50 Best Pizza Restaurants in Knoxville

“One of Knoxville’s rare food gems! I don’t even love sourdough but I gave it a try and I am so glad I did! The fresh ingredients, wine selection, and flavors make this the best pizza place in town.“

“I have been seeing lots of adds on Facebook for this pizzeria. I finally decided to order a pizza to my office for delivery. Normally, I do not like to order pizza for delivery because the time the pizza gets to me, it is soggy and taste like it has been sitting around too long. This pizza was one of the best pizzas I have ordered since moving to Knoxville. I ordered the margherita pizza with extra veggies and it was delicious. My co-workers could not believe how fresh the pizza was and the crust was so light and yummy. I would order from this restaurant again and I cannot wait to go into the restaurant and see what else they offer.“

“Owner was extremely kind and the food was amazing!! We got the New York Calzone and the monster burger and both we absolutely delicious and a good price too.“

“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!“

“the food is always great and the service too.“

“The greatest Chicago pizza. Delicious ingredients, good service. need more locations in Knoxville TN. 5 star thin crust pizza.“

“A Slice of New York in Knoxville: Little Nicky's New York PizzaLittle Nicky's New York Pizza isn't just another pizza joint. It's a taste of the Big Apple right here in Knoxville.The star of the show is definitely the pizza. The crust is light and airy, with a satisfying crisp that holds up perfectly. Nicky's sauce is a revelation for those who shy away from overly acidic tomato sauces. It strikes a perfect balance, neither sweet nor heavy, making it a great choice for even the most sensitive stomachs.But Little Nicky's goes beyond pizza. Their eggplant rollatini is a hearty and delicious option. The eggplant is perfectly fried, maintaining its crispness, while the ricotta and mozzarella filling is luxuriously creamy.For those who love to cook at home, Little Nicky's offers a selection of Italian specialties. I grabbed some of their fantastic sausage for my next meat sauce and a loaf of authentic Italian bread, baked fresh and straight from Brooklyn.The Burrata mozzarella deserves special mention. Pulled fresh daily, it was the creamiest, most buttery Burrata I've had in a long time. It paired beautifully with the garlic bread I made from their Italian loaf.No meal is complete without dessert, and Little Nicky's cannoli did not disappoint. They fill them fresh to order, and both the regular and chocolate cannoli were a delightful end to the meal. My fiance, a cannoli newbie, declared,” I need an endless supply of these."The warm and welcoming atmosphere added to the entire experience. Nicky and Dina were fantastic hosts, happy to chat about the good old days in NYC and Northern NJ. Their friendly service made me feel right at home.Overall, Little Nicky's New York Pizza is a hidden gem. From the incredible pizza and homemade specialties to the delicious desserts and friendly service, it's a place I have a feeling I'll be visiting very regularly.“

“Have not found anything bad on the menu.“

“Love Love Love Knox Dough! Their pizza cones and root beer floats are by far my favorite! Can’t recommend them enough!“

“My friend and I went there today.A gentleman on his break eas very kind answering my 2 questions. We ended up getting the cheeseburgers deluxe with added fried onions. They were really good. My son and his wife takes me there sometimes to get pizza and ounion rings. They are the best. You will not be disappointed at this place ever.“

“Always great food and great local entertainment.“

“We've seen the sign from the interstate and also seen it passing by on Kingston Pike. Today is my wife's birthday and we decided on a late lunch at Jaboni's. The fries pickles were outstanding, the Pizza was absolutely the best we've had anywhere around Knoxville. The first were fresh and crisp and tasted great! I had the Lasagna and met me tell you it was the best authentic lasagna I've had in years. I downed 2 margaritas which were outstanding! The atmosphere was comfortable, trendy and quiet enough to talk with my beautiful wife. The service was excellent and friendly. The prices are on par with any place offering a great value for high quality food. It's a clean and classy place to get your food any time of the day. We highly recommend it and we are not easy to please. You'll dig it!“

