Dirty Pepperoni

“Dirty Pepperoni isn’t just another restaurant. It’s the product of a friendship, a few life lessons, and a shared love of craft—one made of steel, the other of dough”

Housed in the Historic Broadlind Building
Dirty Pepperoni brings new flavor to one of Long Beach’s most iconic landmarks — the Broadlind Building, a 1920s architectural gem that’s seen the city evolve for nearly a century. Once home to artists, dreamers, and locals alike, it now hosts bold pizza creations, calzones, and a lively bar vibe that celebrates the past while serving up something fresh.
