Location is borderline sketch, parking can be a hassle and the dining area basically non-existent but they make a damn good pizza. Another gem in Long Beach.
It is best you call ahead and pickup or have them deliver as their dining area consists primarily of one table "inside" and a few seats outside. For some reason, their retro rubbermaid trash bin resonated a positive vibe within me. Very park like. The essence of the place was reminiscent of a pizza parlor that the kids from the film "Kids" would eat at..minus the a.i.d.s but pack your purel just in case. No restrooms here.
As for the pizza itself, I couldn't find a single fault other than the fact I should have ordered 2 mediums rather than 2 smalls. We got the mexican and supreme specials. The crunchy chorizo (part of the mexican special) + corn meal crust (standard on all pies) complemented each other nicely. Extra hot 10-piece buffalo wings were good but not great. Wings were sitting in a cesspool of buffalo sauce and spice. A little excessive in my opinion.
Throughout the duration of our meal, a handful of people were walking in and out, ordering whole pizzas or individual slices. A bustling joint, to me, is always a tell-tale sign of a quality place.
