Such a disappointment from start to finish & I'm so bummed to be leaving this review! Staff just didn't give the 'welcome' vibe. I ordered the antipasto salad. I specifically asked if the small salad is more like an appetizer & if the medium really feeds 2-3 as stated on the menu. I went with the medium size antipasto. I could not believe what they set down in-front of me. The medium is literally the size of an appetizer. I felt completely ripped off. They even set down 4 bowls to split the salad, that was comical. They don't cut the meat or cheese, looks like sandwich size pieces they cut into 4ths. The pesto pasta is awful, so much pesto that it's overpowering. Pizza is mediocre at best. My 2 stars are for the fettuccini Alfredo, at least they picked a decent jar of Alfredo sauce to dump over the pasta. read more

We love the pizza here! Ordered sausage and pepperoni, and antipasto salad. The kids devoured it! Perfect place to get out of the cold and get great hot food into your tummy! The staff is super friendly and although they were busy, the food didn't take long and we sat down right away. I'll go here instead of Saucy Mamas every time because you will save money and don't need to wait forever for the service. read more

Maggio's Pizza - Welcome! - Pizza Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

I placed a large phone order with Maggio and made sure to go slowly--giving one item at a time and waiting for confirmation before moving on. Unfortunately, my item was the last one and it ended up being made incorrectly. I asked for fettuccine with both Alfredo and pesto sauce, but only received pesto. I was really looking forward to that combination, so it was disappointing. I understand things can slip through with big orders, but I hope extra care can be taken with the final items in the future. The rest of the order was fine, but this part left me a little bummed. read more

I have never encountered such rude and disrespectful service in a restaurant before. If you enjoy being treated poorly, then by all means, visit this place!! The waitresses here act as if customers are an inconvenience rather than the reason they have jobs. Here's what happened: I went to get some water from the dispenser, where there was only one plastic cup left. Naturally, I used it. Minutes later, a waitress (the blonde) approached me and rudely snapped, "You weren't supposed to touch that cup! It was ours!" I immediately apologized, but she just walked away without another word. Then, I grabbed a couple of napkins from a nearby table--because, well, I needed napkins. Another waitress (the brunette) barked at me, "Hey, you're not supposed to touch those! We have a sign there for a reason!" Excuse me? A tiny handwritten 4x6 sign that no normal person would even notice? If napkins and plastic items are off-limits, why leave them out in the open? The way your staff treats paying customers is disgraceful. No one should walk into a restaurant and feel like they're being scolded like a child over minor, harmless actions. It's beyond unprofessional--it's flat-out embarrassing! As a repeat customer, this restaurant lost my business for good, and I truly hope you, as the owner, wake up and hire staff who understand the meaning of "hospitality". Because right now, your employees are actively driving customers away! read more

From the moment you walk in- the kitchen pulls you in! The lady and young guy at the front were so warm and welcoming. Even though we had to order to take out because they were gonna close, the experience was great! The food when we got back to our rental was absolutely delicious! Lasagna, pizzas, marinara, garlic bread, salad.. everything was just sooo good!! Thank you Maggio's! So glad we found you!!! You will be our forever go to Italian when we visit BBear. read more

Was excited to go have dinner here but it turned out a big waste of money. Food is old and not fresh. Sausage tastes like dry paper. Salad is old and dying. Toppings just fall off the pizza. Nobody ever check up on us. Poor low quality food and do not recommend to anyone. read more

I was actually seated and waiting for my order (the food was and always is AMAZING) when I witnessed YOU BEING RUDE to the very overworked staff. The counter girl was trying to help multiple people and said she would be with u in a moment. U then stood at the counter, glaring and fuming, and made a rude comment to the only other person working the counter during their busy dinner rush. And u failed to mention how u then stuck ur finger into the food and threw the order tablet book on the ground as u huffed ur way out. My husband picked up the paper tablet and apologized for a complete stranger's inability to comprehend YOUR rudeness. Hmmmmmm...STAY HOME and learn some manners. read more

We visited on a busy evening and every employee we encountered was so friendly, helpful, and welcoming.

We were attended to throughout our meal and everyone was very accommodating. We will definitely be back. read more

Pizza took over a half hour to reach our table. I actually think they forgot it was ours. It arrived warm, not hot. Pizza was very good and they are generous with the toppings. We just waited a long time for a pizza that didn't arrive hot. Wouldn't hurt to play some music or some background noise of any kind. read more

We had ordered a basil and artichoke pizza and it was delicious. We came back to order again. Still delicious.

