First few times we had Yala's pizza it was great. Usually get the same type. Onions, banana peppers, and sausage. The last 3 times we've ordered the flavor just wasn't there. The crust was over cooked and the sausage was burned. Have been disappointed with the quality of the ingredients. read more

We love the pizza, but the service is horrible. We've been ordering 4-6 pizzas every Sunday night for over 15 years. They still don't recognize our name when we order or pick up. 2 out of every 3 orders are incorrect. Forgotten pizzas, wrong items on pizza. Pizzas not done for up to 30 minutes AFTER the promised time. They NEVER offer any compensation for waiting.....and waiting......and waiting. The customer service is declining at a rapid pace and we have actually, finally, made the decision to stop buying our pizza there. Maybe this will help others get their pizza on time, since they won't have our $35-60 order to worry about on Sundays any more. Delicious? Yes. Worth the wait every week? NO! read more

Great pizza, our favorite local pizza spot in our new home town. We like Yala's crust and the Meatballs are outstanding.

First pizza I had moving here to Ohio and it was the best ... I think this going to be my favourite pizza place .... since I don't like Pizza Hut or Dominos..... it's a small pizza place .. but you know what they say don't judge a book by its cover and boy there pizza shines read more

The Eliseo's is the best pizza in Lorain hands down. It may be the best pizza I have ever had. I just finished eating seven slices of pepperoni wirh extra sauce. Pizza nirvana. read more

Ordered a large deluxe Yalas pizza ($18), told 30 minutes but actually over an hour wait. The pizza was a big disappointment. The crust was dry and the pepperoni on the edges was burnt, there was only a thin-thin layer of cheese. Not the good old Yalas pizza of years past. Will not order from them again. read more

Absolutely the best pizza I've had in NE Ohio. Have eaten there several times and they never disappoint. A little expensive but I'm willing to pay for something that's quality. I had the Eliseo pizza with sausage and pepperoni. Super delicious! Well worth the drive and price! read more

Without a doubt the greasiest Pizza I ever ordered. Picked it up ontime and it was not even hot. Asked for extra sauce had barely any. Crust was like cardboard. I will never go back. I will stick with East of Chicago read more

My favorite local pizza shop, great tasting pizza especially the sausage, highly recommend. The things that are bad it seems like price keeps on going up for a large and they charge an extra 50 cent for you to use your debt card. I still get a pizza from Yalas adleast once a month. You will not be disappointed read more

Love Yalas pizza. Best pizza in Lorain by far. They have an awesome buttery crust. They are very affordable. I love ordering pizza from this place. I am so glad that it is only a few minutes away from my house that way when people come over that do not live here I can show them the "Yalas Experience"! read more

Yallas is on the list of food I only eat when I come home. I haven't found any that come close in Louisville, ky. I'm still trying to find one I can add to my list for the Ville. read more

I've eaten Yala's pizza since I was a kid. I live in Carolina now and go out of my way to have my favorite pizza of all time. Still the best anywhere. read more

It was ok, cheese tasted like it was lower quality. Pepperoni was delicious, I guess I just expected a bit more. Average.

Living in California, I only get to Yala's when visiting the Lorain area. It's always a treat. I grew up close by, and this was and always will be my favorite pizza place! The cheese and pepperoni are out of this world. Luckily, they sell unbaked or half-baked pizzas, which I buy, and freeze, and bring home to California with me! It's a special treat, until our next visit! You can't go wrong with a Yala's pizza. read more

I've had pizza all over this country, and they all leave me wishing I was having a Yala's pepperoni. This is the only place to get your pizza in Lorain as far as I am concerned. read more

Zero stars.... terrible customer service. Napkins were out of the questions. I can't believe they would not change my order from what they had. Gave me an attitude when I picked it up. Sorry but thanks. read more

Do not go to Yala's at all. Terrible customer service. After told to wait 30 minutes I had to wait an additional hour. The greasiest pizza I've ever had. The mushrooms taste rubber and they were kind of cold. Young employee was very rude and disrespectful. They will not be receiving my money anymore read more

Delicious pizza! I just wish we would've got a large instead of the small. Perfectly done, fresh ingredients. Not greasy or undercooked at all. The salad was great too! All of the veggies were super fresh. read more

Yala's pizza was the bomb on July 18. I asked for toppings to the edge & extra sauce. Wish I would've taken a pic of pizza. It was perfect. Frank, cook, did a superb job. I'll only order a pizza if Frank's making it. #satisfiedcustomer read more

My favorite pizza joint by far, I have only ordered from the Yala's menu so far and haven't tried Elisios menu or w/e it is, the only diff from what i can see is that one is pan pizza. read more

We live in the area and wanted to try a new pizza place (something besides the typical East of Chicago or Marco's). I searched Yelp and found this place, so we gave it a shot. Boy am I glad we did!!! So good! We got the "deep dish" pizza and the cheese bread it was amazing! I would highly recommend giving this place a chance. Inside looked small so more of a carry out place I would say. They even have a drive through to pick up your order. read more

Great pizza joint my Dad enjoyed in the "good ol' days". Pizza was great especially the crust. I can only rate the Yala's style crust which was just thick enough with crispy edge. Next time I'll try the Eliseo's deep dish crust. The sliced sausage was nice and thin with just the perfect flavor to complement the homemade sauce. The icing on the cake to insure that I'll be back was the great customer service. read more

I consider myself a pizza connoisseur. I have worked with and ate every kind of pizza you can imagine. This is the best pizza I have ever ate. The sauce is robust with no overpowering herbs or sweetness, the cheese is melted to the point of perfect stretching without falling off of your slice. Toppings are fresh and not center loaded. This is your pizza shop for authentic non-chain pizza done right. read more

Best Pizza in the world!!!! They get your pizza out hot and fresh. I recommend this pizza to all my family and friends.

