Big Ed's is a very good pizza restaurant. It's my favorite pizza in the East Tennessee area, actually. The place has been there a very long time, which should say something about the pizza. Is Big Ed' ... more on TripAdvisor

Best pizza, atmosphere in Oak Ridge and probable the South for pizza... take a few minutes (and an ice cold beer) to walk around and take a look at the wall's... history all around (UT football, baske ... more on TripAdvisor

I think several of the negative reviews have come from people who go to Big Ed's expecting too much. First of all, they DO use paper plates and flimsy plasticware, so if that is too low-class for you, ... more on TripAdvisor

Yes the paper plates were a joke as were the tiny plastic forks. But I got to say I liked the pizza a lot and the beer was cold! The old place has some character ... more on TripAdvisor

We went back to Big Ed;s from West Knoxville after a year layoff. The pizza was great. Being from New Jersey, I know pizza. The paper plates and plastic forks help keep costs down. Who cares? Our serv ... more on TripAdvisor

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. ... more on 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 ... more on 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 ... more on 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 ... more on CitySearch
