Big Tony’s Pizzeria & Dive Bar

The owner was visibly intoxicated and completely out of control. She had no idea what she was doing, spoke incoherently, and treated customers with a complete lack of professionalism. When I told her—quite rightly—that I shouldn't be working in that state, she got offended and called security to remove me from the premises. I've never witnessed anything so disgraceful. This place is a disaster, run by someone who has absolutely no respect for her business or for people. Avoid this place at all costs.

I've been visiting Big Tony's for just about a year now. I've never been a weekly regular, but I'd say I go 2-3 times a month. They've never missed. The food is spot on, and the bartenders are always so friendly and welcoming. They have regular rotating events and the BEST HAPPY HOUR in Arlington. Cheers.

We enjoyed this place. Pizza could have been more fresh but was okay. Service was okay. Nice atmosphere.

Pizza is good but the bar (and related scene) is weird kind. Seems more like a collection of the bartender's friends than anything else.

Big Tony’s isn’t just a pizza spot—it’s an experience. The moment you walk in, you’re hit with that comforting aroma of fresh dough and sizzling toppings that remind you of why pizza is the ultimate comfort food. But what sets this place apart is how it transforms as the night goes on. One minute, you’re savoring a perfect slice with crispy edges and gooey cheese, the next you’re in a laid-back lounge with music, laughter, and some of the friendliest people around.

The staff here are the real heartbeat of Big Tony’s—welcoming, attentive, and genuinely fun to talk to. You don’t just feel like a customer; you feel like part of the family. Whether you’re here for a casual bite or to kick back with friends late into the night, Big Tony’s nails it every time. Peyton and David are my favorite, along with the two handsome security guards.

If you’re looking for a place where great food meets great vibes, Big Tony’s is the spot. It’s not just pizza, it’s a whole vibe.

Big Tony’s is the kind of spot you keep coming back to. The bartenders are not only quick with the drinks but also make the whole experience feel welcoming—special shoutout to Krystle, Payton, Lauren, Sophia, Ticha, Micha, Rissa and Brittany for always holding it down behind the bar.

The pizza? Solid every time. Definitely a go-to when you want quality food with your drinks.

What really sets this place apart is the management. David and Jeremy run a tight ship, and it shows—everything feels smooth, organized, and customer-focused. And knowing Kat, one of the owners, is often around checking in gives it that personal, neighborhood feel while still keeping the energy of a dive.

Big Tony’s isn’t just a bar with good pizza—it’s a place where you actually feel taken care of.
