Big Mikes Pizza

Pizza ready for pick up on time. Place very busy, good sign. Ordered sausage topping, used pepperoni instead. Bummer. Black olives were fine plenty of them. Very sparse on the mushroom topping -- but they were fresh mushrooms, kudos. Correct amount of cheese -- light on side, regular amount on other side. Overall a pretty salty tasting pizza. Crust good, a bit chewy but good flavor. Red sauce good, sweet like we like it. May try again, not sure.

So, I always go to newer restaurants a while after they open. Why? To let them work out the kinks.
The kinks have been worked out. I watched as they made our pizza. Homemade hand tossed dough, just the right amount of sauce (fabulous) and all toppings fresh.
They are willing to cut in squares, as Chicagoan's are used to this.
The staff are all happy and they are attentive, hard workers and make you feel welcome.
The pizza was to notch and this will now be our to go pizza restaurant. Just great! The owner cares.

We are from the Philly area and are very picky about our pizza. We've tried a bunch and have had some decent ones but nothing compares to Big Mike's. I think we've been there/ordered delivery at least 3x month since they opened. All the food is awesome. But in addition the service is incredible. Every employee is gracious and so nice even when it's crazy busy which is usually is. HIghly recommend for food and service!!

Arguably the best pizza in Venice and surrounding areas! We've been searching for great pizza since moving to Venice several years ago and believe we've finally found it. All of the ingredients are fresh, the service is great and the owner seems to listen to his customers. I was slightly hesitant to give a great review, because I want this to remain a best kept secret, "a place for locals".

Awesome pizza! Best pizza that I have found in the whole of Venice and surrounding area by far (and I've been searching since I've moved here 3 years ago). In addition to their great pizza, I have heard that the rest of their menu is of comparable quality, I'll update once I've tried it. Great service and friendly staff aswell. Highly recommended.
