    The counter area, where you can also see the ovens and pizza prep area.

    The Italian decor brings this place together. It is located in a shopping center, but when you walk in you're transported to an entire new environment. They have murals on the walls, the open oven area, and is welcoming. The service, well it's not much of an interaction. You order at the counter, fill your own drinks, and they bring you your food. The staff are friendly though throughout your encounters with them. The pizza is delicious. We ordered the meatropolitan 16" and one slice was almost the size of our paper plate. Highly recommend!

    I'll keep it short and sweet. I'm from NJ, moved to TN over a year ago. Been nonstop searching for half decent pizza.... THIS is what I've been looking for. I didn't think great pizza existed down here. But I finally found it! It's 1.5 hours away from me so unfortunately I can't have it often. But my gosh I was so surprised and pleased that I finally found pizza comparable to NJ.

    Biggest calzone I've ever had, and definitely the most filled!!! When I ordered the calzone it said (for 2 people) so I figured it would be a decent size, but this thing is ginormous and heavy. I cut into it and there was so much cheese and peppperoni, I couldn't believe it. I got this massive, delicious calzone and a fountain drink, and it ended up being $20 or thereabouts. I thought it was a tad pricey until I saw how monstrous this thing is (have I mentioned it's big??). Definitely coming back to try the pizza and pastas now!

    Stopped in the other day for lunch. 2 slices and a soda for $7. The sauce was a little sweet. I asked them to cook the slices "well done" and they did a good job. (Nice and crispy but no real flavor) Pizza 3 stars.

    Since moving to East Tennessee from a Chicago suburb, we have tried MANY pizza places and have never been overly impressed. Until we had Metro's. It has become our pizza joint of choice. We have noticed the bigger the pizza the thinner the crust. (Which we prefer) The Italian Beef had a bit too much heat for my liking, but my husband was obsessed.

    Got the kitchen sink and it was really good!

    Great place! The pizza was good. We will definitely be back and try another pizza or even a pasta.

    So glad I tried this place for lunch today! Great pizza, price, and customer service!!! For less than $8, I got two generous slices and a soda. My choice of two different toppings per slice, so I ate my favorite (sausage/mushroom) and brought home a slice of my son's favorite (Hawaiian style) for him. Where else can you sit down in a quiet, clean indoor setting, and eat tasty food so cheaply? I'd say such places are few and far between these days. Kudos to the owners of Metro and to their friendly and hard-working staff!

    We ordered a pizza and calzone from Metro for pick up this evening. Both were excellent and our order was ready exactly when quoted.

    Immaculate reception

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

I looked high and low for a place that serves 'Nduja (spreadable salami) in Knoxville/ surrounding areas, and Amici is where I found it. It isn't something that you can find easily here, so I was excited to take him here, knowing he would be excited. We had a corner table, I sat on the booth side, which i'm 5'5, but the booth is a bit tall, so I couldn't place my feet on the floor. It honestly didn't bother me, there were pillows to prop for the bench seating and I was fine. We started with an appetizer (which I really wanted to try) the Arancini. Just WOW, they were big in size, and absolutely mouthwatering, flavorful and delectable. They were perfectly fried, were crisp, just the right hotness, and the pomodoro could be eaten by the spoonful. Honestly everything was great, but that appetizer still has me thinking about it. I ordered the Fig and Prosciutto pizza on sourdough and my boyfriend ordered a Four Cheese with 'Nduja. My pizza was good, sweet, salty and savory. He enjoyed his 'Nduja, but it was a bit different consistency that he was used to. They did say they made it in house which was nice for authenticity. For his birthday we ordered the Zeppole (its like a fried donut with a lemon glaze) - not my forte personally, because if it's not chocolate it isn't worth the calories- but it's not my birthday, hah. He absolutely loved the Zeppole and had dreams about. Over all we had a pleasant experience. Trust me, don't sleep on those Arancini.
