I pass by this place all the time and never made a point to stop until today and I have to say I was underwhelmed. There was nobody in there. The lady at the cash register was nice but didn't say too much when we inquired about the menu due to it being our 1st time there. We decided to get 2 slices and a 6 piece wing. I was shocked that the total was $42. We got the supreme slice and it literally didn't taste like anything. The wings were ok. They had a buffalo type sauce on them but they could have been seasoned more. I guess this would place is for kids with them having the huge 36' pizzas but I'm glad I tried it. read more

As a native New Yorker I love a good pizza. I've been going to this place for years since they've been open. The pizza slices are rather huge and they're very delicious. I just wish they put more sauce on the pizza. Today I ended up getting it through DoorDash and I got a large extra cheese pizza. I got it well done and it was. It's kind of hit or miss but it's definitely a place. I would check out if you like Pizza or other Italian type dishes. The bathroom could use an update. read more

So, in-person, this place isn't great. We've ordered pickup & delivery from here & love their crust. But inside? Ew. Table tops are sticky. The tea is rancid. The TV was showing some bayou show where animals were being killed. The service is basically non existent. I ordered an 18 inch pizza for my kids and a personal pizza for me and got two 18 inch pizzas. We will stick with pickups from now on, but honestly not sure we will be back at all. There are much friendlier places that are clean and give you receipts when you order. read more

Try this place! And if you didn't have a good experience before, give it another try! They have new dedicated management and have made so many improvements! Lots to choose from and you can get as creative as you want. You order countertop, there's a screen next to the register for you to place your order and pay. Or you can place your order at the counter if you want something more specific. All the sizes including the smallest are enough to feed several people. We would oooh and ahhh every time each thing came out. Honestly, our whole group felt like little kids again. When the biggest one came out, we all squealed with delight! The kids and all of us jumped out of our seats and we had to take a picture with the biggest pizza we've ever seen & eaten! They have the sizes on the wall and they are scaled to size. It's the actual size! Food comes out so timely and everything tastes so fresh. All toppings were fresh. They have the heavy old school plates and plastic cups from back in the day and the whole place has a very nostalgic feel with some cool fusion updates to the menu. They also serve Mexican food. We tried the steak and chicken nachos and they tasted light and clean. Nice amount veggies, meat, beans and cheese on light chips. Your kids will love having these. Everything is so easy to share as well. They come out on shareable trays. We ordered a few pizzas because our table wanted to try a few things. Everything tasted fresh and even though the slices are huge the thin crusts make it easy to eat. We helped ourselves to some to go boxes which they keep nearby and every one went home with some tasty leftovers. My nephews had a blast. ***We got a chance to speak to management and they mentioned they have a food truck and they can do special events. So I can imagine kids would love to see this at a Birthday party. Couples, this would be cute to have at a wedding reception or bridal party. Parents, why not get a food truck for your graduate and their friends? The management will take good care of you. So give them a call. They bring all the bottled drinks, ice cream and whatever items you want in the truck. They have so many items on their menu like salads, sandwiches, wings, fries, mozzarella sticks, pasta, calzones, cakes, and even Mexican. They may add some cool Asian and Indian toppings like chicken teriyaki and chicken tikka masala soon! Can't wait to come back. It's such a family friendly place. And I'm so happy the owners put a Halal sign out. The Mexican items are Halal too! As a Muslim kid who grew up in south, pepperoni and sausage were things I couldn't eat on pizza because they're usually made with pork. The owner knows the struggle so getting the mobster meat healed the little girl in me who had to sit out during pizza days at school. Thank you so much for making a halal pizza and Mexican place in Hoover. We look forward to coming back and making more memories here! If anything is wrong they will make it right! So give them a try! read more

I typically do not write reviews but was forced to on this occasion. This place literally ruined our family evening outing on Sunday (7/12/26). Ordered through the kiosk and then didn't receive the order for almost 30 minutes. After follow up was told it takes time for the ticket to get generated and should have ordered directly with them instead. Well thank you for that, maybe you should put some kind of disclaimer to warn us on that beforehand. When we finally received the order after the long wait they messed up our order. There was absolutely no chicken in it, when I went them to complain about it, one of the bearded guys simply snuffed and offered to only give me a $5 credit for no chicken. I told them that's not acceptable either you give me the correct order or refund me the amount. He turned on me after that claiming "they only have issue with desi ppl like us". I'm not sure what that has anything to do with the issue I was complaining about. Felt very humiliated in front of my family. Long story short we are definitely **NOT** going to this place again. This place has no courtesy and/or empathy for its customers. Thanks for ruining our evening that day. They probably realized they had messed up and did give me a credit for 1 pizza almost as an after thought. read more

