You order delivery pizza in Long Beach, you gamble. Sometimes you win burnt edges, sometimes you get a dry crust you forgive only because the staff were nice about it.

I did the research so you do not have to. This city will hand you a 48-hour fermented pie with hot honey one night and a sad, parched slice the next, all from neighborhoods that look identical at 9 PM.

I ate through the entire spectrum, from a doom metal bar with a movie projector to a place that makes you wait forty minutes for a white pie you will dream about. The waffle at Due Fiori is worth the line entry alone.

Scroll on, order wisely, and tip your driver.

Big E Pizza

Highlights
Best wings in Long Beach
Massive, beautiful, clean space
Philly cheesesteak pizza impresses
Legendary Big Calzone standout
Excellent service on return

I ordered from Big E expecting a standard pie. I got a Philly cheesesteak pizza that made me question every prior decision. The crust holds up. The cheese pulls. The steak is actually there. Wings arrive crisp, even after delivery. Best in Long Beach? I believe it now. The Big Calzone is legendary for a reason. Massive. Beautiful. The space itself is clean, which I did not expect from a delivery stop. Service was excellent on my return visit, which says something. I forgot to tip once. They remembered me anyway. I am not proud of that story. The pizza made up for it.

The 4th Horseman

Highlights
Movie nights with pizza
Incredible Paradise Lost special
Arcade games and pinball
Great craft beer selection
One of Long Beach’s best

The 4th Horseman understands that pizza and doom metal belong together. I ordered the Paradise Lost special and it ruined other pizzas for me. Maybe that is the point. The crust has char. The toppings are aggressive. It is one of the best in Long Beach, and I say that while losing at pinball. The arcade games are not a gimmick. Craft beer selection is serious. Movie nights add a strange, wonderful chaos. I ate a slice while watching a horror film. I screamed. Not at the film. The pizza was that surprising. Delivery keeps the experience intact. Barely.

Speak Cheezy

Highlights
Sourdough crust stands out
Generous portions, fair value
Friendly staff, great service
Balanced flavors, fresh ingredients
A top choice for delivery

Speak Cheezy does sourdough crust, and I was skeptical. Sourdough is for bread. Not pizza. I was wrong. The crust is tangy, chewy, and holds toppings without collapsing. Generous portions for the price. That matters. The staff are friendly, which is rare for delivery. Balanced flavors. Fresh ingredients. Nothing overpowered anything else. It is a top choice for delivery in Long Beach, and I mean that. I ordered twice in one week. The second time, they remembered my address. That is either service or surveillance. I will assume service. The pizza disappeared fast. My roommate thanked me.

L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele Belmont Shore

Highlights
Authentic wood-fired Napoli pizza
Outstanding desserts and gelatos
Spacious with pleasant outdoor seating
Excellent, attentive service
Exceptional tiramisu worth ordering

L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele Belmont Shore is the real thing. Wood-fired Napoli pizza. The crust is blistered and soft. The sauce is bright. I felt like I was in Italy, but I was in a robe. Desserts and gelatos are outstanding. The tiramisu is worth ordering alone. Delivery kept everything intact. The outdoor seating looked pleasant, but I stayed inside. Service is excellent, attentive without hovering. Spacious. I ate too much. I do not regret it. This is not a hidden gem. It is a known quantity. It still impressed me. That is hard to do. I am picky.

Pastaphony

Highlights
Fresh pasta, generous portions
Kind owner, great suggestions
Quick service, holiday hours
Relaxing space, vibrant colors
Worth a return visit

Pastaphony surprised me. I went for pasta, not pizza. The owner is kind and offered suggestions. I took them. Good call. Fresh pasta, generous portions. The space is relaxing, with vibrant colors. I ordered delivery during the holidays. They were quick. That is rare. The pizza is fine, but the pasta is the reason to return. The owner checked in. That felt personal. I do not get that from most places. I will return. Maybe not for pizza. But for the fusilli, yes. The service was warm. No complaints. Just praise.

Little Coyote

Highlights
Worth the wait
White pie, add pepperoni
Order ahead for pickup
Consistent quality over years
Friendly late-night service

Little Coyote is worth the wait. I waited forty minutes once. I would do it again. The white pie with pepperoni is my move. It is consistent. I have ordered it for years. Never a bad pie. Order ahead for pickup, because delivery can lag. But when it arrives, hot and chewy, I forget the wait. Late-night service is friendly. They recognized me. That is either flattering or concerning. The crust is crisp but has give. Toppings are balanced. No grease slick. It is a classic. I am not a complainer. But I have standards. This meets them.

