50 Best Pizza Restaurants near St. Matthews

“I haven't been here in probably 10years. I remember the pizza, particularly the crust being top notch. I believe they've changed the recipe, though it was still very good. I hated that they didn't have a menu, we had to scan the little code on our phone to see what to order and worse we had to scan a separate little code to see the drinks, so I went with water and bypassed one scan. Otherwise, there weren't really any complaints. It was quite busy. Everyone seemed friendly enough and it was your typical sports bar without much memorabilia on the walls. The food was good, ok portions, average prices.“

“I go to the one on Hubbard's Lane and this is the best pizza in the city.“

“Gigantic slices that are delicious! If I lived in Tullahoma I would eat here everyday.“

“The pizza isnt life changing, but you will sure be glad to eat it. I got a couple of slices. The meat lover was good, but I didn't care for the chicken ranch and I reckon garlic type sauce. Id been happier with a solid pepperoni. The staff all seemed nice and welcoming for being there so late like I was. I definitely will be back.“

“Great experience food was amazing! Crack sticks are a game changer!“

“Aimee was an excellent server. She was very friendly and even remembered my drink order from my last visit. She, Blyth and Ava always make an effort to say hi and make us feel welcomed. The BoomBozz at Westport Village is a standard for all.“

“Ryan was our server this evening and he was absolutely amazing! We had a large group for our kiddos graduation. Thank you for the great food, atmosphere, and drinks! Was well worth coming from Texas 💕“

“Just had a wonderful experience, the staff was awesome at explaining everything to us as newbies. Took my husband axe throwing for Father’s Day and we had a blast! The atmosphere was lowkey and unassuming, and the other players were awesome at rooting everyone on despite us all being strangers. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose you’ll be guaranteed to have fun no matter what. The whole setup is so innovative but also very user friendly. We will definitely be back!“

“My friends and I got their pizza with vegan cheese, vegan pepperoni and vegan sausage and it was amazing! We’re stoked about their new plant based options and it’s going to be our new go to spot. The customer service was top notch too.“

“You won't regret it! Delish!“

“Old School NY Pizza is hands-down one of the best spots in Louisville for that authentic New York-style slice, and I’ve become a regular for good reason. The staff here is genuinely great—friendly, fast, and always welcoming with a smile. They make you feel like a local even on your first visit, and they’re quick to get your order right, whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or calling in for pickup. The salads are surprisingly excellent—fresh, generous portions, and perfectly dressed. They’re a solid choice if you’re balancing out the pizza indulgence or just want something light and tasty. But let’s talk about the pizza—it’s legit. The slices at lunch are a steal: big, foldable NY-style with that perfect thin, crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and gooey cheese that hits all the right notes. You can grab a couple slices and a drink for an unbeatable price, and it’s consistently hot and ready without feeling rushed or greasy. The whole pies are just as good if you’re feeding a group. The vibe is pure neighborhood gem—casual, laid-back, and comfortable. It’s got that classic pizzeria feel without any pretension, making it perfect for a quick bite, family dinner, or just chilling with friends. If you’re craving real-deal NY pizza in Louisville, do yourself a favor and hit up Old School NY Pizza. You won’t be disappointed—5 stars all the way! 🍕“

“Pizza is amazing!!! So yummy. The bartender is HORRIBLE. Stood at bar showing pictures to someone and totally ignored me. I had to end up leaving and have someone else get our drinks. She was extremely rude!“

“Reviews are typically about the great food (rightly so), however I would like to give a shout out to the bartenders, especially Reyna. Rena is a true delight. Attentive, knows how to make a good drink, and most importantly takes care of her customers and keeps it fun. Awsome atmosphere and service!“

“Visiting Louisville and two days in a row coming to this fabulous establishment! Absolutely amazing food and Lexi at the bar offered the best service!“

“AMAZING pizza. And everything else. Everyone I’ve take there LOVES it!!!! My favorite pizza in Lville.“

