I used to work at Big Fred many years ago as a bartender. I didn’t like their pizza then. I tried it once again about 15 years ago and still YUCK.

Tonight (10/27/2008), my 17 year old son wanted to try something different. I thought well maybe Big Fred’s has changed or maybe my memory is faulty in exaggerating how bad their pizza tastes to me.

My son, who has an appetite to match a horse actually had fun …. making fun of how bad this pizza is. The thing that always gets me is how can a crust be so bad.

Our opinion. No stars for big Freds. It isn’t fit for the dumpster. However a slogan might be: Big Fred’s, Where the Pizza Tastes the Same as the Box.

Thanks for the Big Fred feedback Steve and Brian! The lines at BF speak for themselves…if not the salad.

Let us know your updated thoughts after so long Brian. There are some quality order recommendations in this thread.

I had Big Freds 10 years age and thought it was ok nothing to brag about i plan on trying it again because my wife keeps hearing it good. The funny thing is every body has a different taste some will love it some won’t and you won’t know till you try.My favorite food happens to be pizza and my favorite is La Casa’s i’ve been eating it since i was just a kid they have been around for over 50 years but some people have never herd of them or have herd of them but have never tried it.

I have being dining at Big Fred’s Pizza for over 25 years…where the waitresses have turned over many times…but the crew they had as late as a couple of years ago was the best…when they had Brandi- Allison- Shauna & Angie…with Mary at the front counter..those were the days….just of late there are NEW people in management & hostesses that are not nearly as friendly as the waitresses I mentioned earlier…I just mentioned to a friend of mine after we were just in there the other evening “that if it weren’t for ‘that salad’ which is the best in town without question I probably would not go in there anymore!!!!” A friendly smiling group of hostesses is really what draws the crowd…Sorry….just being real!!!

Brad,

You really do know your bbq! Great call on Jim’s. I would suggest everyone also goes a little further down Ames to Bill’s. I like to go get rib’s from both places and let people taste test. It is usually a draw. Veg-e was skeptical of my bbq talk on PO, so I better leave it at that.

Hmm…good question. I just moved back here after living all over for 8 years. When I lived here last, there was a place on about 38th and Ames called Jim’s Rib Haven. It was the best around at that time IMO.

Should we start CornOmaha.com? Just kidding…credit to both of you for your pizza pride. Brad, sounds like you know your bbq too. Which is your favorite in town?

Duke,

I really don’t care if you like Big Fred’s, Sortino’s, La Casa’s, or any of the pizza available here. I’m not trying to tell you what you should and should not enjoy. I just think it’s funny that you (and others) preface your comments with, “well I’m from NY…” It’s okay, though, many people from Memphis, KC, NC, Texas, etc do the same thing with BBQ. I guess I will do the same thing if I ever write a comment about corn
