This place has been around for a good year, and I can safely say that the pizza here is pretty good. We came on a holiday, so there was an issue with food being short, but not pizza. They have a good amount of seating and I believe they have a second floor. I kept things simple, and just ordered pepperoni and mushroom. I got a beer and my wife got a soda. The pizza was thin crust and the flavors were really good on top of it. My wife prefers a little more sauciness, but she enjoyed each slice. We will definitely be coming back to try the Caesar salad and the wings, because apparently their Korean style wings are very popular.

My favorite pizza place is Prince Street Pizza. Correction: my favorite pizza place WAS Prince Street Pizza because Dirty Pepperoni just blew my mind out. With its sumptuous eats and convenient hours and location, this place has it all. I HIGHLY, and I mean HIGHLY, recommend the Dirty Pepperoni and Chef's Special as the starting pizzas because, oh my dear, they taste absolutely scrumptious. The Dirty Pepperoni comes littered with artisan pepperoni -the kind curls while being baked in the oven; all while drizzled with their hot honey, giving this pizza a sweet kick (and licks!). The second pizza one should try here (in the same sitting) is the Chef's special. Unlike the DP (dirty pepperoni), this one is a white pizza made with their white garlic sauce and topped with bacon. There's an important tip to this pizza: while absolutely fantastic on its own, DO ask for the hot honey sauce to this pizza. It takes this pizza from level 50 to level 100. Man, I can't stop thinking about how much it elevated the experience it added. However, if you're tire of hot honey, do get the chef special, it is great on its own! Lastly, I want to shout out to Moe for being an MVP employee. She was so friendly and helpful - she's the person who convinced us to try their house sauces (their house ranch and a ROSE ranch) and add the hot honey to the Chef's Special. Thanks to her, our pizza standards will never be the same.

Pepperoni and jalapeño's. My half added mushrooms her half she added pineapple

First time here The atmosphere here is awesome. Kinda dim. The waiters are on top of it. Pizza was so good. It came out fast. The wings were also real good. The prices are very reasonable also. I definitely recommend.

Medium Smoked Buffalo Brisket and Medium The Naked Pizza
Andrea D.

My friend and I wanted to try a new pizza spot and found The Dirty Pepperoni on TikTok :) We got the naked pizza, the smoked buffalo brisket, and the dirty ceasar. Everything was fantastic! The salad was so light and refreshing, the pizzas were made perfectly and have a thinner crust which is my favorite. Between the two pizzas I like the Naked Pizza more. Don't get me wrong, the smoked buffalo brisket was really good, but next time I think I would ask for the blue cheese on the side or to go light on it. It overpowered the rest of the flavors in my opinion. Still delicious though! I got a side of the pink sauce which almost tasted like a sweeter ranch. It was a good flavor to mix with the pizzas :) The servers were very attentive and nice! They checked on us frequently to make sure the food was good and if we needed anything. We sat on the first floor that included a small bar and ordering station along with a soda fountain so you could grab a drink as you see fit! It was slow when we went so we almost had the place all to ourselves. It was kept clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone looking for a good pizza :)

Hell yeah

Wish my mother still lived at the Lafayette building across the street then it would be more of an excuse to visit more often but my god, the pizza was mighty good, and wuuut, they give you honey to pour over the pepperoni. That was new to us and it was interesting in a good way! The wings don't come in flats but we still liked them, the pink ranch was also different, though good. We enjoyed two pitchers of beer, and watched the game. Our server was bubbly and attentive, we appreciated her warm service. The place is cool, not busy on a Tuesday for lunch- def be back since we do business downtown, good reason for us to revisit! Thanks!

First off, the staff here are super friendly and helpful. Also, the personal pizza is a good deal and hella delicious! I got mine with jalapeños and black olives.

The dirty pepperoni pizza with hot honey
Lydia J.

Our server, Kumari was amazing!! Our first time there and right off the bat she made us feel so welcome, like we were long time customers. The food is the best. We got the dirty pepperoni pizza and WOW!! Flavor explosion!! Great choices for beer as well. There is indoor and outdoor seating, super comfy. The weather was great for sitting outside also. As we sat there we noticed not one or two but at least 9 people walk in who Kumari greeted by name. She knows her customers and they love her. Talk about an ambassador for a pizza joint! Left her a 25 dollar tip on the receipt and my husband said here give her 20 more, I gave it to the owner I hope he passed it on. That's how impressed we were. Her timing was great she was nothing but smiles and the food was nothing but amazing. Thanks and we will see you again!! Definitely going back with more people next trip! I'm

The Linden! Yummy and fresh!

We had an great experience at Dirty Pepperoni! Located in downtown Long Beach, it was the perfect choice for us after a night out at Disney on Ice, at the Long Beach Arena. The staff was super welcoming and provided great service throughout our visit. A special shoutout to Lorraine (hope I spelled her name right), who truly went above and beyond to make our time there pleasant. Her A1 customer service and genuine hospitality made such a big difference. The food did not disappoint at all. We ordered a personal pizza with olives and sausage for our baby girl, and it was perfect. She gave it a 29 out of 10 lol! My husband and I shared a pepperoni and sausage pizza with light garlic sauce, topped with a hot honey drizzle and ranch. It was absolutely delicious. Their hot honey has a thicker honey like consistency with a nice kick, unlike other hot honey sauces I am used to that are thinner and more like hot sauce with a honey flavor. I was initially a little skeptical, but it ended up being the perfect addition to the pizza. The thin crust was perfectly cooked and had just the right balance of crisp and chew. We also tried the Linden salad, which was fresh and flavorful, packed with yummy veggies and Canadian bacon. The house rose gold ranch was unique and delicious.Beautifully pink and tasty! We were craving their delicious pizza the next day and only wished this spot was closer to us, but we will definitely be coming back. Only downside was the fountain drinks were out of order this night. But they still had plenty of can soda options as well as a full bar with beer on tap. Otherwise, highly recommend for great food, great people, and a great vibe! They are also open late which makes it a great spot to stop at for food after a night on the town!

