    Brussels sprouts and cheese curds
    Raul J.

    I'm not even a pizza fan like that but this pizza was top notch, the crust was not all dense like other places and I usually throw that part away well not here. It's a very busy place there was a short wait. There's a lot going on but staff is very helpful they are very attentive. I will definitely be coming back here

    large double pepperoni and large fancy cheese
    Ivy D.

    Had to come back to Mooney's Pizza! The service has always been great, even with how busy they get. Everyone has been friendly and attentive during my visits. This time, we tried the Ragu and Potato & Egg pizzas. The Ragu had more cheese than sauce, and it was a little too salty for my taste. The Potato & Egg was creamy with some crunch from the potatoes and onions, but it wasn't really my favorite either. I've had the Fancy Cheese Pizza on a previous visit, and that's still my favorite! I'd love to come back and try some of the other flavors but so far, nothing beats the Fancy Cheese. M

    chicken bacon ranch pizza

    Mooney's Pizza Tavern was delicious! The pepperoni pizza was easily the standout--super flavorful, filling, and the complimentary hot honey took it to another level. The chicken bacon ranch pizza was pretty good too, and the buffalo wings were delicious. I'm usually not a Brussels sprouts person, but damn, those were FIRE. Great service, clean and nice inside, and overall a great experience. Definitely 5 stars!

    Truffle fries
    Don G.

    Went to Mooney's Pizza in Long Beach for the first time, and it absolutely did not disappoint! They use fresh ingredients, make their own dough and sauce, and even brush the crust with garlic-infused olive oil. We ordered a large double-pepperoni pizza, and it was absolutely amazing. The crust had the perfect flavor and texture, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. We also tried the truffle fries, which were delicious, and finished things off with their "custard"--a Midwest-style ice cream treat that was the perfect way to end the meal. The food was outstanding, the service was amazing, and we really enjoyed the old-school pizza parlor decor. There's just something special about a place that gets the classic pizza experience right. I highly recommend Mooney's and can't wait to come back. Job well done!

    BB Banana custard

    We've been anticipating Mooney's pizza for a while, so we were happy to see it's open for business. We came here for dinner on a Thursday night. We made reservations for 7pm but arrived early to see if we could be seated earlier and we had no problems. We ordered a large Supreme pizza to share. It came out piping hot and freshly made. The pizza itself is good, crispy dough, fresh toppings. They were generous with their toppings and cheese. We also got BB Banana custard frozen dessert. My first time ever and it was delicious! Very creamy and velvety like a smooth soft serve ice cream. Service was excellent, our server is sweet and tentative. They seem to be high school students working here which is nice. There were a lot of staff members so service was impeccable. Ambiance is nice, I like the nostalgic pizza joint vibe. Lots of booths and tables to enjoy your food. There's also a front room for private parties if you have a large group. We definitely enjoyed the experience.

    Wings
    Steve R.

    Came here last week with my son, daughter in law and grandson and had a very very dinner. We started with a nicely prepared Caesar Salad and the Bread with Calabrian Chile Honey Butter. I would definitely order both those items again. We also had an order of their wings with Gochujang BBQ sauce which was another winner. We ended up order two pizzas with one being the Ragu that was just ok, and the other being the Fried Eggplant that was very good. To you it off we all tried the Pistachio Custard that was a nice end to the meal. The place does get busy so you may want to make a reservation. They do have a big parking lot but parking can still get tight. As for the staff they are all very friendly and welcoming. They also do a really good job of keeping the place neat and clean.

    I came across Mooney's Pizza Tavern on social media and was excited to try. Of course I went to check the reviews prior to coming in and they seemed a bit mixed. I had a little hesitation however, I just figured I would go for it. I booked a reservation for Saturday at about 2:00 PM. However, it appears that a reservation wasn't really necessary around that time. Please note, we left a little after 3:30 and it did seem to pick up. So reservations may seem necessary later in the evening. Service was really great. Everybody was so friendly from the check-in hostess to our service and everyone dropping off food orders. The food was very tasty and great quality. We got a large pizza half pepperoni and the other half was El pastor. Buffalo wings were so good. I also noticed a lot of comments about it being overpriced but honestly for two beers, buffalo wings and a large pizza was under 70 bucks which was pretty affordable in this time we are living in! Especially for the size of the pizza we got. The vibe and the decor of Mooney's is so cool. It gives me old pizza tavern vibes. Also the turtle mascot is the coolest. Extra props for the Photo Booth. But just a tip, immediately after payment the Photos immediately start and it doesn't seem to be centered, but whatever, it was still really fun. One small comment, we ordered some beers, which were just OK. It seemed a little flat, but I didn't want to bother the server and just kept it. But honestly, the overall experience was great. I would definitely come here again.

