One of my favorite pizza places in the Karns area. The prices are phenomenal and the pizza is great! The beers are $3 a pop and the service is wonderful. Our server is always there and she always takes care of us! definitely recommend stopping by pizza hoss if you aren't trying to break the bank and enjoy wonderful delicious pizza! read more

Disgusting greasy wilty pie they called NY thin crust! Lol Not even close!!! We tried two different pizza hoss restaurants, one on Emory and one on Clinton. Probably the worst pizza we have had since moving here and that's something! NY pizzarias put this place to shame. Then again..it's a chainstore restaurant...just what you would expect. Eladios is better. Trader Joes frozen pizza is better by a mile abd that's not saying much. Don't waste your money...especially if you know what decent pizza should taste like and a proper crust. Just say no! read more

Met here with a group of friends where all but one of us enjoyed Pizza Bowls - all the fixings of choice served in aluminum pie pans without the crust. They were delicious and super cheesy and came to the table piping hot. One in our party ordered chicken wings in BBQ sauce and asked for all flats. The server brought her all drumettes, so she had to send them back and wait for a new order to arrive while the rest of us ate our bowls. When they arrived, she said they were good. Our appetizer of cheesy bread was the best! No holding back on the cheese, and for us cheese lovers -- we couldn't have been happier. At the start of our meal, only a few other diners were present, but by the time we left, the place was hopping. Pizza Hoss also features several local beers and a variety of soft drinks as well. And the calzones looked intriguing with thin crispy crusts and loaded with ingredients. Best of all, the prices are reasonable. read more

Pizza Hoss - The Hoss Special Pizza Bowl with additional black olives - Desserts Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

We ordered a meat pizza and garlic knots with marinara sauce. The pizza crust was supposed to be a regular hand tossed. The pizza crust was very, very thin. The meat toppings and cheese were skimpy to say the least. In fact, the pizza seemed dry because of the skimpy toppings. the garlic knots were just ok and the marinara sauce had a strange taste. The leftovers went into the trash. We will order from Dominos or Papa John's from now on.I love that Pizza Hoss is so active in the community, but since ownership changed, the food quality has really suffered. read more

I ordered online and scheduled the time to get my order. It was a Saturday and a little busy when I arrived. Ordered the Hoss Special and garlic knots. The pizza had lots of fresh toppings, just enough sauce and the crust was great. The garlic knots are rather "doughy" but I like that. One of our favorite pizza places. read more

I went there with my wife. I'm a bit of a pizza snob so I wasn't expecting much, but this was a dang good pizza. I wanted to get a second pizza as dessert but my wife wanted to go next door for icecream, so we compromised... the icecream was good. read more

The food was excellent as always! They had several new beers on tap! An overall very enjoyable experience. The best gluten free pizza! read more

In the words of El Prez...Alright Folks, time for another pizza review. Tonight is the second time that we have had Pizza Hoss. Years ago we ate at the Clinton Hwy Hoss and loved it. I am not sure what took us so long to try it again but we decided tonight was the night to give this location a shot. The Kitchen Sink and a Sweet N Spicy were on the menu for us and they didn't disapoint. The food and service at both locations have been outstanding in our experience. Pizza Hoss is some of the best pizza around. Give either location a try and I am sure you will agree. read more

The NY style pizza crust was not cooked all the way through. Great service but bad food.

We stopped in before our kickball game. The restaurant has a good set up with TVs and pretty spacious. Mackenzie was bartending/serving. She was great! She was sweet, attentive, knowledgeable on the menu. Our pizza and drinks were great. We will definitely be back to try some other great things on the menu. read more

Ordered pizza and wings for pickup. The wait was very long, but that's not uncommon nowadays. Pricing was inline with what I would expect. Food was just bad. Wings were average and chewy lacking flavor. The pizza just wasn't very good, and wasn't eaten after we tried it. Not a restaurant we will try again. read more

What a gem! Great place for pizza and wings .... and huge tasty garlic knots! Watch some football games at the tall tables (one super large TV still needed) with a really nice outdoor covered patio on the less hot days! Salad was nicely and neatly prepared, all the ingredients were perfect, the presentation was nice, and she could mix it up herself. Garlic knots were gigantic .... and yummy for the tummy. Even the marinated sauce was heated! Wow! Pizza was thick with an excellent favor, good sauce! Cheesy bread had a terrific flavor with the specifically chosen garlic parmesan crust that added to the taste! Cheesy bread could have been thicker to my preference, but for some others it was just right. Checkout was smooth, scan the QR code on the receipt, then pay with Apple Pay or a credit card. We'll be back for football time in Tennessee ! read more

Not only is the pizza FABULOUS, But the owner, Justin, and staff make this place over-the-top with their customer service. Our office loves to provide lunches to local schools to say "Thank You" for what they do in our community. The guys at Pizza Hoss generously help us by delivering fresh, hot, delicious pizzas on time and out of their normal delivery range just because they also appreciate what we do. When we serve the teachers their pizza, they ALL immediately ask where it's from an compliment how great it is! This place is THE BEST!! read more

So the Service was great on call but when I went to pick up the pizza they were super rude and then didn't give my pizza wouldn't recommend again read more

Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere, great service! Will definitely be back!! Great place for group celebration.

