I actually had Big Ed's Pizza before they opened and had it in Huntsville Alabama in the Big Ed's Ed Neusel sold. The Oak Ridge Big Ed's to many WAS the STANDARD everyone who ate a Big ED's Pizza used to compare any other pizza in the world. Even after Mr and Mrs Neusel passed away to most there was no competition when Paul and Eddie the eldest and youngest sons took over then David who was never interested in the business left a fantastic other career and muscled the business and exiled his brothers in a greedy power grab continues to raise prices while the ingredients on each pizza shrink to laughable levels. The unique taste remains and business thrives because of tradition but be prepared to pay in gold as it is the most expensive pizza I have ever had.
We love it!!! We first visited in '92. The place is all about local sports. A bunch of us on an Intramural Volleyball team form Carson-Newman College stopped by. We named our team Big Ed's and He gave us all shirts. Big Ed is a very big man with a very big heart. The pizza was great too.
A fun, local favorite for casual get-togethers, such as celebrating your team's win. Good thin-crust pizza to eat with your hands (small plastic utensils on request), soda by the pitcher. Lots of local sports memorabilia adds to the decor.
