I found Pizzamania back in 2005 and I have been eating there ever since. The staff there has always been so friendly. Over my lifetime I have had many pizza's from many places, but theirs is by far is the best pizza within 100 miles of Long Beach. The staff is always kind and if you've been there a few times they will even greet you by name... that's just how they are. The crust is fantastic and as for the toppings well how do I say this... They actually add toppings. I don't know about you, but I've had pizza where I was left thinking Ummm, could you spare a mushroom or an olive? Not there! Pizzamania tops their pizza generously. Here's a photo of a "Special Pizza" (their house special) If you haven't had their pizza give them a try. read more

Pizzamania - "Special Pizza" (cheese, pepperoni, mushroom, bell pepper, onion, and ham) Mine was skip the Ham and OMG, yum! - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

My new favorite local pizza joint! Tens across the board from the freshest ingredients to watching them grate fresh mozzarella cheese for their pizzas! Even the chicken on the buffalo chicken pizza was fresh and juicy! Crunchy veggies and a very clean and well stocked salad bar! The pizza crust was perfect and like they say if the pizza crust is good the pizza is going to be great! The only thing I would criticize would be the ranch dressing! Super watery but in the grand scheme of things that does not even matter because everything else was 10/10 read more

I ordered a veggie with sausage and easy tomatoes, it was my first experience here and I was very surprised how GOOD it was! I'm back again and hopefully it's just as good. Give them a try!!!! read more

This place has been added into our family's rotation of favorite pizza spots. The dough is my favorite part- it's super soft and fluffy so even the crust is a big part of the appeal. The prices are fair and their salad bar is good, too. They have two or three games that the kids like to play when we go there. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the customer service is comically terrible. We literally laugh at how incredibly rude the girls that work the register are. One of the girls is much more rude than the other. One time we were ordering and my husband ordered a sandwich. She asked him if he wanted the sandwich, hot or cold? And he said, "oh, hmm how is that hot?" And she gave him an annoyed look and said, "it's heated up." LOL Then one time my four-year-old dropped his cup on the ground before we were able to get a drink, so I asked her for another one and she pursed her lips tilted her head like she definitely did not believe me and then rolled her eyes and gave me another one. I think it speaks to how good the pizza is that we still come back here pretty often despite how rude the customer service is. Haha Check it out if you are looking for some tasty pizza without the warm fuzzy service. read more

This place is so good and the best part is that they're ranch (so so good) is UNLIMITEDDDDDD

Came in for lunch because I had a print job to done next door. Hitting two birds with one stone. Work and lunch. Win win in my book. But anywho, my Pizzamania experience was interesting. I went in being the only customer at the time and I looked over at the menu and ordered myself a slice of pepperoni and cheese combo which entails a small salad and a soda. The young woman placed a tray with a cup and an empty bowl. Empty huh? And i glanced to the right of me and noticed that there was a salad bar. Woohoo. I didn't get greedy. Just a bit of lettuce, a few slices of cucumber, kalamata olives and doused it with Italian dressing. Then when I went over to get my drink, I saw Barq Root Beer. YES!!!!!!! Haven't had some in ages. Pizza - to my surprise, it was very good. The dough was thick and fluffy but not soggy. Guess it was from all of his air tosses. The crust was nice and crunchy. Wish the entire slice was like the crust. It was lovely. The pepperoni wasn't overly salty which I get sick of from other pizzerias. I'm glad I stopped in for a slice while waiting for my print job to be complete. read more

I DO NOT recommend this business! Most unprofessional interaction I've ever had as a customer! We popped in on a Thursday evening for a quick bite but had the worst and rudest response from the employee. It was our first time here, so we ordered two slices and waited patiently for our food. The staff did not give us a dine-in number or communicate with us about the wait time. No worries, it was pretty empty at this time and we just thought they just needed to warm up the premade slices. But after about 10 minutes of waiting and seeing full pizzas go in and out, we asked if everything was alright with our order. The woman working the register responded "yeah they're warming them up" and walked away. At this point, we were a bit confused and disappointed, so we asked for a refund (which we received). What happened next was that things got bizarre. The young woman working the register handed us a receipt and said "next time, don't be so rude." We were shocked and when we tried to understand her and why this was happening, she began to berate and insult us. In front of other customers, she attempted to instigate a fight with us! This level of rudeness and aggression was shocking, unwarranted, and hateful. I really don't like leaving a negative review, so we tried to call the following day to speak with a manager about our experience. Unfortunately, the person who answered the phone hung up on us and ignored our calls once they heard our request. There are so many wonderful restaurants in Long Beach, but this is clearly not one of them. I am not exaggerating when I say that this restaurant is the single most disrespectful and unprofessional place we've ever attempted to dine at. I highly recommend taking your business elsewhere. read more

Good quick pizza They have a personal pizza and they also have it by the slice Not a lot of parking read more

Great pizza with excellent ingredients. You must try it. I used to go to the Whittier store.

