1st and foremost, the service is the friendliest! This family owned establishment is a hidden gem and I'm so glad my family introduced me to this spot The food tasted so amazing- we got a slice of cheese pizza, slice of pepperoni ($3 each) , 2 grandma style sausage pizza slices ($5 each), and garlic toast ($3.50). Everything was Flavorful in every bite, the grandma style sausage pizza had the perfect crunch and softness in the middle. You can literally taste the home made freshness of everything ordered. The pizza by the slice is always a nice bonus when crunched with time, too. Not to mention everything was reasonably priced and affordable with more than enough portion per slice - my kids ate the individual slices so quick so I was unable to snag a photo of how huge the slices were , but they were so nice when I had to ask to cut the slice in half for my four year old They ran out of cheese pizza for the individual slices and the wait for newly fresh pizza was not long at all. You order at a window and can take your food to an outside seating area - I saw they even had lunch combos for a slice of pizza with a drink I found it even more awesome that they have sugar free options for their canned drinks because not many establishments offer that Ambiance was perfect for a Sunday afternoon, sun shining, fresh air, blue skies, nice wind, and the tables and chairs were clean I came with my in laws and we were a party of 12 and we had enough space for all of us using only two tables since the seats were able to sit 2 small kids together Overall would definitely come back and highly recommend this spot read more

First time hitting up Valentino's Pizza off PCH in Long Beach, and oh man--what a win! This spot is straight-up Detroit-style magic, and now I get why locals treat it like royalty. The backstory alone is gold: two lifelong buddies (friends since fourth grade!) from Michigan brought their love of real Detroit pizza to SoCal, and it shows. They've built a mini empire with multiple locations, but this one feels nostalgic because you can just walk up and order at the window so it' gives that old school vibe that you don't get often these days. I've chased Detroit-style across the map (shoutout to Jets in Michigan as my personal gold standard), and Valentino's holds its own like a champ. I played it safe and ordered the 4-Corner (because pizza is my kryptonite--I could demolish double this in one sitting and still eye the menu). That crispy, caramelized cheese edge? Iconic. The thick, airy crust with perfect chew? Bulls Eye. Pepperoni cups curling up with that spicy snap, cheese pull for days, and sauce that's tangy-sweet in all the right ways. It's got every signature Detroit element nailed. Pro tip I learned not too long ago: ranch dip is basically mandatory for Detroit pizza. I tried it both ways--naked and dunked--and both are elite. The ranch adds this creamy cool-down that makes the whole thing even more addictive. Who knew? Look, New York and Neapolitan get all the hype (and they deserve it), but Detroit-style is the underrated sleeper hit that deserves way more love. Thick, hearty, crispy-edged perfection in a square package. Valentino's is proof it's not just a Midwest thing--it's a must-try anywhere. If you're in Long Beach and haven't swung by yet, get your move on. Grab a 4-Corner (or go wild with a full pie), dip in ranch, and thank me later. This one's staying on my rotation. Detroit pizza fans, rejoice--Valentino's is carrying the torch! read more

Valentino's Pizza PCH - Small 4 Corner Detroit Style - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Local pizza parlor in the newly renovated strip mall corner of PCH and Ximeno between the Sprouts market and the Marina Circle carwash. It is just a walk up window. There is parking out front as well as outdoor seating in a communal space shared by other small restaurants. I was going to get some baguettes at Lee's sandwiches next door. It was a cold day and the sight and thought of a warm cheesy pizza sounded really good. I walked up to the window. I was greeted promptly by friendly staff members. The menu was right there and easy to read. They offer multiple pie sizes from small to extra large. I ordered a 16 " cheese and mushroom pizza. It was about $23 after tax plus tip. It was ready in 15 min. While waiting, I did my grocery shopping next door and picked up some hot baguettes at Lee's sandwiches and when i returned, my pizza was ready. I took it home. The dough was a somewhat thin crust, there was plenty of cheese and the mushrooms gave it a smoky flavor. It was still warm and tasty. Overall i had a good experience. I recommend trying Valentino's Pizza for your next meal or for a cozy brunch at home on a cold day. But really anytime! :) read more