Large Pep and Wings

Pizza was mid. Got a Large pepperoni and an 8-piece wing. Wings are mid as well, with little to no meat and the buffalo had no spice. The pink ranch threw me off and the flavor didn't go well with the pizza.

I got the Dirty Pepperoni w/hot honey and it was Legit w/the garlic sauce Great selection of beers on Tap - I got Voodoo Ranger - More bang for the buck Will be back w/ the homies to try more on the menu

This was my first time ordering from Dirty Pizza, and we went with the thin crust. I have to admit... I'm usually not a pizza person, but WOW--this one surprised me! It's unlike any pizza I've had before. The crust is paper-thin, perfectly crispy, with a little hint of sweetness followed by a nice kick of spice. It's one of those pizzas that keeps you reaching for "just one more slice." Seriously... look how thin that crust is! We ordered it for pickup, and the service was super fast. If you're looking to try something a little different from your usual pizza, Dirty Pizza might just surprise you like it surprised me. Place is nice,and has second floor.

Bar at 9pm 2 drinks already sold out

Dirty Pepperoni 5/5 - thin crispy crust and I liked that there was a little burn in the pepperonis Dirty Caesar salad 3.5/5 - the dressing was a little lacking in flavor but overall a decent Caesar salad 5/5 ambiance - limited seating indoors but lots of outside seating with half of the area with heat lamps and the other side without. 5/5 customer service - great friendly and amazing staff

Just for pizza 5 stars. Keep thinking about this pizza. I already want to go back!!! Late night vibe poppin. Our waiter was great but the wait time was terrible. Got our wings waaay after our pizza. Our pizza took almost 45 min to get out. Definitely call to pick up. Like most of Long Beach, parking is rough but it's worth it. Dirty Pepperoni Pizza -- it's not grease it's hot honey! Sooo fricking delicious. New York style and the flavor bussin! Between 2 of us there was no leftovers. Buffalo Wings -- big decent size but a little on the dry side (inside the chicken). Sauced down which I loved. Pretty acidic which wasn't for me. Fountain drinks had hella options too plus beer on tap! This a win for Long Beach.

Any vegan options?

Yes you can order without meat

Are there poultry options for the Pizza,.. can I order the night before for pick up exactly at 11?

Do you offer slices during lunch?

Hey Holly. Apologies for such a delayed response. We don't offer slices, but we think we actually have a better option. As we were debating on how to best serve our customers with the freshest slices possible, we realized that we could basically…

It's the perfect spot to visit before any get together. Whether you're hosting a cocktail hour or football with the boys, Olives has you covered for every occasion. I can spend hours exploring their tight shelves of Italian goodies. Their offerings include unique beverages, homemade meals, baked goods, sauces, seasoning, dessert, cheese, meats, etc. It would be the ideal place to visit if you were building out a scrumptious cheese board! I especially love their sandwich bar. Everything is fresh and made to order. The selection is large, so you'll need to return to explore it all.

It's fun to shop around while you wait for your sandwiches to be prepared. Ordering can be done online. We went on a Saturday around noonish and they line was 4-5 people deep. Definitely order ahead if you're short on time. Food: I ordered the Naples sandwich. It has Oven roasted turkey, provolone cheese, herb aioli, bacon, tomato, arugula on focaccia. Super delicious and decent size. The menu has plenty of sandwiches to choose from. I would recommend this one, but would try another one because why not? Service/Ambiance: The service is quick and all of the staff is friendly. I would recommend Olives Gourmet Grocer. It is a perfect place to go to if you're going to the beach or having a picnic.

I actually came here to try the Hawaiian place, but there was no parking on that side so I opted to try out Ike's instead. I have never been a huge fan of a warm sandwich. I prefer eating half a sandwich now and saving the other half for later. I had not been before and their menu is humongous so took me a few min to decide. What I do love about that is they have a ton of offerings for vegetarians. I was one for 16 years and usually your only options it to take the meat off something. It's nice when establishment actually has you in mind! I decided on the dirty reuben on sourdough. I opted to add pickled red onions as that sounded delicious. It came with roast beef, cole slaw, and melty american cheese, plus lettuce and tomato. Beware of eating in the car, lettuce got literally everywhere, but there were only two bites left behind from the whole sandwich. I skipped breakfast today so I guess I was hungry or it was just that good. There is a pretty large inside dining area if you wanna come w your school buddies to eat here. There is a mobile ordering station if you're shy or need the accessibility. It is quite high up though so not necessarily accessible for a wheelchair user.

On previous visits, I've sometimes waited closer to 15-20 minutes, so this was a very welcome surprise. I ordered the pastrami sandwich on a roll, and they certainly didn't skimp on the meat. It was generously piled high--exactly how I think a good pastrami sandwich should be served, with so much meat it practically falls out with every bite. The pastrami was flavorful, and the portion was impressive. My husband ordered the beef dip and gave it equally high marks. His sandwich was also generously filled, and he said the beef was delicious. These are seriously substantial sandwiches. We could only manage half of each before the concert, which turned out to be a bonus--the other halves became a very satisfying late-night treat. Modica's delivered where it matters: generous portions, satisfying sandwiches, good flavor, and this time, impressively quick service.
