Big Als’s Bar-B-Q & Pizza

Ate here this past Saturday — we were there right as they opened — ordered chicken breast, fried okra and salad bar — wait staff was friendly and took good care of you — chicken was good, okra was excellent and the salad bar items were good. It was worth stopping for on a road trip day.

Best steak around our little neck of woods! Best pizza as well! Waitresses are experienced and friendly. Great family place!

Awesome food! Great service! Sweetest wait staff in Tuscaloosa. Pizza served Thursday thru Sunday. It’s incredible! Can’t go wrong with anything. Try it out!

Our little dining «club» (two couples) traveled about 25 miles to Big Al’s from Tuscaloosa on a Friday night. It’s a nice scenic drive up there and we had a lot of fun. The food was excellent. We shared two BBQ plates and a couple of small pizzas. Our server was efficient, very friendly and attentive. Big Al’s doesn’t look «big» on the outside but can accommodate a lot of people in three dining areas. The noise level was low and everyone in sight was in a good mood and very friendly. It was a very pleasant experience. We’ll definitely go back soon and recommend you give them a try.
Be sure and check out their schedule as they don’t make pizza every night of the week. We’re looking forward to trying their catfish the next time we go.

This place was great. It took me five years to actually haul myself out of Tuscaloosa to go but it was worth it. It’s another one of those «dives» that you just need to try.
I went with my best friend and husband last week. Not only was the waitstaff nice, but so were the other customers! We got seated and our waitress was so sweet, she took our orders and got everything we needed quickly and efficiently. We ordered some corn nuggets as a starter and they are delicious!
I had the bacon sausage pizza and my friend got the same thing. My husband had the triple loaded baked potato. You get a ton of food for a real inexpensive price!
The atmosphere of this place was awesome too. All in all, this is a place I would recommend visiting before you graduate from UA or if you’re just living in town.

This place is a wonderful place to eat. Located 30 miles outside Tuscaloosa. It’s a great restaurant. I have never had their pizza, but their barbecue is some of the best I’ve ever had. The baked beans tasted good and it was obvious that the beans were homeade. The spicy fries were warm when served with the rest of the food and were delicious was well. The sweet tea was yummy but my favorite thing about Big Al’s was the chocolate pie. They serve coconut and pecan as well but I only tried the chocolate. Get it! It’s so good! I love this restaurant and will definitely visit more often, even though its off the beaten path.

The pizza that they offer here is a front runner for any nationally fixed pizzeria out there, anyone would be pleased with what they offer in the way of a pizza pie. It is a bit out of the way for most people in the Tuscaloosa area, but it is defiantly worth the drive. If they were to go city wide I am sure Pizza Hut and Papa Johns alike would have a hard time keeping up, and that is coming from a guy that does like a Papa Johns pizza.
By the way, the Q is quite good as well, be sure to get a taste of that as well while you are in the area.

One of the best places in the WORLD to get a pizza! They have a very good menu (only serve pizza Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday!) lunch specials! Worth the drive where ever you are coming from!
