We've been here multiple times now, and despite it being a little pricey, it's absolutely worth it. We're obsessed with the halal carne asada pizza... easily the reason we keep coming back. The restaurant itself is clean, spacious, and has a really nice ambiance. We actually live much closer to the Maywood location, but we prefer this one because the neighborhood feels safer and the overall vibe is better. I believe both locations are fully halal. One thing to note: if you order the XL pizza, the crust is much thinner than the regular sizes. We didn't realize that when ordering online, so that's partly on us, but I do wish it was made a little more obvious during checkout. It seems like parking could be a bit tight if it's busy since there's a small dedicated lot, but we usually go later at night and haven't had any issues. We still haven't tried the wings or subs yet, but they're definitely on our list for next time. Overall, this place has become one of our go-to spots and we'll definitely keep coming back! read more

We were in the area for an event and wanted something quick. We were interested in the slices and decided on cheese, pepperoni, smoked brisket and carne asada slices. The smoked brisket was the star and would get 4 stars alone. Wish we had ordered another one of those because the other slices were okay. The others did not stand out but the ranch offered helped. No complaints as staff were very nice/friendly. Place was roomy and had no frills as it was straight to business. read more

I love this place. It's been one of my favorites since they first opened. We ordered a pizza the other day that was so disappointing. I was actually craving it and I ordered with the hesitation from my husband being so expensive for just a pizza. We picked it up and all the way home it smelled amazing! My granddaughter was coming over and she had never tried the pizza there before and I was telling her this is the "best pizza place", the "pizza is so good and my favorite" etc.. Then, we opened up the lid of the box and I was shocked at the tiny amount of meat on it, the look of it, and the lack of extra cheese that we paid for on top of the $37 price for the pizza. We ended up paying $42. Let's just say my husband was pretty upset. So was I because I was looking forward to the normal pizza we get from there and also to share with my granddaughter how good it was (supposed to be). She wasn't impressed. Worried this is going to be the norm now. I glanced through photos of other pizzas like what I ordered just to check and they were loaded with toppings. Just don't understand what happened with ours. The flavor was still as good as always but it was just the most pathetic looking pizza for $42 I've ever seen. I'm guessing my husband won't be wanting to go there ever again. I'm wary of getting the sandwich now as well. I would much rather be leaving a five-star review right now. read more

Great service Great amazing pizza extremely disappointed with the wings. :(. Sad. Such a long drive. However first time this has happened and I'm been going to Big Al's for a while now. It's still a great place. I Just need to not request them crispy. read more

Wait, I really wish I knew about this sooner because their food was so good!!! I loved the BBQ chicken pizza, lemon pepper wings, and sweet & spicy wings. It was soooo delicious that I actually ate the chicken properly (very rare lol). I also got to try their Biscoff and strawberry Oreo cheesecake, they were so lovely !!! I can't wait to come back here! read more

Stopped by Big Al's Pizzeria with my family and was so impressed with the quality of food and service. I will definitely add Big Al's to my standing rotation of spots to hit whether I'm craving pizza or wings! We tried pizzas, wings, and dessert to taste the full spread of what Big Al has to offer. Things I appreciated from the get-go: food is baked to order, with fresh ingredients, no use of seed oils, and halal-ready pizzas (which can be often hard to find with pizza). Pizza: We ordered a large and tried 1/2 Lebanese Chicken and 1/2 Hawaiian Brisket. Both sides were bursting with flavor, with a thick garlicky crust. Personally, I enjoyed the Hawaiian Brisket the best because I felt that the barbeque sauce, brisket, and pineapple combo just blew my socks off. It was probably the best Hawaiian pizza I've ever had! Wings: We tried 1 lb of lemon pepper and 1 lb of Jamaican jerk wings. I absolutely loved the lemon pepper! It was crisp and tender, without feeling too oily or greasy with the perfect amount of zest. The Jamaican jerk was also good, but not a personal favorite of mine as I felt that it was too spicy for my tastes, but my parents loved it! Dessert: We also opted for a homemade cheesecake made by Big Al's wife (@cinamoms on Instagram if you want to order just sweets). This was so delicious--creamy and buttery with a thick flaky crust that made it a meal to absolutely enjoy. Ambience: Decor is modern and clean, with plenty of seating throughout the restaurant that can accommodate large parties. Service: - Although in a busy area of Downtown Orange where parking can be limited, they have their own parking in the back - Service is quick, efficient, and friendly. I was able to meet Big Al, the owner, who is the SWEETEST! He kindly walked us through all his best recommendations given it was our first time here. Overall Impression: 10/10 experience and flavors. Will definitely come back again for more pizza, wings, and the ability to support a small family business! read more

