- David “DC” Bolling @ DC’s Take
- Excerpt: While the story itself isn’t the most plot-driven in his filmography, he still put us in the mind of what life was possibly perceived in a time where it felt free until you become fully invested in this world from start to finish. Only he was the right person to make this come to life when the inspiration came from Anderson 20 years ago.
- Gregory Carlson @ southpawfilmworks.net
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Anderson… has taken a big leap of faith resting his film on the shoulders of two unknowns and it’s paid off in spades.
- Karl Delossantos @ Smash Cut Reviews
- Excerpt: Licorice Pizza is an irresistably charming comedy romp through the 70s through the eyes of two charismatic young people looking for an outlet for their energy.
- James Jay Edwards @ The Big Smoke America
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Did Paul Thomas Anderson use a time machine to film LICORICE PIZZA? Because its evocation of the 1970s is that convincing.
- Blake Howard @ Dark Horizons
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: [Haim and Hoffman are] endearingly charismatic, resonantly melancholic, and driven by an authentic chemistry of one-upmanship and affection.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: This shaggy dog tale has all of the visual acuity of one who can make any camera choice interesting while never straying from the inherent sweetness of the oddball coupling.

- Paulo Portugal @ Insider.pt [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: Deliciosa comédia sobre os dilemas da adolescência num memorável regresso de P. T. Anderson a mitologia de San Fernando Valley.
- Josh Taylor @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: Despite its missteps, Licorice Pizza is a movie I can see myself returning to again and again to visit a place in time that was gone before I could experience it firsthand.
- Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: I couldn’t connect with the story and its characters in the way that Anderson would have liked, especially considering the problems I had with the ending and the narrative structure.
