It's alright by kristiT on 5/17/2010 via Citysearch
It's alright. It's probably the best pizza I've eaten in TN. since I moved here 2 years ago, maybe. It wasn't the 2 inch menus, or the tiny paper plates, or the flimsy forks, you get there. None of that bothered me, the service was okay. I…

I managed to talk with Big Ed's son and David Nuessel which now runs the restaurant and discovered the man, Just like his father has a heart of gold to the needy, Military and Law enforcement. When his father started the place back in…

These people are nuts! by laura149 on 3/30/2009 via Citysearch
I have lived all over the US, and I can safely say that Big Ed's is the best pizza I have ever had. It's a small, no frills local place, so if you're looking for pomp and circumstance you're probably not going to be welcome anyway. It's…

I was born and raised in the pizza capital of the world -- Chicago. I have lived in the South for over 20+ years, and cannot state this strongly enough ... people in ths South DO NOT know what good pizza is. \r \r I cannot understand what…

The place is awful, the pizza is bad and overpriced by rytm2000 on 5/20/2008 via Citysearch
I dont understand why this place is so popular, Its old and ugly. The food is bad and so is the service, They have tiny, cheap, paper plates.. , the vegetables are not fresh, the cheese is awful, and the pizza is greasy and overpriced.

If you like BURNT, GREASY pizza...Then THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!! by lordbest on 3/5/2007 via Citysearch
I have been a caterer, server, bartender,cook, Restaurant Manager, Banquet Manager, and Assistant Director of F&B. I know about the Food Service Industry. Big Ed's Pizza has a Killer Reputation that is TOTALLY undeserved. I have been…

EXCELLENT by Jamie R on 11/8/2005 via Insider Pages
The pizza is out of this world. The staff is great. The atmosphere is very comfortable. They do not take credit cards so take cash. I love this place

Big Ed's IS pizza in East Tennessee by Maria H. on 11/6/2005 via Judy's Book
If you haven't been to Big Ed's, you haven't had pizza in East Tennessee. It's easily worth the drive from Knoxville. I'm not sure what it is about this pizza that makes it so delicious. We're boring and always get plain cheese and it's…

Big Ed's Pizza by Ashley A on 9/2/2005 via Insider Pages
This is the finest pizza I have ever eaten. They sell beer there too. The place in small, but the service is big! You can watch the food being made while waiting on your own. This is definitely a Friday night hot spot! Highly…

Can you say AWESOME!!!! by Shasta H. on 8/18/2005 via Judy's Book
Big Ed's is an Icon. This is the best pizza that you will find in the area. Yes, it look like a hole in the wall, and you are just as likely to find a roach on the floor as you are a straw. And yes, I am frightened to go downstairs to the…

Big Ed's is the place for pizza by Gonzalo S. on 8/11/2005 via Judy's Book
Pizza is one of America's favorite food. If you are looking for a place to get the best pizzas since it was invented in Italy, be sure to go to Big Ed's. Located perfectly in Oak Ridge, it has a very nice location and plenty of free…

They make their own dough! by Andrew G. on 8/4/2005 via Judy's Book
If you’re looking in pizza in Oak Ridge, you owe it to yourself to eat at Big Ed’s. After all, it’s a tradition in the town! The restaurant is a fairly dimly lit small place that’s often smoky but the pizza is divine. All the dough is…

Yummmmmmmmm by donnatae on 8/1/2005 via Citysearch
I have been going to Big Ed's since high school. We'd all gather there after basketball games. I went to Norris High School and we didn't have a football team. Seems nothing has changed exept to get tastier. Even tho Ed is gone, his…

Great place to eat by Elizabeth T on 5/25/2005 via Insider Pages
Big Eds Pizza is very good pizza. It is worth the hole in your mouth from the hot cheese burn (you could not wait the two minutes to let it cool down). It is thin crust with lots of cheese. The pizza is a little small, so get the…

Great Pizza and Atmosphere! by odbowles on 12/14/2004 via Citysearch
I will go ahead and say pizza is my favorite food and I have eaten lots of pizza in my life. As far as I am concerned Big Ed's Pizza is definately the best pizza within an 8 hour drive. The atmosphere is great and you can watch as your…

Big Ed's by wyldbil on 8/4/2004 via Citysearch
Big Ed's has fair pizza, but I was largely underwhelmed. Roman's in west Knoxville has a MUCH tastier pie. Big Ed's has a great rep, but does not live up to it in my eyes- gruff service and average pizza, though it IS better than pizza…
