Best pizza in town can't beat it with price and quality. Big apple is my always go to for pizza

I stopped by for some pizza and ended up sharing a small Margherita pizza with my best friend. It was my first time trying that flavor, and I really enjoyed it(simple, fresh, and flavorful). The place itself is small and cozy, perfect for a casual bite. The person behind the counter was friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall positive experience. I'd definitely go back to try more of their menu! read more

My "go to" Italian Food take out is Big Apple Pizza in Cranford - it's excellent quality and always very prompt. It's more than pizza, they have excellent Italian dinners! I have also gone to Big Apple Pizza in Kenilworth - equally excellent but, I prefer the Cranford location and team! read more

Classic pizza, thin crust- not bad actually. Compared to the rest of the reviews I feel a bit lucky that it wasn't burnt or undercooked. We went to a friends bday party on Sunday and they had 6 pies delivered. Plain, pepperoni and sausage. Pretty good! Not sure about service or cost... read more

I came into Big Apple after taking a yoga class up the street so I had a big appetite! As soon as I walked in I was greeted by their friendly cashier and the inside was very clean. She explained each of the slices they had because they had a good amount of non traditional slices (loved that)! I ordered a regular cheese slice and their cheesesteak slice. It was a reasonable price for sure especially considering how large the cheesesteak slice was. They have me a cute little to go box, which I appreciate over the brown bags so that oil doesn't seep through as I made my commute. Both slices were really good. I'd be curious to see what a fresh slice of their cheesesteak pizza taste like because I'm sure the cheese would be extra gooey. Thanks Big Apple pizza! read more

Big Apple Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

Ordered from Big Apple for the 1st time tonight. You use the online ordering option. Very good Veggie pizza. I also liked it because it was very easy to order exactly what we wanted. You also receive emails when your order was received, that your order is in process and finally when your order is available for pick up. We had the Gourmet Veggie Pie ($17) & a Large Plain Pie ($12.50). The only issue is the parking as there are not many spots available at dinner time on the street. They do have delivery though & coupons on their menus. This place was well staffed with very helpful & friendly staff (unlike other pizza places where they appear to feel "bothered" when you interact with them. Update: (10/21/17) We ordered the gourmet buffalo chicken pie tonight, it definitely has some kick to it but at $23, I think it's way too expensive for what you get. The mushroom pie at $15 is also good and priced appropriately. read more

I love Big Apple! Their pizzas, salads, and subs are very tasty and their quality is consistantly good. Their pizza is better than other places in the area, in my opinion. Big Apple always delivers quickly, and the food is always hot and fresh. Their pan pizzas are my favorite because the crusts are so buttery and thick. They offer whole wheat crust as an option for their gourmet pizzas, which is great for when I'm trying to pretend that pizza is healthy haha. No, but seriously, I've found that most pizza places don't make a whole wheat crust, so this is really nice. They have a pretty impressive menu, which includes a number of Italian entrees. I haven't tried any of them yet, but I plan to! read more

Ordered two pies on a Friday night. Placed around 550 and received an hour later. Pick up was slated at 630. Yes its busy and yes i totally get it and was patient. But.. One pie burned and the other a sauce and cheese mess that was undercooked. If i was made to wait for the pizza it should have been worth it. read more

I used to love big apple but lately they are hit or miss! I ordered a 2 personal pies, a pepperoni calzone, and then called backed a second later and got a different person at the register and added wings and a chicken Cesar salad. She reads back the entire order and it's correct when I get the order there is no chicken on the Cesar, the personal pie crust was paper thin and floppy. It was super light so I assume a few more minutes in the oven would've done it. The calzone was delish but only pepperoni in the center so just inconsistent really more of a tedious pain to eat than anything. What really frustrated me was when I called about the salad being incorrect. I asked if they can send another one correctly and she told me she'd have to charge me the delivery to send out the driver again and she read back the order and it was correct. That may be but it wasn't correct when I received it. Just overall sucky customer service which is what I told them and they hung up on me. If you can eat in I definitely recommend because anything unsatisfactory can be taken care of right there! read more

Got a few slices from here they were not good nor was the guy behind the counter pleasant. Quality could be characterized as typical american junk. read more

I made an order on Friday evening and went to pick up the order after being told 25 minutes and showing up 30 minutes later, then the time changed. The young lady at the counter attempted to help, by finding out the time until the order was ready. Then one of the pizza makers began to scream at her, just for asking a question on the wait time. Then raised his voice at me for simply checking in for the order that was already overdue. This then escalated into a screaming match where he then canceled my order which apparently he hadn't even started. I was a loyal customer ordering multiple times per week, and now see that I need to transition to Vinny's as respect is also important to this patron. read more

