As a New Yorker it is incredibly hard to find quality pizza in California let alone a small restaurant that is New York style! Fabulous pizza, well cooked, never doughy or dry Tons of flavor and their sauce is truly chefs kiss If I could I would eat their Sicilian slice with red sauce every day read more

**April 8th, 2026 Update** I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Sal's Pizzeria and Local By Toast! After receiving an email from Sal's Pizzeria's Customer Service team letting me know they were really sorry that they had a system glitch that showed they were open for Easter instead of being closed, they offered to refund all of the orders placed that day and even offered $5 off our next Sal's Pizzeria order. I did end up getting refunded and I plan on coming back to Sal's to use my coupon again. I really appreciate their attention and compensation and for reaching out and refunding their customers. That says a lot about this company and the reason I love them! Thank you so much! **Original Review April 5th, 2026** Pretty Disappointed with this restaurant. I placed an order for a Meat Sauce Spaghetti on Easter Sunday via the Local By Toast app. I visited the restaurant after church and they were closed! I called the restaurant 6 times and no answer. Knocked twice and no answer. I didn't get any notification from Local By Toast that they were closed. In fact, both the app and Apple Maps says that they are opened. Upon looking at the restaurant, there was no sign that they would be closed on Easter Sunday either, so I just feel misled and pretty distraught right now. I spoke with a really kind gentleman by the name of Andy who was in the Laser Tag next door. He mentioned he placed an order for pizza through Sal's Pizzeria and they took his money as well. It would have been really nice to know this before I placed my order and wasted my funds. I'm still trying to get a refund as we speak. Andy recommended I come back on another day as the employees are really nice people (Frank and others) but I don't think I would come back to this one after my experience. I would rather go back to the one in Foothill Ranch. All is forgiven I'm just pretty sad about it right now. read more

We visited Sal's for the first time because it was on the Lake Forest BOGO gift card program. Well, that didn't work out well because the employees tried 2 of our cards and they said both were invalid! but I emailed Yiftee customer service and they said the cards were fine. So that was a bad start already. We ordered two slices of the mushroom & pepperoni and a Stromboli. The food took quite a little while to be ready, but they were a little busy. There are just a few tables inside and then some on the patio area. No beer or wine here, which I think would make the experience better. Pizza was just ok, nothing above average. Maybe we will try a different variety if we visit again. The stromboli was really good, packed with cheese and meats, my guy enjoyed this item. I like the location, next to several other restaurants and beverage/dessert spots. And Walmart, Target, etc. nearby. read more

I really like Sal's Pizzeria because of their tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella they use. Ordering has been a breeze through their website or using DoorDash. The only item I have been disappointed by are the garlic knots. Everything else has been absolutely delicious. Parking can be a bit confusing at this location. You will have to find a spot and go up to the plaza level. Garage parking is free. They do offer curbside pickup and free delivery order with online codes. The garage also has a Tesla supercharger. I have placed an order to go pick up while having my vehicle charged. Something to keep in mind. Looking forward to returning again in the future at this location and perhaps trying out their pasta and Stromboli next. read more

We ordered the spinach and eggplant pinwheel and a sausage pinwheel to go. When we got home, we noticed they gave us a pepperoni pinwheel instead of sausage. A bummer. But all were really, really tasty despite the mistake. I thought the breaded eggplant was awesome - initially was hesitant to try it, but was thrilled by how good it was. They were so cheesy and paired with a delicious marinara sauce. I grew up eating pinwheels and they are hard to come by! They are pretty expensive for one, but I would go back. read more

Delicious quick pizza place in the kaleidoscope with pizza by the slice. Black and white cookies and garlic knots. The pizza is delicious though the options were limited unfortunately. The ambiance reflected a grab and go type setup where they assume people will take their slice and walk around, however they still had ample seating for those that wanted to stay. The employees are friendly and professional and provided excellent service. read more

