Feb 9- It's National pizza Day today!!!!!…read more For pizza lovers here, we had to have pizza for lunch on this day. There was nobody in there, just us plus the lady behind the counter. We got our NY special order - Ricotta Cheese & Meatballs. The beverage fridge was near empty with a few bottles of water and 7-ups. The lady let us know they didn't serve water. The soda vending machine looked broken. All red flags that they are not investing more into this business. Which is VERY SAD! The pizza was great. Not quite NY but still a great pie for being in a strip mall in Artesia. I hope they don't close shop. I hope they care a little more, advertise a bit and draw up some business bc their pizzas are definitely good. Pricing is ok. The large pizza (8 slices) with 2 toppings = $26.52. Recommend 7/10 - hoping the owner puts a little more heart into the environment and promotions to sell pizzas.

I called in my order on my way home and was met with fast and friendly service. The pizzeria itself is a clean and welcoming establishment with modern lights and decor. For the price and the quality of ingredients received, Lucian's is a neighborhood gem. I ordered the Bbq Chicken Pizza - Pro Tip: order it Well-Done. The marriage of savory chicken, subtle sweetness of bbq sauce and the sharpness of red onions and salty bacon make for a delicious pizza. The slight char on the crust and undercarriage is a must. The house ranch is very good: somewhat tangy (Greek yogurt based ?) it was a great condiment for this pizza. Thank you Lucian's, I'm looking forward to the next pizza!

Personally for me, this pizza spot holds the title for best chicken wings! The chicken wings here are 10/10 not dry, and not super saucy!! The employees are super nice as well, great service. This is a takeout spot only, so no dine-in and a tip I recommended is definitely call to order before you get there! That way you won't have to wait long sitting there, but if you do they have benches to sit down and it's clean inside.

I've also had their Cheezee Garlic Bread, Cheezee Pesto Brad, and Cheezee Garlic Rolls. Out of the three, I love the Garlic Rolls the best! By default the rolls comes with their garlic sauce, but you're able to swap it for their dips such as pesto sauce, chipotle sauce, Kogi sauce, jalapeno ranch sauce, mango habanero sauce and more! They have an app where you can place your order and earn points, and they also have DoorDash and Postmates available. Every time I come here for pick-up, staff is very quick to retrieve my order and always makes sure that my pizza is fresh and still hot. I haven't tried dining in yet but there's plenty of outdoor seating with umbrellas, shared with neighboring shops, offering a relaxed spot to enjoy the pizza!

No hate... but where these 5 stars coming from? I get no joy…read moreout of posting bad reviews, so bare with me. I had this place bookmarked literally for years, had been wanting to try their Pastrami Pizza. Like all ny reviews, it is unfiltered non-bias based in just the food. I assume most of these reviews are from locals with nostalgia vibes that grew up eating here? Came in on a weekday for work lunch, right around noon. At one point was the only customer waiting for their pick-up order. Girl at the register was nice, paid for my phone to-go order and waited about 5-10min over the original ETA pick up time. I ordered the Pastrami Pizza, was sooo disappointed. Taste was off, it was cheezy, just lacks character. The pickles and mustard did not save it. Maybe its the low quality pastrami they use, or the way the pastrami is prepared? Couldnt figure it out. Now the wings. Not good. Dry, lack seasoning, lack flavor. Ranch was decent, the watered down but yummy kind you get form Tams or hood burgers. This place has been around for a while, maybe surviving in their usual customers? Not sure.

I've been wanting to try North Italia for a while. I'd heard good things about the El Segundo…read morelocation and recently found out they opened one in Cerritos, so I took my mom there for an early Mother's Day dinner on the Saturday before Mother's Day. We didn't have reservations, so we expected a wait. The restaurant was packed, and we ended up waiting about 30 minutes to be seated. We ordered the truffle garlic bread, spicy rigatoni vodka, squid ink tonnarreli and a pizza with half The Pig and half hot honey prosciutto. Spicy Rigatoni Vodka - 4/5 The dish was delicious, and you could definitely tell the pasta was handmade. It wasn't spicy at all to me, but I also have a pretty high spice tolerance. I do wish it had more meat, and the portion size felt a little small. I was shocked to find out it was nearly 2,000 calories for the amount served. Squid Ink Tonnarreli - 5/5 This was probably my favorite dish of the night. It was rich, savory, and really flavorful. I'd never had squid ink pasta before, although I've had Filipino squid cooked in squid ink many times. The dish came with squid, shrimp, and a spicy tomato-based sauce. We asked for it mild, but I honestly think it would've been even better spicy. The portion size was good too. Pizza - 3/5 Since they make handmade pasta, I assumed the pizza dough would be amazing, but it was just average. Parts of the crust were a little burnt. The Pig (their all-meat pizza) was okay but slightly too salty for me. The hot honey prosciutto side was better, although they were pretty light on the toppings. I probably wouldn't order pizza here again. Truffle Garlic Bread - 4/5 Really good, but overpriced at $18.50 for 9 small square pieces. The bread was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and very buttery. Customer Service - 5/5 Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and explained the menu really well. I appreciated that she mentioned the spice levels could be adjusted on certain dishes. She also refilled my iced tea without me having to ask and even brought me a to-go cup for it. Overall, we had a good experience. The food was solid, and the service was great. However, the portions felt a bit small for the price, especially compared to similar restaurants, and I was surprised they didn't offer complimentary bread. I'm glad I tried it, but I'm not sure if I'd go back regularly.

Thunderbolt Pizza in Long Beach has become my go-to pizzeria. After trying a wide range of their…read moremenu, two dishes stand out above the rest: the Pizza Margherita and the Garlic Knots. 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.
