Me-n-Ed's Pizza Parlor

I remember Me-n-Ed's growing up, and I was really looking forward to going, the place, and atmosphere was great, and the customer service was on point, but got home, and it just didn't have that taste I remembered. It was good, just not great, but don't let my review tint you from going, differently give it a try?

There used to be a MeNEds in Santa Ana that was the place to go! So when we saw that there was still one in Lakewood we needed to make the drive over there. Atmosphere was just like I remembered it back in the 80s-90s which was nostalgic. Unfortunately there was no air and needed to sit by a fan to get some air. Service was good. Pizza’s do take awhile to come out but love that you can watch them prepare your pizza just like in the old days!

We had fun trying this place. As soon as we walked in, we could hear a man playing saloon music on the piano. We ordered garlic bread with cheese and a pepperoni and mushroom pizza. Dined in and it came out pretty fast. Nice toppings to cheese to crust ratio. I'd come back and bring friends. Also, this pizza was better than I had in NYC last week.

For those who remember the days of the big 3 pizza parlors, Me & Ed's, Straw Hat, and Shakeys, this spot is a throwback. It takes you back to a simple time when you'd go out with mom and dad, and they'd get a pitcher of beer and the kids got a pitcher of soda, along with pizza of course, while old movie serials played on the screen. The pizza here tastes like it did back in the day, which is delicious! The interior hasn't changed, and neither has the exterior! If you want to take a trip back in time, pack up the kids and check this place out! If you like a blast from the past, definitely check this spot out! The beer is cold, and the pizza and other offerings are delicious! Definitely worth a look!

We periodically travel from Rancho Cucamonga to Lakewood to get Me n Ed’s pizza. We used to enjoy this place on the weekly when we used to live up in the Central Valley. This is the only Me n Ed’s in the area. The way they make the pizza isn’t quite as good as the valley but the flavors are all there. Definitely worth a try if you’ve never had it, but beware, you’ll fall in love.

I don’t know if it’s the owner giving the orders or the workers who aren’t preparing it correctly but the pizza i ate had less sauce, less cheese and less toppings. Before new owner took over each slice you pulled was filled with cheese. I went yesterday 1/19/25 and I didn’t taste the sauce it was dried hardly any cheese! I hate that the Buffalo wings come out first s everything together. I’m so disappointed! When are they going to get it right! I’m a fan since i was 4 years old I’ve been eating Me & Eds by far the worst heartbreak

I have visited Me N Ed's in the Fresno area and was happy to see one on Lakewood. Let's start with the good. The personal (pan) pepperoni was delicious. The crust was delicious and toppings on point. The garlic bites, yummy as well. Fresh, hot, yum. We ordered a meatlovers and a veggie. The toppings were delicious, cheese nicely melted. The thin crusts on them tasted old, too hard. The dough was not fresh. Disappointing. Will give them another try but will order pan to see if it's tastier crust. Total for 3 pizzas and a drink, $63.61. Update. Went this weekend again and the thick crust is the way to go. Not burnt, crispy, and delicious. Thin crust, 2/3 stars, thick crust 4. Will repeat for the thick crust.

What a treat! A transplanted former Californian, miss this style of pizza! This place is an established gem having been there since the 1960’s. Friendly staff, great food. Will return when in the area