We moved away from the area and returned for a recent visit. One of our must stops was Sals. We had been going to the original in Foothill Ranch, and we are happy to see they have expanded. You can get Sicilian sliced square pizza or traditional pizza by the slice. We stopped in for Two for Tuesday. We took a variety of slices home. My husband is a big fan of the white pizza and I the traditional grandma pizza. The slices were just as we remembered from 4 yrs ago. Fresh tomato sauce and cheese. The pizza is not greasy. The crust is tender and reheats well in toaster oven or in frying pan. Pizza for breakfast was perfect the next day. Don't miss out on this unique pizza you can't get elsewhere. read more

Called to order a pizza around 6 pm today. Was told the food was ready for pick up at 6:30 when I placed the order. so I arrived and they haven't even started making it. And was told it would be probably another 50 mins. The two front workers looked scared to talk to the line of door dash people waiting to take their orders. I understand it can get busy but to be off by the estimated time by this much is wild. Let me just stand here for 50 mins and twirl my thumb. I could have left an hour later and still would have had to wait. The quality of food isn't bad but the service makes me never want to come back. read more

My family decided to celebrate Mother's Day early with a pizza from Sal's. My family was tired from visiting the zoo all day and I was tired from my busy day at work, so we ordered for delivery. I thought I've never heard of this place but it's the pizza spot at the Kaleidoscope center! We decided to order a margarita pizza with garlic bread and my mom and dad split an order of meatballs. It took about an hour for it to deliver which made sense with the distance and the amount of time to make the pizza. When it came my family was ready to eat it. I've had my fair share of margarita pizza and this one was good. I didn't try the meatballs but my parents both seemed to really enjoy them. Overall wasn't expecting my mom to pick pizza for her early Mother's Day dinner and it turned out great! read more

The plaza is pretty dead. We just got massages and really starved. This was quick and the only place that really had human life. The pizza did not disappoint. The crust was good. You heard that right. The garlic knots were tasty and so was the marinara it came with. Would I drive all the way to Mission Viejo for it? Probably not but, if I'm at Burke Williams again, I'll grab a slice. read more

Ordered delivery from Uber Eats and tried Sals for the first time because of the good reviews. I can see what the hype is for now... this was some of the best pizza I've had in a while! I would prefer getting Sals pizza delivered over any of the other local pizza spots we normally get. The pizza tasted fresh and had quality toppings. There was a decent amount of pepperonis in every bite. They definitely don't skip on the toppings which is nice. Even better the pizza tasted just as fresh the next day! I just threw it in the air fryer for about 7 minutes at 350 and it was just as enjoyable the next day! Highly recommend! read more

Specialties

Previously NY Upper Crust Pizza, under NEW ownership. Introducing Sal's Pizzeria serving the best Grandma Pie in Southern California. Sal has been making this relatively unknown Grandma Pie since the 1950s and has perfected his recipe. New Yorkers have been eating grandma pie for many years and only have a handful of restaurants serving the grandma pizza. So, we are so excited to bring it to Southern California and to share this epic pizza experience with you!

History

Established in 2019.

Sal's Pizzeria is named after my father-in-law Sal. Born in Alcamo, Sicily in 1941 Sal grew up into a generation of Cheese makers. At 8 years old Sal was delivering Italian food products out of the back of a horse and buggy that his father drove. Sal's father was a cheese maker and brought the family to America in 1951 to start Collica Dairy. Collica Dairy transitioned into Collica Quality Foods where Sal has been distributing the best Italian food products for over 50 years. Sal would always make pizza for the family that was the best pizza I've ever tasted. Being from New York I was always very picky when it came to good pizza. I would ONLY eat Sal's pizza here in California. Unfortunately Sal would only make pizza for family occasions, so I had an idea. Why not open a pizzeria just so I can have Sal's pizza whenever I want! So Sal's Pizzeria was born out of my love for Sal and his pizza. We hope you enjoy it too! -Matthew Darienzo