Big Apple Pizza - Enough Said.... figure out how to deliver w/o this happening again for anyone. - Pizza Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

I grew up in Central Upstate NY and have been looking for a pie similar to our regular pizzas. Thinner than Sicilian, thicker than regular crust in NJ, made in a pan and not greasy (I know, a lot to ask). I finally found it!! Most NJ pan pizzas, outside of Pizza Hut, seem paper thin and not what I was looking for though tasty. I ordered for the first time (Kenilworth) the Vodka pan pizza and it was so delicious! I see in reviews that many here call it deep dish (different than true crust of a deep dish), but it isn't... The crust and sauce were fantastic. Next time I will add basil or try another. Delivery was less than 1 hr over lunch time. Also felt like it was cooked perfectly for me. read more

We ordered our pizza online around 9:20pm. I got a notification that our food was sent out for delivery around 9:50pm. In the notes, I put the access code for the building so they could get inside. Around 10:30pm we started to wonder what was going on. My girlfriend went to look outside while I tried to call the store (even though now they were closed) and no answer. We both haven't eaten all day and we're worried the driver just went home and never showed up so we ended up walking around the building again before going around the corner to pick up food. We came back within 10 minutes and still, we checked and nobody was around. All the sudden, there was a knock on our door and it happened to be a disrespectful delivery boy who just opened the bag and made me take the food out of the bag for him. We called the store the following morning to complain because the pizza was frozen cold and the other food we got was soggy and clearly was miss treated since it was all fallen apart. I spoke to a completely rude and unprofessional manager who told me it was my fault and that I should be more responsible. This is coming from the guy who didn't even apologize for the mix up and who is representing his bosses business. He then also told me that there are several addresses under my phone number (even though he confirmed delivery to the right address) and that I should stop ordering from so many places. I can't believe he would say something like that because all I'm doing is giving this place business. Safe to say, I'm done ordering here after this. Edit: Also forgot too add that the keypad to get inside the building has a directory with my name (same name on the order) to call my phone in order to buzz someone in. Manager also said: "I don't give a sh*t about your review" so here it is. read more

Great. Wonderful. Try all of them. There is no wrong choices here. The chef is personable and takes pride in his work.

Quality has gone down so much since my original review. Prices have gone up, while timeliness no longer exists. They give me a time to pick up and I always end up having to wait another 10-15 min. I've stopped coming here entirely. read more

DEEP DISH VODKA PIE. Thank me later. - just make sure you are specific in deep dish because sometimes they give you a regular style pie with vodka sauce which is not what you need read more

I've been a loyal customer of Big Apple FOREVER, specifically the Kenilworth location. I moved recently so I started ordering from Cranford because it's closer, but never again! Their customer service is trash. It was a Friday so I completely understand being slammed & my order arriving late. Unfortunately, I did have somewhere to go very soon so I called to try and cancel. They told me the delivery was basically about to be out the door. Ok at this point I'll wait. When the pizza comes, it's completely wrong. Like, literally neither half was correct, and I don't think it was that difficult. Half margarita, half pepperoni peppers and onions. We ended up getting some clusterfuck of those two halves, and with 0 pepperoni. As I said, I was already running late, so we decided to just call and hopefully get a credit or something. The man on the phone said that WE were wrong and his cooks said they made it correctly. OBVIOUSLY they're going to say that, the fuck? Then he proceeds to tell us they'll make us another pizza and get it to us within 15 minutes (literally not possible, mind you the original pizza took an hour and a half) and TAKE BACK the first pizza because that's how much they didn't believe us that it was wrong. The whole thing was EXTREMELY weird and for the 20th time, I was in a time crunch and didn't have time to fight this dude on the phone. They refused to give any type of credit so we just gave up and kept our gross pizza. Thanks, Big Apple! read more

Asked to please not burn the pizza & it comes delivered black on the bottom. Had onions & they were half raw half cooked. This use to be a really good pizzeria & ordered here often but this will my last. Very disappointing when you can't get what you ask for & have a lousy dinner. read more

