Family-friendly, spacious, and stunning, our luxurious home rentals are just steps from one of Alabama’s most impressive stretches of sand – Orange Beach. Known for stunning shores with sparkling white, placid turquoise waters and loads of fun activities—notably without the “Spring Break-Style” crowds that many Gulf Coast beaches harbor.
While the beach’s namesake orange, satsuma, and grapefruit trees didn’t come to fruition, a diverse range of Orange Beach restaurants, attractions, and sugar-white sand beaches keep the visitors (and locals) coming to the shores. This guide will showcase the flavors of Alabama, cultivating a list of more creatively crafted, often New York-style, specialty pizzas that will fuel you and the whole family for a day exploring the Gulf Coast.
Here are our nine favorite places to grab a slice within Orange Beach and the surrounding area.

- Recommended: The Angry Pig Speciality Pizza with bacon, BBQ sauce, Italian sausage, and jalapenos. Or the Muffaletta Pizza.
This southern pizza chain offers a family-friendly atmosphere for dine-in or carry-out pizza, with a special emphasis on crafting the perfect crust. A poor crust can absolutely ruin a perfectly good pizza pie. Ensuring they make every sauce and crust fresh each day and utilize only high-quality vegetables and meats for the toppings, this pizza place isn’t like your typical chain. Offering chicken wings, subs, and our personal favorite, the Muffaletta sandwich, alongside traditional and non-traditional pizza.

Pizza enthusiasts looking for a thin-crust pizza that’s perfectly crisp will be pleased by Pizza at the Pass. You can order from their hand-molded specialty pizzas or build your own pie with options for Gluten-free crust and vegetarians.
Try the cheesy garlic toast or the baked meatballs alongside a family-sized pizza if you plan on dining in. If you’re not feeling like driving from Orange Beach, Pizza at the Pass is also available for pizza delivery if you order online from Doordash or Uber Eats.

Let’s class up pizza. This is the favorite pizza place when it comes to sit-down dining. It is also one of the best places to eat on the water in Orange Beach. With an ambiance fit for a date night, you can enjoy brick-oven pizza, delicious pasta dishes, and exceptional seafood at their year-round outdoor seating on the patio.
Here, you can take in the airy breeze of the Gulf of Mexico while savoring some authentic Italian pizza and pasta with the whole family. For those not looking to dine in, you can always order some takeaway pies or family-style pasta that serves four people in one of our luxurious beachfront homes.

- Recommended: Pepperoni Log or Pepperoni By-the-Slice
From the red-checkered tablecloths, Pac-Man arcade games, and extra large slices to the unpretentious attitude, Vinny’s will make you feel as though you’ve stepped back into a simpler time. Open every single day from 11 AM to 9 PM, you can always count on Vinny for a delicious slice or an excellent Italian-style sandwich.
Even better, it’s conveniently located right next to the Ferris wheel on the Wharf. Here, you can stick to the classic’s. It doesn’t get better than the tasty pepperoni pizza paired with a frothy Root Beer Float or a draft Yuengling beer for those 21+ guests.
6. Island Time Daquiris and Pizza
- 4830 Wharf Pkwy W G101, Orange Beach, AL

- Recommended Cheesy Bread
What’s a slice of Pizza without a sports bar? If your answer is nothing, then Island Time at the Wharf is just the spot for you. With fruit-forward cocktails, live music, a full bar, and plenty of outdoor seating, this hot spot is just the tropical New Orleans-themed pizza joint you’re looking for. Try the Shrimp Pizza or one of the many flavors of chicken wings available. Old Bay Seasoned is a local favorite.
7. Lauria’s Italian Bar & Bistro
- 25637 Canal Rd, Orange Beach, AL
- facebook.com/LauriasOrangeBeach
- $
- Recommended: Buffalo Chicken flatbread
When it comes to reviews and ratings, we’ve saved the best for last. Lauria’s leaves every single customer writing rave reviews and especially satisfied. Maybe it’s the quaint, homey interior or the attentive service, or maybe the pizza is just that good. While it’s definitely not your typical New York Slice, Lauria’s pizza is excellent for those in search of a more flatbread-style pizza crafted with care.
You can grab a sandwich, a pasta dish, or a decadent slice of homemade cheesecake alongside your pizza as well. Another noteworthy mention of Lauria’s? It also hosts live music. There are actually two different locations right around the corner from one another, so choose the one that best suits you.
