Speak Cheezy just ruined me for other pizza. The Spicy Vodka Meatball is unreal. Perfect crust, rich vodka sauce with real heat, tender meatballs, and that balance where every bite hits. Easily the best pizza I've had in Long Beach and honestly... maybe ever. I also tried the Buffalo Chicken Ranch, and now I'm stuck because I genuinely don't know which one I love more. They do two completely different things and both absolutely nail it. Safe to say: I'll be back very, very soon (and may never be able to move away from Long Beach now) read more

My 8 year old and 6 year old wanted to write a review on how good it is. From them : It's the best pizza place ever. You should definitely go here. And it has really good snow cones. Mom review: I love this place. They catered by 40th bday party and come here all the time. It's one of the best pizza's around. read more

Speak Cheezy - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

By far one of the best pizza spots in Long Beach. The sourdough crust makes it unique and the flavor is so amazing. We just had a cheese pizza which is what we usually start with to rate a pizza place we haven't had because you can tell a lot by just a cheese pizza and I was instantly hooked. I def want to come back and try a square slice soon. Wish there was more seating or an outdoor area because you need to eat it fresh so I ate it in my car. Go try this spot read more

Best part was the sour dough crust not really a fan of the sauce on top of the cheese but still solid !

Hey yous, we're here on the corner. There's parking in the back or i guess its the side over here. Listen I dunno where you've been getting your pizza from but if you're over here, in this neck of the woods of Long Beach? You're getting Speak Cheezy! Hey i just want a slice, get it right here. I want something unique, get the LBC. I want something different, get the hot honey. Yo, that hot honey, it hits! not spicy at all but that flavor! Anyways get over here, pick up like 3 or more boxes and get going OK? read more

good pizza. That's all I can really say. We got a pepperoni with two dips to go and it was good. ... It was $40 which was kind of wild for a single pizza and two dips to pick up. Also it was kind of burned!!?? Probably won't return. read more

Decent neighborhood pizza spot in Belmont Heights. It's on the corner of 4th and Termino, nice neon sign, can't miss it. This was my first time here, called in and ordered the Cheese Please. They make you prepay over the phone, seems weird. It was ready in 15 minutes. I found a street parking spot right in front. It's a hole in the wall place, no frills. The kid was nice who gave me the pie. The pizza is good, I'd give it a 3.5/5. The sauce has a decent flavor. Sourdough crust tasted good but was undercooked, same with the cheese. If they kept it in the oven another 3-4 minutes it could have been cooked correctly. I'm down to try it again but I'll ask for it well done. They have a pizza called "New Haven Style" I'll be back to give that one a shot since that's where I grew up... read more

Speak Cheezy - CHEEZE PLEASE 14" $22 - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

When we want pizza that is different from the norm here is where we go. Great location and fast service.

Great elevated pizza shop. The service is hit or miss but the pizza is stellar in my opinion. I love their style of crust it's airy and crunchy while still having substance and carrying the toppings perfectly. I believe it's sour dough but am not sure. My favorite by fair is the Brooklyn Bee! I am not sure what brand of hot honey they use but it's delicious and adds some actual kick! Price is on the steeper side($30+/pizza) read more

I AM COMING BACK!!! I got the AKA Vodka pizza and added the parmesan cream dollops, and it was honestly one of the best pizzas I've had in a while. The crust was exactly how I like it--light, fluffy, and crispy all at the same time. The size of the pizza was perfect for two people, but honestly, I probably could've finished it myself because it was that good. The ranch tasted like dill which I love and it was perfect for dipping the crust. Now I want to try every other pizza on the menu because if this one was that good, I can only imagine how the rest are. I also heard their chocolate chip cookies are really popular, but I didn't grab one this time. Definitely regretting that now, so I'll be back soon to get one. Overall, everything was delicious and it's a great meal to bring on a picnic! read more

Speak Cheezy - AKA Vodka, add parmesan cream, ask for ranch on the side!! - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Had the LBC, pizza was good. On par with the hype. Nice balance of toppings and flavors. Well done crispy crust. Will be back to try their other specialty pizzas. Not pictured, but also had buffalo wings. Unfortunately they need a bit of work. Rubbery and far overcooked. Excessively seared, and too much char. read more

Visited Speak Cheezy for the first time today to try out the @lbfoodcoma collab pizza, morning glory curry pizza. This was soooo good!!!! Definitely the most unique flavors I've ever had on a pizza and all of them went so well together. But that wasn't even the best part- the crust!!!! OMG the sourdough crust is seriously the best I will definitely be back to try other pizzas just for that. We also ordered the buffalo wings. I didn't love those at all, but I also didn't dislike it. Just okay. Can't wait to come back soon! read more

