    a pizza box
    Steve T.

    In search of a good local Chicago style deep dish pizza, I decided to give Big City Pizza a shot this week, having seen theme listed on a FB foodies group as a purveyor. And frankly I was delighted! The "Chicago Stuffed" pizza was very thick, of course, with a buttery crust, as is traditional for Chicago deep dish. The tomato was very tangy, more akin to tomato paste, in terms of flavor than typical pizzas. I ordered it with pepperoni, sausage, and garlic, my go-to pizza toppings. And the cheese, can't leave out the cheese. It was loaded with cheese, the kind that makes for a big stretch when you pull a slice out. Yum! They build the pizza with a homemade dough base, then cheese, then toppings, then another layer of cheese, and their hose-made pizza sauce. I also ordered the Big City House Salad, which I recommend. Pretty basic, it comes with tomatoes, bacon, and mozzarella cheese. I'm not always in the mood for such an indulgent pie, but it's nice to know where to get one locally. Give em a shot!

    I ordered a pizza from Big City last week through the Eat Street app. It was convenient and I didn't have to wait long when I got there to pick it up. During Covid they are bringing the food out to your car so you have to call or knock on the door when you arrive. The pizza was just like any average pizza. Nothing to complain about but it wasn't memorable either. We got the deluxe pizza with pepperoni and sausage and a few veggies. I mainly ordered from here because it was close by. I would order again.

    We liked their burger week burger. The bun was cold that was the only thing I would have changed about the burger. Probably one of our favorite burgers during burger week. The fries were a little underdone but still edible.

    Craving a new pizza experience, my friend and I used to Yelp app to select Big City Pizza, and we very much enjoyed it! The bread sticks and the pizza we tried were really good! That said, the star of our visit was their Calzone - it was nothing short of incredible :-) For dessert we got a huge cookie that had obviously just been freshly baked; we ate it and it was warm; a really nice finish to an great meal. Service was friendly and quick, and the prices were reasonable; combine that with the quality of their food and I'm sure we'll be back!

    This is my go to spot whenever I'm craving pizza. Their service is amazing and their pizza is very good good. They have 3 locations in the area. One in Nicholasville, Lexington on Chinoe. and Richmond. Pizza is always hot whenever you get it delivered or pick up. They have been doing great with contact less pick up and delivery. My recommendations is the Chicago Stuff, Cheese Sticks, and the Mac and Cheese pizza

    So, after being suggested by a friend, we ordered from Big City. Unfortunately, something came up and we had to leave before we could eat. The hubs at two pieces of the pizza on the run and liked it. Today, it's going to be brunch. I've taken pictures of before being reheated. Not thrilled with how the sandwich looks. Had I eaten it last night, I'd have had to eat mostly all bread on the ends or redistributed the myself.

    If you are looking for a good quality, basic pizza Big City fits the bill. A previous reviewer nailed it though when they said Big City was a better version of Papa Johns. The pizza is good and loaded with toppings but doesn't stand out much. Delivery took a while longer than expected but considering there was a near monsoon outside I can't complain. I am interested in trying out the Chicago deep dish on another visit since there aren't really many options in the area for a good Chicago style pie.

    Probably more like a 4.5 as I was close to saying 5 stars. I had heard of a Chicago stuffed pizza in a local Facebook group but didn't see it on the menu and could not find it online to order. I called in and mentioned it... to my surprise yes they have a Chicago stuffed and it was excellent! I love Chicago style pizza and this one didn't disappoint. Buttery crisp crust with a ton of cheese, pepperoni (my choice of topping today) and a very tasty pizza sauce on top made this my new favorite pizza in town. I'll be going back for more. We also had the cheese sticks and they were better than most I've had. Can't wait to go back as I'd like to try some others on the menu like their pan and New York style but I'm not sure I'll be able to pass up ordering the Chicago stuffed.

    Hubby and I are recent transplants from Huntsville, AL We looked at online pictures and Big City Pizza caught our eye, the restaurant looked to have a good vibe. Due to some medical problems, we chose to have our food delivered. The first time we tried Big City Pizza, we had the SOHO pizza and The Bronx pizza. The hand tossed crust is pretty good. But the toppings on the SOHO seemed to be lacking. It was still good enough to give Big City a second chance. Tonight we ordered the Bronx again because the husband likes it. That's where the two stars comes from. I had the Antipasto salad and the central Park Veggie Sub. Very disappointed! The presentation of my sandwich was good. It was delivered hot and fresh and when I opened it up I was pleasantly surprised at how yummy it looked. Then, I looked inside the bread and major disappointment set in. I ate the sandwich because, well, I was hungry. It was more like bread with a hint of mushroom and I think I tasted artichoke in one bite but I'm not sure because it was just a faint hint. The pictures will show what I'm talking about. The antipasto salad could have been good but I pulled out most of the lettuce. Even with the lettuce gone, it still lacked anything special. I've had much better. I'm sad because Big City just looks like a cool place. The menu is exciting and sounds delicious but the food isn't cutting it. Perhaps this was an isolated incident because I know the restaurant business can have "off" nights. We all know sh*t happens. Regardless, I'm not sure we will give Big City a third try...

    The pizza is fine, but it always takes 20-30 mins longer than the estimated time they give you.

    If you're on the hunt for legit Chicago-style food, do yourself a favor and go to South of Wrigley…read moreimmediately. We are always searching for a truly great Italian beef, and this one? Elite. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly messy. The kind of sandwich that requires extra napkins and zero shame. It's hands down the best Italian beef we've had around here. We also ordered a chili dog and the tallow fries. Let me just say: these were the best fries I have ever eaten in my life. Crispy on the outside, fluffy inside, perfectly salted...and you absolutely do NOT need ketchup. In fact, ketchup would just get in the way of their glory. The place was packed, which is always a good sign. It's a small dining area but we were able to get a table. We waited about 20 minutes for our food, and I would've waited 40. Totally worth it. If you like bold flavors, no-frills vibes, and food that makes you consider canceling your other dinner plans for the week, this is your spot.

    HIGH PRAISE! I'd never had an Italian Beef sammie til now, and holy sh!t!! This sandwich and the…read moretallow fries are fandamntastic!! And one of the messiest delicious things ever.

You can only order/pick up food from here, there is no dining in, but not that you would want to. Also the menu is limited, but again, food quality for the price point is great. So if you're in the mood for Thai food in Lexington, do yourself a favor and get it at NAT's. It is located right past the back garden of Harvey's and before the Irish Shoppe and McCarthy's, if you're coming South.

    O.M.G....I have found the authentic Thai restaurant in Kentucky -- Nat's is it!!…read more Nat's is a very unassuming lil takeout only restaurant tucked into the side of McCarthy's Irish Bar and shares a front entrance with an Irish gift shop. It sounds odd, but totally worked! My friend and I walked up one afternoon, ordered food inside the restaurant, was told by the owner to "go next door, order a drink and he will bring the food over". We went to McCarthy's, ordered a couple of Pepsi and sat in the cutest nook by the window. Our orders arrived soon: Kobe beef grapao, shrimp salad. Wow! The flavors are sharp, distinct and intense, like Thai flavors are supposed to be. I would say the grapao's spice level is about medium for me. The salad was so spicy that I couldn't finish it. If you have the tendency to want "Thai Hot" in your dishes, this is the place that can serve it up! If you look at the photos poated by other Yelpers, you'll see many other special menu items not found at any other local Thai places. i cannot wait to come back for them! Btw, there is also a nice courtyard next door w available seating during warmer months.