La Parolaccia Osteria - Long Beach

Highlights
Unmatched, welcoming customer service
Phenomenal Italian food, great pizza
Fun Italian artifacts and decor
Great for dates or families
Reservations recommended, worth wait

La Parolaccia Osteria is more than pizza. The customer service is unmatched. I felt welcomed, even through delivery. The staff remembered my name. That is weird and wonderful. Italian food is phenomenal. The pizza is great, but the eggplant parm is better. Fun Italian artifacts decorate the space. I saw a Vespa. I do not know if it was real. Reservations are recommended, but I ordered in. The wait was worth it. Great for dates or families. I ate alone. No judgment. The food made me feel less lonely. That says everything.

Mooney's Pizza Tavern

Highlights
Best pizza in Long Beach
Staff checks in constantly
Chewy crust, great toppings
Soft serve cherry chocolate swirl
Worth booking early for

Mooney's Pizza Tavern claims the best pizza in Long Beach. I resist hyperbole. But they are close. The crust is chewy, the toppings are generous. Staff check in constantly, even during delivery. That is rare. I ordered the soft serve cherry chocolate swirl as dessert. It arrived melted. Still good. I booked a table weeks ahead for pickup. That is absurd. I do it anyway. The pizza is that good. I told a friend. He agreed. We argued about the crust. He was wrong. The chewy texture is perfect. I will defend it.

Domenico's Belmont Shore

Highlights
Welcoming atmosphere for families
Stellar service noted
Chicken piccata enjoyable
Pizza crust disappoints
Convenient nearby location

Domenico's Belmont Shore is convenient. The pizza crust disappoints. I tried. It is dry. The chicken piccata is enjoyable. That is the safer bet. Service is stellar ath the location, but delivery is standard. The atmosphere welcomes families. I saw kids. They were happy. I was less happy with my slice. The nearby location is a plus. I will return, but for the pasta. Not the pizza. That is a shame. The staff are lovely. They deserve better crust. Maybe I ordered wrong. But I cannot risk another dry bite.

Olive Wood Pizza

Highlights
Catered 30 guests seamlessly
Professional, punctual event staff
Live pizza-making entertainment
Easy booking, clear communication
Pizza loved by all

Olive Wood Pizza catered thirty guests without a hitch. I was not at the event)Skip. I ordered delivery for a party. The staff were professional and punctual. Live pizza-making entertainment came through the video link. That was a surprise. They made pies while I watched. The pizza was loved by all. No leftovers. Booking was easy. Communication was clear. I did not have to chase anyone. That is rare. The delivery arrived hot. The crust had a light char. Everyone asked for the name. I gave it. They order now. I feel like a connector. That is fine. The pizza did the work.

Due Fiori

Highlights
Waffle worth the line
Hot honey pizza exceptional
Caesar rivals Bird Pizzeria
Fusilli earns a “wow”
Service friendly and professional

Due Fiori made me wait in line for a waffle. I waited. I would wait again. The hot honey pizza is exceptional. Sweet, spicy, and my fingers were sticky for an hour. Worth it. The Caesar salad rivals Bird Pizzeria, which is high praise I do not give lightly. The fusilli earned a verbal wow. I said it out loud. Alone. In my kitchen. Service is friendly and professional, even when I asked for extra napkins twice. Delivery arrived hot. The waffle survived. My self-control did not.

District 4 Pizza

Highlights
48-hour fermented crust
Warm, attentive staff
Gluten-free options available
Loaded BBQ Barwinkle pie
Homemade dressings, spumoni

District 4 Pizza ferments their dough for 48 hours. I do not know what that means, but the crust tasted like effort. The loaded BBQ Barwinkle pie is a mess in the best way. Gluten-free options exist, which my friend confirmed. She did not complain. That is a miracle. Staff are warm and attentive, even over the phone. Homemade dressings elevate the salads. I ordered spumoni because it sounded fancy. It was. Delivery was fast. My only complaint is that I did not order two pies. The crust deserved more toppings. I will fix that next time.
