About Sal's Pizzeria

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!

Sal's Pizzeria is a pizza restaurant in Lake Forest, California. It is listed at 26612 Towne Centre Dr F, Lake Forest, CA 92610, which places it among the local businesses of Lake Forest that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Pizza places in the United States run from a counter with two stools and a stack of boxes to a full sit-down pizzeria with a bar, and most neighborhood shops do all three things at once: dine-in, takeout and delivery. Ordering by phone is still common and often faster than an app, and many independents charge less when you call direct because there is no platform fee. Sizes are usually listed in inches (a small around 10", a large 14", an extra-large 16" or more), and a large feeds two to three adults. Slices are sold from a display case at New York-style counters and reheated to order; whole pies take 15-25 minutes at a busy shop. Most spots take cards and mobile pay, though a few older pizzerias remain cash-only, so check the door or the listing before you order.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. Typical hours are 11 am–8 pm. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Sal's Pizzeria at (949) 951-7400; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. Its website is salspizzerias.com, where you may find menus, price lists or booking options.

**Sharing My Experience from January 3rd; I’m just now getting around to sharing it, haha! Thank you to Joseph for helping me the LAST SLICE of Brooklyn Cheese on this Saturday that I came in! It was cheesy, saucy and the crust was crusting! Haha it was delicious and I’m glad I came! Thank you also for your kindness and quick service, Joseph! Thank you also to Brendan for helping me with my pickup order and for getting my Brooklyn Slice out of the oven for me just in time! Brendan was so kind and helpful and accommodating! I asked if I could get 7 Parmesan cheese for my Spaghetti order and he ended up blessing me with 9 instead! Thank you so much! It made my Spaghetti taste that much better! I had to give a 5/5 rating to Sal’s Pizzeria for my entire experience! It’s one of my favorite Italian Restaurants in the area and I look forward to coming back again soon! Visit Date: 3/14/2026 I came in to visit for a Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and was greeted by Joshua. I noticed immediately that he was working EXTREMELY HARD!! He kept moving, he kept his eye on the food as it was cooking and he was trying really hard to bring satisfaction to his customers. He mentioned he’s only been w

Visited today and had a slice of Brooklyn Cheese while waiting for my cheese pizza for take out. The last Brooklyn pizza I had was greater than 50 years ago. I also miss the pizzas from the Boston area, Regina's and Santarpio's. Sal's was fabulous in taste and texture and certainly can stand shoulder to shoulder with the best.

Delicious pizza with authentic flavor and a perfect crust! The ingredients taste fresh, and every bite feels homemade. The staff is friendly, service is quick, and the place has a cozy, welcoming vibe. Definitely one of the best pizza spots in the areaβ€”highly recommend the Grandma Pie and classic pepperoni slice!

I heard about Sal's Pizzeria through TikTok and wanted to give it a try since I live near by. The pizza tasted just as great as it looked like on the videos. Everyone was super nice while taking my order and brought me my order since I ordered it to eat there. The crispness of the pizza was awesome! I always like to support the family run restaurants in my area and I believe I just found my go to pizza place. Thanks for the amazing Pizza!
