Rance's Chicago Pizza

I came here once with a party of 4 right when it opened so there was no wait. Our server was very kind and offered us some recommendations on portion sizes and what to order as it was our first time here. The feel of this place is very open as the front is open to the street. There's plenty of tables including bar tables and TVs mounted on the walls. This looks like a good place to be to watch a game and enjoy pizza and beer.We ended up ordering a stuffed deep dish pizza and a thin crust pizza, which were both decent. Although be warned, the stuffed deep dish can be heavy as most of it is cheese. It was a little too heavy for my friends' and my tastes and personally I wished there was more marinara on ours. But overall, I think this is a decent pizza place from what I've tried.As for parking, there's street parking and also some smaller lots are available in the area.

I hate writing negative reviews but this is about health and safety... I came here for lunch on Sunday and I was incredibly sick for 2 days following my meal. I'm pretty sure it was the pizza but it could've been anything... Both my friend and I were sick after. Please be cautious.On a positive note: the place was clean and open, nice on a sunny day, and the service was pretty good.

Our second time here - the service was great. The spinach salad was delicious, I would definitely order that again. We also shared the meatball appetizer which included 3 large meatballs and the best toast rounds we've ever had. They were perfectly toasted with a crispy exterior but soft and tender interior. I don't know how they do it, but I bet their bruschetta is great also due to that bread. The lost star was due to the excessive amount of cheese on our deep dish pizza. Yes, deep dish has a lot of cheese but this was way too much. It was overkill. I'm not sure if they thought we ordered extra cheese but it definitely was not like that last time. It was probably a fluke so we'll give it another try, but not any time soon.

Went to have a sit down diner with my husband. We parked on a side street (meter parking). Got seated right away. Order a small staffed Chicago pizza with pepperoni and bell peppers. Our waiter was very nice, she said it would take around 35-40 minutes and recommended an appetizer. We had the bruschetta and I had a pineapple cider. The pizza size was perfect for us, 2 slices each (I was truly full lol). The place was not very full, busy do from take out orders tho). The restaurant is nice, fun decorated. Recommend

Love the options and love a good deep dish! The vibe here was nice, gets packed relatively quickly. Good place to watch the game, do trivia etc. The dough wasn't my favorite, felt a little stale/ a little raw, but the toppings were good and extremely filling. Service is very kind but gets distracted easily it seems, took a few tries to get the check. Overall, prepare to sit and get comfy for a bit with the amount of time it takes for the pizza and stuff- but again, the game is going and the vibe is nice so it's not too bad

We came in on Halloween night place was moderately busy but we were able to sit down soon after a table was bussed for us. Ordered 2 wing plates sauce was great but unfortunately we got no flats because they were already ordered all during the day? So we had to have only drums.The pizza came next and it left so much to be desired the toppings slid off completely the dough wasn't very crispy either. We were hungry so we ate and waited longer for the deep dish. We actually had to send that one back it seemed almost undercooked not sure. The server/ manager was nice and took that off the bill service is good but the quality of pizza at that price point is not worth it!

The pie was surprisingly tasty. My partner and I decided on pizza and I wanted to try them out. We went on a Saturday night after a dodger game so the streets on 2nd was booming. We ordered the regular fries, I believe they are considered shoestring fries and those were perfect. We also ordered the Bourbon wings.... And I got to be honest, we didn't hate them but we didn't love them at all ‍ * The bourbon wasn't cooked down long enough so the taste was stronger than anything* I can't get jiggy with the maple syrup flavor * I did appreciate the bacon garnish! The pie:We ordered the the "Carnivore" *pepperoni *sausage*Canadian baconCrust: panSauce: smooth Marinara ( if you don't care for traditional chunky marinara, this is the best option )THE CHEESE PULL!!!!!! Delicious!!!!!Super tasty. Everything blended beautifully We will definitely come back for the pizza and perhaps try other menu items and drinks ... I love the vibe and there were plenty of TV's for the customers to watch. Yeah will definitely be back.

If you're looking for authentic Chicago style pizza, this place is the real deal. Located in the trendy and fun Belmont Shore area of Long Beach, this location has a breezy indoor/outdoor vibe that's complimented by large screen TVs which make it the perfect sports bar. The stuffed Chicago pizzas are legit and can take up to 45 minutes to prepare so allow time for your order. The thin crust pizzas are also very good and if you're looking for an appetizer to hold you while you wait for the main course, the meatballs are delicious. There's also a great selection or beers and other drinks. It's a wonderfully casual place that's great for a group meetup.If you leave with some stuffed pizza leftovers, you can reheat them in the oven the next day and they generally come out tasting amazing.

Was craving deep dish pizza, but have always had issues with finding a place that will accommodate a tomato allergy. I called Rances to see if they could do their deep dish with their pesto sauce and they said yes of course. We ordered over the phone since it takes about 30 minutes to do a deep dish. When we arrived, we sat down outside With our pizza salad and the wings. We got the 9 inch which was perfect for two people. It was delicious. The crust was buttery and flaky...everything I had been craving. We also had the wings which were amazing. Highly recommend you get these. The wingswere meaty and the sauce was perfection. Sitting on the patio, enjoying our pizza while people watching, made it a wonderful night. There are also TVsso we could catch glimpses of the baseball game. Again, the Service was amazing and the accommodation to our tomato allergy was something I will never forget. Will definitely be back .

My manager RAVES about this place, had to give it a try. It was super busy, we did take out @ the bar. This was definitely a pretty darn good pizza! I enjoyed that it very much. I got a stuffed deep dish planned pizza with pepperonis, olives, and banana peppers. The flavors played off of one another so well. It was delicious. Great presentation, the pizza was beautiful. It was heavy, and it kinda fell apart after cutting. I legit ate it with a fork and nice. But I definitely recommend. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT I WAITED 45MINS, but the staff was super cool and gave me a heads up beforehand.
