    THE LBC
    Danica

    Randomly stumbled upon Speak Cheezy in Long Beach and so glad we stopped in. They specialize in sourdough pizza and it shows. Got a slice of the LBC - mozzarella, pepperoni, fennel sausage, ricotta, garlic, oregano, and parmesan, and it was really good. The crust was perfectly crunchy, the toppings were generous, and every bite had so much going on in the best way. The combo of fennel sausage and ricotta especially worked really well together. Interior is fun and casual, and staff were friendly. Solid spot if you're in the area, would definitely go back to try more slices!

    Truffle Shuffle
    Crystal G.

    I had high hopes for this place after seeing a few videos on Instagram recently. I tried their truffle shuffle and it was decent at best. I feel like this place has a ton of potential to be super cool if they just live it up a little bit by even playing a little music. The inside decor of the place was really cool, and the customer service was pleasant. I did notice that they have like a little pick up window. Where perhaps you could grab a slice and go versus going inside. Parking is on the street and free. If you're unsure about trying this place, I recommend going during lunch for their lunch special but to buy a whole pie I don't know if it would be worth it unless you're sharing with people

    Bloomsdale Slice (white sauce base with a pesto drizzle)
    Jay S.

    I have to say, this is probably the worst slice deal in America (and I've eaten a lot of slices at a lot of places). With tax and tip each slice came out to a little over $10, in this economy?! However, their full Pizza prices are in line with what you would expect from a place like this, so this is probably a place I would only recommend coming if you want a whole pizza. It does have a very cute ambiance and it's a bit of a cozy location with not a ton of seating, but it gets the job done. I was also a little disappointed because of the hype around the crust, it really didn't taste that unique, but one of the pizzas I had was very flavorful (the Truffle Shuffle). I really regret not getting the vodka slice because the gentleman at the counter said the other option was better, but I've heard very good things about their vodka pizza from others. At some point I would like to come back here and give this another try, maybe in a group setting and getting a whole pizza to-go. I also heard their ranch is very good, but I forgot to try it this time. Food: 3/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 1/5 (for slices) Overall: 3/5

    Long Beach's cornerstone pizza shop that has a lot to say and definitely here to stay. It proudly boasts a finely tuned sourdough, perfecting the crust and overall feeling to the dough. Throughout every visit, they've hit all the marks when it comes to different types of pies and each experience was consistently awesome. Offering more than just slices and squares, theres always something for someone. I recommend any of their hot honey or burrata pieces as it's my favorite combo but that veggie mushroom pizza is another level too. They always are quick with orders or heating up slices but i do recommend calling in when busy. Stepping in always feels like getting a classic pizza shop experience with big city quality. People are free to enjoy their slice and just hangout in or outside. The weekends are almost movie like with a friendly neighborhood vibe that will reel you in.

    Great pies, definitely advise the spicy vodka.. crust was so thick too! Staff were super friendly and quick to take my order. Loved hearing their recommendations too

    Ordered a Detrot and got a loaf of bread:( As a native of southeast Michigan, I consider myself a Detroit pizza expert. As such, I've been looking for a local joint that can come close to replicating Buddy's or even Buscemi's pizza. Another strikeout here. Best so far is Ria's in HB and my own kitchen, of course.

    Brooklyn Bee
    Sally W.

    Yes, please, thank you, and may I have another? Speak Cheezy is everything good about pizza and definitely one of the top pizza shops in Long Beach for a reason. I ordered the Brooklyn Bee. The crust was incredible, and the ingredients used were delicious and well balanced throughout the pie (including the hot honey - yum!). I ordered online for an easy breezy pickup. The hardest part is just finding parking when it's peak hours.

    Shave ice too

    Pizza and carb lover conosseuirs (can't spell this word, sorry) unite!!! If you have an addiction born out of the COVID lockdown, you can visit this place that makes this carb for their pizzas. I got the LBC (Long Beach City) pizza and the smell alone was heavenly. Crispy crust with that bubbled crust and thin slice of dough baked to perfection and not overloaded with toppings(unless you want to add extra toppings), this was very good. The kicker are those cups of pepperoni which are a cardiologists nightmare but a pizza lovers dream on top. Service was quick even though most people seemed to have called in their orders ahead of time(smart) and I was informed it would be a 155 minute wait for my pie, I didn't mind. Ambience is pretty much grab and go although there is bar stool seating and 2 tables if you want to eat in the shop. All pies are 14 inches in diameter and, as mentioned before, you can always add toppings to your pies if you want. A little on the pricey side, but you can't mess with quality as their dough is formented for 4-5 days (?) and the quality ingredients can't be beat. Parking is limited with a small lot in the back and street parking. Credit/debit only, no cash. Oh, and they also sell shaved ice too. Slices are available, but limited to what they offer that day, so be flexible with your menu choices. Happy eating!!

