    Cooler area and box warmer

    We used the yelp app to look up local pizza place after going to Dollywood. This was rated one of the highest so we tried it tonight. We are glad we did the staff was really nice and helpful while ordering and the pizza was delicious. We ordered a 18" sausage and pepperoni and requested a little well done. It came out perfect. Nice blend of char and some dough bubbles for character. It was crispy and really hit the spot. If you need more pizza they do sell a 28" pizza if you have a large party, of course it starts around $60 but it is huge. We did a to go order and it was ready in no time. Very fast in the kitchen. Sauce was tangy with a little sweet flavor to it. On the way out I put half the pizza inside one of those Sam's club insulated bags because it was all I had in my truck, but one of the employees husband who had been picking up his wife who works there gave a insulated food bag he had for free. We really appreciated it and he asked for nothing. What a nice gesture. Something I will never forget. Thanks again it got home super hot. Restaurant is very clean and we will be returning anytime we are in town. So if you are looking for a local pizza place this it!

    I will be thinking about this pizza forever. I will probably not get back to this area for a long time so I'm glad I experienced it although I will miss this pizza. We ordered online which gave us 20% off. We got the meat eaters pizza and got garlic Parmesan crust, which was worth the little bit extra for doing that. What made this pizza so great was everything was embedded on the cheese and when I bit into it, it didn't pull apart. It wasn't messy and was packed with flavor and stayed together so well. We got apple pie rolls, which were really good but too sweet for me, but I don't have much of a sweet tooth anyway it was for my partner who really enjoyed them. Four stars only because it wasn't ready at our pick up time. We waited for about 10 minutes.

    We got the meat eater pizza and apple pie rolls. Delicious. This pizza stands out among most I've eaten. The Parmesan garlic crust was so noticeable and delicious. All the toppings were packed with flavor and all held together and didn't slop off. This was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Highly recommend this place. We did take out. The apple pie rolls were amazing.

    Decent pizza but way too salty in my opinion. We stopped in to try some since it was close to the hotel and suggested on Yelp. I wouldn't go back unfortunately. The pizza is expensive but everything is nowadays $20 for a large cheese, if you want toppings or a special pizza they run upwards of $30. You order at the counter and they bring out your pie and some paper plates. The cheese has seasoning mixed in so if you don't like that like my kids, they may not eat it. I think this may have something to do with it being overly salty. Luckily after a day of rafting they were starving and willing to eat some of it. The staff were nice and pleasant. Picnic tables out front are offered for dining or they have some seating inside. The basket of tots was large but again very heavy on the salt. I know it's the trend to ask for a tip for everything recently but looking upset when not given a tip when no service has been provided is off putting, I am happy to tip after we get the food and service.

    12 in Philly Cheese Steak Pizza

    This place was so delicious & the staff was so kind. We're traveling & had gotten lost on the way home & ended up here. The staff hand wrote directions for us to find our way because the GPS was inaccurate. I got the Philly cheese steak with chicken. It was the best pizza I've ever had. 10/10

    Another fantastic find in Pigeon Forge area thanks to Yelp! We did our order online via the phone on the way to the parking lot as we headed out of Dollywood for the evening. Wound up doing pizza with different toppings on each half and so good. I think the dough was what made the huge difference here. Ordered a couple of salads and both were fresh and were well worth the cost. Glad they were open late, as options were a little limited after the theme park closed.

    Chef Salad
    Shelli C.

    The pizza was delicious. Half pepperoni half cheese. The chef salad was good as well.. The chicken tenders and fries were a disgrace which is why this got 4 instead of 5 stars

    18 in Sasquatch Pizza - Perfection!

    Perfection! Ordered the Sasquatch pizza well done with light sauce - to go. This work of art couldn't get in my belly quick enough. The flavor was outstanding and as you can see, they are generous with the toppings. The crust was crispy. Even after the 20 minute drive back, the crust didn't cave from the weight of all the cheese and meat. So good!! Loved the ability to order online too, and it allowed me to customize.

    Nino's Pizzeria & Eatery was 10/10…read more We had the meatballs and a 16-inch Neapolitan pizza, and everything was amazing. The food tasted homemade, fresh, and full of flavor. The owner and staff were also incredibly nice and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I would highly recommend Nino's to anyone looking for great pizza and a welcoming local spot in Sevierville. We'll definitely be back!

    LET ME EXPLAIN!!!!! Pizza Rio is about the experience of pizza being served LIKE a Brazilian Steak…read moreHouse. Pros: 1.The pizza to me is served fresh, hot and that CHEESE PULL your kids are going to love that!!!! The adults definitely did 2. The staff excellent, friendly, professional, the BEST. You never get up, which is nice, especially with kids 3. Children 3 and under eat free 4. Coke products yes and about 5 minutes from the Compass Margaritaville Resort perfect. 5. You can make reservations so try to so you don't have to wait. If you do have to wait they have corn hole outside and a few benches. 6. Parking is plentiful and very close to entrance of the restaurant 7. Clean restrooms/ and restaurant 8. You will get full and the appetizers/desserts were not skimpy at all this place will fill you. Matter of fact my family really enjoyed the apps and desserts surprisingly. Cons 1 only one con - the pizza has normal flavor combinations. I did not experience a wow flavored pizza at Pizza Rio but I was not disappointed about coming either. This place is not something my family would visit repeatedly because the price to me doesn't match the experience. Please however experience it once because all the things you wished Cicis pizza offered to make the day feel grand out with your family this place definitely gives you without fail!!!!

I am not a huge pizza fan, but the pizza was so good that we spent another of our valuable vacation evenings going back to Big Daddy's! We did a "design your own" pizza with red bell peppers, onions, pineapple and ham, and it was mouth-watering! Big Daddy's is very much a family place with lots of "help yourself" items (drinks, napkins, etc.), a bit noisy but it is such a delightful place that the noise is almost a part of its charm.

    Service was good, friendly. It's counter serve, so there isn't a ton in the way of "service"…read morethough. Perfectly fine by me, because it's quicker and they can accommodate more people this way. The pizza is very good. Everything was tasty from the crust to the sauce to the toppings. I can't say it's the best pizza I've ever had, but it's up there. I might say that they go a little light on the toppings though. E.g., my wife asked for goat cheese on hers, but it was honestly hard to tell if there was any there. The one odd thing i found is that if you order a Build-Your-Own, you're going to end up paying a lot more, even if the toppings you add are the exact same ones on one of their classics. E.g., A 10" Mamma Mia is $19.00. But if you "build your own" with the same toppings, you'll pay $11 + $2.50 + $2.50 + $2.50 + $2.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 + $1.50, for a total of $27.00.
