2009-05-20 16:45:18   So I'm having a couple of cocktails at O'cals last night and realize I need to eat or I'll lose those $5 pitchers. Staggering out the door I see Big Deal Pizza. I got a big slice for $3 and kept 20 bucks of beer down.

I know pizza always tastes good when you're drunk so I went back today for lunch (pregame planning). The pizza was as good as I remembered it. I got the Buffalo Chicken. The crust was fresh. A little crunchy on the bottom, but not paper thin or burnt. The sauce was flavorful, but not over powering and there was plenty of cheese and chicken.

The guys working all seemed to be having fun and like each other. They were friendly without being annoying.

They're open until 4:00 am on Friday and Saturday.

I'll be back. —HappyDrunk

I had a slice of pizza and a dozen wings. The pizza was great and fairly large for 3 bucks. Wings were done perfectly, good sized wings, and they scored big points with me when they asked if I wanted the wings regular or crispy.

The place is extremely clean and has a bakery. There's only a few places to sit and eat, and no tables (only stools and counter tops).

This is my new favortie pizza place. —Logan100

2009-08-13 10:02:28   I agree with Logan100; we got a flyer in the mail with coupons for this place, and we decided to try the large cheese pizza with 20 mild wings. The pizza was just the way I like it, properly cooked all the way through, no grease on the bottom of the crust, which was nice and dry (but not crispy; this is not thin crust pizza, which I do also like), and a nice general thickness to the whole thing. The edges were not huge like some pizzerias, so they didn't skimp on the topping, like some places do. I think this pizza is a lot better than Papajohn's. The wings also were cooked all the way through, delicious, and actually more zippy than I expected (but that was ok as I like hot and was merely trying to accommodate a wimpy friend sharing the meal). I'll definitely be buying from them again! And the delivery guy was really nice, so I felt good about tipping him on top of the delivery charge. —KatieSchmitz

2009-10-14 14:14:37   I ordered a calzone from Big Deal for lunch today. While the $2.50 delivery charge was unexpected and seemed a bit excessive (I only live 4 blocks away from the place), the calzone was excellent and HUGE. It's easily 2 meals, possibly 3. I think it's the biggest calzone I've ever attempted to eat.

One other minor gripe is that their selection of toppings isn't great. No spinach or artichokes? Still, I definitely prefer Big Deal to most other pizza shops in the Monroe Ave area. . . perhaps with the exception of Acme. —GrahamSaathoff

2009-10-26 13:32:42   On Friday night 4 friends and decided to get BIG DEAL garbage plates, result of garbage plate = food poisoning. This place shouldn't leave their mac salad out all day, and expect for the mayonnaise to not go bad, we all were vomiting uncontrollably and one friend even defecated themselves. by far the worst experience ever! The people who run this place are ASSHATS. —NipsyRussell
