My husband and I go here often and love it! The pizza sauce is great and the toppings are fresh. We love the food and the family who owns this pizzeria. Try the Big Awesome, it’s our favorite

Yummy pizza with fresh ingredients. I recently had the pizza called The Crate with broccoli, cauliflower, onions and jalapeños. It was so good and smothered in so many veggies it didn’t feel quite as sinful as pizza can but but still conquerors that pizza craving. Plus, having something that delivers out here is so convenient.

Big J’s is hands down the best pizza around! We love the pizza, but the calzones are to DIE for, amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone! Today we got a Large pizza with mushrooms, linguisa, and pepperoni and were not disappointed.

Big J stands for big Jerk! We love the pizza from this place and are glad that it is our local pizza but the owner is a jerk. We have ordered in the past only to have the wrong pizza delivered. When we called to let them know, he told us it had extra toppings on it and we should be glad. But I’m allergic to mushrooms! Anyway we returned it and he wants to charge us full price for the replacement after the hour plus wait. He will also not deliver calzones even if you order half a dozen. Today we wanted to try the downtown special we have a coupon for but wanted to add sausage(as a full price topping). NO. No? Well you don’t have a sale today. If you want to cut off your nose to spite your face we are happy to order from Pizza One in Aptos. Pizza Nazi… Suck it!

Amazing pizza. Great service, and there’s not a huge wait since it isn’t a very big pizza place, which is great. Love the location and it’s a great place when you’re having either late or early cravings for pizza. Highly recommended.

I have loved Big J’s for a long time – at least 15 years. We order pizza from them at least a couple of times a month. Their owner, Pete, doesn’t just make a pizza you can get«anywhere.» It’s thick, soft, crispy, and has all the right stuff! The sauce has changed in the past couple of years. it used to be a bit more spicy – perhaps more garlic, pepper, chilli in it. I LOVED that sauce. Now the sauce is still good, but not AS outstanding as it once was. For me, the sauce MADE those pizzas UNIQUE and I’m not someone that normally loves/ed spicy stuff a lot. BRINGBACKTHEOLDSAUCEASANOPTION on the menu~ Great place, great people, always friendly, Great pizza, salads, calzones, pasta, and other stuff. What more could you want! And NOT even close to the most expensive place in town!

This place is like a short getaway. Calzones in the mountains. Take a short drive, sit in the patio and kick your feet up to enjoy the mountain scenery while you wait. I think it’s «J himself» cooking these top notch calzones in his small pizza workstation. He’s a rather cranky old man, whipping up some delicious tasting food. The calzone crust is perfectly browned and buttery outside and soft and steamy inside. It’s a perfect calzone, every time. My only gripe is that one time he flat out refused to give my Mom extra sauce to dip her extra crust. Mean ol’ man! Lol… heaven forbid anyone ask for something special there. Hmmpf!

Pizza is not my favorite. But Big J’s pizza is. The crust is so yummy. I usually like thin, slightly burnt crust… but I am so loving this thicker crust. The edges of the crust are thicker, so it’s almost like a crust«Handle». The toppings on our Awesome large pizza were fresh and generous. Definitely going to be a regular customer.

The secret is in the sauce. I do enjoy the«other» local pizza place on Freedom Blvd., but Big J’s has them beat on the one aspect of a pizza that makes it or breaks it; the sauce. Finding just the right balance of bright, sweet, and spicy is no mean feat but Big J’s has done it. I have no idea where they get their pepperoni, but it also stands out. And I love that they carry RC Cola. I thought they’d gone out of business years ago, so it’s nice to see that again. Definitely worth the trip.

This place is freaking awesome! The pizza is so good! I really like the crust. Every time my boyfriend comes to visit he craves big j’s pizza. Calzones are superb! I just ordered for take out. Our favorite pizza place!

Big J. I am a fan. I LOVE pizza. I think it might be the best food of all time and if I had to choose one food to eat everyday for the rest of my life pizza would be it. My boyfriend and I got Big J’s last week because we were too lazy to drive into town for Round Table and we will be back. We got one of their vegetarian pizzas and were pleasantly surprised plus it is super convenient if you live in Corralitos. This is deep dish style pizza so the crust is super thick and I think some of the toppings go under the cheese. I like to drizzle honey on the crust end as a special treat(a tip I picked up while eating at a pizza place in San Francisco). This place is mainly for take out and the only tables are outside. To summarize Pizza is good, convenient and local… definitely a business with a soul.

Ok first off this is NOGEM… this place is more like garbage… i would rather eat dominoes or pizza hut any day… the owner is mean and stubborn i live in corralitos and i have now eatten here 3 time’s two of the times it was pizza and third was a calzone i don’t know if you guys work for this guy or what. i called last night and i wanted a calzone and some chicken wings… the lady that i was ordering from said i had to order a pizza as well to deliver…(owners rules) i said i don’t like you’re guys pizza! i wanted to try a calzone and i will order wings as well total still is 20+ dollars ok so after me complaining for ten min the owner finally said ok he will do it… so this calzone was UNDERCOOKED + burnt on the bottom how is that possible? and greasy grossness, I gave it three trys i’m never going back again! And the owner tried to argue with me about putting my pepperoni’s on top of the pizza not under the cheese(i like them dry/crunchy) not a puddle of grease under more cheese grease, any ways ya avoid this shit hole place! NEVERGOINGBACK! I can make way better pizza from scratch i should open up a pizza place here in corralitos that guy sucks! oh ya my chicken wings… soggy as hell black/burnt under them… and frozen or microwaved not fresh at all… If people really think this is good pizza then you guys have very unrefined pallets for food/pizza. Pizza my heart… tony and albas, pacific ave pizza and grill all A+. Ya i still have 80% of my calzone in my fridge and i ate 2 of the chicken wings it was all disgusting… i’m tossing it right now… waist of time and $ date is 7÷24÷11 low quality ingredients, i bet this guys kitchen is filthy… he needs to watch some kitchen nightmares… I gave him three try’s …strike it’s funny how no one post about big Js pizza(in years) then two days later… this guy gives it 5 stars and says it’s the best! it’s obvious he’s a paid bot or knows the owner or it’s a fake profile all together but ya it’s not good pizza don’t waste you’re money here people… i’m not just saying it it’s a(fact) it’s trash.

Okay, so we have been passing Big J’s up lately for some reason and last night decided to get our pizza here. I don’t know why we haven’t been eating here more often? The pizza was delicious! Got The Downtown and were completely satisfied. Big J’s we will be back to support you.

Really! This local gem needs to be supported. The guys at work rant & rave about how good it is everytime I pick it up for them. Always good. The owners are awesome. I hear the calzones are awesome… definitely have to try that one soon.