Big Als Pizzeria is located in Old Towne Orange. Theres street parking nearby or small parking lots around , you just might have to walk a bit. I got a half carne asada half buffalo chicken ranch pizza with some lemon pepper wings. The carne asada pizza was very good! the salsa on top adds the perfect kick of spicyness and the buffalo ranch was really good as well! the wings are baked & they were juicy. I wish I wouldve got something spicier instead of lemon pepper but I was sharing with my brother. Definitely recommend this place tho! Lots of room inside w/ Tvs. read more

The place is clean and I appreciated the positive vibe and artwork. The staff was really friendly. I ordered a custom small pizza with pepperoni, mushroom, and black olives. Unfortunately, the pizza was a miss for me. The crust was tough and hard to chew. There was barely any pepperoni (initially I thought they forgot it then realized it was there, just really skimped) so it felt like I was eating a veggie pizza which was not what I wanted. It didn't have a lot of cheese either. It was pricey for the quality. Kudos to the staff for their positive attitude but improvements need to be done on the food. read more

Came in here with some family and left satisfied! We got pepperoni, cheese, BBQ chicken and cheeseburger pizza. The BBQ chicken was by far the BEST flavor they had. Everything was hot and fresh, and it reheated well the next day. Ambience is not the best and service is okay, we ordered ahead to make the wait time reasonable. read more

I finally got around to trying this extremely popular, halal pizza spot in Orange. First off, I have to say it's really pricey for a large pizza (that looks like a medium dominos pizza) lol HOWEVER, it's worth the price! The carne asada pizza was top notch. It had an amazing flavor profile. Crunchy crust, right amount of cheese and toppings Service was good and the ambiance wasn't too inviting so I would probably just go to-go orders. read more

My new favorite pizza spot!! Having all beef toppings or chicken on pizza is something I didn't know I needed. There's no extra saltiness or grease at all. Ordering online for in store pick up is very convenient, but the pizza was slightly cold upon pickup. No problem at all reheating in an air fryer at home. Spicy Hawaiian brisket was indeed spicy! You don't taste the spice while you're chewing, and then all of a sudden it hits you in the back of the throat. I loved that the Supreme had tiny veggies chopped instead of large slivers of bell peppers and onions. All the toppings were evenly distributed and they were quite generous with the meat! XL pizza can easily feed 3 people with extra leftovers. Now, that strawberry shortcake cheesecake is well worth the $12!! It tastes EXACTLY like those strawberry shortcake ice cream bars. The extra layer of strawberry in the middle is genius and adds so much strawberry flavor to the slice. To me, it tastes bests when thawed for ~30 minutes and has a slightly frozen center. Get the Jamaican and Red Dragon sauces on the side!! These were both flavor bombs and accompanied the pizza very well. Red dragon with the supreme and Jamaican on the spicy Hawaiian. read more

Some of the best pizza in Orange County, specifically their spicy Hawaiian brisket. The service was excellent and the slices came out in 10 minutes, very affordable at $5 a pop. I'd dine in next time bc the place is very inviting. read more

Came back here a second time to try different pizzas. We ordered online to take back home to eat. It only took 20 mins for pick up to be ready on a Saturday night. Hubby and I got a large half and half with BBQ Chicken and Lebanese Garlic Chicken. Pizza is beautiful again. BBQ Chicken was delicious. Definitely recommend this one. Lebanese Garlic Chicken was just okay. Maybe it's not my kind of flavor compared to the other ones I've had. Will continue to come back here. Good pizzas!!! read more

