    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.

    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 cutlets are all dry from waiting in the front. and the sandwich bread was stale. and as other reviewers have mentioned, very bland sauce to top it off. most veal sandwich places will fry on order. Not this place.

    pasta: very bland, stale tomato sauce.

    Chicken wings: dry, dry, dry.

    Price: Overpriced for what you are getting. 2 adults, 3 kids. no desert. $70+tip.

    Service: Slow and indifferent. Waitress got our order wrong (we'd asked for sauce on the side). And then she denied it and did nothing to rectify.

    Owner: I have a dietary restriction. So I explained it and asked the owner for a simple request. He kept on calling it strange, odd and ultimately refused to accommodate.

    At the  prices they are charging, you can do MUCH better in that neighborhood. Marcello's across to street to begin with. Do yourself a favour and try another spot.

    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 its about what I would expect from a place like this.

    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
    The food is great! Comfort Italian with no frills. Great for when "making dinner" is just not an option! i have had Big Slice delivered, done the take-out route, and dined in, all with the same positive conclusion. Good food at a good price.

    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.

    Good food for the price!
    I love the Big Plate option and it sure fills you up. Good atmosphere, friendly waitersand open late, which is a bonus, especially for a late night out.
