Tennessee-Ohio State not played often, when the Vols defeated the Buckeyes 20-14 in the 1996 Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida. The game featured a pair of huge stars. The Vols were led by then-sophomore quarterback Peyton Manning, who went on to became a Pro Football Hall of Famer and one of the greatest passers in NFL history. No. 8 Ohio State defeated No. 9 Tennessee 42-17 in the 2024 College Football Playoff first round on December 21, 2024. The Buckeyes dominated early, leading 21-0 in the first quarter and 42-10 by the fourth, led by Will Howard's two touchdown passes to Jeremiah Smith and strong rushing performances from TreVeyon Henderson and Quinshon Judkins. Clinton has many Knoxville fans, and nearly all are wearing Orange Ball hats whilst dining. I goto my XT5 to retrieve my OSU National Champs hat. At any rate Gondolier is full and most folks are having Italian or pizza. Caveat: This place is too good to order pizza.

We were welcomed upon entering, seated promptly and the waitress, Victoria, came to welcome and take drink orders right away. We received prompt and very courteous service. Victoria was a pleasure to have as a waitress. She engaged in conversation and smiled. Things you would expect when giving your money for a service but are rarely afforded anymore. The food was delicious!! There was a good variety to choose from. We ended up with the gyro plate and sandwich. The flavor was great and everything was toasty warm upon receiving. Thank you, Victoria, for the outstanding service and kindness!

Big Ed's is definitely still the best tasting pizza around. However, unfortunately, they now have…read morethe rudest managers. If you want to be happy with your pizza, just be ready to be ridiculed for asking for what you like and what you are PAYING for. The servers are wonderful. But they have to ask permission from the managers to make the customer happy. The managers act like you are trying to get it for free or they are just put out that they have to correct something that is not right. All managers are very young so maybe it is just inexperience. I truly hope that attitude changes. It's sad. Ed would be so disappointed.

I was in the hospital the 1st week of July and my husband stopped and picked up a large pizza to share with me in my room. I should have eaten the hospital food; it would have been much better. BURNT beyond eatable. You could hammer nails with the crust it was so dry, hard and burnt. You could smell that it was burnt before opening the box. The nurse walked in my room and asked what was burning. That BURNT! The crust was black top and bottom. Why would your employees send that out? Bad management. So apparently, we did not learn our lesson, so I stopped on my way home from the hospital today and ordered a pizza to take home. Thought we would give them another chance. We live an hour from Universal pizza. I waited OVER 30 minutes for a to-go pizza. There were only 8 customers in the place, 4 of them were already eating when I got there. There were more employees than paying customers. The toppings on the Big Bang pizza were all in the middle of the pizza and nothing to edge but 3" or more of crust with no toppings. And the cut was crazy. One pizza only had 4 slices-2 small slices and 2 extra-large slices. The other pizza had 6 slices but 2 were so tiny that I've seen bigger food on a child menu.

The pizza traveled well but the knots were steamed to excess in the carryout container and became so chewy that they were inedible by the time we ate. The pizza, however, was fantastic. The crust was tasty and fluffy and the cheese and sauce flavorful. The pepperoni was perfectly crisped and had a slight kick. Aside from A Dopo, this may now be our favorite pizza in the area. We look forward to trying it again soon.

There is a closer Hoss to me but I always go to the Clinton Highway location. The Pizza is good, it's a tier above the national chains, and their Wednesday medium pizza special is a good value. I like a pizza that has a fluffy crust. We go here once a week and get a "thin" crust which is about the same chew as a local chains, their normal crust is a bit more fluffy - I like both normal & thin honestly. Their bone in wings are on point! Huge wings, with a well cooked, skin is not soggy - perfect. It's close, I like their specialty pizzas, their wings are better than the other local cafe options - way better than any chain. There is better pizza around - but the servers, the wings, the specialty pizza and flavors, I find myself here nearly every week so 4 stars.
