Little Coyote

"Movie Pairing:Vampires Vs. The Bronx (Netflix) “Vampires Vs. The Bronx just came out a few weeks ago on Netflix, but it’s already one of my favorite new movies of the year. It follows a group of Bronx teenagers who are forced to unite their neighborhood as they fight a group of invading vampires (who also happen to be high-powered landlords). It’s whip-smart, hilarious, touching, and breathes completely new life into a very played out genre. And as you’re watching, be sure to order from Little Coyote in Long Beach. This New York-style pizzeria has fantastic pies (the white pizza is a standout) with massive slices you can fold in half, crispy thin crust that’s been buttered within an inch of its life, and classic toppings that range from pepperoni to sausage and mushrooms. That said, no order is complete without a meatball sub as well.” - Brant Cox Watch the trailer." - brant cox, kat hong, brett keating, james montgomery

"Opened by the co-owner of Hatchet Hall and the former executive chef at L&E Oyster, Little Coyote in Long Beach feels like a true throwback, the kind of casual pizza place that, as a kid, you begged your mom to stop at after picking up a video from Blockbuster. The pizza itself comes closest to New York-style, with massive slices you can fold in half, crispy thin crust that’s been buttered within an inch of its life, and classic toppings that range from pepperoni to sausage and mushrooms. That said, the white pizza - with spinach, ricotta, and mozzarella - is our favorite pie on the menu." - brant cox, brett keating

"Little Coyote in Long Beach feels like a true throwback, the kind of casual pizza place that suburban kids begged their moms to stop at after picking up a VHS from Blockbuster. The pizza itself comes closest to New York-style, with massive slices, crispy thin crus, and classic toppings that range from pepperoni to sausage and mushrooms. Of them all, the white pizza—with spinach, ricotta, and mozzarella—is our favorite on the menu." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins

"Little Coyote is our go-to pizza spot in Long Beach and one of the best pizzerias in LA. They've got two locations in Long Beach, but we prefer the one on the Eastside for its casual dining room and massive outdoor patio set-up. Their pies are an ode to the classic New York-style slice, but with a more flavorful crust and a variety of topping combos. Folding these thin-crust pies topped with spicy, house-made pepperoni here brings us back to post-game pizza parties with our childhood soccer team. But the pizza we'd gladly travel across town for is the light and airy white pie, topped with the perfect balance of spinach, ricotta, garlic, mozzarella, Calabrian chili, and creamy white sauce.

"When people asked us about our favorite pizza in Long Beach, our answer for many years was Little Coyote. Since then the pizzeria has changed hands to new owners, and while it still makes great pies, they don't necessarily reach the heights they used to. They've got two locations in Long Beach, but we prefer the one on the Eastside for its casual dining room and massive outdoor patio. Their pizza is an ode to New York style, crossed with the thin, cheesy slices you'd have after childhood soccer team parties. The basic pepperoni is a solid pick, but we're also fans of the not-too-heavy white pie, topped with spinach, garlic, Calabrian chiles, and dollops of ricotta." - Brant Cox
