9 Reasons Why Late Night Pizza is a Culinary Adventure

Pizza Parlor LB has garnered attention in Long Beach for its unique approach to pizza, particularly with its naturally leavened sourdough crust, which has become a standout feature. The restaurant, co-owned by Joshua Knight and Mike Ortiz, is celebrated for its dedication to quality, from the meticulous five-day fermentation process of their dough to the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients in every dish.

The pizzeria has been featured in several local articles that highlight its innovative menu, including the "Bacon Jamming" pizza, which combines a house-made tomato sauce with mozzarella, crispy bacon bites, and a rich bacon jam—a creation inspired by Knight's other venture, COPA. This particular pie exemplifies the depth of flavor and attention to detail that Pizza Parlor LB brings to the table, making it a must-try in East Long Beach.

Pizza Parlor LB is not just about great pizza; it also pays homage to the local food scene with its collaborations, such as a special pizza featuring brisket and street corn from Huntington Park's Ray’s Texas BBQ. The restaurant's focus on quality and authenticity has made it a beloved spot for both locals and newcomers looking for gourmet pizza in the area.
