Phenomenal pizza...Like just unreal how their pizza is not like Barstool 10. We got 3 different pies and they were all outstanding....even just plain cheese was incredibly good. We also got a steak and cheese on their amazingly delicious homemade bread and it was excellent. While its only cash only...Its worth the cash. read more

When I see a bold five stars on yelp for a classic sandwich, the steak and cheese, I gotta see what's up, and this one delivers. However, it doesn't earn the full five or even four for me for two main reasons. One is I'm not particularly into cooper sharp cheese, it adds a unique flavor but it's strong and takes away from one of the best flavors of this sandwich which is the exceptional steak used. Second is this sub clocked in at nearly $20 (cash only too which is wild in 2026 but I get it , Uncle Sam and it's Taxachusetts) and is barely a foot long. While the taste is overall solid and unique, I don't think the value exactly fits its price tag. My favorite part about this sandwich is actually the roll it comes on, freshly made and the sesame seeds add a nice touch, but it's not enough to justify the price. Definitely worth the try if you haven't had it, but not good enough to guarantee you'll be coming back for what you're paying. Can't speak for the other items other than the steak and cheese read more

well let me start off by saying the nicest staff. This is a real pizza joint vibe 2 tables that's it now to the pizza and sandwich pizza solid 8.9 ask for the angry Roni pizza . We also got a chicken parm with pink vodka sauce blew my mind fresh chicken cutlets hand made and the reason why I came here in the first place the cooper sharp with the long hots just as good maybe better then Angelo's in Philly no lie . read more

Was craving a Big Al's steak and cheese so I made the ride. Also decided to try the chicken tenders, I had seen a picture and they looked delicious. The steak and cheese is perfection. The tenders are cutlets, huge and cooked perfect. The breading is flavorful and the chicken was so thin and moist. Only negative is they may be too salty. Sauces come on the side, so the chicken stays crispy, which I love. I ate half the steak and cheese and half of 1 tender and I am stuffed. I want to try other sandwich's on the menu, but how can you not order the steak and cheese. Need to get a group and order a bunch to split. Keep it Up Big Al's. read more

Small, mostly-take-out joint on a mostly residential road, with inventive pizzas by a chef of some renown (Tim Maslow, formerly of Strip T's in Watertown). Two booths. Cash only. No heat. -- Angry Roni Pizza: Made with vodka sauce, pepperoni, jalapeño slices and garlic, with the option of hot honey for an extra buck. I went for it and had no regrets. The crust is thin and well charred; not too much flavor in the crust beyond the char, but it's crisp, stays out of the way, and lets the toppings do their thing. Flavorful sauce and understated cheese. The pepperoni is strong (cupped both upward and downward), the jalapeños have a bite, and the hot honey balances everything out, adding some sweetness without dominating. You gotta like char to like this pizza. I do and I did. -- Onion Supreme Pizza: A mostly-finely-chopped, entirely-densely packed combo of bacon, fresh onion, and caramelized onion, yielding a sweet and savory addition to the basic cheese and tomato. I'm not gonna lie: I loved the flavors of this addition combo, but I didn't love how it obscured the cheese and tomato. Overall a good pie, but more of a novelty than something that's gonna scratch that pizza itch. For the record, the crust was less charred and right in the money. -- Steak and Cheese Sub: THIS is tremendous. So silky, so beefy, with the cheese at first glance looking like mere lubricant, but tons of sharp flavor in the Cooper sharp. Homemade seeded roll hugged everything. Gotta make sure to open and hold it seeded side down, because it's a canoe shape, not a top and bottom. So good. I've already had it twice and I'm pretty sure I'll be ordering this more than the pizza, for both flavor and logistics. -- Chicken Tenders: Four very cutlet-like pieces, about the size of a hand. Lightly seasoned, crisp, warm, and thick enough to still be juicy inside. Served with choice of dipping sauce, but these has some nice flavor already. -- Chocolate Chip Cookie: Great in every regard-- thick, soft, chewy, crispy, tasty dough, buttery, not too sugary, good chocolate-- except the densely piled big crystal salt in the center. I know that's "in," and I do like salt on my cookies a bit, but a BIT. This had too much. I'll still get it again though. Great addition to the area. Friendly service. Tough call between four and five stars. It's really close. read more

Phoned in Order just after 1:00. Was told about 20 minutes and 2 cheesesteaks were ready fairly close to that time. Friendly staff. Got mushrooms, onions, peppers in mine. Sesame bread was tops! Low oil/grease, which was great! Unlike other places that drip oil... very tasty sub! Recommend trying these. read more

Got a steak and cheese sub here with my father. He will eat anything because he is a cow but I am more selective... however it was one of the best steak and cheese subs I've ever had.

