I came here for lunch with my son. We were waited on at the counter right away. We ordered the lunch special with salad bar, two topping pizza, and a refillable drink. The service was excellent. We didn't have to wait at all. The salad bar had lettuce and different vegetables and dressings, so it was OK. For the pizza I ordered chicken and mushrooms. The pizza was very dry and it didn't have much flavor. Maybe it was baked too long. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

I hadn't been here in a few years because this sad, musty place was going downhill. But I decided to give it another chance for takeout. This location is now a rip-off. The small sprinkle of pizza toppings left a mostly BARE pizza crust. The pizza does not resemble the menu photo. Beware: Their point-of-sale system has a minimum 20% tip for takeout orders, and tip is also charged on the sales tax amount! read more

Straw Hat Pizza - Minimum 20% tip on takeout orders, and also charged on the sales tax amount! Sneaky rip-off. - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

I was meeting my brother and nephew for dinner and Straw Hat never disappoints. This is a great option if you're wanting a cold , pizza and entertainment for the kids - since they have a small arcade. They can also accommodate parties and have a separate birthday room! read more

Great old fashion pizza parlor! Food is good. Great pizza deals. And coin operated games that provide tickets to keep the kids entertained that wont break the bank unlike those other places where cards are needed to play games. Makes it a perfect place to host an end of season party with your team. read more

Been coming here since I was a kid and quality of pizza is still as amazing as I remember! Good amount of games for the kids to keep them occupied while the parents enjoy some adult bevvys. The only negative thing I could say is, please invest in better prizes!! Clearly from dollar tree or worse :( read more

Straw Hat Pizza - Their Mexicali is my all time fav now!! - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Nothing great about this place. The food was ok and the atmosphere could be better. It's like in a dead zone. The servers were great tho

Pizza thin and crispy wings meaty all good food Unlimited drink refills A few arcade games to keep kids entertained I recommend this pizza parlor read more

So good. Grew up going there as a kid. Brand makes a good pizza. Crust is actually my favorite. Needs a little revamping and maybe merging with another chain and then branching out again. Showcase the salad bar with cheesy bread twists as an adult option. Simplify menu. Add an original side vegetable dish- zucchini lasagna. No carb option. Add flat screens with classic family friendly comedies playing (closed captioned). No more tokens for kids. Playing card. Self serve Refillable Card machines. Prizes from a dispenser by scanning playing card. Expedited prizes. No need to wait for staff to locate your kids prize. Adjacent to the kids games an adult lounge with simple games, electronic tic tac toe built into the tables. Place to have a beer, wine appetizers. So families can eat play games but still be able to see younger kids. Back room for sports pizza parties. Gives restaurant patrons a quieter experience. Small patio with fire warmers. Inviting ambiance. Not closed off. Purchases of over $50. Receive an actual straw hat. (Free Advertising) the original straw hat modified a little bit, so it's actually usable at the beach or gardening, etc. Concept: Similar to In & Out or Krispy Kreme paper hats. Straw hat has a family pizza parlor image that's why people host their sports events there but it would be nice to have Friday date night specials, pizza, and a bottle of wine. All you can eat salad bar. And bring in a more adult clientele. All for now, best wishes AA read more

Pizza crust crunchy lots of toppings games for kids multiple televisions and on Tuesdays on your entire order you get a discount. I definitely recommend this place. First time came with family came back a second time with friends and family. read more

Great pizza spot. I can't believe for all the years I've lived in the area I've never been in here. It's kind of hidden in the plaza next to AutoZone, but the pizza was delicious. The staff was amazing. Definitely will be returning. read more

We love Straw Hat pizza. The spaghetti and meatballs, not so much It used to be great! What happened? Did you just *forget* to put the sauce on it? There was a "little" sauce around each meatball, but that was it! Very disappointing meal. read more

Straw Hat Pizza - Spaghetti and meatballs... they forgot the sauce?? - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

I was craving Pizza after a walk at El Dorado and my bf suggested Straw Hat. I had never heard of straw hat, idk why. But anyways, he took me to try it out and I had searched it up to find it only had 3 stars. I said, "I don't wanna go somewhere with 3 stars." He called me picky and we still went cause I wanted to try it. It seems most of the bad reviews are due to the owner's lack of friendliness. I witnessed it myself after ordering. She wasn't mean or rude, but she wasn't welcoming or nice. The attitude that says, "I don't give a f^ck if you buy from us or not." I expected to wait over 30 min since we ordered wedges and pizza, but they exceeded my expectations. Our order was ready within 15 mins of ordering. It's a family owned restaurant and the interior is clean and big-group friendly. It just feels kind of empty and their interior definitely screams 'nostalgia'. The carpet reminded me of Peter Piper Pizza! Oh, FOOD WISE: 4/5 stars. The pizza was tasty, worth the try. Wedges were okay. Ranch was good. Ketchup was kinda weird. read more

