    Medium special
    Mellanie A.

    Avila's pizza holds a special place in my heart. This location located in Lakewood is the ONLY sister store to "Avila's Pizza x Two" located on Anaheim St. in Long Beach. These two locations are not to be confused with the other Pizza x Two locations located in Long Beach as they aren't operated by the same owners. Avila's Pizza is family owned and operated and I love to see how they continue to thrive within our local communities after all these years. My childhood consisted of family gatherings accompanied by a few fresh pies from Avila's. My family and I typically go to their Anaheim St. location as it's closer to my grandparents' house. However, I've visited their Lakewood location a handful of times and have been met with the same quality and consistency as their other store. On my most recent visit a few days ago, I decided to try something new and opted for their special pizza which is quite similar to a deluxe. To be blunt, skip any pizza's here with veggies because they aren't baked into the pizza and are served practically raw. However, all their other pizzas are nothing short of phenomenal. I HIGHLY recommend their classic pepperoni, their bacon pizza and their pepperoni and jalapeño. The breadsticks paired with marinara are also delicious. Avila's offers various carry-out and delivery specials. Their pizza runs more on the affordable side although the prices have slightly spiked over the years undoubtedly due to economic circumstances. Both locations serve more as grab n' go establishments due to a lack of seating and space. I've never had an issue with service at either locations, in fact, my family is very well received at the Anaheim location as we have been regulars throughout the years. I absolutely recommend Avila's Pizza and Avila's Pizza X Two to anyone! Support your local businesses! :)

    Great pizza! They also have pastrami pizza, my favorite. Pizza combos are also available with choice of wings or BBQ pork rib ends. Service is quick, place is clean. Their BBQ pork rib ends are moist and delicious! I drove from Gardena just for this pizza!

    This place deserves 4.5 stars but since I can't choose that rating, had to lean towards the 4. This place I always see when I take my dog for a run and I always wondered if the pizza was good. I am so happy I decided to order for pickup as I was pleasantly surprised with the service, quality of ingredients, and of course the taste. It's a small little spot in the cut but I now know why they have been in business for a few years now. I got the works pizza and forgot to take a picture of the salad I also purchased but I'll be back soon enough to try more options on their menu

    Small to go in n out spot. They offer cake and some desserts to purchase along with their food menu. Staff was courteous and attentive. Solid place w/ generous toppings. New go to. Trying mustard and pickles on a pizza was innovative. Try their specials.

    Couldn't stop thinking about this pizza after the first time I had it. My bf ordered it, two types of pizza I would never think of getting, Hawaiian buffalo chicken and pastrami, but they are both my new favorite. Every time I eat it I try and figure out how it could be so good, there really isn't anything that could make it better. Since the first time trying it last month we have been back a few times, and it never disappoints and to top it off the people who work there are so nice and you can tell take pride in what they do. I highly recommend trying it, and make sure you get enough to have leftovers because it is that good.

    Great pizza! Way better than little ceasers lol

    Always great pizza. Can't beat $12.99 for a large 1 topping! I've been coming here for over 10 years. Consistently bomb

    I have been here a few times before. Today I bought a large pizza . I got 2 toppings and they were applied generously. Ask for a pick up special and save $$. The pizza was freshly baked for me and piping hot. I added a sprinkle of the crushed red peppers and it was perfect.

    This unrated pizza joint in Bellflower is a hidden gem. I ordered a cheese pizza with pepperoni and was pleasantly surprised by its taste and quality. The cheese was gooey and crust was the right amount of dough. They also have a pick-up special for a one topping pie for $12. The guy working there was super friendly and nice.

Pizza Margherita - 5/5. This is a perfect example of the care and craft that go into their food. The crust strikes a rare balance - it has that signature leopard-spotted char and slight floppiness you'd expect from a Neapolitan-style pizza, but also delivers the chewiness and airy structure of a great New York-style slice. It never tips too far into being overly crispy or dry. What really sets it apart, though, is the sauce. While many pizzerias treat sauce as an afterthought, Thunderbolt clearly does not. Their tomato sauce is rich, vibrant, and juicy, with a depth of flavor that avoids being overly acidic, salty, or tannic. It enhances the pizza beautifully without overshadowing the dough, which is exactly how it should be. Garlic Knots - 5/5. - Easily some of the best I've had anywhere in LA. These are essentially bread rolls with a super chewy interior and a thin, lightly crusty exterior, served alongside their excellent marinara sauce. They're incredibly satisfying and consistently a crowd favorite. I've brought visitors from Japan, Germany, and New York, and every single one of them couldn't stop talking about these knots. My only small critique is that I wish they had used fresh garlic instead of canned, which would have taken them to an even higher level. Still, even as they are, they're outstanding. Overall, Thunderbolt Pizza delivers thoughtful, high-quality food that stands out in a crowded pizza scene. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to--not just because it's good, but because it's consistently memorable.

It travels so well, the crust is still nice and crunchy when it gets home.

They also have a lunch soecial that includes a slice, salad (generous size), and soda!

We ordered a half and half pizza online for pickup and spent over $30 for pizza and a 4oz container of ranch. They told us it would be about 20min when we ordered so we got ready and left. We got there probably 15min after we ordered and grabbed two cokes while we waited. I tried to pay with cash and was told he might not have change to give me. I said that was ok even though it's pretty lame that you don't keep change in your register. He happened to find a very large coin bag and made me change. We were sitting right at the front and you couldn't miss us. They asked us a few times what our name for the order was and we told them the same thing every time. Finally after about 10 min they asked us for the 3rd time what our name was and then walked away. We could hear someone say "the order for Kymmy didn't leave they are here" or something along those lines. We kind of just looked at each other. The guy that rang us up came over and said, "sorry something happened to your pizza it'll be another 20min or so". At this point we had already been waiting about 15 min for the pizza. So we said ok because we were starving. One of the employees asked us if we drank wine we said no we didn't and that's why we were drinking cokes. He said, "ohh, okayyyy..." and gave us a very judgmental look. Like sir, you don't know why we aren't drinking. We also kind of figured he wanted to give us a few beverage for the mix up. But that was the end of it. We heard someone say our name and we asked if ours was ready and one girl acted like we were being impatient while waiting. Like we didn't just wait over a half hour for food. Finally our pizza was done after a total of 40 min and there was very minimal apology for the delay. We took it back to our hotel and we were so excited it smelled so amazing and it looked so good. I cannot tell you how disappointed we were when we took our first few bites. It was not that great. We had ordered pepperoni and the veggie pizza. We ate half of it because we were starving and very quickly regretted it. It made both of us super sick on top of everything else Needless to say we won't be back here and won't be recommending this place either
