Little Coyote

Came here on a last minute late night dinner idea, ordered the pizza online. Ended up getting there before the pickup window, got a glass of wine while we waited. The ambiance is definitely charming and welcoming, sat in the patio area. When we ordered our wine, the waitress took note of our online order and brought it to us when it was ready, they let us enjoy our pizza at the patio as well! The pizza was awesome, not too much sauce or toppings, the crust was light and crispy! Definitely a fun hip crowed, adding to the ambiance, definitely not your mom and dad's pizza shop. Will definitely be coming back.

Finally got around to trying Little Coyote and it was well worth the hype! The white pizza was so delicious! The crust was not too thick or thin, the cheese was super flavorful, and the spinach was cooked perfectly. I definitely want to come back for a whole pizza next time. I might take it to go though because it does get super crowded! We ended up having to sit down on a bench down the street because all the tables were taken. So take out might be the way to go.

The pizza here is absolutely incredible – authentic New York-style with the perfect crust! The atmosphere is cozy, and the outdoor seating under the lights makes it even better. Definitely my new favorite spot in Long Beach!

Great and amazing pizzas. The dough that is made, is unique and next level. Started going to this place when they opened during the pandemic, and was hooked immediately. The pepperoni and the papa Joe pizzas are the best. Really miss this place since moving back to Spain. Not the cheapest pizza in the world, but worth every bite!

I can understand the hype! Best pizza I've had since moving to long beach. Perfect, crunch and chewiness to the dough. Ordered a white pizza, flavorful, and delicious. The cheese had just the right amount of salt and funk and spinach and ricotta rounded out the overall flavors. Can't wait to try their other pizzas.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Late-Night Pizza Spot in Long Beach! We stopped by Little Coyote Pizza in Long Beach later in the evening on a Sunday and had a great experience. Despite the later hour, we received prompt and friendly service, which was much appreciated. We ordered two pies—one pepperoni and one meat lovers—and both came out fairly quickly and were delicious. You can tell care goes into the food, and it really hit the spot. This place is truly a little hidden gem in Long Beach that’s definitely worth trying. We’ll absolutely be back again! 🍕✨

We used to come to Little Coyote regularly when we lived in the area three years ago, so when we came back last week for a quick visit, it was a must-stop for us. And it did not disappoint. Their white pie is so delicious—just thinking about it makes your mouth water. It does have a bit of a kick, so if you’re sensitive to spice like I am, I recommend asking for the peppers to be removed. We always add pepperoni, which takes it up another notch and makes it even better. Seating is limited, and the pizzas do take a while to make, so ordering ahead is definitely the way to go. We usually order in advance and then sit down to eat. So glad to see the quality is still just as good as we remembered. Worth the wait every time!

Since the first time we stopped here, we have been here three more times. Fantastic pizza. We started at the granny squares slices, my wife’s favorite, which are a little thicker with the bread. But their regular flat slices are the best, in my opinion. Toppings are delicious and fresh. We tried a Meat Lovers pizza, and it was loaded with pepperoni, sausage, and perfectly cooked bacon, and begging to be saturated with Parmesan cheese, which soaks right in. This pizza is even as good as, maybe better, the next day, cold. They also have antipasto and Caesar salads, large and small size, and while the Caesar is just croutons, lettuce, and dressing, all ingredients are made fresh and the dressing is incredible. Very tasty. I would also recommend the meatball sub, cheesy goodness stuffed with succulent meatballs. They offer beer, wine, and soda for drinks. Seating inside is limited but there are a few tables outside for al fresco dining. Tuesdays are BOGO half off on their whole pizzas, and Wednesdays offer happy hour prices on slices.

This place is incredible! Such a good tasting pizza. Really fresh ingredients and tomato sauce. A little disappointed that there is only one vegan option but it was really tasty. Just know that their dough is very thin and it does tend to get very wet with their sauce, so I would recommend eating at their location. Not sure if it’d hold very well without becoming extremely soggy. The ingredients also move around a lot so just know that it takes a little more effort to eat than your regular slice. Give them a try if you are around the area!

Really excellent pizza. Large slices perfect to share, good size for two. Food is ready quick and there’s an outdoor seating area to eat and or wait for your food. Parking is relatively easy. Worth the drive! They have tables set out front to safely take orders outside. Nice but pretty cramped outside dining area. Great new selection of merch, very cool color options and tees and sweatshirts, as well as mugs.

