Thai Curry Pizza & Thai Cuisine

"At Thai Curry Pizza in Long Beach, you'll encounter pies that sound chaotic in theory, but taste extremely right in practice. Alongside takeout staples like papaya salad and pad see ew, this strip mall gem offers mashups that layer Southeast Asian flavors onto crispy leopard-spotted crusts. The tom yum pizza in particular is a masterpiece, topped with gooey mozzarella, mushrooms, tomatoes, cilantro, and just enough tom yum paste to create a spicy-sour pop. Dip any leftover crust into their panang curry sauce, which you can (and should) add on the side for $2. There are a couple of tables in the dining room, but most people take their orders home or to a nearby beachfront park, where they can lay horizontally and ponder what other promising food remixes should see the light of day." - brant cox, nikko duren, sylvio martins

"Italian + Thai = Dean’s Pizza It is indeed a simple equation, however Dean sure knows how to make his pizza. Thai Curry Pizza to be exact. Simply a masterpiece of a dish, the fusion pie is one of the city's most tasty offerings. It is quietly nestled in a small shopping center across the street from an Arco station so keep your eyes peeled when making your way over. They also deliver!" - Down the Street Designs

"This is perhaps the only place where Long Beach eaters can order both pad Thai and Thai curry pizza, making it a takeout favorite for the city (it’s also possible to dine-in, of course). In addition to classic tomato, sauce options include yellow curry or the lemongrass-lime tom yum pastes that are staples in Thai cuisine. Regulars know to order a side of curry sauce for the biggest flavor punch." - Judith Rontal
