Prosciutto Arugula
this is one of my favorites pizza but not the only thing that i love
Margherita
Many may learn the basics but rarely does anyone master them and Michael's Downtown has done it. The Margherita pizza is transcendent. It's my favorite pizza. Whenever I make pizza at home, it's the pizza I (unsuccessfully) try to emulate. Their Spaghetti Pomodoro and Meatballs should be in textbooks. They're the canonical perfect spaghetti and meatballs. If it's not some of the best Italian food you've ever had, I'll eat my hat. And after that, I'll eat the rest of your food too. I'll be back on Margherita Monday for my beloved pizza. I'd say "see you then" but you're gonna love it and my hat will be fine.
Signature Lasagna Bolognese
This is the best lasagna I ever had. So rich in flavor with the perfect portions. I can't eat another lasagna ever the same anymore.
Baked Ziti
Delicious 🔥🔥🔥🔥 highly recommend, the flavors intertwine so perfectly, the sauce. It's a must try
Pasta Boscaiola
I've eaten everything on the menu, and it's all amazing.
Margherita
Favorite classic Neopolitan style pizza in the US! Honestly... I've been to Naples and this pizza takes the cake. It's always on the foodie-to-do list when we visit Long Beach!
Margherita
We were in Italy few months ago, and the Margherita pizza from Michaels is as good as the ones we used to eat during our trip. The crust is on point, the cheese and sauce are great quality. We have been coming to Michaels every week since we moved to LB and we always make sure to order the Margherita pizza. PS: the truffle pizza is also a must to try flavor.
Caesar
I've tried almost every item and their menu and they never disappoint!!! Giuseppe is incredibly talented and always willing to accommodate our taste buds and the staff is always so friendly. This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants ever.
Italian Meat Lovers
The pizza was amazing! Very tasty italian style thin crust pizza. All the ingredients were high quality and they even added a margherita pizza to our order for free, which was also great. Happy that they're staying open during all the closures.
Italian Meat Lovers
Absolutely the best authentic Italian pizzeria in Long Beach. This meat lover's is head and shoulders above any other local joint's. Great atmosphere and hospitality when dining in, and fast service when ordering take-out. Can't recommend Michael's enough.
Baked Ziti
Everything I've had from Michael's has been amazing. This is no exception. Their service is amazing!
Pasta Pomodoro
Pasta Pomodora e la Pizza. Il cibo era buonissimo. Giuseppe e Alessandro sono veri gentiluomini.
Margherita
Love love love the Margherita pizza's at Michaels! My wife and I spent a week in Long Beach and we ate at Michaels three times!
Fried Calamari
We love this starter. Combines zucchini and calamari and is done perfectly. Not too greasy, not too bland. The right amount of different calamari pieces to vegetables. We love having this before our pizzas!
Spaghetti Pomodoro
We have an amazing experience every time we go. The food, the service, and the atmosphere, are over the top. Giuseppe is an amazing Chef. He always uses top quality fresh ingredients in all his fabulous dishes. Dan and I have so many favorite dishes we love, from the delicious meatball appetizer, to the mouth watering grain bowl, to the home-made spaghetti pomodoro, and the scrumptious Margherita pizza just to name a few. This place is a winner!
Sausage & Brussels Sprouts
