This place is amazing! Great good, reasonable price, a server that's SMOKING hot. Everything! I particularly like the Greek salad, the beef lasagna, and the mushroom/pepper/onion combo. Wowza! The atmosphere is open and inviting for families, but not overly loud, so it isn't off-putting.

Three stars??? Seriously way better than that. The calzones are excellent and the sauces are all homemade and very delicious. We've been coming to big slice for years. Recommend lunch or dinner as the late night crowd can get a bit dicey. This is place is a gem.

I love love love The Big Slice.
You can't get anything better than this place: great pasta, garlicy-bread and fabulous pizza.
The service is great and its super kid friendly.
I always leave very happy with leftovers for home.
Best. Ever.

Great pizza. I've tried lots of different pizzerias in Toronto but this one wins it. It's on the exactly right curve of quality vs cost. Big Slice's pizza does everything right! There is a pick up special for a large pepperoni on their website.

Don't bother even going in. The pizza is terrible, the pasta tasted like it was out of a can, and the staff, in Italian, make fun of the customers. When I asked him, in Italian, why he doesn't say it in English if he felt so strongly, his eyes nearly popped out of his head and he ran into the back like the coward he is. Since the business thinks of their customers so poorly, don't give them any... more

This place seemed homey at first and staff were welcomung but when I took a look at the pizza I ordered when I got home I noticed that the dough was barely cooked and all the toppings appeared to be in separate piles. The onions looked like they were the on on last minute, and I even asked for well done. Wasn't impressed.

I always come for the same dish every single time. Chicken fettucini Alfredo. Never disappoints! Decent price. The service lacks at times

My partner and I needed a place open on a late Tuesday night to eat, and luckily we found this gem in our neighbourhood! Oh my god, delicious food, amazing prices, lots of drink options - it is a student's dream! I wish I had discovered it earlier. Best of all, the service was great. Our waiter was so friendly and we stayed 15 minutes at the end just talking to him about school, art, and other... more

The first time I went to Big Slice was late on a Friday night. This place seems any time I walk by it day or night, so if you need your fix of Italian food at odd hours, this is your joint. The first thing I tried here was the lasagne and garden salad. Unfortunately, this was not their best showing. The lasagne lacked any flavour, other than salt salt salt. The salad was super greasy and... more

My husband and I always share the "Big Plate" here, $11.75 for 4 items and 2 pieces of garlic bread. We usually order the beef lasagne, penne Alfredo, a "Big Slice" (get it? ) of pepperoni pizza, and a sausage. The portion is generous, and we always leave here full and satisfied. Food is good, price is great, staff is friendly, atmosphere is casual. We like coming here whenever we are craving... more

While the portions are huge the environment and food sometimes make me think of the mcdonalds of Italian food. It's great for something quick or you feel like sharing a pizza with a friend. If you're hungry and on a budget you will find hearty and yummy food. However, it's not a date place at all unless you stay on the patio and never use the washroom. A plus is that they stay open really late... more

First time ordering here and was not disappointed.

Ordered he #1 special - medium pizza, wings and 2 Coles for a very fair price $20

Was told they where super busy so it would take about an hour which was fine and I appreciated the heads up from the guy who took the call

The pizza and wings were fantastic and it was more then enough food for the two of us

Will be ordering again no doubt!

I had the meat lasagna, and 2 glasses of house red. The 3 staff I dealt with were all very nice. The lasagna was large and came with a very good not-small salad and two large pieces of garlic bread. While this is not great quality, it was still yummy and filling, and for the price and good service it has instantly become my go-to Italian local.
Bonus: big patio.

I don't know why this place is listed as '$$' when it should be '$'
$4 import beers, huge portions and really low prices!
The food is what it is, nothing amazing or jaw dropping but never really disappointing.

As long as u let the servers know you're sitting on the patio the service is timely.

Open til 1am weekdays, and 5am fri-sat it's a perfect local greasy spoon :)

Perfect for take-out when you have a salt/carb craving. I get a craving for Big Slice about every 6-8 weeks! Also great hangover food, obviously.

