I've been going to Al's for 20+ years since I was a kid living in Huntington Beach. I make a point to stop by for pizza any time I am in town or passing by. Best Pizza I've had in California!Parking: There is a long parking lot and neighboring businesses with large parking lots.

My husband has been coming here since the 90s and it’s amazing to see a restaurant stay true to its roots. The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. We ordered meatball subs and a cheese pizza and it was pure perfection. Thanks to Al for all you do!

I was trying to get a NY style pizza but got a thick and undercooked pizza instead. I asked Heather on three occasions to make it thin and crispy but she failed three times. She’s nice but not capable of fulfilling pizza orders. Very frustrating. Lots of apologies but not what I wanted. I’ll try elsewhere.

A great pizza with good quality ingredients. I ordered a pepperoni pizza with extra cheese. Everything had a great flavor and it was cooked perfectly. This is a great spot to try if you haven’t already. I can’t wait to try some of their specialty pizzas and sides. Thank

Amazing prices for working class folks who don’t want to spend $20 on a lunch. Amazing food that you can eat for lunch and still have enough for dinner. These kind of places are hard to come by and I appreciate this business so much

Great pizza spot, Staff is friendly and accommodating if it’s your first time here. As of right now may be the best New York style pizza. Can’t go wrong with big pizza slices and a stuffed calzone.

First time here. Great and friendly service!Pizza was great and had a slight crispiness on the pizza dough throughout and the calzone ? was ooey gooey cheesy with fluff and crispiness too. Oh and super affordable! Will definitely be back!!

The pizza and ingredients are quality. The place was open on a holiday which was nice. The parking can get tricky so be prepared to navigate that.

Really good and well priced New York style food. Very generous portions. Never disappoints and and always consistently good.