We came to eat here after walking our dog at a nearby park. When we arrived we were kindly greeted by Ms. Debra the owner, which was very nice. The salad bar was good and it contained several toppings to choose from. The place was very clean and waiters were friendly and helpful. Ms. Debra sat and spoke to us and I was happy she made us feel right at home. Pizza was delicious and service was great. I highly recommend this place. read more

What three stars! Pleaseeeee. Fresh friendly and damn delicious. Also the prices you can't beat! Put a pair of old jeans on grabs friend and just enjoy one of the original old time pizza joints with amazing taste and service! read more

Went here to get pizza and wings yesterday since I have never been here at all even though I am always in the area. The pizza was decent and it was lacking crust. The wings however were good. They moist and small. The interior is pretty outdated but the train that circles the dining area is a cute touch. There is also a small arcade for the kids to play with. read more

The pizza was a 6.1, one bite everyone knows the rules. It could have been better if the sauce and the cheese went out to the edge more. And speaking of cheese, could you put some on the pizza? Anyway they have PBR on tap so ya gotta love that. That got 4 stars. read more

Food is alright. Tons of games for kids, multiple large monitors for sports games. My interaction with the staff was brief, but professional. People call it old and worn down. I can tell you as someone who's been at dozens of Midwestern pizza parlors, this place is clean and well taken care of. What this place isn't is some bougie wood-fired pizza place. You get pizza, wings, a salad bar and thats pretty much it. This place is a Pizza Hut from 1989, and I'm here to say I'm 100% all about it. They unfortunately don't have the Simpsons or Sunset Riders arcade games, but I will forgive them for that. read more

Terrible place to dine. The staff at the order desk was rude and the food was marginal. It's unfortunate because we love to support our small businesses and the community. read more

We enjoyed lunch here today. The pizzas were fresh and tasty. The customer service was outstanding! Employees are friendly and knowledgeable. The entire restaurant including the restroom was immaculate. The prices are fair and you get a good amount of food. The lunch specials are 7 days a week. There are video games to play and prizes to win. read more

We've been customers of Straw Hat for years, even making a date night of it (we love pizza)! The pizza is delicious, always hot and fresh out of the oven. There are lots of topping choices, and yes they will do a pizza with two half flavors. Service is fast and friendly. The owner loves and remembers her customers and she loves her business. She works super hard too. Will keep coming back. read more

Food - Not worth the $$$. Salad is always drenched in water. Idk why I'm surprised every time. Not to mention the fact that a salad bar is $9 and one trip only.... Cool. But maybe make your plate big enough for a decent sized salad? Lots of toppings though and dressing selections. Pizza was ehh. Costco pizza tasted better... and was 1/4 of the price. Hardly any cheese too. Service - Person taking husband's order seemed like she would rather be anywhere else. The young man delivering orders was nice though. Asked for 3 sides of ranch and was told only 2 sides are free and we would have to pay for the other one... after spending just over $70. Ambiance - Not much has changed since I was a kid, outdated for sure but I also enjoy that not much has changed. The place seemed clean so I can't complain. Overall - This will probably be our last time here. read more

My first time here and LAST. The staff, specially 2 women, working behind the counter extremely RUDE to customers.

Great place for family with small children. The game room is a fun place for kids to play in with lots of video games!

This is a fav local spot. We always get the California veggie and it's delicious and consistent. The real star of the show is the groovy twists. We get the garlic Parmesan twists and honestly i could eat those alone as my meal. The inside reminds me of a mom and pop pizza parlor. It's nothing fancy but it's great for large groups. We often see local sports team or groups of students here. We love ordering from here! read more

The pizza is Just OK, but the young man working there was doing a great job and I asked his name, I think he said Colton? Great young man, and I'll be back just because of him! read more

Fantastic these gals and their staff work hard !!! This establishment gives back to the community. Great pizza last night for family in town was a break from the Christmas dinners and such. Thanks !! read more