Favorite pizza place in the area. Always get exactly what I ask for and always delicious. Eliseos style white pizza with garlic butter and tomatoes is the best read more

Love, love, love Yala's pizza! I make sure that I order a large cheese pizza every time I'm in town. It's super cheesy. The crust is not too thin, not too thick and the crust is perfect. Soft in the middle with a slight crunch on the outside. They even have a drive-through! It's by far the best pizza I've ever eaten. read more

Awesome service and awesome pizza ... the only pizza I will eat. Crust is always crunch but the pizza is soft and tons of flavor .. I love to but the garlic sauce to dip the crust into .. read more

Didn't live up to reviews...I like grease on a pizza, but there is flavor and then there is grease. Nothing makes it stand out so it gets a common rating. read more

I am thoroughly disappointed and upset by my experience at Yala's. As a busy mother who has two small children who love pizza, I have been a loyal costumer since we bought a home in the area, but unfortunately, I will not give them any business ever again. My last 4 pizzas have been burnt, cold or made incorrectly. I stopped ordering from Yala's for 3 months because of the poor costumer service I had after they added onion to a pizza I ordered back in May. They refused to refund us, made us bring the pizza back in order for them to correct their mistake & then they made us wait another 45 mins for another pizza. I have a 3 year old son with autism who will not eat many foods & was pretty upset by the situation. I didn't mention how much trouble it caused is that day, I was just disappointed & stopped going. I tried again this week because our favorite local pizza shop doesn't open until 4pm on Thursdays. And my experience was so upsetting that I am leaving this review to warn people of the lack of care they might endure if their pizza is unsatisfactory & they ever simply want their money back or a full store credit. First of all, no manager would get on the phone to speak with me about the situation & despite my proof of purchase, the fact that I have a photo of the pizza & the word of a manager (who spoke through the employee answering the phone on Friday evening 8/16/2019) The managers of YALAS working on Sunday 8/18 refused to give me a full credit for the pizza we ordered because one of them forgot to write it "in the books". They spoke to me in a very unapologetic and dry manner over the phone as if it was my fault. I was pretty upset & explained how difficult dinner time can be if the food is not correct with a child who has autism and they did not care. As a college student, I worked for a small pizza parlor located just off of the BGSU campus & also the Dominos in BG & I cannot imagine any manager ever treating a customer the way the manager Ken treated me today. I drove there to speak in person because he would not speak with me on the phone & he told me that he was being generous by offering me a $7 credit (even though our bad pizza cost $14.50). By far the worst experience I have ever had with any food place in my life. Unbelievable. I get the impression that they do not care about their customers experience... they are all about the money. Smh. read more

The flavor of the dough is awful, no spice flavor at all in sauce. I would not recommend this to anyone.

I love this place. They recently added a drive-thru, making pizza pick-up even more convenient.

I called to place an order today, Monday. I was put on hold for several minutes before they got back to me. It took about 30 seconds to take my order. I asked for a total and was put on hold again. After several minutes I hung up. I was on the phone over 6 minutes at that time. I called back and cancelled my order. I called again to speak with the manager. I started out by telling him I didn't want anything free, I just want to express my disappointment. Instead of saying, " I'm apologize but we are training new people and they haven't been here long". He got defensive and was a little rude. I again told him I wanted nothing but to express the fact that it was a little excessive to take over 6 minutes to take an order. He persisted to be defensive and rude. We are locals and have been patronizing this shop for more than 4 decades. Because of this manager they have lost life long loyal customers. This makes me sad but, we will start ordering from Rosie's, Selenti's or Giovanni's. Management must support their employees but, when a customer calls with an issue you should listen and at least act concerned. Don't be so arrogant as to think you're the only pizza place in town. read more

I'm glad I only live about a mile from Yala's. When I get a craving for their pizza I simply have to have it NOW! Absolutely without a doubt THE BEST pizza on the planet. If you haven't had it yet, get one now. You won't be disappointed! Enjoy! read more

It seems unfair that I have to judge every pizza ive had in my entire life to yalas pizza. Years of consistently good work. Its a small shop so when things are busy you may new to wait in the storefront for a moment or two for pickup and the drive thru will almost always have a car in it but it's a perfect staple pie / hangover cure that is hard to beat. The cost and taste difference from any chain is noticeable and nigh unbeatable if youre in town or even passing through. read more

Yala's pizza was THE absolute best pizza that I've ever eaten (and believe me, I've eaten at many pizza parlors around Ohio and out of state as well) right up until about the late 80's early 90's and then something changed!!! same sauce..just never a generous amount like they once gave you, toppings are the same, but then again just like their sauce, they always skimp! even the cheese is different, VERY generic tasting if you ask me, DEFINATELY not what Mrs. Yala used and she would be embarrassed about the way that this pizza tastes today. I'm sorry, but the person that owns this place has completely ruined the quintessential Yala's pizza flavor period...what a darn shame!!!!!!! because their pizza was to DIE for when I grew up in the 70's and 80's. My folks used to order 2 large every Satuday night for years! but not any more due to their inconsistencies and a different recipe I'll pass. read more