We visited Cransford last week, and while walking I mentioned I was in the mood for pizza. A woman crossing the street enthusiastically recommended Big Apple Pizza. She under-sold this place. The pizza was delicious and the staff was friendly. As a tourist, I was thrilled to experience quality pizza in local small pizzeria. The restaurant was clean and the table service was prompt. I love visiting coming to NJ/NY area and always discovering amazing places to eat. Thanks for giving us a great story to share! We are coming back! read more

This place opened up just a few weeks ago, and i happened to see it while i was walking by to pick up lunch. So glad i decided to stop in. They have a lot of variety of pizzas, as well as other items (calzones, rolls, etc). I picked two pizzas, the chicken francaise, and one with the cheese on the bottom and sauce on top (forgot the name). Both were really good, nice crust, great flavor, and they tasted fresh. Place was busy, but everything moved fairly quickly. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other pizzas! read more

We ordered more than 5 pizzas for the office and two of them had a long hair in them! When I called to tell them, they were rude and denied it, without even doubting it for a second. We buy food every Friday for the office, we will not buy from them again. read more

Philly cheesesteak made me sick. Not going back. The service was good. But the food is not

I can vouch that this place uses the freshest and best ingredients possible! I am a big eater, so I can easily down 6 slices to a pie with no problem. From OTHER PIZZA PLACES, I usually get a light, yet uncomfortable stomach ache from 2 slices. AT BIG APPLE, I will down about the whole pie and continue my day and will feel COMPLETELY FINE! HOW? THE BEST RECIPES AND HIGHEST QUALITY INGREDIENTS! No cheap ingredients, no grease, therefore no problem! Only at BIG APPLE can I eat for 3 people and feel completely fine after! read more

This had to be the worst pizza I had ever received. Typically everything I get from Big Apple is great. But tonight it was terrible. First I was delivered a personal veggie pie and it had no cheese or sauce! So I called up right away and explained the situation. I was told I had to get there quickly for the new pizza because they were closing. So I rushed over, gave the original pizza back and received the new one. After getting home I saw the new pizza. It was covered in cheese! At least three times as much as a normal pie. I couldn't believe it. Like I said, this has never happened before. Not even one mistake before prior to this night. It looked like they just dumped handfuls of cheese on top. It was disgusting. This one mistake cost them two loyal customers. My girlfriend and I have already found another delicious pizza spot and will never go to Big Apple Pizza again. read more

I love their margherita! Other faves: buffalo chicken pizza, the one with basil and tomatoes on it (forgot the name), meat lovers and good ol' pepperoni or plain is pretty good too. Also their penne vodka is the best I have ever had, hands down!! read more

Good pizza. We had a meat lovers pizza. It was not soggy. Perhaps a little more greasy than we might want, but better than most of the other local pizza options. The regular crust was a little too thin for our liking. read more

This place gives you what they want you to have. Ordered 3 subs for pick up , I pick up subs then manager calls me to tell me he gave me the wrong order. So I go back, pick up the order get back to job site and it's still wrong order. Now I'm pissed . I call back the manager says sorry the chef was watching the soccer game that's y the order was screwed up. Instead of trying to make it right and deliver me what I asked for he said he can deliver me mayo and onions. Hell no I'm going to get me money back Teribble Customer services! read more

BUF. CHICK. ZA - Big Apple can only serve Buf chicken pizza for all im concerned and i'll still consider myself a life long customer. Best specialty Pizza in the game right now for sure. A bit pricy as far as the pizza in the area goes but not many places are doing the things Big Apple is doing with the specialy options. Chicken francese pizza is freaking awesome. Food - 5/5 Value - 4/5 Buff Chick Pizza - 6/5 Overall - 4/5 read more

Nailed it! I'm always reluctant to try new pizzerias because I typically end up being disappointed. I lived in Brooklyn for a while so finding a good grandma pie in New Jersey is challenging. I gave Big Apple pizzeria a shot because my regular pizzeria was closed. Surprise- Their grandma pie is excellent! Thin, crispy, a good amount of sauce and not overloaded with cheese. My wife loved it and she's even pickier. The staff was also very friendly and I could tell they were appreciative of my visit. Great job Big Apple! I'll be back for sure. read more

Ordered some pizza (burnt crust- kids refused it ) a tuna sub (inedible - wet and fishy ), and a hot chicken sandwich (so chewy we could hardly eat it ). Never again . Too many pizza places in this town to serve gross food and expect to have repeats . Maybe it was just an off day for them but we just threw money down the toilet . read more

I love this place. Very fast delivery, delicious food, great prices. Just one little disappointment is chicken tenders. It's more like a "chicken croutons". But everything else is great read more
