Just to get it over with; the buffalo wings were eh.. They seemed not so fresh and not the highest quality. This is the reason for the 4 stars. BUT THE PIZZA??? Oh wow, so good. We got the LBC pizza and it was delicious. I usually don't eat my pizza crust but nothing went to waste on this pizza. The crust was so chewy and tasty. Service was wonderful and the place was quiet. read more

I have been coming here as a regular customer for years. Typically everything is great and I love to rave about the sourdough crust. However, the last two orders I have noticed the quality inconsistent and in decline. Our normal order is a pepperoni pizza and side of 8 wings (black garlic wings). The previous order of black garlic wings were excellent but the pizza had way too much sauce. The ratio seemed to be off that time. It was almost more sauce than cheese. Today I decided to place an order and they no longer carry the black garlic wings, what a huge let down. Also there was a new flavor, cacio e pepe wings, so we decided to give it a try. I personally felt the new flavor was almost flavorless. They were inconsistently tossed. Also today the pizza was soggy. I hope the quality gets back up to the quality they have been known for in the past. read more

Randomly stumbled upon Speak Cheezy in Long Beach and so glad we stopped in. They specialize in sourdough pizza and it shows. Got a slice of the LBC - mozzarella, pepperoni, fennel sausage, ricotta, garlic, oregano, and parmesan, and it was really good. The crust was perfectly crunchy, the toppings were generous, and every bite had so much going on in the best way. The combo of fennel sausage and ricotta especially worked really well together. Interior is fun and casual, and staff were friendly. Solid spot if you're in the area, would definitely go back to try more slices! read more

Took me forever to try this place but it will take much less time for me to return! Our whole family loved it. The kids loved the pepperoni pizza. They were a little surprised that it wasn't cheesier, given the business name, but nonetheless, the really liked their pizza. The Brooklyn Bee is outstanding. Perfect combo of sweet and savory. I was bummed they were out of their cesar salad so I'll be back soon to try that. Customer service was super friendly. The place is adorable. There are tons of other things to buy inside (like gifts and clothing). We had an easy time parking on the street for pick up. Like I said, can't wait to be back. read more

I had high hopes for this place after seeing a few videos on Instagram recently. I tried their truffle shuffle and it was decent at best. I feel like this place has a ton of potential to be super cool if they just live it up a little bit by even playing a little music. The inside decor of the place was really cool, and the customer service was pleasant. I did notice that they have like a little pick up window. Where perhaps you could grab a slice and go versus going inside. Parking is on the street and free. If you're unsure about trying this place, I recommend going during lunch for their lunch special but to buy a whole pie I don't know if it would be worth it unless you're sharing with people read more

Ordered a Detrot and got a loaf of bread:( As a native of southeast Michigan, I consider myself a Detroit pizza expert. As such, I've been looking for a local joint that can come close to replicating Buddy's or even Buscemi's pizza. Another strikeout here. Best so far is Ria's in HB and my own kitchen, of course. read more

I have to say, this is probably the worst slice deal in America (and I've eaten a lot of slices at a lot of places). With tax and tip each slice came out to a little over $10, in this economy?! However, their full Pizza prices are in line with what you would expect from a place like this, so this is probably a place I would only recommend coming if you want a whole pizza. It does have a very cute ambiance and it's a bit of a cozy location with not a ton of seating, but it gets the job done. I was also a little disappointed because of the hype around the crust, it really didn't taste that unique, but one of the pizzas I had was very flavorful (the Truffle Shuffle). I really regret not getting the vodka slice because the gentleman at the counter said the other option was better, but I've heard very good things about their vodka pizza from others. At some point I would like to come back here and give this another try, maybe in a group setting and getting a whole pizza to-go. I also heard their ranch is very good, but I forgot to try it this time. Food: 3/5 Service: 3.5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Value: 1/5 (for slices) Overall: 3/5 read more

Long Beach's cornerstone pizza shop that has a lot to say and definitely here to stay. It proudly boasts a finely tuned sourdough, perfecting the crust and overall feeling to the dough. Throughout every visit, they've hit all the marks when it comes to different types of pies and each experience was consistently awesome. Offering more than just slices and squares, theres always something for someone. I recommend any of their hot honey or burrata pieces as it's my favorite combo but that veggie mushroom pizza is another level too. They always are quick with orders or heating up slices but i do recommend calling in when busy. Stepping in always feels like getting a classic pizza shop experience with big city quality. People are free to enjoy their slice and just hangout in or outside. The weekends are almost movie like with a friendly neighborhood vibe that will reel you in. read more