AVOID. Search for another pizza place close by, don't come here. I give it one star because the meatball sub is ok, the rest of the food we had here was a waste of money. Some of it we just threw in the trash. I'll go over the 4 items we ordered. The chicken wings, not good. We ordered them dry with sauce on the side. They came covered in a gross red sauce. The wings themselves were slimy and fatty. When you order dry, deep fried wings you expect crispy wings. No thank you. Next, we had the meatball sub. The meatballs tasted like they came out of your local grocery store freezer. The sauce was watery and flavorless, seemed like it came straight out of a can of diced tomato sauce. We think they threw the ingredients into the put and then melted the cheese. The bread itself wasn't toasted, so the inside of the sandwich was soggy, it fell apart. The cheese helped to make it edible, we finished it with forks and dirty hands, as the sandwich exploded. Next we had the original house specialty pizza. Once again, a failure. We were happy to see a pizza with so many veggies and meat that we like. The crust was way too thick. I'm not sure if it's made in house or from a food service company. Either way it was thick and chewy like cardboard. Also, where's the cheese. We thought this pizza would be loaded, it was not. There were a good amount of toppings, but barely any cheese. We also threw this in the trash. Lastly, the chicken Parmesan. They should take this off of the menu, or maybe do a better job. Imagine that you pull an oversized chicken breast from the freezer for dinner and defrost it. You'll then want to cut it in half to work with it. They took an oversized chicken breast, baked it and that's it. They then put it in a to go container, right next to extremely overcooked pasta noodles with the same horrible tomato sauce that they use on the meatball sub. The cheese did its best to help cover the horrible chicken. I took a few bites and this dish also ended up in the trash. Neither of us liked it. The chicken was huge, dry and we had to chew it like there was no tomorrow before swallowing it, and needing water to wash it down. Let me be clear, the chicken has no breading, the breast was dry on the thick part of chicken and the small part of the chicken was even worse. Check the menu and see how much money we wasted. I don't mind paying too dollar for food. But this was a shame all around. We will never be back. Buyer beware. read more

I had higher expectations for the lasagna, but unfortunately it lacked meat and cheese. With better ingredient balance, it could be much better. read more

Not sure what all the bad reviews are about. My experience was great!! Pizza was delicious, salad was good. The service was very warm and welcoming. It was a busy Memorial Day weekend and the whole experience was fantastic. The younger guy working the floor was very friendly and quick to grab whatever we needed. The lady working the counter was sweet and kind, she was making my baby laugh and smile and had a very welcoming smile. read more

Great pizza with excellent service. We also love their salads. Cute inside, they have a very large menu! You can pickup or eat there.

Great food, kind staff. We love their pizza dough for homemade pizzas, but even when we dine in the food is wonderful.

During my visit to big bear I was craving some good pizza. I came to Maggio's and it was amazing. The crust on the pizza was a little crunchy and had a crisp to it that made it that much more amazing. Slices are big We also ordered a meatball sandwich and the bread was made there. Meatballs were flavorful and it was topped with a good layer of cheese. Service was great the ladies were very kind and welcoming and the young man was attentive My favorite part of the whole place was the music choice. It was pure and family friendly I will definitely be coming back. read more

We came in around 3 p.m. We wanted to sit in, but they told us that there was a long wait and we should get a take out. It took one hour and 20 minutes to get the Pizza. When i mentioned it to the employee that i was told that i was told that the pizza was going to be ready in 45 munutes. She said that they were busy and she was rude about it. The Pizza was okay, but was not a big deal. You could get a similar pizza somewhere else much faster and better customer service. Definitely not coming back. read more

The pizza was a soggy wet mess in the middle. No bueno. Always a wait. Not always with it.

Pizza Pizza, Read all about it! We arrived later than expected to Beautiful Big Bear Mountain and the last we wanted to do was make dinner. After a very long 3+ hour drive sitting in Friday night traffic, we just wanted something simple, fast and easy for both us and for the kids. If you're a parent, or even a college student... You know exactly what we went with: Pizza!!! So onto Yelp we went and there it was 'MAGGIO's' Pizza, located just a few miles from our vacation rental. Being that it was a Friday night and probably lots of other people getting away for the weekend, it's not surprising we were told it would be about an hour until our Pizza, Mozzarella Sticks and Caesar Salad were ready. Luckily, I called it in and made my way there once it was close to the hour mark. Upon my arrival back, the pizza was still hot, the medium sized Caesar was big enough to feed an army and the mozzarella sticks were perfectly fried to perfection. For being just 1 of a few places on the mountain to grab a pie, like Joe DiMaggio from the Yankees, MAGGIO's Pizza knocked it out of the park. read more