Stay away. Its a cluster. A basket of wings and a large pizza is $52!. Wings, listed under appetizer, came out cool with the pizza. Pizza was woefully undercooked, fresh ingredients tasted completely raw. Cheese was only covering the center leaving the outer 2" ring of the pie uncovered. An older woman asked us about our food and I explained how the pizza was not fully cooked. She told me it was my fault and that I should have requested extra time in the oven when I ordered? WTF. I asked her what appetizer meant and the reply was "I will speak to kitchen staff". Its a complete shambles. Blaming the customer for not fully cooking the food? Really? Are you serious? read more

Great food. Good quality ingredients at a great affordable price. The service has always been good too

This was my family's first visit to Pizza Hoss. Seating was good, and the dining/bar side had an open floor for wheelchair access (if we had brought our oldest child but she was in school). The staff were friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, there is no child menu but tget are able to adapt making "chicken and fries" per our youngest's request. There is music playing with TVs on various channels. The food was pretty good too. We ordered the garlic knots and a large The Big Show pizza. The knots were pretty delicious, especially in the pool of garlic and butter (bottom of the basket). The pizza was also really good too (we requested white sauce as a preference). With the other delicious options available, it'll be a great place to try out and come back too. read more

Was a bit disappointed my salad was what I would call waterlogged, we ordered the garlic parm crust and when our pizza came out it was regular crust, I really think the garlic crust would have made it taste a lot better. It was pretty average pizza overall with pretty basic service read more

Save yourself and go somewhere else. The worst service in all or Knoxville. Always short staffed. If you place a carry out order it will NOT be ready when it's supposed to be. I had to wait 25 mins after the promised time. They could call and tell you it wont be ready but noooo you drive there and then find out. also the food isnt great. bella roma and marcos are both better. read more

Beware of junk fee! We like the food and prices are okay, but do not agree with the "service fee", so we no longer go.

Loved this place! Our server was amazing and so attentive! The food was fantastic and fresh! Atmosphere is very nice!

Read a good review so we made the trip to give it a try. Walked in, sat down, and waited. There were several people seemingly intent on a computer display near the entrance to the kitchen. We waited. Must have been 15 mins later the bartender finally walked out and proceeded to serve patrons that arrived after us. Took about 5 more mins before we got served. I tried to explain to the guy that it would be so much better if he checked on the bar once in awhile and at least acknowledged our presence. Also could find out who should get served first. He got upset, we left. read more

Food was delivered cold. Took 2 attempts to get plates and silverware. Pizza condiments never showed up. You guys need to figure out your service and staffing. No reason why you can complete a dining experience in your place when only 6 tables are seated. Your staff is fantastic but they were set up for failure. Additional comments left on Google. read more

I had the privilege to eat here tonight. I was greeted by Erika at the bar. She is very sharp & aware. She has a great attitude. I had the barbacoa tacos & chips with cheese dip. The Tacos were great. The cheese dip is the real deal. I found out that the cheese dip is made from scratch on site. That sure beats that gelatinous goo from Costco that other restaurants try to pass as cheese dip. The staff & the food are outstanding. Check them out, you will be glad you did. read more

Welp, this place was a total disappointment. Have been to the Clinton Hwy location on numerous occasions and the service, although a bit slow, was consistent and informative. We arrived at the Oak Ridge Hwy location and the crew was "shorthanded", which we were reminded of the entirety of our experience. It can be understandable to be shorthanded and slow, but at least let the customers know. The food was good, not great, but the service defined the experience for me. We were at this restaurant for 1 hour and 15 min and the only thing we ordered was Mac & Cheese, 2 salads (small) and garlic knots. The Mac & Cheese is pre-prepared and just needs to be run through the oven, the salads were, well just salads. The Manager came by our table and asked if there was anything she could do, we asked to check on the garlic knots, after about 10 min we finally got an answer, "our" garlic knots sat in the window too long and became cold, butter seized up so she was having hot ones made - that took another 20 min after her intervention. 5 stars on 9 reviews, I am not sure just exactly how no one else has had an experience like this. Dine at your own risk... Cheers! Prost! read more

I tried this place out for the first time yesterday. It was a surprise to me how good it was. I took my young "picky eaters" with me so I can't say I tried some out of this world pizza with unique toppings. No, we had an XL pepperoni and some garlic knots. First the garlic knots... They were good. I've had better, but these were good. They were chewy, hot, and drenched with melted garlic butter. We ordered the regular size and it was plenty enough for the four of us. Now the pizza... The pizza shocked me. I was expecting a run of the mill pizza joint experience. I was wrong. The crust had a great flavor. It was soft but had a nice crunch. The sauce was great. The toppings were adequate, and the cheese was stringy. We did upgrade to the "cheese blanket" which added extra cheese and a garlic bath to the top of the pie. It was worth the extra couple of bucks. In closing, I believe Arnold said it best, "I'll be back." I'll. E leaving the kids at home so I can enjoy the plethora of beer they have on tap. read more

