Big Lou’s Pizza

Big Lou’s Pizza is an incredible experience that we never miss!

We have visited San Antonio several times since we have family in Houston.

On our way to Fiesta Texas we were cutting through town and saw a restaurant with the line wrapping from one end of the building to the next. We decided to return the next day at a less popular hour.

Upon returning the next day we were surprised to see the place, Big Lou’s Pizza, was just as packed. We bit the bullet and stood in the line that was in the parking lot…. It was worth it!

The wait time from parking lot to the table was not bad at all. Big Lou’s Pizza is a lot bigger than it looks and your order is taken while you are in line so we were seated and eating within an hour which is basically how long you will wait at any restaurant on a Saturday back home. Had we not had the kids we could have waited at the bar.

Big Lou’s Pizza offers a variety of different sizes and toppings. We chose the 42″ half pepperoni half supreme pizza. It’s an experience simply watching two men carry the pizza out and attempt to set it on your table.

The pizza was enormous and for such a big pizza I was amazed at how good it was. I will say the only pizza I’ve ever had that was better tasting than this was in Seattle many years ago. The pizza fed nine adults no problem and we had some to take back to the hotel. With 30lbs of simply toppings all four children worked on 2 slices and didn’t put a dent in them.

The customer service was super and we enjoyed the experience as much as we enjoyed the pizza. We paid under $100 for food, drinks, desert and that’s 9 adults and 4 children in our group.

We will definitely attempt to tackle the Texas Size pizza every time we visit the Lone Star State.
