Big Time Pizza

From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with kindness. The owner was taking orders & gave info about different selections. He had a BBQ rib special & when my partner asked how they tasted, the owner was very honest & said “well this batch isn’t my best, I couldn’t get them to fall off the bone but the flavor is great.” So we ordered a rib plate & a small “Mac on Fire” pizza… woooow just wow! The ribs are the best we’ve had traveling the country (including Memphis, Texas, NC, ect) & the pizza is soooo unique & flavorful! I think the owner said it took 32 tries to get the flavor right when creating the Mac on Fire. Do yourself a favor & stop here!

The pizza is good and the servers friendly. But $16.65 for a 12” pepperoni pizza served in a box with a paper plate seemed a bit pricey. It was the smallest pizza on offer. It would have been nice to have the option of buying it by the slice.

They had decent live music playing inside. I chose to sit outside as they have many options, most with good shade.

It is not fast food, so don’t go here if you’re in a hurry. But it is good. If I wasn’t traveling alone today, the 12” would have easily fed two (and would thereby not be over priced.

If you’re in the mood for pizza and want to find a place to hang with friends, this is a good option in Hot Springs, SD.

After the recent negative reviews I came here prepared to be disappointed. But this place makes a wonderful pizza, i can personally attest to that. Here are the specifics:
Yes, it takes a while to get it ready. I ordered a veggie pizza and it took about 30 minutes. But that's because they had a ton of orders ahead of me. And when it came out, it was hot and fresh out of the oven.
Yes, the edges are broad. But they have. Parmesan baked on them, and the way this place makes their dough, these edges taste like bread sticks, or even better. They are crunchy and fluffy, and thoroughly enjoyable.
No, the person that takes orders doesnt have an attitude. She is attentive to details. And she gets things done.
Yes, the pizza tastes great. The crust is thin and crunchy throughout. The toppings aren't falling off when slice is picked up. I already mentioned the edges - thoroughly enjoyed them. Toppings are generous. It was good the next morning too.
Price? Yes, it's kinda on the expensive side. But not outrageously so. I have seen worse pizza for more money. And even their "small" 12 inch pizza fed me in the evening with 2 slices left over for the morning. It's perfect for 1 person and the box can be easily strapped to the back of a motorcycle to eat it with the view of the nearby hills.
Overall, it's basically the only pizza in town (other than pizza hut), they are doing a great job, support them when you can or you won't have any options if they shut down.

I came here right after my dad picked me up from the airport. My heart went out to the staff. They were working so hard to make sure everyone was taken care of. They had just had a power outage and were desperately trying to catch things up. The girl at the front was so sweet and doing her very best to keep people calm. I appreciated their honesty and empathy. The pizza is good! I don't know how I feel about their new wings they were a bit dry. Besides that I was impressed with how things were run and how calm and understanding the staff was. It was a nice little pizza joint. :)