Such a lovely spot! Have driven past Pazzo honestly my whole life and have never thought to try it. I was recommended by quite a few people to try it out and it really did exceed expectations! The new management is doing a fabulous job giving new life to Pazzo and delivering quality food. My friends both got the typical Pazzo big slice and loved them. I opted for the chicken salad which was genuinely up there in the chicken salads I've tried!! So happy to have another halal option in town and am excited to see what all the new management has planned. The owner himself came out to greet us and gave us all chocolate cake on the house :) read more

This was my first time trying Pazzo pizza I was very excited to try my first Halal pizza establishment, and it did not disappoint I ordered the pepperoni pizza 28 inch in which they only use beef pepperoni, which was just as much enjoyable.

Stopped at Pazzo Pizza Truck and grabbed this huge slice of pizza. There is honestly not much to complain about here I just kinda with the sausage crumbles had more flavor maybe better quality not sure if they make those in house or store bought already made but man was this pizza soooooo freaking good and hot! The cheese was perfect with a nice sweet flavor just how I like it, pepperoni was huge and delicious could really taste that smoky pork flavor, the cheese was so well cheesy with a light mild flavor and just amazing, and guys that crust it was a perfect golden brown it was a perfect New York foldable slice and that's what I did I folded that bad boy and destroyed it! Please go check them out and if you can't find their truck then go to their brick and mortar at Pazzo Big Slice! They get a 9.5/10 from me great pizza! read more

This was our third time getting take out from Pazzo. We normally order calzones but tonight we wanted a pizza so I called in the order and she told me it would be ready in 20. We got the Sicilian with sausage, pepperoni, and spinach. I got home with the pizza and was thoroughly disappointed at how few toppings were on the pizza (there were whole slices without cheese) and how undercooked the dough was. As I was eating, I thought to myself "I don't even know how much this cost." I thought back and realized the only screen I saw on the machine was the tip screen (which I only tipped 15% since it was take out) and I remember the tip was around $8. I go check my bank account to find out that this pizza was SIXTY THREE DOLLARS! I'm literally in awe that I just paid that much money for this. It's not their fault that I didn't ask how much it was going to cost, but there was definitely a lack of transparency about the cost (didn't mention on the phone, at the register, or on the screen). I'm not sure how we got to $63-- that would mean that each topping was $5 which feels insane. Anyway, all of that to say... this place is extremely expensive for what you get. I would only recommend the calzones if you find yourself here. We will probably not go back. read more

I bought a voucher from groupon for Pazzo. They would not honor my voucher. I ask why they said chance of management. I told them they need to take it of off groupon so we decide to stay any way and try it. We could not get service so we left after that. I'm guessing they didn't like what we said. I do not recommend this place they were rude and I lost money so I guess my loss and their gain on my money. read more

Went for lunch and both got the pizza slice lunch deal. Decided to add the cupcake, so we got a slice, drink, and a cupcake. Nice café feel, and we enjoyed being able to sit outside, too, with nice weather. Cute painting decorations on the windows. Great staff was super friendly and quick. Yes, the pizza is big, so that's a novelty. However, it kind of seems to be just because they made the crust pretty thin; I'd say it's no more dough, and I'm just as happy with the nearby club store pizza. Utensils didn't work so well. The pizza wasn't too hot, the forks just bent as you tried to cut the slice. Only used it long enough to be able to make it small enough to pick up by hand. Super pleased with the cupcakes. They were phenomenal! Great cake, and nice balance with the frosting. I would go back just for those! read more

This place does not serve authentic Italian food. When we walked in, the restaurant was empty and staff was sitting at a table staring at their phones; they got up and took our order. When we turned around to sit at a table, all but two tables were dirty. So yeah, they were sitting around on their phones, while a majority of the tables needed to be cleared. Staff was not rude, just indifferent. I ordered the baked ziti with meatballs, it was horrible. The sauce tasted like it was straight out of the can, the meatballs are the mass produced frozen kind you get at your local wholesale warehouse that tastes nothing like Italian style meatballs; they were like meatballs you get in a cafeteria - similar to IKEA. My friend had the lasagna and also said it was not good. We did not order the pizza, so perhaps that is where they shine. Stay away from the pasta dishes! They charge a 5% card fee which is apparently waived if you place your order online. Disappointed, will most likely not be back. read more

