“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!“

“The 24" is huge and delicious! The rolling pins are the biggest mozzarella sticks I've ever seen and so good. The marinara is fantastic. Friendly staff! Love this place!“

“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 love their spaghetti & meat sauce! Have gotten it to go only and we’re so glad it’s not packed in a styrofoam container!
The sauce is tangy and the spaghetti is cooked perfectly. Their garlic knots are absolutely delicious as well.
They have an extensive array of Italian desserts made right on the premises & I can tell you that theNY Cheesecake is authentic-heavy, delicious and satisfying!
Their prices are very reasonable and there’s plenty of free parking available.
I’m going to try other things on their menu very soon!“

“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.“

“Time and time again, Dave hits it out of the park! Hands down the best pizza you can get in the area. This week’s “upside down” special is ridiculously delicious! Getting a bite with that decadent garlic made my taste bud tear up with such happiness from the phenomenal flavor! Thank you for being an amazing pizza magician. Knoxville would be lost without you!“

“This is my favorite blaze pizza location! They sometimes get pretty backed up with orders, but it’s worth the wait here! The gluten free crust is great. They take allergies seriously. Today, after a long day at work, I ordered my pizza online to the wrong location, and they were able to make my pizza and transfer the order/payment from the other location. The service is incredible and I totally recommend it here“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“I ordered GF Alfredo dish and it tasted really good. Cheese pizza looked great as well !Exception delivery service as it was 45 min ETA amd the drive arrived in about 10 minutes. I would definitely recommend. I love the fact they have GF options!! I'll try thr pizza next time.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“This spot is something else.
I came in from St. Louis, Missouri for a comedy show, and wasn’t sure what to expect—but I’m impressed. Da Vinci runs the whole place himself, and it shows. Line out the door, college kids piling in, and he’s back there making every pizza with zero shortcuts. I called in a carry-out order—he picked up, took it himself, and had it ready in 10 minutes. No drama, just solid service. When I showed up, he handed me the pizza and shook my hand like it actually mattered.

Hard to find places like this anymore. All heart, all hustle, and the pizza backs it up.“

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

“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!“

“lunch buffet from 11 to 2 Monday-friday“

“Love the pizza and the stuff is so friendly an nice clean place but I live in Seymour so I got to drive a good distance to get the best pizza I wish they could open a Jet's Pizza in Seymour TN they would have my service every day for sure“

“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.“

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

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

“Great food loved the atmosphere. Even good for the kiddos“

“Donatos pizza beats all other pizza chains. They are very responsive and give back to the community. Just order at least once and see the difference in what delivery pizza is supposed to taste like.“

“Ordered carryout from the Knoxville location on 7/25/2025. My interaction with the staff was limited, but they were very courteous and willing to provide any incidentals you asked for.

I ordered an individual size, loaded pep and cheese, along with a chef salad. The pizza was excellent. Great flavor, the didn't skimp on the toppings, even though it was an individual size. The only complaints for the pizza were actually a result of me not ordering properly... I typically order my crust well done and lite on the sauce, neither of which I did, but that in no way detracted from the quality of their pizza.

The salad was great. The greens were fresh and crispy, the cheese was fresh mozzarella, and the meats were of the same excellent quality they use on their pizzas.

My only gripe with the salad was the Italian dressing. It seemed to be very thin and watery and bland tasting, very uncharacteristic of a good quality Italian dressing.

That said, I'll gladly come back when I return to Knoxville again. Even better for me, Brenz has three locations in the Columbus, Ohio area.“

“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.“

“Marcos is hands down my favorite pizza in Knoxville! The crust is perfectly crisp without being too hard, and everything always tastes fresh and delicious. The staff at the Ebenezer Rd location are always so sweet and friendly, which makes picking up my order a great experience every time.

I also really appreciate that their prices are reasonable, and they offer great discounts and freebies from time to time. My food is always ready on time, quick and easy to pick up, and piping hot when I get it. Highly recommend this location if you’re looking for great pizza and great service!“

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

“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.“

“This store is the best. Only had one mistake since weve been ordering from them ( since they opened) and they took care of it. They are also the kindest people from the person who answers the phone to the delivery person. We truly appreciate your good professional service.“

“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. :(“

“This is a take out spot. No tables to dine in. This is a great place for pizza, calzones, and salads. They assemble your pizza in front of you and you have to bake it at home yourself. If you want an amazing salad they always hit. The salads are always fresh. There is nothing like lettuce that is fresh and not brown and nasty looking….If you have ebt you can use your ebt card to purchase your food“
