Sal's Pizzeria Mission Viejo Reviews
The Kaleidoscope is coming to life. Stopped here for a supercharge and grabbed a cheese slice from Sal’s while I waited, $4.50. Pizza was good, NY style. Nice ambience sitting outside. And apparently if you go to the movies at the Edward’s Cinema next door, you can bring in food from Sal’s. Escalators in the kaleidoscope are still “under repair” / inoperable. There is a restroom and it’s decent.
Quite possibly the best pizza in South OC. The crust is delectible, thin but not too thin, and crisp. $10 for two slices and a drink, honestly could feed two people. Compare to a big mac combo for $12.39, this is a no-brainer. Seating can be limited at times.
Was a lucky find when we went to the movies at Edwards Theaters. An authentic pizza restaurant with a true Italian heritage. And the pizza is great. We will be back to try the Italian sandwiches. The place was crowded with take out orders and a few dine in customers. We enjoyed the vegetarian pizza. Great thin crust with a good crunch and clean toppings. Perfect for a good meal and a movie or vise versa. And to note, the family staff have Italian accents. How is that for and true Italian mom and pops eatery.
Good slices. I do miss the Tustin location. Not sure why, but I felt the crust was a but chewier there.
It was so great to run in here for a quick slice of pizza right before a movie was starting. This pizzeria is next-door to the kaleidoscope regal movie theaters. At the Greek pizza which I loved in my husband’s favorite with pepperoni and sausage. I also really like to the barbecue chicken pizza that we got. Highly recommend it
The grandma pizza has been a great addition to the local pizza scene. Sal's thin crust is fantastic, don't get me wrong. You should definitely try Sal's just for the thin crust but the Grandma's is really nice. I highly suggest ordering one as recommended on the menu for the experience. We have recently ordered it with pepperoni and found it excellent. Both ways are worth the price.
Sal's Pizzeria was fantastic. All the staff was friendly and got my order ready to go quickly and the food tasted fresh as well as the hot marinara dipping sauce with the garlic knots. Great Sicilian slice as well.
Authentic New York pizza ova here!! Definitely stacks up against the hyped up LA spots. I recommend the grandma cheese slice and the regular cheese slice. The pepperoni and Italian sausage is also recommended by the staff. IG:. Kay_okay_eat
Delicious combo Pepp/Saus slice🍕, & excellent Meatballs with Garlic Toast. Perfect for an endorphin boost while waiting for the movie start time next door here in the Kaleidoscope Mall, and avoiding the Friday afternoon traffic home. 🎬Movie Night, Baby!🥰
Probably the best slice in OC. Their Grandma Pie is phenomenal, I always get it well done so they cheese forms a nice crust and finish it with Hot Honey and parmesan. Very friendly service and good prices for the quality of food you get.
Finally, some authentic NY style in the OC! Grab the $10 2 slices and drink deal M-F! Been looking for a place like this since I moved here. Well worth the 11 mile bike trip.
The Hawaiian pizza is sooo good here . The pepperoni and cheese pizza are also delicious, the sauce is perfect ! However the fettuccine Alfredo was not that good, it was way to creamy and thick , I won’t be ordering that again . I will be returning for some more pizza slices and salad:) .

I have enjoyed pizza all over North America, as well as in Rome, Venice, and Naples. San Francisco's Golden Boy Pizza is the best pizza in this hemisphere. Not foo far behind Golden Boy's Sicicilian-style slices is the "Grandma" pizza at Sal's. I cannot pinpoint what in particular elevates this pizza's flavor over Sal's standard hand tossed pizzas, but the grandma is one of those vaunted food items that I always think about when I am hungry. This is a fairly impressive feat for a chain of any size.
We ordered takeout. The nonnas pizza was delicious. The crust was crispy and was perfectly done. The garden salad was also good. The kids found the Alfredo pasta very garlicky. We will certainly order pizza from here again

I was dismantling my old bed to make way for a new one and I realized I hadn’t eaten all day. It was like 330 in the afternoon. I started my online search and up came Sals Pizza. I was immediately intrigued by the Grandma pizza and the Sicilian style pizzas. I ordered a large Sicilian land a 2 liter of Coke. It was a little pricey with the delivery it was way more CV than I’m used to paying for a pizza. I recommend picking it up if you can. Saves a lot of money. The pizza arrived and I’m not sure if I was just some starved but this was the best pizza I have ever had in Orange County. I’ve had the pizza in Chicago and it compared. I was blown away. I’m a pizza lover and this was Nirvana plain and simple. That’s if that’s my review. Go there the pizza is off the charts.
Very good pizzeria! In my opinion, this place and the movie theater are the ONLY reasons to go to the kaleidoscope nowadays. The pizza and toppings are very high quality food and the portion sizes are great with great prices! Also, get the garlic knots. They are so good!
Ordered this for in DoorDash. Prompt and quick preparation and delivery. Food was well prepared and plentiful. The Italian Cold Sub was beautiful, but seemed to need a little something else to push it to extraordinary. The pizza was hot and fresh and well prepared, with a dough taste and texture that is very similar to a Papa John’s (one of my favorite chain store pizza doughs). Garlic knots and pinwheels were good and the kids liked them.

Nice place. Thought the pizza sauce was a bit too sweet for me. Everyone else liked.
The crust did not hold up and was very soggy. Got half the works and other half Hawaiian as well as a Brooklyn cheese. Crust was basic with no flavor. Was hoping for thin crispy crust since other reviews stated this was good NY style pizza.

Delicious pizza but poor customer service I went this branch 2 night ago with my family and I ordered 1 big pizza. The lady who took my order, place 3 drink order by mistake instead of 2 drink that I told her and later I asked her 2 times for refunding 1 drink but she didn't care about it. $2.5 for a drink is nothing for everyone but this is bad that they don't care about you. I never go to that branch again.
Ordered the small salad FOR HERE and they brought it out to go. Small and sparse. Do not recommend this place at all.
Terrible experience. The cheese pizza dough was awful, and the service was unprofessional. Some staff members made us uncomfortable with their behavior. Definitely not coming back.
After years of coming here, today’s absolutely awful customer service sadly means I won’t be coming back and will be telling everyone I know to avoid this place. I placed an order 5 hours ahead of my schedule pickup time. I arrived on time and they told me it would be at least an hour until my pizza is ready. The staff don’t even seem to care.

Please do not come here I found a cockroach in my lemonade. I tried calling the attention of the server, but he kept passing by my table and ignored us. at first, I thought it was trash. But when I inspected closer I saw it was quite in fact a leg of a bug. not to mention that high school students say hi do not use gloves when they cook in the kitchen. I saw one of them repeatedly adjusting her hair not washing her hands and then continuing to make salads.