    pineapple pizza small

    This review is a little late because I went during their opening in March, oops! Mooney's is good. It's a pizza joint trying to be an elevated neighborhood spot. The decor is classy yet casual. There's a cute photobooth and play area for the kids. As for food, I was super excited to try their Al Pastor pizza, a Mexican-American take on a pineapple pizza. Unfortunately, by the time I sat for dinner, they were out of most of their menu, including the al pastor. I am NOT docking them for points for running out of things on opening weekend. It's so hectic I'm sure, and it's a lot to have to figure out. They were able to make the pizza with pork belly instead of al pastor though. It was pretty good, but honestly forgettable. I also think that their menu is pretty expensive for their portions and offerings. I know they were running low on items, but the toppings were definitely skimpy. I would like to come back to try a couple of more things from their menu, including their extensive variety of beers.  PRO TIP: save room for dessert and get fresh churros from the very nice lady outside at Churros Juquilita

    House Bread
    John V.

    Finally got a reservation at Mooney's and it did not disappoint! For a Wednesday night it was honestly pretty lively. Our rezi was for their dining room which is a little quieter but great for babies/high chairs. To order we got the house bread, cesar salad, and two pizzas: pineapple specialty and regular cheese. Appetizers were on point! Legit cesar salad with fresh dressing. House bread stole the show. Pizzas, we actually liked the standard cheese better! It wasn't super cheesy but went perfect with ranch. BOMB crust. Pineapple sounds better than it is--the salsa just doesn't feel right. Doesn't help that it came out waaay later than the cheese. Lastly custard is delicious. Overall would definitely recommend this place! It can be busy but pizza and menu options are unmatched!

    Meatballs
    Larry N.

    Sacrilicious! "Sacred and delicious" :) Came on Sunday evening . Made reservations of course. Parking was plenty on the lot. When we walked in, the joint was packed. I walked up to hostess and check in. 5 mins later we were seated. I did quick look around, good vibes all around, family time and one on one. Our waitress came, she was friendly, went over a couple things we asked. We decided to go with meatballs for appetizers, salad, double pepperoni with added mushrooms, and I got beer of course haha. Meatballs and salads came out within minutes. Meatballs was great, not too hot. I took one bite of the salad and it was fresh. Beer was cold and tasty. Pizza came in no time, hot like a pie. When I fold the pizza in half it made that sweet crunchy sound that only real pizza lovers know. The taste was delicious, good blend of pepperoni, mushroom and cheese. Of course someone wanted to try dessert too in the end. Put this on your list folks, a must try.

    Caesar salad. Family size
    Monica T.

    Notable things. The service was great. Our waitress was really sweet and nice. The main area was just SO LOUD. We ended up sitting outside and they accommodated that which was great. If you want to sit inside though and are sensitive to loud noises I would not suggest it. I've never had to change seating from the shear amount of noise and yelling before. The food was really good. We started with the Caesar salad which was so so good. Creamy and rich without being heavy. The pan pizza is INSANE. the crust is fluffy and thick and chewy. Absolutely recommend. We got the ragu pizza and added burnt pepperoni cups which is a must. They end up such a nice crunchy texture on the rim. And the ricotta is delicious. The other pizza is a pineapple pastor which is really different. It's sweet and tasty but don't get this is you're feeling something more akin to pizza. It's like bbq pizza with a different twist and sauce. Still good. Just different. The custard to me was nothing special and really I could do without. If you get any red sauce time though, you will not be disappointed. We also tried the meatballs and I wanted to lick the plate clean. The red twice was so flavorful and hearty. Give this place a try if you're a pizza lover. Definitely worth it.

