Food was delicious as always! Wait was maybe 5 minutes if that on a Saturday evening. Our waitress was good at the beginning but toward the end she disappeared for a while. We had to get a different waitress to bring out our bill and boxes to take the rest of our pizza.

Biggest pizza I’ve ever seen! They have a tray in a nearby room to show just how massive it really is. No joke — you’d need a group of 20 plus to finish it. I didn’t go that big though 😅 Instead, we ordered two pizzas and 12 wings. The Sweet Memphis BBQ was super tasty, and the brisket pizza is a must-try. Our waitress was awesome and the service was excellent. Next time, I might just go for that 42-inch pie 😉

Great food! I've been wanting to come here for around 8 years since I first saw them on the food channel. 100% worth the 2-3 hour drive! My only regret is that it took so long for me to get here.

Big Lou's is known for their amazingly large pizzas! I believe their biggest is 42" round?? It will feed a large amount of people and you'll still awkwardly take some back home! I've been many times and have never felt disappointed by their food. Side salads are ice-cold, fresh, and delicious. Their pizza is good, a little greasy, as to be expected, but good flavor and quality of ingredients with a lot of variety if you like a more flavorful pizza. Is it the best pizza you'll ever have, NO... and not to be harsh on them, but it's just not a brilliant and creative pizza, which to some people might be a good thing, but to me, it's just good without hitting that status of "Great". I still go here often, and honestly, possibly the most under-appreciated item on the menu, is their Pizza Wraps!! They are beyond delightful and an order has three which is just enough for a lunch hour meal if you're in the area. This place has some quirks and isn't here to give you the best meal you'll ever experience. Service is typically good but don't expect to be pampered. They're known for their incredibly large pizzas and simply being there when they bring one out to a table, even if it's not your own table, is an experience worth the trip. If you can assemble a large group of people, the value and size of the meal becomes reasonable and a memory you'll share for a lifetime. Kids are absolutely fascinated by these things, and rightfully so! Images are of a 37" pizza and an order of pizza wraps as takeout. As their motto states, "We don't do average, we do BIG!"

This pizza was so good! Hot and a light crisp. Perfectly cooked. Fresh, good ingredients clearly. Sad they aren't open on Monday but that's my only complaint!

This is my first time at Big Lou’s Pizza. We went here to celebrate my brother’s birthday and it well be one of our future go-to spots for family celebrations! Our server, Nate, was outstanding—he even joined in singing Happy Birthday with us, which made the occasion extra special. Everything came out perfect, and the food was both delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend for anyone dining with a large group!

Big Lous is our favorite place to celebrate as a family. Zach our server was fantastic even though as a group we were a lot. He didn't get anything wrong! The food is always so delicious and filling. Would recommend for any large group!

Arrived right before happy hour to a chill atmosphere and great food. One server was attending three other tables but she did a great job on service. Must recommend!

If you’re looking for pizza with serious wow factor, Big Lou’s Pizza delivers — literally and figuratively. Known for their massive pies, including the legendary 42” and jaw-dropping 64” pizzas, this San Antonio staple is a must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavors and Texas-sized portions. The dough was a standout — perfectly chewy with just the right amount of crispness on the crust, acting as the ideal base for their well-balanced sauce and generous toppings. Every bite packed great flavor, clearly crafted with attention to quality and consistency. The wings were another highlight: seasoned to perfection with a savory kick, crispy on the outside and juicy inside. Big Lou’s is perfect for large parties or family outings. The vibe is casual and relaxed, though it gets busy fast. Expect a wait during peak hours, with noise levels rising as the restaurant fills up — nothing overwhelming, but definitely lively. Fortunately, there’s ample seating both indoors and outdoors, so even big groups can usually find a comfortable spot. Whether you’re there to conquer the giant pizza or just enjoy some seriously good eats with friends, Big Lou’s Pizza offers a fun, filling, and flavorful experience worth repeating.

I had the custom garden salad and it was delicious 😋 It definitely can feed about 2-3 people. It had everything I wanted in a salad. I sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly, attentive and polite. I spent $30 +$10 for a tip, however I also had a drink. 🤔 I forgot what it was called, but it consisted of Cherries and Vodka frozen😋😋😋😋

Overall great place for a Going Away lunch for a coworker. Plenty of space, friendly energy, great service. Attentative staff. Of course large parties are more difficult to manage for some, however overall friendly staff. Did have to wait a while for drinks and refills, but understandable for large parties. Their large pizza was a show stopper. We were able to split it and take some home.