O M G!!! The cheese pull on their pizza is Turtle's in a half-shell turtle power style!! A MUST pizza place to try when visiting Big Bear Cheese sticks were cheesy and calamari was just okay. It's the ring-style calamari with lots of breading. I prefer the lighter style of breading. The Marinara sauce was delicious and robust. At the table, there is plenty of parmesan and red pepper flakes to top your pizza with. Pizza came out fairly quickly since we were the 1st ones there. Clean atmosphere including the restrooms. The servers were attentive to servicing guests. read more

Maggio's Pizza - GF pepperoni and sausage pizza and Buffalo chicken pizza - Pizza Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

While visiting Big Bear, we had a craving for pizza. Maggio's Pizza was recommended to us as having a great pizza. We ordered two XL pizzas for pick-up, which was the perfect amount for our party. Pizza was tasty, but nothing extraordinary like we were told. I don't know if you can request different crust pizzas, as it was not suggested to us. The crust we had, again tasty, but extremely thin. It was very difficult to grab a slice, as all the topping would fall off. Even when trying to fold the pizza in half to stiffen the crust up a bit, the topping would still fall off. We had to slide the pizza slices onto our plates and slide to the edge of the plate to eat. We did not eat at the restaurant since it was a pick-up, but I found the ambience of the location to be very nice and did have a good amount of clientele there eating. I may try it again when in the area, but most likely try another pizza location first. read more

Very good! I loved the pizza, fast except when busy. Great staff and great ambiance. I recommend any hot sandwich.

Yikes! This pizza wasn't appealing whatsoever. Boring dough and crust, toppings were meh, and sauce was nowhere to be found. I typically don't like to use ranch with pizza, but I needed ranch simply for moisture. Ranch "saved" the pizza a little, but won't save this review. I should've asked for a side of marinara to help with the dry pizza. My fiancee and I didn't even bother finishing it to not waste the stomach space on it. Extremely disappointed and won't come back ever. The beef jerky I brought from home helped fill me up for the evening, but man I was really hoping for some good pizza. Not here! read more

Okay, so there are only two pizza spots around here "no name pizza and maggios. No name closes early so maggios here we is! I order the Mediterranean pizza comes with sun dried tomatoes. I note " no tomatoes please" Guess what they put no effing sauce loooool like they took it so literal that not only did they not add the sun dried tomatoes the "A hole" chef decided no sauce either. Tipped twice just to have dry pizza. Cardboard dry I'm choking. This whole complex is just terrible with customer service. I got a shanty garden salad with one tomato slice so I threw it on for a pic haha. Two stars for the deliver driver coming out here while it rained. read more

I have to clarify, I'm Sicilian, and grew up with great cooking (and cook pretty well myself). That said, I'm always going to be harsher on Italian joints. We had a beef dip, salad, spaghetti & Calzone. The size of the portions were impressive for the price. I was underwhelmed with the service. Friendly, definitely. I expected full serve, which isn't what this is. They seat you wherever you like, then you order at the counter. They bring it to you as it's ready, so don't expect to be served all at once. I was a bit peeves to be asked for a tip upon ordering. If I'm standing at a counter to order, I'm not tipping. As for the food. Salad and bruschetta were on point. My boy liked the beef dip, but the Au jus was closer to jello. The marinara on the spaghetti was quite good. Even better with the garlic bread. The calzone left me underwhelmed. Was supposed be sausage/pepperoni, but had one piece of pepperoni and so little cheese, I didn't get any until the final walk bites. Very thin breading as well. Given the location, this place has a lot of potential. Would love to see it as a full service, real Italian joint. But in a pinch.... read more

This place has never disappointed! My wife and I have been making this place a normal stop for over 30 years now. Today we returned for a quick BB getaway and we had to stop. We noticed the antipasto salad is now being made with the lettuce weeds so we asked if we could have only iceberg lettuce. At first the lady behind the counter said no because it comes in a mix and so she checked the lettuce and said that there was no way they could separate the salads. So we ordered our pizza and breadsticks. We sat down and then she came running out of the kitchen saying their chef was going to make a whole new salad for us. Amazing!!! Who does that??? It was all so damn good!!! Amazing food but amazing service trumps the food. Amazing!!!! read more