Such a nice pizza place! The food is delicious, the restaurant itself is a vibe w/ a great patio as well, friendly staff, & close to lots of fun shops. They sell by the slice weekdays from 1200-1400 & have a nice selection of drinks or water. A Long Beach gem—check it out if you can! Street parking is available, also.

Within the city limits of Long Beach, this is the best pizza, IMO. New York-style pizza that is absolutely delicious. Friendly service. They have a great selection of craft beers as well. I usually take my pie to go since parking in this area is a big challenge. The times that I've eaten there, it's been a positive experience.

The staff at little coyote on 4th are doing the lords work, super amazing people making BOMB pizza! This place is a pizza lovers dream :) and the salad is fantastic too.

The pizza is really good at the Little Coyote. We had the daily special... A Jalapeno Popper pizza. WOW!! What a great pizza. The service was really good. Everyone there is friendly especially one, Elizabeth. She literally went above and beyond for service. I would go back just for how she treated us. The only complaint would be their texting system. We were told our pizza would take about 30 minutes and we were supposed to get a text when our pizza was ready. We probably waited an extra 10-15 minutes. Our pizza was in a heat rack waiting. The texting is a gimmick to get your number for marketing. Great little spot. It won't disappoint.

Crispy thin crust with delicious toppings. The pepperoni pizza is my favorite — perfect balance of flavor and crunch. The staff is upbeat and fast. It’s a small place but cozy and stylish. Great pizza spot for a casual night out

Food is so fresh! Everything is housemade - ranch sauce and marinara were delicious, pizzas were great, Stromboli was phenomenal, and so was the sandozza. Will definitely be coming back. Wonderful service and good sitting area outside to soak up the sun.

It’s a good, quick, and CASUAL eat. Respectfully, I wouldn’t go out of my way for it. :) good price for a slice tho! nothing gourmet from the pepperoni I got.

We ate outside it was really good, our waitress Grace is an absolute asset to your business. Only thing I didn't like was there was a dog at the table next to us and his hair was on on our table it was 2 pieces but I didn't like that. Other then that great pizza

Delightful place to get a yummy thin slice or robust thick grama slice. The grandma square (cheese) was my favorite out of the 3 (pepperoni and white). The bread is fluffy/airy and lightly sauced and cheesed packed with flavor from ground peppers and more cheese. The white slice was delicious and the ricotta was creamy. The pepperoni was crisp on the edges not overly greasy or cheesy or saucy. Paired well with an adult beverage and eaten by the sea.

cool little pizza place with great and fast service. the whole pizza is 16 inch in diameter and are cut into 6 slices so it's foldable. it's thin crust pizza and it's not too oily. you can add toppings like sausage to the veggie supreme. overall, it's delicious, not the best i've had, but i would return when i'm in the area. expect to pay around $15-$25 per person

Excellent spot for quality pizza. Solid 4 stars. Great crust with that crunch on your first bite all the way to the last bites. Wonderful thin crust that is crispy and doughy balance. I took one star away for the sauce lacking flavor. Average sauce and could have a touch more garlic and pepper. Would have really made a drastic difference and elevated the slice to 5 stars. Excellent service and wonderful people. Quick turnaround on a single slice and a full pie.

The place smelled amazing as soon as we walked in. The pepperoni granny slice was burned but the other 2 pizzas we ordered were delicious. I recommend the white pie and the customer service was great. Plenty of areas to sit and cute shops all around.

Great little pizza spot. We had a full pizza that was half pepperoni and half cheese, a slice of white, the classic Italian sub and the antipasto salad. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get the pizza again, but if it were in my own neighborhood I would probably eat there all the time. The sandwich and salad were both huge. Great little patio space.

There wasn’t many people for a Friday night. We sat at a table and waited 15 minutes until someone came outside and we had to wave down the server. We waited another 20 minutes for the pizza to come out. Pizza was good, thin crust and plenty of toppings. Most of the toppings fell off when we put it on our plates. The wine was not the best. They come and drop off the pizza and don’t come back to check. They were friendly but slow. We still enjoyed the pizza.

One of our favorite pizza spots! Sadly the caesar salad + italian sandwich ingredient quality has gone down. The salad used to have perfect flat croutons, a perfectly cooked egg + fresh parm. Please bring it back! We’ll still order the pizza but will pass on the sammy and salad for future.

