Very high quality pizza and ingredients, as reflected in their prices. Our favorites are the LBC and the Tie Dye 2.0... Unfortunately they changed the Tie Dye (now called the To Dye For) somehow in the past year and we don't like it as much. Regardless, their vodka sauce is amazing and the garlicky cheezy bread is good too--make sure you get a side of marinara for dipping! So yummy. If you're after a quick, cheap pie, this isn't the place. But if have time, a little extra money, and want some truly delicious pizza, stop in at Speak Cheezy. read more

I got the aka vodka and it was pretty good! I enjoyed the sauce and the crust. I do wish there were more red onions, garlic, and basil. I added the truffle chili oil crisp as a dip and that was not worth it. There's no truffle flavor. The crisp aspect is fine. The food takes a while to come out, which is to be expected. Order ahead if you're hungry. read more

waited 20 minutes for pizza for the lunch special. Finally arrived and it was stone cold. Slice of pizza, salad and drink for 2, $42. Nope, never again. read more

The waiting time is long, very long! Ordered ahead of time and I get there and I still had to wait a lot!

This place is AMAZING to say the least. We came in shortly after they opened and ordered their Margherita pizza. The pizza did take some time but Pete ( manager ? ) let us know the doughs hadn't been thawed enough and offered us drinks in the mean time. Once the pizza came out, it didn't stand a chance. With other pizzas, you usually feel bloated or heavy but this sourdough pizza feels so light. The place itself is nicely decorated, with merch and of course pizza boxes. While the pizza is delicious, Pete's customer service made the experience even better. read more

Me and my wife's absolute favorite pizza spot. Little bit pricey but always well worth it!! Love getting the LBC and the garlic cheesy bread! Food is amazing overall! Would 100% recommend if you haven't tried it already! read more

After hearing about a sourdough pizzeria with alleged NY style pizzas, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical.. but after ordering The Heights pizza we're on board. Admittedly, $25 for a 16 inch pizza without toppings is steep, but we bit the bullet so to speak and the pizza itself is pretty solid. It's labeled as "New Haven" style, which competes with Jersey and NY for the style of pizza you're looking for coming straight from the tristate area. All in all, we haven't explored the full menu, but when you're looking for a pizza fix and you're open to the price, this is a great choice. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Solid neighborhood pizza joint with great crust. The hubby and I'd been meaning to try this place for quite a while but hadn't had the chance until just recently, when we were in the area to visit Flux Art Space across the street. We just wanted a snack so shared a cheese slice, which is always our baseline. We both thought the wood-fired crust was great, but could've had a bit more cheese, especially considering that they have "cheese" in their name. They do offer quite an interesting selection, though, like a purple potato pizza that looked intriguing. We'd definitely like to try more of their stuff! read more

Speak Cheezy - Cheese slice - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

BEWARE! Pizza is extremely delicious you might want to eat a large size all on your own! I have been here a couple times but my favorite has been the truffle shuffle pizza. The flavors are great, the slice of lemon they give you to squeeze on top before eating is like the cherry on top of a sundae. Employees are always friendly and price is great for the quality of pizza! The seating inside is limited so it accommodates small groups of people. read more

Speak Cheezy - TRUFFLE SHUFFLE - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

My husband love picking up a couple pizzas from here on a date night in. It has to be more than one because we can't choose between the LBC and the Brooklyn B. Both are so great! Tip is to get the dill ranch because it makes a great pair. The people are fast, efficient, and very friendly. read more

Speak Cheezy - LBC - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is the best pizza in Long Beach. Crust is bubbly with the perfect mix of crispy and chewy with toppings and flavors that are unbeatable. Classic and unique options are all good so you can't go wrong. Definitely check out the collabs and specials when they have them. Grab a coke and enjoy. read more

Speak Cheezy - Collab with Sonoratown - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Got a cheese pizza this time around and it was pretty damn good. Next time, I'm definitely trying their take on apizza and eating it there. I've had Speak Cheezy as takeout many times and it's always great, but I feel like I'm doing them a disservice by not eating it fresh out of the oven. Stay tuned for an updated review once I try it in house I have a feeling it'll be even better. Also, if you're in the mood for a switch up and a more adventurous pizza, try the truffle pizza it's really good. read more

