Big Ed's Pizza - Oak Ridge

Best pizza I have ever had! I head to Big Ed's every chance I get!

I have eaten this pizza for over 45 years. Tonight though I was very disappointed. I ordered 1 large and 1 medium pizza NO BAKE. With 16+people working it took 42 min to get my pizza and I still need to go home and cook it. I still love the pizza but the Service needs to be trained. Less staff talking and on there phones and more care about the customers would do a world of difference. I love to eat here but be ready to wait and don't even think about ordering a beer you would be better off brewing it at your table. I hope they see this and get a manager that cares about the customer.

I havent been here in 10 yrs at least, but def not as good as i remember.

Established in 1970 and sticking to what works this impromptu stop for pizza was a delight! Our visit was on a Saturday afternoon and it was bustling but we got a seat at the counter for two. On the menu, there is pizza. And only pizza. Great! That’s why we are here anyway. The dough is made in house and was probably our favorite part of the pie. We had sausage, mushroom, and pepperoncini. Sticking to the original way, pizzas are cut with scissors. After learning this, it explains our mismatched slices, not that we cared a bit. The soda is bottomless. The beer choices were great, and only $4 a goblet. Aside from the food, Big Ed’s makes service a priority. The first four times someone came to our table it was a different server. Then Tabby stuck around. She was witty and personable. She was super helpful with some establishment back story and helped us “fluff” our to go bag. The bag is Big Ed’s tradition. She also advised us there is a gift shop upstairs. It’s outside through a separate entry left of the restaurant entry door. We shall return…with family and friends.

I tried big Ed?s pizza for the first time today. I ordered a small three topping pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon. It cost just over $14 and I am truly disappointed. The bottom was well overcooked and the sausage and bacon were barely there. Iwill only return to the joint if I am compensated for my loss. I would like to give them another chance after reading thepositive reviews. I did place my order Togo and was not aware of the inferior product until I returned home. I surely would havesent the order back if I were dining in. Since I live 35 minutes away I decided not to return to voice my concerns. Pictures areattached.