The pizza was huge and delicious. We got the 37" for 2 adults and 4 kids and could only eat half of it. It would have been nice to know ahead of time that just a regular cup of water is $1.00. When I asked why, I was told it was because of the special Styrofoam cups that it came in.

Got seated right away. Food took a lil long but worth the wait. The lemon pepper wings where the best part. Sitting area is a lil on the dark side. Didn't try the desserts buy they looked good.

Joseph Ramirez

The food was good. The pizza was huge!! The baked wings are always delcious. Perfectly cooked and crispy. I feel that the pizza itself was enough for at least 10 people being a 42-inch $100 pizza. We eat were only able to eat once slice. The spaghetti was delcious. The meatballs in it were juicy and full of flavor. We had a great time and always love coming here when we are in town.

We went on Sunday afternoon. It didnt seem too busy but we waited quite a long time for our pizza and wings. The 20" pepperoni pizza took about 35 minutes. The 12 wings came about 45 minutes after the pizza. I am not sure what was going on this day but it was not like the first time we went.

TL;DR: I organized a 20-person event around the largest pizza in San Antonio, confirmed it multiple times, and paid a deposit. When we arrived, the pizza was never made, staff seemed confused, no manager apologized or explained what happened, and we were later offered someone else’s pizza after we had already made alternative plans. The lack of communication and planning left me spending far more than planned and feeling disappointed and embarrassed. I run a Facebook group focused on making friends in San Antonio, and we were all really excited to meet for food. Someone suggested trying the largest pizza in San Antonio, which sounded like a fun, memorable idea. I called on Sunday to ask for details and was quoted an estimate. I was told the pizza would serve 30–35 people. I called again on Tuesday to confirm everything and book space for 20 people. I paid a $50 deposit and clearly explained that this was a “making friends” event and that we’d like an area where people could move around and socialize. We were excited to eat the largest pizza in SATX. I was assured this wouldn’t be a problem. On the day of the event, I called again at 1:50 PM to reconfirm, Virginia, 20 people, largest pizza at 6:30 PM. Everything was confirmed. When I arrived about 10 minutes early to set up name tags, the host seemed confused and disappeared for several minutes. Eventually, we were seated in a cramped area. While it technically fit 20 people, we had to pull tables ourselves due to a lack of seating, and there was no room to move or socialize beyond the person next to you. The biggest issue came when I asked about the pizza. The host looked completely confused, and it became clear that the “largest pizza” was never going to be made at all. This was the main reason our group chose this location, and I had to announce to everyone that it wasn’t happening. No apology was offered from a manager or explanation of what may had happen After some time, once everyone had come to terms with what had happened, we decided to request that we be moved to an outside area that we had originally discussed. At that point, we were offered someone else’s largest pizza instead. By then, this felt wrong and honestly exhausting. We had already gone through the effort of explaining the situation to our group and coming up with alternative plans, so this offer only added to the frustration. I eventually asked to speak to a manager just to communicate my concerns, but it was unclear who was actually in charge. Multiple employees jumped in, which added to the confusion Once we were moved and assigned a server, Tristan was fantastic. Despite everything, our group still managed to have a good time—but only because of the people and the excellent service from our server, not because of the planning or communication from management or the other service we were provided before Tristan. I understand miscommunications happen, but I did everything in my power to ensure this event ran smoothly. In the end, I spent significantly more than planned and left feeling disappointed and embarrassed. I truly wanted this to be a great experience, but unfortunately, it was not.

The pizza is really good actually. We have been there 2 times recently. One time was for my father’s 95th bday. I called ahead, i ensured to the best of my ability that this is a big deal, he choose this restaurant for his 95th bday and not one recognition. I even reminded them when we got there. It was not busy at that time. It was disappointing! But the pizza is good. We went there a second time a week ago for my son’s bday. The pizza was great! However the issue which several people remarked on is the offensive body bag decor wall hanging on the back wall in the FAMILY dining area. My kids birthday party pictures have that as his background. Will not return.
