Love the food. I like community reach the place has with it youth culinary arts training program on site. The ONLY draw back is its size. The place is Tiny. Other than that keep up the positive works. read more

Amazing pizza!! I had a real craving for some good pizza. (I'm from Chicago) wowwww AMAZING!!! And the buffalo jaguar chicken fries were the cherry on top!!!! Chicken tenders are so juicy! 1st time ordering too. Jackpot read more

Well lets just say I have history with this building lol. I'm very picky when it comes to pizza and although NY Pizza is totally different these pizzas are pretty darn good. My only gripe is the sauce. The dough is pretty solid. The pizza here its pretty good serviceable and a fair value, however the BAKED GOODS are OUTTA THIS WORLD. Every cookie or pie I have tried from this place is absolutely delicious! Also the sandwiches have a creative spin to them. They have a deep fried peanut butter and jelly which I'm dying to try! (Dammit, I just lost 16 pounds lol ) The Buffalo Chicken sandwich was really on point and delicious. I recommend this place for sure. read more

This place looked like a little hole in the wall but I was blown away by the food. We were able to find street parking right out front. Our niece wanted to meet up and she had already order lunch when we arrived. There were pizza, salads and fries. Everything was yummy but I went nuts over the salads. This is a gourmet place! I highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

A Little bite of Chicago in little ole Long Beach!!! I read a review about them running out of dough. That actually made me go because it means that the dough is made daily. I ordered a spicy personal deep dish pizza. Upon my first bite I thought of UNOs in Chicago. The crust has a crunchy almost cornmeal bite. The sauce has the spicy yet tangy kick. It simply melts in mouth. The best deep dish in LA County. I really like the fact the business gives back to the community by providing culinary skills ,customer service and good energy back to da LBC. Good job Tamika read more

I personally have not been here and I am not really a fan of pies. 5000 Pies will probably change that when I do check this place out! My sister goes to Cabrillo so every time I pick her up, I always tell her to buy me their cookies and buffalo fries! Cookies are always freshly baked! On a sweeter side, but they're perfect! As for the buffalo fries, the size of it has gotten smaller but price stayed the same. Besides that, it's still pretty good! I should stop by next time and try their hand pies! read more

Was looking for an alternate pizza joint, tired of the Donimos & Pizza hut stuff. Buono's is okay but had too many bad experiences with delivery. Ran into 5000 Pies on Yelp, did my due diligence and went in on an order. They have deep dish pizza, how can I go wrong? Ordered the medium spinach deep dish, one small personal cheese and one personal pepperoni, and the deep-fried pbjbb (peanut butter and jelly with banana & bacon) for dessert. Spoke with Wilson (?) very nice fella on the phone. Says to order 45 min early on the website, and he reiterated that. I was okay with that because I was sure the kids would be hungry around 6pm anyways... they even called and made a courtesy call to let me know they were going to be a little late (it's friday, understandable). Pies got here, was all warm and ready to eat. Its a legit deep dish, and the pesonal pizzas were just right (maybe a little bit more love on the pepperoni) This pbjbb was extremely good (limit one 1/4 piece per month lol). I had no idea they were here, and a year already. Don't ever leave the west side of Long Beach 5000 Pies! read more

I was very excited to try this place I Chicago style deep dish pizza is my favorite pizza. However I wasn't able to try it. Called twice and got no answer. She finally picked up and placed my order. The lady on the phone said 20 minutes but the web site says 45 min to an hour so I gave her 45 minutes... When I got there she told me her pizza guy," just didn't make it...." Okay, wtf... Soo I guess my business and support isn't wanted at 5000 pies!! Worst service I have ever had. I still can't believe it. Went to slice of New York in seal beach and had the best NYC pizza in the area read more

I stopped by to get cookies to take to a client. Really cute place. Tiny. I bought the oatmeal cranberry, chocolate chip, and peanut butter chocolate toffee. The cookies almost tasted like cake. Very good not dry and the toffee chips were a great surprise. I would like to come back and try food next time. No sitting room so expect to take your stuff to go. read more

If you are on a time frame for lunch and want to just pre-order and pick it up , don't do it! My co-workers and I have done this 3 times and the pizzas were never ready or not even started by the pick up time. We even placed the order the day before!!! We show up at the designated time just to find out that they "overlooked" our order leaving us scrambling to find another place for lunch. I mean seriously, they even gave a total cost for our order....3 deep dish pizzas with pepperoni and sausage. I wanted to give them 1 star for their service but since their food is good, I generously gave them 3. Suffice it to say that I will NEVER go back there for lunch. I might consider going at a time where I have 2 hours or more to kill but who has that kind of time? I am so disappointed, such a shame when they have a good product. They should probably work on their service a little. read more

