“As a Chicago native, finding good pizza in Knoxville has been challenging. Not anymore! We ordered from Rosati's while in Chicago and will order from Rosati's while in Knoxville. It may be a chain, but it does Chicago style pizza right!“

“we made reservation for 3 at 1:30pm on a Sunday and were seated right away. The atmosphere and decor already me 😍. My husband, son, and I are HUGE pizza fans. We've traveled all over for it so we thought why not try a new pie in our favorite city. It did not disappoint. We went for the hot honey pepperoni and veggie deluxe and they were both amazing. My husband got the spicy rigatoni and it was VERY close, if not better than the dish we just had in Chicago. We will 100% be back! The staff were also very welcoming. Great experience!“

“Jimmy and his crew at Parkside Dr. In Turkey Creek was fantastic: a nice change from a day of poor service at other businesses today. Efficient, personable, and kind. Well done team! Thank you, all.“

“We flew into Knoxville from Fort Wayne, Indiana to grab lunch. This came recommended by someone at the airport. We were expecting a run of the mill pizza spot. We ordered a large pepperoni pizza. It came out very quickly. It was hot and flavorful. I’d give the pizza a 10/10 and was thoroughly impressed with the crust, sauce, everything. Great job!“

“Great atmosphere and menu! First time visiting - excellent salad and building our own pizzas. Will return!“

“I’ve heard about this pizza place for a long time and finally went and got a pie and a Caesars salad last night. I got the Dino pizza which is a two meat red sauce pie. One of the best pizzas I’ve had! The crust was delicious, just the right size, not doughy at all. The sauce was fantastic. So tasty. And the toppings didn’t disappoint. Very good quality meats. Overall, a very delicious pizza. I’ll definitely come back.“

“We have always loved this place but today we were treated amazing by Chey and the rest of the team. They really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best. I am strictly gluten free and those crusts can be hard to crisp. Thank you Chey and team for making our stop so incredible!“

“We had such a great experience. Food is the BEST in town. We had a networking/social there tonight and the service was friendly and pricing is super affordable. Highly recommend!“

“Gavino’s Restaurant and Pizzeria
My two son loves eating, real authentic Italian New York pizza.
We didn’t have to drive, to New York City to eat the best New York style pizza.
Gavino’s Restaurant and Pizzeria of Knoxville has the best Italian pizza.
My two sons would order the Dad’s pan pizza with pepperoni and chicken.
The Italian garlic knots are bake fresh from scratch, and the parmesan cheese is so amazing.
Beth at Gavino’s Restaurant and Pizzeria at the Bearden location always make us feel welcome.“

“Absolutely loved the pizza I got. My whole office enjoyed as well! Looking forward to coming back again!!“

“We LOVE Jaboni's! Great pizza and staff!! Hi Holly, Rebecca, Garrett and Dylan!! 😁 We will be back soon!!! 🍕🥗“

“Great little place would be great to see live music on occasion.“

“They have such great pizza!“

“I always have an amazing experience at this restaurant, thanks to the delicious food and the friendly, helpful staff. During our recent visit, I we had a great meal. However, I accidentally left my purse at the table and only realized it once we got home. When I called the restaurant, I was relieved to hear they had found my bag. With our upcoming move, their prompt assistance saved me a tremendous amount of hassle in replacing everything. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness!“

“If you want the best calzone you’ve ever had I highly recommend this little place in old town. Knoxville the atmosphere is great. The food is delicious and Sam behind the counter is a wonderful man, we got the barbecue chicken pizza and The Maui calzone both of which are incredibly good!!“

“I have ordered several times from this location. My food is always good, but today it was fantastic! The loaded wedge fries were so yummy. Everything was hot and fresh. I ordered delivery, the online time was 60-75 minutes, it arrived in 40 minutes. The delivery guy was nice and polite.“

“Just Had Harbys On Tuesday Under The New Ownership And It Was Absolutely Delicious! And Staff Was Very Friendly! We had The Harbys Salad And Meat Lovers/Veggie Pizza And Both Was Very Fresh and The Pizza Was The Best I’ve Had In This Area! Would Definitely Recommend!“

“Best Pizza in Knoxville by far. HOT..TASTY..CRISPY THIN CRUST! Not cheap Pizza.. Hot Honey pepperoni..so delicious. [Original] Best Pizza in Knoxville by far. HOT..TASTY..CRISPY THIN CRUST! Not cheap Pizza.. Hot Honey pepperoni..so delicious.“

“The food is really bad. No choices on the buffet. To much pizza sauce and not enough cheese. Not coming back here to eat. Plus no service at all in the gaming room. Couldn't even purchase a game card. I do not recommend this place.“

