This is my first time here and really enjoyed my visit. Friday afternoon, had a great cheesy pizza with fresh toppings. I've seen other reviews about soft crust, mine was good. If you like a crispier crust just ask for well done. But when you hand shave your own cheese it's going to be greasy a little. But what pepperoni pizza isn't. One of the owners Davin was in and provided excellent customer service and conversation at the bar. They have 7 TVs for sports. They have the nfl ticket and he says they will probably get the NBA ticket. Overall I enjoyed my experience here and will be back and pizza was good! Oh and his little daughter is soooo cute and mild manored. Not a peep!!! I saw some reviews talking about his daughter and "white trash". That is totally messed up for someone to judge a man for working hard and providing for his family and taking care of his child. Well I give a 5star for being a great dad and running a family business. The cook is also part Owner and was really friendly. Only bad part is that he's a lakers fan!! read more

Big Papa's - Pepperoni pizza - Pizza Near Me - Schertz, Texas

Their new Chicken Alfredo pizza is excellent! Recommend all of their food! Service is excellent!

This place is a local favorite. We ordered The Chicken Bacon Buffalo Ranch pizza, The Meatie, and mild and golden buffalo wings. Overall, this was good. I felt the pizza crust was a bit soggy and greasy at the center of the pizza. The wings were my favorite part of my visit. They were pretty big and the sauces were tasty. We ordered when we arrived so we spent a little time inside the restaurant. It has a sports bar vibe with several tables and a small bar. There were two friendly servers. read more

Big Papas does not get the credit they deserve! We love this place! Not only do they have the best pizza but they also have GREAT customer service! read more

After a hunger-inducing trip to the nearby Natural Bridge Caverns, we used yelp (nearby, "pizza", map) to find Big Papa's. First off, it's not mapping right, as you'll need to continue a bit further southwest on Schertz Pkwy. We learned this by calling, which leads to a funny story. The phone was answered and I my wife heard "Big Papa's Church." She apologized for calling the wrong number, explaining she was looking for a pizza place. "You have the right number.", she was told, and we were given directions to find it, just about a mile further southwest from Savannah Dr. Big Papa's was cool and inviting on this very hot day. I immediately spotted a beverage case and saw that there was beer in there, so I was already a happy camper. We started looking over the menu and were confronted by a dizzying selection of delicious-sounding options. Ultimately "The Big Kahuna" caught our eye. Described as "The house specialty with the Hawaiian Punch! (Portuguese Sausage, Kailua Pig and Pineapple)" We inquired about the sausage and pig and learned they are the real deal... And that to make Kailua Pig is a 15 hour process. If we got it right, the owner with Hawaiian roots, brings this item in from Hawaiian. After a description like that, we had to give it a try. While we were waiting for our pizza the phone was answered and I heard, "Big Papa's Shirts." I asked the girl (I feel so bad I forgot her name... I think it starts with an R) what she said. "Big Papa's in Schertz.", she replied, "Because there is also a Big Papa's in Universal City and this cuts down on the confusion and mis-orders." So that mystery was solved. Bottom line: Our pizza was fantastic. The Kailua Pig was delicious and tender. The Portuguese Sausage contrasted nicely and the pineapple gave it a perfect sweet element... All on top of a thin, perfectly cooked, crispy crust... Just the way I like it. I washed it down with an ice-cold Stella Artois. It was the perfect lunch. Next time we are in San Antonio we will do our best to make it back to Big Papa's. read more

BEST BUFFALO CHICKEN PIZZA EVER!!! Food was amazing and the manager who was also our server was fantastic!!! I can't wait to eat here again, likely tomorrow!!! If you haven't been here yet you're missing out!!!!!! Go here!!! read more

We ordered a pizza. He said come back in 30 minutes to pick it up. The gentleman asked me what I was driving and he would bring it to me When it's ready. So we waited the time I called the store and he said he'll be right out. Five minutes later no one came out so my daughter went into the store to pick up the pizza he said I don't have an order for that name. She gave him the receipt and then all the sudden he found the pizzas. She brought the pizzas out to the car looked at them. The cheesy bread was burnt in the meat pizza was stone cold. I called the store and asked him if he could remake it he said he was out of dough and I said well then you could give me a refund no I can't give you a refund because you already left the store with the pizzas. This is my second time being here the first time was a great experience but that was about eight months ago. I'm just wondering if they have new owners. We got home put the pizza in the microwave warmed it up thought that would help keep all the meat on the pizza there wasn't even any cheese on the top of the pizza. We had to go order pizza from somewhere else. I've never heard of a place that doesn't give you a refund for bad service or bad quality of pizza that he made. It's not our fault as a customer that you do not have enough dough to make pizzas. And it's not the customers fault the burnt the pizza. He's very rude and I will never be back read more

