Pizza By Georgios — Restaurant in South Gate

This establishment is located in a non-descript strip mall near the 105 freeway. It's fairly easy to miss this place while driving by. My first visit was about 20 years ago, and I've been coming back every now and then when I'm craving a Italian-style sub. The bread is freshly baked, with a golden crispiness that combined with melting cheese, is hard to resist. My favorite sandwich is the mushroom steak, which includes a generous helping of beef and marinated mushrooms.

Georgios is owned by a friendly Korean couple, who always exchange pleasantries with customers. They definitely know how to run a business, and it shows by the number of longtime employees that have been with them for many years.

If you are passing the 105 near Paramount, I would highly recommend dropping by this place and...

I have been passing by this spot for the past 4 years and have always wanted to try it. I finally gave it a shot and am glad I did.

I got a small cheese steak sub with no tomatoes, it was delicious. I especially liked the bread, it had a great taste and nice soft crunch. I also got myself a small potato chip bag. The total came out to $9 and some change (pricing as of Nov 2023). The customer service was pretty good too, they were happy to answer my questions. I got my sandwich in like 3 minutes, very quick service.

There were a few groups eating in, and no line when I arrived although a few customers did arrive after I placed my order. This was on a Friday around noon, so not too busy.

I’ll definitely be coming back.

EDIT: May 2024 - I’ve updated the menu picture as prices...

I was looking for a genuine old skool pizza restaurant, after searching reviews and photos I settled on trying this place. I was extremely disappointed. The dough was cheap and looked mass produced, the mushrooms were canned, and the sauce tasted like ragu. I noticed from file photos that things were not the same.

I believe the original Georgios at this location sold, and it is now Pizza by Georgios. Most likely the original Georgios had multiple restaurants and the name had to change due to not being affiliated any longer.

The first mistake new management makes is they change things in the name of making profit. However with restaurants this can be tricky to do. The reason for a restaurants success is usually the taste and quality of the food.
