Big Apple Pizza

I used to frequent the Big Apple pizza in North Palm Beach, so when we were looking for a midpoint place to meet family, we chose this Big Apple Pizza location.
When we arrived, it was empty, but there is ample seating available. Their tv’s are tuned to sports, and many pictures are on the walls, including one of President Obama visiting there.
We got garlic knots which are good, but there are the harder ones, I prefer soft, but they were still good.
The salad and dressing was also good.
We got a loaded pizza and a plain cheese pizza, both were huge and very good.
While this location is off the beaten path, it is worth the drive.

I have been here several times. The canoles and strombolis are very good. The pizza is okay. One of the young ladies (I am not the best at descriptions) that works there has a bad attitude and seems indifferent, like she could care less whether you were there or not. When I go there, I always hope she isn’t there so I will have a better dining experience. The owner seems to have the opposite attitude, I wish he could see she is not good for business.

Amazing!!! The food was great!!! The restaurant was nice and the staff was friendly!

The place is nice and the pizza is delicious. The guy in the kitchen is a very nice person but the cashier girl is not friendly. I ask for a small box for two pizza slice and she just said ahaaaa, then I ask another question and said uhuumm. Really I don’t know if she know how to talk or have any problem.

We ordered takeout from here last night
When I placed my order we were disappointed because we were told they did not have any soups at that location nor did they have the wedge salad
Both were on their internet menu …
We got the sampler dinner… It was very good
Spaghetti and sausage… Not much sauce kind of plain tasting however the sausage was good but nothing exceptional
Two slices of pizza… Was ok again not much sauce and the crust was very tough and chewy
Their garlic knots were tasty but again very tough and chewy… Fed them to the dogs
Side salads were good
Canoili was good and the cheesecake was average
Maybe it would have been much better at the restaurant but not so much delivery
If in the area again I know we would not order takeout again but might give it a second chance and eat dine in
Was disappointed but will give a second try

Really liked this spot… the server was the owners daughter, not sure if she is always there, but I like when family works together at a restaurant.
We had just got done moving to PSL, and after a week of hell, we were hungry and stumbled into this pizza joint…
Very friendly server, and after ordering, the owner came and introduced himself, asking if we would like to try the vodka sauce over some penne… umm, cha… and so happy we did… best I have ever had.
Then, the food came… wedding soup was top notch… garlic knots were right on… spag and meatball were very good, might have been a box pasta but very good sauce and meatball… and the cheese pizza was tasty as hell, very thin and foldable, just like a New York pie should be…
Then, the owner came over and invited us to meet up and ride sometimes, I think because he knew we were new in town, and it was a very genuine offer… which we are going to take him up on…
Our one regret, is that we did not save room for the cannolli… this time… I mean, since we will be back!

Pizza was absolutely delicious. Just like I get in NY. Great antipasto salad and calzone was delicious. Highly recommend.

Will never ever stop by there for his lousy Pie and Politics when I am in the area!
Shame on you!
You really hurt and embarrassed small business owners with your immature antics!
And your pie isn’t worth it.

Yes! It is worth it!
So a funny thing happened while on another Ocala to Miami drive — Yup, I got hungry! Was in a rush but just not in the mood for crappy food. — Unilocal– Benchmarks — I honestly did not remember why I tagged this pizza shop. I’m not a aficionado, heck, I don’t even eat pizza that often. But trusting there had to be a good reason I took a sizable detour from the Turnpike.
And IT WAS WORTH IT! Yep. I was very happy with my 2 slices mushrooms, roasted peppers and sausage. Plus a draft of 312 (don’t judge me)
So while waiting for the order, I went back through the reviews and quickly remember why I wanted to make a visit here. The social brouhaha after the POTUS hugged the owner, the subsequent dirty responses from (XXXXXX) people who have issue with the POTUS, and the noble response from the owner really demonstrated the depth of character of this man.
As I pondered the reason why POTUS would «randomly» select here (did the secret service rely on Unilocal also?), I also started to notice many of the pictures, T-​shirts and letters of Thank you. Very near and dear to my heart, was the letter of from the Local Fire Chief asking patrons to consider supporting MDA and the «Fill the Boot» drive. What is clear, is the person who owns this restaurant has deep relationship with his community from what appears to be a generous heart.
The pizza arrived, with these thoughts contemplating in my head. The first bite in and I was rewarded. Of special note, the crust has a special springy lightness, that I have found in only one other pizza shop, who owner comes from Philly. Coincidence? Not sure, but I suspect that when I finally get to Philly, I will be seeking out this special type of crust.
In short — just go and enjoy!

I dont back Scott’s political views, but as for the food its always good, cant wait to get back home and eat there again… along with Votino’s

I wish I could say I am surprised your establishment was attacked by people who are in favor of small businesses, but I’m not surprised. This attack was not a boycott like the chikfila thing. These people are utterly lying. They went on-​line and thought of the most horrible things that could happen in a restaurant and then posted the lies as your review. That is not a boycott, it is another example of the fact that some of these radical Republicans can be not only hypocrites but liars. Romney and Ryan are not outside of the character and values of Republican radicals when they lie, it is the norm in those circles. Anyway, if you are thinking of trying Big Apple Pizza. Just go ahead and try it instead of reading reviews. Pay it forward, help someone who has the type of heart that would do the same for you. Try it out, then write your own truthful review. And tell the hugger I said hello.

