Big Red's - Chester

Ok....I read one of the previous reviews about the pizza takes some getting used to come on! If that 's what you have to say about it please just admit its kinda on the yuck said. The reason it 's a popular spot is Chester is closed half of the year and the other 2 months its open (see what I did there? nothing is open past 5pm and good luck to you on sundays. I guess any pizza is good pizza if you are super hungry.

We just had a crappy dinner at Big Reds in Chester. I was going to share a sub with my husband but it was gross. The girl working there told us it was one of their best sellers. I ended up with a slice of pepperoni pizza the sauce was very sweet. We bought apple juice for our young boys to share and one of the red plastic cups leaked everywhere. Another of the plastic cups had a huge crack in it. I actually started to worry/question whether they were even clean. I think it 's time the restaurant looks at their cups. One of my boys ended up spilling his drink. The girl gave us a manky cloth so we could clean the floor ourselves. The last straw for me was when I came out of the bathroom and I found a sharp red knife (with the tip broken off) just sitting on top of a flat of pop in the actual restaurant area. Random and dangerous with little ones. I wasn 't impressed with the service or the restaurant. As much as I like to support local, I wouldn 't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Big Red's has something you never thought you'd find in a village as tiny as Chester: incredible pizza. I was first introduced to Big Red's when I was dating my ex husband some 20 years ago. At the time, I was a bit taken aback by their unique sauce and topping combinations. Hot dogs? On pizza? You're kidding, right? But over time, Big Red's grew on me. Even though I no longer live in Chester, I find myself down there from time to time. Whenever I can, I drop by Big Red's and get a pizza to go. Sure, it has to be reheated when I get home but it's just that good. Big Red's claim to fame is their sauce. Sweet and tangy all at the same time, they apply it liberally under the toppings and sometimes, over them as well. They have any number of toppings from which to choose as well as themed pizzas the Saucy CàNàDà eh! puts more sauce over the cheese, which means it's just goodness layered onto goodness over a crust that's chewy but not tough. We developed a favourite that I've kept to this day: works, no hot dogs, extra cheese, extra sauce. Try it you'll never go back to other pizzas!

Big Red's is well know in Chester. The pizza here does take some getting use to, but for the hungry mouths around town, it does the trick. Some people Love Big Reds, so for that and the fact they have been here a long time they get three stars. I have had friends come and eat here and rave about it. Myself, I am not so much of a Huge fan, but will eat it if someone buys. Overall Big Red's has a great reputation.

Pre-fab-tasting pizza with a wide untopped crust ring, very sweet sauce and mediocre quality meat. I would not go back, especially given that there is a decent place 3 minutes from Red's called Jamal's pizza.