Great pizza, definitely worth the trip for me. You'll find this place on 4th in Long Beach among the second hand stores, bars, and skate shops. We have nearly always ordered a meat lovers or a pepperoni pie. The crust isn't soggy or super thick, it's just right and very nice. The sauce and cheese are proportioned just right. I would prefer the price be a bit lower, current pricing for a pie is preventing some return and new business from a prime source: college students from nearby CSULB.

UPDATE: I am saddened to say that I will no longer be going to little coyote, the price jumps are absolutely insane. Went from $24 for a white pie to $27 and $1 for ranch to $1.50. On top of that they are now charging a "service fee". Absolutely ridiculous! Also, they changed their POS system without telling their customers, so all the rewards points I had are gone. Such a shame : ( I even updated my original review recently too. Second Review: I have updated my review because Little Coyote has stepped it up. They have seemed to become more organized with their operations and the pizza is delicious! (just make sure it's not burnt). The white pie is my favorite and it's always so flavorful and pairs well with their ranch! Once in awhile, we get the Italiano which is always super tasty. The one thing I think they can improve on is sending the texts when the order is ready, they are not super consistent with that. Also, just overall quality control. There have been a few times where my pizza has been burnt. Other than that, I think they have definitely improved! Old review: "I came here the other weekend and man, it might of been my last time going. I got a text saying that my pizza was ready (an hour after I ordered) and I walked in to a long line. The girl ringing people up was new so I gave her the benefit of the doubt but everything just seemed so unorganized and she was flustered. There were a lot of people waiting and complaining about the wait time. I finally made my way up to the register and I asked for my order, she gave me the box from the heater and I looked to see if my dips were in the box, they were missing. So I asked for them, and I was given one sauce (my chili oil) & I had to ask again for my ranch. The employees seemed super scattered, looking for ranch. And then one of them tells the cashier, "just tell them we're out of ranch". That was wild to me, like how?! She told me they were out, without even offering to make it right. I had to ask for my refund for the ranch (yeah, it's a dollar, but it's the principle). This use to be my favorite pizza spot, now it's gone extremely downhill..long wait times, the new staff seems completely unorganized, and the pizza isn't the same. The crust has become extremely floppy, it's lost its crisp. This is so sad to write out cause I was hoping this wouldn't happen. However, with the new ownership, I'm not sure what went wrong. P.S. And don't fall for these extremely obvious fake reviews."

ordered the sicilian style and our squares arrived slightly cold. the cheese wasn’t fully melted unfortunately. will be back though to give it another try.

Visited Little Coyote Saturday and opted to sit outside as indoor dining is not yet available. Was not super stoked with the overall experience, but the pizza was super tasty. I got the slices, which is currently Sicilian style. The pepperonis were super flavorful, as was the sauce. The crust was a little oily for my taste. My main issue with the experience is that while they are offering outdoor seating, they are not maintaining it. The tables were dirty and there was no attempt to clean them off when they saw we sat down at a dirty table. I fully get staffing but when they're not taking orders the rep is just standing at the table and can see it. Also many of the other locations on the street have sanitizer at the tables for this exact issue but not LC. I'd love to visit post pandemic to rate again.

Tried this location since the other newer one on los coyotes was so good. The pizza was excellent but when I tasted the meatball sub, I was highly disappointed! The meatball sub at the other location was delicious, the best I’d ever had. This one was not even as good, the meatballs tasted like they had been frozen. They did not taste homemade or fresh like the meatball sub I ordered at the other little coyote. My recommendation: if you want a meatball sub go to the second location on los coyotes, 1000 times better. UPDATE: lowering one star since notified by my boyfriend: “Okay so you can add to your review of that place that in addition to being rude when I got my order that they kept my card and when I went to get it back they had a whole stack of other people's cards because apparently they don't give anyone's cards back.” When I asked him about the rudeness he said “The guy at the counter acted like I was wasting his time.” This happened on Sunday 2/25/24 around 5pm.

We ordered a veggie pizza and added pepperoni and sausage and we received a very un vegetable pizza and paid 32 dollars for it. It had olives on it. And barely any vegetables at all. Not impressed at all. Marris will be our place forever.

