Food and service.take out order.also their sales.great location.close to home.i have been hearing about this place for years now I know why.

Love this pizza. For those who need a softer crust this will give you flavorful bites of a fluffy crust that isn't burnt. Sauce tastes so fresh and delicious. Mozzarella gives it that bounce I enjoy. Mushrooms are great if you are a fan. Delivery was very good. Called to announce arrival is a nice touch. Definitely on my speed dial. read more

Holy shit! I went here for a Pastrami (cured beef) grinder on a whim. Oh my gawd. THIS IS WHAT I WANT!!! The flakey but crispy bread, the thinly sliced tomato, the freaking shredded lettuce, some vinegar, whole ass jalapeños, not scared to put some raw RED onions on there, cheese, strong spicy mustard. F**k!!!... I went home and ate some... and reheated it again on broil, and just devoured that shit with a beer. THAT IS HOW YOU MAKE A friggin SUB or "grinder". This ragged place is Nardelli's TIMES TWO. D'Angelo's is a close call. read more

When they first opened I'd give them 3 stars but now 1 is too much. The pizza is old and smells like feet. These people can't even speak good English so how are they going to take a custom order the way I like it. They asked me if the whole pizza was for me or not? I told em that's none of their business. They are rude and use cheap ingredients. I know good food and it ain't here. read more

Most of the time it's great, but there was this time where I ordered at 8:01 and the food came at 9:53 The service is good, but it was that one time that lowered it. read more

Best place ever would highly recommend this to anyone !!! Was just a small hole in the wall type of place and was beautiful and amazing employees were great and the place was very clean !! read more

I called to place an order for a pizza delivery and when the phone was answered it sounded like someone just grunted. I ask if if was Big Cheese and the response was "What do you want", I let him know what I wanted and the response was "Give me your number". I said I'll call back and hung up. I don't care how much I like the food from any restaurant hospitality is a very big part of service. Rude. I thought I'll speak to the owner instead of leaving a review and called 2 days later. The same employee answered the phone. I asked to speak to the owner, the reply "Who are you", gave my name, he's here but he's too busy to talk to you he's making a pizza. Called Empire Pizza, very personable, and will never order from Big Cheese again. read more

They lied and added 10 more dollars to my card and told me one thing. Good thing instinct kicked in I checked my card. Canceled order. Calling my cars now to cancel them ... ew. I​ read more

This is a great, convenient location for a pizza shop. We were waiting for a prescription at CVS to be ready for my 3 year old. While we waited we were able to stop and get some grinders and a piece of pizza. I did not care for the pizza, it was bland and reminded me of frozen pizza. My 3 year old, on the other hand, enjoyed the pizza. What was really nice about the pizza was that they sell it by the slice if you'd like. The grinders were good, plentiful in meats and fresh veggies. The shop has a couple of small tables for people who would like to eat there. The only table that was left available to us had boxes all over it that a young man had to clear away before we could sit, and even then, there were only 2 chairs for the 3 of us. There are better places to get grinders in town but if you're in the area it's not bad for a quick bite. read more

Poor service and rude delivery drivers. Delivery driver showed up with my delivery. Flat out asked for a tip. I believe that is rude. Then when I told him "here a tip don't ask for one " They fagged my phone number and said I can't order there any more. Don't worry you not the only place in town and I will never order there again read more

Big Cheese Pizza & Grinders - a chicken salad - Pizza Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Sunday's have large cheese for $9.99. It's okay. Not the best pizza but definitely not the worst. I don't have a photo but their pizza looks picture perfect and crust stays edible not crunchy to the point of scratching the roof of your mouth! For me, its the sauce that needs improving then it would be amazing!!!! read more

I called to order a pizza deal and when they quoted me the price it was way higher than what advertised. When I questioned all they said was prices went up and we no longer what was advertised. To me that's false advertisement and should have been given at the price stated on their own website. read more

This is probably my favorite pizza restaurant, and so conveniently located only half a mile from my house. Whether you call for pick up or delivery I've always gotten fresh hot delicious food for an amazing price. Yeah so what they charge a $2 delivery fee but it ends up with the driver and they are always so friendly and helpful! My favorite pizza has to be the Buffalo chicken because it's made with blue cheese and the way they do their buffalo chicken is great! they also own the restaurant next-door called East Main Fish N Chips and They have fresh seafood shipments daily none of that frozen b/s, always fresh here. Either restaurant will satisfy anyone's craving for just about anything you could possibly crave! read more

I put in a large, last minute order yesterday. The order was delivered right on time, and the pizza was good. A tray of salad came with a variety of individually packaged salad dressing, a pleasant change from the large container that other places provide. Will definitely order from them again. read more

This place serves your standard pizza, Something that is OK to eat-sah. But I will continue on with my search through the town, For the best pizza pie to turn my frown upside down. Got a cheese pizza and a Greek salad to eat during the football game. The salad was really good. It was fresh and the topics went really well with the Greek dressing. The pizza was nothing to write home about. Tasted slightly processed and was a little cold, but an OK flavor and a flaky crust. read more

Your not going to go here and get an amazing pizza, but for the money you could do much worse. I've been going to big cheese for several years and never had an issue. They have a different deal everyday of the week which is nice. read more