We were happily greeted by our server Gianna and the Bartender, both smiled and welcomed us. The food came quickly and at perfect temperatures. We discovered 'happy hour' while there and ordered from that menu since we like to share small plates. This happy hour is one of the best values in the Laguna Niguel area! The QUALITY of this food sets them apart from others! The restaurant itself is small and intimate with music on certain nights. We arrived at 4:15 so there were 4 people at the bar, and tables were open. We ordered a caesar salad, the calamari, and Pappardelle Bolognese, plus my hubbies favorite the famous 'giant' meatball starter topped with marinara and burrata, served in an all-clad skillet. The Caesar salad was just enough for my husband and was served cold with crisp romaine lettuce, fried capers, buttery croutons but it was the dressing that was really delicious! It was perfectly balanced, and we could actually taste the anchovies! Yum. That house-made huge meatball I mentioned is a blend of beef, pork, and veal, and one of the best meatballs in the area (and beyond), no exaggeration! As an Italian Nonna, I've been making meatballs for decades and this recipe is legit. The pappardelle is house-made by a friend of the owner. He spends time in his kitchen and you can absolutely taste it with every bite! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the bolognese was delightful, I could taste the richness and depth of flavors with a hint of wine. Yum. The calamari was perfect! I wonder if they soak the squid before breading them because it's so tender even the tentacles (which are my favorite part ) melt in your mouth! The batter is tasty and the breading had the perfect balance of spices that blended together nicely and it was served with a side of marinara and lemon wedges (the later is my preference.) The butter cake is house-made by the owner and decadently delicious, sooo yummy. We brought it home but ate the delicious ice cream on the side. This is a great little neighborhood ristorante and a favorite of many! It's a great place to eat 'alfresco' on the outdoor patio, or listen to music on Friday or Saturday night. Make a reservation as it not a large place. Buon appetito!

We arrived at 5:00pm on a Friday and we were seated on the patio/outdoor area. Restaurant was…read moremostly empty. There seemed to be enough people working but for whatever reason the service was incredibly slow. Our server would approach one table, then disappear, then return with one item. Them repeat. It was so bad I had to go inside and see what was going on. (20 min after receiving a drink) There were plenty of employees- mostly they were standing around. Our server was very nice- and the food was great, but management needs to figure out a system for serving that avoids 20 minutes delays before ordering. Our server was serving tables in and out of the restaurant and having a hard time at that. Finished our drinks before we were able to get her attention to order our dinner.

House Salad. The pile of mozzarella cheese and roasted red bell peppers are amazing!

Cicero's Pizzeria

Honestly, this is a painful review to write. We live practically around the corner, and Cicero's…read morehas been our go-to pizza place for years. Their pizza is pretty good, taste-wise. But sadly... They seem to be terrible at actually providing what was ordered. Tonight we ordered three pizzas and two were completely wrong. This seems to have been getting worse over time. One of our common pizzas we prefer to have jalapeno on half of the pizza due to differing heat tolerance in the family. We explicitly called this out while ordering and got jalapeno across the entire pizza multiple times. Ok, I guess we can deal--those with lesser heat tolerance can just pick it off. We've called in the past and the customer service has been apologetic and in one case offered a credit for a future order. Tonight, we had two completely wrong pizzas: 1. Pepperoni, mushroom, red onion, artichoke. Well, we got sausage, red onion, and artichoke. Two of four toppings were correct, one was swapped, and one completely missing. 2. Sausage and mushroom. Well, we got a mushroom pizza. No sausage to be found. When calling, the person answering the phone was completely dismissive. He read off the order [showing that what Grubhub transmitted to them was correct] and didn't care that what they delivered was flat out wrong. And then said that if we wanted anything done, to take it up with Grubhub. A combination of incompetence and poor customer service is not great. It has us thinking that we need to find a new local pizza joint. Which is terrible because the pizza is pretty good. But if they can't deliver what we order, then we never know what's coming. And in a house with some food allergies, we want to know that what we order will be correct. This has been our local trusted pizza joint for almost a decade. But it seems that it's going downhill, and that is truly sad.