The sourdough crust is really something great, the salt, the crunch, the gluten. It's an extremely strong foundation for the pie. The sauces- white, tomato, or vodka are also fantastic. It's ironic that a place with "cheezy" in name does not serve a very cheesey pizza at all, and I do love some cheesey pizza... I intentionally was 10 minutes late to pick up my pizza in hopes that it would guarantee it would be ready, and it worked. Alas other customers who walked in to pick up were told "should be put in 10 minutes" to their dismay. So there is still some weird POS action and the shop itself has some sort of swag deficit, like you don't wanna be in there too long for some reason. All that aside they make a fantastic pizza that is unique and easy to recommend, and is at a good location. read more

Yes, please, thank you, and may I have another? Speak Cheezy is everything good about pizza and definitely one of the top pizza shops in Long Beach for a reason. I ordered the Brooklyn Bee. The crust was incredible, and the ingredients used were delicious and well balanced throughout the pie (including the hot honey - yum!). I ordered online for an easy breezy pickup. The hardest part is just finding parking when it's peak hours. read more

Hands down one of the best pizzas in the area. This pizza is so unique and I'm obsessed!! As a spicy vodka rigatoni pasta enthusiast, I gravitated toward the Spicy Vodka Meatball and the sauce is incredible. The mozzarella pairs well with the spice and the every topping balances each other out. It is a bit pricey but honestly I think it's worth it! You can't find a pizza like this anywhere else Although I've only been here a few times, the workers are always nice and good vibes! They even help me narrow down what I should get when it was my first time. read more

It's a small pizza shop. Mostly for takeout but they do have a couple tables. We had ordered the LBC for pickup. They weren't busy but there was a lot of staff behind the counter. They helped me immediately upon entering. The LBC is Mozz, pepp, fennel sausage, garlic, ricotta, pecorino, parsley, oregano. Delicious pizza! Hard to find good pizza in California. While it's a bit pricier of an option, I'd come back. It's delicious! Parking is street. But on the side street of the building you're technically not allowed to park there. So we did just temporarily for pick up. read more

Pizza and carb lover conosseuirs (can't spell this word, sorry) unite!!! If you have an addiction born out of the COVID lockdown, you can visit this place that makes this carb for their pizzas. I got the LBC (Long Beach City) pizza and the smell alone was heavenly. Crispy crust with that bubbled crust and thin slice of dough baked to perfection and not overloaded with toppings(unless you want to add extra toppings), this was very good. The kicker are those cups of pepperoni which are a cardiologists nightmare but a pizza lovers dream on top. Service was quick even though most people seemed to have called in their orders ahead of time(smart) and I was informed it would be a 155 minute wait for my pie, I didn't mind. Ambience is pretty much grab and go although there is bar stool seating and 2 tables if you want to eat in the shop. All pies are 14 inches in diameter and, as mentioned before, you can always add toppings to your pies if you want. A little on the pricey side, but you can't mess with quality as their dough is formented for 4-5 days (?) and the quality ingredients can't be beat. Parking is limited with a small lot in the back and street parking. Credit/debit only, no cash. Oh, and they also sell shaved ice too. Slices are available, but limited to what they offer that day, so be flexible with your menu choices. Happy eating!! read more

Staff at the counter were great giving me recommendations since it was my first time. And of course, I awkwardly picked none of them! I ordered a Smokey Pepperoni pie and decided to wait with a slice of cheese (not pictured) as a test control. I think sourdough pizza changed my life. The crust is so light and crispy, which is how I like pizza dough as a native from the East Coast. We also got a slice of the Spicy Pancetta Chicken Ranch. I love the fresh dill, it really made it pop! Inside has a few chairs and tables to sit and eat but it's mostly quick service. read more

Pizzas by the Slice are available. (Today all 3 were the thicker style of pizzas) They usually have their 3 best sellers available for the slice options $7+ The slice i ordered is the LBC: Crushed Tomatoes, Mozzarella, Ezzo Pepperoni, House Fennel Sausage, Ricotta, Sliced Garlic, Sicilian Oregano, Parmesan Quality sourdough, good ingredients. I prefer them NY style but i will come back w a few people to try their whole pie! The gentleman that assisted me was very friendly and detailed! Thank you (Parking in the rear) read more

