I wish I could give this place 0 stars!! I asked to get the baked ziti without ricotta and red sauce, just butter and mozzarella and they looked confused! She asked the cook if they had butter and he said, "we got oil". No thank you. They have no butter in a place that has garlic bread and pasta on the menu. Unacceptable. We left and won't return. read more

Great pizza. Reminds me of the Mom & Pop places of my youth. Best compliment I can give. Friendly staff. Great cook on a new York style pizza. Dinner salad was fresh and bigger than expected. Garlic knots were excellent. Will definitely come back. read more

It was a Wednesday and we had been at the waterpark all day. TIRED!! We were going to Big Daddy's Pizzeria, but they are closed on Wednesday (What the Crap). It was a great choice the pizza was outstanding, the wings were good and the garlic knots were overcooked but still good. Maybe we were extremely ginger or not but a family of ten are three large pizzas, two orders of wings and knots for $100. read more

Was so looking forward to trying J. Del's after the reviews I had read. In town for our 25th anniversary and ordered after 8:00pm thru Grubhub. Order received and told it would be about an hour. Got a text about 15 minutes later saying another 35 minutes being added to time. I was actually fine with all that. it's when I got the call from the Grubhub driver saying that 2 of the 4 things I had ordered would not be delivered because they didn't have it. Found this out 45 minutes AFTER I had ordered. I get it's a busy weekend... that's why I didn't mind the wait. But if you didn't have what I ordered, why did I find out almost an hour later..... Lesson learned. Go order in person... from Mellow Mushroom read more

Best pizza in east TN made by full blooded Italians. Handmade to order, real cheese and ingredients baked in brick oven. Also have Full menu and Gelato ice cream. Simply the best. read more

This was a nice little family owned place that was great to slip in a get a quick meal away from all the tourist ridiculousness. The pizza was OK, slightly greasy and very garlicky. Service was what one would expect in a place like this, it was nice to see a family operating the restaurant. Oh yeah, I gave em a extra star because they're smart enough to not buy into the COVID hype bs, and my review might piss off the Karen's who leave negative reviews over that topic. read more

Not many places to eat at 9:00pm and we are so happy to stumble upon this restaurant. This is a hidden little gem. We had the best service and the food was delicious. We will definitely be back!! read more

Absolutely love their pizza. Just like we got growing up in Connecticut. Authentic N. Y style. Not that run of the mill chain stuff.

Super expensive mediocre pizza. 47 dollars for a small cheese pizza, small pep and black olive pizza and 4 soft drinks. If that sounds good to you then go. Otherwise try big daddies. It's expensive too but WAY BETTER. Very disappointed in the Yelp reviews which made me go. read more

We came here for a trip for NYE! We were looking on Yelp for somewhere good and casual to eat after a long day of shopping, J. Del's had great reviews so we decided to give it a try and build a pizza ! Erin extremely helpful and so sweet helping us build a pizza! and Alexis the waitress was so nice and checked on us! the food was out in maybe 15-20 minutes and they gave us a large instead of small for free and told us happy new years! THE PIZZA WAS AMAZING, and the calzone was HUGE AND GREAT!! i'd give this place 10 stars if i could, the sweetest people ever !! read more

We ordered pizza from here after a day in the mountains. We went white water rafting and ended up being so hungry after! We called from the road and the pizza was delicious and ready for us to pick up and take back to our cabin in 30 minutes. It was pricey for sure, $46 for two larges, but hit the spot with no traffic or wait to speak of. We initially tried a couple places in gatlinburg and they didn't answer the phones and when we drove by traffic and parking was crazy!! (Gatlinburg firsttimers here...) J. Del's had parking right out front and was easy to get in and out of and close to our pigeon forge cabin. read more

I called for carry out on a Monday evening and was greeted with a thank you for calling please hold. So I held.....for six minutes. Anyone on hold for more than three is an eternity in my business so I gave double the time just to give benefit of the doubt. As a customer, I don't care WHY you can't answer the phone. I just care that you don't. My money went elsewhere. read more

Great pizza off the beaten path. Garlic knots had little bits of garlic, so yummy!!! They deliver too the lady told us. My 10 year old said he wished they were in our hometown so we could eat there again soon. read more

Excellent eating! We had a very full day in Gatlinburg and when we got back to the cabin, everyone agreed... pizza time. We found J Del's on Yelp and it did not disappoint. GREAT pizza, GREAT staff, and GREAT service. I grew up in NY and this place reminded me exactly of pizza places back home. Go. You won't regret it. read more

While in vacation, we took a shot in the dark ordering pizza and hot sandwiches from J. Del's! It was excellent!