Got the carne asada pizza. It was so delicious!! The red salsa they drizzle on top was more on the spicy side but bearable for me. I wish it wasn't so expensive in my opinion because I would love to have kept going here but it won't be a regular for me. A 10" pizza is $20 and thats expensive in my opinion. Next size up is I believe $32 for a large. So if price doesn't matter then I definitely recommend this spot. A slice of pie is $12! So that just gives you a view of how expensive it is. Inside was clean and service was nice. read more

Came in to Big Al's off of a recommendation of a friend. We ordered the carne asada, buffalo, supreme, and bbq brisket pizzas. Since it was close to closing, we picked it up to go, but the inside of the restaurant was clean and well organized. We didn't have to wait too long for our food and staff was nice. The pizzas were all very fresh and although on the pricier side were plenty filling. read more

Wow! What a great spot! We got the Lebanese garlic chicken, and their lemon pepper wings. The pizza was excellent, extremely generous with the toppings, and the crust was fluffy and super crunchy. The flavors were incredibly balanced, and the addition of the diced turnips and pickles was an authentic and yummy touch Their wings were great, well-seasoned and juicy. Can't wait to come back, cannot recommend enough! read more

I tried this place because I saw they had a brisket Pizza. It did not disappoint. It was very savory and the crust had a nice crisp. The servers were nice and the pizza came out in a timely manner. If you're looking to grab and go, make sure to call it in. read more

I approached the register twice & zero attention was given. Why have a neon sign that says By The Slice but you don't sell by the slice ?

Definitely recommend ordering ahead online! I love how they are halal friendly so I can enjoy pizza with all of my friends. They have a great variety of toppings that my Muslim friends wouldn't be able to get at a typical pizza place. The brisket pizza was the favorite as it was packed with flavor. The lebanese chicken was also delicious, make sure to ask for extra ranch!! read more

Price can be kind of steep for the bigger pizzas but the halal meat is worth it. So many different flavors to choose from but I am a huge fan of the Meat Lovers. I've been coming here for years. The employees are nice and the food is definitely worth the wait, I highly recommend trying the brisket sandwich as well. read more

I would definitely come back here for the pizza. I liked that they let me split the pizza in half with two different kinds of pizza. The chicken wings were okay. I probably won't get it again. The staff were nice and welcoming. There's a lot of seating inside the restaurant. read more

Literally the best pizza and it's HALAL. The best pizza you'll ever have. It's premium pizza with the best flavor and best ingredients. You won't have better. Try it. You'll be back again and again. I have family who has Big Al's on their list every time they visit. Always a treat. Even though I've been here many times I haven't tried the cheesecake yet but I've heard it's really good as well. It's a chill pizza place with plenty of indoor seating in a nice area. Don't expect them to serve you. It's a pizza joint. You get your pizza and eat in paper plates. It's a pizza joint not a full service restaurant. Everything they make is epic. Best pizza and best wings. Try the wings!!! read more

Some people think they live in 1999. Always complaining about price. Don't you go out shopping in grocery market. Everything is double. If you can't afford make your own pizza . It's may be cheaper. read more

Food was amazing and we always love coming here. Spent over $500 and it was well worth it for the party we had.

Saturday, 8/24/2024 - Dinner Time :) Halal!! :) Ordered: A Large Half & Half Pizza Half Large Lebanese Garlic Chicken $16 Half Large Big Al's Supreme $16 Inside is pretty spacious. Clean. Nothing to Complain. Service was going great in the beginning until when our food came out pretty late :( Would have loved to give it a 5 stars it's just that we had 2 kids with us that were under 2 and they were driving us crazy and we were like how come the people are getting their pizzas before us when they came after us, when we asked them they said they ordered online, so she was like next time order online! But overall, pizza came out super Hot and Fresh and tasted so good and the Best; just like their Maywood Location. We loved the Big Al's Supreme way more than the Lebanese Pizza! It was too good!!! So, happy it's a lot closer to our home! Will be coming back again!!! read more