Just great. Light and refreshing. Stingray: Pepperoni, honey, caramelized onions - more complex flavor. Nice change from Bee Sting. Vampire: heavy on the garlic smell. Not overly garlic on the taste - which makes it more enjoyable. I would go without the salami next time. Zucchini chips: unlike any preparation I have had. Very thinly sliced zucchini fried in canola and olive oil. It almost melts in your hands. This place is a well oiled machine. Plenty of TVs. Outdoor seating. Employees always on the move to support the team. Parking is easy on the street on in the lot right behind the restaurant.

I usually don't get to go to places…read morelike this very often because literally only three out of six people in the family like to eat dumplings or anything dim sum. Bummer. I know! I'm usually always outvoted when it comes to figuring out where to eat. Seven Folding Dumpling House, is on Marguerite Parkway and Avery, in our gorgeous city of Mission Viejo. Walking up to the restaurant you'll find a good amount of parking right on the lot. They have about 3-4 tables outside that I *think you can use for dining. Inside is a pretty ample sized dining room with plenty of tables. Restrooms are also clean and can be found straight to the back of the building. We were immediately seated. The service was very friendly and attentive throughout our experience. --What we ordered-- 1) Xao long bao (pork) $13.77 - 5/5. Steaming hot, juicy and very flavorful. 2) Fish roe shrimp & pork shumai $8.77 - 5/5. Plump and delicious. 3) wonton soup (pork) $12.77 - 3/5. The wontons were good and we really enjoyed this, however, the broth was unfortunately bland. 4) Green bean with garlic $15.77 - 5/5. Well seasoned and perfectly cooked. There were a couple longer pieces where I wish they would've ripped the seam of the green beans off because it got stuck when I tried to swallow it...twice. 5) Pork & shrimp dumplings (pan-fried) $13.77 extra &1 for pan-fry - 5/5. Crispy and tasty. 6) Cucumber salad $5.77 - 5/5. I normally don't order these because serving sizes for the price are expensive. This was so fresh you could taste it. The sauce was so good. I could eat this all by itself all day everyday. The portion size was really good. Overall we were highly satisfied with everything from the restaurant space, cleanliness, service, and the food. Definitely 5/5 for this family. So happy to have more and more Asian restaurants closer to home.

We were initially drawn to Domenicos because of the stunning views of lake Mission Viejo. We had the option of sitting inside, near the bar or outside on the patio. We chose to sit outside on the patio and got seated right as the sun was going down. They were nice enough to offer us blankets since it was getting chilly. We ordered the Chicken Alfredo Pizza and the Chicken Basil Cream Pasta. To start, the pizza was truly phenomenal. There was plenty of chicken to compliment the creaminess of the Alfredo sauce along with the dough itself. We ordered a medium pizza and it was more than enough to feed two of us. The Chicken Basil Cream Pasta was also rich and full of flavor. The serving portion was large, and we were also given Parmesan to complement the dish. Overall, the dish was enjoyable. For being a last minute pick, Domenicos on the Lake exceeded our expectations and proved to be a standout Italian restaurant in Mission Viejo.

They forgot to add the sauce and the fish was dry. That would have been fixable but our server never came back to the table to check on us and we had to find someone to help us. They brought us some sauce to pour over what was cold fish by then. We had several good meals on our prior visits so chalk it up to one bad night. Last night we went back after quite a while. Three out of the four of us had terrible meals. Two of us were planning on ordering the salmon salad but decided not to as the salmon was farmed not wild. We pivoted to the eggplant parm. It was a mistake. It was honestly the worst eggplant parm we've ever had. It was more crust than eggplant and so dry. The pasta that came with it had almost no sauce and was also dry. We asked the server to bring us some marinara sauce. The third person was also not happy with their meal. The three of us should have sent our meals back. Our server was lovely and attentive and the atmosphere was great but I think after two bad food experiences we won't be going back.
