    BBQ Chicken Pizza
    Christina W.

    One of the best pizzas I've ever eaten. Came here on the recommendation of our son who is at UTK. No wonder it's a favorite. Close to the dorms. Delicious specialty pizzas. Sticks with you as you walk all those hills. Small dining are that holds more people that it looks like it would. A few tables and the rest are window seats with tall stools. Walk inside and step up the to counter to place your order. Then find a seat or table. Didn't take too awfully long for the pizzas to be ready. Served hot and loaded with your choice of toppings. ATM: all the meats BBQ Chicken (with pineapple?!!) Both were so good I would order them again.

    ATM Pizza

    This is my son's favorite pizza place. He always orders the ATM Pizza (i.e., Meat Lovers) and the BBQ Chicken (you can do half of each). I liked the ATM the best as the BBQ Chicken was too sweet for me, and it had pineapple on the pizza. My wife loved the BBQ Chicken pizza and raved about it. This is just off campus and you will see many students in there. The setup is your order and pay then grab a place to sit. The service was good, it took around 25 minutes for our food.

    A nice looking pizza, but no pepperoni despite ordering it.

    ***UPDATE*** 2 hours later management called me back to apologize and comped us for the pizza that was incorrect. I appreciate this level of customer service! **ORIGINAL** I ordered delivery to our hotel room. While the pizza's flavor was good, I was disappointed because the kitchen did not make the order correct. I ordered a custom 4 topping pizza and only received 3 of those 4 toppings. If it was a veggie, I would've been less bothered but I paid for pepperoni and didn't get it. I get it... orders get wrong, but it was written on my receipt so I know the kitchen must've had these ingredients on their ticket while preparing the pizzas. The kitchen or someone at the restaurant should be reviewing the orders before they go out to make sure they're correct. I called back to politely inform the restaurant of what had happened. I wasn't expecting a new pizza or anything, I just wanted them to know so their next customer wouldn't have a similar experience.

    Brenz Pizza has the best pizza in downtown Of Knoxville. They have the best Bruschetta pizza on the planet. And the entire staff makes sure that my two son's and I have the best pizza experience at every visit.

    Convinced my rotation mates to order from here instead of papa johns. It was a hard battle because of the price difference but I won! After an hour and 15-30 mins, our order finally arrived. We were starving..the pizza wasn't hot. one of my amigas had to microwave her slice. I ordered 16 inch pies of the classic, spinach artichoke and black and blue. Everyone loved the black and blue, as expected based on the description. The second best was spinach artichoke then of course, classic is for the safe eaters. Surprisingly, no one touched the classic. The toppings for the black and blue were spot on but I wasn't a fan of the dough. I think I only like brick oven pizza or nyc style pizza. The dough was too thick - similar to bread sticks. The bacon on this pie really gave it the kick in texture and taste. Can't go wrong with bacon on a dish! The spinach artichoke wasn't what I hoped for. I wanted it to taste like I was eating spinach artichoke dip. It was rather dry. Overall, incomparable to Hard Knox Pizzeria. Brenz definitely tried!

    NC Pizza, of course I need to rep this place. I recently came here for a yelp event and it was awesome so I wanted to come back and definitely give this place a proper review. Pizzas here are tasty, but the one thing I have problems with is the parking situation. Like, where are you going to park if you don't go to UT? Obviously, this restaurant is sitting on the strip and is going to be trying to attract that foot traffic. The big problem that I forsee about Brenz is their pricing and especially for college students. When we sat there I swore I saw a lot of people go next door to Chipotle. It's understandable, I guess but this place has good pizza. However, I would say that the prices are a little high for students, and especially for pizza. I know students go down to Old City and eat at Barley's and then at the same time get a beer on tap. Sorry, but that's reality. I don't think students give a crap about quality or at least good pizza with fresh ingredients. I really like what Brenz has and definitely can compete with other pizzerias. But depending on where and how far people are willing to go, Hard Knox is down the street as well and they can compete with Brenz and has plentiful parking. It's a hard business and if Brenz had a better location or lowered prices to compete this place would definitely take off. I hope Brenz does survive though and that they find success in this area as the space for nice quality pizzerias are never to be turned away.

    Great little spot for a lox bialy and a latte…read more We got: -Potato blintz (not very flavorful but it went okay) -lox bialy (dill and scallion schmear, goood nova lox, red onion, cucumber, capers, tomato, sweet pepper relish and dill. served on an everything bialy. This was the star) -latte I'm deeply regretting my not grabbing a babka on the way out but it just gives me another excuse to head back!

    As a Michelin guide restaurant, Potchke has earned the right to "mess around in the kitchen", as…read morethey say. However, I wonder about the hype. Haven't had pastrami in a while so I had to order the Pastrami Reuben and the presentation was great with how it was stacked! Between the sauce and the sauerkraut the flavors were all good and I enjoyed the taste of the pastrami when I found it, but the bread to meat ratio was so high I mostly tasted the burned crust of the bread and very few bites of pastrami. It was one slice of pastrami, not a thin slice but not what you hope for when you bite into true Jewish deli pastrami, which are normally bursting at the seems with meat. Marble rye is hard not to burn and they did a good job for the most part, but I tasted more crust than I did pastrami, and for $18 I wonder if this sandwich was more a charge for the hype. The blintzes were also smaller than one would expect of a blintz but I absolutely loved the compote on top.

    Headed to a Smokies game, we chose to stop into SmashCity for a pregame burger…read more The service and burger came up quickly. I opted for the truffle smash and large fry. My buddy opted for the Spicy Smash. The burgers were mmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmm great, Juicy and the bun held up. Fries were fresh and would like to see maybe a topping or poutine option for them. Cool spot to get some AC and great burger before a Smokies game or a night in the old City.

    We already had 250 miles under our belt for the day. 4 more hours to home. I was sick of fast food…read moreand we were making good time so we decided to venture off the road, but just a little. SmashCity wasn't far off of the interstate, it had good ratings and although we'd been eating burgers and fries quite a bit on this roadtrip, a good burger and fries really sounded good. All of the reviews were right on - this was absolutely NOT fast food - it was fast, really fast, but the speed was just bonus. As we usually do, we split. We chose the Carolina BBQ smash. The burgers were juicy - if you're not careful, I guarantee you'll be wearing it. Two critiques, it definitely needed more sauce - I just added some of the SmashCity sauce from our fries and it worked but I really would have liked to have had more BBQ sauce. Second, the fried onions were quite burned. I pulled off most of them. The hand cut fries were piping hot, just the right amount of greasy and seasoned perfectly. Splitting the burger was a good call - I'd never have eaten the whole thing myself. The burger and fries were just over $20. When you consider a Big Mac meal at that clown place is $14, SmashCity is almost a bargain. Paul, the owner was like the energizer bunny - he was everywhere at once. Personality oozed from his pores. Make sure you tell him Sue said hi! (He won't remember me but just say hi anyway!) Now I wouldn't say SmashCity has the best burgers - that award goes to our friend Jerry. He makes a pretty mean smash burger on the blackstone. If you have an extra half hour, skip the fast food burger joints, get off that highway, and go let Paul fill your belly for the rest of your trip! You'll appreciate it!
