This pizza was so bad. It was rubbery, the cheese and pepperoni easily slid off of it, and it looked sad as if it was lacking cheese, pepperoni, and crust! The crust was soggy and floppy as well. The photos on Yelp looked promising but when I opened it at the restaurant, it looked very disappointing.
Alright you yelpaholics! I am finally unveiling my review for 5 loaves. Found this gem luckily on yelp looking up food near me and found this gem! I've tried quite a few items from the menu everything was really good or amazing! This restaurant offers catering for large parties as well as just a quick meal to satisfy your foodie cravings! The restaurant is easy to miss for its tucked away in between some daycare centers. The beautiful girl told me the food is Egyptian, Italian, Greek food. Kinda a combo of all three. To me what makes this place great is the love and passion in the food! You can literally taste it. I'll try and keep this short here we go! The Greek salad was fresh with Greek olives it gives you a nice salty pallet with fresh bell pepper and cherry tomatoes to go along with feta and creamy dressing so good! Even the grilled chicken on top had great flavor. Mamas calzone is to die for! So yummy with eggplant and no meat is surprisingly good and my favorite calzone from them. Falafel was one of the best I've ever had! Ask for the spicy one! Koushary first time ever having was so good and unique I'm getting that again. The rock sandwich wrap was yummy had this several times! So many more things I want to try from their menu. The chef informed me that their menu has seasonal items like moussaka, baklava, shawarma, and their eggplant dishes look so good! So catch em while you can. What makes great food? Good ingredients, good recipe, sure but in my opinion it also takes love and you can tell these guys love what they do. When I say catch em when you can because their have different hours than your typical restaurant, it's worth the wait worth every penny. Their prices on the menu are very reasonable, great outdoor patio for spring, summer and fall vibes, come enjoy a afternoon or evening here and eat some great food you feel good about eating because of the people that made it! And it's healthier side of the American diet these days. With that being said thank you for taking the time to read my review I'll keep posting or adding it with reviews of their other dishes yum can't wait! Shout out to 5 loaves and Maryanne! If you didn't know already where they got the name 5 loaves from... Jesus fed 5000 people with only 5 loaves and 2 fish, you can find this in Matthew 14:13. God bless 5 loaves restaurant and thanks for feeding me! Mahalo! Piacere! Grazie Mille! Arrivederci!
First time here! Came here at noon on a Friday and the place was a bit hard to find. It seems like it's behind a church and they only have a wooden signboard/chalkboard with stairs leading up to some outdoor seating and there weren't very many people. Despite this, the woman that helped me out was very welcoming and they were advertising a Thanksgiving promotion: for the whole month of November any meal comes with a complimentary drink-of-choice in observance of Thanksgiving! I got the Italiano Calzone (5/5), Large-Sized. It comes with two housemade marinara sauce and it is HUGE! It can be shared comfortably between 2-3 people. It's perfectly salty and there's cheese inside as well as outside the calzone and baked to perfection. I would definitely come back here and bring some friends along. The food is really something to talk about but wish more people knew about this hidden gem.
2.9 Stars Interesting very small restaurant/ stand in an industrial park off the corner of Muirlands and Wrigley. 1. Extremely limited parking. Less than 8 spaces. 2. No indoor seating, but covered, picnic table type patio seating If there is nobody outside waiting for you, there is a wireless remote type doorbell attached to a clear plastic slate that you press to announce that you are there so somebody can take your order. This is why I called this a "restaurant/stand". It is more like a stand or take out location The pizza crust was almost soggy and was more like what you would expect out of thicker pita bread than pizza dough. It was not crisp or crunchy at all and slices easily bent and deformed even while picking up the first slice. Taste was so-so, but the sparse toppings were at least fresh. They apparently have WiFi for guests, but there is no posted WiFi password. Website menu prices are not the same as the ones on the current menu. Prices must have gone up. The individual sized, 8-inch pizza and a canned 12 ounce soft drink cost me about $14. It may be that their other entrees or sandwiches are better, but the pizza really disappointed me. I was expecting better. This pizza was not even up to the level of a bulk chain like Dominos, Little Caesars, Round Table, etc.
I ordered the Mama's Calzone expecting it to be vegan based on the menu on their Yelp page (also attached). I had asked if it was vegan over the phone, but the connection was bad and it appears they didn't hear me. Turns out it's not vegan and the menu on their yelp page is not accurate, they add mozzarella to it. When I told the woman behind the counter that their yelp is misleading, she got a little defense and (imo a little rude), saying something to the effect of: our yelp is very high, so for you to tell us what to do... I showed her the picture of menu that showed the Mama's Calzone was vegan, she took a closer look and asked if it had mozzarella on the menu. Upon looking and seeing it did not, she said she would get it updated. The whole interaction left a bad taste in my mouth and the entire thing was an unpleasant experience.
I really wanted to like it. It's an out of the way place, industrial, attached to a community center. Very nice staff. Unfortunately... the food was not exciting. We tried a couple of calzones and a couple of deserts. They just didn't work. I would not call them calzones by any stretch of the imagination. The "calzones" were a doughy bread with a little meat, a bunch of cheese and almost no sauce. The sauce had little flavor, as did the calzone itself. Not terrible, not great. The desert... heavy, oily, can't remember the name. Not exciting in any way. Anyway, I guess it would be an ok lunch place in a pinch, but so far, not impressed, based on what we tried. And it took over 30 minutes to get our food!!!
Food was great and the staff was very nice. It's in a business park so a great place if you work close by. All the seating is outdoor but well shaded and ample. Had the Philly cheesesteak. It's more of a torpedo size but very good. Also had a great dessert but couldn't tell what it was.
Alright, so I'm driving looking for this place and I'm a little confused because it's located in a business park that doesn't look like it has a restaurant in it. Looks like a normal office building. Park in the small parking lot and then walk up the stairs towards the back of the building, you'll see a double door and a small counter you order from. They have plenty of seating with shade outside, there's some games you can play too in the back (I think I saw corn hole but didn't really stay too long to really take a look). The ladies working at the counter were super sweet and helpful. I ordered the Italian on a roll with all the fixings (lettuce, mayo, pickles, chopped red onion, banana peppers). Bread was so soft and fresh, sandwich was delicious. Almost like they warmed up the meat before putting it on the bread. 10/10 will be back! One thing I recommend- normally people like chips with their sandos, probably have a station got chips there as an added option for a "meal".