This may be my first second review of a restaurant, if you follow along, feel free to correct me. Pazzos has great pizza, what I had not tried was the Calzone. Wow! Instead of a doughy, bland Calzone, which is what i was expecting, I got a crispy, flavorful mouth pleaser. If you look closer at the pics, there is a crust, which I enjoyed dipping in the marinara sauce. Next time I go back, I have a tough choice to make. Good news is, both choices are winners. read more

This is definitely a novelty restaurant for me. My kids got a big kick out of how big their slice is, haha. We went in for a late lunch today and there was only one other customer inside. The lady that took our order was nice and our food came out quickly. We got the slice combo and the pasta combo from their lunch specials. I actually really liked their meat lasagna and would definitely get that again in the future should the opportunity arise. The pizza and the garlic knot was average for me. Honestly though, any time kids like a place, the place is a win in my opinion. So this place is a win! read more

We tried the food truck when we were at a race at Barber. Pizza was good. Sausage crumbles did not stay on meat pizza easily. But the real secret food item is the meatballs. Don't skip this. Plus they come with a ton of sauce, and dipping the pizza in there made it even better. They are quick to serve you even with long lines. It is pricey for a piece, but kind of expected at an event. Enjoy a slice or two. read more

When you go to a restaurant in Alabama, half of what you are seeking is that touch of southern hospitality. Well, at least I am. Where were the smile, the warm welcome, the friendliness? We felt more like an intrusion than welcome guests. Also, we felt nickel and dimed over every item. Water? Sure- but no cups, you will be charged for bottled water. And you won't be told. Just charged. When I noticed the additional charge, I asked about it, and the cashier told me that they only HAVE bottled water. I asked her to simply remove the water, and she looked astonished but complied. I left a nice 20% tip while paying at the counter, because that's just how we fly. Wish we had waited until after the meal. Sharing a dish? Better share your fork too, because there are not any forks or napkins set out. You will be handed one set when your meal is brought to you. There's an up-charge if you plan to use your debit card. The prices seemed high to us for lunch. There WERE specials, but they all included drinks. We only drink water rather than soft drinks, though. My chicken Parmesan was available in sandwich or plate form. When I ordered, I did not specify "sandwich." I just asked for the chicken Parmesan. She never asked for clarification, she just brought me the sandwich. That was not what I wanted. I was kind about it. She did fix it, but there was no smile or apology. She just took my plate and walked away. The replacement plate was a hearty portion and it was nice and hot and tasty. And it was delivered with my own personal set of plastic wear. At last! The Mobster meat pizza slice and the Hawaiian calzone were enjoyed by the others. Our cannoli? Oh dear oh dear. We got that to go since they never brought it out to us and we finally just had to leave. They seemed super put out about us asking for it. Well, wish we had not. It was...musty? Maybe it had been stored in a basement, was well past it's due date? It was either the cannoli itself or the cream on it, but it was absolutely OFF. Now, be sure you "go potty" before you trek to Pazzos, because as the sign tells you as you enter the restaurant, there ARE no PUBLIC restrooms! read more

Overall this is not a bad spot at all, but there isn't much about it that really stands out from a lot of other casual Italian places. They do have massive slices of pizza, and you can order whole pizzas in ridiculous sizes if you'd like. So they're unique in that they sell the biggest pizzas that I've ever seen. The place seems clean and tidy, and the service in my experience is adequate for a super casual place. The menu has a good bit of variety from pasta to pizza to cheese sticks, garlic knots etc, so everyone should be able to get what they want. Decent prices, but not the best, (definitely check the specials), the novelty of a massive slice of pizza, and a laid back sort of vibe. Not too bad at all. read more

At the Italian Festival at Sloss Furnace there was a food truck and the people running it were very rude. We asked what do we have a available? and the worker said i don't have time, it would take way to much time to list everything. (most of everything was not there) so we didn't know what was there. the menu was very misleading and i recommend having something where you can mark what you have and don't have. We did not appreciate the rudeness of the employee. read more

Wow! Drove by this place today while I was out working and decided to go here for dinner. I am so glad I checked it out! They have a 36" pizza! Definitely have to go here for the next office party. They have thin crust, hand tossed and Sicilian style. We got the "big slice" I it's pizza by the slice and it was more than I could eat. We also got the Cheesy garlic knots, also very good! This was our 1st time there so we stuck with the pizza, can't wait to go back and try some other items on the menu. Overall, I recommend stopping by this place and give it a go!! read more

