    It's rated one of the best pizza spots in LA for a reason! I honestly wasn't even a huge pizza person until I tried their Bacon Jalapeño Burger Pizza--it is an absolute MUST order. The combination of flavors is unreal. Their wings are hands down some of the best I've ever had. They're huge, incredibly juicy, and I genuinely think they're baked because they have the perfect texture without feeling greasy. And don't skip the smoked brisket sandwich! It's so tender, flavorful, and ridiculously juicy. Everything we've tried here has been amazing, and it's one of those places that keeps you coming back to try more. Definitely worth the hype!

    You're gonna get big flavors and even bigger pizzas from Big Al's! I tried the garlic chicken split with the spicy Hawaiian brisket extra large pizza that easily fed four people. Also got 1 pound of the sweet heat and Jamaican jerk wings. It took probably 15 to 20 minutes for my order to complete which means that every single thing is made to order and you can tell! Staff is chill and respectful, and helped out and selecting customer favorites that I wanted to try . Make sure you try that Jamaican jerk, wings, and the spicy Hawaiian brisket!

    this place is super close to old town orange/orange circle! I loved the crust on this pizza. we got a large with half lebanese garlic chicken and half big al's supreme and while the lebanese garlic chicken is unique, my favorite was the supreme. we also got the lemon pepper wings which was interesting because it was liquid so the wings were drenched in the sauce, instead of the normal dry rub that i'm used to. service was great they were very friendly and [[HIGHLIGHT]]there's a large area to eat in store but looks like most people got to go[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    We were craving pizza, so decided to try this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The dining area is pretty big and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We walked over to the front to place our order. We got a large pizza - half lebanese garlic chicken half brisket and a lb of crispy wings with 3 sauces on the side. We tried the Jamaican jerk, lemon pepper, and red dragon. My daughter also wanted to try a cheesecake, so we got the strawberry shortcake flavor. The food came out and we were in love of the brightness of the pizza. The lebanese garlic chicken was so colorful! The wings are baked and super crispy!!!! I loved both flavors of the pizza. They are very unique. I tried the Jamaican jerk sauce on the wings and WOW it was very spicy!!! The red dragon was like a sweet and sauce sauce with a little kick as well. I definitely would come here again to try the other unique flavors!! 10/10

    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!

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience: Decor is modern and clean, with plenty of seating throughout the restaurant that can accommodate large parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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!

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's still a great place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. I Just need to not request them crispy.

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of room inside w/ Tvs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I had such a great experience at Big Al's Pizzeria! I love that they have so many halal options, and the fusion of Mexican and Lebanese flavors makes the menu so unique and to be honest one of my favs because I LOVE FUSION FOOD! The staff was incredibly welcoming from the moment we walked in and gave us great recommendations on what to order, which made the experience even better. We tried the sweet and spicy wings, and they were absolutely delicious a bit spicy but yummy. The wait wasn't long at all, the restaurant has plenty of convenient parking, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also love that you can catch a game while you eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're looking for a spot with amazing food, friendly service, and a fun atmosphere, Big Al's is definitely worth checking out!

    YOOOOO THIS PLACE IS FIREE! there's parking behind the place very quick and easy. I never been here before but when me and my girl went, it was so delicious. 10/10 customer service thank you Samuel for your time and hospitality. YOURE THE BOMB super sweet and welcoming 10/10 if you're reading this and you're not sure what flavor to choose, Smoky Brisket with Pineapple THAT WAS SO YUMMY and savory 9/10 on the lemon pepper chickens mhmm mhmm it comes out so fresh too! [[HIGHLIGHT]]10/10 seating inside!! There's so much room and good vibes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thank you so much!! Will come again. Lots of different variety of pizza flavors. Very shareable

    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.

    What happened to the rewards we used to earn?

    Hi Julie, our rewards system moved to the app and is now all automated! Download the app (Big Al's Pizzeria) in the Apple or Google Play store. Thanks!

    Your website mentions certification by Halal Transactions of Omaha (HTO). HTO certifies machine slaughtered chicken as zabiha but if I'm looking for strictly hand-slaughtered chicken, would you be able to confirm if your chicken is hand-slaughtered?

    Chicken on pizza is hand slaughtered and the wings are machine slaughtered. I Dm the owner that's what he said!

    Are you guys officially open?

    Yes they are as of 12/22/2022 in Orange, CA but waiting time is longer then expected so be prepared.

    This is my new go to place for pizza and I've been telling my fellow foodies in the area about it…read more Let me preface this review by saying that I'm usually a Pizza Hut customer and had been pretty happy with my local location, great pizza, frequent discounts and friendly service. I came across Pizza Guys, because my child's school was running a fundraiser here, so I didn't have high expectations, I mean, it's a fundraiser after all... Wow was I in for a surprise! There are 3 reasons why I would give a restaurant my business, all 3 reasons being equally important. One, it has to be yummy. The pizza here was surprisingly yummy and they didn't skimp on the toppings! Two, the price has to be right. The prices were reasonable and when they run a sale, I am getting excellent value for my money. Three, it should have decent service at a minimum. This is where it blew me away! The service here was not only excellent, it was the kind that retains customers and loyalty. In fact, I will buy from this location regardless of whether there was an active sale at the time and even if the location is out of my way. The people at the Katella location are usually friendly and nice. However, the dynamic duo that has earned my loyalty to this location are Bruno and Josh. Long story short, my kids like their pizza square cut, but at some point, the app ordering system was changed so that I can no longer choose that option and it's too much hassle to call in every time, so I went several orders/months with the typical cut/slice. When I went in last night for my app placed pizza, I was happy to see that Bruno and Josh were behind the counter, since I hadn't seen them in a long time (I've been visiting on their off days), but what surprised me was that Bruno actually remembered that I prefer my pizza square cut and Josh had the pizza/toppings just the way my kids like it. The guys did that for me, without my asking! Wow!!! I can't believe that Bruno actually remembered my preference after all this time!!! As busy and lazy as I am, I feel compelled to write this review, because what they did was above and beyond expectations. Bruno and Josh are young men, I have no doubt that if/when they outgrow this location, just the attitude and attention to detail alone, both essential entrepreneur mindsets, will get them far in life. I wouldn't be surprised if they have their own franchised Pizza Guys locations later and I'd be one of the first customers to visit and say, I told you so! ;)

    Pizza guys !! Located behind del taco and same plaza as smart and final…read more Ordered online. My pizza was ready 3 min before they said online. Cashier was super nice. Now the pizza. Excellent. I got a large with extra sauce. They packed on the jalapeno. Quality of the ingredients are there. I really like how they cut the slices. Perfect size Overall great experience. From the customer service. To the timing of my food. To the quality of my dinner.

They don't offer delivery, don't have a website, and don't have an online menu with current prices, so you're basically ordering without knowing what anything costs. The biggest issue came when I ordered one large two-topping pizza with split toppings half on one side and half on the other plus an order of wings. I was quoted $50 because they said they charge for every single topping, even if it's only on half of the pizza. Charging full price for a topping that's only on half the pizza feels unreasonable and misleading. Without a website or posted pricing, there's no way for customers to know this ahead of time, which makes the total come as a complete surprise. I understand businesses can set their own pricing policies, but customers deserve transparent pricing and an easy way to see a menu before ordering. Until they make their pricing more clear and customer-friendly, I'll be taking my business elsewhere.. and who knows they probably did that so they could pocket the extra money when we have to drive there to get it how sad.
