Hands Down, One of the Best Pizza Restaurants in the U.S.!…read more I'm not kidding, this place is that good! It rivals some of the best pizza we've had in Italy, and it's right here in Knoxville, Tennessee! HINT: Make sure you have reservations! We went on a Thursday night and the place was absolutely packed. Thankfully, we had reservations! Once we were seated, we cooled down with an ice-cold beer and got started with Sourdough & Olive Oil, simple, but incredibly good. Then came the Mozzarella and a Special Pâté & Pickle Plate, which included a Mushroom & Pistachio Pâté. WOW! That pâté was crazy good! If you like getting outside your comfort zone and trying something different, this is a MUST. My son and I love to venture out and try new things, so we decided to take it up a notch and ordered the Trust Fall. They basically take over and create two pizzas with random toppings for you. What a cool concept! And let me tell you... SO, SO, SO GOOD! They even created our starter for us and paired everything with a bottle of wine. The whole experience was fun, creative, and completely different from your typical pizza restaurant. We also ordered the Sofia, a Pepperoni, and another pizza whose name escapes me. Every single one was AMAZING! And here's another HINT... DON'T EAT TOO MUCH! You're going to want room for the homemade Gelato! It is fantastic. One tip: If you already know you want a favorite flavor, especially Chocolate, order it with your meal. They can run out of the popular flavors. If you order it early, they'll scoop it up and save it in the freezer for you. Now THAT is service! Service was amazing. The pizzas were incredible. The concept was creative and fun. The gelato was the perfect finish. I honestly believe these are some of the best pizzas in the United States! If you live in Knoxville, or you're coming into town for a Vols football game , what are you waiting for?! GET YOUR RESERVATION IN NOW! You will not regret it. Cheers!

I say generous because they were very nice and gave my lady a starter to take home. The pizza was amazing and full of flavor, the crust was like the best breadstick you've ever had.

The pizza here is consistently fantastic, which is why we continue to come back. Unfortunately, the…read moreservice timing has become a recurring frustration for us. On several visits, we have specifically requested that our garlic cheese bread and salad arrive before the pizza so we can actually enjoy the appetizer and salad course first. Tonight, we again had a very clear conversation about this request, yet everything arrived in the exact opposite order. What was most frustrating was being told that "the pizza comes out when the pizza comes out," as though there is no ability for the front staff and kitchen to coordinate timing. In an open-concept restaurant where the order staff and kitchen are working side by side, it seems like simple communication could easily solve this issue. We truly enjoy the food and want this restaurant to succeed, but proper pacing of a meal is part of good dining service. Appetizers and salads should enhance the experience -- not arrive simultaneously with or after the main course. We hope management will take this constructively because the food deserves service that matches its quality

Stopped by the location on Cherry by happenstance the other day. I only had a slice, but I have to…read moresay this is one of the best slices I have had in a very long time. The crust had the perfect crunch and for a slice that size to not droop when picking it up was awesome. I have had some damn good pizza around the US and the world and that one slice was near perfection. The lady (name I can't remember) was informative and super nice. I will be trying something else from there in the near future for sure.

We stopped by South Coast Pizza during a sporting event in Knoxville! It was a beautiful day and…read morethey have a large outdoor seating area outside - large picnic tables - and booths and more picnic tables inside. Menus, silverware, napkins and plates are available on a table when you walk in and you order at the counter and pickup at another window. We ordered the massive slice of cheese and pepperoni ($3), cheese sticks ($7), small Caesar salad ($5),and green monster pizza! The order was ready extremely quickly and we dived in - everything was hot and fresh. Kids liked the huge slices of pizza - thin crust. The cheese sticks were amazing - big and fluffy - only about 6-7 in an order but would highly recommend. Pizza was delicious - pesto base with chicken, arugula, feta. We ordered the medium and the pizza was filling. A great stop if you have kids or are craving pizza - lots of different speciality pizzas or you can build your own.

I didn't realize the place was local until walking in, but it's a family ran restaurant with a great charm inside. Our waitress was super friendly and very attentive to anything that we needed. She did upsell us on ranch without indicating there was a price to it, but the ranch was delicious! The TV's inside were a tiny bit loud (they were playing a Spider-Man film), but the pizza was so good that I will definitely be back.

We have driven by this restaurant on several occasions & finally decided to stop. It was lunch time…read moreso why not. The restaurant was welcoming & it smelled good. The waitress told us to grab a seat wherever we wanted. She was quick on taking our drink order. After reviewing the menu we decided on the lunch special & a capri salad. Our capri salad arrived & looked appetizing. After our first bite we looked at each & said "it's not Florence". The tomatoes did not have flavor, drizzle of olive oil was light & very light balsamic vinegar. The lunch special of 2 slices with 2 toppings was outstanding, even with a big flop. It's big enough for two people or tomorrow's lunch. Will go again, maybe for dinner.