For $25 a pizza the toppings were barely there: flecks of onion, a few pieces of pepperoni and sausage. Order took nearly an hour. Average overall. And cash only is an inconvenience read more

Big Al's Pizza opened in the former location of Zesty's Pizza on Nashua Rd. (Rte 4) in West Billerica. People were raving about the pizza and the steak and cheese subs. We ordered a large pepperoni and a steak and cheese. They burned the original pizza so had to wait until they cooked another one. Normally I like thin italian pizza with a bit of a char on it but even the redone pizza was a little too well done for my taste. Also, a bit on the small side for a $22 pizza. The steak and cheese is extremely pricy at $18 but they use Cooper Sharp cheese and ribeye steak. It was ok but also a little on the overdone side. Honestly, I'd prefer 3 good $6 steak and cheese subs from Market Basket over 1 great $18 sub. Also, the weirdest part is they are a cash-only business. No credit-cards at all. Who does that in this day and age? The day we went we had to make a special stop at the bank just to make sure we had cash on us. I originally chalked it up to opening details but a year later they're still cash only. If Yelp allowed half-stars I'd probably give them 3 1/2 stars but since they don't I went with 4 in order to not shortchange them. Place seems extremely clean. Food is good but not sure I fully understand the hype. read more

Steak n Cheese is elite, often enough for 2 people. Pizza is good, though the sauce is touch too salty. Worth a visit without question.

Omg this is world class pizza. The cookies at this joint are better than sex: sea salt sprinkle, crispy outside, soft in the middle, chocolate gushing at the seams. 11 out of 10, 5 stars. World class stuff Big Al. God bless ya! read more

Steak and cheese with onions was definitely a loaded sesame seeded sub roll ... service was pleasant. Very busy establishment. I'd call ahead next time due to small waiting area. Two tables if you eat in. read more

Steak & cheese is the Angelo's essence style in Philly . Onions are sauté down a little bit, Cooper cheese & the sesame seed bread roll holds up to the filling ! Top notch well done Big Al's !! Service was great, the kid brought me my sub to go personally around counter . Decor is typical sub shop perfectly acceptable . Sour dough pizza can't be beat either . Place is jewel around here & anywhere . Awesome eats read more

Food - GREAT, cooked perfectly and with quality ingredients. Service - ABOVE-EXCELLENT I had a special event that I needed four large pizzas for outside of their hours to pick up early. Owner called me back and made a time I could come early to pick these up. Even though early there were already people there this is a very popular neighborhood pizza place. Very personable and connected service. Appreciate the extra effort. Will be back to try for myself. Ambiance - Well, in honesty. The look from the outside is why I haven't stopped having moved here almost 2 years ago. Very small in a dated shopping center with limited parking. I understand now why the parking is full at lunch. Definitely a takeout place, but a neighborhood stop. Worth the planning. No cards just cash, come prepared. read more

Stellar pizza, amazing sandwiches, friendly and family owned... I've been here repeatedly since they opened.... I'm so happy to give them my business. No notes. read more

We just moved here to Mass and found the nearest pizza place to our house for some takeout, not expecting much. Wow, were we wrong. This was some of the best pizza I've had anywhere, including places with James Beard awards. My test for pizza is that the crust should be good enough that I'd want to eat it plain, with nothing on it, as bread. Check. This is top quality deck oven style pizza. Everything is home made, down to the bread for the sandwiches. Well, not the cheese and the flour, but you get my meaning. Lots of creative pizzas that all actually work. They're thoughtful, not just creative for the sake of being creative. All I wish is that they were open on Monday and they weren't cash only. But that's not stopping me. I actually delayed doing this review, because I don't want them to get too popular. Sometimes the wait is already 90 minutes on Fridays. God help us if they get on Food Network. They should, but selfishly, I hope there's a delay! read more

This is the real thing. So great to have wonderful pizza close to home... only thing I should change is adding anchovies to the toppings list... other than that perfect pizza read more

Pizza was over cooked and wasn't very flavorful. The owners were very nice and the place was clean.

Special place! Amazing food. Steak and cheese is different here. Would definitely recommend the pizza.

Awesome. Steak and cheese sub and pepperoni pizza. Both fantastic. Worth the drive for sure
