Big Ed's Pizza
Big Ed's Pizza is an Italian pizzeria in Huntsville that serves handcrafted pizzas and Italian dishes. The place uses original gas ovens from the 1960s and prepares dough and sauce by hand, giving each dish a homemade feel.
The restaurant was founded in 1961 by Big Ed and quickly became known throughout the city. In 1969, Steve Denton took over the business, and the family has continued running it with the original recipes and methods.
Big Ed's Pizza carries the name of its founder and reflects Italian handcraft traditions that have connected generations of Huntsville visitors. The family continues running it with the same handmade recipes and preparation methods used since opening.
The restaurant is located at an easy-to-reach spot in Huntsville, close to shops and other businesses. It gets busy especially in the evenings, so arriving early or allowing waiting time is wise.
The restaurant still uses original gas ovens from the 1960s, which slow down baking but give the pizza crust a special texture and flavor. This old baking method is rarely seen in modern food service.