Super delicious pizza! We're extremely picky with pizza bc there's too many places that claim to have the best pizza. The sauce at Valentino's is homemade and just flat out good. The service is always good and it's family owned. It's the spot for all us locals if you just want a slice out the window. read more

Worth the wait! The service is great, the pizza is made fresh to order and the pizza is good. I ordered the 4 corner Detroit Style and the nice woman at the window knew it was my first time, she made me feel welcomed and included free breadsticks. This place reminds me of the good ole days of personable customer service and good food even at a walk up food stall. Glad I came and will be coming back, Thank you! read more

Saved my life! My kids were starving and before I got on the highway I had to look for a quick place that had slices for sale. Delicious and affordable. You'll never know what it meant to me to find you all. I hope you get more business this week! Support local businesses! read more

Valentino's didn't like how DoorDash did my order, and they allowed us to pick up our calzone after work due to all the trouble in drivers being cancelled and order delayed. All in all, my order was cancelled with Door Dash. It wasn't Valentino's fault and they stepped up to the plate to assist with our dinner by allowing us to come thru in a few hours to secure the package! Much appreciative of the friendly staff at this location. Great customer service goes a long way! Thanks team. read more

I was craving pizza slices and found Valentino's on Yelp. We ordered four slices of pepperoni pizza and a five-piece buffalo wings. The pizza was okay just a bit salty and soggy for my taste but the convenience of the to-go window and plenty of parking made it super easy. Customer service was great, which I really appreciated! I'd love to come back and try more items on their menu. read more

A bit scary upon arrival because of construction, BUT the place is open during construction. Approached the window, there was a lady I greeted her, she looked at me, didn't speak, walked away & answered the phone. I almost walked off at that point BUT I really wanted some Chicago styles pizza. I ordered 4 Corner Chicago Style Pepperoni Pizza, half olives. That was it. It was a 20 minute wait time. When I went to pick up the order she was much more pleasant. The pizza looked delicious, it was tasty. Pepperonis had a spicy kick! Bread had a nice little crunch to it. Thinking now I should of gotten 8 corners instead. I do recommend. read more

The Detroit style is what you want from here. I order it with a sausage topping. The sauce and the sausage were quite good. As for their plain cheese slice, really bad! The texture of the dough is too soft with a very sweet sauce. This is some of the worst cheese pizza this born and raised New Yorker has had in CA. Stick to the Detroit style! If you really want stellar Detroit pizza...SLICE HOUSE blows away most of the Detroit style I've had in CA. They also have squares already made, so you don't have to wait 15 to 20 mins for it to be made, like you do here at Valentino's. read more

This pizza place is like a hole-in-the-wall, and it's very easy to miss. You order through a window/door, and the food always comes out hot! I got the BBQ Chicken Pizza and the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. The BBQ Chicken Pizza was saucy and delicious. It had BBQ sauce, cheese, red onions, and chicken. There's a perfect amount of crust so it doesn't feel like it's too doughy. The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo came with Garlic Toast which surprised me! The Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo has big pieces of chicken, and it was pretty good. I wish it had a bit more sauce, but it's okay! The Garlic Toast was great! The garlic butter is delicious, it absorbs well into the bread. There's not too much garlic butter so the bread isn't overwhelming. The employees are so nice and helpful! It feels like this is a small family-owned business which is always good to support! There is no indoor seating since you order through a window/door, but there's about 2-3 tables outside where you can sit and eat. The tables and chairs were clean. I would come here again because I want to try their Spaghetti and Meatballs and Raviolis! Their employees are nice, and the food I got was great! read more

A hairstylist next door told me about it, and I was expecting to go in to a restaurant style place, but this is a walk up spot. I was glad to see that I could get pizza by the slice so I could get this opportunity to review the pizza. It's perfectly saucy and New York Style with plenty of pepperoni. It was a little greasy but what delicious pizza isn't from all the pepperoni?! The crust was crunchy and the deal for two slices and a soda was great. I'm happy with the results and can't wait to try their bread items and maybe their meatballs. read more

They have pretty big slices and the dough taste good. I would recommend this establishment

Good Italian food; reasonable prices; nice people and good service. Love the garlic bread too!