My first order at Pizza Hoss Karns. I used the online ordering system for pick up. Ordered a 20" cheese pizza, said should be ready around 5:58. I arrived at 5:55, the bar tender said the pizza is in the oven and should be right out. Approximately 30 seconds later a person brings out the pizza and I take it home, which is about 4-5 minutes away. I get home, put the box on the table, and the family grabs a slice, we were all surprised that the pizza was ice cold, crust was hard, and had practically no sauce. It was like the pizza was sitting for a long time. We microwaved the slices and it tasted like old re heated pizza from the night before. we tossed the pizza and made sandwiches. We are one and done with Pizza Hoss, very disappointing, it was the worst pizza we ever had, a waste of $19 + tax. read more

We had the tacos and rice bowl from taco hoss. They were so boring! And barely any food. Chicken was still pink. Very expensive for what you get. Definitely not worth the money! read more

Two star only bc we actually enjoy 2 of their pizzas. Their tacos ruined us going to this place!!! Tacos were horrible!! My husband and I decided to go out and try these tacos... We ordered the el pastor tacos and the carnitas. Both were absolutely disgusting and very disappointing. The meat was cold and the tortilla was cold... I ordered lime rice as the side and it was cold too and plain... I will never eat their tacos ever again. They really should just stick to making pizzas. I can't see how anyone would like their tacos. read more

Probably my favorite pizza spot in Knoxville. Staff is super friendly, service is super fast and food is super delicious. Be sure to try the garlic knots! read more

Pizza Hoss - Desserts Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

We've always had great food at Pizza Hoss, but the service has usually left something to be desired. Last night (Saturday 3/13/21) was the worst. We arrived around 6pm to a full restaurant, all tables occupied, and a sign at the front that said, "Please seat yourself". How are you asking people to seat themselves with a full restaurant? We had a party of 5, ready to be seated, but we saw two six-top tables with only one person at one of the tables and only two at the other. They were apparently holding the tables for the rest of their party to arrive. This is frustrating because most well-run restaurants require the whole party be present to be seated specifically to avoid these situations. Management must have been ok with this because they sat there at the tables while we waited for at least 10 more minutes. We're finally seated some time later -- at a 4-top. Yes, the other two six-tops still have just one and two people, respectively. We put in our drink orders; I ordered a dunkel from Alliance, which is a very dark German beer. I don't know what I was given but it was a hoppy red beer, not the dunkel. From that point, we waited 22 minutes for someone to take our order or even ask if our drinks were ok. We spotted our server bringing food out to a large party (she made two trips) and running a card payment on the kiosk. Frustratingly, the couple two tables over were given loads of attention by their server -- the manager even sat down and talked with them, despite having a full restaurant, a line of people waiting to be seated, and servers getting pulled off their tables to expo, work the bar, and bring food to others. We left cash on the table for the beers. I don't blame the server -- it's management's fault. Stefano's was great, as usual. Not sure why we didn't go there first. read more

Great pizza on of the best in Knoxville we had the pepperoni on thin crust crispy and was delicious. Some with vegetables are more moist!

Food was great and the service was very good. We will definitely be coming back. Oh put the Cannoli on the menu it was great just ask Nate. read more

Pizza Hoss is delicious! They have amazing dough and fresh ingredients. My favorite is the "Kitchen Sink" but honestly, you can't go wrong with anything you order! read more

The server took our order, but returned after a 20 minute wait to inform us that they had no food. We left there with 3 hungry children. That will be our last visit there. read more

Very disappointed in the service tonight. Party of six split 3 and 3. Our neighbors got their pizza and we waited. And waited, and waited. They finished eating and we still didn't have our food. Love the food but the service was horrible tonight. Hate giving a bad review to a small local business but we come here often and they can do better. No service recovery or discount on the bill either. Didn't want a "freebie" but a discount would have been very appropriate considering how long we've been here. Update: Well, as we were leaving, they brought us two new pizzas and a calzone in boxes, which was what we ordered originally. We didn't want/need three more orders of what we just ate that was cold. The waitress asked if we wanted the manager To come over and speak with us. The manager should've already been out speaking with us and not put the waitress in that position in the first place. We left all that unnecessary food there, Which once again was a disappointment since they'll probably have to throw it away. Poor management. :-( read more

Damn been sitting at the bar for 35 minutes waiting for a to go pizza!! 2 people at the bar 1 table of 4 ppl that have been here before I got here!! What's the problem??? Food is good but shit I don't a hour for pizza when there is many option!! read more

Not even remotely busy when we came in. The sign says to seat yourself so we sat outside, and two servers watched us walk out there. Well we sat for 10 minutes without a single person coming out to say a single thing. Do I really have to flag someone down to get some basic service. Other than that the food is decent, but that is just pure laziness. read more

Stereotypical small town pizza. Got 2 big ones to go to split with family. Nothing to write home about. Floppy crust with little flavor to offer. Okay toppings selection. It's okay if you're in a pinch or in the area but not necessarily worth making a trip out of your way. 2 stars for take out flavor and quality, not to speak for inside the restaurant. read more