I had the food to go, it's in a homey looking building. Food was solid, and service was nice. Something about the pizza makes me reminiscent of Chuck E. Cheese pizza, just without the kids and tokens? If that's your vibe for pizza, definitely check it out read more

I didn't think this place was amazing. It's not bad but nothing special. I ordered a square slice, got an LBC to go and some chicken wings. It's all just ok. read more

I live around the corner and decided to give Speak Cheezy another shot so glad I did! I tried the spicy salami pizza slice, and oh my God, it was incredible. As a huge sourdough bread fan, this slice absolutely hit the mark. The customer service was great, pricing is reasonable, and parking was easy. Plus, the place has such a trendy vibe. I can't wait to come back and try more slices. Highly recommend! read more

Speak Cheezy - Spicy salami - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

I crave pizza pretty often and stopped in to get my fix. We ordered a half and half because my partner is vegetarian and we were told the pizzas had to be based off the same sauce so we chose 2 with the same sauce for base but were told the cook in the back said he wouldn't do that combo. We went through that a couple times and found a pair they would make. The dough is made of sourdough which is different but be open minded because it's really good. Pizza was awesome ingredients were good and the ingredients worked well with each other we got half a tie dye and half a spicy vodka meatball as well as half a farmers market salad. The place is small but they have enough seating inside for like 10 people maybe and there's some benches outside. Service was good, kids working were on top of customer service which is one of those things that makes or breaks and experience. Would we come back again... Yes,most definitely. Awesome pizza read more

I never thought I could get NY style pizza like this, without going to New York. This is as good as Joe's in NYC, if not better. The crust, sauce, type of pepperoni, etc. Also the creativity of the different pies he offers. Can't recommend this place enough if you like New York style pizza! I don't normally do reviews but I had to go on and give a yelp review as the 3.9 doesn't AT ALL reflect the quality of Speak Cheezy. Go there! Now! Run, don't walk ;). You won't be disappointed. ;) read more

Excellent pizza, but soooooo expensive. Maybe we will order it when we are feeling flush.

Oh my - sourdough pizza? Say less! Ever since I had sourdough pizza when the COVID-19 pandemic started (in early 2020), I've been trying to find more great sourdough pizza places and had seen Speak Cheezy on my social media feed for a while. I finally had the chance to go during the weekday and here's what I got: - Black garlic: Mozzarella, Black & Roasted Garlic, Black Pepper, Basil, Parmesan Crema. $25 - PUMPKIN HONEY BUNNY They have gluten-free crust, for an extra charge, but I've never had it, so I can't speak to it. My pizzas came out in about 20-30 minutes and was so delicious. But one start was lost because of the price - it is so expensive. They have slices too that you can pick-up - it depends on the day. Pro-tip: Do take-out because if you have a big group, there won't be any space since the inside is very minimal, with no more than 5 benches to sit. It's a hole in the wall place after all, with no frills. Parking is all street and very, very tight, given it's on 4th St. and therefore hard. read more

Found this little gem walking back to our car. Noticed a group walking with a box of pizza so decided to go look for the shop. I love me some Brooklyn style pizza, but theirs is totally different. It's square cuts and looks like it's Chicago style. Note that they only serve this style for lunch. Then it's the thin brooklyn style as the day goes on. We had their Brooklyn Bee slice and a traditonal pepperoni square slice. I learned from Ron that Carino made our Brooklyn Bee which is salami and sausage. Ed is the one that served us and Ron rang up the pizza. I thought that they would just bag up the slices but Ed said it'll be about a minute or two to heat up the slice. I was shocked and thrilled that they did that. Most places do not do that. So that was already another plus for me! Friendly service and heating up my food. We sat at the island wall and Ed served us the hot pizza. When I looked at my pizza i noticed a drizzle of sauce which I thought was just some olive oil (yes some places do that and I do not know why and do not recommend it either). On top was fresh basil. I love me some basil! Anyways, Ed drizzled a unique sauce and I asked him what it was. He said he it was hot spicy honey. Let me tell you, that spicy honey was off the hook! It adds just enough of a kick in your mouth. If I have to add spice to the pizza, it's not pizza to me. The balance of the honey, spice, fresh basil and the crunch of the crust, but soft inner dough was just awesome. It felt like the pizza melted in my mouth. I noticed the bread was uniquely different. Like I said I'm not a Chicago style pizza fan, but the thickness of this bread is surely appreciated. While chatting with Ed and Ron, they mentioned that the dough is not any regular dough. It's sourdough bread. That was a twist that I appreciated. We ate our slice of pie (pizza) so fast that we ordered a whole pie to go. Of course we had to have half pepperoni and half Brooklyn Bee (Salami & sausage). And while we waited, we chatted with Ed and Ron some more. Ron offered us a treat of his special baked, salt chocolate chip cookie. You know when you've had a great meal and then you just want to top it off with something sweet..the cookie did just that. It will make you do a "Perfecto!blowing kiss on your finger tips". We have not had a good pizza in a looong time. We would give it six stars if we could. If you want a great fill of pizza, a sweet treat and friendly service come check out Speak Cheezy. Thanks Ed and Ron for a great lunch experience. We will definitely come back. We will order for a party too! read more