GREAT ZA! I ordered the Garlic Bread Stix, Detroit Style 4 Corner, and Hot Wings. Everything was very tasty. My friends and family really enjoyed the food and plan to go eat in person next time! read more

Never knew this pace was here, but I am so happy to have stumbled upon it!! The pizza was great and the staff were so friendly. My nephew really enjoyed the cheese bread, compliments of the kind lady behind the counterIt's a a carry out spot but in front of the restaurant are a few picnic tables. We're excited to try other things on their menu. Oh, and ask for the daily specials!!! read more

THIS PIZZA RULES. This place is something special. We order the Detroit deep dish for delivery. They never disappoint. Everyone we introduce to this place is completely blown away. You can't go wrong with the meat lovers or supreme. But I highly recommend trying the chicken parm or the veggie. These are real sleepers and will not disappoint. read more

Good value they have a lot of pizza deals online. And let you customize! The pizza was tasty my only complaint would be the dough it wasn't soft it was a little dense, hard to describe but for the price I think it's worth it. Definitely give this small business a try! read more

Some of my favorite east coast deep dish pizza! As a native of Long Beach this is one of the best pizza joints in the city.

Had the lasagna! Delicious. Got the meat but they also have cheese lasagna. I'll try that next time. Now they have nice tables outside if you wish to eat there. Service is always great there. read more

Seriously underrated & locally loved Italian spot. It's my go to for a quick, delicious slice of pepperoni pizza - slightly crisp and perfectly chewy crust and plain delicious. Their spaghetti and meatballs is a generous serving, easily 2-3 meals. Simple and tasty tomato sauce with 2 meatballs and a plate of fresh garlic bread. Good prices and delivers on straightforward and yummy italian food. Family-run and the son AJ that's taking over is great. I'd pick them over some of the other newer fancy schmancy pizza spots any day. read more

First time trying here, despite living extremely close by... was looking for a new by-the-slice place since they closed my high school favorite, Kings Pizza. Hubs and I both got a slice of plain cheese and I got the garden salad and he the antipasto. Suffice it to say that this is our new go to. Happy to be supporting hometown locals! read more

Just spend 30 bucks, for something I would pay 10 max. Very poor quality and quantity of ingredients, just very so so pizza.

Amazing little pizza place! Very high quality' food, and good lunch specials! Totally under the radar but more people need to come try it!! The gentleman that helped me was very kind with great customer service!! We tried the bbq chicken and it was amazing! read more

Valentino's Pizza PCH - Pizza Near Me - Long Beach, California

Okay Valentino's! I see you've still got it :) I used to love this pizzeria when I was in high school. My family ate it frequently because it was nearby and nobody liked to cook lol. Anywho! Stopped by this location to pick up picnic pies & I was pleased. I'm a pineapple pizza lover soo I love big chunky pieces of pineapple & they layered on plenty. I ordered basil on it as well, and I will say, I prefer the whole leaves of basil over shredded pieces but it didn't detract much. My friend ordered bacon and pepperoni on hers. I don't eat much meat but it still looked appetizing. They still have that yum factor & I got great service from the guy at the window. Keep doing what you're doing, Valentino's! read more

I ordered the Hawaiian pizza from here, and it was good. Everyone reading my review, please don't hate me for ordering Hawaiian pizza, I like pineapple on my pizza lol. The service was really quick, I ordered the pizza and it took 10 minutes for the pizza to be finished. The person in the front was very nice, and they were quick to finish my order. The pizza itself was good pizza, and I will definitely be going back because of the quality and service. Keep in mind, that there is no public restroom, and there is no indoor seating, all the seating is outdoor at this time. I'll definitely be trying the white pizza, and the barbecue pizza. The next time I come. read more

This is my family friends friends family. pizza and Italian food delicious hot sandwiches.

Came out to Long Beach to escape the desert heat and was craving pizza. Drove around and came across Valentino's pizza on E. Pacific Coast Highway. Ordered a medium pizza and the owner was nice enough to throw in breadsticks since it was our first time here. The pizza and the breadsticks were amazing and we will definitely be back when we're in the area again. read more

Keeping it new and classic great pizza! The white is always a special breed and if you can nail it, you will win over the heart and belly!

Good food, great service. definitely will order again from Valentino's. it's convenient

Drove out of my way for a slice of pizza. Nope, nothing for sale. Will never come back