Five Loaves is such a hidden gem (literally)! My partner found it on yelp randomly and we've been twice. The first time we got pizza and fries. We love their fries! The second time we got the fries again. The mozzarella sticks were okay, you didn't have a cheese pull. My partner got the chicken ranch wrap and it was good. Overall really great flavor and food. The people who work there are nice. Please visit! read more

Extremely disappointed because the reviews and photos looked promising. There must have been an ownership change or something, because this pizza did not look at all like the photos or the website. The pizza was really bad: everything fell off of it, the taste of the ingredients wasn't good, just overall disappointing. Was also confused when picking it up, the location didn't seem like a restaurant and you don't go in the store, you wait outside. But no one was there to help me so it was confusing. Cannot speak to the other type of food, but avoid the pizza. read more

I ordered the spicy falafel sandwich (~$9), which comes in one giant pita bread and cut into two halves. The falafels were flavorful, full of spices, with a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior. Inside were also peppers to add more heat, perfect for my moderate spice tolerance! The lettuce and tomatoes, while not the highest quality, added some freshness ,and the hummus spread added additional flavor and nuttiness to the whole sandwich. I would rate this sandwich a 4.5/5 due to the flavors and the fairly low price. I would love to come back and try the Italian side! read more

It's a hole in the wall place and I had to do a double take because there was no sign. There was a kind gentleman that was sitting in front that showed me in. I was warmly greeted and the menu was kindly explained. They are really just starting out so maybe they have things that they need to work out. I got the falafel sandwich as there were some people that recommended it. It was awesome. The bread was slightly toasted, and the star of the sandwich was definitely the falafel, which was crispy, herbaceous and flavorful. They probably can sell the falafel and do pretty well. read more

Dined here 5 times already, fast food nice sunny seating with umbrellas. Tried the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich, it was just Perfect, tried pizzas and was very good, not think like the ones I love but still excellent at least for my children. Tried the eggs and crispy bacon sandwich and again fell in love. Their best sandwich is the falafel, if you are a Vegan food expert like me , you would easily figure out that the best falafel sandwich is the ones made by Egyptians made off beans (not hummus). I wish I could get a plate of fried Eggs with Bacon, but they don't serve that. Another perfect thing is the affordable prices read more

This place was seriously amazing. I was needing something new to try and I found Five Loaves online so I thought I'd check them out. I got two entrees, since they were so well priced! One was a cheeseless veggie pizza, and the other was the falafel sandwich. The pizza was great! It had these really cool thin sliced potatoes that had good flavor and added a great texture to the pizza. For a little over $5, amazing. The next thing I got was the falafel sandwich and... wow. This might just be my favorite falafel sandwich in all of Orange County. He recommended the pita and I'm so glad he did. It's so good! Check out the picture I took, it almost has a sourdough like quality to it, but it's still pita. As much as I love tzaziki, hummus and tahini are my favorite falafel toppings, and that's how they do it here. But great toppings are nothing without great falafel and those hit the mark as well! The falafel is amazing! All in all, I walked away with two great meals for about $12. Unheard of. I will absolutely be returning. read more

Nice little hole in the wall spot with friendly service and good food! The amount of food isn't too overwhelming and the price points are good as well. I was just going to get the chicken cheesesteak sandwich but got convince to try their potato flats. The potato flats are similar to potato wedges but thinner and I actually enjoyed the seasoning they put on it. I love me some potatoes and the flats were a perfect crunchy outside with a soft inside. Recommend this place for a satisfying lunch! read more