Big Papa's - Burnt cheesy bread - Pizza Near Me - Schertz, Texas

See all

The service is usually pretty good. The dough is good. We ordered to go pizza and cheese bread with an extra sauce for the cheese bread THE SAUCE HAD SPOILED. I took it back and they offered to replace the sauce but we ate our pizza and cheese bread at home first so it wouldn't get cold so there was no need for it at that point. I had to request a refund for the extra sauce and only got the money back for the one sauce not even the other one we didn't get to use but I feel that more should have been done on their part to make up for it the waitress did apologize but the owner did nothing but ok the .75 cent refund. I hope anyone that eats there doesn't get food poisoning. read more

It was a very lazy Sunday and I was in the mood for pizza. Yelped this place since the reviews were pretty good. Bottom line: pizza is a 4.6 (Barstool pizza scale), pretty disappointing. This restaurant is in Schertz, TX and right near a high school. A lot of good pizza places are closed on Sunday, but this restaurant says it is open until 10pm. Inside it is fairly small with tables to sit down to eat and watch sports on a few big screen TVs. There is a bar area where I assume locals/regulars hang out. I called in an order for a large, 18" cheese pizza and 10 Cajun Parmesan chicken wings. The food came out just as I was paying. The pizza didn't look that spectacular, but I left judgement aside until I was actually able to taste it. By the time I got home (20min drive) the pizza was cold, yet the wings were still fairly hot. I separated the slices and could immediately tell it hadn't been thoroughly cooked - the inner circle of the pizza was a sloppy mess of semi-cooked cheese and pizza dough that stuck to the box. I had to reheat the whole pizza in the oven, which unless you have an actual pizza oven/grill it's not the same. The pizza did not taste that great either. There was way too much cheese on the pizza to the point that the grease caused the cheese to fall off. It didn't help that the paper thin crust was extremely doughy, floppy, and drooped when picked up. The chicken wings were okay. If you're going to order wings from here, I'd recommend asking for all drumsticks as opposed to flats. There was way more fat/skin on the flats than the drumsticks. I'm not sure why there are so many raving Yelp reviews for the pizza. It's pretty hard to mess up a plain cheese pizza. This place is a step above Little Caesars pizza, but I would not recommend this restaurant if there are other options. read more

The pizza is so good!! The service is awesome as well. I call in for the family, take it home, have some beer and watch movies. Definitely worth every penny! read more

My neighbors eat there every Friday so we thought we'd give it a try after a baseball game. Out of Miller Lite and 50 minutes to get one pizza that was raw in the middle. First and last trip for no beer and bad pizza. read more

Was told there was a hour wait for a large pizza. Got there a hour and 10 minutes later and still not done. After a hour and half I finally got it. Pizza was burnt and cheese sticks were not even edible. Burnt. This was my first and last time going here. Staff was nice tho. Food sucked. Pizza was dry. read more

Great food always and they always have great events. I've never had a bad experience with them and I've been going there for years!

Okay Big Papa's...not impressed tonight. Pizza was under cooked and thanks for the watered down ranch dressing. If you run out of ranch, then just say so. Don't serve sub-par items just to get by for the night. Also, walking by the kitchen to use the bathroom...kitchen looks pretty gross. Optics are everything. We will give you one more chance because we have had good experiences in the past and have liked the taste of your pizza compared to other locations in our area, but management needs to take a look around and make some changes. Thank you! read more

They deserve s five star because the service is superb and the food is Ono. I order the specialty pizza all the time and it is always tasty. Mahalo Big Papas for good service and food. read more

Big Papa's - Half kahuna and half delight - Pizza Near Me - Schertz, Texas

Big Papa's Pizza After reading favorable comments from the owner while conducting yesterdays pizza poll, and after hearing from John S for years about this place and what sold me was the passioned owner's nice comments about coming in to try the buffet. She stated the hours wed-fri 11-2. She said this is a chance to try their many pizzas and get this it was only $6.99. She sold me.... After a doctors apt today, I wasn't even craving pizza but Chinese food, but with the thoughts still ringing from the owner, I said what the hell and passed NB up to go all the way to Schertz. I wanted to see what all the excitement was about. Big Papas I entered a dark, (I mean very dark) sportsbar type place at 12 noon, one hour after the advertised lunch buffet. I'm looking around for the "buffet" and finally see a couple holding stands on the bar top type table. I asked the bartender where was the buffet? She said oh we can get it ready soon. She yells in back, Hey Joe or Mike (whatever) we have another buffet person. Do you think My elevated bubble has popped yet. I left. read more

DON'T waste your time! Waited over 1.5hrs for our food and then when we politely asked about getting it to-go, we were met with nothing but attitude and disrespect. The owner was just as rude as the employee's! This was my first and last time ever going to this place, the disrespect was absolutely unreal. I can't even review the food because by the time we got it, it wasn't fresh or hot. Places that do business like this shouldn't be in business at all. read more

The best wings and pizza around. The Cajun Parmesan wings are a dry rub and absolutely the best. Great place to watch your game of choice. My only negative is that they need a ice trough for the can and bottle beer because it needs to be A-LOT colder and they need to carry Shiner read more

Wicked good pizza located in Starzville near Canyon Lake . Great pizza and sides if you like thin pizza. We ate inside, you can get beer/wine next door. They are set up more for carry out though. read more

This is my new pizza spot!!!! I absolutely loved the food and it wasn't crazy expensive like chain restaurants. Good job Guys!!!