Had time to drop in for a slice, it's been too long! Had the tie pie slice, truly amazing. Lovely service, they were creating content for social media, the pizza looked great! The sourdough prevails. Forever! Pizza was the perfect amount of crispy chewy and the toppings were lovely, fresh ricotta on top and fresh pesto drizzle. Thoroughly enjoyed this visit. Space is always very clean and welcoming. read more

Was craving pizza I had gotten recommended this place and was excited to try but I was so very let down my boyfriend ordered two pizzas on line told me it gave him an estimated time of 30 min. He went to go pick it up and was told they weren't ready . So he waited then he was told they burned them so they remade the pizzas after waiting another 30 min there he gets the pizzas and brings them back ,our pizzas were completely wrong he ordered one pizza with vegan cheese and they forgot to put sauce on it we also got the lbc pizza with regular cheese well they put vegan cheese on that one and the pizza dough was undercooked so everything in the middle was goopy. So very disappointed at this place especially for the price we paid for these pizzas . Will not be coming back . read more

Price was high. Pizza was good not great. I think there is better pizza in LB. Wife really wanted to try this place because we heard good things. read more

I'm not sure how it was determined that Speak Cheezy is the best pizza in America, but whoever decided this is absolutely right. This pizza is transformative. Every one of them looks like a work of art, and somehow they taste even better than they look. I've had the Truffle Shuffle and the LBC and they're perfect - complex flavors, fresh ingredients, delicious puffy sourdough crust, and incredibly friendly service. Just stopped by for lunch and Ed was kind and attentive to every single customer. These pies are a little pricey, but absolutely worth it! If you want Speak Cheezy on a budget, lunch specials are $10-12 and perfectly portioned. Square pizza with that crispy crust read more

Delicious and you can have a whole pie or just a slice. Great for kids who eat fun free, plain cheese pizza while you can try some pesto or mushrooms, truffles or other exotic options. Fresh, high quality ingredients. Lots of slice choices and great fresh out of the hot oven options. Cookies were fabulous also. Cute place to eat or grab to go. Highly recommend! The employees are friendly and will happily heat up a slice for you! read more

Ummm...yes please. Pizza was fantastic and the Farners market salad was so fresh. Service was great. Not too much about the ambiance as it's very small. read more

Speak Cheezy - Black garlic & the LBC - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Son got two pies for takeout. The dough is well made, has a nice chew and stayed crispy for the drive home. The pepperoni came with hot honey drizzle all over , I liked the larger slices of pepperoni than the usual tiny disks. Basil scattered over the top was a nice addition. The margherita pizza was equally good. Added anchovies to this for a bright contrast. Each large slice is enough to eat folded up and still keep all the drippy sauce in. Came with a small container of Calabrian chili oil, which is another pop is spice. Pricey but definitely delicious. No trouble ordering or picking up. They also quickly responded on social media when the son asked how to reheat. read more

Got a Pepperoni pizza and asked for it well done. Nice cupped pepperoni with a nice amount of crust. And that crust is delicious. Totally Sourdough. Thin in the middle and puffy on the outside. Very nice chewy texture with bubbly brown air pockets. All of there pies are 14". Very nice undercarriage and zero flop. Portnoyisms This is a to go place where most people are carrying out multiple pies. TIP:Half hour wait for a Saturday evening, so beware and maybe call in your order. UPDATE: Leftovers warmed up in a toaster oven taste even better than yesterday!!! read more

Speak Cheezy - Delicious slice of pepperoni - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

I came here last year because I heard on the radio that this establishment got an award or was named the best pizza by a reputable organization. I ordered a Truffle Shuffle and it came after 20 minutes. It was fresh out the oven and pretty hot. The pizza has a very good cheese pull and yummy mushrooms. The crust is both crunchy and chewy and has a sourdough taste. I liked the piped splotches of sauce on this pizza. It tastes like a truffle sour cream and is full of flavor. The only downsides of this establishment is that the price is a bit steep (but you get what you pay for) and the building is a bit small so there isn't a lot of seating when it gets busy. The pizza is very good and does deserve a try. read more

Speak Cheezy - TRUFFLE SHUFFLE - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Would not recommend the wings. Got the Parmesan wings and they were burnt. (Maybe they are blackened?). But did not really have great flavor. Pizza was just ok but I can see how people might like it. Thin and floppy in the middle but just the right amount of crust thickness. The dough had a unique sourdough flavor to it and crispy more than it was soft. We got the LBC, you gotta like the fennel sausage to like it, we would probably skip the fennel sausage and just do pep with the cream if we would order again. There is minimal seating. It's more of an order ahead and take home type of pizza place. Recommend ordering ahead. Good customer service. No pictures since we were already super hungry and ate in the car while driving. read more