    SPICY VODKA MEATBALL
    Jasmine M.

    Hands down one of the best pizzas in the area. This pizza is so unique and I'm obsessed!! As a spicy vodka rigatoni pasta enthusiast, I gravitated toward the Spicy Vodka Meatball and the sauce is incredible. The mozzarella pairs well with the spice and the every topping balances each other out. It is a bit pricey but honestly I think it's worth it! You can't find a pizza like this anywhere else Although I've only been here a few times, the workers are always nice and good vibes! They even help me narrow down what I should get when it was my first time.

    Music is great, some seat available and the service is great. The pizza its self is fantastic, can't go wrong with a pepperoni here. Shoutout to the cooks in the back and the Owner!

    Is there indoor seating?

    Yes, a few seats are available at their 2 tables.

    Do they sell plain cheese pizza or plain cheese slice?

    If you look on their website (or ToastTab) you can see all the pizza options, including cheese. Not sure about slices since I've only ordered whole za's.

Might say I'm doing too much, but when you want something, you just got to get up and do it. I love their chicken wings, especially the Dynamite wings, my number 1 picked for flavor. They have pretty much everything, not just chicken wings, so check them out and explore their menu. Big thanks to aka Candie and her team for the great customer service. Very friendly and easygoing. Was very helpful when asked about their menu or popular items of the day. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Main: 1. 15 pcs Chicken Wings (5) Dynamite Wings (5) Smokin Spice Wings (5) Jalapeño Peppers Wings Cook fresh upon ordering to give that satisfaction taste. What can I say? Expectations met and satisfied. Their freshly cook when ordered to deliver that crispy flavorful wings are out of this world. Im more of the dry-rubbed type of guy cause I'll do the moisturizing with their ranch dipping on the side or extra sauce of your choice upon request. IYKYK! I definitely recommend this location due to their outstanding customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is limited, so best to come during non rush hour. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY!

    I was deciding on lunch with the fam and my aunt recommended SoCal Wings. After browsing their…read moremenu, I was sold and placed a phone order. Our order consisted of four SoCal fries (which are basically buffalo fries from The Buffalo Spot with a drizzle of cheese and ranch), a 10-piece nugget, a small fry, a large order of mozzarella sticks, a Thai tea, and a few sides of sauces. To speak bluntly, the experience turned sour for me as soon as I started placing my phone order. While I was ordering sauces, I was rudely cut off by the man working: "Yeah, yeah, anything else?" I felt like I was being rushed off the phone, even after mentioning it was my first time ordering and kindly asking questions about their sauces. The customer service here just overall gave me the ick. Anyways, onto the food. I was super excited for my SoCal fries. They have a variety of sauces to choose from, and I opted for the spicy BBQ. On first impression I was surprised with the generous portions. I ordered a small Socal fries that looked more like a medium. As soon as I dug into my meal, I was met with immediate disappointment; the popcorn chicken on my SoCal fries was extremely stale. It tasted as if they served us three-day-old fried chicken that had been left sitting out. My siblings and mom also agreed the chicken was super hard. I ended up just eating some of the fries and threw the rest away. Before tossing it, I tried drenching the fries in their Cajun sauce (which is over $1 per sauce, btw), and even though I really wanted to like it, it had a weird aftertaste. On top of that, I just couldn't get past how hard the chicken was. The Thai tea, fries, and mozzarella sticks were just decent. I'd also like to mention that when I was placing my order over the phone, the man said my total was $67 and some change. When I paid in person, the total somehow jumped to $83.69. I assumed that included the Cajun sauces I ordered over the phone, but it actually didn't. I ended up paying a second transaction for the sauces, which was around $8. Had I possibly been charged for the side of attitude I was also served? To reiterate: the service here sucks. Overall, I won't be back as the quality doesn't match prices. You'd think that a joint that specializes in fried chicken and wings would serve fresh chicken but on the contrary, my chicken was inedible, gross, and clearly old. I love supporting local businesses, but I refuse to support a place that exhibits rude customer service and serves subpar frozen food that I could throw together at home. I don't recommend this spot as there are much better establishments in the area.