I came here on a Tuesday night at 7 PM for a pizza party. A pizza-lover myself, I was looking forward to pigging out on pizza at a restaurant next to the Grocery Outlet on the southeast corner of Spring and Palo Verde. I guess my expectations were too high that by the end of the night, I was nowhere close to impressed. Our party was in a long, narrow private room to the right of the entrance. The room was brightly lit and had a good amount of sports decor hanging from the walls. Unfortunately, the food and service didn't supplement our party as well as it could have. The salad bar in the back of the restaurant was pretty miniscule in size. You were given a pretty small oval green plate, and there weren't that many salad fixings to choose from. The sneeze guard hanging above the salad bar was constantly swinging like a pendulum, which startled me several times as I was getting my small plate of salad. I almost thought the sneeze guard would decapitate me! The salad was just mediocre...nothing out of the ordinary. I might sound crazy, but I actually liked the appetizers better than the pizza! We had two kinds of groovy twists: one cheesy garlic, the other jalapeño. Pretty good, but not as good and flavorful as others that I've had in the past. I also had a habanero wing, which was supposed to be hot, but it wasn't anywhere close to the spiciness I was expecting. Pizza was in the range of subpar to average. I had slices of the Meat-e-or and the Classic Veggie Master Pizza. The first slice of each was decent, but every slice after that got cold and bland. To fully enjoy the pizza, you would have had to consume it within five minutes of being served. After my third slice (which was about as small as a Round Table Pizza slice), the pizza just started tasting like Domino's cardboard. The service has a lot of room for improvement. Not one employee I saw that night had a smile on his/her face, and I'm not sure they were appreciative of our business with them. When one of the servers who gave us our appetizers came by, he had a facial expression that seemed to indicate he would rather be mopping up bathroom floors at the nearby Pavilions instead...or at least be somewhere not named "Straw Hat Pizza." Everyone else seemed to enjoy the pizza and appetizers, but not much more than me. Overall, I would rate Straw Hat Pizza as somewhat less than mediocre at best. Not a place that I would recommend for a quality pizza party. They have locations all around California and one in upstate Nevada, but having had Round Table Pizza cater for me one time, I'd still go with the Last Honest Pizza without a doubt! read more

Pizza is mediocre at best and customer service from "the owner" is absolutely terrible! There was a discrepancy in pricing (because her worker gave us the wrong price over the phone) and the owner was so rude about it. I totally would've understood had the owner taken the time to explain what happened but instead she was rude and told us we could leave if we didn't like it. So we did. Even if their pizza was good I wouldn't be back with customer service like that. I can tell you our family and our teams will take our business elsewhere! Hopefully the owner learns some manners! read more

Came in 40 minutes before closing Saturday night, and they were very friendly, let us dine in too. We ordered wings and the meat pizza. The wings were ok, typical pizza parlor wings, the pizza was really good, perfectly sauced plenty of cheese.

Owner is very disrespectful, when there was a long hair in my slice, I came in being respectful, the owner started being loud and verbally attacking me, and all the team members are wiping there sweat while grabbing all the toppings with their bear hands and with no hair nets. read more

If I can I'll give this place a 0 star the person working the cash register has a mad face like she hates her job, to top the office the way she comes off makes you feel completely uncomfortable, the food went down. I feel bad for the guy that's was working with her he looked scared of her. She has no customer service at all. I asked her when will the pizza be ready so I can come back. And the way she talks to you is very unprofessional. She threw the box of pizza at me. Not even can I help you with anything else. I wouldn't recommend it here. Take your business elsewhere where they welcome you and not make you feel so uncomfortable. I hope she changes her ways or this way will close because of poor management read more

Terrible service from Denise the BossLady, herself. I do not recommend dining at this location. Went in with my 8 year old daughter and ordered the #1 daily special with 2 water cups. After paying upfront, we served ourselves with water from the fountain drink area. Denise took it upon herself to raise her voice and to point at my daughter's cup-- stating, "No! Poor that out! If you want soda, pay for soda!" So, I kindly let Denise know that if she had a problem to come talk to me first and not to talk to my daughter the way she did. She instinctively denied it and said I didn't do anything wrong. However, her tone was certainly not in the manner you talk to any human being. I do recall the water hinge is on the same dispenser as the Hi-C lemonade and after talking to my daughter she accidentally pressed the dispenser and she didn't know whether it was water or not. So, perhaps separate the water from the fountain drinks to prevent ever yelling at anyone's daughter again. The entire dine in was miserable, Denise certainly doesn't know customer service. My daughter was so uncomfortable and afraid to even eat. Thank you for the traumatic experience. Avoid this restaurant. We need better. read more

Straw Hat Pizza - Denise BossLady - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

What an absolute disappointment of a restaurant. The owners there are greedy and self-centered. They can dish out insults/passive aggressiveness to their own employees better than they can with a simple slice of cheese pizza. Please clean the mats/ floors, as well. And don't just let your staff do the dirty work (literally), please hire a professional carpenter squad (simple green would be the best option) to get all the bacteria and dirt out of the carpet. Thank you and please work on being kinder. read more

StrawHat is our neighborhood life time go to. The employees are really great too. I always order extra pepperoni so I can steal them off the other pieces and no one will mind. They are that good. read more

Came here after work for a quick Wednesdate before I headed home. The service was great and lady at counter who took our order was funny. We ordered the large pizza with 12 wings because there was a coupon for it. Man, did our food come out fast or what??? The service was so quick and the food was perfect. We really liked the wings and the pizza had a great taste. Even the workers kept coming over to ask if we enjoyed our food and whether or not we didn't anything else. I would have given a full 5 stars if it wasn't for the kids running around playing tag and running into our table. Gosh....I guess kids will be kids! read more