Pros: Slice was big and tasted OK, but not great. Tasted pre prepared. Cons: We instantly disliked our server/cashier. No eye contact, lots of unhuh's and yeahs. Garlic knots were just dough with cheese melted on top brushed with butter. Very underwhelming. Waitress was so distracted when placing one of our slices on our table she tried to set it down on top of another. I tried to move make room and spilled my coke which got an eye roll. They charge you 3% for the privilege for making a credit card payment. Payment machine asks you for a tip while you are placing your order at the counter and before you've been served any food. A cup of water costs 68 cents. Conclusion: Pizza is not bad, but the staff and garlic knots are terrible. read more

Being from NY, this is the closest thing to authentic you'll get in town! Huge slices with big flavor.

There are several things going really well, at this place, but definitely a couple things that could be better. One of the big draws of this restaurant is the big slice, which comes off of a 48 inch pizza. Yes that means they have gigantic pizza. They offer a variety of toppings and options in which I'm always a fan of. Now the greasiness is something else. Gordon Ramsey would be disappointed in the amount of grease I consumed. We ordered the baked feta theologos as an appetizer, which is a block of greek feta cheese baked and topped with kalamata olives, garlic and oregano, roasted red tomatoes, and served with homeade toasted bread. Now this was us being adventurous, as we thought this was something totally different, almost like loaded cheese bread...it was not. Although the salty flavor did work to my favorite, when I picked up the thick foil that was holding the cheese, my hand was drenched with grease and oil. Overall I think this place has a lot to offer, even though their menu seems to be a bit too extensive, but if I'm in the area again, I would love to try some of there specialty pizzas, or even a big slice. Extra kudos for having the ability to order through the Yelp app, and it being a Yelp cash back location as well. If I could give this location another half a star I would, but next visit my be enough for me to update this review. read more

Dramatic other reviews say no public restrooms. The sign clearly states that the restrooms are for customers only, so any other review that would lead you to believe you are not allowed to use the restroom if you eat there is clearly simply looking for attention. The enormously sliced pizza could have easily been hastily prepared and presented without care if they wanted to be passed off as a simple cute novelty restaurant for serving giant pizza. That was not the case here. The pizza was fantastic! The wait staff was very helpful and understanding if this being our first time there and needing to be helped through the menu offerings. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular. Hoover is lucky to have this place! read more

A major disappointment after having such high hopes. I ordered the overly expensive 26inch pizza thinking it would be a GREAT surprise for my family. The box came and the smiles were from ear to ear; then we opened the box. What I received was a big slice of pizza that was 23 inches long but varied from 10 to 5 inches in width, with unevenly cut "slices." I ended up having to order more pizza from another location to feed my family of 4. read more

Hugh sliced. I usually eat two to three slices all I needed here was one. I recommend this place best pizza I've had in Birmingham.

This was my first trip back since the menu was changed. I must admit I miss the build your own calzone format. However food quality is still there. I had the Tutto Meat Calzone. Portion sizes are huge. Wait for freshly prepared and baked is reasonable. Next time I will try the lunch special $7.99 for a xx-large slice of pepperoni or cheese pizza with a salad and drink. read more

I was truly looking forward to going here and getting away from the expensive pizza garbage I've had before. No luck. This place is bottom of the barrel. The atmosphere does not create a warm New York pizza feel. They play rock music over the speakers. Second thing that didn't sit well with me was the outrageous prices they have. Calzone, a slice of cake, and fountain drink...$30.00. Then the final straw was when I inquired about wifi and the cashier told me they don't have public WiFi because it screws up their cash registers. Wow. This day in age and no public WiFi. Final word...Fo git bout it. Domino's or Pizza Hut as bad as they are superseed this place. Won't return. Bye Felicia. read more

My first time trying it and it wasn't so bad. Friendly laid back comfortable place. Pizza had a great taste and yes, it was huge like they said. One slice was just enough for me.

It's a nice clean spot to eat. There's a traditional feel when you walk in. Pazzo s has a large variety of pizzas, calzones and salads. The portions are more than generous. I ordered the lunch special which came with a huge slice of pizza and a drink. I had enough pizza to last for dinner that night and breakfast from that one slice. I've definitely had better tasting pizza but I think the environment and service is what will draw me back. Overall it was a great experience and I'll definitely go back. read more
