The overview

Belmont Shore's pizza booth since 1954

Domenico's has fed Long Beach's Belmont Shore since 1954, one of the first restaurants in California to serve pizza and still a red-sauce neighborhood mainstay. Thin-crust pizzas, baked pastas, and garlic knots come to worn booths on Second Street, largely unchanged for seventy years.

Long Beach's oldest restaurant, Domenico's is the kind of place regulars have been ordering the same pizza at since childhood — a genuine Belmont Shore institution.
