I love love this pizza! I guess I'm partial though since it is just like the pizza I grew up eating in little towns in Maine, New Hampshire, usually owned by New Yorker transplants. The crust is crusty, the sauce is delicious, and the pizza tastes awesome! The restaurant is family owned and run and you can tell they put a lot of love into it! This is my favorite pizza in the Charlotte area hands down! read more

I have eaten many pizzas in my day and this by far the best in Charlotte... Being from from NY this was just like being home again... Kudos to the pizza chef.... read more

I walked in not knowing what to expect and was greeted by smiling faces. They ladies working were the ones making the pizzas. One chatted with us while we waited for our meat pizza. She was really funny! The pizza was SO good. Perfect amount of cheese and meats. Not too much sauce. Crust was crispy. I will be back very soon!! read more

This is definitely the best pizza place in the area, the lunch special is a fantastic value. The employees are very attentive and pleasant, clean environment with a decent choice in music and obviously great pizza. Want pepperoni they got it, extra cheese BOOM done broccoli? Yeah that's weird but they will put er on there for you.. first time here and for sure not the last ! read more

They have great Pizza, almost like New York Pizza. I always order the large pizza to go. I am so glad I found a place with good pizza. I don't like chain pizza to much. I have tried thier spaghetti and meatballs, they are not that great, the meatballs have no flavor and the pasta had too much water in the bottom on the plate. I just go there for the Pizza. read more

Awesome pizza every time. Had a calzone last night from there last night that reminded me of the great stuff I got from my hometown of Philadelphia. A great take-out place. Inside atmosphere is OK, but I prefer to take it home and have a great family meal in front of the T.V. read more

Staff is always helpful but the pizza is so greasy and not worth the prices they have. Would rather go elsewhere.

Their lunch special is unbelievable! You get a HUGE, did I mention HUGE slice of pizza with a drink for $5.99! I like pizza places that sell by the slice...sometimes that's all I want. I don't usually eat the crust on pizza, but at this place I do! The crust tastes like homemade bread. read more

This was soooo good! The pizza crust was crispy on the bottom but not burnt. Perfect sauce and the toppings were so good. I got a supreme pizza with pepperoni, Italian sausage, bell peppers and black olives. There was so much flavor on this pizza. I ordered the 18inch half without cheese. I would eat in, because it is best fresh out the oven. A little expensive for great quality pizza. read more

Best pizza in Mint Hill. Family owned, friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. Sports TV in the background, and be sure to order the chicken wings while you are there! read more

Only reason I give 4 stars is because I am from Chicago and Chi Style pizza is the best. Very good NY Style pizza, there aren't many good pizza places in Charlotte, this one is good trust me. You won't be disappointed at the end of the day that's what you want in a pizza restaurant. The ladies were very nice to me as well. read more

we ordered pizza and wings today for delivery.....when we ordered the wings, we told them we wanted 2-10 wing orders as advertised ......when it was delivered it was only 2-8 wing orders and the pizza....we called and the manager was very rude and wasnt going to do anything about it....she just bitch about how much wings were costing her......which is not my business......i cant help her there....i ordered 2-10wings orders....i wonder if she is cutting every ones order down.....i guess its order and pay for 10 but you only going to get 8 wings......really dont think we will be ordering there any more......to many pizza/wings places in mint hill read more

Got the party-size pizza. It was enormous! Very tasty! Definitely will be back.

This place is absolutely amazing. Great ny style pizza. Great owners and staff always friendly I live in rock hill now and still drive down here for good pizza. read more

Just grabbed a early dinner at this place and it was excellent. I had the mozzarella sticks which were very tasty and not over battered and a slice of Hawaiian pizza. This place has the largest slices of NY style pizza I have ever come across in the Charlotte area. The pizza they cut them off of is a huge 28" pie and pulling just 8 slices from each pie makes for some gut busting eating. Also, the slices themselves only cost 3$ for the cheese and for another 50 cents each you can add toppings to make whatever combination you'd like. I know its NY style but I usually like a little extra sauce on my pizza but irregardless it was still awesome all the way around. read more

This place continues to impress with it's pizza. I'll say it is a little pricey but it's worth it. Ordered a 14" pepperoni to go on Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice crust and great flavor. read more

You want big this is the place for you. You can get a pizza that will cover an entire folding card table and it's not just a novelty, the pizza is actually good. They don't deliver that far and if you have large group somethings things take longer then they should. read more

With a slew of franchise pizza places in the neighborhood, this is a really good pizza spot. Pizza is always good after ordering here several times. They never disappoint read more

First - Big Guys in Mint Hill has great pizza. Really great pizza. Wings also good here. Staff has always been very friendly. I've never eaten in but we get pizza/wings for take out all the time. It is slightly pricey when you get into adding lots of toppings but just cheese pizza is great. Really no complaints. It's my choice of pizza places in the Mint Hill/Matthews area every time. read more

