Milana's New York Pizzeria

I don’t say this lightly — this is the best pizza I’ve had in my entire life. And I’ve had pizza everywhere. If you’re anywhere near Long Beach, California, you need to make the drive to Milana’s New York Pizzeria. This isn’t just “good local pizza.” This is authentic New York-style pizza done at the highest level. The crust? Perfectly crisp on the outside, soft and foldable on the inside. That classic New York snap when you bite into it. The sauce? Balanced, rich, slightly sweet, and clearly made with quality tomatoes. The cheese? Melted to perfection with that pull that tells you everything you need to know. Every slice tastes like it was made with intention — not rushed, not generic, not commercial. Real flavor. Real quality. Real New York energy. And it’s not just the pizza — the atmosphere feels welcoming, authentic, and old-school in the best way. You can tell this place cares about what they’re putting out. I would absolutely drive across Southern California for this pizza. If you love real New York-style pizza and you’re tired of the chains and watered-down versions, stop what you’re doing and go here. Long Beach is lucky to have this place. 10/10. Five stars. Worth the drive

Great spot for a slice of pizza cooked In brick oven. The ones i had were flavorful with crispy undercarage. A must-have on your list for local pizza.

I tried the Honey Pepperoni Sicilian. The pizza is more of a high end pizza place so youre going to spend about 30 bucks. But the pizza is really tasty. Very crunchy crust and this one had a slight honey sweetness on the crust which was a perfect contrast to the saltiness of the pepperoni. Good amount of cheese and sauce. Would definitely go back.

Milanas is the best pizza in long beach hands down. Don’t let the location fool you. This spot should be a destination for every Long Beach local and visitor from out of town. If you’re looking for authentic my style pizza is the best you’re going to get within a 25mi radius

Amazing sauce made freshly at the restaurant. Great spot for quick bite in downtown Long Beach. For more contents, follow our instagram @gemislist

Updating because I got a $30 medium size pizza, they handed it to me burnt and did not care at all. I wanted to be polite so I just sat down to eat but then about 30-40 minutes before they close the same guy comes over to interrupt a cute moment and say mind if I take all of these chairs. Like idk that could’ve easily waited 10 minutes. Food is good, it’s over priced and you HAVE to check if it’s burnt. This wasn’t even the first time. Pretty damn good white slice, $7 for a small slice is a little wild tho and will give culture shock to anyone from the east coast despite all the subway themed decor, but that’s kinda typical for pizza and bagels in Long Beach 😅 Parking is street and metered but you can press “time” on meter for free 15 minutes if you’re running in for pick up Lots of shops walking distance in promenade are, mostly small non-chain shops, restaurants and bars which is nice if you’re visiting and want to experience something new.

Spent nearly $25.00(1 person) spaghetti and 2 meatballs, waited for about 25 minutes to get a very unimpressive lack luster meal... After waiting a while and when going back inside i was greeted as if I had not ordered and reminded that I placed my order as my food was forgotten about and again, thrown together by someone else.. To top that off I did request the spaghetti to include melted cheese and once I was able to open my food at home there was no cheese and the dish was very unimpressive. The meatballs were soft , grainy, and fell apart and the "marinara" is sad to say the least.. -Nothing to write home about... Their pizza and wings are great as I have had them plenty of times but if you cant do spaghetti, meatballs with marinera with quality then take it off the menu.. Disappointed...

I’m from Queens, New York! And we take our pizza very seriously. It’s a religion out there and one of our staple food. When I heard about Milana’s and heard the owner is from Brooklyn I had to come check it out. And man let me tell you, it’s one of the best pizzas not only in Long Beach but in LA and OC too. They used fresh ingredients daily and use ricotta cheese and it’s baked to perfection. Do yourself a favor and leave little Cesar’s, Pizza Hut and dominoes alone and come try a taste from New York in the LBC.
