    My wife and I came here for the first time recently after hearing good things. I decided to try a small pizza and she ordered the Chicken Parm. The waitress informed me that the pizza was buy one get one so major bonus right away, One for here and one to go. The pizza came and it was great. Probably 4-5 star pizza. My wife's chicken farm was good but not great. The chicken was a bit overcooked which is why I settled with a 4 rating. I took the spare pizza home and had enough for breakfast and lunch the next day.

    Delicious House Special

    Hot,fresh and delicious! Waitress was good and friendly. They weren't very busy and it was pretty quiet. Will definitely do it again.

    PARKING - Small parking lot on one side and seems to be a larger one on the left…read more ATMOSPHERE - I like that the place had a non commercial feel to it and was very clean inside. STAFF - The servers were very friendly and helpful. FOOD - The pizza was good and flavorful. It wasn't outstanding or the best I have had but if I was in the area I would go again. We drove an hour to try the food based on pictures I seen online. I was sad that the buffalo chicken pizza didn't have the cool drizzle of sauce on the top like I was told previously. I also wish they would have a deep dish option but understand may be difficult with lots of options on the menu. PRICE - I felt the pizza cost was very reasonable and the medium and large pizza we had could have easily fed 4-5 people. THE GOOD - Unique menu - Clean restaurant and friendly staff - Prices pretty reasonable NOT SO GOOD -Really wasn't anything negative to say. The pizza tasted good and seemed like a cool place for a family to enjoy a meal at a good price.

It looked like a really fun place to bring kids! The pizza was SO cheesy and good and the staff was really nice. If I ever find myself close again, I'll be sure to drop by and grab a slice :)

It's always great to find spots that cater to people with dairy sensitivities or different dietary choices. When you enter, you wait in line to order at the cash register. Then, you sit down and they bring you your food. I ordered a vegan pizza and sat at the bar. The bartender was very attentive and service was relatively fast despite the place being packed! While my pizza was a bit on the greasy side (which I didn't mind in the moment), the flavor was really enjoyable. Unfortunately, after eating there, I felt unwell for a couple of days. I can't confirm my stomach upset was related to the pizza, but that was my experience. They also host live music on weekend evenings. It was a little louder than I prefer, but if you enjoy a lively atmosphere, that could definitely be a plus. The place was busy when I visited, which is always a good sign, and while I had to park up the street, the free parking was convenient. Overall, I appreciate that they offer inclusive menu options, found their service to be friendly and fast, and appreciated the clean restrooms, even on a busy night. One additional note: the logo features imagery that appears to reference a stereotypical Native headdress, and as far as I can tell, the business isn't Native-owned. It might be time to reconsider that branding choice.

    Went there a number of years ago but could not remember tge place. My wife on the other hand knew…read moreexactly where it was and even where we sat. She could have told me anything and how would I know? Anyway, we were seated very quickly and our server was there before we knew it. He took our drink order and have us a few minutes to check out the menu. When he came back we asked if we could do half Demarco and half sausage and pepperoni. Said yes so that's what we got. Pizza came quick and it was prolly one of the best pizzas I've had in a long long time. Although I can't remember the last time I was there, but pretty sure it was good then too. I will say that there was one very serious problem and we could have handled it better. You see there were 4 of us with one being our 9 yr old grandson. Pizza had 8 slices, so we each had 2. Now tell me how fair is it that Grandpa only got 2 and the kid got 2. We should have ordered a 2nd pie. Great place, great food and great location downtown, so join the community and have a great slice!

After watching Sooooo many pizza reviews, we decided to try the Neapolitan style pizza. Thin crust and cooked in a wood fire oven. So.... First and foremost pizza was good. Being a Neapolitan style, I was expecting a bit more crunch with the slight char. The tomato sauce was very good. You could tell it was fresh crushed tomatoes and basil. Bartender and our waiter were awesome. Talked to us about the local brewery, the styles of pizza, etc. very friendly and cooperative with all the questions we had. We were both pleasantly surprised by this local downtown place. Good atmosphere and good food. A must try when downtown Chattanooga. They do offer Detroit style and New York style pizza as well. It all depends on the way YOU like your pizza cooked! VERY good pizza! I would probably give this pizza, on a pizza scale; an 8.2 which is pretty high. A little flop on the crust, but the crunch, char and the amazing tomato sauce, partnered with the atmosphere and friendly staff made it a must visit pizza place! We finished it off with the local made gelato. I had milk and honey and my wife had chocolate. Both were very flavorful and refreshing on this very hot day. Community Pizza is fitting as everyone either in or around this community should stop by and try this pizza! Thanks for a great afternoon experience!
