In spite of the tourist crowds, we were seated almost immediately. One finds a seat, reviews the menu, then goes to the counter to order. I am not a huge pizza fan, but the pizza was so good that we spent another of our valuable vacation evenings going back to Big Daddy's! We did a "design your own" pizza with red bell peppers, onions, pineapple and ham, and it was mouth-watering! Big Daddy's is very much a family place with lots of "help yourself" items (drinks, napkins, etc.), a bit noisy but it is such a delightful place that the noise is almost a part of its charm. read more

Service was good, friendly. It's counter serve, so there isn't a ton in the way of "service" though. Perfectly fine by me, because it's quicker and they can accommodate more people this way. The pizza is very good. Everything was tasty from the crust to the sauce to the toppings. I can't say it's the best pizza I've ever had, but it's up there. I might say that they go a little light on the toppings though. E.g., my wife asked for goat cheese on hers, but it was honestly hard to tell if there was any there. The one odd thing i found is that if you order a Build-Your-Own, you're going to end up paying a lot more, even if the toppings you add are the exact same ones on one of their classics. E.g., A 10" Mamma Mia is $19.00. But if you "build your own" with the same toppings, you'll pay $11 + $2.50 + $2.50 + $2.50 + $2.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 + $1.50, for a total of $27.00. read more

My girlfriend and I were on a trip to Gatlinburg for just a few nights and were excited to try a variety of new food and restaurants, but we couldn't stop coming back to Big Daddy. It's our absolutely favorite and we wish we had a location back home. 10/10, no notes read more

Pizza and Caesar salad were so fresh and delicious!! Would highly recommend to travelers in the area! My daughter and I really enjoyed our experience. read more

Ordering takeout early before the rush, you would think, we ensure you receive everything correct. We had a Cuban sandwich with no sauce at all, and the greasiest pizza I think I've ever had. Cheap cheese solidified almost instantly, and the slices had no hold due to all the grease. This place is definitely resting on its location and the lax standards of most tourists. SAVE. YOUR. MONEY. read more

The food was okay the service was okay. It was definitely overpriced for what you got. My booth set was broken and about thought me into the floor. I did like the wings. read more

We ordered take-out so I can only rate based on that. The cheese pizza was really great. Some of the other speciality pizzas we got weren't my favorite. The crust was a bit burnt on one of them, on another the crust was a bit droopy and soggy, and some of them the cheese was completely falling off. But like I said, the cheese pizza was delicious. read more

The pizza crust was the only part that tasted just ok. I would find another place to have pizza Wife was still hungry tried the bbq place adjacent but the otitis soup was to go, but no good either. Sad we went there Not our flavored food read more

Pizza was barely warm, limp & not very tasty. Was our favorite pizza place for 27 years. Always took an extra large home to SC. None on menu now but not worth it anyway. read more

We were glad to stumble onto this pizza place while we were in Gatlinburg. Super yummy pizza with fresh ingredients!! Friendly service! Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

We ordered takeout, and the food was ready in a reasonable amount of time. The location is right in the heart of Gatlinburg, surrounded by plenty of scenic spots. The pizza was decent and fairly priced, though the wings were on the small side. read more

What an amazing pizza restaurant. We came here because it was one of the few places that has on site parking. We were so amazed at how good the food was. I had the bee sting pizza. One of the best pizzas I've ever had. My wife had the chicken Alfredo. It was so good. They make their own bread. The staff were friendly and warm. They made us feel welcome and gave us fantastic suggestions. I highly recommend the is place read more

While taking a much needed vacation in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, my husband and I were searching for a place to have lunch. We noticed good reviews from Yelpers about Big Daddy's Pizzeria, so we decided to go. The restaurant was within walking distance from our hotel and across the street from Ober Gatlinburg park, and let me tell you - it was well worth it. This is a two-sided restaurant, with a barbecue place on the left, and the pizza place on the right. We walked in and were greeted by the nicest young lady. She asked how many we had and we told her it was just us. She seated us at a booth by the window, gave us menus, and took our drink orders. It was very nice in the restaurant, with lots of bright and happy colors, plus posters on every wall. The back area was an open kitchen with a guy handling all the cooking. Our server, Destanie, came back and took our order. We had plans to do some things and did not want a lot of food. We ordered the 10 inch Carnivore pizza and two side Caesar salads. Our salads came out in less than three minutes. The salad was good - nice and basic, with a garlic breadstick. The pizza was at our table soon after, and that was very tasty! The crust was not too thick and not too thin, and the flavor of the pizza was AMAZING. I have no doubt they use fresh ingredients at Big Daddy's Pizzeria. We also had a piece of cheesecake, but I forgot to snap a picture of that slice of deliciousness. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and when we come back for another Gatlinburg vacation, we will stop by again. Definitely recommended!! read more

Update. We ate this time for table service and utilized the online checkin. Our server was polite and kind. She forgot my salad but everything else was spot on and fairly quick. Table favorite was the chicken bacon ranch. The taco pizza was so so. The he wing it was good but I could have used a little more buffalo and maybe some ranch. I liked the chicken florentine but the rest of my table doesn't like spinach on their pizza read more

We came here for lunch today. I was craving pizza. Big Daddy's did not disappoint. I got my pizza fix with the carnivore. Pizza was excellent! The surprise was the wings. Some of the best wings I've had. They give you a pound of small but perfectly cooked & seasoned wings. I got the house dressing, ranch & blue cheese for the wings. So good. Service was very good. I believe her name was Shaylee. We did not wait long at all for anything. Highly recommend the pizza & wings here. read more

Always good pizza and the staff is so nice. One of our go to places every time we visit.