Just came in to pick up two pizzas for an online order. Originally when ordering, estimate was originally for 6:08pm. When arriving the pizza was not ready, the young ladies at the counter said it would be 5- 8 more minutes. No problem, I come back in a short time later and wait for 20 more minutes. I go up to the counter and ask as I see pizzas going out, turns out it's been sitting in the warmer behind the whole time I've been waiting. At least ask me what I'm doing since I'm sitting around for the order if they actually called out my name like the young lady said when it was ready. That's what was done with other patrons waiting. For 60 bucks on two pizzas I'm not looking to wait for an hour. read more

This pizza's goooooooood! Had the LBC and it was very good. Def would drive down here and have some. They had an inspection violation, but once you look past that- it's yummy. read more

Good, but not GREAT. Would have liked more of ingredients included on my pizza: I,e meatballs. Toppings were very sparse. Crust very tasty. Service pleasant. Very little seating; mostly to go business. read more

Pizza good flavor. Crust very chewy. Ordered online and for ASAP. And issue when send had it to be ready 1000 hours later. Weird. So I called and confirmed that I needed to pick it up whenever it would be ready. They said come down in 30 minutes. Front counter guy seemed clueless. He didn't know what salad dressing came with a salad that I ordered and I paid extra for ranch and he had no clue. Then they called me at 8 o'clock at night asking me if I was coming tomorrow to pick up the pizza at 12 in the afternoon and saying they weren't gonna be open. Might try again might not. But won't go out of my way. read more

It isn't the first time we ordered from speak Cheezy and they are usually solid. My husband and I were so excited to try their Birria Pizza based on the photos they have on their menu as well as Instagram. The photos are very misleading and we were severely underwhelmed when we received our order. It doesn't even look like the same pizza! No consome, like pictured and stated on their menu, or anything else that makes it a birria pizza! Cheese and 5 pieces of meat!! We might as well have ordered a cheese pizza at this point! I asked the cashier about it and we were assured that the meat was under all the cheese ( it wasn't) such huge disappointment!!! I reached out to their social media handle, as well as sent them an email regarding my experience but haven't heard back from anyone! What a waste of money! read more

Found this little gem walking back to our car. Noticed a group walking with a box of pizza so decided to go look for the shop. I love me some Brooklyn style pizza, but theirs is totally different. It's square cuts and looks like it's Chicago style. Note that they only serve this style for lunch. Then it's the thin brooklyn style as the day goes on. We had their Brooklyn Bee slice and a traditonal pepperoni square slice. I learned from Ron that Carino made our Brooklyn Bee which is salami and sausage. Ed is the one that served us and Ron rang up the pizza. I thought that they would just bag up the slices but Ed said it'll be about a minute or two to heat up the slice. I was shocked and thrilled that they did that. Most places do not do that. So that was already another plus for me! Friendly service and heating up my food. We sat at the island wall and Ed served us the hot pizza. When I looked at my pizza i noticed a drizzle of sauce which I thought was just some olive oil (yes some places do that and I do not know why and do not recommend it either). On top was fresh basil. I love me some basil! Anyways, Ed drizzled a unique sauce and I asked him what it was. He said he it was hot spicy honey. Let me tell you, that spicy honey was off the hook! It adds just enough of a kick in your mouth. If I have to add spice to the pizza, it's not pizza to me. The balance of the honey, spice, fresh basil and the crunch of the crust, but soft inner dough was just awesome. It felt like the pizza melted in my mouth. I noticed the bread was uniquely different. Like I said I'm not a Chicago style pizza fan, but the thickness of this bread is surely appreciated. While chatting with Ed and Ron, they mentioned that the dough is not any regular dough. It's sourdough bread. That was a twist that I appreciated. We ate our slice of pie (pizza) so fast that we ordered a whole pie to go. Of course we had to have half pepperoni and half Brooklyn Bee (Salami & sausage). And while we waited, we chatted with Ed and Ron some more. Ron offered us a treat of his special baked, salt chocolate chip cookie. You know when you've had a great meal and then you just want to top it off with something sweet..the cookie did just that. It will make you do a "Perfecto!blowing kiss on your finger tips". We have not had a good pizza in a looong time. We would give it six stars if we could. If you want a great fill of pizza, a sweet treat and friendly service come check out Speak Cheezy. Thanks Ed and Ron for a great lunch experience. We will definitely come back. We will order for a party too! read more

