Livermore's Big Apple Pizza — Restaurant in Livermore

I love this pizza, it's definitely my favorite in Livermore, but I am SO annoyed at the fact that they only deliver through DoorDash or other third-party delivery services. They used to deliver through the restaurant and it was great, never had an issue. The reason I'm so annoyed about this is that a few years back (probably when DoorDash was a relatively new thing) I actually ordered through DoorDash, but I had to change my order after it went through so I called Big Apple directly, and the person I talked to WENT OFF (not aggressively) just saying, "please don't order through DoorDash, it really sucks for us. Order directly from the restaurant and we will deliver. DoorDash charges so many fees, we lose so much money through DoorDash... BLAH BLAH BLAH" and of course I was like "you're so right, they up-charge, support local businesses, etc...."

Well, all to say, a couple weeks later I call to order a pizza and they say "Oh we no longer deliver, please order through DoorDash." I was so freaking annoyed. I am not happy with this change, because DoorDash does up charge. There are so many fees included and I just hate that we can't call a local pizza shop and order delivery anymore.

TLDR; pizza is really good, but they don't deliver and it's really annoying to me.

The pizza is also pretty pricey, I called the restaurant directly to order for pickup and paid $105 for 3 larges (one combo, one pepperoni, and one 2 topping). I think it's worth it for this pizza, though since...

Found this place while looking for NY style pizza when visiting from out of town. The bad? Only thing bad is that this is in a busy location, parking is difficult due to construction around the corner. If you are picking up or dining in you have to factor this time in.

Everything else was great. The pizza crust is two thumbs up from me 👍. If you have a bad pizza crust you have a bad pizza and this did not disappoint. The medium pizza was also larger than other pizza places, but what do you expect if you want to fold your slice! The garlic bread was ok, but the one thing on the menu that I was impressed with was the cannolis. They are very clearly made fresh, as evidenced by the fact that they were crunchy by the time I got back to my hotel room. They are made with ricotta, not cream cheese, so props for that. More chocolate chips would not be looked down upon. 10/10 will...