“Excellent experience and food was on point!“

“Excellent pizza joint. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. We stumbled on this place with google search. What a hidden gem. You could taste the quality in the pizza and salads. Small selection of craft beer and the beer was cold and tasty. Pizza was served piping hot and just the right amount of sauce and toppings.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu“

“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!“

“This place has a little bit of everything to offer you while you visit. Great crunchy pizza with the good kind of cheese, Phenomenal service from the staff, live music, hops/brews, and games. Went on Thursday night when it wasn’t too busy yet and parking was easy. This is somewhere I would come to again and again in a social gathering or by myself since the environment overall was very comforting. 10/10 visit“

“great pizza, reasonable price, speedy service“

“Food was great and affordable, has a cozy Italian atmosphere. I believe my servers name was Grant and he did an excellent job and was very funny. A server named Marybeth was also doing a great job but she was not as funny as Grant. Matt is a great pizza chef too. 5/5“

“We just served our Holston Middle school staff Fazoli’s for their staff lunch and they did an amazing job! Food and service was excellent, this is definitely a go-to in the future for other lunches. Thank you!!“

“It’s the best pizza in Knoxville“

“The pizza was so delicious. The owners are extremely friendly as well.“

“Very good food; we had a supreme pizza and cheesy bread sticks. The pizza was VERY greasy, but SO good! The cheesy sticks were full of flavor. Staff wasn't cheerful nor rude , but being a Friday at lunch, I don't know that I blame them for appearing tired. It was relatively busy still when we stopped by at 2:00 on Friday afternoon. Overall, we've had it once, and recommend it, but as out of town visitors, we'd probably try somewhere new next time we visit and crave pizza.“

“Incredible pies and service. We also enjoyed a perfectly paired Tuscano on the patio. Beautiful food and wonderful service (Andie was on point!) even on a super busy Saturday evening! We loved the ambiance and even got to enjoy the music from the Dogwood Arts Festival.“

“Amazing local restaurant, a must try, you’ll love it! The ground steak parmigiana is AMAZING! So is the spaghetti and any pasta, but the lunch sandwiches are a real gem as well.“

“Great pizza. Staff very friendly. Good atmosphere. Definitely will be back when in Knoxville.“

“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.“

“Pizza was crispy, tasty, and ready quickly! The staff was very friendly and inviting. We will certainly be back!“

“We had great service. The food was fresh and the breadsticks were so good. Linda was our server and she was top notch. We didn't have to ask for anything. She was on top of it our entire visit.“

“Good pizza and friendly service“

“I’ve never been disappointed with any of their food. Pizza is amazing and so is everything else. I would recommend their pepperoni pizza and some buffalo wings with fries. Also their customer service is top notch. I’d definitely recommend going here for lunch/dinner“

“Went there today and got a pizza. Amazing! The pizza was wonderful and the staff was so helpful and kind. We took out pizza outside on the square to eat with friends and they asked if we needed waters or anything else. Couldn’t ask for better people!“

“we are NY transplants and this place is absolutely amazing. It is the closest thing to NY style pizza we have found so far. Job well done. Our waitress was great! The food was so good. We can't wait to go back.“

“My husband and I tried Double Dogs for the first time yesterday and had a great experience! The food was great and everyone working there was so nice. We had an amazing server, Cameron, who was absolutely wonderful!“

“Have tried their pizza a few times, ok nothing great. My last order the veggies were just added on after the pizza was baked. They denied doing it, but it’s very easy to tell if a veggie has been in an oven! Although is a convenient location for me, I won’t be back, too many better options.“

“Blaze is always a good time with good food. Fresh pizza dough, toppings, and I get it exactly the way I want. The staff is usually very friendly and on top of making pizza. This visit I had a coupon for a free dessert, and I got a s'mores sandwich. They heated it up for me so the marshmallow was toasted and the chocolate was melted. The cookie part was much too thick compared to the innards, so it ate very dry. I'm glad I got it free, because now I know I wouldn't want to spend $2.99 on one.“

“Went for the first time and was very impressed! Great quality, great price, great people. We will be back!!“