this is solely for the owners. Amazing pizza, amazing service, and hard working people in the front handling all the people , taking orders , answering the phone, and dealing with angry customers. If you were the owner, WHY would you understaff on one of the busiest days ever? You made it so hard for the people in the front taking care of almost everything, unbelievable. They had to do pickup orders, doordash ubereats, people ordering there, just STRAIGHT UNDERSTAFFED. Kudos to the people working today on valentine's, they held it down, specially the blonde guy and then the shorter brunette girl, u guys did great. but you owners or managers made it so difficult for them I cant help but feel bad. read more

Speak Cheezy - people ended up waiting an 1hr+ - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

By far one of the best pizza spots in Long Beach. The sourdough crust makes it unique and the flavor is so amazing. We just had a cheese pizza which is what we usually start with to rate a pizza place we haven't had because you can tell a lot by just a cheese pizza and I was instantly hooked. I def want to come back and try a square slice soon. Wish there was more seating or an outdoor area because you need to eat it fresh so I ate it in my car. Go try this spot read more

Hey yous, we're here on the corner. There's parking in the back or i guess its the side over here. Listen I dunno where you've been getting your pizza from but if you're over here, in this neck of the woods of Long Beach? You're getting Speak Cheezy! Hey i just want a slice, get it right here. I want something unique, get the LBC. I want something different, get the hot honey. Yo, that hot honey, it hits! not spicy at all but that flavor! Anyways get over here, pick up like 3 or more boxes and get going OK? read more

amazing sourdough pizza, I get the vegan cheese with vegan pepp! excited to try their new sourdough bagels soon!

This POA e us super expensive and only serves slice for 4 hours. The location is dead and no customers. I ordered a Sicilian Pie and it took almost 30 minutes and again there is no one in the place at all. I got the lie home and it's burnt in the bottom and after spending a chunk of cash I still tried it. But throw it in the garbage. How can a place charge this much and take this long to cook and still mess it up with no other orders. It seems this street is flying since several stores are out of business and I just it's a matter of time before this place goes!! read more

good pizza. That's all I can really say. We got a pepperoni with two dips to go and it was good. ... It was $40 which was kind of wild for a single pizza and two dips to pick up. Also it was kind of burned!!?? Probably won't return. read more

Great elevated pizza shop. The service is hit or miss but the pizza is stellar in my opinion. I love their style of crust it's airy and crunchy while still having substance and carrying the toppings perfectly. I believe it's sour dough but am not sure. My favorite by fair is the Brooklyn Bee! I am not sure what brand of hot honey they use but it's delicious and adds some actual kick! Price is on the steeper side($30+/pizza) read more

Speak Cheezy - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Decent neighborhood pizza spot in Belmont Heights. It's on the corner of 4th and Termino, nice neon sign, can't miss it. This was my first time here, called in and ordered the Cheese Please. They make you prepay over the phone, seems weird. It was ready in 15 minutes. I found a street parking spot right in front. It's a hole in the wall place, no frills. The kid was nice who gave me the pie. The pizza is good, I'd give it a 3.5/5. The sauce has a decent flavor. Sourdough crust tasted good but was undercooked, same with the cheese. If they kept it in the oven another 3-4 minutes it could have been cooked correctly. I'm down to try it again but I'll ask for it well done. They have a pizza called "New Haven Style" I'll be back to give that one a shot since that's where I grew up... read more

