    We catered food from here and it was phenomenal! We had two large salads. One Caesar and the other was with black olives, tomatoes, cucumber, mozzarella etc. Then we also had a variety of sandwich wraps. The cookies..... oh the cookies... delicious. Everything was fresh and the delivery young lady was efficient with setting up. I most definitely would be delighted to have this food catered in again. Enjoy!

    I really enjoyed the food from this place. I ordered it for catering for my job and I am used to not getting the best quality with large quantity foods so I was happy to see how good everything looked. The caprese panini was delicious and everyone else liked the paninis as well. I didn't try the wraps since most of them had meat but they did look really fresh. Also the gourmet cookies were to die for!

    The pizza!!!

    My first job was a teller at Ocean Bank located in Kendall and 109 ave, during that era of my life I used to order amazing pizzas from the Big Tomato. They closed and I found out that they moved to Pinecreast and decided to relive my college year and order a pie with my usual topping black olives. I picked it up and and ate it but sadly it was not the same. They still had it chewy tips but the bread was too thick and not crunchy. I am glad I tried it one more time, but sadly not like their glory days.

    Traditional Pizza raw

    I love big tomato. I've always found this to be my go to pizza. I always get the same thing, a 10" cheese pizza or pepperoni. As well as sometimes get the Caesar Salad which is one of my favorite salads! Unfortunately recently their quality has decreased as well as the customer service. I placed a delivery order for a 10" cheese pizza and the entire dough was completely raw. I complained through Uber eats. But I also decided to call the restaurant just to give them a heads up that the entire pizza was raw and their response made the entire situation worse. The lady that answered the phone apologized then proceeded to blame me for asking for extra cheese and that it was the reason the dough was undercooked. Then suggested that I made a request for the pizza to be well done in the future. I didn't need my pizza to be well done, I just needed it to be cooked thoroughly. I have ordered the same thing for a long time and this has never been an issue. So blaming the customer for a restaurant issue was not acceptable. A simple apology would've sufficed.

    Cheese pie

    Came here for a quick bite to eat. I have passed this place for years and never stopped to try it. My SO and I shared a cheese pie. The first thing I noticed when we got our pie was the amount of grease pooled at the top. I am not talking just a bit...I am talking about a significant amount. I took lots of napkins and proceeded to blot as much as I could off of it. I feel guilty enough about eating pizza! After that it was just plain goodness. It was cheesy and saucy. The crust was on the thicker side and had a nice crunch and chew. The other items on the menu sound really good. Looking forward to going back and trying some.

    I have eaten at this Big Tomato at least 20 times over the years, maybe more & can honestly say I have never had a bad pizza from them. Whenever I get tired of the boring generic pizza places I come here. As mentioned by a fellow yelper, it's not Chicago Deep Dish, it's Miami Deep Dish! The pizza is great & has a taste unlike any other pizza I have had before. I love the cheese, the crust, & the portion sizing. This location is very clean & the staff is very friendly. For a healthier choice, give the wheat crust a try. A heads up, they don't just do pizza. Take a look at their menu, they have a whole lot of wraps & panini style choices as well as soups.

    They have a vast variety of all tasty pizzas! Something for everyone! IG: @KFirzEats

    Growing up in the Pinecrest area, the Big Tomato has been a long time favorite for me and my family go-to spot for pizza. It definitely is my favorite local pizza joint and the only place in the area where I'll eat deep dish, Chicago-styled pizza. The Big Tomato is doing everything about pizza right! They have every topping you can think of and creative mixes of these toppings you really can't find anywhere else. A Thai pizza or Mexican pizza? Sound gross? Its absolutely delicious! I ordered the Santa Fe Sensation: salsa, chicken, fresh tomatoes, jalapeños, mozzarella, parmesan and gorgonzola. And if you like more classic pizzas their Margherita isn't the typical and one of my favorites; pesto, fresh tomatoes, sweet onions, artichokes, gouda and parmesan cheese. If you're not in the mood for pizza they also have fantastic paninis and salads served in fresh bird bowls that can also serve as a heart but healthy lunch! Pro tip: they have a pizza happy hour from 3-5pm where you can get a pizza for $5!! If you're considering ordering or eating from here just do it! IG:@KFitzEats

For less than $9 out-the-door you can get the best pork sandwich (AKA pan con lechon) in Miami. This pork sandwich is off-the-bone from freshly cooked garlic pork shoulder that is chopped up with chicharron mixed in, so that you get the crunch at almost every bite. They put about a pound of lechon (pork) into a footlong Cuban bread roll and press it. It's very special! They have other foods that you can consider. They have combos, known in Miami as a "Completa", that include rice, beans, plantains and the main meat dish. As you'll be able to see in my pictures, today they had Fricase de pollo (chicken fricassee) and carne con papa (beef stew). A combo plate of either one of those will weigh close to 5 lbs. No kidding. You can always take it home and leave some for later, or just split it with someone else. The seating inside, however, isn't great. There's a counter with high chairs behind the ordering station. I mostly see people taking it home or eating it in the car. There's also a good amount of people just devouring these sandwiches standing up around the parking lot. The inside is not really worth eating in. The service here is fast and attentive. The employees are very courteous and professional. They earn their tips!

When I got the sandwich there was no TURKEY, or Crispy fried onions. I called the location and told them they sent me a sandwich with no meat and no fried onions, it had regular onions. The guy apologized and told me he would re make it for me himself. About 5 min later he calls me back tells me he reviewed the footage and the girl who made my sandwich put 2 sliced of turkey and the fried onions (Which even if they did put 2 slices on it 2 SLICES ON AND 8 INCH SANDWICH A RIDICULOUSLY SMALL AMOUNT)...So I'm not sure if I got delivered the wrong sandwich or if he was just telling a lie. Because there was NO TURKEY...only bacon, cheese, lettuce, raw onions, oregano, and oil & vinegar. So basically, they weren't going to remake the sandwich for me the right way. I've rarely had a problem in the past ordering from this location, but I will say this, I WON'T BE ORDERING Again. Their unwillingness to correct a problem and basically call me liar in not so many words in unacceptable. I don't know who they have working there now, because that place use to be good. I work in customer service at a luxury dealership, and this is not how issues are solved and customers are retained. This is the second time they make my order wrong, the last time I did not bother calling them, because at least it was the correct sandwich, WITH MEAT, it just didn't have the add Ons I requested. So, I let it pass, but this time I can't let slide because of the poor customer service & NO MEAT!!!
