The food has great taste, full of flavor. Its more of a self serve restaurant. The dining area isnt that big. Me and my kids have ate here multiple times and the pizza and mozzarella sticks are always good. Not much service when you pay the request a tip and absolutely do nothing to deserve a tip. Covid ruined the food industry and the expectation. read more

Great pie, service and awesome spot for families. Easy and no frills in the best way.

Tried this twice-I so wanted to love this place however one star because the pizza crust is like raw dough! Go back a third time? No thank you. read more

This place is where the old Pit Stop used to be. They have completely re-done the inside and outside - including parking and traffic flow. It is the same owner as Lily's Bistro. We got a large cheese pizza and a large Margherita pizza. The first thing I noticed was how light (in weight) the pizzas were. Given the prices, this kind of surprised me. The cheese pizza was excellent. Great crust and cooked perfectly. The Margherita was average at best. Very little basil and not a lot of flavor. Staff I encountered were incredibly friendly. I am curious to see how this place evolves. read more

My grandfather used to own a pizza place in the Bronx. This place's pizza is really good but could be a little better, imo, if they lowered their oven's temperature slightly and cooked the pizza a little longer. Maybe it's just my preference but I like a crisper crust. Cheesy bread was a meal in itself Service was quick and friendly. Nice pizza shop setting. I like the outdoor seating. read more

Always friendly and the food is great. We love having a pizza place a little closer to home and Big Papa's is a great addition to the Lake Wylie community. read more

Great pizza, just the way it should be with quality ingredients. Cooked to perfection!

Incredible meatball sub. Maybe the best I've ever had. Go to this place and eat right now!!!!!

My husband grew up in Yonkers and we really loved the look and feel of Big Papa's walking in! Feels like you're in the City. Everyone we encountered was very friendly. The pizza looks good but we actually weren't very impressed with it taste-wise. I had really enjoyed the Margarita pizza about a week prior, but the second pizza I had was lacking in flavor and texture. We decided then to give it one more shot. I think our last try was today. I needed a quick and easy lunch to feed 3 people. Went for the take-and-bake pan of baked (well, not yet baked) ziti with meatballs in the size that they say serves 4-6 people. I was shocked at the price... $70-something. I think I blacked out when she said "seventy..." She was incredibly kind about it when I declined, and even tried to offer me 5% off, but we're talking about a pan of cheese, noodles, sauce and meatballs for $70. If you can afford it, it must be good pasta! read more

I ordered from Big Papas online for in store pickup (not delivery). My order was $49.... The total price charged to my card was $69!!! They charged me $9 and change for "taxes and fees" and $9 and change for a tip. Again, I am picking this up in person, so what on earth are the "fees", and how is there an automatic $9 tip?! I have never had their food before, so I can't comment on the quality, but I will NEVER order from them again. This is robbery. Absolutely disgraceful. Stay away. read more

I decided to finally break down and download yelp as I don't have a Gmail account and can't review their. I am made an account just to leave this review This place far exceeded everything I thought it was going to be. Location is great and the spot was great to hang out with family and friends. Staff was friendly and answered any questions we had. And what we had was amazing!! Food wise we had supreme pizza. It was delicious and I'm still thinking of it. This is the closest we can get to NY in Clover, SC. Compared to other pizza joints in Clover (Lake Wylie) you have won me over. We won't be going anywhere else ever again! Can't wait to try the other items they offer. read more

Absolutely the best pizza spot in Lake Wylie and Clover area. The pizza and menu is great, but don't forget about the pasta!! They have take home and frozen options which are very convenient for parties/family etc. you get greeted immediately and taken care of extremely fast. It's a classic pizza spot with big city taste read more

The person that greeted us was so friendly!! I truly recommend this glorious establishment!!! I'm sorry they're no pictures I was too hungry and the aroma had me at TAKE A BITE!!! read more

We have live in York County for 3 years and haven't been able to find pizza with good crust. We've tried them all. Big Papa's owner is from Long Island, NY and he understands the importance of a good crust. This is now our fav. Pizza by far. They make their own sauce with fresh basil and San Marzano tomatoes too! We also tried the meatball app, but we were so hungry that we ate them immediately. Really tasty! read more

Fantastic pizza! Love walking in and the enthusiast working the register who says hello. Did I mention the pizza is fantastic? The toppings are fantastic. So much better than 90% of pizza within an hours drive. Not even close read more