The wait for my item was too long. I had one order, which was a to dye pizza. I ordered ahead of time, 30 min ahead. I wasn't expecting my pizza to be done when i got there as I got there about 3 min before it was ready. That was no biggie, I came inside let them know and they said it would only take about 5 more minutes. I ended waiting 20-25 minutes waiting for a pizza that I ordered ahead of time. I intentionally ordered ahead to avoid waiting this long- I expect this kind of wait if I ordered at the counter. Not only that, but the employees didn't seem concerned with the extent of the wait. Which made the environment seem a bit, careless. My advice: order maybe an hour ahead and see if your pizza is going to have a 20-25 min waiting time on top of that or maybe it'll be cold from waiting. Your choice. * suppose to be ready by 8:33pm, got it at 8:54. read more

Me and my wife's absolute favorite pizza spot. Little bit pricey but always well worth it!! Love getting the LBC and the garlic cheesy bread! Food is amazing overall! Would 100% recommend if you haven't tried it already! read more

Came back to have their Black Garlic white pizza and their Tie Dye 2.0, which features their vodka sauce and pesto sauce. Of course, I got the pizzas on their 14" sourdough crust; however, they do have a cauliflower option for vegans and a thin crust option for those who prefer that. In the summer, another cool offering is their shaved ice, which they call "speak freezy". They only had a limited offering of flavors on this friday afternoon, but I'm glad I got it. While I prefer korean bingsoo, as a korean shaved ice is usually a creamy shaved snow, this Hawaiian-inspired shave ice is quite refreshing on a hot day. If you get it, splurged with the snow cap (condensed milk) and the soft serve. Overall, you should come by this Long Beach Pizzeria for their house-made sourdough crusts and their heavy-handed offerings of cheese and toppings of their special flavors. Their brooklyn bee is still my favorite pizza flavor and I think their salads are nice; however, I can't say that I'm a fan of their oven-baked wings. read more

Amazing place and amazing Pizza. Run don't walk to this spot. Especially the girl in front, Abby, she's so nice and thoughtful.

We came all the way from Corona for this pizza The crust is made with a sourdough starter that is absolutely delectable The sauce tastes like it's made in-house. They use quality meats and cheese.You've got to try this pizza! This little spot is located on the corner of 4th /Termino so you'll have to find street parking in the neighborhood. It is small and has limited seating. They offer a great lunch special. It's pricey if you compare it to Domino's but THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT DOMINOS. The customer service is amazing, they definitely made some great suggestions. Oh and they also offer shaved ice if you have a sweet tooth afterwards. read more

Heard about this place from my friend who came when they opened & i just now got to try it but omg hi i #love !!!! pizza was so so so so scrumptious. We got two pizzas & 1 garlic bread & all were 10/10 would recommend to the gals & gays !! my fave was the spicy vodka pizza, tasted just like the pasta in pizza form which was lowkey life changing This seems like a take ur pizza to go more than a sit down type only bc there was only about 3 ish tables. But the inside reminds me of a johnny rockets pizza edition hi Service was also 10/10, two baddies greeted us when we came in & were super nice & greeted us when we left. real recognize real read more

My first time trying this pizza spot and I'm in love! I got the 14" pepperoni pizza and it costed around $27 (with tax, no tip yet). The crust was soooo delicious; it was a sourdough crust and it was probably my favorite part. The sauce, cheese and pepperonis were yummy too. The service was great and friendly! I saw a lot of people come in and out as I waited for my pizza (took about 10 mins), and it seemed like everyone knew each other/that locals go here all the time, which was nice to see. There's limited seating inside but it wasn't too busy when I went. The decorations were also cute - art on the walls, designs on the walls, etc. They have so many different flavors, and with how tasty their pizza is, I'd definitely come back again. They also have a lunch special everyday (12-4 pm), where you get a slice of pizza and salad for $10 - such a good deal! read more