I’ve always loved Little Coyote in Long Beach. Their pizzas are consistently delicious, and the atmosphere is always great. However, my recent experience on 2/27/25 has left me incredibly disappointed and I’m honestly not sure if I’ll return anytime soon. I went in around 7 PM and there was a noticeable issue with service. The girl working at the register was so incompetent, it was almost painful to watch. She struggled with simple tasks like taking orders, processing payments, and answering basic questions. It was obvious to everyone around that she wasn’t equipped for the job, as a crowd of frustrated customers gathered around the register, all complaining about the delays and confusion. This experience completely soured my view of Little Coyote. I’ve been a loyal customer for a while and I even own 2 Corduroy hats, but I won’t be returning until I’m certain this issue is addressed. The girl working the register yesterday is dragging the entire business down, and as long as she’s employed there, I can’t recommend this place anymore. It’s such a shame because the food is really great, but service matters, and this was just unacceptable. Waiting over 50 minutes for one slice of pizza is just ridiculous. The worst part about that was that it was clear that the girl wasn't Even telling the kitchen to make the orders because she was so overwhelmed.

Pizza was good, but it took an hour to get it. We got the pizza at 8:50, then got yelled at by a very high staff member at 9:06 that the dining area wasn't a hangout spot. Probably won't be back again, since the experience ended on an uncomfortable note

The pink looking sauce wasn't the greatest, tasted like mayonnaise? Maybe a slice, definitely not 2. Should of just gotten their regular Pepperoni pizza instead of their Pineapple Express they suggested. Not to mention their minimal seating. Bright side they sell wines and spirits!

I understand that there is a local hype but there’s also a horrible issue going on with Long Beach restaurants and the ones that are more or less hipster restaurants every time I order I have a bad experience I ordered a single cheese square to go and while waiting outside They serve two tables that ordered after I did and after waiting 40 minutes for my pizza a “single slice” I received cold pizza . Understanding and working with food there should be no reason to wait almost an hour for a to go order when you order out front there just isn’t any excuses for that excessive wait . And for the pizza to not be fresh doesn’t make sense

I had a very burnt pie i honestly used to like it when it was the old owner, the taste now is completely different and leaves a bad taste in the mouth, they keep most of the products in the hallway with a very hot environment, the restrooms are disguising and mostly have flies scattered, the kitchen looks filthy with what looks like back mold on the walls, this honestly isn’t what people put it out to be and they really try to buy you and tell you, you’ll get a free pizza if you leave a good review, they are seriously struggling and its sad seeing a very well known spot go to down hill.

Warning: Unacceptable Treatment I need to put this out there as a warning to anyone considering this place and, frankly, to the owners themselves. Your business lives or dies by how you treat people. Our experience was genuinely shocking. We were still eating our pizzas .. pizzas we'd received maybe fifteen minutes earlier , when this particularly angry staff member started screaming at us, telling us to leave immediately. This wasn't just rude; it was condescending, intentionally mean-spirited, and just plain obnoxious. The person even bizarrely claimed they had to come in on their day off just to clean our table. That kind of behavior is indicative of someone that is not in the right place or frame of mind. I don't care how good the food is. If you treat customers like garbage, they won't come back. We put our money where we value both the food and the service, and in this case, the service completely ruined the experience. Buyer beware: we are absolutely not returning to this place. The way we were treated by that specific employee was horrible.

Little Coyote, what happened? Things have definitely gone downhill over the past few months. Shockingly rude service and the pizza crust was too soggy, not as good as it used to be. My family and I ordered at 8pm, to eat at the sidewalk tables. They were busy and behind, our pizzas came out after almost an hour, near their 9pm closing time. At 9:05 we were just finishing our last bites and a woman came out to tell us that they're closed and we have to go now. She was rude and wouldn't let it go, going on about having to come in on her day off and "this is not a hangout spot." You would think after having us wait so long they would give us a few minutes to eat 🙄 Next time I need my NY style pizza, I'll go to Milana's.

We used to get the White Pie here locally for 3 years for atleast $24. Now it’s ranging $28.40 with an added service fee($1.40), that’s a 20% increase. WELP. Goodbye Little Coyote.

To management: please update your online ordering services to close 15-20 minutes before your actual closing time. It's horrible customer service to cancel orders on ordering systems (I used DoorDash) because the kitchen is closing. I understand the reasoning but this is just not cool, it's something that can be easily fixed. It would be better for you, your employees and your customers if you just changed the closing time on all your online ordering systems. I'm a loyal customer and this was very upsetting. Again- not mad at the reasoning, it's just an oversight
