Big Deal Pizza

Big Deal Pizza just opened up this week on Monroe Ave, near Meigs. Their number is 697-2491.

The crust was medium-thin and chewy, which I like (the Boy is strictly Team Crispy). The sauce was a little too sweet for both of us, particularly when it was in clumps at the top of the crust with nothing else to even it out. Maybe a bit too cheesy. But the toppings were phenomenal -- really fresh veggies and perfectly cooked bacon for ours. Sidenote: we were told we were the first to order broccoli, red pepper and bacon. Score!

The service was excellent -- very friendly and ready right on time. All the young guys running the place seem very interested in making return customers.

I've forgotten to bring the menu with me to give you guys the scoop, but they have a pretty extensive menu. They make subs in house, have calzones and pasta, serve Big Slices, and even have a bakery section. The bakery has mini cannoli (so hard to resist!), cupcakes, cream puffs, and cookies. Our large pizza was around $20, so maybe the prices are a bit high, but we did get three toppings.

BD is currently cash only (with an ATM across the street at Nick's Market), but they are setting up the line for credit card transactions ASAP.