Went at opening and had my pizza ready in 20 minutes. Love that there was no wait. Taste of both pizzas was phenomenal. The crust had great crunch and flavor. Some parts were too burnt for my liking. The LB mushroom collaboration pizza was stellar. Wonderful balance of flavors and ample toppings. I really liked how the pickles balanced the earthy shrooms. Both pies didn't have too much cheese so the crusts stayed crisp. Pepperoni got a nice crunchy char without being burnt. Flavor profile for the truffle pizza was excellent. I wish the crust wasn't 2"+ in some places. For a 16" pizza to have potentially 4" of crust in diameter is a sad day when they're $27. And no, the width of crust wasn't only due to the bubbles in the crust. read more

Lives up to the hype. This is a freshhh pizza. Just on pizza alone it's a 5. Seriously can't wait to come try their other specialties. We ordered on a Friday around 7:30 and it was ready in 30 minutes. Food: The LBC was delicious. The fennel sausage is the star of the show on this one with the ricotta being its co-lead. The pepperoni is amazing but was more of a supporting character. They light on the sauce but the freshness and depth of flavor was spectacular. Tip: if you live 15 minutes away like me, I'd eat there on in your car cause it does get cold fast. read more

Honestly it's overpriced but it is good pizza. I would get it more often if it wasn't stupidly expensive ($40 for one with two ranches and a tip on DoorDash). Speak Cheezy is up there with my other favorites of Little Coyote and 4th Horseman. They're all a bit different of course, but I really enjoy the sourdough crust here. Note that while I love it, not all my friends have the same enthusiasm (they prefer Thai Curry Pizza, Canadian Pizza, and Pizza X2) - but if you like the places I mentioned earlier then it's worth giving this spot a try (when you have extra cash). read more

Honestly some of the best pizza I've had in a long time! You can either order a full pie or order by slice. Each slice is large and we found that one slice was enough for one person. We tried the carbonara, truffle, vodka sauce with meatball, and tie dye slices and loved all of them. Everything was super flavorful and the sourdough crust was the best part, crisp in some parts and fluffy in others. Only downside is that seating is limited. read more

Very high quality pizza and ingredients, as reflected in their prices. Our favorites are the LBC and the Tie Dye 2.0... Unfortunately they changed the Tie Dye (now called the To Dye For) somehow in the past year and we don't like it as much. Regardless, their vodka sauce is amazing and the garlicky cheezy bread is good too--make sure you get a side of marinara for dipping! So yummy. If you're after a quick, cheap pie, this isn't the place. But if have time, a little extra money, and want some truly delicious pizza, stop in at Speak Cheezy. read more

The waiting time is long, very long! Ordered ahead of time and I get there and I still had to wait a lot!

I got the aka vodka and it was pretty good! I enjoyed the sauce and the crust. I do wish there were more red onions, garlic, and basil. I added the truffle chili oil crisp as a dip and that was not worth it. There's no truffle flavor. The crisp aspect is fine. The food takes a while to come out, which is to be expected. Order ahead if you're hungry. read more

This place is AMAZING to say the least. We came in shortly after they opened and ordered their Margherita pizza. The pizza did take some time but Pete ( manager ? ) let us know the doughs hadn't been thawed enough and offered us drinks in the mean time. Once the pizza came out, it didn't stand a chance. With other pizzas, you usually feel bloated or heavy but this sourdough pizza feels so light. The place itself is nicely decorated, with merch and of course pizza boxes. While the pizza is delicious, Pete's customer service made the experience even better. read more

Excellent pizza, but soooooo expensive. Maybe we will order it when we are feeling flush.

After hearing about a sourdough pizzeria with alleged NY style pizzas, I have to admit I was a bit skeptical.. but after ordering The Heights pizza we're on board. Admittedly, $25 for a 16 inch pizza without toppings is steep, but we bit the bullet so to speak and the pizza itself is pretty solid. It's labeled as "New Haven" style, which competes with Jersey and NY for the style of pizza you're looking for coming straight from the tristate area. All in all, we haven't explored the full menu, but when you're looking for a pizza fix and you're open to the price, this is a great choice. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Solid neighborhood pizza joint with great crust. The hubby and I'd been meaning to try this place for quite a while but hadn't had the chance until just recently, when we were in the area to visit Flux Art Space across the street. We just wanted a snack so shared a cheese slice, which is always our baseline. We both thought the wood-fired crust was great, but could've had a bit more cheese, especially considering that they have "cheese" in their name. They do offer quite an interesting selection, though, like a purple potato pizza that looked intriguing. We'd definitely like to try more of their stuff! read more
