The fried ravioli, caesar salad, and french dip was good. The atmosphere was very nice. The service was excellent. The restaurant patreon were interesting and entertaining. Parking is so-so considering it's Hermosa Beach.

Good pizza and dog friendly. Deep dish was not Chicago level tho was a little to crunchy for me.

Freaking love the pizza here and the service is one of a kind. They have an awesome menu selection and the service staff are super friendly

Best Chicago pizza and Italian beef place in the South Bay! Originally from Chicago but have been in LA area now since 1998. Since that time, it’s been impossible to find anything similar to Giordanos, Beggars, Rosatis or Lou Malnatis. I even visited Joe Mategna’s Taste of Chicago up in Burbank awhile back which didn’t quite cut it.My go to has been Fresh Brothers but they changed their recipe a few years ago and it’s not that good anymore. Union Pizza was another that had a decent deep dish. But I finally got around to trying Red & Louie’s last week and can definitively say it’s the best Chicago experience you’ll find out here.I’ve tried the following so will try to comment on each: sausage thin crust, pepperoni thin crust, cheese garlic bread and Italian beef.- The sausage and pepperoni thin crust tastes almost exactly like Giordanos. Red & Louie’s has a stone fire over so you know how important that is to a crispy crust like most Chicago pizza. Thin crust pizza is excellent.- The cheese garlic bread tastes a bit like Lou Malnati’s cheese bread but better. Marinara sauce is great and a perfect blend.- The Italian Beef was also excellent and comparable to Portillo’s. While there is a Portillo’s in Anaheim, that’s not somewhere you’re going to drive to unless you’re already in the area. Red & Louie’s also offers marinara on the side for the beef like Pop’s and like some Portillo’s still do.I haven’t tried the deep dish yet but can already say this is one of the best restaurants and pizzas in the South Bay. It’s also a good, chill place to watch some sports on the multiple flat screens inside. Highly recommended from a Chicago ex-pat!!

I am a hermosa beach native and have to say, red and Louie’s is the best pizza place in hermosa beach hands down. Amazing pizza and super friendly staff that make you feel right at home. They also have an awesome selection of beer that you can’t find anywhere else in hermosa.

pizza should get 1 star at best. The sauce felt like ketchup or some cheap option. I have ordered a number of toppings, perhaps as the sign of the times, they put few pieces to be able to get away with it.Reading some reviewers here, Im wondering if they are friends of the owners or just never eaten good pizzas...mmmThis is no repeat establishment.

Pizza was very delicious. Service is pleasant and accommodating.

We just had carry out here and the pizza was awesome. Crispy crust and really fresh tasting sauce. Perfect! And the wings are the best I have had in Southbay. Super crispy and juicy meat. Can’t wait to go back and eat there.

Friendly staff. Our waitress was super polite and friendly. She suggested favorites from the menu and introduced my wife to a new beer, Pinkus. I suggest getting the cheesy garlic bread. It's sooo good. My wife would suggest the Pinkus beer. They also have a Ms. Pac Man / Galaga table game that you can play for free. We went on a Thursday night, spontaneously, and it wasn't crowded at all.

Pizza was very tasty, but the service was a tad lacking...It was totally fine as it was a simple night out and we were hungry, but the wait staff barely came over.Would probably eat their again though
