Message from The Original Big Tomato

You've gotta eat it to believe it!
  • Whole Wheat Pizzas.
  • Salads in French boule breads.
  • Healthy fast food.

The tomato pie is the ultimate original GOURMET pizza that was created in Italy. It is a light, flaky pastry crust that is thicker on the sides and thinner in the center, as the cheese covers the enter circumference. Unlike a traditional deep-dish pizza, a tomato pie crust is light and airy, which creates a crispy delicacy that truly melts in your mouth. The rich homemade tomato sauce is made from whole tomatoes, tomato puree and fresh herbs, topped with the highest quality imported cheeses and baked to a golden brown perfection. We have 13 years of success in the South Miami area. The original recipe in its entirety is still used today, under the strictest supervision to maintain the quality and consistency. Our menu has expanded to include whole wheat crust in addition to our fresh homemade salads served in French boule breads and a healthy selection of wrap sandwiches.

A MUST for healthy pizza lovers! 5 Star Rating - World class

The Big Tomato earns big points from my family. The crust is the best I have EVER had and the toppings are a unique blend of fresh, flavorful combinations. The salads are served in homemade bread bowls and are satisfying without being overfilling. I love that no matter when we go we always receive the same great quality and quantiy....unfortunately I live out of town but my mouth starts watering as soon as my plane lands.

Pros: Great quality of healthy food at a great price.
Cons: I live out of town

This was my first time at Big Tomato and it DEFINITELY won't be my last. The crust is so thick yet so very light and delicious. The fresh ingredients are key to the best gourmet pizza around!!

Great Taste/Great Value 5 Star Rating - World class

I have been in the food business for over 20yrs and my favorite food is PIZZA. I will travel a reasonable distance to get great pizza and Big tomato is definitely worth the drive. I can't figure out why people continue to eat the chain pizzerias, except that they have been brainwashed. If you truly love pizza, I recommend The Big Tomato.

Pros: Value
Cons: none

Some of the best pizza I've ever had! 5 Star Rating - World class

I was visiting Miami on a budget during the month of June, and I quickly learned that you get what you pay for in this city. There is, however, one surprise restaurant where you get way MORE than you pay for... and it's the Original Big Tomato! This pizza joint is tucked away in a small shopping center in Kendall, just a few minutes south of Dadeland Mall on US-1. I placed a takeout order for the 'Margherita' pie and it was delicious. The owners are very friendly and you can't beat the prices for the kind of ingredients they use (i.e. fresh dough, unprocessed cheeses and meats, no preservatives, etc.) - and their pizzas are so good because they are made-to-order. Shame on you if you buy your pizza from one of the chain stores! Give the Original Big Tomato a try!

Pros: No frills, great pizza
Cons: None

Pizza for pizza lovers. A "must try" place. 5 Star Rating - World class

My husband and I consider ourselves pizza connoisseurs. Friday nights are typically pizza night at our house, and the only place that we order from is Big Tomato. Their pizza is hands-down, the best weve ever had. Its always a treat biting into a Big Tomato pizza. All of their ingredients are fresh and of the highest quality. One feels less guilty when eating a Big Tomato pizza because you know that its got nutritional value. The Big Tomato Sauce is seasoned perfectly and tastes delicious; the crust is fluffy, chewy, and scrumptious. Theyre not at all skimpy with the toppings and the mozzarella cheese they use is yum. Put all those components together and add a staff that is eager to please, and youve got the number 1 pizza joint in our book. If you havent tried Big Tomato yet, youre missing out on spectacular pizza. Their salads and wraps are real tasty too. We love inviting friends over and treating them to a delectable meal from Big Tomato. Everyone likes to be at our house on Friday nights.

Pros: High quality ingredients, plentiful toppings, delicious sauce and crust
Cons: None