I can’t truly review the place considering I’ve never eaten there. But next time I make it down that way I think I’ll stop in. I love trying small independant owned restaurants they put more care into their food as opposed to franchises.

Stopped here for a Pepperoni pizza for the kids and I while driving south on I95 headed for the Keys. We got it to go and WOW! Worth the detour. Best Pizza I’ve had in a long time.

I stopped by on my summer family vacation this year. I was surprised to find a pizza joint that actually has the new york flavor and being from the Bronx, I know what am taking about… Pizza was good, staff equally and prices were affordable. A family of 4 bill came to $ 25 and we were all stuff… Will definitely recommend it and return next time am in town.

We stopped by yesterday, on Labor Day, and were pleased to learn that the Monday-​Tuesday special (a large pie for $ 8.49) was in effect even on a holiday. We added artichokes as a topping for $ 1.75, and between the two of us we very nearly finished the 16-​inch pie. That’s especially impressive considering that my wife doesn’t usually like pizza. This one she liked.
She remembered the place from the early 2000s, back when the restaurant’s most famous guest was still in the Illinois State Senate, when she was going to IRCC. (Kids, that’s what your mother called IRSC back in the day. She pronounced it ‘irk’.) Since then, the Big Apple has gotten bigger, and has completely redecorated.
We weren’t quite sure whether to expect table service or counter service, since there was an ‘order here’ sign above the register but we were invited to choose a table and our server brought menus and took our order. Later, I refilled my own diet Pepsi from the fountain, but we also had refills brought to us. Maybe that’s because it was dinnertime; maybe it’s because my wife was using her crutches.
When the pizza arrived, we dug in. The crust was thin and crackled a little bit, like you’d expect from a New York style pie. Artichokes were scattered lightly around, but as my wife pointed out, the amount of artichokes you’d hope for is charged in most other places as a double topping — so we got a reasonable value for the money. If you want lots of artichoke, you can always order your 16″ pizza with double artichokes for an extra $ 3.50 instead of $ 1.75. Easy enough.
We were saddened that there was no lemon for the freshly brewed iced tea, not even packets of lemon juice. And when it was time to pile back into our car (which we just bought this weekend, and have not yet ruined), we hoped to have a plastic grocery sack to put our clamshell of leftovers into. A place that serves garlic knots really should have a leakproof takeout solution. But even missing those two things, we enjoyed ourselves and heard a great retelling of Big Apple’s big day.
Our server told the story well for someone who had just barely missed coming in on the day the Secret Service arrived to secure the place. She says the owner himself had even scolded the employee for interrupting his golf game, until he realized he really *did* need to get back to the store within an hour for the photo op of his life.
I might not come in off the links just for Big Apple Pizza, especially if I was only shooting 10 above par (per hole — hey, everyone starts somewhere). But I sure would return the next time I’m hungry in Fort Pierce.

Best Pizza around. Great service, staff, atmosphere, and owner. I would recommend it to anyone.

The wings here are amazing. Pizza is fantastic.
Screw these negative reviewers. Unilocal is not the place for political BS.

Best Pizza in the Port St Lucie West area by far!

Coming back from a weekend road trip Fort Pierce was the right distance in which to stop to get some grub. Kinda of in the mood for some tasty pizza, we launched Unilocal and it pointed us to Big Apple Pizza. It was just ok. Here’s the run down…
We ordered a large pizza, ½ mushroom and ½ sausage. We ordered a small Antipasto salad.
1) 2 garlic rolls came with the salad. They weren’t fully baked and in fact almost cold.
2) Salad was decent, and we ordered the house dressing (which was good). What threw me for a bit was that it was a pre packaged (ie commercial type) dressing, but it had big apple pizza’s name on it. This made sense now that I remember seeing on the menu that you could take a bottle of dressing home. The impression it left me however was that stuff was made a long time ago, not fresh in the kitchen today or yesterday. Just my perception, but not a good one however.
3) They used canned mushrooms. We are a bit of stickler on this. Mushrooms shouldn’t be green’ish.
4) I liked the sauce on the pizza. Sauce to me is the most important factor.
5) The cleanliness and upkeep of the restaurant was so so. Bathroom was decently clean, yet no soap. The soda machine was a bit broken. The buffet serving center looked a little run down.
Good enough for the pass through.

Decent food with a typical pizza shoppe look. Maybe it’s because of the time we came to eat or the dishes that we ordered, but it wasn’t exactly what we expected when going by the Unilocal reviews. The egg plant was definitely fresh but it was not cooked all the way through and my girlfriends chicken was somewhat chewy. Aside from the food, I respect what the owner is for his local community though! I give him two thumbs up for that!