The fried rice was ok not the best but it did its part. I would also recommend their lemongrass ranch that's a great dip and would have bought some to go if they started to bottle it. 3.5 out of 5 would give it a rating and would come back if I was in the area

The staff are soooooooo nice. They take the time to ask her preferences and encourage me to be adventurous like giving me a side of the spicy sauce that I was initially hesitant to try. (the spicy sauce is definitely on the more spicy side, but just shy of covering up all other flavor) Ordering ahead on the phone is pretty easy since they don't have a super extensive menu. If you are in a hurry and you are ordering wings, all ahead. The wings are made to order and they come out so crispy and so juicy (but hot!). Some wings you get for the combo of the sauce and the chicken, these ones I find myself ordering the crispy original because I get to savor the crunchy with the beautiful umami of the chicken and it is not at all bland. If you order when you arrive, the kimbap is ready in about 5 minutes, but the chicken take maybe another 5-10 mins. Last time I went I also got kimchi fried rice (literally didn't know it was on the menu because I have tunnel vision on the wings). It's a smaller portion than some, but the flavor was so big (rich flavor and spicier than most I've tried). It was the perfect dish for being sated but not overstuffed.

Since the food is prepared fresh it was about a 15 minute wait. Rumpo gave me the number so i could call ahead to order next time. When my order was done everything smelled great. He even through in a lemon pepper drumette to sample and get me hooked :-). There is no where to dine there but, i was taking it home anyway. When i got home the chicken was still piping hot and seasoned well. The fries were hot too. They use Hawaiian rolls, i like that!! i give the chicken combo a 10/10. The shrimp fried rice was sadly disappointing. there was alot of rice. it was dry and lightly seasoned if at all. i had shrimp at home that i sauteed and added to the rice. My usual spot gives the same amount of rice and i have shrimp in just about every bite! the price is a couple of dollars less too. the shrimp fried rice is a 5/10. would i go back, yes because the chicken was good and Rumpo was very charismatic. All the reviews speak about Kathy. perhaps she was the cook when i went. I had no interaction with her.

    The music is insane here, I can't hear myself think, and I can't talk to my cohorts. Not sure what…read morethe deal is there, it's a dance hall in here, but otherwise the food is pretty good. They have a variety of flavors and heat levels, and their buffalo fries were a good price for the amount. The service was good, although we had to repeat ourselves a lot and get really close to communicate due to the music, but we left full and ready to bust a move on the dance floor. :P

    I wanted to like Fire Wings more than I did. The flavors had moments, but the chicken was fighting…read morethe whole order. I got the 40 Pack with Saigon Street, Korean Kick, Peking and Cali Rub. Sauce coverage was good, but the wings themselves tasted overcooked. I can forgive to-go wings losing some crisp, but the meat itself was tough, chewy and dry. That's the part you can't sauce your way out of. Saigon Street was my favorite flavor. It had the Vietnamese fish sauce wing profile I wanted: savory, a little sweet and solid overall. I would've liked more tang, but I'd order the flavor again. The problem was that almost half of that batch were tiny overcooked flats with barely any chicken on them. At that point, they're basically saucing bones. Korean Kick was solid: sweet with a little heat, pretty much what I expected. Classic thick Yangnyeom profile without blazing spice. Cali Rub reminded me of a BBQ-style seasoning, but there wasn't enough rub on mine. Smoky, sweet and it works well. I actually enjoyed this one a lot, it just needed more rub. Bomb flavor, light execution. Peking was my least favorite. It was edible enough, but it tasted more like char siu than Peking. Deep red, thick, sweet-savory and missing the plum-style tang I expected. Basically char siu that never saw the fire. If they called it char siu, I'd probably have fewer complaints. Calling it "sweet and sour" just made the missing tang stand out more. The seasoned fries were rough. They're that battered, seasoned dredge-style fry, similar to Rally's or Checkers, so they're already on the oily side by design. Enjoyable for a few bites and that's about it. The garlic noodles had a really good chewy texture, but they were dry as hell and the garlic was missing in action. I mostly tasted parmesan and parsley more than anything. Great chew, no garlic, no moisture. For dipping sauces, the blue cheese was okay. The honey mustard leaned more savory, almost like Chick-fil-A's Honey Roasted BBQ packet, instead of bright, sweet and tangy. Not really what I want from honey mustard. Veggies were fine: thick cut and crisp. Pickup was fine, but the location is annoying if you're just trying to grab food and go. You have to park in the structure and pull a ticket. First 90 mins free if you wanna walk around or dine in. Overall, Fire Wings has good flavor ideas, but this order had too many execution issues. I'd still consider trying it again because some flavors worked, but the chicken needs to meet the sauces halfway.