Fantastic place! I had pizza here once before, but my uncle couldn't remember where he got the pizza. All he knew was that it was on the west side of Long Beach. Fortunately, Google picked it up really quickly. When I checked the menu online, craving a deep dish pizza, there was a list of the prices as well as a clear statement saying that a deep dish could take up to an hour to make, give or take a few minutes. With that knowledge in mind, I ordered my pizza ahead of time over the phone. Once that was handled, they gave me an approximate time of when my pizza would be ready. I got there about 10 minutes after the time (you just never know sometimes) and my pizza was ready to go. Awesome. I wish I could remember the woman at the register (8/13 around 7:15pm) but she was all smiles and very friendly. Made some light conversation, asking how we knew about the spot, etc. Paying was quick and easy, and as we were leaving, she asked if we needed any extra plates, utensils, parmesan, etc. Not having considered that, it was a great idea and a suggestion I greatly appreciated. It definitely came in handy when we got to eating. Is the pizza a little pricy? Sure. Is it worth it? AND THEN SOME!!!! We got the Spinach Deep Dish... and MAN! With the spinach, cheese underneath the chunky, beautifully seasoned tomato sauce, this pizza is life changing. If you're even considering getting the pizza, stop it now, pick up the phone, and place your order. You won't regret it. It's amazing pizza. Friendly staff, nice little set up inside.... I would highly recommend it to anyone. read more

Only tried the calzone so far. It's huge. I still have 1/4 of it left and i made an all veggie one. The only downside is the sauce is kinda sweet and have chunky diced tomatoes in it. Fortunately, most of it fell out while picking it up but I hope it's not the same sauce they use for pizza. Also the cookies are semi soft but completely delish read more

Buttery crust. Abundant mozzarella. Tasty sausage. And fresh mushroom and crushed tomato. A total WIN for a deep dish pizza!!! This pizza from such a small humble place tasted better than some hyped pizzerias in DTLA... or even Chicago (gasp!). The place is quite small, with a couple side benches and one small table. It's definitely more for take-out. After 2:30pm on weekdays, the place is packed with high school students from across the street. They offer these kids a pizza slice special that's not on the menu, and I thought that was super sweet. Will come back for more deep dish and their dessert pies :) read more

5000 Pies - Loaded personal pizza - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

We drove here from Wilmington. We received a free cookie for it being our first time (fresh cookies made right in their kitchen, we had snickerdoodle and they were delicious!) I must say I was not disappointed. The place is mostly kitchen- they have 2 smaller tables in front by the register, the pizzas are made right there, right in front of you! FROM SCRATCH. We've had some well known deep dish pizzas and have paid upwards of 30-45$ for a pie, this place was BETTER and inexpensive!! We had two slices each and decided to leave the other 4 for dinner left overs tomorrow night, I won't lie- I'm pretty darn excited for those leftovers. We got 2 sides of ranch and a side of pepperoncini for .69 c! I honestly will def be coming back for more and recommending it to all we know! Some kid ordered the jaguar fries (which according to one of the chefs are pretty popular with the kids from the school across the street) I eyeballed them and decided I would try that next time. Some of the reviews I read talked about timeliness (some showed up too early) they told us the pie would be ready at 7 and we arrived at 7:05 waited just a few more mins for the pie to fully settle and we were out the door. Be patient- this isn't hot and ready, dominos or Pizza Hut type of joint- this is a true pizza shop, where good pie takes time. Support small businesses, try this place out. read more

5000 Pies - Medium deep dish with pep and shrooms - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Been here 2 times and it's so good! I get the deep dish pizza and it's the best in the city. I recently tried the fries with chicken/buffalo sauce and they were AMAZING! I want to go back just for those fries. They melt in your mouth and the Flavors are delicious. Must try this place! Great customer service. read more

You definitely will want to call ahead before ordering here if you want a deep dish pizza, as we called 30-40 minutes ahead of time then had to wait an additional 20 minutes once we got there, despite them saying that it would only take about 30-40 minutes. The employees are super awesome and very kind. Seating inside the store is extremely limited so don't expect to find a seat. The pizza itself was quite good, though I personally would prefer Doughbox or Masa's over it. The crust has a bit of a cornbread texture/taste to it, and the sauce is sweeter compared to the two aforementioned places, which are saltier in comparison. I wish they used more sauce on top however, as they only have a thin layer. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a try. read more

