I was very surprised by Jaboni's in the best way! This pizza spot has entered my top 5 favorite pizzas in Knoxville-- the cheese pizza is wonderfully priced and delicious. 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. read more

We go almost every Tuesday for trivia. It's such a a great time. The pizza and all the food is amazing. The service is good. It's always a fun uplifting experience. The trivia makes it fun for all ages. Very clean as well. Never have had a problem. read more

Thank you for the delicious to-go Margarita and Pepperoni pizzas today. I didn't have to wait long.

Oh my gosh. The pepperoni, cheese, and sauce is fine. The crust was horrific. I don't know how to describe it. Stale, Tuff, tasteless. We actually ate the toppings of a few pieces and threw it away. Husband was too mad to call them to complain I don't think we will be trying again. read more

Let's start with this.I am from Long Island moved here 5 years ago. All of these negative re jews are nonsense if something is cold report it . We found the grandma pizza amazing just like home . Crust crunchy the sauce DELICIOUS . The eggplant hero fantastic!!!!! Bread crunchy not soggy. The garlic knots very good ! we live 90 min from here we will be back routinely read more

We have ordered consistently from Jaboni's Knoxville since they opened the location. We have always been pleased, until our last three times doing carryout. Every time, the pizza has been subpar. The first occurrence was a small pepperoni with extra cheese. That pizza was served with about four times the amount of cheese one would expect with extra. Complaining about that seems ungrateful, but sometimes too much really is too much. And, the pizza wasn't sliced. Mild inconvenience but an inconvenience all the same. Next time, the pizza was an odd trapezoidal shape instead of round, all the toppings were slid over to one side (not done in transit, it literally has the pepperoni all on one side). Tonight's order was undercooked and, again, all toppings on one side. The garlic knots we added as a last minute impulse buy were deeply regretted as they were basically dry, overcooked dinner rolls that unmelted butter and garlic had been slapped on. The quality of food is just unsatisfactory as of late and the service seems to be young kids who, if you don't tip for carryout, seem to consider you invisible. I've given three opportunities for the store to make it right and step up the quality. Once is a fluke. Twice is a issue that you hope works out. Three times is an indication of a deep rooted problem in attention to detail and care of service. We will likely not be back. read more

So as someone who relocated from New York City to East Tennessee after 30 years, I feel well qualified to review pizza. With that being said, this spot is decent. Not blow you away good... slightly pricey. Portions are small and they don't have Zeppole's? The garlic powder is not at the table. It's cute the people are friendly and not very quick. Decor is NYC and it gives the vibes. I enjoyed my small somewhat cold Geandma slice but I won't be going back intentionally. read more

OMG!!!!! Love this pizza!!!!! I don't know who these New Yorkers are that say this doesn't taste like home but holy smokes. It's so good! I'm from the Philadelphia area and it taste exactly like what we had there. I've been looking and looking and finally found a place! You guys need to open a shop in East Tennessee! Like True east! But, I will make the drive because this pizza is so dang good! read more

Misleading server, tricked into ordering 20 inch pizza . Nice atmosphere and large proportions

Coming from New Jersey/New York area it's been really hard to find great pizza in Tennessee. Well today was the day Jaboni's is amazing blew it out the water, some of the best food I've ever tasted in TN, started with Order of garlic knots, very fresh crispy, came sitting in thin layer of amazing garlic sauce with parmesan cheese, I saved the extra garlic sauce and dipped the pizza in it, next I ordered 3 types of pizza, standard cheese personal was perfectly cooked, 2nd wife got white pizza one of the best she has ever had, 3rd was grandma pie, one of the best we have ever had, the service was excellent as well, waiter was very on point & friendly (Dylan I think his name was). the place it definitely up scale, very well decorated an very comfortable booths, very nice bar area with tvs, great music playing. Def will be back for sure. read more