I would not eat-in at the restaurant, generally, unless I had to (or was drunk - they are open SUPER late for this very reason).... take-out is better for me. I usually just walk in the side entrance and order at the counter & wait (10 minutes on... more

My last trip here broke my heart. We've been ordering take out about weekly for work. It has always been five stars. You can get this thing called a big plate where you can pick four items and end up with enough food for three meals but you eat it all anyway and need to nap at work to avoid death. As an example, I often get a slice of pepperoni pizza, mushrooms, lasagna, and penne alfredo which... more

Big Slice has great food at a really reasonable price. The pizza is great and the smells that come from the kitchen are soo good. The service isn't that great but the price of the food makes up for it.

Quite bad food. Pizza was over cheesed. Killed about 5 wasps. I'd go back for a take out order, but not really a great place to sit and have a nice meal.

Walking down St. Clair looking for a patio, and came across this place randomly. We both ordered a chicken Cutler sandwich, with a can of coke. Came up to around 18-20$. Very filling, but somewhat lacking in flavour. The onions and peppers were cut into large squares, pieces kept sliding out. A little sloppy for that price.

While it is a little c@!%!y inside, I didn't mind because it has a certain...je ne sais quoi that is homey and comforting.
Seems like a little place that people in the neighbourhood have been going to for years, like a little hole-in-the-wall hidden gem.
I had the grilled veggie sandwich (that has goat cheese...*drool*) and it was delicious!! The price wasn't too steep either ($4.95) so that... more

First and last time I will go here. I paid over $9 for a small vegetarian pizza when I could have paid $6 for two slices (which would have been bigger than the pizza I got and it would have coat me less).

When I brought this to the cashier's attention she just said "sorry". I said it would have been good customer service to make me aware that it works out cheaper to buy two slices and she said... more

Pizza Libretto this ain't but it isn't exactly the same target market. For 11.99 plus tax you can get the "the big plate" which includes 4 of any of the following options like veal cutlets, lasagna, meatballs, ministrone, garden salad, different kinds of penne or a pizza slice. Its not delicate Italian , its italo-canadian and it sticks to the ribs. Pizza slices are marginal but the fresh... more

First impression:
It's a bit of a s@!t hole inside. I won't lie about that. It's not the kinda place you go to for the interior. It was also chilly. Lots of mounted tv's on the wall ... It was full of families sitting around, quickly shoving food in their mouths, while watching tv.
I'll sum this up by saying it's a very casual restaurant.

What I got:
- Veal sandwich w/cheese and mushrooms.... more

Recently had an unfortunate experience there with my wife and 3 kids. Dirty tables. Dirty glasses. Dirty bathrooms. And rude owner to top it off. it's really unfortunate because this place has been around for a while. but, clearly it's best days are way behind it.

A few dishes are mediocre at best, and the rest are pretty below average.

Veal and chicken sandwiches: they are not fresh. the... more

Good food for the price!
My favourite is the penne a la vodka, though I'm always torn between that and the Big Plate. The portions don't look so big when placed in front of you but it sure fills you up, but you can always bring the leftovers home. I love coming here for late night munchies since it's open late.

Three stars for pizza slice (when fresh): good value although a little oily
Two stars for the veal sandwich: veal was tough, sauce was insufficient and tasteless.
Other food is reasonably priced, though I'd pass if it was all the same quality as the veal sandwich. I'll prob try something else on the menu since I live so close.
Open til 2 am... every night I think.
I'll round up to three because... more

As highlighted by others, the big slice, is good, inexpensive and family friendly. During the summer months, the patio on the side can be quite pleasant. Do try a pizza, pasta or their panzos.

They are also open very late. Unlike it's sister on Yonge street, it isn't full of loud drunks on weekends. There may be some quiet drunks, but they are well behaved.

Thank goodness for Big Slice!
This extremely reasonably price dine-in/take out/delivery joint just hits the spot!
It is very family friendly (You can sit an infant car seat in the window sill and get a high chair for a toddler!) and is so casual you could dine in your pajamas. PERFECT

Nummy, nummy! Sure, the place is worn in, it's not the slickest joint in town, but the appearance tells you what you're going to get - good portions, filling food that hits the spot.

Highlights:
- the prices are right, around $7 - $10 for an entree
- the food comes out pretty quickly
- pasta comes with a salad

I'm a big fan of the cheese tortellini in a rose sauce.

This has very quickly been a favourite spot for me and my two kids. Sure, it helps that it's literally across the street from my place, but the food is reasonable, the atmosphere is *very* kid friendly (we've yet to go when there weren't a couple other families there).

The food isn't amazing, but it's good and hits the spot and is definitely worth the price.
