I've been ordering from here for the last 4 years and am just now reviewing it, given we had it last night during the Laker win and my tastebuds are craving the leftovers.  

We have never been to the establishment, we always get it delivered.  They are fairly quick and have never gotten my order wrong.  Their pizza really is good, the way they leave the pizza in the oven to slightly brown the cheese and how they don't just throw but rather strategically place the toppings, it's great!  Their wings are excellent, not over-sauced.  You can also order spaghetti, sandwiches, etc. It's convenient, inexpensive and super tasty.

The only con: Their antipasto can be much better, I was sadly dissapointed, I ate a bit then moved on to the good stuff.

Been coming here for years...Ever since it got delivered to a friends house  I was hooked like polar bears on ice!

My motto for this place is "This is what pizza should taste like!!!"

I've challenged many friends to find a better tasting pizza which has lead me to go to new pizza parlors that didn't exactly make it to my taste like cousinamos has.

Also, pretty flexible drivers if not busy they can meet you on the edge of south gate at garfield and firstone or tweedy and atlantic.

Try the garlic cheese bread yummmm!

Went on a bike ride to this place last week. The pizza was above average. Nothing extraordinary but better than just about any corporate pizza chains.
The beer was $2.50 a bottle. I bought a round. The mojo potatoes were delicious and there was three drunk dudes talking trash to each other so the entertainment is free and pretty awesome.
I'd go back AND I'd buy another round of beer.

I went there a few months ago to taste the pizza of my childhood.  Sure enough, this was a great pizza.  The crust was crunchy enough but soft enough, the cheese and toppings had a great flavor.  The sauce had flavor but did not overpower the pizza.

I most likely would have never eaten at this hole in the wall except that it's located within walking distance of a friend's workplace.  I've been here twice and have ordered their Meatball Sub both times.  I love, love, love this sandwich.  I'm not sure if it's bc they toast the sub so it's nice, crunchy, and warm or if it's bc of the melting mozarella cheese that oozes off the bread.  It's about a six-incher, and I wish it came in a foot long bc I could probably finish one off easily.  My friend loves their pizza, although I had it, and it seemed like regular ole pizza to me.  However, after she had a bite of my sub, she ordered the same the next time we came back.  That's right!

Me and my boyfriend pass by this place all the time...and we finally decided to give it a try. It's a small little place and it looks like it's been there for years. The pizza was great! Definitely a better alternative to the usual take out pizza places :-) and the prices were very reasonable! 2 x-tra large pizzas for 20.99, you can't go wrong :-) It was yummy pizza, not the greatest i've ever had, but it's a good spot and I'll be going here from now on whenever we get a pizza craving and I refuse to order pizza hut/dominoe's/papa johns! I hate those chain pizza places yuck!

it's sad to say to give this place 3 stars.
i grew up in south gate since the 80's & knew the actual original owner john cousimano himself (rip). but since then the place has changed hands at least 4 to 5 times.
every time owners change the pizza tends to either become a little better or just o.k. ah what the hell i still frequent the place either way. i think some of the pricing is o.k. for some of th food. but other's like the lasanga (unsure of espelling). i'm sory but it's not worth ythe dollar amount imposed on the patrons. i say it should be either discounted or at least price dropped. the sauce is mildy less than average for that particular dish. the pizza on the other hand is still o.k.
whoever is making the pizza there now, kudos to them.
it's cheesier & can be tasty when done right.
