    First yelp review. I know it's tough out there, being in the service industry for 20+ years, but the response from this owner warrants it. The gist - I ordered two pizzas for takeout, in person, for me and my folks - must underscore this was NOT an online order. After dropping one of the pies off to our parents they called to tell us there was no cheese on the pizza. We didn't believe it until they sent us a picture and yep - no cheese. We called the restaurant the next day to understand what happened - apparently they have "rules", and you have to request cheese at Speak Cheezy (but rest assured sauce is automatically included, though). Spoke with an employee and kitchen manager with no reasonable response so I reached out to the owner via Insta, which is the only way I could get a response; this is what he had to say including reinforcing the "rules" for ordering their pizza and that my "poor" parents have nothing to complain about. Then he immediately blocked me - it's insane that a small business owner would approach business this way let alone put this rant in writing. Check it out: My message below + screenshots of Jason's response. ### Hey Jason, [PLEASE READ ] I've been ordering pizza since 1985 @ Dominos - back then, it was premium. Over time, I've learned there is better pizza out there, and your joint has proved that time and time again. Which made my experience last night so disappointing... I was happy to drop off your pizza to my folks last night, until they called to share (complain) their disappointment that the pizza had no cheese. We thought they were crazy so they sent us a picture and it was true - NO CHEESE from Speak Cheezy! This was an in person order, not online. So we called your place this afternoon and spoke to two of your employees - they confirmed and shared the policy for any custom pizza, the customer must ask for cheese. When we questioned your team members why it would not be defaulted/confirmed for cheese on the pizza, their response was "we wouldn't ask you if you wanted olives, would we?" I understand dietary needs have evolved but having to ask for cheese on a pizza is silly. You must agree... We love your place - order on the regular and recommend it to our community + we always tip above the three buttons offered. Please enable us to remain loyal and enthusiastic customers by making this right with a refund or credit for our next pizza and educate your front line team to do the same. Standing by...

    So, I've had this place on my radar for quite some time, and today I happened to see an influencer reviewing it on IG, which finally convinced us to give it a try! So after the movies, my hubby and I decided to check it out. We ordered a Margherita pizza, and I have to say, the cheese and dough were really good! The sauce, however, wasn't quite my cup of tea. It was thicker and more tangy than what we usually prefer. We like our pizza sauce on the lighter, brighter side, with that fresh, sweet-tart flavor. But then came the chocolate soft serve... and THAT was a solid 10/10! Absolutely delicious and definitely a highlight of the visit! Customer service was also very cordial, friendly, and attentive, which always makes the experience even better. Overall, glad we finally gave this place a try!

    Bottom of the pie was not very crispy at all.

    Cute little neighborhood spot. Inside seating is pretty minimal nor well set up. Was not comfortable dining in. We ordered the margarita with sausage.. Wait time was about 30 min. For over $30 I found the toppings pretty thin and was under cooked. Needed more crunch for my taste.

    THE LBC
    Danica

    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!

    Our favorite pizza place in Long Beach (besides mooney's). Great service and their ranch is soooo good.

    Vegan Cheeze with Roasted Mushrooms
    Anji B.

    We've gotten large pizzas to-go several times now. It's a small spot with a tiny dine-in area, basically one table and maybe a bar against the wall. One a nice evening we ate at an outdoor bench, though it was awkward. Their original sourdough crust is super tasty. The Vegan Cheeze pizza is great as-is, with a generous amount melty and delish plant-based cheese, but we've added the vegan pepperoni --which the online menu notes is Green Slice's Veggeroni-- which gives it a bit of a kick. We also tried adding the roasted mushrooms once. There are other plant-based toppings to choose from including oregano, basil, red onion, jalapeños, garlic spinach, roasted garlic, gaeta olives, cipollini onions, and the ever-controversial pineapple. As a vegan, so I can only speak to the vegan options, and I'm so glad they offer them here.

    Lemon pepper wings
    Lindsey H.

    Pizza is good but I have never been more disappointed in a wing in my life! If u like boiled wings maybe u will like these.... What a waste of money! Had one bite and had to throw the rest away. I truly cannot believe they are selling wings after ordering these for the first time. Absolutely disgusting.. Long Beach is an incredible food city I don't know how they get away with having these boiled wings on their menu. If I was giving stars just for the pizza I would put 4 but the wings are bringing my review down to two stars

    Truffle Shuffle
    Crystal G.

    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

    Bloomsdale Slice (white sauce base with a pesto drizzle)
    Jay S.

    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

    George R.

    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.

    Brooklyn Bee
    Sally W.

    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.

    :(

    The thin crust margarita pizza was too thin honestly and no crust. The buffalo chicken pizza was very light on buffalo sauce and the bread was overly charred on the bottom and crust. Place is very clean and staff is very friendly.

