L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele Belmont Shore

L'Antica Pizzeria Da Michele Belmont Shore - Review - Long Beach - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"If you’re looking for a place to eat a classic Neapolitan pizza and flirt, book a table at L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele in Belmont Shore. This upscale pizzeria from Naples has a huge, candlelit dining room that prominently features a fancy domed oven. But you’ll forget all about that when they bring out those chewy, bubbly-crusted pies, which are best with simple toppings like basil and roasted garlic. Dive in right away before they get too soggy, starting from the middle where the mix of San Marzano tomatoes, slightly gooey buffalo mozzarella, and wet dough somehow tastes like fresh pasta. The rest of the seafood and side plates on the menu are forgettable, so just focus on the pizza at L’Antica. And for some added romance, request a spot on their string-lit patio and sip wine by the fireplace." - Nikko Duren
