Francesco's Pizzeria Long Beach

50 years I live in town have them all up and came here and felt like

It’s a good spot to sit and dine in. The flavor is 8/10 on most slices. Always had a good experience at ordering my food.I’m not sure why the slices are little on the expensive side. I guess because it’s Long Beach. But Costco is around the corner so I’m sure they can bring their food costs down. Maybe it’s kosher ? Other than that I’m always eating good here.

I have spent several periods of time in my life where I needed to sleep in train and subway stations, finding my meals in trashcans outside food carts and inhuman slop-factories like Sabarro's and Little Cesar, and I toughed it out and was deeply thankful for what little grub I could find. But I actually gasped out loud when I entered this backwater bait shop of a pizza joint. What a carnival of depression, filth and hopelessness! Those poor people who work there and have to keep a straight face while serving up gummy dough-flaps and chewy meatballs, having to stand and sweat in a business space which looks like someone gutted a laundromat and hooked up a steamtable in it--the whole scene simply broke my grizzled hobo heart. Even the vagrants who happily rummage around in the dumpster behind Yummy (Are You Ready to Contract Typhus) Yummy Restaurant will purposely avoid Francesco's dumpster; it just isn't worth the trouble it takes to raise your leg and climb inside.

1st off, the food is delicious. I can do a quick slice or order the dinners for the family and everyone is always happy. Staff was cool too. Owner took time to talk to my kids about how to make pizza. That alone, outside of great food, will keep me coming back. 5+

Great food, fast delivery. Best pasta dishes in the area and always good for a late night slice
