Awful. We ordered the BLT 12" sub to split. Should've got the first clue it was going to be bad when he asked if we wanted it cold or microwaved. Who microwaves a sub at a sub shop?? Obviously we went with "cold ". The bread was stale. Like several days old. There was barely any meat (see photo) and they used shredded mozzarella which was odd but ok. The mayo was very vinegary. We did take out or else I would've brought it back. I don't know, but all I can say was I ate two bites, hubby only one bite and we threw it out. One hour later our stomachs feel off. read more

Pizza is really good. The sauce was a little different than what we are used to but it's delicious! The crust is really good. Service is great AND there is vegan cheese for a delicious vegan pizza (pictured). When we come back to Nova Scotia, we'll return to Big Reds read more

It's the best pizza I ever had in my life. Hands down. They make the dough and sauce every day. I heard they r the best people to work for. Around for 47 years so it must be good read more

Big Red's - Pizza with the works - Pizza Near Me - Chester, Nova Scotia

big reds pizza is mediocre at best. They use oil for their dough so the crust is very chewy, not crispy and delicious. They are penny pinchers and don't add enough cheese, and on top of that their pizza is outrageously priced. They are horrible to their staff, which is why they are always hiring because they struggle to keep and hire anyone. On top of everything, their ingredients are cheap, the pepperoni and salami cause EVERYTHING to slide off the pizza since they completely layer the bottom of the pizza with the thin slices, and don't even get me started about how they ONLY serve sweet sauce some people like sweet sauce which is normally the only reason people even bother going to big reds but what people don't realize is lots of other places (including Jamal's which is literally 2 mins away from big reds) also serve sweet sauce you just have to ask for it. I don't think big reds deserves to stay in business and I'm surprised they still have, but they are simply taking up space. Better developments to Chester could be made that actually add something, instead of having another trashy pizza place ‍ Chester is not the town of pizza yet there are more than 3 places where you can get pizza already! Big reds is by far the worst. Do not support them. read more

Often hearing of Big Red's from people at work that live in the area decided to pop in an try it when visiting. To my surprise it was very good. It was funny when I was looking at the menu and seen hot dogs on it I chuckled as the BF asks me to place them on a homemade one. Liking my crust crunchy I asked that it was done well. So my first bite all I could hear was the sound of the crispy crust and tasting the toppings. Mushrooms,GP,P,HP and some spice made this pizza rock. Sometimes I am not able to eat certain pizzas due to sauce being to tangy but Red's was not overpowering nice flavour to it. Not only does Chester offer some of the most beautiful locations it also had one of the best little pizza hubs. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Big reds has gotten a little cheaper over the years with certain things but still the best pizza anywhere around that area.

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. read more

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. read more

Tried this location a few times, gave it a chance but there is no care taken in the preparation of the food. The dough was an inch thick in places and paper thin in others. Also doesn't taste near as good as the Lunenburg location. read more
