I have had pizza from all over the United States, including New York City. My husband has had pizza from all around the world, including Italy. Nowhere have we found any pizza that compares to the amazing pizza at Legends and Lore. The restaurant is small and almost always busy. The decor is very interesting and will keep you entertained while you wait for your food. And speaking of food, the Flatwood Monster pizza is especially out of this world (pun intended.) One of the toppings is macaroni and cheese. I don't even like mac and cheese, but I love it on this pizza! If you haven't tried it, be sure not to miss it. Just a warning, it does have jalapenos on it. So, if you can't handle a little heat, then I recommend The Legend pizza, which is a supreme with the freshest toppings you'll ever find. Their sammiches are also delicious and very large. A whole hoagie is actually two large sammiches, so you'll have one to eat and one to share or take home. The wings are great too. Heck, everything is fantastic. The owners are friendly and really care about their staff, customers, and the people in the area, often generously giving food those who have fallen on difficult circumstances. They are, as we say here in Appalachia, good people. We drive 36 miles round trip almost every week from Englewood just to eat at our favorite pizza place. It's that good! We love Legends and Lore!! read more

Went today for the first time and was very glad we did. We split a small meat Stromboli and wings. The Stromboli was great with lots of flavor and great amount of toppings. The wings were good size and cooked just right. Good seasoning and flavor to them and not a lot of fat. Only got the mild with a side of hot sauce. The mild is very mild and that side of hot was just right. We got sweet tea that is made how it should be made very sweet. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly. Cool decor in the place with lots to look at as you eat. Will definitely be back to order more things soon. Have to try the pizza and a sandwich. read more

It's no myth. Legends & Lore is a good place to eat. The inside of the shop is filled with tokens and pictures of your myth of choice, from the Loch Ness Monster to Bigfoot to every folklore monster in between, and their specialty pizzas have cute names and ideas that run with the theme, so choose your myth wisely. The pizza is good, not my favorite but I like their unique flavors, such as with the Rougarou and the Exorcist. People say to order the pickle pizza but I haven't taken that plunge yet. My favorite part might be their wings, very meaty and good choices of flavors. The Moonshine BBQ tastes like regular barbecue sauce but my favorite is their Honey Garlic Sriracha. Some of the wings are so hot you'd have to sign a waiver to try them. Some may call it legend-dairy, but I call it a pretty fun pizza joint! read more

First up is a hidden gem we went to in Madisonville, TN called Legends & Lore Pizzeria. We took a detour because my friend said she heard about this place from one of her favorite podcasts to listen to and I'm always down for pizza so I quickly said yes. The deal was even better when Big Foot was mentioned lol. To start off staff was great as soon as we got out the car I noticed the staff instantly got ready for us to enter and that was really nice to see. It was our first time there and we were treated so well. The owner was very nice and was great to talk to. We pretty much talked to him the whole time we were there about cryptids. Not going to lie I could have sat there and talked to him for hours if I could. Easy 10/10 Pizza was amazing. The crust looked thick but was very lite and man was it crispy. The first bite I had I knew we had something there. Everything just tasted fresh and high quality. The sauce was so good. It wasn't sugary tasting. It was a lite sweetness but still had that robustness to it. As I type this I'm hungry and my mouth is watering. Easy 9.2/10, it's now in my top 5 favorite pizzas. Anytime I go to Tennessee now I will make sure this is one of my stops. Oh the pizza we got was half Sasquatch and half Area 51 I believe. I don't really remember honestly. We also got the Cheezeballz and I'm so glad we did. These are simply just dough filled and I mean FILLED with Mozzarella cheese. They were awesome. They give you a side of thick garlic butter sauce that was to die for and marinara sauce. My only critique would be they should not only bake these with garlic butter on top but once they are done and come out the oven add more garlic butter on top and then serve it. 8/10 Potatoe wedges were really good. Good flavor just needed a bit of salt but other than that I'd order these again. 8.5/10 This place is decked out in Big Foot and other cryptid decore and you should really check this place out. Great staff and great food. We even bought shirts so you know we loved it. read more

Good service and received food in a good amount of time. within 30 minutes I was running to the bathroom after having the chef salad. While I can't be sure I can say that usually means something was off with what I ate ... I'd try again but next time will have something that is cooked like pizza or calzone read more

Great pizza all around from the classics to their specials. They also have great gluten free crust. Very small but great atmosphere. Very friendly service. read more

We love legends pizza....we try to have it for dinner every week or two....better than pizza hut and dominos

Pizza was amazing. Great crust. The garlic cheesy bomb app was the best. Also, do t miss out on the garlic sauce.