Decent pizza...but honestly NOT a fan of the oversized slices...like seriously who wants a super sized slice? rather have two normal size slices...overpriced for sure. read more

Best Pizza in Charlotte, not just Mint Hill. Large pies with great flavor. Can't say much for the to-go spaghetti. Watery and rather tasteless sauce. We strained it and made a butter-garlic sauce for the kids to eat. But, the name is Big Guys PIZZA. The pizza is outstanding. I would take nothing away from it. read more

Pizza is fantastic and very authentic. The wings are pretty good, too. Then only issue we have had is with the heros/hoagies. The quality of the bread is not the best. They need something more dense for their meatball heroes, as they will fall apart. The ingredients in these heroes have been good quality, however. read more

Ordered a party pizza and a supreme for the Super Bowl. Was absolutely fantastic. Can't wait to go back for more.

I have ordered the pizza in the past and almost always enjoyed it but the one yesterday was very inferior. I don't think there was even an ounce of sauce on it and it seemed to have a slight burnt taste. The young girl was friendly. read more

Still catching up on reviews. This was a hard one to rate. Yelp should add half star options as I feel it deserved better then 3 stars but not 4 stars. Folks are very nice. Service very slow. I mostly get take out orders from them while asking 'how long', depending on the time of day, before In should arrive to pick up. They normally say approx 30min. Wanting my food hot, I always get there at 20-25 minutes as Id prefer to be a tad early and wait a couple minutes, leaving with hot food, rather then arrive with my meal already done and just sitting on the counter. Yet every order I've placed has taken over 1 hour. Many of these orders are at times where I am literally the only customer, in between lunch and dinner. Nobody eating in and nobody other then me picking up takeout. Thankfully the folks working there are nice, so I at least can chat with them as I wait, rather then staring at the walls. On to the food. Pizza. Not bad. Not NY Style, but closer to NY Style then others. Sauce had good flavor.Decent crust. Overall 4 stars on the pizza. If your expectations are reasonable, you should enjoy the pizza. Wasnt overly impressed with some of their main dishes. Pasta was overcooked and watery in every pasta dish I've had (pasta should be al dente...cooked just enough to be firm). Flavor was very bland on not only the pasta, but the main dishes as well. If your expecting garlic, your wondering where the garlic flavor is. Pretty much the same with all their dishes. Just bland....Nothing that says 'great, cant wait to come back'. Just ok. Portion sizes are fair, but overpriced comparing to others establishments. If the dishes had great flavor and weren't so hum drum, the prices would be fine, but you cant give out small portions, lacking in quality and flavor and expect to charge 4 or 5 star prices. Its strange that the pizza/sauce has good flavor, but for whatever reason, the main dishes lack that flavor. The Subs again, disappointed. Not bad, but again, overpriced and nothing to get excited about. Prices are about $7 for a basic 8inch sub with cheeze. Tomato and all other toppings are .75 each. Add 2 or 3 toppings that are typically included in most subs and your now at $10 for an 8inch sub, that is still more bread then meat/cheese/toppings. Lots of places have 13inch loaded monster subs for less money. A $10+sub should fill you up. A $10+sub should also be 13inches and filling. $10+ for an 8inch sub that will leave you hungry is just not right.. The bread is good, but for the $'s, they need to have a better bread/meat/fillings/toppings ratio. I love good bread. But I dont want the bread to overwhelm the meats, cheeses and etc. Again, charging 4 and 5 star prices, should deliver a 4 or 5 star product.$10+ for a small sub is absurd. Id be happy with the 8inch, and even at $10+, but it would have to be fully loaded and filling. Paying $10+ dollars for a sub that is small, more bread then anything, that leaves you still hungry is unsatisfactory, imo. Overall, I guess 3 stars is fair. The folks are nice, so 4.5 stars for that. The service is way too slow so that gets 2 stars (if your not busy and have employees walking around acting bored, why does it take over an hour to get a pizza?) The pizza I give 4 stars. Not the best, but pretty decent. The main dishes and subs are about 2- 3 stars at best. If in the area, I wouldnt hesitate to rec stopping in for the pizza, but its not worth going out of your way for. Lots of good pizza places popping up, and Mint Hill is crazy. Its Mint Hill after all, yet there seems to be good quality pizzeria's popping up all over the place. And if in Charlotte/Matthews, there are plenty of pizza places as good/better and cheaper. So, if your in Mint Hill, try it out and compare to others. If you find yourself there at lunch, maybe stop in for a couple slices. Worth trying if your close, but not worth going out of your way for. Happy eating... read more

Best pizza in town. Big slices, friendly service. Plus, they give back to the community which is a plus in my book.

