“Honestly, I have had this place quite a few times. And while the food quality is low, it's extremely delicious! I find myself coming back again and again as the number of pizza places that serve that greasy, delicious, government cheese pizza I grew up with gets lower and lower. I highly recommend this place for delicious greasy fast pizza!!“

“Fun place to check out. There is a variety of food vendors - wood fired pizza, Reuben sandwiches, sushi, caramelized beef burgers, BBQ pulled pork, and so on. It's a family friendly atmosphere. For when the weather is nice, there is an outside seating area with a ping-pong table, corn hole, and a jumbo sized Chess set. Good times.“

“had to leave a review of this place, because I have ordered over 40 times and they sincerely never disappoint. I worked night audit and they absolutely carried me throughout the night with the best pizza. I'm originally from Long Island and have family in Brooklyn and this is literally my favorite pizza place. They even gave me a slice of cake when I told them it would be my last order, and I was actually sad that I couldn't order from them anymore. This was two years ago, but I know if I came back it would still slap the same exact way. Eat here!“

All of the workers were very nice and explained the menu.
Amazing brick oven pizzas.
Truly a great dining spot.“

“We booked Umani for our Welcome Party the night before our wedding and we had the BEST experience. The food was amazing, the service top notch, and the obvious time and energy that Santiago and his family put into creating a beautiful aesthetic was so appreciated. We had an amazing experience and I would recommend to anyone looking to book a food truck for their event to go with Umani!“

“I had the best experience with this location specifically. I had called the location on 35th and some Hispanic lady answered and when I asked her about the coupon I had and right when I finished she hung up on me! So I called this location on 56th west and Abi answered the phone almost instantly and when I explained the situation he took my order right there and 15 minutes later I was walking out with my pizzas! Abi was incredibly helpful and very polite! That man deserves a raise!“

“Visiting from Dinner and was happy to find this place. The pizza Pie was fabulous!“

“I had a fantastic experience here at the big Apple today! I had there Buffalo chicken pizza so good! The best part they drew a fun surprise of a pentagram with buffalo sauce ! Thank you🤤“

“We loooooove Wasatch Pizza! I lived in a different state and whenever I came home, having a Wasatch Pizza night was a must! Now, living down in Saratoga Springs, we still make the effort to make it there as often as we can because it’s SO DANG GOOD!! Thanks for the delicious pizza for all these years!!“

“Very friendly environment, people are very humble and helpful, I’m very happy with the service.“

“Best Papa Murphy's in town. The employees are mostly a younger crew; they are always smiling and have a great attitude. Just looks like they enjoy their jobs. They make great pizzas always loaded with lots of toppings. I even saw one of them carry an older gentleman's pizza to his car for him. When I order online, the pizza is always ready when I get to the store (usually 20 minutes). Keep it up guys!“

“Most of the time I would give this location a 4 1/2 out of 5, but today they actually listen to what I said about the amount of sauce I wanted on my pizza, too much red sauce usually gives me indigestion, but today the person actually asked me if the amount they put on was okay prior to building the rest of the pizza and it was phenomenal!“

“Great pizza especially for the price in downtown. Huge selection of beverages.“

“As a frequent traveler and love of Italian food, I can confirm this restaurant is 10/10. Very unique twist on some dishes, but phenomenal choices. Annie the server is also a gem. The whole staff was so kind. I wish they would open a Miami location!!!“

“Thank you for remaking my pizza , it was chicken bacon ranch. It was delicious. And the delivery was fast. Thanks“

“best pizza joint in Davis County hands down!!!!! hearty pies and amazing bread sticks!!!“

“Great food and service! We will surely go again!“

“The food was incredible. Entirely homemade and fresh with high quality ingredients. We will be back for sure“

“Ordered takeout. It was my first time ordering from them. We got a Brooklyn and a Hawaiian. Both were so good!! I love that they have toppings most dont like the green olives. So good! The crust was thinner and crispy. Love the flavor from the wood fire. We really love supporting local family owned businesses. Its easy when they are this good.“

“I feel like Papa Murphy's always uses fresh, high quality ingredients and since we bake it at home, it always tastes better than take out. With the coupon programs it has great prices and is really one of the cheapest ways to feed a large group of people quickly.“

“My order is always fast and correct. The crew is friendly.“

“Love doing business here, Pizza, consistently done right and on time...However, the website is also consistently difficult to navigate and to drill down, to find and order their Tuesday Special! That is always disappointing! How about letting me click on "Reorder"?“

“We went into the Saratoga springs location and saw the magnificent looking cinnamon rolls. Much to our dismay there were no raisins and we are always on the lookout for raisins in our cinnamon rolls. Carl, the owner, said he’d make a pan with raisins for just for us. We took 10 huge cinnamon rolls home and the family indulged in the best rolls ever! Thanks Carl!“

“I went in on Halloween at 4:00pm and the place was packed. Crazy busy! Jess and her crew were working so quickly to make sure everyone was served. That team was amazing to watch. Jess was very kind and greeted everyone who came in. They were a well oiled machine in a very stressful situation.“

“I was visiting from out of state and had never been to Big Daddy Pizza before, but after seeing all the great reviews, I decided to give it a try. Let me just say, it absolutely lived up to the hype and then some!

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a friendly smile and genuine hospitality that instantly made me feel welcome, even though I’m not a local. The place has that comfortable, laid-back vibe you want in a pizza spot — nothing pretentious, just good people serving up great food. The staff took the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and even cracked a few jokes while I was deciding. It honestly felt like I had been coming there for years even though it was my first visit.

Now let’s talk about the food — because that’s the real star here. I ordered a large pizza with half pepperoni and half veggie because I wanted to sample both ends of the spectrum. The crust blew me away. It was perfectly balanced: crispy on the outside yet soft and chewy on the inside. You could tell it wasn’t rushed or cheaply made — this was dough done right. The sauce had a rich tomato flavor with just the right amount of herbs and seasoning, and it wasn’t overly sweet like some places tend to do. Every bite had depth of flavor that made me want to slow down and savor it.

The cheese was gooey, stretchy, and full of that classic mozzarella flavor that ties everything together. On the pepperoni side, the slices had those little crispy edges that curl up just slightly, releasing that savory, smoky flavor — exactly how good pepperoni should be. On the veggie side, everything tasted incredibly fresh: crisp green peppers, flavorful mushrooms, and juicy tomatoes that actually tasted like tomatoes. Nothing felt canned or pre-packaged.

I also ordered a side of wings because I wanted to try more of their menu. They came out hot, meaty, and full of flavor. The sauce had a nice kick without being overpowering, and the wings themselves were cooked perfectly — not soggy, not overdone, just right.

What impressed me just as much as the food was how attentive and kind the staff were throughout the whole visit. Even though the place got busy, I never felt rushed. They checked in, refilled my drink, and genuinely seemed to care that I was enjoying myself. That kind of service makes a huge difference and really stood out to me.

As someone traveling through, I’ve had pizza in a lot of places, but Big Daddy Pizza honestly ranks among the best. It’s not just about great ingredients — it’s the way they put everything together with care and pride. I left full, happy, and wishing I had a Big Daddy Pizza back home.

If you’re from the area, consider yourself lucky to have this spot close by. And if you’re like me, visiting from out of state, don’t miss your chance to stop in. It’s more than worth it. Five stars without hesitation — I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in town!“