Pizza was very good, if I'm being picky it could have cooked a little longer but wasn't doughy at all, it did have a light crisp. Sausage placement could have been a little better it's was kinda pooled into one main area of two pieces as you can see and one or two pieces ended up having very little sausage, again super minor stuff but could definitely be improved upon. I don't usually like to directly compare but this being pizza and not in my local neighborhood I would most closely compare it to Luigi's at Whitehall as this is my "neighborhood" pie. I would say Big Papa's is overall a little tastier for me than Luigi's, It's also a little more expensive. Is it overpriced well I don't know, I think papas 16" prices are right on par maybe their 12 inch prices are a little too high. I ordered a 12" pizza with pepperoni and sausage that's $13 for a cheese pizza and $2.50 per topping, so $18 plus tax it was like $20.33 or something out the door. By comparison Luigi's would be $11.50 for a 12" plain cheese and $1.25 per additional topping meaning $14 plus tax so $4 cheaper, but their 16" prices are much closer to each other, is it $4 better for what I ordered probably not but like I said it was definitely a little better. This is not local to me, but if I were back in the area I would get the pizza again. If this was my local "neighborhood" spot I would be very happy with that, it's very good non chain pizza. They only accept cash which I knew ahead of time, and they tell you on the phone, they have atm on premises. This is lazy for me in this day and age, I assume they don't want to pay credit card processing fees and I assume they make a little something off each atm transaction, so I think this is kinda a negative with all the forms of payment today. It's also confusing because the sign says 3% discount for cash payment but they only take cash so why have a sign, are they just giving everyone a 3% discount? I feel the only places that should get away with cash only are hole in the wall places where their product is so good and so desired they can basically do whatever they want, this is not that type of place, it's a very good above average non chain pizza. Don't go out of your way to try it but if you're in the area I definitely recommend you try it. read more

Big Papa’s - Italian Meat pizza - Pizza Near Me - Clover, South Carolina

Not bad. The pizza ok good . Wish we could work on the flies. I will be back to try the Sicilian. The place was packed on a Saturday but tables cleared fast . The should have metal trays for dine in. read more

First things first, very good pizza. We've been multiple times already to really feel out the quality and try the menu and have landed on this, it's very good pizza. 8.2/10. Up there but not quite as good as Luigis in Steelecroft if you like NY style (we did not try their Sicilian as that is not our cup of tea). If pizza quality is all you care about, stop reading here. Now for the meh. This place is a but overpriced. It's priced at about 40% more than the other one off pizza places in lake wylie/Clover, and is even more than your Charlotte top spots (and 2-3x the pizza chain prices, not that you should compare these). It definitely warrants a premium price, but it is absolutely overpriced imo. $17 for a 16" cheese pie at the time I'm writing this review. $4 a slice (again, from a 16" pie) also seems a bit steep. Worth a try for sure, but at these prices they're going for a different audience than the average family unfortunately. Also, and in my opinion far less important than everything above, but we've tried some of their other offerings and the non-pizza portions are tiny and unimpressive. Sandwiches are good but very small portions (think 2 orders to fill any average male). Our order of Meatballs were small and unimpressive. Chicken tenders were laughably small and is on the avoid list in our opinion. Point is, stick to the pizza. Overall an awesome pizza joint, just a bit overpriced which is really unfortunate as it prices this out from being our go to place. read more

We ventured into Big Papa's for the very first time today. Personally, I was somewhat put off by the flies buzzing around, but we decided to overlook that and placed our order to go. We opted for a half pepperoni, half sausage pizza with extra cheese. The crust and sauce were spot-on, but the two toppings combined resulted in a rather salty pizza. Although I was thrilled to have a pizza joint just 5 minutes from my house, we'll stick with Empire or Luigi and make the longer drive for a superior pizza experience read more

Big Papa’s - Half pepperoni, half sausage. - Pizza Near Me - Clover, South Carolina

Let me start with this was my first experience with Big Papa's. I called earlier to preorder to pick up after church. Was told they don't do that but can have it ready in 10 min. Right after church I tried to call to order. They had their phone shut off since they were busy. I was told when I got there the owner tells them to do that all the time. I ordered and was told it would be ready in 15 min. I came back 20 min later and nothing. A customer that walked in with me and ordered a new order got his 20 min later before mine at 45 min after I ordered. The pizza was definitely not worth the wait and found the counter lady to be rude. First and last time. Btw I found the pizza to be bland and salty. We will go back to ordering Pizza Man from Clover. We had high hopes since this is only 1.5 miles from our house. Good luck, but we will not be back! Oh and they only take cash since after 3 weeks in business they don't have their credit card system working yet. read more

Best manicotti around!!! Same owner as Lillys! Best fun place to hang out. Their lemon cake is to die for too!!!

