Best Italian Restaurant in Long Beach · Long Beach, CA
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.
Each Centurion Award is a dated record tied to one year’s evaluation — earned annually, never carried over. Open a year for the full citation and verification details.
Awards run one calendar year and renew only if the business clears the bar again. Selection is by published criteria, never for sale.

This page is the standing record for Domenico's Italian Restaurant (2025). It was not bought, voted on, or sponsored — only winners are published, and an award that stops holding up is revoked, not quietly removed. For hours, bookings, and live reviews, go straight to the business itself.
If you’ve put in the years, you may already clear the bar. Evaluation is free, private, and never for sale.
