Today is National Pizza Day, a time to indulge in the crispy, gooey national obsession. Whether it\u2019s your cheat day or the fifth time you’ve had a slice for dinner this week, you’ll find lots of pizza spots in Long Beach for any occasion. Here are five suggestions.<\/p>\n

The ambiance: The 4th Horsemen<\/b><\/p>\n

An ode to horror films and all things macabre, 4th Horseman<\/a> apocalyptic pizza is the newest haunt to creep the streets of downtown. Sit down in the dark space adorned with art including shrunken heads, vintage monster posters and old television sets blasting static. And while you won’t be able to actually sit<\/em> down to eat your pie, you can still soak in all the gory gorgeousness to and from your walk to the counter.<\/p>\n

All the pizzas have names to match the restaurant’s vibe, with \u201cDeath to Piggy\u201d\u2014classic meat lovers\u2014\u201cPastrami Dearest\u201d\u2014a Reuben sandwich in pizza form\u2014and \u201cMemento Mori\u201d\u2014a Korean fusion masterpiece with beef bulgogi and kimchi.<\/p>\n

We also can\u2019t forget the sprawling beer selection on tap, from quality local craft brewers to your standard Miller High Life, this place has the perfect beverage to pair with your pie.<\/p>\n

On a budget: Deli News Pizza<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s greasy, inexpensive and always good.<\/p>\n

For the past two decades, Deli News has been saving the pennies and stuffing the faces of broke students and on-a-budget families dining in East Long Beach. Located in the Los Altos Shopping center, just a four-minute car-ride from the Cal State Long Beach campus, its student clientele is arguably what keeps this hidden gem afloat.<\/p>\n

With massive portion sizes and prices so low you might wonder if the whole menu is a misprint, the restaurant boasts its ability to feed a family of four for under $25. The pizzas are baked in a standard range of sizes (small, medium, large and extra large) with the extra large able to serve four people\u2014or three depending on your PPI (Personal Pizza Intake). While they do charge for extra toppings, they don\u2019t skimp, and the mozzarella is always so gooey it can feel impossible to tear a slice away from its whole.<\/p>\n

Located at 5555 Stearns St. Suite #104 Long Beach, (562) 598-2123<\/span><\/a>
