We usually eat here during Art Prize. We decided to head downtown for WoW. Unfortunately for my family, it was Valentines Day. Every place we stopped at had a long waiting list. With my children growing hungry and impatient, we were walking this way and decided to stop in. We must have just missed a rush as every table needed to be bussed. But they cleaned one up at sat us. They brought the cheesebread out before the pizza so my kids could start eating. The cheesebread is so good. Even the crust. Which strangely reminds me of my homemade tortillas. The pizza is good as well and I love whatever brand of soda they carry. However, my favorite of this experience was our server Alex. (I think that was her name) She was very kind. At the end of the day, she even gave my kids a Valentine! It was just one of those sticky hand things with a card, but that was awesome. We don’t go downtown much, but when we’re back, we want her again!

Late night pizza spot! BigO served its purpose. We went looking for a good slice of pizza and they had just what we needed.

Big Os is the place to be in GR on a weekend the bartenders Alex and McLain are the best in the business and will make sure you are taken care of despite the crowd. The kitchen is well trained and know their way around a slice. Overall would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a casual dining and drinking experience.

Big O Pizza and Booze offers a different but amazing pizza experience. The basement-level restaurant has a unique charm that’s quite inviting. When we arrived, there were only a handful of other guests, some at a table and others at the bar, clearly and loudly enjoying their drinks.
The setup is mostly self-service, and unfortunately, a few menu items, like the recommended Cuban sandwiches, weren’t available during our visit. So, we opted for pizza instead. The food and drinks are brought to your table, but there’s no further service after that.
The cheese bread was great, loaded with cheese and just the right amount of burnt crust to add a nice smokiness. My BBQ chicken pizza was a bit lacking in toppings (I didn t stumble over any pineapple), but the dough was cross and fantastic.
Overall, there’s some room for improvement, especially in the toppings department, but the unique atmosphere and the booze make it worth a visit. It’s a solid 4-star experience!

This late night bar & pizzeria is awesome! If you want a slice, a whole pie or a drink/beer, try this place. Service is great and staff very friendly. Highly recommended in downtown Grand Rapids.

Good pizza and drinks in a casual space in downtown Grand Rapids. The sourdough pizza crust was very good. I appreciate the tofu ricotta but wish the menu was not clear about vegan options. My vegan pizza with the tofu ricotta was good – I did the BYO option. I thought the menu was a little larger before going, but it worked out. Their drinks are also good as well. Reasonably priced. The staff and bartenders are very friendly as well!

Came in on a Sunday night with a 7 top –
There was another large top in the restaurant but for most of the time we were there we had to get up and grab everything ourselves (napkins, serving utensils, had to ask the bar for refills)
Honestly, it seemed like our server was the only one on the floor and nobody was helping her out at all, this place could do with better help across the board with other staff members helping out the server, any time I asked anyone for anything I kept getting a deer in headlights look.
Overall food was solid
