Such a fun day activity with so many different games to pick from to play while waiting for your pizza. The crust for this pizza is slightly sweet and one of my favorites. Have been multiple times and the staff and location are always very family friendly. They have multiple locations for seating including areas for hosting a party. read more

Typical modern arcade- no quarters required as a preloaded card system is in play. (Pun not intended) Not my kind of place, by any means, but my 11 year old LOVED it. He was content with his pizza and wings, which were reasonably priced and decent quality. I had a chicken salad, it was a deli style salad, nothing special but their house made ranch is really good! The arcade kept him happily occupied for 2 and a half hours, not bad for $40 of points. I noticed tons of groups with private dining rooms available for rent. It was packed on a Saturday afternoon. Be mindful of this if your planning a short visit- wait times can be longer at peak times. They do offer beer and wine, for you who are brave enough to indulge with dozens of children orbiting about. Street parking. read more

This place is a local treasure, and something I tell everybody I know about. What better place to host kids birthday parties? I feel that Arcade vibe from back in the day, with tons of great games, pizza, and fun! The pizza is what really keeps me coming back here. That crust has such a great texture, and the ingredients taste super fresh every time! order the dill pickle and bacon pizza. It's so unique and is one of my favorite pizzas! read more

This is the best pizza around! Do yourself a favor and order a large pickle pizza with extra sauce. The sauce, crispy bacon and those pickles are perfection! And now I want a pickle pizza and it's closed. LOL read more

The dill pizza taste like a bacon cheeseburger! The pizza has a ranch sauce with cheese, dill and bacon. My little nephew was hesitant to try this pizza but kept going on and on how good it is and had three slices in a row. The arcade was a real fun experience. Several different games including your typical Skee Ball, pinball, air hockey and many more fun options. I found most of the games to be affordable. I saw .50 cent games and .25 cent games. They have a few party rooms available also. Jessie was our go to person. She took my ordered, answered all my questions, held onto the leftovers in a warmer while we continued to play. Thanks Jessie for the wonderful customer service! read more

A well rounded pizza pie that is balanced with great tasting toppings. And a lot of them! Thick toppings and wonderful hand crust toasted to perfection. Oh so yummy! Counter service to order food with a large menu board to view has everything on it. So, placing an order is as easy as A-B-Cheese! The ambiance is all about having fun. It's a giant arcade filled with games you can play. Games like the Carnival has as well as video games, skee ball, hoops, everything. Lots of flashing lights, bells, whistles, rings, and more make Big Jay's Pizza Arcade the place for kids of ALL AGES to go play and eat delicious pizza. read more

Yes we did try a pickle pizza at Jays. I would have like to see more pickles per slice. It Avery clean and inviting. The service was what I expected. I do not like Canadian bacon but did not realize it was going to have it on a pickle pizza. I will read more careful next time. Loved the amount of cheese used. I love cheese I have a 4 rating because I did not like the Canadian bacon. We also ordered a Hawaii and it had Canadian bacon which was requested. I picked off the bacon off both. Will ask for pepperoni on my pickle pizza or just pickled snd more of them. read more

Stopped at Jay's on our way to Breezy Point for New Year's weekend! We had the Dill pizza which was delicious. For those that enjoy meat... I'd suggest adding hamburger and American cheese to the Dill for a bacon cheeseburger flavor! The crust and amount of toppings were perfect. Absolutely no complaints! The kids ordered their own personal sized pizzas. Cheese and Pepperoni. 5.00/each. They were both very satisfied. I saw the gooey cheese and knew we had a winner! The kids played games and had a good time. Some of the machines are old or not fully lit up. However, this did not take away from the experience. Most of the games are .50 which you can't beat! The staff were friendly and we felt comfortable dining in. They have beer on tap and also individual wine for sale. read more

Accommodated my son's whole hockey team. Nice folks and great food. Kids had a good time. Good beers on tap.

We love Big Jay's! Great place for families, especially during the cold Minnesota winters. The pizza is outstanding and they have a wide selection of games that don't cost an arm and a leg to play. I highly recommend the dill pizza- yum! Also a great option for birthday parties- the staff is amazing to work with. read more

Fantastic pizza. Fun range of games at reasonable prices (.25-.50) . Kids had a blast!

We did take out and the pizzas were delicious! We will be back next time we are in the area!

I like the pizza and everything else it was my first time there and the games where grate

We needed something to do on a rainy day so decided to check this place out. We just played games and had fun! Getting prizes for our tickets took a long time.. you have to select them out of the machine, one item at a time... was the only downfall! Pretty small but good selection of games in cute downtown area. read more

The pizza is very good! We tried the dill pickle pizza and a glass of beer! Yum! We also had a couple other pizzas and all were great! The kids ate them down! The place is an awkward shape and flow with the tables and games throughout but it was a fun afternoon. The games are expensive and the prize area can easily get congested because you can only redeem one person, one prize at a time. We had to come back the following day to get prizes because there was a line the day we were there. Overall, we will be back for more pizza! read more

Excellent pizza and breadsticks! Games are only $.25-&.50 a piece. Highly recommended for kids or teens! read more
