Great atmosphere, good price and even better food. Andrew and team are doing a fantastic job and both of their pizza types are family approved. Keep up the great work.

Stopped by on a road trip—so happy we did! Great NY thin and Sicilian style pizza. Fresh piped cannolis. Tastes like the city. Dined in, but wanted more, so took some to go too. Would stop again.

Very kind staff. Great New York thin crust pizza! Love the veteran support as well! Locals spots are the best.

I hadn’t tried smiling with hope since the ownership change and I am so glad I gave them a try. Andrew and his team were really fantastic to work with, I had a big order and they went above and beyond to help. The pizzas were excellent and so was the service. Five stars for sure!

Pizza is very delicious. Tap water tastes funny. We had Sicilian red pizza with jalapeños, pork sausage and pepperoni. It was soft at the top and crispy crust. Pepperoni is thin and becomes cup shape. Really love it.

Pizza was fire today! Service was incredible came out and checked on each customer and the cute lil red head behind the counter was very nice.

Hands down this is the best pizza place in town. It's little, and they only make so many pizzas. So get in there early if you want one. Its a little pricey but like I said it's the best.

🔥Hands down best pizza in Reno. Soft flaky crust, perfect amount of cheese, toppings covering the whole pizza, and the sauce 🤤. Cooked perfectly! Friendly staff!
Classic east coast pizza with a ton of effort to ensure it tastes amazing.. Every time I eat here it reminds my of living and working in NY and NJ in my youth.
Just had a pepperoni pizza and they have the recipe and craft dialed in for perfect pizza. The crunch of the crust, the flavor of the sauce, cheese, and pepperoni are all so perfect. Seriously best pizza of its kind in the area!

As someone from upstate NY, I know good Buffalo-style pizza, and Smiling With Hope Pizza delivers in every way! From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcome with their kindness and great service — but the real magic is in the food.
The Buffalo garlic knots? Hands down, the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly doughy, garlicky, and packed with that Buffalo-style kick. The pizza? Absolute perfection. The crust is that ideal balance of crisp and chewy, and the toppings are high-quality and generously portioned.
I was so impressed the first time that I made sure to return two anniversaries in a row — and it was just as amazing each time. If you love incredible pizza and warm, friendly service, this place is a must-visit. I’ll be back again (and again)!

Dave Portney would rate this a 7.8. Solid undercarriage, zero flop even after cooled, tight toppings, insane crunch, great crust, and excellent flavor.

Closet thing to authentic New York style pizza I’ve had on the west coast. The staff is amazing. Ten thumbs up for this place.

Great NY style pizza - better than most pizza places in NYC. We stop here whenever we’re in Reno and honestly considered moving to Reno for Smiling with Hope’s pizza.