“One of top pizza place in Louisville.“

“I placed an online order that was sent to door dash to deliver. When I got my order the dasher took a BITE of my boyfriend’s personal pan pizza, took my daughter’s pepperoni pizza, and my extra garlic bread. Here is the kicker I TIPPED 15% when I checked out, SO I’M INSTANTLY IRRITATED!! I called Derby City ofc they didn’t answer because it’s a busy Friday night. When I got there and told them what happened and showed them the food I received, the manager immediately called Door Dash and got the driver banned from delivering at any of their stores. At 9:54PM right as they were preparing to close they made my entire order over and gave us FREE brownies & drinks. The manager took it a step further and refunded my money on her own. I appreciate everyone there for going above and beyond to make it right, you guys are appreciated! Everything was fresh & delicious.“

“The most positive thing about Blaze is that during the lunch rush, they had a personable person dedicated to the dining room, making sure everybody says happy and everything is clean. Hover, that can't entirely make up for the pizza being mediocre.“

“Excellent pizza with a good brew selection. I look forward to visiting again!“

“Love the post and their creative tasty pizza! The house salad with ranch was next level good. It’s nice to have a place this good i can take my fur baby on lunch dates 🐶❤️🍕“

“I’ve been eating at Impellizzeri’s since 1984. First time at this location. Was not disappointed. Our waitress was very polite and helpful. Anything on the menu is good. If pizza is your thing then this is the place. Best pizza this side of the Mississippi.“

“Delicious pizza, friendly staff. Highly recommend!“

“​We had a solid meal overall with a few hits and a minor miss.
​The pizza and stromboli were easily the highlights of the night—cooked perfectly, full of flavor, and definitely something I’d come back for. On the flip side, the chicken tender appetizer was completely drenched in sauce; tone that back a bit, and they’d be great.
​Their beer selection was impressive and offered a nice variety. The menu itself is a little restrictive, as the limited ingredient options take away a bit of points if you like to customize your food.
​Our server was fantastic, attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.“

“My first visit today, decided on a late lunch. Very good pizza and wings on the buffet. Had a great conversation with the owners. Will definitely be back when in Louisville.“

“First time eating here and I can't believe how Amazing the food was!! it's my husband birthday and it was a Hit!! Our Gal Kara ...what can I say. ..You are the Best!! Totally in my top 3 places to eat at now!! Definitely Recommend!!“

“Had lunch today and it was fantastic! Best smash burger around, I will request one pattie next time ,its a big burger but delicious 😋 Cam was our server and he was so sweet and prompt and made sure we had everything was good and we had everything we needed! 10/10“

“I've always enjoyed Blaze Pizza because I can build my pizza exactly the way I like it. It never gets old, and it's always delicious.
This location at Paddock Shops feels much bigger than other Blaze restaurants I've visited, and the atmosphere is open and relaxing. It's a great place to enjoy a meal with family.
One of the best parts is that after dinner, we can walk around and do a little shopping, which makes the whole outing even more enjoyable.
This has become our family's favorite pizza place, and we'll definitely keep coming back!“

“This is a good place to visit great customer service thanks to Anthony outdone himself took care of everything I needed.“

“I got the chicken bacon ranch, and cheese sticks. Hey dude, it never skipped a beat..Hands down one of the best places I've ate.

I had some leftovers and I'm eating them now be jealous. It made me wanna write a review. Thank you for the good ass pizza... whoever made it, it was.strait 🔥“

“My sister and I shared a wonderful evening at Cuvee last night. We overindulged on some recommended reds, and thoroughly enjoyed sharing a few small plates and the dinner special of salmon over fettuccini pasta. We were pampered by the staff and treated to a birthday dessert. We can't wait to come back.“

“I’d been waiting for this Giovanni’s to open, and it was absolutely worth it. The pizza is elite and so are the subs. I got to mention the buffet is also impressive. What really sets this place apart is the staff though. They’re incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome every time. Giovanni’s has quickly become one of my favorite spots in J-town.“

“big fan of the blonde ale“

“great place! Great food and atmosphere!“

“Good Fellas is often our date spot in Louisville, amazing slices, fantastic cocktails, and great ambiance. Meg, the bartender, is a recent addition and absolutely holding it down on the bar. Great conversationalist, phenomenal bartender, and lowkey a mind reader once she gets to know you. The kitchen staff is also always beyond amazing, interesting pizza combinations and great customer service. Overall, the team makes or breaks and the team is doing a fantastic job.