This place is soooo good. Love the employees and atmosphere. We tried the pickle pizza, thunderbird BBQ and steak and cheese Bigfoot wedge. Everything was soooo delicous. Definitely some of the best pizza I have had. The wedge was amazing!!! Definitely reccomend giving this place a try. They have so many different pizza options. We will be coming back to try some other pizzas for sure! read more

Wonderful pizza joint, Bigfoot themed decor adds to the charm. Multiple smaller and large (6 ppl) tables. Great selection of pizzas and sauces. They have a Large gluten-free pizza crust!! In my experience that's very unusual and worthy of a 5 stars by itself. We had the Fantasy Island (Hawaiian) pizza. Plenty of diced ham, pineapple chunks and well loaded with cheese. We were impressed with the serving portion. Unfortunately the sauce/flavor was a little bland compared to similar pizza at other places, however, they have 'Squatch themed hot sauces on every table and a little bit of the mild sauce made the pizza perfect - just what I was craving. read more

First time visit as we are new to the area. We got the special pick 3 items for your XL pizza $16. We loved the pizza perfect amount of sauce & cheese. We Will be back! read more

Pretty good pizza and sandwiches. You absolutely get your money's worth. Eddie has done really well with this place.

Their chicken wings are the best around and also the cheapest priced. I'm not to crazy about any pizza but they offer real solid pizzas with several speciality options as well. read more

I can't believe I'm just hearing about this place and I live one town over. I love their concept (I love Bigfoot) and I'm all about patronizing small local businesses. I checked out their website and read all the reviews before heading over. I'm a huge pickle lover so I was intrigued with their pickle pizza. It received great reviews, however; I didn't want to commit to a whole pizza of it just in case it wasn't for me. I visited the shop on 10/26/24. The sweet lady at the counter helped me out by offering me a baby pickle pizza. It's not offered on the menu from what I could tell but I think it's a great idea considering they have some very different specialty pizzas. I got one of those and I also ordered myself a small traditional pizza with pepperoni, onion, green peppers and pineapple. One thing I'm very picky about is pizza crust. I feel like they got it right! I did enjoy the pickle pizza but I would only buy another baby pie in the future (if allowed), not a whole pie. My traditional pizza was very good. Toppings plentyful and super fresh. Like I said, the crust is everything so kudos to them for making a slightly chewy, slightly crunchy crust. Reminds of me of NYC pizza. No flabby crust here folks and it's not greasy. Not thin and not too thick. I can think of a few chains where you'd be getting flabby and/or greasy crusts. While I waited I enjoyed their mythical creature decor on the walls. Mostly Bigfoot related which I love. They have a cute T-shirt I plan on buying someday when I return. Bigfoot carrying a pizza slice. It's a small unasuming place with two picnic tables outside and tables on the inside. I saw the owner in the back busy making pizza. If he's there next time and not so busy, I'll give him a shout to tell him thanks for the great pizza! read more

We love this pizza and normally grab weekly! If you like pickles, make sure you order the pickle pizza! You will not find it on the menu, consider it the best kept secret!! It is so great, crunchy, garlicky and delicious pizza! For a more traditional style, we like the meatball and sausage with extra sauce. Our third pizza is the skin walker ranch! The blend of ranch, chicken and bacon! If you are looking for a good local pizza place, check out Legends and Lore, you will not be disappointed!! read more

I took a take out pizza peppers & onions Medium size $20 bucks which I thought was pricey for the size. Pizza was good but not fantastic again for the price read more

What an interesting little place! The family and I had stopped here after we went to the Lost Sea Adventure. We were on the road back from our trip to NYC. The pizza was delicious and staff were very friendly. The ambiance was really cool with plenty of photos, signs, and missing 411 playing on the television. I loved the overall uniqueness and theme of this place. There needs to be more themed restaurants like this. It was such a fun experience! read more

I grew up in New York and spent most of my life in Pennsylvania, with frequent traveling around that part of the Northeast. I also spent a year in Chicago when I was in the military. All that to say, I've had some REALLY good pizza in my life. When we moved to Tennessee we knew the food would be different than what we're used to, and I assumed that I would only ever get good pizza again when we traveled back North. I read about Legends and Lore somewhere, and saw that their pizza is pretty well liked. My wife and I tried it and were pleasantly surprised to find that the good reviews were well deserved. Their pizza is by far the best we've found in East Tennessee, and we also really enjoy their wings. The service is always great and the staff always friendly. We have been back many times since our first visit and we are glad to have such a great local restaurant close to where we now call home. Thank you. read more

