9 Best Pizza Restaurants in Franklin

“What an absolute delight! We stumbled upon this hidden gem of an Italian restaurant, and it truly lived up to its name. From the moment we walked in, the cozy, inviting atmosphere made us feel right at home. We decided to try their pizza, and it was a revelation! The crust was perfectly crispy yet wonderfully chewy, the sauce had that rich, authentic tomato flavor, and the cheese was perfectly melted. I absolutely loved it, and the kids devoured their slices with enthusiastic approval. It’s safe to say it was a hit with the whole family! Beyond the fantastic food, the service was warm and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. This is definitely a place we'll be coming back to again and again. If you're looking for incredible Italian food in a charming setting, this hidden jewel is a must-visit!“

“I saw a comment on youtube that these guys delivered someone's grandparents a pizza during Helene, later calling the customer back to let them know their people are good. This is what we need in NC right now, so thank yall and God bless those who were working that night <3“

“Our first time trying Franklin Pizza Tavern yesterday, and we couldn’t even believe how good the food was! We ate ourselves sick on the Fire on the Mtn pizza, a cheese pizza, and the cheese bread. The best pizza we have ever had and we are so lucky to have discovered this place in our little town. 12/10 recommend that everyone tries the pizza and everything else on the menu. You will not regret it!!“

“I live out of town and had a delivery placed for a family member to celebrate their birthday. The family member’s address has been changed and the new address is not updated on Google maps at this time. The delivery driver Casey was sent to the wrong address and when he called me to ask for directions we got him to the right place! Casey was amazing! He was so kind and respectful on the phone and never seemed frustrated at having to drive all the way across town to get to the right place! He deserves a raise! I was on the phone with my family member when he delivered the order and he even said “Happy Birthday!” Thank you Casey for doing such a great job!“

“If you’re looking for a pizza experience that blows past the ordinary, Papa John’s in Franklin—under the leadership of Skyler, the GM—has got you covered. From the moment you walk in, there’s a vibe that sets this location apart. The staff operates like a well-tuned engine, clearly driven by Skyler’s dynamic management style. You can tell right away that this isn’t just another pizza shop; it’s a crew that takes pride in what they serve.

The pizzas? Absolute perfection. Fresh dough that springs to life in the oven, toppings so meticulously placed they look like art, and that signature garlic sauce waiting to ruin your diet plans in the best way possible. The consistency here is unreal. Whether you order at 2 PM on a slow Tuesday or 8 PM on a chaotic game night, every slice feels like it was crafted with care.

What really makes this Papa John’s stand out is the level of service. Skyler runs a tight ship, and you feel it. Deliveries are fast, orders are accurate, and even the smallest interactions—whether it’s a quick “thank you” or a “have a great day”—feel genuine. Skyler has managed to turn what could be a standard fast food joint into a neighborhood staple where everyone feels welcome.

And don’t even get me started on the customer-first mentality. Got a complicated order? No problem. The staff handles it without a blink. Something goes wrong? Skyler makes it right before you even have time to feel frustrated. It’s clear that this isn’t just about pizza for him—it’s about community, relationships, and ensuring every customer leaves happier than when they arrived.

The energy at this Papa John’s mirrors that of a winning sports team: driven, fun, and focused on delivering results every single time. If you haven’t tried this location yet, you’re seriously missing out. Skyler and his crew are turning dough and cheese into an experience you’ll want to keep coming back for.“

“Ignore any of the negative reviews, because you ABSOLUTELY NEED to try the Cuban-Quesadilla!!! The quesadilla came in a very generous portion (I'm a pretty big guy, and still resorted to splitting it with my wife... and we still ended up taking some home in a to-go box) and it was unbelievably delicious. It's everything you want from a savory Cuban sandwich, but thrown together in a perfect lightly-crisped tortilla. We also enjoyed some Cuban-coffee that was to-die-for and some beautiful and yummy croquettes. Do yourself a favor and give the kids a few bucks to blow at the arcade while you and yours get to enjoy a lovely Cuban date.“