Was craving some jerk chicken and found this place served chicken wings with a Jamaican jerk sauce. This place was a complete miss for me and personally didn't enjoy the flavor. While I appreciate the creativity in the menu offerings, my first experience left me unimpressed. I ordered some wings with the Jamaican jerk sauce and a small Lebanese garlic chicken pizza. Starting with the wings, it didn't remind me of jerk chicken. It was costed in a thick green sauce which doesn't resemble classic jerk chicken. The sauce definitely had a kick and was spicy but the worst part for me was how overwhelmingly sweet it was. Jerk chicken is known for its deep smoky flavor and Jamaican spices. Nothing close to the jerk chicken I've had. The chicken itself was a good portion, but due to it being a wet sauce, the wings weren't crispy. I was excited to try the Lebanese garlic chicken pizza because I love my chicken rice with garlic sauce. I thought it was interesting to see it translated into pizza form. While I appreciate the effort and creativity, I wasn't sold. The pizza itself was very dry and found myself needing to dunk it in the ranch. Did not care for the pizza dough at all and it felt very frozen pizza-esque. The crust held its shape with all the toppings but there was no personality or special texture with the dough. I ordered ahead online and when I got there I stood at the counter for a bit before anyone acknowledged me. I then had to wait longer for the food to finish. The employees definitely seem young and are trying their best. I was hoping to enjoy the food, but my disappointment is preventing me from wanting to come back again. read more

First time here and ordered a pepperoni pizza. Great Customer service, a big shout out to Ava B. She has such a great energy and so helpful. The food is great. The pepperoni is a beef and tasted way better than regular pepperoni. The restaurant is clean and nice. read more

I was looking forward this pizza spot and was not impressed. I wish I could have been but I just was not. The pizza was just okay, the service was good. The place was really hot and the air conditioning was definitely not on. It was not comfortable. I may give it another try. read more

Absolutely LOVE their Lebanese garlic chicken pizza. Got half Lebanese garlic chicken and half smoked brisket with pineapple and both were amazing! The chicken and brisket were both seasoned well. I love pickles, so the combination with the savory chicken was phenomenal. For the smoked brisket, it's savory and slightly sweet in addition to the pineapple which creates the perfect balanced bite. And the pizza with ranch? Delicious. Service was also friendly! My friends and I were deciding which pizza to get because all the options looked good, and they were super helpful in our decision making. Definitely will be coming back for more! read more

This place is halal and has pizza and wings. The pizza is really good especially the Lebanese chicken pizza. If you get a large or X-Large you can do half and half on the pizza. The wings are good too especially lemon pepper, red dragon, and the sweet and spicy wings. Basically all of the wings are good. You order and they actually bring the food to you and it is fast. The ambiance is nice too you don't have to dress up or anything. There is a pink drink in the fridge that actually looks good but does not taste good. Otherwise everything else is amazing! read more

I'm going to be so deadass right now. I'm in Big Al's as I type. First and foremost, it's too expensive!! The only thing that stands out is the pizza crust. The pizza we had was the meat lovers. It wasn't bad but it wasn't breathtaking, as most reviews make it seem. The buffalo wings were lowkey buss. Now those were breath taking, literally. Service was good!! read more

Food was great tasting, but the service was bad. They have a unique variety of pizzas you can choose from. You can choose from whole pizza orders or also individual slices if a whole pizza is too much. I enjoyed the food, but the service deters me from wanting to come back. The cashier was rude and unfriendly. I felt unwelcome from the moment I stepped in and ordered. read more

Wow is the 1st thing that came to mind when I tasted the asada pizza. It's literally a carne asada taco but on pizza dough. We also ordered the mango habanero chicken wings and they were amazing. Heads up they are very spicy with a thick sauce but if you like heat then you will love them. The prices were more on the higher side but the difference between here and Pizza Hut is everything is freshly made and different. Worth every penny. Customer service was the best I've seen in a while. I met Mohammed and he talked to me about the food and was so helpful and friendly. Even if the food was just okay I would return just because he had AMAZING customer service. The restaurant was pretty spacious and plenty of space for at least 50+ people. The restaurant was very clean and had 2 restrooms. I live in the I.E. but will definitely be back. read more
