This is just my opinion and experience with plenty of breakfast spots. The shrimp and grits are very good,and you do get a healthy portion, but for 20 plus dollars,it does not come with any breads at all,but you have the option of ordering separately at an additional cost! The ambiance is bright and refreshing,restrooms clean,and plenty of parking in lot(formly the Sizzler). I happen to attend on a Monday evening for bingo it was really fun! I won twice that evening, your first card is complimentary with a $10 purchase of something,thereafter,the cards are $5 per game. You get to spend a winners wheel for lots of prizes, including cash! Now I ordered a pastrami sandwich,and when I tell you it was disgusting, it was awful,the meat was fried to a crisp,I thought it would be steamed pastrami meat(my bad)! It also came with grilled onions,if you happen to go for onions on your pastrami sandwich. I chose sweet potato fries,which tasted like they were cooked in meat grease! Just horrible! I will never order that again! Will I return and try other items from the menu,yes, the pastrami sandwich just isn't the right choice for me, you may like it lol! With that being said let me know you guys thoughts on it when you go!

Pizza is soooo good, but it used to be better. Lebanese pizza was flavorful but the dry garlic chicken left me a bit sad. Carne asada pizza was rich with savory flavor but I think having it right out of the oven would have been better. Seating no longer offered so had to drive it home and reheat it. The experience of eating it hot and ready was part of my original ritual. Lemon pepper wings were still fire. Seriously no notes. Cheesecake was also tasty but I recall it being less creamy and more cake-y before. Kind of funny they were locked up in the freezer, but perhaps for good reason? Price wise it's worth it as a treat, this isn't an everyday pizza. Place could use a good clean with the kitchen visible. Although I miss the previous glory version I would still very much recommend this spot!

I'm so appreciative for Awsom to have allowed / welcome such a fun night with a large party. Thank you to everyone who served that night, who helped accommodate and helped with the clean up / set up.

I'm not…read moreeven sure it's from a chicken, they seem to have the amount of meat you'd find from maybe a sparrow or hummingbird. I honestly can't believe how fast this place fell from an amazing chicken wing to whatever the heck they serve now. But yea they were awful, small, dry and flavorless. The pizza tasted that of 6th grade cafeteria vibes. It was overcooked, dough tasted old and it was just such a waste of $24 for a 1 topping pizza. Honestly I used to love this place for some good wings and pizza. Now I wouldn't serve this food to inmates.

Came here early in the week last week with my cousin. It was my first time eating here, but he's…read morebeen here a few times and orders to-go from them often. First thing I noticed is that it is Sicilian-style Italian food and there are posters from all over Sicily, which was a bit nostalgic for me. Anything from Italy makes me nostalgic. But being in this restaurant really made me feel like I was there. Mi manca l'italia! We were seated promptly by a young man who was molto gentile and were served by a woman working there. I feel bad that I didn't get either of their names but she also was very friendly and helpful in answering any questions I had about the menu and their wine. We started off with some calamari which was perfectly crispy and very delicious. For our entrees I ordered the linguini with clams and shrimp with a class of their sauvignon blanc, and my cousin ordered their lasagna with a glass of chianti. The food and the wine were all so delicious and perfectly paired. I loved finding all the slivers of garlic in my pasta and was even more satisfied to see more shrimp hiding in the linguini. I ordered my dish with the white wine sauce and it was delicious. I did feel like it was missing some flavor, but I'm not exactly sure what flavor that was. It was well seasoned, and garlicky without being overpowering, but maybe some other herb? I'm no help, but I will say I enjoyed my leftovers more the next day. I tried a bit of my cousin's lasagna and thought it was delicious. Personally, he felt there needed to be a better balance of sauce to cheese (he said it was too cheesy/rich), and while I did enjoy the bite I had, I could see what he meant. Good thing we started off with the calamari and some bread because his lasagna was too hot for a long time. For dessert, we split something I hadn't had since I was in Italy over 15 years ago. I did not know what to expect when he asked for the "lemon ice cream" dessert, but now that I know, I'll gladly have one for myself next time. It's Granita al Limone served inside the shell of a lemon. It is DELICIOUS and refreshing without being overwhelmingly sweet or rich. Also, isn't it just cute? Thank you for a lovely dining experience.

The best Italian in Bellflower, hands down! :)…read more I ordered the baked manicotti and was quite impressed, perfectly flavored and properly cooked! Their garlic bread and mozzarella sticks were phenomenal as well! The staff were friendly and attentive, and we were wanting for nothing. The place has a good amount of indoor seating, and a huge covered outdoor area in back, and the place is immaculate - clean and well lit. In all we'll certainly be back.

We went to have dinner at Ricci's Italian in Bellflower a little while ago…read more Nice house salad (9/10) with wonderful italian dressing (9/5/10) and vegetable minestrone soup with small pasta (8.5/10), which adults and kids enjoyed. Our entrees included Chicken parmigiana (8/10), veal parmigiana (7/10) , and bacon carbonara with shrimp (8/10), quite rich and creamy, but not goopy. All quite good. Nice that they have Peroni on tap, tasted fairly fresh (8/10). Veal cutlet portion felt a little undersized but chicken was hearty, and red sauce (both marinara and meat sauce) are deep red, slightly thick and pasty...not a light sauce. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal, except for the end (when we suffered a accidental water spill and had to mop it uo ourselves). Garlic bread (6/10) was pale and had no taste of garlic: just butter, salt and pepper. At least it tasted fresh and warm. We had spumoni (9/10) and tiramisu (6/10) for dessert. Enjoyed the spumoni but I would skip tiramisu when coming back: beautifully presented but all the art was on the plate, instead of in the flavor of the tiramisu. Ricci's has been around since 1944. But from the outside and inside, you wouldn't guess that. The building seems pretty modern, as well as the interior, a somewhat classic upscale vibe. I really want to like this place (I have a fondness for historic dining) and I look forward to coming back to try the sandwiches and the pizza, both of which look good.

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.

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.