They are still rude! They are also charging a delivery charge for each item you order - not per delivery. My daughter placed the order for her & the kids dinner & lunches the next day. When I called back & questioned the total, he rudely told me there were 2 pizzas, so 2 charges. I said, "So if I order 10 pizzas, there will be 10 $2 charges, or $20 for delivery?" & he said there would be. Also, there were supposed to be 2 cheese pizzas. ONE had onion on it... read more

Sketchy location with some pretty good slices and a damn good steak and cheese sandwhich I have to say. We ended up getting cheese, meatball and supreme slices, I ended up getting the steak and cheese with mushrooms. The slices where hot and the crust was perfect with the cheese. The steak sandwich was perfect with a good crisp to the bread. Besides the location the food was great and the counter staff friendly. read more

First time ever getting food from here and This place was so disgusting. I ordered 2 calzons one with pepperoni and one hawaiian with bacon. The Hawaiian one tasted moldy and then I call them and the pretty much call me a lier and when I call to make sure they are coming to get them BOTH and give me a refund on BOTH they hang up on me. I'm sorry but neither of us are eating anything that came out of that place with how bad mine was. I'm sorry but it was like bitting into mold it was so gross. Never again. read more

Don't use this place if you are planning to have a party. We had a guy at work order 30 pizzas for a big farewell party, Big mistake. We all told him that was the last time he was in charge of choosing the pizza and the place. The pizzas were absolutely horrible. They were cold when delivered. They all tasted the same. The were burnt. Some had small squares of brown that we could not determine if it was meat or what. The crust was not that great. Very doughy. When a large order of pizzas are made, there should be more of a variety. This is not the place's fault..it was the guy who made the order. We should have had some white sauce pizza and not just three different kinds. Very disappointing. You need to add more flavor and get rid of that square meat or whatever topping that was if you want return customers. But I won't be back. There are better places in MIddletown. read more

Do not go here!! My family has been using this place for 10 years!, I mean every week I ordered 3 pizzas they were over half hour late, so I asked the delivery guy, who was the owner if he would take a anything off for being so late, he turned around didnt say a word and left. I called the restaurant and they told me that they would not talk to a woman, to have the man or the boyfriend call and hung up on me. This is after spending thousands at this restaurant using them every week for ten years! Never again will I use this sexist racist pizza place. read more

BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK! I think the pizza is quite good. I think the prices are excellent. The delivery is always right on time and the order is SPOT ON every time. We order a couple times a month and never an issue. Factor in that Nick, who runs the place, is friendly, accommodating, and an honest, good guy. This is definitely my go to delivery place. read more

Tasty, fast, and cheap. These three words are perfect for reviewing this pizza place. I eat at this place regularly when I am in visit to Middletown. Even though that the pizza place sits outside from the town it doesn't bother me to drive to it simply because it is unique and better than other places in the town. I have never waited to pick up my pizza, my pizza always tasted great and the price of the pizza pie is cheaper than on the other pizzas that I visited in the town. read more

Yes, I made it up.My pizza order did NOT come out to $26.00 I lied. Because that's what people lie about and that's the issue at hand here.NOT! In being facetious .No, the pizza itself did not cost $26.00. The order in total,did. And you guys definitely messed up. Any reputable place wouldve immediately offered a replacement. I understand there are grimy people out there that try to get free stuff, but I'm not one of them. I dont eat sausage and I spent my hard earned money on sausage pizza that is still sitting in my fridge. Maybe I should take it down there,just to prove my point. I think youd be pretty pissed off too ,"phone girl ",if you found yourself in a similar situation. While I realize it was not your fault, I apologize for yelling at you, I just thought it could have been handled a little better. I work on the phone for a living and you did absolutely nothing to diffuse the situation. read more

Good place to order chicken wings, grinders and juicy pizza. Food is freshly prepared. After busy weekend days many times I stop with my family to buy lunch and have picnic by Connecticut River. Family business friendly to customers. Always ready to help. We will definitely come back! read more

For delivery it is pretty decent pizza and grinders. Nothing stands out but their wings used to be pretty good. They went with smaller wings and the sauce seem to change. read more

$9.50 for a large cheese pizza, how can you go wrong?!? Love this place! Best cheap eats around!!

3 blocks away and 1hr 30min delivery. Called twice to check and finally it showed up. COLD. Was told that NEXT time I'd get a discount. Even after I heated it up it was not very good. My advice is read the reviews and make your mind up to order or not. If there are good reviews for this place.............Any place can get it right every so often by accident. Hope they don,t hold their breath til next time. read more

Whoever took my order over the phone is disrespectful. I ordered a turkey and cheese and he repeated it back to me. When I received the order it was a steak and cheese so I called back and he told me next time to order the right sandwich.! R u serious.!! There wont be a next time.!! read more

Was in Middletown for the day for work and wanted a slice of pizza on lunch. I asked if their slices were Buffalo chicken or grilled chicken he said they had both. I asked for grilled chicken and told the cashier I can't do spicy food when he asked if I was sure. They gave me Buffalo chicken pizza and when I bit in my mouth was on fire. When I asked for a drink he said I had to pay and even though I warned that I can't do spicy food I was yelled at because I had no drink and the heat of the chicken caused me to throw up. When I asked for a refund or another slice I was asked to leave read more

Yes, order pizza here. Great pizza and grinders. Wings are decent, pizzas are to order and they deliver.

Delicious pizza & wings. My friends & I have ordered here many times with no issues. Fair prices & they deliver.