They went away from table service. Might as well have ordered from hunts pizza at local gas station. No draft beer. Topping cold We come to gatlinburg regularly and stop here often. This is my last time. There is no ambiance felt like Domino's. read more

Eat there last night. It was the worst Pizza we ever tried to eat. 14 inch pie. It was almost like they used a piece of cardboard and put the most minute quantity of cheese possible. Price was HIGH, but would not minded if it was Edible. Not sure what the high reviewers ate but it was not what we were served. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

GROSS! I drove all the way from Florida just to eat at Big Daddy's Pizzeria -- and I've never regretted a food stop more in my life. The Margherita pizza came out with two thick slabs of mozzarella sitting there like they'd been sliced off a block and tossed on top as an afterthought. We sent it back and asked for more cheese -- and it came back cold. Not warm, not melty, just cold. Then came the bruschetta. I don't even know what to call it -- maybe a stale crouton impersonating bread, topped with cold mozzarella straight out of the bag, diced tomatoes and onions that tasted like they'd just been dumped from a prep tub, and a side of balsamic ball-sack dressing that made me question my life choices. Every salad came with cheddar cheese and romaine, even the so-called Greek. The Caesar was the only thing close to edible, which isn't saying much. Eighty bucks later, I left hungry, annoyed, and genuinely confused about how this place has good reviews. If you're passing through Gatlinburg, do yourself a favor -- keep driving. HARD WORKING PEOPLE KEEP YOUR MONEY--high prices for pizza that belongs in the trash! read more

Sat down immediately, great pizza, great value, amazing service. What not to love? Would recommend to anyone!

Visiting from Texas and saw this place. It was great the pizza was baked just right...I definitely recommend.

The cheapest meal we had while visiting Gatlinburg, and it was yummy! Gypsy circus cider $6 (12oz can) - boyfriend liked it. 10" pizza $15 - got half bee sting & half chicken bacon ranch. Shared between the 2 of us, and we still took 2 slices to-go. Both were good, but we preferred the bee sting. The slight sweetness was so good! The pizzas don't have a whole lot of marinara sauce (which is fine with me), but they do have plenty of CHEESE! (Very good) BEE STING - Marinara sauce, sprinkled with red pepper flakes, diced salami, and topped with mozzarella-provolone blend. Cooked to perfection & topped with brown sugar. CHICKEN BACON RANCH - Olive oil, garlic, mozzarella-provolone blend, chicken and bacon. Drizzled with ranch and buffalo wing sauce. read more

The Gatlinburg location had a 20 minute wait for a table because of staffing shortages so we decided to order and carry-out. We ordered a 14in. Herbivore pizza. We waited less than 15 minutes for our order. The hostess brought us plenty of napkins, hot pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese with the pizza. The brick oven pizza was moderately priced, about $25, and was delicious. Great pizza- would recommend! Grab a six pack from the grocery store or gas station or spirits from one of the downtown stores and enjoy a cheap, tasty dinner. read more

Excellent service by Jennifer! We had a house sale with the Gorgonzola dressing that was delicious! Then the Mama Mia pizza! It was one of the best pizzas we've ever had! Top it off with an ice cold ipa draft and it was a 5 star plus experience! Want to try the wings next! read more

Tasty pizza served quickly. Friendly staff. Seat yourself order at the counter and they bring you your order. There's vegan options for those who want it including non dairy cheese. They also serve salads, sandwiches and deserts. There's a kid's menu. read more

So first thing, this is TN not NY so expectations were low. The service was great, the manager even popped out to answer a question for me. We ordered the meatball appetizer it was mediocre and needed more seasoning. Then we opted for a 10 inch with salami and ricotta. The salami was more like a fried bologna not a true Italian salami. The sauce was adequate but the cheese was a blend - true pizza is topped with mozzarella and only mozzarella. It was just okay for these pizza snobs. read more

We tried to call ahead over the span of an hour to order as we were coming into town, and no one ever answered. Then when we show up, there are about four people at counters by the phone... so there seems to be no reason why they wouldn't pick up the phone to take an order. The food was OK... the daddy dough balls were dry I'm not really sure I get the hype.The location was a busy part of town and it was very hard to get out when leaving. As soon as we walked in it smelled like old cleaner. read more

It has changed from a sit down restaurant to order at the counter. We ordered a 10 inch Mamma Mia. The only thing that was temperature hot was the sauce. Toppings were not even warm. Have been here several times in the past and it was great. Will not return again after this visit. read more

We're looking for a good pizza in the area and big daddy's was not bad for Tennessee pizza. Now, coming from the east coast where we have the best pizza in CT and NY, this hit the spot. Perfectly cooked crust and just enough toppings. We got the Mama Mia and Pepperoni with red onions and mushrooms. Tried the cheesy bread and also also spinach and artichoke dip. It was satisfying. 3 stars for pizza and 5 stars for the appetizers. This was a take out order and service was quick! read more

If you're a pizza snob, don't do this..run! Pizza was terrible! I was bamboozled by the ratings.

Big Daddy's pizza is the best in the area, hands down! Baked in a wood-fired oven, these thin crust pizzas are tasty and made with fresh ingredients. And the wait for 2 pizzas was only 10 minutes! read more

Service and food were top notch. We had pizza and wings. Wings are smoked so it's an acquired taste. However the sauce options were amazing. Pizza was super fresh, toppings were plentiful and the crust was super. read more
