This place isn't open and looks like it's closed down. Don't spend the time driving over there like I did.

Great pizza & garlic parm wings. Will try their sandwiches next. This location on Noble Ave recently closed permanently. Look them up on instagram for info on their pop up locations, etc.

Not sure how this place has 50 reviews. I’ve called and driven to this place multiple times for the past few months. Phone keeps ringing and no one is ever there when I try to order in person. I’ve gone at their supposed and already limited business hours but never once got a person. What’s the point of advertising on Instagram if you’re never open. I hope people see this post before driving down there.

The food was great, the service was pretty slow which isn't a huge del, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was... Barren? It feels unfinished. The food though, call ahead and place an order and that's probably the best way to go. Would absolutely get pizza from here again.

Sorry but this was pricey pizza and it wasn't satisfying at all. Staff was friendly though

"I LOVE it when you buy me BIG PAPAS!" is what I'm going to tell my husband from now on lol Honestly the other pizza places in town are disappointing so I'm so happy we found Big Papas! It's definitely our new go to place. We ordered the classic pepperoni and then washed it down with the amber ale they had on tap. They got the crust just right and I love that they used cupped pepperoni. DELISH!! The menu has a variety and something for everyone. Plus the portions are B.I.G. The service was 10/10! We also got to meet the owner and the staff. Super chill and so friendly! If you're looking for amazing wood fired pizza, look no further. Choose Big Papas!

Do you remember that scene in the movie the mask? THEE scene ! Where Cameron Diaz walks into the bank wet from the rain! I was a boy before that scene.....and then my voice changed the following morning! It was crazy. SO fast forward 28 years and that same scene is still very impressive. Only the rain isn't rain, it's beer. And only Cameron Diaz isn't Cameron Diaz, she's pizza. AS IN DINNER FROM BIG POPPAS! I think ima hit puberty again. What has this place done to me !?? The beer was delicious and the pizza was very very good. We've tried all pizza in the area and have been met with dissatisfaction. I ordered a staple here. Pepperoni. It was a perfect balance of sauce and cheese. Also the crust was the perfect balance of crunch and fluff. It was basically Cameron Diaz from the 90's. Who wouldn't want to eat Cameron Diaz. 10/10 !

We love this pizza! Excellent that's a different spin on many others here in town, the wood fired part makes it one of the most unique here compared to many of the big pizzerias around. We have been coming here since this place opened its official brick and mortar store and loved them when they were using their food truck. The service has always been excellent, and love supporting a local restaurant! The ambiance is very family friendly, plenty of TV's to watch a game, or last time we were in to pick up a "Badass Pizza," real flavor and I think one of the best they make! Look it up! They were jamming to 90's hip hop, dang, how time flies and now that music are oldies. Check this place out next time you're in the area; they have excellent family meal options, and even make Cannolis l!

Great wood fire style pizza - we order delivery and it's great every time. They get a little busy and the price is higher than others, but it's well worth it.

First time trying today and so glad we did! We tried their pepperoni and sausage pizza and buffalo wings and both were great! Pizza was tasty, bread was great with a wood flavor. Buffalo wings were also great, chicken was moist with great flavor. What made our experience even better was the superb customer service, from the nice lady in the front to the cooks in the back. A relaxing atmosphere to enjoy some good food on a friday night. We will definitely be going back and recommend this place to everyone who is looking for a good pizza place!
Placed an order for pickup on a Saturday evening at 5:30. Attempted to order a caesar salad & was told the didn’t have any salad that day...ok. Ordered a large 1 topping pizza & 2 sides of ranch & was told they were out of ranch… really? What kind of pizza place is out of salad & ranch on a Saturday at an early dinner hour. The pizza was very undercooked & soggy, as well as being lukewarm at best. Would have had a better pizza out of the freezer section. Will never be back & would recommend others to go somewhere else. This place needs to majorly step up their game.

Trying to get pizza here for over 3 weeks. Their hrs. are not as advertised. Tried 2 pizza and wings. Pizza crust was good, a little soggy, not too crisp, which I like. Toppings were fine and sauce was OK. I'm no wings expert. They were chicken , fall off the bone and smothered in sauce. Just OK. $45.00. You decide.

Had the pizza and garlic wings, delish! Much tastier than the typical franchise pizza places. Happy to support a local owned business.

We were sitting at home thinking about what to eat. So my husband looked at yelp and saw "Big Papas Wood Fired Pizza" in Visalia, CA. So we drove from Tulare to Visalia to eat here. We must say it was worth the drive. We are definitely going to tell our friends and family about "Big Papas Wood Fired Pizza".