5000 Pies - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

A restaurant with heart. A small place with limited seating for dining there, so probably best for take away. I ordered a regular pizza, and a deep dish. Great prices for a great value and product. I also ordered the berry lemon cake that was delish. I really enjoyed my experience from placing my phone order to pick up. This place knows the value of customer service. When I placed my order, the staff answered all my questions over the phone. And when I got to the place, they helped me to my car. Parking is challenging but I was able to find a 30 minute spot. read more

5000 pies has great Chicago deep dish pizza. For anyone that is a deep dish Chicago style pizza lover, good ones are hard to find outside of the Windy City of Chicago. There is no need to look further than 5000 pies as they truly hit the mark. It takes about an hour for them to make your pizza so that makes them legit! The sauce / cheese ratio hits the spot. The deep dish comes in the medium or large size. The medium is a colossal size so the large must be gigantic. They also have a fresh variety of pies & cookies that are truly homemade quality & the staff is super friendly. 5000 pies is a must try even if you don't live in Long Beach. It's worth the drive & the try! read more

Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere? Great customer service, both over the phone and during pickup. One star. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? Average portions for the price. Large loaded deep dish pizza and buffalo fries for $30.52. Half star. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? The pizza wasn't tasty, the ingredients (especially tomato sauce) underwhelmed. Didn't taste like quality or fresh ingredients. I'm comparing this to similarly priced pizzas in LA such as Masa or Slice Truck. An example would be the sausage used, bland and gets lost in the taste, whereas the sausage at Masa stands out from other flavors in the pizza. Half star. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? Definitely not. I probably won't go back. Which really bums me out because I love pizza and I was excited about deep dish in Long Beach. They seem to have a positive mission too. In the end, you get more taste for the dollar at many other pizza places. No star. read more

Great local spot on the west side of LBC! Love the pizzas, hand pies and salads! We are weekly regulars!

This is a small place that is mainly to go. I tried the deep-dish personal pizza. The sauce was slightly like marinara whereas I prefer it less sour, but it was moderate. The crust is where lies the opportunity for improvement; a true Chicago deep-dish has a gold crust. It should be almost as if it was deep fried. This was a bit softer, presumably healthier as it is less greasy. I wish the bread and the sauce layers would've been a bit thicker as well. Overall, on the road to perfection with a few tweaks. read more

First time there and let me say definitely will be back. Called in the order because one of the items was the spicy pan pizza. It was delicious. Great crust, inverted with cheese, than toppings, with sauce on top. For someone who likes it really hot, the spice was not over the top. It was just right. We also enjoyed the Hawaiian pizza with spam. A great crust also, maybe will ask for extra spam next time, but definitely tasty. Finished it off with cookies and a small lemon pie. Everything was superior. Serve was great with a helpful staff. Run by a local church, simply THE BEST pizza in west Long Beach. Maybe all Long Beach. read more

First time trying this place. Ordered the Loaded Deep Dish. OMG! It was LOADED! So good! The Buffalo Wings were fire too.. Ordering was a breeze. The girl on the phone was very courteous and helpful. (We had special delivery instructions) The delivery driver Robert, was awesome! He called when he was on his way, showed up on time and was also extremely courteous.

What an amazing hole in the wall place. I ordered the chocolate pecan pie and I will say that is one of the best pies I have ever had. The ingredients are fresh and it is appropirately priced (not cheap, but not super over-priced). I don't know the full details of the community involvement, but it appears that a lot of their staff were high school age. They have individual pies, known as hand pies, which are made on a daily basis so that they may run out. The crust is great and the fillings are solid. I did not get the pizza pie, but I assume that they are good as well. Give it a shot and try it out. Their competition is Bake and Broil as I see them exceeding the major chains like Polly's, Marie's, and Hoff's Hutt. read more

Two different people told me about 5000 pies. Had time to go by there today. The wife and I got a couple of slices of their sweet pies. Very good! Not the normal pie I would buy, but for just trying what was available, darn good. Well worth the trip if you are looking for something better than a Marie Calendar pie. read more

The pizza was delicious I wish I would have ordered it myself but my friend ordered it for herself while I got the jaguar buffalo fries. The sauce is VERY VERY tangy and unfortunately it over powered the food and I couldn't take another bit unless I wanted to spend the night taking tums. Will be back for pizza though read more