Ok. This Jersey guy approves. It's not thin crust Jersey pie but no one's perfect. It was excellent though. Fresh vegetables on the pie and a side salad for one is big enough for two. Most importantly the bottom had a crunch. The staff was great and the owner came out to chat when it died down a bit. I will definitely recommend. And we'll be back. The establishment itself reminds me of a Jersey pizza joint. read more

We were celebrating our son's birthday yesterday (a big Mothman fan!) and after leaving Chattanooga and on our way back home to NE Tennessee, he had picked Legends & Lore Pizzeria as his dinner destination. Definitely worth the 12+ mile detour off I-75! Ordered 3 huge Monster Pizzas and all were served fast, hot, and very delicious! Big 18" pizzas and enough for leftovers for 2 more meals! Lots of really cool decor immortalizing Sasquatch, Mothman, Aliens, the Jersey Devil, and more! Looks like all the locals know too where to go for pizza because when we left there was a line to the door of people either ordering or picking up pizzas! Definitely worth the drive down from Knoxville, Alcoa, and Maryville. Thanks for the great pizzas and a fun time! Looking forward to trying some of the other pizza creations on your menu on our next visit! read more

Ordered wings and small pizza. The wings were not bad and serve hot... Our pizza was not the 4.5 stars we were hoping for base on ratings. No such thing as bad pizza but our had too much sauce making it a wet and runny. read more

Just a few yards off of Highway 411, incredible spot to grab a bite. This is my second trip. Took a pizza home a few days ago and couldn't have been happier with flavor, portions, and overall purchase. Came back a few days later to try the sandwiches out and am blown away. If you like unique flavors outside of the box of chain pizzerias this is your place. Plentiful toppings and incredible pricing. I can't say enough about the sandwich's either. Baked and served in a basket with a bag of chips. Great quantities and super friendly service. Try it out and you'll leave full, satisfied, and not feeling like you've been cheated because the pricing is great too. If you like pizza, you can feed a family of 4-6 for under $25 and feel good about it. Out of 5 stars, I'd give these folks about a 5 1/2. read more

The pizza I ordered was great. I got one with fresh tomatoes, onion, mushrooms, black olives and extra cheese. Next time I'll leave off the tomatoes which left the crust a little wet in the middle. Otherwise it was great and gobbled up by all of us! My husband got the jalapeño mango wings and my son got hot wings. Both were excellent. We also got potato wedges which were delicious. It's a small restaurant-- only 7 tables. You go to the counter to order and pay. Drinks are self serve soft drinks and iced tea with an option to have free water. It took about 20 minutes for the food to be ready and it was brought to our table. If you're a Bigfoot fan you'll absolutely love the decor of this place! We went on a Friday evening around 6:00 and it was packed but it was only a couple minutes before a table was ready. There was a line to the door for carry out but it went quickly. This place is very popular by the locals! I'll be back! read more

I had heard of this legendary pickle pizza on social media and was just waiting to be in the area so I could try it. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! The pickle pizza was delicious. We also got the Rougarou, it was a little sweet for our taste but still a good pizza. I wish I would have ordered a larger size of the pickle pizza because it was all gobbled up was too fast. The theme is the restraint is fun and the staff was very nice. We will definitely come back when in the area. There are lots of other items on the menu I'd like to try. I also thought the price was decent. We ordered medium pizzas and they were a good size. read more

Excellent food and service, they are always friendly and helpful! Thank you for making our food experience amazing!

Outstanding pizza. Some of the best in the area- and we've been to ALL of them including the Chattanooga and Knoxville metro areas. Try the pickle pizza- it's made with ranch sauce and is incredible. The cheese balls are great, too- just a big lump of mozzarella wrapped in dough and baked. The pizza is great. Crust is perfect and sauce just right. It's a small place with a tiny dining room, only about 5 tables. Well worth the drive! read more

First time eating here and can say I'm very impressed!!! We are the X-Large 3 topping pizza, 10 piece wings and cinnamon bread for supper there. Between my husband, two boys (ages 4 and 1) and myself we ate the lot! It was amazing tasting! The place is decorated in Sasquatch themed items and conspiracy items. The bathrooms and main eating area are slightly dated and could use some cleaning but not too big a deal. We will definitely be back again to eat at this establishment another time. read more
