Best Pizza in Tennessee

[Magiccarpetrides]

I had giordano's pizza last year when I was in Chicago, I got a small pie, could not finish the cheesy goodness. I have never seen anything like that here.

Giordano's is amazing I have ate there in chi-town about 3 or 4 times I make it a point to eat there anytime im in Chicago.

Around here a new place that is amazing (if your a Big Ed's Fan) is Del's Pizza its in the plaza with the new food city in Sevierville behind the BB&T. Super nice people that moved here from NY run it. We usually get their pizza for lunch every Saturday.

My list for East Tennessee would be:

1. Big Ed's

2. Del's

3. Gondolier

Skimo's is a little restaurant in Cordova, on Houston Levee Rd across the street from Starbucks and Sonic. Their pepperoni pizza is amazing, best I've had since I lived in Seattle.

I believe good pizza is what you learn to like. I've been eating pizza PIE since it was made popular here in the States right after WW11. About as good as I've found is at Tellico Grains in Tellico Plains. This is a mom and pop operation that specialize in baked goods and on Saturday afternoon untill 16:00 hours they make pizza baked in a wood fired stone oven. Darn good pizza. Go have Stewart build ya one.

Supposedly we are going to be getting a Papa Murphy's here in Mempho, I used to love them when i lived behind the Zion Curtain (Utah)

Thank you for starting this thread! Pizza is my favorite meal. There is nothing better then a plain pie in the middle of the afternoon. I am from ny. Anybody heard of SINGAS? or dannys in leferts blvd. Anyways, you guys are mentioning a "joeys". Where is this place located at? I will drive hours to buy a pie.

[Guest canynracer]

I like Johnny Brusco's. but I am always up for a great pizza!!!

[USMCJG]

I'll add my vote for Greg's Pizza in Johnson City too. Best pizza I've ever had anywhere I've been in the country. Italian Village/Raffaele's is pretty good too. But as someone else said, their sauce is their weak point.

[billkill]

I was just reading reviews on it and it sounds like a place I need to visit. Thanks billkill! Is it in the same shopping center as where the Walmart USED to be?

Yep, if you are facing the shopping center it is on the far left.

[poak]

Well, I didn't read through the whole thread, so I don't know if anyone has mentioned it or not but, Pizza Perfect in Nashville makes a great pie!

when i lived behind the Zion Curtain (Utah)

Yep Gregs is the best...The one in Elizabethton is better than Johnson City.....

Papa Murphy's is pretty fair, you can use food stamps to pay for it.

My house.

Fresh ground wheat for the crust, homemade sauce, fresh herbs. If I had room for a cow the cheese would be fresh squeezed too.

Yeah, I think the availability of better ingredients is probably the biggest reason for the n.y./chi./ philly cheese steak myth.

I like Gondola in Tullahoma and Claydough's in Chattanooga. Claydough's uses sourdough and they have unusual flavors like reuben (yum).

[Guest SUNTZU]

Yep, if you are facing the shopping center it is on the far left.

Thank you, sir! I foretell a pizza in my future.

[Guest mn32768]

Harby's off of Broadway in Knoxville. A couple of blocks from the best Mexican food in Knoxville, Senor Taco

[Guest Tom@GunDepot]

i love Gregs pizza. Rockys is really good and so is Johnny Bruscos to be honest

+1 GREGS IS THE BOMB!!!

[BrandonTN]

Joey's in Brentwood...I haven't found anything that compares in Chattanooga.

[Guest tnpanscraper]

Best in Knoxville IMO

I Love NY Pizza Chapman Hwy Knoxville

Meee too..... Or Metro Pizza in Maryville

[cybernorris]

When you mention a pizza joint, please include the city ... like where the heck is Gregs?

Maybe I can find a way to build a poll from this thread and it can become a resource for traveling around the state.

[Guest tonybon]

i vote Chicago pies. now that is real pizza. but moma rosea's in cookeville aint to bad

[Wingshooter]

I like the pizza at Gondolier in Cleveland.

[USMCJG]

Elizabethton and Johnson City.

[Guest Bluemax]

Has anybody ever had I LOVE NY pizza located on Chapman Hwy.?

If your already that far south, drive on up to Seymour and try 2J's in the old Pixie Drive in. They have the best crust anywhere, not to mention their generosity on toppings.