Nice atmosphere , tho a bit loud. Service was ok. A bit slow but everyone was friendly. The food was ok as well. I liked the truffle fries and the calamari was good. I was not impressed by my main entree. The lobster ravioli were swimming in sauce. And the sauce was really oily/greasy. The next day my leftovers was solidified with a gross layer of oil on top. I will never order that again. read more

Saw the sign from the highway "A taste of Long Island" All I can say as someone who grew up on Long Island is..... take the sign down. The original owner was from NY, but sold it in 2022. This isn't Long Island pizza. It's not horrible, but not good. Crust is wrong, dough is wrong. I was hopeful.... But left disappointed. read more

Good pizza turn but the lights over the booths down. I felt like I was in an interrogation. I confessed to the waiter that I had cheated on my taxes. We asked him to turn them down, and he did, but the manager made him turn them back up. read more

My husband wanted to try a bunch of pizza places we have not been to in Knoxville and this was the first in his list. We arrived and were seated quickly. The server was nice. We asked what was popular and they mentioned a few items. The kids shared a mozzarella stick kids meal and the margarita pizza. The margarita pizza barely had any cheese. I get that it's fresh mozzarella but at least have a thin layer covering the whole thing. You can see from the picture it's mostly blotches of sauce (very thinly spread) and not many toppings. The large Original Special pizza was just okay. My husband said it needed more sauce and I have to agree. The best food items out of the food we ordered were the mozzarella cheese sticks and garlic cheese bread. It's way too expensive for what you get. We paid $100 for 4 (2 adults and 2 kids - 7&9) for our food when you include a tip and were less than satisfied. read more

This place is fantastic! I don't hand out 5 stars for pizza places often, but this one is very close. Crust is a little thicker and on the chewy side, but it tastes phenomenal. read more

Being from NY it is usually not possible to find pizza made like when I grew up. This is hands down best you will find outside of NY/NJ area. It's not exactly the same, but great nonetheless. I'm not close to visit frequently, but when I head up to Knoxville, I'll definitely be back!!! read more

The pizza was excellent as was the Antipasto Salad. Draft beer was available. Service was fine. Ambience was nice but needs a little more character. The pizza and salad were ample and lasted several more meals, that being said $75 for two even with leftovers is a lot. read more

Kind of a cool place. Stopped for a few slices of cheese pizza for lunch. I ordered to go. The place was empty except for a few people at the bar. Pizza didn't take very long to get. Kind of greesey and floppy. Rating it a 1-10, I would rate it a 6.2. I would give it another try, but next time I would eat in. Server was friendly and the decor had an Italian Pizzeria feel to it. Easy parking close to highway. read more

Ordered a couple pizzas to go. There was so little sauce or cheese on them, even on a CHEESE pizza. Hate to have to order extra cheese to get a decently cheesy pizza. read more

First time at Jaboni's. We arrived at 3:30 pm with absolutely no wait. Dylan provided pleasant service and great recommendations. We had the garlic knotts and garlic cheese bread (off menu item) for the table. We also enjoyed the Sicilian and Margherita style pizzas. read more

We had dinner here for the first time and were very impressed. I had a cauliflower pizza with sausage, and my friend had a meatball calzone. Everything was so tasty! Angela was our server, and she was top-notch. My friend's calzone came out a little overly brown & crispy. She immediately stepped up and had it remade without a single word from us. Drinks were promptly refilled, and she made sure we were happy with everything. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Overall I am glad we have a nice place to sit inside and order NY style pizza. But options are where I had to drop my score. For one, they only really have a large 18" pizza options. For a single guy or couple wanting less you have no option except to have left overs. It's just not practical. The pizza is ok for most part. Our pepperoni had a little spice bite which was good. Other menu options will likely bring us back but only if we have at least 4 people or more. Also notice the have less toppings as options for your custom pie. If you like pineapple and other less NY styles you will need to go elsewhere. Device is trying but they just don't have the staff to get you in and out quickly. read more

