1673 Irvine Avenue B Costa Mesa, CA 92627
Today: 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM
Authentic New York style pizza right here in Costa Mesa, CA! Folks don't always know what makes New York Style pizza so special, but it has a long and proud history. These hand-tossed, thinner-crust pies are sold in wider slices that are crisp along the edge, and still soft in the middle so you can fold your slice for easier eating. They actually are much closer to original Italian pies than most pizza! And at Al's, the Italian heritage of our dishes is of the utmost importance to us. Our top quality, fresh ingredients make our calzones, salads, specialty entrees, pasta, deli sandwiches, and hot sandwiches and subs a real stand-out from the rest. However, it's our service that keeps our customers coming back again and again. At Al's, everyone is family. We know your name, your kid's names, and where they go to school. We want to make you comfortable, and stuff you full of delicious Italian food! But don't take our word for it, come see for yourself! You can dine-in, or order online for pick-up or delivery.

out of 5 starsTry the Pepperoni pizza by BeFamousToday on 12/6/2010 via Citysearch
I don't usually order pepperoni pizza it's too common. But they have it available by the slice. It is about the best you'll find anywhere. Thin and delicious. Better than many others I've tried. The calzone is a meal for two. Fantastic.
Verified New York style by Rodney B on 4/6/2010 via Insider Pages
This ex-New Yorker was pretty happy to find Al's. They have really good basic Italian Take-out food, and the pizza is very, very good. They really do care, they'll appreciate the local business and you'll feel like family. Great bread…

Al's is a little hole-in-the-wall take out place with really good food.Authentic, New-York style pizza by the slice, calzone, sandwiches and a variety of excellent pasta dishes. They also do catering and local delivery.

Tiny place, huge following by Cheryl P on 8/17/2008 via Insider Pages
Al's is about as big as your patio at home, but it is busy ALL the time. They have great specials and you can get pizza by the slice. If they have the ingredient, just ask and they will put it on your pizza for you.
The most incredible italian food! by kalina27 on 12/21/2006 via Citysearch
I was first introduced to Al's Cafe at my company Christmas party. He was our carter for the party and I have to say I was sooo impressed. I couldn't get enough of his food. It wasn't only me, every person at the party kept going back for…
Nasty service by soccerplyr9 on 5/8/2006 via Citysearch
I am an individual involved in a large group delivery order from Al's on a bi-monthly basis. However, more recently, their delivery service has gone down the drain. The young lady who first took our order spoke too fast. And then in order…
You Want Pizza? Al's Got THE BEST! by Rio D on 6/13/2005 via Insider Pages
Al's is tucked behind the Blockbuster / La Cave restaurant building at the intersection of Irvine Avenue and 17th Street, next door to the 7-Eleven. I developed my craving for Al's Greek Special pizza even before I moved back to…
Classic, awesome NY-style pizzeria by erineleone on 5/3/2005 via Citysearch
The best NY-style pizza (thin crust, large slices) and it's pretty cheap too. I love being back in NY and just grabbing a slice here and there and Al's is the only pizza place I've been too around here that actually tastes like pizza that…
Awesome by bifftannen77 on 12/24/2004 via Citysearch
Everything at Al's is tasty. The Al's special pizza is the best. Good sandwiches and pasta too. Been eating there for over 10 years! Not really a place you eat at, but good for take out or delivery.
Closest to NYC on the West Coast by jmtrudeau on 8/4/2004 via Citysearch
Al's has about the closest to real New York style Pizza on the west coast and it is absolutely delicious. The Lasagna is great too! Very informal atmosphere and comfortable.
