I visited Big Lou’s just for the novelty of having a 42″ Pizza.  That thing was insanely huge.  It fed 14 of us very well.

The pizza weighs something like 35 pounds depending on toppings.  Insane!  The slices were enormous.  A single slice was the length of my arm from elbow to finger tip!

In any case, I’ve had better pizza in San Antonio.  I like Central Park Pizza and Pizzabella substantially more.  But, the pizza was decent.  I thought it was going to be bad because of the gimmicky gigantic sizes.

I’m not sure I would go again any time soon.  I don’t think I’ll be craving pizza for a while!  hehe  Perhaps if a bunch of friends wanted to go again in the future I might.

After this visit, it’s salad for the rest of the week!

I ordered a freshly made pizza from here and, like I foresaw in my last review, it was a little better than grabbing a slice, that’s been sitting around, at lunch-time.

It was just over $14 for a 14″ two-topping pizza.  14″ is the only size they have and since it IS only 14″ the slices aren’t the HUGE NY style slices you expect from a NY style pizza, though I think the pizza sits between NY Style and a Chicago style thin crust.

I saw the cook roll the dough out, knead it by hand, dress it and pop it in the oven.  The pizza is better than Pizza Hut, Dominos, or any of those corporate places and it’s great cold after a night in the refrigerator.  But, I have experienced better NY style pizza in San Antonio: Pizzabella, it’s just far from downtown.

This lunch-time hot spot is a great place for people to pick up a slice of pizza, salad, and a soda quickly and at a decent price.

There were quite a few business people during the lunch rush, but it didn’t seem to diminish the speed at which the food came out.  The pizzas are already baked and they stick the pizza slice in the oven for a minute or two to heat it up.

They offer a variety of items such as hot subs and pizza rolls.  They also have daily specials like lasagna and spaghetti & meat sauce.

I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza, a small salad, and a soda all for under $6.  The pizza was good, and the ingredients tasted fresh.  It reminded me of a Chicago style thin crust pizza because of the crunch of the crust.  This may have been only due to the reheating; otherwise, it’s really a New York style pizza.

I’m definitely going to order a fresh pizza from there in the near future.  If the reheated slice of pizza was good, I’m certain the full, fresh pizza would be better.
