01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled in the heart of Van Nuys, Royal Pizza stands out as a beloved family-owned gem offering an authentic taste of Italian and Middle Eastern-inspired cuisine. Specializing in hearty pizzas alongside flavorful Mediterranean classics, this restaurant brings together the best of both worlds in an inviting, no-frills dining atmosphere where quality and tradition take center stage.

The menu at Royal Pizza is a culinary journey that caters to diverse palates. For pizza enthusiasts, the House Pizzas are a must-try, with crowd favorites like the Armenian Pizza, rich with savory meats and spices, and the Royal Spinach Pizza, a fresh, vibrant option bursting with wholesome greens and mushrooms. Meat lovers will revel in the indulgent Meat Lover's Pizza, while vegetarians can savor the expertly crafted Vegetarian and Greek Vegetarian Pizzas. Each pizza boasts a perfectly crisp crust and is generously topped with fresh, high-quality ingredients that burst with flavor from the very first bite.

Complementing these pies are the hearty Dinner Plates and sandwiches that showcase Middle Eastern influences. The Chicken Shawarma Dinner Plate and the Gyro Dinner Plate are standout dishes that offer tender, spiced meats served alongside vibrant sides, delivering a satisfying and soulful meal. Those craving a handheld delight can choose from a variety of subs, such as the zesty Chicken Shawarma Sub Sandwich, savory Philly Steak Sub Sandwich, or the classic Italian Sub Sandwich. These options highlight the restaurant’s skillful balance of textures and flavors, from crispy, fresh bread to juicy, well-seasoned fillings.

Royal Pizza’s loyal customers often praise not only the exceptional quality of food but also the authenticity and consistency that keep them coming back—some for over two decades. The garlic sauce paired with their pepperoni pizza, for example, is more than a condiment; it’s a signature touch that elevates the dish to a new level of enjoyment. Savoring a slice here feels like a comforting ritual that warms the soul as much as it delights the taste buds.

While the service may feel straightforward, it reflects the genuine, hardworking spirit of a local family business that puts its heart into every dish. Every visit promises fresh, flavorful food crafted with care and served with enough friendliness to invite you back again and again.

If you’re in Van Nuys craving a meal that delivers both rich Italian pizza tradition and authentic Middle Eastern flavors, Royal Pizza is a destination that won’t disappoint. Whether dining in, picking up your favorite pie, or indulging in their robust dinner plates, expect a memorable feast of vibrant tastes and comforting familiarity.

I think it’s not a joke when I say that I’ve been coming here for at least 20 years. Their pepperoni pizza is my favorite specially when you add the garlic sauce Are the people at the counter the most friendliest? Not really. But as a loyal customer, I can tell you that for the quality of food they serve and the decent prices… You don’t really care that they don’t smile much.

Such a great family-owned business! The owner VIC is a very generous person, and they make the best pizza I’ve ever had. I drive more than 10 miles twice a week just to pick up their pizza. Love this place!”

Wow. Let's start with the Greek salad. Perfect amount of everything. It was so good. Dressing was delicious. It tasted very fresh. Couldn't stop eating it!! Then the wings. Best wings I've had in the valley. Not fatty. Not greasy. Not too much breading. So yummy!!! And then the pizza. I got spinach, chicken, and mushrooms.. this place is amazing.

I just want to say thank you. The quality of the ingredients — especially the chicken — is so good. It’s very hard to find a place with such fresh, high-quality ingredients. This is a top place to eat. They’ve got pretty much everything, from shawarma to pizza. Also, the bread was so fresh and crispy — I haven’t had food of this quality in a long time. It reminds me of the rare times I cooked for myself.

The food is always delicious and fresh. They're a family run business and they treat you with the kindest hospitality. I reccomend anything on the menu, it's all delicious but our personal favorite is the chicken wings that always perfectly fall off the bone paired with their homemade ranch.