Best pizza in 20 miles. Try heading there with a little patience and a sense of humor, it may imporve your experience. Remember, they just opened. Perfect for what it is- local hole in the wall pizza. We have been dying for this in Lake Wylie. Lines out the door speaks for both need and quality. read more

Pizza is good. Margarita and supreme. Meatball sub was not good and was made with very little sauce Chicken parm sub ok Fries undercooked and subs cold. Bring cash. They aren't accepting credit card at this time. read more

Boy, do i have a story for yall! I come with tap to pay on my phone, but disasters strikes! The atm doent accept tap to pay! Oh no! Luckily there is a 7-11 right around the corner, but disaster strikes again! I scurry home to find some cash, but disaster strikes AGAIN! I dont have cash at home! But me? I was persistent. I NEEDED that pizza. So i ride back to big papas, and THEN i try to get a pizza using cashapp, but DISASTER STRIKES AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM "TOO YOUNG" FOR CASHAPP!! So anyways probably the best pizza ive had in my short lifespan up to this point was paid for by the INCREDIBLY GENEROUS people that worked at this fine establishment. I will be back later with the money and a big tip. Also the ambiance is so much better than that of pit stop. Beautiful restaurant read more

Big Papa’s - 12" Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Clover, South Carolina

Great pizza and service! Best pizza we have found in the clover/lake Wylie area and the people are really nice.

Pizza is excellent! Sauce is made from fresh tomatoes, fresh basil; the cheese mix is buffalo mozzarella and grated pecorino romano. Filtered water is used in the flour: the taste is among the best in the Charlotte region. Prices are a little higher than competing pizzeria's. They now take credit cards, BTW... read more

Absolutely awesome! We are so excited to have this local pizza shop! Wings are fantastic, pizza is fabulous, fun beer selection! What more can you ask for?! read more

My first trip today and since it's a pizza place I got a pie an it was great. Nice ingredient and great crust. Staff are very helpful and happy that you're there. outside seating is a nice touch. It will be in my weekly rotation. read more

Newest area pizza shop, one that is providing a great addition for pizza and subs. Even amount of outdoor/indoor seating, so if summer months keep that in mind. One factor...CASH ONLY...service was adequate w/ no concern. Enjoy a NY style pizza and say hi to Big Papa! read more

The food was better than the service! Not sure if the cashier was having a bad day but she rude to several guests including myself. We have eaten here once before but brought it home, tonight we dined in but we won't be doing that anymore. And it is cash only with an ATM inside, I'm assuming to avoid the credit card fees. Pizza was served fresh and hot, though a little soggy. read more

Went to Big Papa's for lunch on a Saturday and was not disappointed. Quality pizza and you can just about split the lunch special between 2 people. I tried 1 slice of pepperoni and one slice of cheese. First the cheese was a good blend and the fresh basil added a nice touch! We sat outside to enjoy the weather. The pepperoni was spot on! We will definitely be back! Nice to have this quality pizza so close! Great job Big Papa's!!! read more

First time eating at Big Papa's yesterday and it was absolutely delicious. Came in and ordered takeout. Fast service, super friendly, and awesome food. The pepperoni bread was insane. I could have just ate that for dinner. Will certainly be back. read more

Everything is excellent!!! I'm so happy they are so close to me. The antipasto and lemon cake are divine! And you might see Ms. Gretchen smiling big. Great staff! read more

1st time experience was perfect! Aroma on arrival, staff was amazing, plenty of seating inside or out, beer in the cooler, and food was delicious!! Will be ongoing customers. Only thing I would recommend would be taking other payment forms other than just cash. Venmo, CC, cash app..... even roll those fees over to the customer to pay. Keep doing great!! read more

Food is really good and people are friendly. Restaurant is small so you can either eat outside or get it to go

We want to give BP another try as we went the end of their first week. It was a madhouse and a long wait. Had to take the pie home as the restaurant was full. The pizza was good but too much crust and not enough sauce. ( I'm a fan of good sauce on a pizza). But as I said, we will try them again as they work things out. Glad to have them in our neighborhood. read more

Very expensive 3 topping 16" $30.00. Not very flavorful crust or sauce I was hoping for a good pizza experience especially being so close to home. I am really bummed. read more