    First time in and came here on a whim on a Friday at 4:30. Happily found some seats at the bar and were greeting by a sleuth of friendly and helpful staff. Since we were going out after and didn't want leftovers, took the advice of our bartender and got a small pizza and an app. Perfect amount. We started with meatballs. Super flavorful but the temp wasn't as hot as you'd expect for fresh out of the oven. Would have loved for them to check with a thermometer before serving, but they were still delicious. Pizza: went with the Fancy Cheese. OMFG! This was incredible and a pizza I will be craving daily. The bottom crust had a perfect crunch when you bite into it and the outer crust, pillowy and a perfect vessel to scoop up a side of their pesto ranch. (Thanks to the staff for that rec too!) The only let down (aside from luke warm meatballs) was my beer glass. For a place that prides itself of beer and being owned by a fellow cicerone (I'm one too), was that the glass was not "beer clean". No, there should not be bubbles on the glass because that's actually microscopic dirt that the beer is clinging to. The space is so welcoming and has a great flow to it. The parking is abundant. Absolutely will be back!

    Ask the Community - Mooney’s Pizza

    Do you plan on getting vegan cheese? Sorry not interested in a tomato pie.

    Hi, Hal Mooney here, owner of Mooney's Pizza Tavern. We don't currently have any plans to add Vegan cheese, but thanks for asking. We're always listening to our guests and future guests and always considering new options!

    Hi I am trying to place an order to pick up, can I email the order? The phone system is not available.

    To the best of my knowledge, they are not taking take out orders yet. You could however sit at the bar, order, and tell them you would like your pizza to go.

    Do you have vegan cheese?

    We do not. But we do have a delicious vegan tomato pie.

    Anything gluten free?

    Yup! Gluten free pizzas along with GF apps, salads and desserts.

    Is dining allowed in the outdoor patio if we have our dog?

    Yep! We love furry friends on the patio.

    Do I need a reservation?

    Yes and no. If you want to avoid a wait, then definitely. If you have time, grab a drink at the bar and wait for a seat.

    Has anyone had the beer can chicken?

    Don’t See Your Question? Ask Away!

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was friendly and very attentive. Everything was fresh and thoughtfully prepared, and it's clear they put a lot of care into what they do. The seating is outdoors in a nice patio area. Inside there is a bakery with yummy looking breads, cakes, muffins, croissants, coffees & more. This restaurant is a great addition to the neighborhood & definitely a place I'll be coming back to! Please be advised that there is little or no parking in their back lot but street parking is available. The yummies inside or worth the seeking a parking space. I recommend this neighborhood gem.

Bakery Review - solid pastries and coffee, but one pastry I had previously and recalled being a stand out, was not great the next time I got it, so what seems like it should be consistently good is perhaps not. Restaurant Review - very fussy table policy...there were at least 6 tables open and they wouldn't seat 2 out of 3 of our party until all of us were there. I get it if you're busy/have a waitlist, but to make us stand there while the table we eventually had sat empty the entire time we waited was a little annoying. Then, at the end of our meal, they told us our time at the table had expired. Really? In terms of the food, it was fine, nothing to write home about. It was more the service that was so off putting. The coffee was cold when served. At the end of the meal our server asked if we wanted desert, and when we asked for a desert menu he just said "Oh, you need to just go inside and look." It could have been worded more appropriately to say something like "We have great pastries and treats inside if you have room for desert" rather than "Would you like desert?", which leads to a dead end since he didn't offer any. And after reading other reviews, I wonder if we would have been allowed to eat those pastries at the table anyway? I'm in the area frequently, but will try other places going forward after these last couple of disappointing visits.

My fiance was genuinely trying to pick something out and wanted to sample a flavor before deciding, but the staff member completely ignored him and made us feel unwelcome. We had every intention of purchasing a good amount to take home, but because of the attitude and lack of hospitality, we ended up only getting a couple of pieces and leaving.

We left disappointed because this could have been such a nice experience.

I will say that I did not enjoy my main course of Porchetta. I felt like it had good flavor, but it wasn't cooked well and the center where the pork belly was supposed to be tender and melting was very tough, chewy and inedible to me. Despite this one dish I really liked the restaurant and I am eager to go back and try something different.
