 15-20 mins for a pick up time. The pizza definitely doesn't top my favorite spots. The crust was good, but the pizza itself was so greasy and there just wasn't enough sauce. I may be back to try their gourmet pizzas, but I'll definitely skip this spot when in the mood for a pepperoni pizza.

It travels so well, the crust is still nice and crunchy when it gets home.

We saw the pictures and we read the reviews and thought this place sounded amazing and it was a…read morevery close 10min walk to where we were staying. We ordered a half and half pizza online for pickup and spent over $30 for pizza and a 4oz container of ranch. They told us it would be about 20min when we ordered so we got ready and left. We got there probably 15min after we ordered and grabbed two cokes while we waited. I tried to pay with cash and was told he might not have change to give me. I said that was ok even though it's pretty lame that you don't keep change in your register. He happened to find a very large coin bag and made me change. We were sitting right at the front and you couldn't miss us. They asked us a few times what our name for the order was and we told them the same thing every time. Finally after about 10 min they asked us for the 3rd time what our name was and then walked away. We could hear someone say "the order for Kymmy didn't leave they are here" or something along those lines. We kind of just looked at each other. The guy that rang us up came over and said, "sorry something happened to your pizza it'll be another 20min or so". At this point we had already been waiting about 15 min for the pizza. So we said ok because we were starving. One of the employees asked us if we drank wine we said no we didn't and that's why we were drinking cokes. He said, "ohh, okayyyy..." and gave us a very judgmental look. Like sir, you don't know why we aren't drinking. We also kind of figured he wanted to give us a few beverage for the mix up. But that was the end of it. We heard someone say our name and we asked if ours was ready and one girl acted like we were being impatient while waiting. Like we didn't just wait over a half hour for food. Finally our pizza was done after a total of 40 min and there was very minimal apology for the delay. We took it back to our hotel and we were so excited it smelled so amazing and it looked so good. I cannot tell you how disappointed we were when we took our first few bites. It was not that great. We had ordered pepperoni and the veggie pizza. We ate half of it because we were starving and very quickly regretted it. It made both of us super sick on top of everything else Needless to say we won't be back here and won't be recommending this place either

Great little neighborhood spot to enjoy a slice!…read more Fresh ingredients, great dough amd the slices have that slight crisp on the bottom like they are supposed to! Everyone I've encountered here behind the counter has been friendly. There is usually a great mix of locals when I come here too. You can get a slice and a soda for $5.00, a slice and a pint for $10. They have other really affordable combos too. Come by amd see for yourself. Please note that this place seats abput 12 so if you are ordering multiple pizzas for the whole family you may want to get them to go. Plenty of free parking too which is nice.

The food is amazing every time -- fresh, consistent, and always hits the spot. You can tell they care about quality and their customers. The place itself is on the smaller side, so it's not really somewhere I'd plan to dine in unless you're solo or just stopping by for a quick bite. But they usually have games on while you're waiting, which is a nice touch. Overall, great pizza, great people, and a spot I'll keep coming back to every week.

I usually go to the Valentino's at the Traffic Circle and honestly didn't even know there was a…read moreLakewood location, so I was excited to try it out. I ordered an 8 piece pepperoni Detroit style pizza, but unfortunately it was a big disappointment. This pizza was nothing like the one from the other location. The bread was way too thick, and there was noticeably less cheese and marinara on top. The worst part was that the pizza was burnt; not just slightly charred on the edges, but really burnt. Even the pepperoni was burnt, which completely ruined the flavor. I picked up the order through Uber Eats since I was using a gifted voucher, and the box was sealed, so I didn't realize how bad it was until I got home. I didn't have the energy to drive back and complain, so I reported it through Uber and thankfully received a full refund. The only reason I'm giving this place two stars instead of one is because the staff was kind. However, serving burnt pizza is unacceptable. I would've much preferred being told the pizza was burnt and given the option to wait for a fresh one. I wouldn't have minded at all. Unfortunately, this experience makes me hesitant to return to this location.