When I was attending CSULB I would visit a few times a week. Now a couple of decade later I decided to try it again. It feels like almost nothing has changed. Pretty cool! The only thing that kinda surprised me is that the prices seem less a value. It was never great pizza but it isn't bad and the sizes are generous. For a struggling college student their lunch deal was a life saver. From time to time I can see myself still visiting out of nostalgia. Hope things continue to change slowly. Edit: Thank you for the reply. If you give students a discount then you deserve another star. Hope less time goes by before visiting again. read more

As a LB State grad, this place will always hold a special place in my heart. There's nothing fancy about Pizzamania, but they have great pizza. In fact, it's so good I've never ordered anything else from here. I probably should, but I digress. The crust is cooked beautifully. The crust has a nice crunch that gives way to a light and chewy dough. The balance of sauce, cheese, and toppings is perfect. Toppings are premium quality. The ambiance is very casual, and the service is consistently quick and friendly. read more

Pizzamania - Meat Lovers Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Pizza was solid just was expecting more. Not bad though and a cool to-go order if you're looking for something quick and easy.

Pizza was ok. Crust not great. 2+ hour delivery time seems extreme. In their defense it was Saturday night. But 2 hrs? Maybe someplace else next time. read more

I had a meeting here with my rowing team and we got a few tables in the back. Parking was a little bit difficult though as the parking lot out front is pretty small. It's a pretty casual hole in the wall pizza place. Our coach bought us some pizza which was pretty good. I liked how cheesy the pizza here is and the crispy crust. The pizza had a good flop too and it wasn't too greasy. I also ordered some pizza for my friends to take home and I have to say their personal pizzas are pretty big. A good place for our meeting and some tasty pizza. read more

We ordered ahead. Food was on time and delicious! Loved that crust! We had one meat lovers and one veggies lovers pizza, both we're excellent. read more

Sergio has brought Pizzanania back to its 80's prime! It's absolutely the best again.

Pizzamania is a Long Beach hidden gem right next to CSULB. I have been coming here for many years and I am never disappointed. Got the medium cheese pizza and a large pizza skin. (which is what they are famous for) The food comes out quick. Pizzamania never disappoints and whenever you want to support a local business this is the place to go and try out. read more

Man, glad I found this hidden gem! This was a great experience better than I expected. Here's why: WHAT WE ORDERED Medium Pepperoni Pizza * The aromatic flavors of thyme and savory, robust tomato are the first thing to come to mind when I took my first bite. In other words, this was a beautiful harmony of flavors! We also loved the perfectly bready gorgeous crust that most places cannot nail for some reason. To add, the portions were wonderful and can feed a party! Overall, it's truly refreshing to eat pizza that feels clean and made with love. I can honestly say I'll be eating here again! read more

Pizzamania - Medium Pepperoni Pizza $18 (after tax) - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

It's mediocre pizza that is relatively affordable near a college campus. The pepperoni was fine. Typical pepperoni, average amount of toppings and cheese. The sauce is unremarkable and the crust has little flavor. The veggie had a ton of toppings but lacked seasoning and was pretty bland. Per some people's advice, we got it "well done" due to the short amount of time they typically keep the pizza in the oven. That meant a slightly burnt crust on some of the pizzas but certainly not over cooked. Don't really want to know what normal is like. Also, in spite of it saying they deliver on yelp, they claimed they don't. Not sure if their delivery guy was off that day. If you want good tasting pizza, you're better off ordering from Porky's. read more

Solid pizza located near Long Beach State. It's an old school pizza joint located in a small strip mall with limited parking. The interior transported me back to the 80's with a checker board counter and a Pac-Man arcade video game. Oh how I used to play when I was a teenager! We were the only customers dining in but they seemed to have several pick up orders. We enjoyed our pepperoni, mushroom, and sausage pizza. The crust was perfectly chewy (loved the dough!) and the prices here were pretty reasonable. I assume now that school is back in session, many college students come here to hang out to break up the monotony of food from the dining halls. It's within walking distance to CSULB. read more

