Chicago Style Pizza

Pizza is Chicago style, so it has a thicker dough and is delicious. Garlic knots are cooked perfectly and rolls are perfectly even food to dough ratio. But the best thing about this place is the pasta dishes and the sandwiches!! I definitely recommend going.

It's probably the best pizza on SI. The crust is always perfectly crispy and not burnt. The owner and his employees are always friendly

Quite lil place great folks. Been coming for about a year with my community kids they always do right by us. I came in after a month away and forget the daily special but Big Al told the girls give it to him he’s a regular with the kids. This why we will be customers for life great guy. Thx big Al

Ordered the family deal on Saturday for 35.00 and it was absolutely delicious. We are a family of four and it was perfect for us. You get a tray of pasta, an entree tray, a tray of salad, a full loaf of garlic bread and a 2 liter of soda. Unbelievable value for the current times that we live in. They also threw in a couple dessert pastries on the arm which was a nice treat 👍🏻. We will definitely be returning to Big Al’s in the future. One more thing I forgot to mention is that they packed everything wonderfully for the ride home with everything tight and secure. Just a great overall experience for our 1st order and looking forward to many more

Ordered a chicken roll without cheese and asked for peppers and onions instead, roll was large and delicious. Ordered spinach roll with small amount of cheese was great and good size. I have ordered specials from them and have not been disappointed. All the girls behind the counter are very nice.

Love this place. Been a customer for many years. Excellent Sicilian pizza. The jalapeño and onion pizza is delicious. Excellent rice balls and specialty rolls.

I wasn't wild about this pizza. I think it's just not my style. It's a thicker pie. The cheese was so, so. Crust was decent. This is all in regards to the regular pie. Didn't have the deep dish.

I specifically chose “18 inch” pizza which was 4$ extra than standard large pizza. They sent an 18 inch box with a tiny 15 inch pizza inside. The toppings were good but the crust was tough and hard to bite. We just took the toppings off. The calamari was rings only (just incase that matters to you) and the breading was all over the pan separate from the calamari ring. They’ve been in business forever I’m shocked by how they messed up such basic things. I used slice app bc they prefer we use that app— then they refused to refund me the 4$ for the 18 inch upsize I didn’t receive despite a phone call to them from slice. They obviously don’t care about their customers. The food was made with no love or care.

The place is old and looks dirty. I ordered the 4 heroes for $25 and it was all bread. The eggplant parm hero had very little cheese and 2 slices of eggplant. Do not recommend

Unfortunately they don't stop texting you. I never told them I was open to texting,but why do they care. I picked up pizza maybe 1 time 3 years ago,and I can't escape them. Good luck if you give them your phone number or credit card info

I’ve ordered from here bc it’s close to my job and the food was always lacking. Either tasted bad AND small portions or wrong toppings AND tough crust. Then one night I went inside and it’s absolutely disgusting.

What happened to this place been going there over thirty years. Terrible food they dont go by what they advertise on their website called up owner he has got an attitude dose not care about customers never ordering from this place again.

I ordered a special of chicken parm and baked ziti along with a chicken Caesar wrap. I did not receive my chicken Caesar wrap at all. The chicken parm in the tray was about half empty. Might as well put it in a small tray. I’m really pissed off about the Caesar wrap not being delivered. I only found out the next day because my husband unpacked everything the night before and had no idea what I ordered

Placed an online order at 4:45pm. Called at 6pm and was told computers are down. No problem I understand these things happen. Asked if I still wanted the order and I said yes. Called a few minutes after 7pm and was told the delivery is out. Ok no problem. Driver then calls me at 715pm to confirm the delivery because he saw it was placed at 445pm and thought it was a mistake. Driver shows up at 745pm. I asked how much and it was the same total. I tipped the driver and told him to return the order. Not because I wasn't starving but just for the fact that the establishment did nothing to rectify the order. 3 hours for a salad is absurd. The driver then had the nerve to ask him why I told him to come. This is after I tipped him cause it wasn't his mistake.This is completely unacceptable especially for being a consistent customer who orders multiple times a week. And no call from them to ask what happened. Sorry but you lost a good customer.

Salad pizza always comes with sauce on the side Ordered from them for 16 years they’ve been decent until now I get salad pie from them they forget the dressing I call and tell them what happened and they hung up I call back ask for manager they say there’s nothing they can do at all 16 years and this is my last time! On god!

How often do you give people food poison? I ate there for the first and last time Tuesday. 20 minutes after eating their pizza I was stuck I'm the bathroom with the runs and vomit. Had to travel back to Harlem feeling that way and I've been stuck in bed since. Lost 3 days of work and lots of money on pills just to help me cope. I definitely do not recommend this place to anyone but the HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