“We moved from NJ to TN eight months ago and have yet to find good pizza. We stumbled upon Davinci’s and were intrigued by the sign with the state of NJ on it. BEST PIZZA EVER!!! Definitely our style—super thin and crispy. Sauce and toppings were delicious!! Prices were amazing also. Sam was so friendly and welcoming. This is definitely our new favorite place!!!“

“It was fun , my boys had a good time Chucky came out dance with them“

“cool place to see a band and get some food. the stage is very well lit and the sound is great.“

“We made our first visit to the Karns location and found the pizza to be super good. We even were able to get a thumb’s up from our daughter. We went with the NY style pepperoni and the Hoss Special. Fresh, great crust, delivered hot and delicious. Go and give it a try.“

“1st time here and shocked me Mike the owner is a really cool guy great guest he had come in. The crowd there was huge never seen this bar before its sits in back off kp behind taco bell check it out you won't be disappointed also they have wings burgers pizza and was great.

“Love Little joes! My parents have been eating there since before I was born! We all love it! The staff is absolutely amazing! Even on days they are short staffed, they are so nice and kind! Never hateful. Love this place!“

“I truly feel that I have found a Hidden gym in Knoxville… I stumbled upon this pizza restaurant on accident, and not only is it absolutely delicious, but the kindness of the owner, Khalid, is unmatched. He is humble, hard-working, kind, generous, and beyond friendly. I will absolutely be back to super Mario as soon as possible! What a gift he is to Knoxville.“

“We were accidentally so stupid and ordered a pizza after they closed. The workers were so accommodating and allowed us to come pick up the pizza a few minutes after hours on the 4th of July. The pizza was still warm and delicious and we will DEFINITELY be back. Shoutout these papa john’s workers. As depicted below, we LOVED this pizza.“

“This Jets is always awesome! The jet 10 is one of the best pizzas all around at the best price! Thank you to the owners including their Pizza Perfect Pizza magic making amazing son & crew! everyone in our family absolutely loves the ranch. From this location it has never came to us any other way than perfect and it's always fresh! Thank you for that as well.Vegetarian options: They have fresh salads anything that that is partial vegan like vegetable pizzas and maybe sandwiches!Parking: This location is in a strip mall that is accessible and easy to maneuver with a traffic light on a busy busy main road it also makes it easier that there is slower businesses closer to the busy businesses it seems to be strategically placed in such a Manor can you wear the traffic flows naturally at the most busy times.“

“So the prices are good, food great. However, i was there last night and just hangin out, having some fireballs, talking to fellow patrons, being civilized, all that good stuff. All of a sudden, and i do mean all of a sudden, the bartender comes up to me andgives me my tab and says he closed it out, i figured there was a shift change or something, but as im writing the tip into the bill, he says "now we are gonna have to ask you to leave, you were ashing ur cigerattes everywhere. So, i left. Here the thing, when im comfortable and just talking and conversating and have a cigeratte going, my body and arms move however they move. Its just natural body movement, 2nd nature ya know. I wasnt even aware i was "ashing everywhere", im just going about my night, not acting a fool or anything. I feel like this was a major communication error. See, in the aet of human interaction, if someone is doing something you dont like, you let them know, ask them to knock it off. Had i been told this was happening, i would have stopped and been more careful. So, from that experience, i would say that it appears that its rather alarming that their first instinct to any trivial situation is to just immediately throw you out...Now they sodnt notice this, but it took everything in me to not cause a scene and give them a legit reason to throw me out. My whole life, my bigfest pet peeve is people freaking out over the smallest, most trivial and innocous things. That very proccess ironically causes me to wanna freak out. So, this is not really a reciew of the establishment as a whole, but a review about the specific baetender that is probably deeply mentally ill to the point where he just randomly.throws people out. Try letting people know that you wre annoyed by something, and addressing how to fix it before just being completely reactionary.“

“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.“

“This location has the best overall customer service experience on Friday April 26, 2024 at 12:45pm. I order two pizzas Togo and they both were hot and delicious. The young man cashier was truly kind and very helpful. He made sure my to go order was perfect.“