Ordered a large pizza and garlic knots - both had great flavor and were delicious. The staff was very nice and offered plates, red pepper flakes and Parmesan to go. read more

Just had a spectacular meal at j del's on teaster. They are located right across from the mountain mile that is being built where the old belz mall was located. We split a dinner salad which included three hot, soft garlic knots. Then we progressed to the large meat lovers thin pizza. Best pizza we have both had. Thin, crispy with lots of toppings. Needless to say we took home enough for two meals for both of us. We tried the zeppole with raspberry sauce. They were hot and soft dough pillows. Everything was delicious. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out big time. We really enjoyed watching him make it too. the service was great and everyone was so friendly. we will be back for sure. read more

See all

Staying at a campground near by wanted some pizza , but not Pizza Hut or some other chain store pizza so we decided on a local place near by got two pizzas to go! This place didn't disappoint us we really enjoyed them !!! Two thin crust one half cheese and pepperoni the other all the way ! Fast service and very friendly place we will be back!!! read more

Friendly staff, great pizza, & conveniently located on Teaster so no need to worry about the endless Parkway traffic. My family will definitely be back next time we're in town. read more

Horrible customer service!!! Not only that but the pizza is very greasy and sloppy. Not to mention the bugs that were crawling around the place. read more

Unbelievable New York style pizza and so nice on the phone and at the counter. We loved it so much we ate here two nights in a row. Also had salad and a cold sub - all was delicious. read more

They advertised Chicago style hot dogs and Chicago Italian beef sandwiches. Well they no longer have hot dogs and the Chicago beef sandwich was not even close to a Italian beef sandwich it was basically a tasteless French dip. I'm from Chicago and I don't think that anyone there has ever had an authentic Italian beef sandwich or they wouldn't be serving that poor imitation. But hey the salad was pretty good read more

Everyone was super nice. Food was great. We had pizza, garlic nots and meatballs. Food came out fast. Multiple people checked on us while we were there to make sure we were enjoying our food and to ask if we needed anything. Owner came out and talked to us as well. We were in from out of town. Glad we found this place. Really enjoyed the food. read more

Wonderful food and friendly service. The Chicago dogs were spot on and every bit as good as the ones I got on the streets of Chicago without the drive. We also had the Chicago style crust with pepperoni and it was very tasty, especially the crust. We will definitely be back! read more

Good pizza, BAD SERVICE! After 45 minutes of waiting our pizza, we discover the pizza was on the delivery section

This is a nice pizza place run by a caring family and they will make your pizza exactly the way you like it if you just tell them what you want! Best pizza in this part of Tennessee. read more

I cannot say enough about this place. Went into have slices for lunch at the end of our vacation and only wished it could have been the beginning of our vacation. The owner started off by giving us two free slices. The best pizza.. New York style to perfection. Then he proceeded to give us a free dessert, the fried dough balls which are a must have. The food is wonderful and the service is even better. Don't miss out on this place. read more

J. Del's was OUTSTANDING. The pizza was the best that I've ever had. Good music and a very nice atmosphere. You can tell it's a "local" place. Not some chain with mediocre food for a high price. Given the location in this touristy town, the prices for not only the quality of the food you get, but also the quantity is well worth the visit. The owners run the shop and make the food. Both are from "pizza towns". It's like the best of Chicago and Long Island rolled into one pie. Do yourself a favor and treat your taste buds to an excellent meal and a great time. We will definitely be back for more. Well done!! Keep it up!! read more

We dined in this evening and were met by some awesome employees. We had a great meal, super tasty and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the meat lovers pizza and the pepperoni pizza. We have a family of 6,m and had several slices left over. We will definitely return if the opportunity arises. read more