At a time when we are asked to support local restaurants because of the virus crisis, this restaurant manager has gone customer-tone-deaf. I needed a delivery to Enclaves - DIRECTLY across from Shannamara. I am told he does not deliver to Enclaves. Mind you, I am DIRECTLY across from the subdivision that he does deliver to, and the driving distance would be EXACTLY the same. All I got was a sense of rudeness from his staff and him. When I told him I would leave a Yelp review, he said I was 'threatening' him - I guess he figures Yelp is only for the people in Shannamara to leave 5 stars. The man obviously has no business savvy - I will find a local business who cares about a customer and knows what building a relationship means. A few minutes after my telephone encounter with him ended, I got an irate call from a woman at his establishment saying something to the effect that I was in someway out of line asking for a delivery and asking them to consider 'turning left' off Stevens Mill to deliver to my house. What! I've lived in Mint Hill for over 40 years and have always supported local business. This one does not need my money and before you get treat in the same fashion, spend your money elsewhere. Hawthornes makes great pizza. read more

Best NY style pizza by far. Great sizes. Perfect amount of everything I want on a cheese pizza. (I'm a pizza purist. Just cheese and sauce please) Tried a cannoli and was not disappointed. DELISH!! Go Giants!!! read more

Great NY style pizza;the 28'' is fun to get due to its sheer size. I have also tried the Penne ala Vodka and it was by far the best I have had in this area. My wife loves the anti pasta salad and tends to get it every we go to Big Guys. The decor of the restaurant makes me feel at home. read more

I've been going to Big Guys since I was a kid. Their pizza always delivers in terms of flavor and their staff is like family. They remember our order just by my name on the phone! I recommend getting slices, and bacon is a great topping. Keep it up Big Guys! You rock! read more

The food is great, the service is horrible. I understand that it's a Mom and Pop place that employs high school students and maybe family members, but the service is slow and disorganized whether in house or delivery. Great news for them, food is great...I wish they could figure out how to train staff that deals with public. read more

Very good pizza, pretty basic, no bells and whistles or modern/gourmet pizza, just good, classic pizza pie. The rest of the menu is a bit limited, but if you're just looking for pizza, this place is a good bet. The greek salad is also pretty good, heavy on the feta and black olives, which I love, and onions, which I don't, but are chunky enough to be picked off. If you are having a party for kids, you can go for the huge take out rectangle pizza, but I wouldn't order that for adults (as most pieces are inside slices, without crust)The restaurant itself isn't much in the way of atmosphere, so we've done take out, or in years past delivery. If you want take out pizza in Mint Hill, this is a great alternative to Hawthorne's. And it's nice to support a local, small business. read more

Pizza was good until I found hair in my food. I called back up there to let them know and was asked "what was they suppose to do?" I guess he thought I wanted something free but I was just advising them of the problem. I will never eat there again due to this rude employee.. read more

Great food, horrible service. The kid at the counter talked over me when I placed my order. Of course, the order came out wrong. Instead of fixing it, he argued with me and insisted I didn't know what I ordered. read more

the pizza was okay , I had better like Brooklyn pizza . The staff over charge my mom for the lunch special . I don't know why she didn't say anything about it . But we wont be going back , We will stick to Brooklyn Pizza read more

The pizza is delicious, great sauce and thin NY style crust (I'm from the northeast). The mozzarella sticks are also really good. A little pricey, but worth it. Ordered delivery and it didn't take an obscene amount of time. read more

Finally, found a new pizza place in Mint Hill! It's probably been here awhile, but I never tried it until this weekend. They have the huge 26" pizza, which is great for a party (box barely fits through the front door - reminds me of Jersey shore boardwalk pizza). We got the wings dry, with sauce on the side and they were great. For the amount of food, and quality...it's a win. Delivery was fast as well. Good find... read more

Not fancy, not pretentious, just good old fashion NY pizza in a casual setting. Good food,good people.

Good and dependable family pizza spot! Come here often carry out and eat in with family of kids. Great service and food. Try the buffalo bites if you are skipping your diet! read more

I have filed a report with the BBB, as well as with BOA! These folks demonstrated poor customer service when I called and explained that the 2 orders mozzarella sticks weren't suffice. First off they failed to give sauce for 10 sticks. Secondly, I spoke with Janet Muller's daughter, she explained that they're baked, not fried, as if that mattered. She told me she hasn't had a single complaint in the 13 years of business, I said consider this your first. Lastly, she TRIED to give me credit for 1 order. That would have been ok had I only paid for one, but I didn't. Finally, she said she'd give me credit for both. Tuesday morning, no $11.98 credit in my account. I called and left a message. Approximately 10:30am I received a call back from them. She explains that the credit was for IN STORE, and I told her we have no plans of returning. She said we'd need your card here physically, so I said I'll be right over! Then she said "I cannot refund you because it has to be on the same day( this past friday)". I said your daughter sure as hell didn't offer a refund the same day of service. Janet told me to dispute it with my bank, and I already have! I left them a TERRIBLE review on Google reviews, as from what I was reading their business is declining due to shitty service. Take a hint, and get off your high horse! Your food isn't that great... read more
