Big Lou’s name isn’t kidding. Everything in this pizzeria is bigger. A slice of cheese for $2.75 is literally larger than my head. A small side salad, served with two garlicy rolls, is enough to feed three. Bringing home left overs is a must.
For a quick slice or a pizza party for 20, Big Lou’s NY Style Pizzeria caters to all. The no-frills tables are topped with dried garlic, Parmesan cheese and red pepper; the pizza is served on paper plates.
Pasta dishes and hot and cold subs go by the wayside to the calzones and pizzas, which can be topped with some 20 types of toppings, including mushrooms, onions, roasted red peppers, fresh basil and even tempeh. Slices can add toppings too for a few cents more.
As one of the only places in Gainesville to serve cannolis, dessert is not to be missed. Just like everything else at Big Lou’s, the cannolis are larger than life (don’t listen when the waitress says one cannolo is only enough for one). The crunchy shells are overflowing with creamy filling and chocolate chips, just the way I love them.
At 8:15 p.m. on a Saturday night, every table is filled, and service is as it should be at a pizzeria, as fast as this post.