It's refreshing to visit a family run pizza place that the owners take a lot of pride in providing great pizza. This was our first visit and we will be back. The kids loved watching the owners make pizza in front of everyone. They even gave the kids some dough to play with. We had the garlic knots and there was fresh crushed garlic in the butter. The pizza was great and the toppings were quality. We ordered small pizzas and they were bigger than expected. They had great music playing which made for a fun atmosphere. We played checkers on the table as we waited for our food. read more

J. Del's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Honestly it's hard to rate this spot. It's between 3 and 4 (could be 5 easily) stars for me but I'm a snob and don't like to round up but I will for this place. I think it's some of the best food in East Tennessee. They serve some of the best pies in the south. If you are from up north and are missing a good pie or an Italian sandwich this is the place to go. That being said you're gonna have to order ahead. It's gonna take you a while before your food is ready. I.e. 20 minutes on a slow day. They toss their own dough and it's great. But they also sell dogs, and that's why I go there, Chicago and New York style. But if you are coming in for one be willing to wait. A dog should take a minute or two to make (or less!!) and maybe they don't sell a lot of them but it's gonna be 10 minutes before they can prepare your order. Still the best dogs and pies I've found in Sevierville, Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Don't pass this spot up. You'll be happy you waited but don't go in if you are in a big hurry because they care about the food and take their time to make sure your order is just right. About as fair of a review as anyone could ask for. Now go get you some! read more

Stopped in with a buddy and had some pizza and garlic knots. Food was awesome, staff was super friendly and hard working. I don't ever write reviews but this place was worth bragging about. Go here and eat! I promise you won't be disappointed. read more

We tried this place because it was close, we were hungry and it had great reviews. It didn't disappoint. We were in town for five days and we ate here three times. Pizza is great, baked ziti was fabulous and zeppoles were amazing. Service was outstanding and they care about you as a customer. We had one small issue when dining in and they went above and beyond to ensure we didn't leave unhappy. Customer service is stellar. Definitely worth stopping in for. read more

Growing up outside New York City, I know what great, authentic pizza taste like. And, I worked as a pizza cook for a couple years. So, I am very picky about pizza, especially when I'm traveling through the south. After hiking in Smokey Mountain National Park, I was hoping to find some decent pizza in Pigeon Forge. I found J. Del's, and ordered a half-pepperoni / half-chicken pizza. I can honestly say that their pizza is delicious. The crust is perfect, not to thin, not too thick - just right. The toppings were delicious. For dessert, I had the Italian Zeppoles with dipping sauce. Absolutely delicious! Moreover, the owners, Joe and his lovely wife Jodi, are among the kindest, nicest people I've ever met. I strongly recommend J. Del's to anyone visiting the Pigeon Forge area, . . . you won't be disappointed. read more

Best pizza in PF! My husband and the guys on our crew are addicted to this place. Once a week; at least, they go in for "extra crispy crust" and they recognize them as soon as they walk in the door. read more

Pizza place not far from the hotels on Teaster Lane near the Island in a strip mall. Don't let the strip mall look fool you. The pizza was very good. Very good crust. Side salad was good, came with pizza bread rolls. The ravioli was typical. Will be going back. read more

First impression upon entering: approximately ten tables in their dining room that you navigate around to get to the back counter to order. Two tables were clean while the rest were littered with used plates and silverware. I'm confused if this is a sit down place or carry out. We walked to the counter and placed an order and were told it would be thirty minutes for our pie. They don't serve the food to you, but rather call your name and you go pick it up at the register...somewhat awkward there. We ordered a small meat lover's pizza. Price was $18.99. Kinda bland, lacking in flavor. I had to put a heavy shaking of the table side red pepper flakes, but missed not having the grated parmesan cheese. The hand tossed crust was crispy and chewy, pretty good texture. Tbh I had high expectations and Yelp let me down a little with this place. Maybe they had a bad night, who knows. read more

First off, I found Del's while reading some online reviews. The public noted Del's as One of the top rated pizza joints in the area, which proved to be accurate with our family as well. The folks at Del's were extremely friendly and produced a damm good pie that was devoured within minutes after returning with it to our cabin. read more
