“We just enjoyed pizza at luigi's! It was amazing!! Tommy the owner was super nice and friendly! Ardo was our server and did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed talking to both of them! We loved the Christian music playing! This is authentic and delicious pizza which takes a bit to make but it is so worth the wait!! They use fresh ingredients, the crust is done to perfection!!“

“fantastic meal. I don't say this ever, but I don't think I could have made the steak any better myself. 5 stars.“

“We ordered two slices of pizza and two drinks. The service was quick. It was a little pricey, but not too bad. Our friend ordered three slices of pizza and a drink. When the girl brought it she was super confused about dropping it off to us but other than that, everything was good. We were in a rush to get where we were going so it was a place that we chose but well worth the stop.“

“Sammie was an amazing waitress! She was very sweet and accommodating at a time when the restaurant was filled to capacity. Delicious food and better service!“

“Lovely atmosphere, nice menu, good portions, delicious food.“

“Meals are fantastic here. Their specials are great, especially the Chicken Marsala and the Italian Plattter. They are very conscientious of allergies. The manager Jacob and Josh will go over everything with the chef so you can make the right decision. The prices are very good. You never go home hungry. Its a nice atmosphere, sometimes with Italian music. Their kitchen and bar are very clean. There are four menus including a kids menu. So there's always something for everyone. One of the best restaurants in Sevier County.“

“Had dinner while on vacation. Had the Gorgonzola penne chicken. It was so good! My husband had the Jonny’s special (lasagna and Chicken parm) it was great. Everyone was so nice.“

“We’ve eaten at a LOT of Olive Gardens over the years, and every single one has given us a different experience — all depending on the server long before the food even hits the table.

Here in Pigeon Forge, we enjoyed an early lunch from the lunch menu, which is always our go‑to. We stuck with our usual — the schnitz/spag combo and a soup (because winter demands soup!) — and it delivered those reliable flavours we’ve grown to love.

The atmosphere was friendly and exactly what you expect from an Olive Garden: warm, steady, and familiar.

If you’re visiting, I’d absolutely recommend taking advantage of the VALUE on offer at any Olive Garden, but especially this one. Lunch portions, great pricing, and those classic comfort flavours — it’s a win every time.“

“We love Del’s pizza. Been eating it for years, actually even at the old location. They’ve been advertising the deep dish pizza but when we came to try it we were told it’s only thin crust. Kinda bummed that they’re advertising deep dish but don’t have it 🫤“
