This time I tried the chorizo with egg whites instead of Asada with egg whites. It wasn't my favorite, but that had nothing to do with how it was cooked or served--it just wasn't for my taste buds. I'll definitely stick to the asada next time! This location is always clean, and I love the decor and overall vibe. Just make sure to get there early because they definitely get busy! Always a solid breakfast spot in LB.

Since I was eating by myself, I just went with the slices. They have creative slices that are topper with pretty high end ingredients. The service is quick, friendly, and helpful. I can't 100% remember the slices I ordered, but I think they were the Carne Asada slice and a brisket barbecue slice. Either way they were delicious impact with delicious toppings. Best of all the slices weren't super expensive. It felt like a great deal considering the type of slices I was ordering. The vibe here is chill. I think it's conducive for takeout. I can't remember if there was any seating here, but I ordered near closing time so I didn't look or ask.

The bbq chicken pizza was extremely sour and salty. And the best one Jamaican pizza had barely any sauce on it. Extremely dry. We also ordered the wings and all three flavors were not at all the same. I don't know if the chef has changed or it was a careless night but honestly it was a major let down.

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.

Had a great previous experience and went back! We definitely had the tiramisu in mind w our decision to go back since it was sooo good! Unfortunately that was the only miss this time! Still tasty but we got the smallest end piece and it didn't even have lady fingers in half the slice and the slice was also half the portion we got last time :( Tomato soup - wooh salty! The flavor would've been great if they didn't add so much salt. It was just so salty that we couldn't finish it and you needed bread for dipping. Spaghetti and meatballs - We were really looking forward to trying this dish as it's my husband's favorite. We were surprised to find that it only comes with two meatballs, we would've thought it would be double that for the price and portion. Meat sauce was good, although I do prefer more sauce than they gave and a slightly thicker sauce as well, and meatballs were mushy. It's the soft kind of meatball where the meat is more ground and therefore mushy, and I dont like that type as much personally, I like having chunks of meat in my meatball. Eggplant Parmesan - was definitely looking forward to trying this as well! It was pretty good. My personal preference is more cheese and a slightly thicker sauce but it had a great flavor of all. Tiramisu - our biggest disappointment. We got the end corner piece and seemed to be the last slice perhaps. The slice was half the size as the portion we received as last time we came here. barely any ladyfingers since it was the edge and it was therefore mostly cream. It just wasn't the same, definitely a miss. Last time we had a nice tall slice with plenty of ladyfingers and espresso, this time it just felt so lackluster with mostly cream and not a lot of anything else and also the height was a lot lower due to it being a corner slice I assume. Honestly as soon as we saw it we were disappointed and I don't feel like they should've served that slice to a paying.

Beef Lasagna. Amazing! The best in the west.

Today, we…read morewere craving pizza by the slice, and our usual spot was closed, so I decided to give them another try. We ordered four slices of pizza. Each slice is $3.75, or you can get two slices for $7.50 plus tax, so there's really no discount. I paid cash and noticed I was charged $7.99 for two slices instead of the advertised $7.50. I pointed it out to the man who took my order, but he insisted I wasn't overcharged. I even showed him the menu and the payment screen, where you could clearly see the discrepancy (see photos), but he was dismissive and said the register never makes mistakes. I had a long day at work and wasn't about to argue over less than a dollar. Still, it's the principle. Charging customers more than the posted price and refusing to acknowledge it is not okay. It made my experience very disappointing. As for the food, we ordered two pepperoni slices, one pepperoni and mushroom, and one ham and pineapple. The toppings were good, but this is definitely not New York-style pizza. The crust was overcooked and so dry that it was close to tasting like cardboard. I wouldn't recommend this place. If you do decide to eat here, pay close attention to the price you're charged and ask for a receipt.

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! :)

When I first arrived, there was a family sitting outside who I initially assumed were customers, but I later realized they appeared to be the owners. There was just a lot going on, with people going back and forth between sitting outside and going inside where the food was being prepared. Personally, that made me a little uncomfortable. I understand that it may be a family-owned business and everyone operates differently, but I would have preferred to see a little more separation between hanging out outside and preparing food. We ordered quite a bit: a pepperoni and jalapeño pizza, lasagna, buffalo wings, and the Mediterranean salad. The Mediterranean salad was actually the best thing we ordered. It tasted fresh and was probably the highlight of the meal. The garlic bread that came with the lasagna was also good. Unfortunately, the lasagna tasted like it may have been previously frozen, and overall, the rest of the food just didn't impress me. I also noticed that several of the prices on the menu appeared to have been changed by hand, with the old prices covered and new prices handwritten in. I completely understand that prices increase, but combined with everything else, it added to the overall disorganized feeling of the experience. Unfortunately, after eating the food, my stomach became extremely upset. I can't say whether it was the pizza, lasagna, wings, or something else entirely, so I'm not going to assume what caused it. I can only say that I felt fine beforehand and had a very upset stomach afterward, which obviously didn't help my overall impression of the experience. I really wanted to like this place, especially because it's so close to home, but unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. Between the atmosphere, the food, and how I felt afterward, I personally wouldn't return.