“Been ordering from here for 15 years. The pizza last night was outstanding. Wife loves the chicken Philly sub but couldn't stay out of the pizza. I called the manager and said I don't know what happened but keep it up. Very good food for reasonable monies.“

“What’s not to love about Hard Knox wood fired pizza? Aside from having mouth watering pizza, the owner has a huge heart and gives so much to the Knoxville community. Thank you Hard Knox Team!“

“Food was amazing, didn't have to wait long. The owner was very friendly definitely wil be ordering again“

“lunch buffet from 11 to 2 Monday-friday“

“They have the best teriyaki-pineapple wings & lettuce wedge. So fresh! We weren’t a big fan of the gravy on the meatloaf or the salsa on the neyland nachos. We will def be back for more wings and wedge salad!!“

“WE ORDERED A LARGE PIZZA AND A LARGE GREEK SALAD YESTERDAY AT 235PM. MY HUSBAND ARRIVED THERE AT 255PM AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE A COUPLE OF MINUTES MORE. HE RECIVED THE PIZZA AT 330PM. WHEN HE BOUGHT THE ORDER HOME INSTEAD OF A LARGE GREEK SALAD THEY SENT A SMALL GREEK SALAD. I CALLED BACK TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SMALL ORDER THAT TOOK AN HOUR TO RECIEVE AND THE MANAGER ( MAN ) TOLD ME THEN I SHOULD'VE ORDERED THRU DOOR DASH. IF THIS IS NOT THE MOST STUPID RESPONSE OF THIS MANAGERS INEPTITUDE TO RUN A BUSINESS. HE BLAMES IT ON A TOTALLY IRRELEVANT OTHER PARTY INSTEAD OF TAKING RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SERVICE PAID FOR. I REALLY USED TO LIKE MELLOW MUSHROOM BUT I WILL NO LONGER B PATRONIZE THIS BUSINESS. CUSTOMER SRRVICE IS NO LONGER A PRIORITY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. PROBABLY A TRUMP SUPPORTED FRANCHISE. NOT SURPRISED AT ALL.“

“The most unique, fresh, flavorful pizza I've ever tasted! The crunchy but still chewy crust is simply amazing, and the flavors from the freshest ingredients delight the taste buds! Highly recommended for people looking to try something that's not the same old thing.“

“I love Pizza Hut, but tonight was not the best experience. It took an hour and a half to get here and it was cold. :(“

“Great Pizza and Great Staff. Ate again on 5/8/2024. pizza cooked and made perfect. ❤️🍕😋 Thanks!“

“Yes, yes and yes again! Absolutely delicious! First time and will be back.“

“Bought a stack of 6 pizzas for a family get-together. All were prepared as I ordered them, ready on time for my pickup. Everyone was very happy with the pizzas even though I overcooked them (my fault).
Not a criticism of this store:
Papa Murphy doesn’t allow you to place an order a day in advance, which I strongly recommend they change. Papa, you can hold the order to the store until pickup day (to ensure the food isn’t prepared too far in advance). But please allow your customers to build an order in advance and submit that order. In my case, I had to place my order while traveling from one city to another. Very inconvenient.“

“I placed an online order before the restaurant opened. The automatic default time was 11:30 AM. A litter later someone from the restaurant called to see if I wanted my pizza earlier. That was very thoughtful and kind of them. The lunch deal is a great combo. The pizza was decent and they serve coke (which I love). I liked it better than Little Caesars. I will have to give Jets a try more often. I recommend.“

“Pizza is all in the sauce!! Papa Johns has great sauce. I love their large thin crust pizza!!!! The crust thin, but not so thin that when you pick it up everything falls off. Some pizza places make thin crust so thin that you don't even enjoy it! The employees are very friendly and helpful! It appears to be clean and efficient.“

“I have been eating here for years and love their sandwhich selection! I have always had good service and really enjoy the atmosphere.“

“We have always been very pleased with Papa Murphy’s pizza. We don’t get it often since the nearest one was closed sometime ago. We really enjoy that we
can have fresh hot pizza from our own oven! If you have never tried it we say
you SHOULD!! We like both the regular and thin crust. The staff was courteous and the restaurant appears clean and organized.“

“I have been eating here for years and love their sandwhich selection! I have always had good service and really enjoy the atmosphere.“

“I cannot recommend this place enough! The best marina I've ever had. Probably the best crust too. It's even better if you can eat fresh out of the oven it's even better! They are open till 3am or 4am.“

“Great food and service today at Stefano's in Hardin Valley! Fun games and awesome food!“
