I love how they have unique pizza flavors here and how you can do half half for large/x-large pizzas to try more! I got the Lebanese garlic chicken and brisket pizza and both were sooo good! They are generous with the meat and I love how crispy their crust is. The lemon pepper wings are also very flavorful and I like the dessert options here!

Good service and plenty of seating inside with free parking in the back. A pizza spot worth visiting if you want to try a unique flavor like Lebanese chicken or birria taco. And explore shops nearby. All Halal meats. I recommend getting half and half of two flavors. You can get 1 slice but it's not as big as the 16inch pizza. They also have wings, salads, and baked goodies. Eat the pizza hot. All made fresh to order and crust is not dry. Loved the Lebanese chicken pizza's garlic herb crust. The white sauce on top was light. Vegetable pizza was average but a good classic considering Costco no longer has their combo pizza.

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 there's a large area to eat in store but looks like most people got to go

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!

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!

We were craving pizza, so decided to try this place. The dining area is pretty big and clean. 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

Brisket pizza

Amazing food. Best halal pizza in town. We got the brisket pizza and they hit it out of the park. Restraint was clean and had no odors. Staff was very nice and food came out in a timely manner.Will definitely be visiting again.

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.

Burt "crispy wings".

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.

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! 10/10 seating inside!! There's so much room and good vibes. 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.

I advised her that when i order in store, they come out faster. Well i asked for a refund and you'll never guess what...... the order was all of a sudden ready . Yeah, last time going here or ordering , I'll just make the wings at home, it's Tyson wings anyways.

We ordered the holdaak spicy chicken sandwich combo, which came with a side of fries and slaw, and the Seoul spicy chicken sandwich, which is supposed to be a yangyeom flavor (Korean sweet and spicy). Both chicken pieces were sizable and were not dry. The individual smothering of sauces also add some flavor and moisture. Fair warning that it's messy as the chicken, slaw, and sauce drip. Between the Holdaak spicy and the Seoul spicy, we preferred the Holdaak spicy.

My order came out immediately after I ordered, which explains the dryness of the chicken--probably had it pre-made, sitting out, and ready to assemble. The water and/or ice used in the fountain drinks also have a really bad taste--how I would imagine toilet water to taste like. However, the taste/flavors of the sauces and slaw were good, which is why I am writing this review for this specific location only. The girl at the cash register was also nice. Whoever is overseeing the franchisees needs to do some better QC.

I eventually found the clipboard with the waiting list and added my party. For about 20 minutes, no staff came to the front to check the list or seat anyone. I finally walked toward the kitchen area and asked an associate whether seating was happening or if guests should consider leaving. He was friendly and went to check, and shortly after, a few staff members came out and began seating everyone. It seemed like they were limiting the flow of guests due to low staffing. Given that it was Week 2 of the NFL season -- a Thursday night Bills vs. Lions game -- I would've expected management to anticipate a busier-than-usual evening and staff accordingly. Ironically, I was seated at the same table where I had waited earlier. Once seated, service and food were fine. But the initial walk‑in experience was rough; anyone with less patience would've walked out. I'm not here to bash the restaurant -- just noting that if you visit on a game night, it's best to lower your expectations.

Great service and timing for a pre-movie bite, but the cleanliness missed the mark…read more We stopped in here just to kill some time before catching a movie, and logistically, it started off great. We were seated immediately, the atmosphere was lively with games on all the screens, and our waitress was quick, attentive, and completely on point. Even though we kept it simple with just boneless wings and fries, the food came out hot and pretty good. The Major Issue: Unfortunately, my rating has to reflect a serious concern regarding cleanliness. We arrived right when they first opened for the day, which means the restaurant had just been prepped yet the indoor tables were uncleaned, the physical menus still had food residue on them, and we found a random, used fork with food still on it sitting right on top of our booth. The seats themselves also had old food debris left behind. As a diner, finding previous guests' leftover food on menus, tables, and seats right at opening is a major red flag it's not just unpleasant, it's a genuine health and safety hazard. The Verdict: The staff was pleasant and the service was fast, but management really needs to tighten up opening side-work and sanitation protocols. I hope they address this, because the core service team deserves better backup from the cleaning standards.

Horrible horrible horrible customer service. Very rude and not helpful at all…read more We spoke to the manager Erik would told us the wait would be 25-30 minutes. I asked him why and he basically sarcastically gave me no reason or explanation. I asked several times and he was rude. We ended up leaving the establishment to go to a friendly restaurant. I will never go to your restaurant again!!