Incredible pizza pies! While others complained that there's a lack of meat, I thought it was on par. They're certainly not skimpy on the vegetables! We picked this up and an hour later the crust was still incredible and warm. Not an everyday pizza for us (what deep dish is?), but you're damned if you don't at least try it! Great establishment to benefit the community. Read up on their history. read more

First time here. I ordered on the phone with Wilson was told it would be twenty minutes. I showed up and my pizza wasn't made yet...He started making it right away! While we waited they gave my kids a piece of pie some yummy French fries. The pizza was amazing and fresh. Next time I want to try the deep dish. The fried peanut butter and jelly wow! Cookies so fresh and soft. Even though my pizza wasn't ready the staff was super sweet and attentive I didn't mind the wait. Thank you 5000 pies for great customer service and food! read more

Picked up a personal pizza for lunch. too good. will pre-order and pick-up again, as long as im around. i hope they are profitable and can stay around for a long time. they operate out of a church, and hire those who you would want to hire. thats cool, whatever, make good food and your good with me. read more

Normally, I do not write reviews until I have tried the place at least a few times. I will make an exception for 5000 pies. The place is quite small; do not come here with a huge group. I would also suggest you call and order pizza; it can take up to an hour if you ordered one of their deep dish pizzas. The staff seemed were very nice they would cheerfully greet you once you step in through the door. As for their food, I have no complaints. I ordered 12 of their cookies for $4 and a spicy deep dish pizza. I never had a deep dish pizza before and now I can see what the fuss is about. It is literally a pie. There is a crust and it is filled with ingredients. Unlike traditional pizza, where they are placed on top of the dough instead of filled in. My spicy pie actually had some heat to it and the cookies, I have to say, they were really good; soft and chewy. Overall, if you are near by, give this place a shot. They have $1 slice pizza as well as wings and fries. 1 more thing if you check in on yelp you will get a free cookie; they are addictive so be cautious. read more

From the perfectly crusted, warm apple pie... Down to the Build-Your-Own Salad with lots of fresh veggies and fresh romaine lettuce! Sesame Seed dressing? Man. I didn't have enough time to stay to get deep dish pizza but their pizza is delicious altogether. The Chipotle Maple wings have a 30 second kick! Once you bite into them wait a second... And you'll begin to taste the flavors! This place is small but if you order to go and are able to find street parking... It is beyond worth it! read more

Had the Deep Dish pizza today for the first time. OH MY GOODNESS. It's like... Having something so delicious, almost life-changing, that you refuse to go back to regular pizza. One slice and I was full, so was my wife. The flavor was incredible, the crust was moist and the aroma made us rush to get home so we could eat it! In addition to the Deep Dish Pizza, we also had the Sesame Honey fries. I recommend them! All in all, 5000 pies, a social enterprise of Fountain of Life Covenant Church is a must visit in Long Beach! read more

Most. Epic. Pizza. Ever. A friend arranged for 5000 Pies to deliver several pies to budget office retreat. The pizza came in time--about the fifth hour of talking budget, numbers, goals, strategies, etc. But the knock on that frosted door told us it was time to enjoy the goodness! And time to stop nerding out. We had a slice of the pineapple and ham and that was so delicious!! And a deep dish all meat dish. I love that the tomato sauce was on the sweeter side. And the chocolate pecan pie. Dear lord. Be still my heart (your heart may be still with amount of fatty goodness). I'm so looking forward for this place to be open for dinner! read more

Ughhhhh I love this place especially the jaguar fries will forever be my got to when I crave buffalo fries

I was blown away seeing the vision and all the talent of different people from the church coming together and using their unique talents to make this place happen.

"Cabrillo Jaguar Fries" only $5...come try their homemade pies, deep dish pizza or these awesome fries and support local business! read more

Ordered the following: personal deep dish pizza - spicy personal deep dish pizza - mushroom, pepperoni, sausage chipotle maple wings fries Pros - I LOVED that they waited to fry my french fries upon my arrival - Wings are BOMB, perfect amount of flour/crunchiness and flavoring...yummy! - My boyfriend loved the mushroom/pepperoni/sausage deep dish - Decent prices Cons - The fries were soggy when I got home, probably needed to be fried longer in the oil (not sure if they felt rush cause I was waiting there). I retoasted the fried when I got home to make it crunchy again. - My spicy specialty personal deep dish was overwhelming with the flavors...not what I expected or liked haha Overall, I would go back and get a deep dish with only a few toppings and MORE WINGS!! :) read more