Speak Cheezy - CHEEZE PLEASE 14" $22 - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Speak Cheezy just ruined me for other pizza. The Spicy Vodka Meatball is unreal. Perfect crust, rich vodka sauce with real heat, tender meatballs, and that balance where every bite hits. Easily the best pizza I've had in Long Beach and honestly... maybe ever. I also tried the Buffalo Chicken Ranch, and now I'm stuck because I genuinely don't know which one I love more. They do two completely different things and both absolutely nail it. Safe to say: I'll be back very, very soon (and may never be able to move away from Long Beach now) read more

Last night we ordered two pepperoni pizzas. One with Vegan Cheese, the other with traditional cheese. When the pizzas arrived, the boxes had no indication or markings to indicate which was vegan and which was not. How difficult is it to use a sharpie to mark a box? read more

I really don't like to write bad reviews but with the cost of the pizza I had to speak up. Pizza was so burned on the bottom I could barely eat it. I used to love this place. read more

When we want pizza that is different from the norm here is where we go. Great location and fast service.

I have a gluten sensitivity, but when I found out I can eat this pizza I was so happy as I loveeee sourdough and have been missing it! This pizza is incredible and I keep coming back for the giant pizzas by the slice at lunch time! They also have a silly ranch that is so tasty. Idk how this place wouldn't get 5 stars! read more

I AM COMING BACK!!! I got the AKA Vodka pizza and added the parmesan cream dollops, and it was honestly one of the best pizzas I've had in a while. The crust was exactly how I like it--light, fluffy, and crispy all at the same time. The size of the pizza was perfect for two people, but honestly, I probably could've finished it myself because it was that good. The ranch tasted like dill which I love and it was perfect for dipping the crust. Now I want to try every other pizza on the menu because if this one was that good, I can only imagine how the rest are. I also heard their chocolate chip cookies are really popular, but I didn't grab one this time. Definitely regretting that now, so I'll be back soon to get one. Overall, everything was delicious and it's a great meal to bring on a picnic! read more

Had the LBC, pizza was good. On par with the hype. Nice balance of toppings and flavors. Well done crispy crust. Will be back to try their other specialty pizzas. Not pictured, but also had buffalo wings. Unfortunately they need a bit of work. Rubbery and far overcooked. Excessively seared, and too much char. read more

Visited Speak Cheezy for the first time today to try out the @lbfoodcoma collab pizza, morning glory curry pizza. This was soooo good!!!! Definitely the most unique flavors I've ever had on a pizza and all of them went so well together. But that wasn't even the best part- the crust!!!! OMG the sourdough crust is seriously the best I will definitely be back to try other pizzas just for that. We also ordered the buffalo wings. I didn't love those at all, but I also didn't dislike it. Just okay. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

This place has some of the most amazing pizza in Long Beach and surrounding areas. The deep dish we ordered was a bit smaller than I thought that it was going to be, but honestly it was delicious! The service was friendly, and the workers were so fast paced! The inside was a little meal for a pizza of this quality, though. I recommend making sure you call ahead and order so it doesn't get overcrowded in there. Keep it up guys! read more

Son got two pies for takeout. The dough is well made, has a nice chew and stayed crispy for the drive home. The pepperoni came with hot honey drizzle all over , I liked the larger slices of pepperoni than the usual tiny disks. Basil scattered over the top was a nice addition. The margherita pizza was equally good. Added anchovies to this for a bright contrast. Each large slice is enough to eat folded up and still keep all the drippy sauce in. Came with a small container of Calabrian chili oil, which is another pop is spice. Pricey but definitely delicious. No trouble ordering or picking up. They also quickly responded on social media when the son asked how to reheat. read more

Had time to drop in for a slice, it's been too long! Had the tie pie slice, truly amazing. Lovely service, they were creating content for social media, the pizza looked great! The sourdough prevails. Forever! Pizza was the perfect amount of crispy chewy and the toppings were lovely, fresh ricotta on top and fresh pesto drizzle. Thoroughly enjoyed this visit. Space is always very clean and welcoming. read more
