    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

There's a small lot next to it but you can park in the main mall parking lot as well. Walking in, you may think this is just a take out place, but snaking down the corridor you will reach the dining room. Of course if you come here you have to try the star shaped pizza, which has a generous dollop of ricotta in each star corner. While there are a few star-shaped pizza on the menu, you can order from the pizzas on the first page and request it to be made star shaped too. They are well known for their pizza, though I personally find it too thin. I like it with a little more chewt, airy doughy texture. But that's just personal preference. Service wise, maybe our waitress is new, but out of four things we ordered two came out wrong. The billing was also incorrect.

Their description online states - Crimini mushrooms, thyme, shallot, mozzarella, garlic confit, caramelized onions, parsley, sourdough breadcrumbs. This was also good.

Can't really judge the vibe based on the circumstances. Overall, i don't know why so many people give the place 1 star. I thought the pizza was delicious for ten bucks. I docked it down a star because if it wasn't for the happy hour special, the pizzas would be a little pricey but they are well made. If I am in the area after shopping I would gladly go back.

The portion was fine, and I liked the dressing, but I didn't like that the dressing came on the side as opposed to being mixed in.. I'm not a fan of paying for a sit down and then feeling like I have to work for my food. We ordered a carafe of the red wine Sangria. It was nothing special.. the only fruit was the little fruit in our glasses, none in the carafe. It was like boozy watered down wine.. I don't recommend it. There is no Children's menu here which is a shame. My kids dont like pizza but they love pasta.. they wouldn't eat any of the pasta options on the menu as it was so I asked for penne with Alfredo sauce that they could share. They did like it, but it wasn't enough food for them. I ordered the Ravioli Lombardía (pear and Gorgonzola) however the waiter came back and advised they were out, so he recommended the Mezze Maniche Bronte (pistachio pasta). The Mezze Maniche Bronte was dry.. it didn't have a sauce to it, it was basically pasta out of the pot with pistachio and stracciatella on top.. so I mixed in the stracciatella so it kindof becomes the sauce (again, working for my food). My mom ordered the papardelle bolognese (and I also ordered one to go for my husband). It looked really good.. but my husband said it was okay at best, which is how I felt about my pasta as well. Since the kids were still hungry we ordered a dessert pizza 'chocolate and strawberries' it said. We were pretty sure they'd forgotten about it because it took a long time. Nutella always tastes good.. but the strawberries were very few small slices and they looked sad, perhaps strawberries that had been frozen and thawed. The Nutella goes all the way to the edge, rather than a pizza with an outer crust that you can grab and pickup from, so again, more working for food because I had to cut it up into bites for the kids despite it being a 'pizza'. The ambiance here is very casual and the service isn't great (there was a shift change during our time there - the first server was good). They have booths which I like, but the vinyl on the seats is cracking so my son was complaining that it was hurting his legs. The space is much larger inside than I had realized (I ate here years ago but in the covered outdoor area). The prices here are very high for what it is. We were not at all impressed.