Always enamored with Good Fellas, beyond impressed by this most recent visit. So glad to have a Good Fellas locally.“

“I absolutely love emmysquared pizza! Yummy for lunch or dinner. Our server, Shannon Scanlan, did an excellent job! I recommend it to my friends.“

“While traveling in Louisville, we decided we had to try Louisville style pizza, of course. The recommendation from Google and Yelp was Impellizzeri's hands down, so off we went! We arrived about 7 on Saturday night, it was busy, but we were able to be seated within 10 min. Amazing location with street parking available. Great selection of Bourbon and beers available, and a great menu. They offer 4 styles of pizza: thin, original, thick, and Sicilian. We went with original, and it was perfect crust, with a chewy edge. Louisville style is two layers of cheese and toppings, with a slightly thicker than thin crust. We loved it, but it's very filling. Lots of leftovers, which is never bad. We always get 16in to maximize our slice to pizza ratio. Service was fast and attentive, their pizzas do take longer than your average, but it was worth it. I think ours took about 25 min.“

“I’m not a huge fan of pizza but when I’m in the mood for it I need a pizza that’s saucy and loaded with toppings.
I ordered a Craft House Special pizza and a Pizza Salad with ranch.
Never have I ever had a heavy salad 🤣🤣 That thang was loaded with toppings! I typically have to add toppings to my salad once I get home but this salad I had to literally remove toppings because there were more toppings than lettuce. (This is not a complaint by any means)
I did however request for my pizza to be baked well done because I enjoy a crispy crust. Next time I will be sure to also request extra sauce because either there was very little sauce applied or the extra bake time dried it out somehow.
Nonetheless the food was tasty and I will likely return the next time my taste buds call for pizza and salad. 🤤 🍕 🤤“

“Had a great time watching the games and service by Joe C. was the best we’ve had anywhere in a long time. He takes pride in his work and it shows.“

“UPDATE 12/16: Paul was fired and GM Jeff 1000% made it right with me. He's a great manager that understands how to treat customers. He leads by example and has a great staff here. 12/10: Paul is rude and unprofessional. I ate here often until my encounter with him today.“

“Had a wonderful with a lovely staff and atmosphere. The staff was attentive and friendly. Fantastic experience. Our party tried three different cocktails, all of which were a perfect balance between alcohol and flavor. My favorite drink was the “NY State of Mind”. We had the garlic knots and I can not express enough that these were the best garlic knots I’ve had. Pizza was flavorful and the crust was crispy. Could not have picked a better place for lunch. Next time I find myself in town, I will definitely be stopping by again.“

“After reading the few reviews I guess I had high expectations. After we walked in it took a while (5 minutes or so), to be greeted. Our server was very helpful in regard to menu choices, drinks, and all of the above. Food came out hot. Wings were ok (kinda hot), and the stromboli was pretty good. Not alot of pre-bussing by our server After our meal. All in all i had a good experience. I'll go back.“

“Cozy environment. Delicious gluten free pizza options. Finally a gluten free pizza with plenty of cheese and toppings! 🤩“

“Great pizza. Great Crust. Great prices. Will be back. You gotta try it!“

“I’ve had better pizzas but I’ve had absolutely worse pizzas. Cindy is the GOAT though so that earns this place a 5th star for sure!“

“Pizza Jones was such a great find! I believe the owner himself was cooking the pizzas, and he made the experience even better by sharing his personal picks for the speciality pizzas. He was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and even pointed out his awesome superhero mural, which added a fun, unique vibe to the place.

Our pizza and cheese bread came out quickly, and they were absolutely delicious — fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can really tell there’s pride and care put into both the food and the atmosphere here.

If you’re looking for great pizza with friendly service and a cool, local feel, Pizza Jones is definitely worth a visit.“

“Some of the best food in Louisville!“

“Absolutely love yall. My only complaint is that there isn't one closer to home. Preston Hwy has a lot of development opportunities btw lol.“

“Always delicious, fresh food! Our family loves all the pizza we have tried! They have great wings and a big salad which is perfect to satisfy everyone. Highly recommend!!!“
