My three daughters and I ate at Smashing Tomato last night and as usual the food was absolutely amazing and the service was outstanding. We’re so lucky to have real Neapolitan pizza restaurant in Lex.
The best pizza. Delivery is awful. Pizza is constantly delivered late and cold. Happened the 1st time I ordered and it just happened again today. 21 minutes delayed. pizza is cold.

Smashing Tomato Pizzeria at Fayette Mall is a popular spot known for its quality pizza and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant features a nicely decorated space with European-style yellow walls and dark wood furniture, creating an authentic Italian feel. The staff are generally kind, prompt, and attentive, with some regulars appreciating the personal touch of staff who come out to speak with guests. The menu offers a variety of items including wood-fired pizzas, salads, soups, and seasonal specials, which are often enjoyed by loyal customers who visit weekly or during visits from out of town.
Customers particularly enjoy the pizza, especially the 4-Cheese Mini Pizza, which is praised for its cheesy goodness, chewy crust, and freshness, reflecting the quality of the dough. The San Marzano Neapolitan sauce on the pizzas adds to the flavor, although some felt the crust could be a bit more crispy and bright in flavor. Salads and Parmesan breadsticks are also popular choices.
While the food consistently receives high praise, some reviews mention minor issues such as the soft pizza crust when eating takeout, and the lack of parmesan shakers at the tables, which can be frustrating for parmesan lovers. Additionally, service experiences vary, with some noting a less warm demeanor from front-of-house staff. Overall, Smashing Tomato remains a well-loved restaurant for families, friends, and date nights, offering delicious food and a cozy, inviting environment.