    Chris G.

    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.

    Is there indoor seating?

    Yes, a few seats are available at their 2 tables.

    Do they sell plain cheese pizza or plain cheese slice?

    If you look on their website (or ToastTab) you can see all the pizza options, including cheese. Not sure about slices since I've only ordered whole za's.

    I was deciding on lunch with the fam and my aunt recommended SoCal Wings. After browsing their…read moremenu, I was sold and placed a phone order. Our order consisted of four SoCal fries (which are basically buffalo fries from The Buffalo Spot with a drizzle of cheese and ranch), a 10-piece nugget, a small fry, a large order of mozzarella sticks, a Thai tea, and a few sides of sauces. To speak bluntly, the experience turned sour for me as soon as I started placing my phone order. While I was ordering sauces, I was rudely cut off by the man working: "Yeah, yeah, anything else?" I felt like I was being rushed off the phone, even after mentioning it was my first time ordering and kindly asking questions about their sauces. The customer service here just overall gave me the ick. Anyways, onto the food. I was super excited for my SoCal fries. They have a variety of sauces to choose from, and I opted for the spicy BBQ. On first impression I was surprised with the generous portions. I ordered a small Socal fries that looked more like a medium. As soon as I dug into my meal, I was met with immediate disappointment; the popcorn chicken on my SoCal fries was extremely stale. It tasted as if they served us three-day-old fried chicken that had been left sitting out. My siblings and mom also agreed the chicken was super hard. I ended up just eating some of the fries and threw the rest away. Before tossing it, I tried drenching the fries in their Cajun sauce (which is over $1 per sauce, btw), and even though I really wanted to like it, it had a weird aftertaste. On top of that, I just couldn't get past how hard the chicken was. The Thai tea, fries, and mozzarella sticks were just decent. I'd also like to mention that when I was placing my order over the phone, the man said my total was $67 and some change. When I paid in person, the total somehow jumped to $83.69. I assumed that included the Cajun sauces I ordered over the phone, but it actually didn't. I ended up paying a second transaction for the sauces, which was around $8. Had I possibly been charged for the side of attitude I was also served? To reiterate: the service here sucks. Overall, I won't be back as the quality doesn't match prices. You'd think that a joint that specializes in fried chicken and wings would serve fresh chicken but on the contrary, my chicken was inedible, gross, and clearly old. I love supporting local businesses, but I refuse to support a place that exhibits rude customer service and serves subpar frozen food that I could throw together at home. I don't recommend this spot as there are much better establishments in the area.

That said, I have come back many times for both from Geeko. There is plenty of parking. There is a small dine in area with maybe 6-8 tables, but I think many people order to go. The staff are soooooooo nice. They take the time to ask her preferences and encourage me to be adventurous like giving me a side of the spicy sauce that I was initially hesitant to try. (the spicy sauce is definitely on the more spicy side, but just shy of covering up all other flavor) Ordering ahead on the phone is pretty easy since they don't have a super extensive menu. If you are in a hurry and you are ordering wings, all ahead. The wings are made to order and they come out so crispy and so juicy (but hot!). Some wings you get for the combo of the sauce and the chicken, these ones I find myself ordering the crispy original because I get to savor the crunchy with the beautiful umami of the chicken and it is not at all bland. If you order when you arrive, the kimbap is ready in about 5 minutes, but the chicken take maybe another 5-10 mins. Last time I went I also got kimchi fried rice (literally didn't know it was on the menu because I have tunnel vision on the wings). It's a smaller portion than some, but the flavor was so big (rich flavor and spicier than most I've tried). It was the perfect dish for being sated but not overstuffed. I'm definitely working that into the rotation of my order (wings plus one other thing ) in the future!

Metered street parking or you can do laps until you find a spot on the residential side streets that I believe are free without restrictions. If there are signs, I don't know because I chose to park in a metered space and managed time via the app (Passport Parking). Service was great.

The sauce for me I like sweeter - but on that it's probably because I'm used to sauce being covered by cheese and toppings. But I did like it. I'd go back and have it again. I just have to get it out of my head that every place is different and going in with expectations thinking I was gonna have what I had when in Chicago is on me.

It's an open restaurant with communal seating (bar height) in the middle with lower tables on the outside, speaking of - a few tables outside as well. TVs all around.

After positioning in eat mode I decided to pack the rest home instead because the chicken wasn't hot enough. Funny thing is after 1 hour drive my chicken breast piece had some retained heat. Little did I realize the stellar fries kept the breast warm. Shame on this place ... even KFC is enjoyable once order is secured. Their hot sauce packed in cups were good Hopefully they work on the their chicken game because it's comical that their fish outshined the chicken.
