I spoke to the owner of this business, Lou and he was amazing. He was so embarrassed for how this employee treated one of his customers and he really cared that I was treated the way I was. I was honestly surprised and amazed at how wonderful Lou was and how apologetic about how horribly I was treated. The owner Lou gets an A++ in my book.

Good price for big slices of tasty pizza! Great service and safe precautions on covid if you plan on dining in.

I’m from upstate NY and have been searching for a great NY style pizzeria. Some have come close, I will say, however, on this night my husband and I ordered from Big Lou’s. The appearance of the pizza pie is NY. The appearance of the garlic knot is NY. The appearance of the cheesecake is NY. Big Lou’s NY Style pizzeria is DEFINITELY New York. I give this restaurant an A+. Thank you for bringing NY pizza to Gainesville. You’ve gaines a loyal client for sure.

I’ve been in Gainesville for almost 6 years now. I’m about to move and I regret not trying this place before. BEST PIZZA IN GAINESVILLE!! I tried the Big Louie style pizza with some Garlic knots and it was delicious!!

Well food and beer was good but the staff was rude and asked me the leave the building while in the bathroom without a mask on.... Not to mention the mens room looked like a hobo hangout just like one of the cooks... Should have more respect and responsibility of their cities tourist

I wish I could give it a 0 for a review! Absolutely the WORST experience I've ever ever ever ever encountered in my entire life!!! I brought my family of police officers to this restaurant and was yelled at, literally yelled at by a guy who said his name was "John" which I don't believe. Because I didn't have a mask on, but I was not staying inside and when he said that, I was already on my way out the door. I made a comment to my mom about how people use asthma as an excuse to not wear one. He was assuming I was taking about him, and started yelling at me saying he has asthma and just got out of the hospital, yelling on the top of his lungs at me. I was on my way out so it was very unnecessary. I had my stepdad go back inside (with his mask on) I stood outside and he yelled at me from inside about how I need to leave, which I wasn't even inside but my stepdad went in to get his name and he continued yelling at me from behind the register while I was still outside threatening to call the cops on me. He also kept saying he could refuse service to anyone and I told him, from outside that I had never through this whole process needed service because I was not ordering anything. I wasn't inside when my dad went in to talk to him as he threatened to waste the polices time to call them and I told him I was with a few police officers who witnessed his behavior. This employee needs to be reprimanded and I do not recommend anyone eating here with this type of employee raging out because of the verbal abuse. The officers I was with suggests I file a formal complaint against him for verbal abuse.UPDATE: I spoke to the owner of this business, Lou and he was amazing. He was so embarrassed for how this employee treated one of his customers and he really cared that I was treated the way I was.

Honestly, the worst pizza I have had in a long time. Greasy...nothing like the picture. Cheap frozen pizza is better (no kidding). I gave 2 stars because the salad was decent and the workers were friendly

Had the garlic bread sticks and they were amazing. The place has outdoor dining and fair prices.

Very good pizza, friendly staff and quick service. Greek salad was awesome!

Workers are very rude. None of them care about customer service what so ever. Especially the guy with a beard.

One of my favorite spots in town to grab a quick slice! Big Lou's is a fave thanks to their awesome weekly specials and the variety of options! Every now and then I switch up on my pizza toppings but no matter what, it's always a win! They use huge pizza ovens and make your pie fresh, not skimping on any of the toppings or flavor. Ordering wings here are always a smart move as they're always huge and soooo good, definitely worth making them an appetizer to your NY slices. So next time you're driving down Main Street, don't hesitate, stop in for a slice!

Pleasant Little Surprise. Ate her for early lunch. Had daily special pizza. Sausage, salad & drink for $9. It was a lot to eat. Slice was huge. Got the Chicken Parmesan for dinner. It was fabulous. Again, very large portion. Had inside & outside seating. Cleans, spaced apart. Services were wearing masks. Very attentive. Come again? Definitely!

Great local pizza "joint". They are implementing safe measures for COVID, which I was very happy about. They have outdoor seating available, right on the main road. Great prices, great food, great service:)
