This is the best NY style pizza in Knoxville and the best Grandma's style pizza in Knoxville. Service is usually always good, sometimes a little slow but nothing to really complain about. The pasta dishes are pretty good but we almost always order pizza and some salad. Parking can be a little difficult because there is only 1 handicap spot and we have someone who uses a walker.

I am from the North. With that said, pizza in East Tennessee is generally mediocre at best compared to other parts of the country. If you are a fellow Northerner and you know what I'm talking about. The best in town in my opinion is Gavino's and Jaboni's by far! The grandma pizza is my personal favorite and garlic knots are a must!

Delicious! Favorite spot when I visit my friend. Makes my mouth water just thinking about going there. Staff is excellent! The only thing I will say is it’s a bit pricey. The picture is $28.
