Chattanooga’s hidden gem! Ingredients for its pizza are mostly sourced from Italy making it a delicious wood fired pizza! Wine is also made in-house and with no added sulfites - you can taste how natural it is! We’ll definitely be back again!

We really enjoyed our experience here today, the ambience made us feel as if we were in Italy. The owner and the server were very kind and made sure we felt comfortable and were well informed with the menu. The pizza and wine were absolutely spectacular. Pizza had only the best imported ingredients and cooked to perfection with just the right amount of crunch in every bite. The wine was great, it reminded me of organic homemade wine I’ve had in the country side of France. Real organic wine always makes you happy in a unique way after you drink it and this wine did exactly that. We bought a couple bottles to go and will be back for more.

We had such a wonderful experience at Lookout Winery! From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional, and our server Heather truly went above and beyond to make our anniversary celebration feel extra special. She was warm, attentive, and made sure every detail was perfect for us.
The pizza was absolutely delicious—honestly some of the best I’ve had in a long time. On top of that, the views were breathtaking!
Thank you to Heather and the team at Lookout Winery for making our day so memorable. We’ll definitely be back.

My husband and I drove here from sewanee on our anniversary trip. To anyone thinking of going here….DONT DO IT!!!!! HORRIBLE wine. Like literally can’t even finish the communion cup flight of 6 wines. They all tasted like watered down bourbon. Both my husband and I agreed hands down the absolute worst wine we’ve ever tasted. I never leave reviews, but felt compelled to save other patrons time and money! The pizza was just OK, but my husband was sick from either the pizza or the wine for 2 days. Bottom line- don’t choose to go here!!! I do want to say our server was very sweet. Picture a for proof I was there on 8/29/25, bc I see the owners respond to bad reviews by saying they are fake.

If you’re traveling along 24 just west of Chattanooga and you don’t stop at Lookout Winery & Venue, you’re missing out on one of the best hidden gems in Tennessee.
This place is the perfect combo of epic wood-fired pizza (seriously, the best I’ve ever had) and breathtaking views that make you want to stay all day. You can taste the passion in every bite — this isn’t just food, it’s an experience.
What makes it even better is Chuck, the no-nonsense owner living out the American dream. His energy, his straight-up approach, his dedication to quality and his love for his grandmother's recipes are what make this place feel so authentic and special.
If you want cookie-cutter corporate pizza, keep driving. But if you want flavor, atmosphere, and a memory you’ll be talking about for years, then this is the spot.
Lookout Winery is more than a restaurant — it’s a destination. 🍕🍷🌄

We have been a few times, the staff is always so friendly and attentive. Pizza is amazing. Views are beautiful. A nice, peaceful drive from downtown that is worth the adventure. Best of all, they are are pup friendly! (on leash) Incredibly thankful we found this spot. 😀

We just had the an incredible experience at this charming Italian family-owned spot! 🍕🇮🇹 Nestled in the hills with stunning views of three states—Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama—it’s the perfect blend of delicious food and breathtaking scenery.
The pizza is truly something special. We tried the Tuscany and House pizzas—both were amazing! You can really taste the quality: the flour and tomatoes are imported straight from Italy, and everything is made with love and tradition.
We also had 2 flights of wine. White and red. The Petite Sirah and Riesling were our favorite.
Their house salad with salmon is something else! The salmon is incredible and the vinegrette dressing for the salad was SO good.
Chuck, the owner, was so welcoming—sharing stories of how he grew up making pizza with his grandmother. His grandkids help out too, making the whole experience feel like you’re part of the family. The service was warm, friendly, and attentive.
Homemade pizza, Italian wine, and a view that makes you pause—We’ll definitely be back!

Lookout Winery & Venue offers a great selection of wines paired with a stunning scenic view overlooking the valley. The wood-fired pizza was well-crafted and flavorful, making for an excellent complement to the wine.
We visited later in the day, and while it was a bit unclear where to enter and how to get seated, the experience was well worth the trip up. A beautiful spot for wine lovers and anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing meal with breathtaking views.

Tucked away in the hills of Marion County, this winery is a true hidden gem—with one of the best views and the best pizza you’ll find anywhere near Chattanooga.
Mr. Bordogna is an absolute craftsman. Start with the house salad to share with the most delicious balsamic dressing. His pizza and his crust is perfection: crispy, chewy, and the kind of thing that could win awards.
It’s an experience. Whether you’re a foodie or just someone who appreciates a peaceful setting and something delicious—this place has it!

The wine is good. The pizza is REALLY DELICIOUS! Crust is the best 👌. The view of the river is a great way to enjoy good food.
