Is Pluto bigger than its moons?

Yes it is.

However, its largest moon, Charon, is so large that one can almost think of Pluto and Charon as being a double minor planet system as Charon does not orbit Pluto as much as Pluto and Charon both orbiting a common point near Pluto, because of the effect of both Pluto's gravity on Charon as well as Charon's gravitational pull on Pluto.
