on Citysearch Mar 29, 2009I 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... (more)

on Judys Book Nov 06, 2005If 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... (more)

on Judys Book Aug 18, 2005Big 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... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 03, 2004Big 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... (more)