Our first time eating at Jaboni's. Their motto - "A slice of Long Island". Well, we are from NJ so this would be a real test! We ordered Grandma's pie with meatballs. Let me tell you - it was delicious! And huge - when you go, you'd better go hungry! It was so good, I wish I could have eaten more, but we did take the leftovers home. I would definitely eat here again! read more

I'll start of by saying the service is good. The pizza is alright it was kinda soggy. I'm sure there are other pizzas places in the area that have better pizza. I was kinda hoping for NY style pizza but this one isn't close. People seem to really like joboni's but I'm not super impressed. read more

The food is amazing! It is definitely a New York Pizza eating experience! There is a beautiful, cozy outdoor seating area and a lovely NY diner themed indoor restaurant! We were seated immediately and had the kindest server, he was knowledgeable about the food and the purpose behind the creation of the restaurant. I cannot express into words how amazing this experience truly was, please visit them, this was an unforgettable experience read more

I have been looking for 15 years for a pizzeria that can make New York style pizza. We moved here from New York and literally stopped eating pizza. Could not find anything close to it. Then we found Jaboni's! Now we can go back to eating our pizza once a month. This is the best pizza I have found in the state of Tennessee! read more

I'm from Long Island, and this felt like the food from home. Started with an amazing Caesar salad and got these delicious stuffed shells. Definitely had some to take home. Staff is friendly, and food is that classic NY Italian you know and love. GO LONG ISLAND! read more

I would like to give a hardy "thank you" to Jaboni's. I had made plans ahead of time with a different restaurant to pick up a meal on New Year's Eve for 12 people and to our disappointment and dismay, the restaurant the restaurant did not carry through on their end. We found this out one hour prior to our dinner. Put in an incredibly stressful spot. We called Jaboni's and explained the situation we were in, and they were more than happy to help us. They put together a wonderful lasagna meal with breadsticks and a beautiful salad for our party of 12! Our guests were all very pleased with the meal. Thank you Jaboni's! You saved the day! read more

Lucky for me they just opened 10 minutes from my house. It's good to get a solid pizza place around the corner. My husband and I shared the Margarita pizza. The crust is solid. The marinara was perfect. Not to acidic or sweet. The toppings were fresh and delicious. The only negative was it took a while because there short staffed. But it's was more time on a date with my sweetie. read more

They claim to be Long Island pizza, knowing that Chicago and New York are know for their great pizza we had to give it a try. We ordered a Neapolitan pizza with Italian sausage. It was cook perfectly had a rolled edge crust and the bottom of the crust had a crunch to it like a pizza is supposed to have. The only exception would be the sausage that they used. Every pizzeria in Tennessee uses a sliced sausage for their pizza. In Chicago or New York and most of the country they use fresh ground Italian sausage that is placed on the pizza in clumps. We found it to be one of the best pizzerias in the Knoxville area and plan to go back again. We found it to be a bit on the pricey side for pizza , that's why I only gave it 4 stars. read more

Ordered Jaboni's while visiting Knoxville & although I've never visited Long Island I believe them when they say it's like a slice of Long Island, so that's where I wanna go get some pizza cause this was some good pizza. We ordered the Original Special Pizza as the menu ordered & the Grandma's special pan pizza with pineapple. this was really some good pizza guys. It was the large slices that you can fold in half and dip in sauce if you choose, and the pan pizza was large squares. Really good. We had it delivered so nothing on the Restaurant/bldg in this review. Definitely going back here. read more

Went here with my daughter and her boyfriend for dinner. The place was pretty empty when we got here. I have the veal parmigiana and my daughter had the chicken parmigiana sub. Her boyfriend got the Italian sub. They said the subs were great. My daughter liked that the chicken was small pieces and not just a chicken breast on a roll. The veal was tasty. Might have to try pizza from here next time I am in Knoxville since I am from Long Island myself. Will have to see if there is any written history on the owners to see where on the island they are from. read more