Pizza is always hot and delicious!!! Melt in your mouth amazing food Service is just as wonderful. This pizza joint is a must try.

I am a pizza junkie and this place never disappoints me on taste. Delicious! I am a fan of both meat and veggies, but my kids usually prefer something basic. Either way, I eat more than I should, every time. If you aren't in the mood for pizza, try their sandwiches! They have a chicken one that I add ranch to, yum!! The only negative thing, is that it always takes longer than expected. I have never been when they aren't busy or slammed, and sometimes feel they don't have adequate staff. Just remember, it is worth the wait! read more

The people really care about their patrons and the quality of food. If you're new and unfamiliar it can be frustrating when there are long wait times. But it is ALWAYS worth it!! Even if there was a situation that was unfavorable the managers and team are always willing to make it right. Really no reason to leave less than five stars for Papa's. They have my love!! read more

Tried on a whim after driving by a bunch of times. Needed wings for the game and they were fantastic! Baked wings of good size with hot sauce...solid as a traditional fav. I might try one of the many other wing sauces next time. Happy wait staff. I'll choose to go again! read more

The worst services ever. I went to pick up my order and when I got home which is like a min away. I my husband asked me why is the pizza cold? I checked the rest of our order everything was cold. I called to let the manager know. He said I could go back to get another order. I was like no. Why do I have to go back. He said he can give credit for next time. I said I don't want credit. I don't think I want to go back. It is not the first time you make wait for over an hour and get bad food a worst service. He said that's all he could do. Pretty much take it or leave it. I told him I would fill a complaint. He said to do what I wanted. Never going back!!!!! read more

We hadn't been to Big Papa's for well over a year. I was craving wings and pizza and both hit the spot! We'd never ordered the wings and they were delicious! read more

My first time and I really enjoyed the cool and comfortable atmosphere. They have several televisions and comfortable seating. The pizza was on point. They have several speciality pizzas that are amazing. They put plenty of toppings and cheese. I can't wait to return and watch the NFL ticket. This is a local gem. read more

We got takeout from Big Papa's because it was the only spot open late enough for a quick takeout meal for the kids, hubby, and me for our recent little excursion to central Texas. We were pleasantly surprised when we brought a Homewrecker, Pepperoni (for the kids), and an order of cheesy bread back to our AirBnB and dug in. This pizza is some of the best we've had since NY! The crust is just the right balance of softness and thickness without being pan (definitely hand tossed), not too salty/bland, really great flavor. The Homewrecker seriously rivaled some of the pizza we had in NYC back in Dec '19. Just the right balance of sauce and cheese, the tomatoes, onions and garlic were perfect and they must be using olive oil, it was just so good. Was plenty hot and cheese was still "stringy" when each piece was pulled away from the pie, even after a 15 minute drive back to our casita, so they packed it just right. We were quiet through the whole meal as we enjoyed every bite! My hubby was glad we ordered a lot because he ate leftovers the next few mornings after and said it was just as good leftover. Wish we could bring this place back home with us, we'll return if we're in the area again in the future. read more

Great pizza!!!! Came in for a quick bite. Never been here before. Homemade pizza not over bready, toasted just right. Super affordable buffet. Cool little location for cheap priced beer to. Was here at lunch can't wait to try their wings read more

The foods good and the price is cheap for a pizza place, I also love the promotions they do I just won a free 18' pizza for spinning the wheel read more

Pizza needs more sauce a bit overpriced for the sizes. Good service though. Did not have much flavor.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS PLACE!!! Food was DIRTY! There was small fragments of GLASS on the pizza and 2 different types of HAIR on the chips... and it Smelled RANCID like a MAGOT FARM! It was freezing cold and over 2 hours late without any kind of apology and when I called for a refund I was told to f**k off and I wasn't gettin my £28* back. Customer service is an absolute joke to say the least... a very disrespectful and aggressive attitude. I really dont understand how this sham of a "restaurant" is still open, it needs shutting down ASAP for many many reasons SAFTEY being one of them!!! Most of if not all the good reviews here are obviously fake using the same copy and paste tactics with the exact same names read more

This is our favorite Schertz pizza place. The atmosphere is awesome with great people ready to take great care of you. This place really makes you feel at home and remember your name. Besides the pizza, we really love the pep rolls and hot wings. You won't be disappointed. If your coming from any distance be sure to phone ahead and they will even reserve a table for your family. I hope you enjoy read more

Big Papa's is the best pizza in Schertz/Cibolo (honestly in San Antonio area). I love the friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Staff is always friendly and they have a decent beer selection. My husband and kids love it here too. My husband loves the Big Kahuna pizza. We frequently order our pizza to go, when I am in a pinch for dinner. Pizza's are usually ready with 20 min. Big Papa's is my favorite! read more

Their supreme pizza was amazing, they do not go light on the toppings and have flavorful wings.