Some of the best pizza you will find in Long Beach, in my opinion. Their service is great, ordering over the phone and picking up an order is very easy, and the pizza dough thickness is just perfect!! This is ALWAYS my go-to pizza place. I highly recommend checking out Pizzamania the next time you are questioning where to order pizza takeout from. read more

Best pizza around. I love there pizza. We have been coming here for over 11 years. Great specials. Its always packed and there is always a line, but worth the wait. read more

Best pizza in Long Beach! Perfect for any CSULB students with a 10% discount. Nice chill atmosphere and Sergio is great.

Some of the best pizza I've ever enjoyed. This pizza joint was my go to for pizza for many many years while I lived in California.

Best local pizza spot in the area. We frequent Pizzamania 2-3 times a month. Not only do we enjoy the food but eating in has been fun. They have some arcade games that make waiting for your food a good time. read more

First time getting a pizza here. Great pizza! It reminds me a lot of the Pizza-mania in Whittier with very similar taste. But this Pizza-mania their crust is perfect! Compared to the whittier location having really doughy crust. I tried the meat lovers 10/10 for me! Will come back when I'm in the area! Also i hope the Whittier Location returns! read more

One of my favorite pizza places since high school. The lunch specials and their pepperoni pizza is just the best! So much cheese and their sauce is delicious. Grabbed 2 slices today for lunch and he made a whole new pizza so I could get fresh and hot slices read more

A bit surprised at the 4+ Yelp rating. A place that's been around for many years must be successfully serving at least a niche community. In this case I suspect it's university students who need a reasonably inexpensive option to fill their bellies. We had a ham and mushroom pizza. Crust had a decent outer texture but no flavor. Sauce was ok. Cheese was light but not as light as toppings. I've never seen ham sliced as thin. I do understand though that economics has something to do with choices and for some this meets a need. For that I'm glad Pizzamania exists. read more

Been coming to this pizza locations almost my whole life. I used to love the pizza! Unfortunately the pizza is just fine now. To me the crust and sauce have changed. Its not like how it used to be. I don't know if there was a change in owners or cooks. But please bring back the original recipe. Maybe covid has forces them to get different suppliars, but its definitely different. Kpasta on lyons and PCH taste more like how pizzamania used to taste. Hope you guys bring back the old recipe so I can put this back to 5 stars. read more

Pizzamania - Pep and olive and pep and Piña - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

I had been to Pizzamania years ago but wanted to post an updated review because their pizza is now really good! Their updated crust recipe is delicious and filling, with generously layered tasty toppings and reasonable prices, this place is so much better than it used to be and I commend them for their recipe glow up! It truly is now my go to Long Beach pizza place! I placed my order to go but took a brief look around while waiting. The inside needs a little TLC, it gives a pizza dive bar feel...if that's even a thing! But it's definitely an old school It's kinda dark inside and has old video games which gives it a whimsical feeling. read more

Pizzamania - Leftover pizza! Look at those generous toppings! (I was so hungry I forgot to take a pic before digging in) - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

We've been coming here for years and the food excellent. Their pizza's are delicious with fresh ingredients. They also have a salad bar with many choices and always very fresh Although it's a small shopping center you will always have a place to park. Everyone is always so kind and friendly Come on.. Give Pizzamania a try you won't regret it read more

it's great pizza don't get me wrong, it's decent amount of toppings since you pay for each one on top of your cheese pizza, but not a whole lot of cheese for a "cheese pizza" that's the Only thing for me, would like more cheese coverage and not just sauce under the crust of my pizza, they are not hurting but who knows maybe I got a bad serving. wings are good but could use more crisp read more

Cute, quaint & just what you need for a quick pizza night! The pizza is good and they have other options (sandwiches, meatballs, salad bar) to choose from. They have beers on tap as well in bottles. They have a couple video games to play while your food is being prepared. Simple, yummy & enough to satisfy your pizza craving. read more

Ordered take out for the family. Had never been despite living practically within walking distance... got a pastrami pizza and bbq chicken (and boring ole cheese for kids). All pizzas were delicious.

Will absolutely be back and read more
