Ave 3 Pizza, Subs & Catering

Incredible homemade pizza that has quickly become our new family favorite! The flavors are fresh, perfectly cooked, and easily the best I’ve had in quite some time. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. I called ahead to arrange a pickup time, and everything went smoothly without any issues. The inside of the restaurant is tidy, well-kept, and inviting, making it a pleasant place to stop in. I’m already looking forward to our next pizza night here — it’s easy to see this will be our go-to spot from now on!

I love this pizza place so much. This place has been open so long I use to go here all the time when I would get out of school and that was more then 10 years ago. They have always been. Recently I did a delivery order of the godfather pizza over the phone, he was very helpful. They said they would be there in 45mins and he did. I did the order for my elementary school class I work at and it fed like serval adults I work with and many of the students, lots people had seconds and we still had a couples left in the box after. I highly recommend the godfather pizza for any party.

Everything we had here was delicious! We started with the wings and a meatball sandwich. The wings were nice and crispy, juicy, tender, and generously tossed in sauce. The sandwich was awesome! Meatballs were generously meaty - not a filler ball here - but still so carefully crafted that they're tender, juicy, and airy, not close-textured and dense. The bread was perfectly warm and had such a nice crunchy, crumbly, yet soft roll that gives so gently. The texture of the bread was perfect, and tasted good too. The house marinara was a good consistency for the sandwich and well seasoned. I think there were two types of decadently tasty melted cheese that added nice gooey stretchy texture. We had a half inferno, half chicken Alfredo pizza. The dough was really tasty, decently thin with a good texture and a kind of subtle sweetness that I enjoy. Very airy, plenty of air bubbles giving it a very light, pillowy texture, yet perfectly strong enough that it didn't just fall apart when picking up a slice. Toppings were generous, cheese and sauce good. The chicken was surprisingly tender, juicy, and tasty for chicken breast. The sear on the breast done before it's even on the pizza adds such a nice depth of flavor. The pizza was so good we ended up buying a meat lovers pizza to take home. Turns out this place has been under new ownership since November 2019. I don't know how the food was before, but they were very proud to have mentioned reworking a lot of the recipes, and I'd say they're doing a great job! Friendly service, would recommend.

Ok. I was feeling awful. I needed comfort food. I pulled up after reading some reviews and didn't look appealing from the outside, I almost didn't go in. I ordered a large special pizza. Would I have regretted not coming here? Hell yes! The guy delivered the pizza to my car window and tho the pizza was too hot to eat right away it was soooo worth the wait. Pizza was unbelievable. I can taste the toppings. The cheese. The crust. All coming together. 1 slice and I'm hooked. I write reviews on either the really good or the really bad. This was worth my 45min drive to and from.

It's a solid local pizza joint. A neighborhood gem. The food is good and reliable. Some items are even outstanding (pasta dishes). Fair price, good value and kind people.

Ave 3 pizzas are the best. More money than chains but better pizza. Got a meatza pizza. What a meal. Thanks everyone at Ave 3 great job. Took 1 point off for atmosphere. It is very clean but just old/off.

Small mom and pop pizza and subway restaurant in a small shopping center they have daily specials on subs pasta and pizza I had the individual pizza with salad and a drink, pizza sauce was really good right amount of toppings and delicious cheese with well baked crust and good price at 13 bucks there are tables for eat in and employees are nice, one start deduction for non available restrooms for customers 👎other than that I do recommend this place

Ordered the lunch specials. Everything was delicious! Dine in area was small but cozy. The only thing I didn't see was access to a bathroom for paying customers (just employees), so I couldn't freshen up and wash my hands. Next time, maybe I'll just order for take out. But overall, really delicious 😊

Avenue 3 has friendly customer service. The sauce and cheese definitely have flavor. More than a regular pizza. The crust is just a little too thick for me. Overall a decent pizza. Give them a try if you haven’t already.

I don't know what happened to this place. It used to be good. We ordered weekly during the pandemic. Now we can't eat the pizza. It's terrible. Something with the cheese. Like they're using a cheddar blend or something weird like that. 3 stars because fortunately their ranch dressing hasn't changed--I will stop occasionally and pick up a pint, it is tasty. The antipasta salad is also still good, lots of toppings.

Wow been going here for decades, what a disappointment since the last change of ownership very thin pizza an salty as hell..I do not recommend...

I really wanted to like this place, especially since it’s a local spot and has a nostalgic vibe, but unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I ordered a pizza and ended up paying over $35 for it. That alone felt steep for what I received. But what really took the cake was when I asked for a cup of ice—just ice—and was told it would be charged as a full drink. Seriously? That’s absolutely ridiculous. I wasn’t asking for soda, just a little ice in a cup. How does that justify a full beverage charge? Customer service is part of the experience, and policies like this leave a bad taste, no matter how the food turns out. For that price point, I expected better hospitality and basic courtesy. Won’t be returning anytime soon.

Place is old dirty abd run down. Pizza is subpar, crust was gooey. They put black olives in thier spaghetti, I've NEVER seen that and it was bland. To top ot off they dont sell pizza by the slice. They told me I could purchase an 8" for $10. What a joke. Overrated

This has been a Long Beach original pizza place I have been coming to for over 30 years and I know I have not been here in a long time but I got to say the pizza was the worse pizza I have ever had and it was like I went out and bought a frozen pizza and had them cook it and serve, I would say it reminded me of a Celeste pizza that are a $1.00 at the store but that would be saying the Celeste pizza sucks and that it had more flavor than this pizza I had. I ordered the supreme pizza and it has frozen crust and I want to say frozen ingredients because nothing tasted fresh.the back of the place the lights are off and kids were playing pool In the dark. Guess if you're drunk enough you might still enjoy the pizza but I doubt it. Sorry I will never return unless new management takes over or something.