The pizza store has been voted as the local favorite in 2021 by Slice, and it has also been named the Best Pizza in America by the Washington Post. The walls of the store are painted red as a tribute to San Francisco, where sourdough was first made. What we ordered: THE LBC (Mozarella, Pepperoni, Fennel Sausage, Ricotta, Sliced Garlic, Oregano, Parm) - Both pizza were presented with blistering crust from the pit. There were more fennel sausages than pepperoni slices, with ten dollops of ricotta. The crust was different from the usual Italian/ New York thin-crust pizza. It was definitely tangy and chewy. If there is an identity to a CA-style pizza, sourdough bread is the core of its fantastic creation. This pizza complemented well with the FRESNO CHILI OIL (extra). TRUFFLE SHUFFLE (Mozzarella, Parm, Shrooms, Truffle Crema, Lemon Zest, Cheek Parsley) - This white cream pizza hit the mark. It had a truffle aroma with a delicate taste of the mushrooms. This pizza complemented well with the DILLY RANCH DIP (extra). GREEN GOODNESS GEMS (Green Dressing, Lettuce, Citrus, Ninja Heart Radish)--The secret is in their dressing, which tastes somewhere between parsley and ranch. Overall, the pizza was good, but be prepared to splurge on the price. I wish they would bring the cost to an affordable level. read more

Speak Cheezy, you had me at sourdough crust pizza Honestly, my favorite, favorite favorite pizza in Long Beach. I love alllllllllll their pies. Haven't had a slice I didn't like. I wouldn't dine-in if you've got a big group. Their dining room is very minimal, but that didn't take away our experience. Our toddlers enjoyed waving at the cars out the window as they passed by. Service is great. There's a small parking lot in the back, we parked on the street in front. read more

The food took a very long time when I ordered in person and didn't live up to my expectations. I'd rather get my fix from Pizza x Two or Canadian Pizza. I've tried sourdough pizza before, but this place just is not good. read more

I'm not sure whether we purchased a pizza on an off-day as Ive never been here before so I have nothing to compare it to - BUT from this one experience, the pizza is mediocre at best. The sauce was both overly salty and sweet? (It was a strange combination, the urge to drink water while eating it was constant). The toppings had varied done-ness, some were burnt, others were undercooked. And it was so greasy, I ran through many many tissues. For the price, it is definitely not worth it, and most likely not worth a re-try. Risking a repeat of this, for that price? Absolutely not. Its one redeeming quality was the salad. Very well done, but not redeeming enough for me to purchase from here again. Although, the design and box was cute - so they've got aesthetics down. read more

So I've never been here but was recommended by a friend to buy pizza dough for my own pizza oven. Ordered 7 pizza dough balls online and was even provided with a confirmation of order and pick up time of 2pm on 12/24. (Yes I know it was Christmas Eve) I drove 40 minutes in pouring rain to get there only to find the location was closed with a very bad Health Department notice attached to the window. I also called their listed numbers and was greeted by an automated answering service that said the place was open. Nobody to contact, poor phone service, and they took my payment online even though they were closed. Fingers crossed that I get my full payment back. read more

I've wanted to go there for long time and finally I did. I loved pizza and the guy at cashier was very helpful to explain about their pizzas. We had Cheese pizza and TieDye. I loved TieDye better than cheese but cheese is also very tasty. TieDye has more different flavors so I feel I can eat many slices if I have a bigger stomach. Their merchandise is so cute and I wish they have a cap with different fabric. My husband said it was a bit pricy and I agree but I would pay for good pizzas like they make. read more

I saw a post about this place on Instagram. The sourdough crust is what drew me in. I'm a sucker for sourdough. It's a cute little pizza shop on the corner of the street. It has minimal seating, but still easy to find a seat as most people were ordering to-go. I opted for the ready made slices (square). One was buffalo chicken and I believe the other was margherita (they warm it up for you if you dine in). In the display, the slices didn't look that big, but when I was handed the slices in a box, they were huge! Both pizzas were really flavorful and packed with ingredients. I'd definitely make the trek from the IE to try their other pizzas. read more

One of the best pizzas ever--"The Tie Dye." The combination of their fantastic sourdough crust, their delicious vodka sauce, and pesto swirl along with all the other toppings come together to make a beautiful and memorable pizza. The colors and flavors are so vibrant. I wish I had a picture--oh, right, I do have a picture of the pizza and it's so pretty! Their garlic cheese bread is also a standout. It's a small unassuming spot but the flavors of their pizzas and their Hawaiian shaved ice around the corner are spot on. read more
