    Hadn't been here is over a year and always thought they had the best pizza around. Somehow I wasn't thrilled this time. Plenty of pepperoni, yet definitely lacked hot honey. I mentioned it to the bartender who said he'd get me more, but it'd cost. I said no thanks, and he then told me he'd comp the extra honey. Thanks. The pizza is $30! I don't think a smidgen of extra hot honey is going to break the restaurant.

    The service was excellent very quick and attentive. The garlic bread was very good you court tell the marinara was made fresh. The spicy margarita pizza was just ok . You had to wait for it to cool completely off before you tasted anything but spice . The ingredients are top tier but the execution was simple. We also ordered a vodka lemon sorbet drink. They were out of most of what we wanted . The vibe is chill and laid back which I like . I may try them again to give it a second chance.

    This place never disappoints! Staff is so welcoming and really on top of things! We had just ate elsewhere, so stopped in for a drink! Love the atmosphere and music. We usually sit outside but sat inside today. Lots of seating options. Lots of of beer on top and they are all really good. Opted for the S&L Spaghett which is refreshing. Also had their ice cream which they make in house which was delicious! Really light, smooth and flavorful! I had the Roasted Banana Peanut Butter & Marshmallow Ice Cream and so good! We didn't get a pizza but they are so good and highly recommend!

    their pizza is really good. I think they're over priced. their kale salads are really good. their pizza is made with sourdough. we got the sourdough and caramel ice cream. good flavor but it was rock hard. the bill was $105 for one pizza, 2 salads, ice cream and one cookie. I think the food is good but a little pricey. I live in Louisville where the food is 30% cheaper than Nashville.

    Vibe check? Picture this: Upgraded backyard style outdoor seating, brewery vibes indoor and perfectly located in East Nashville. Amazing staff. Locally sourced food and ingredient options? Can this place be any better? Best pizza my boyfriend and I have in Nashville! I DESPISE pepperoni. Will not eat it ever. This was the ONLY spot I have eaten at where I actually ate the pizza with the pepperoni on it and did not pick it off! I was so proud of myself. Their pepperoni was perfectly crisp, lovely cheese pull and great crust. Highly recommend their ice cream selection they have someone in house who creates the ice cream flavors, the last two on the menu aren't always there so highly recommend trying those out! You get a good bang for your buck in my opinion! Boyfriend loved the beers he got! (The Bountiful Blessings Gem Lettuce is locally sourced from Bountiful Blessings Farm in Williamsport, TN! How amazing is that! The peaches and aged Gouda were phenomenal. Dressing 10/10) **Its definitely worth the price for the pizza I promise you

    Yummy pepperoni pizza!

    Hello people! This pizza shop is one of the best places ever. It's similar to zaza's pizzeria in Chicago for having a really good wood fire taste that is SOOOO good. Idk which one is better though. It's cooked to perfection and has the best crunch. The service there was amazing. They had waters out immediately and were very nice. The pizza took a little long to make but it is so worth it! Very understandable also. The inside was very nice and pretty big since it is a bar and pizza shop. They were very efficient with their organization too. Yippie! My only complaint is that the water was warm but no biggie. This place was amazing and you should come and try it!

    THE BEST PIZZA IN THE CITY PERIOD. WOW. The spot is super cute to eat in too, we had a couple drinks at the bar and ordered the pepperoni pizza to go. Service was awesome. I was shocked how delicious this was. I will be back again and again. No brainer if you want FIRE pizza

    Beer and pizza is one of the best combinations this life has to offer. But when you make the beer local and the pizza sourdough, talk about gilding the lily! Smith & Lentz is the epitome of East Nashville. The parking is difficult, the service feels nonchalant, the prices are high.... But the food ! is ! GOOD ! All & all, the pepperoni pie was a delightful pizza to be treated to. But if I'm being forced to critique (as is the point of this app) : - The sauce was a bit too sweet - The main elements were very charred crust + pepperoni. I wanted more cheese & acidic sauce. My drink of choice (the S&L Spaghett) was something I'll wish for on summer evenings. It was like a Bud Light Lime on a special occasion (I mean this as the highest praise.) Here's the thing - I'm a certified pizza lover. While I certainly have some strong opinions and preferences, I also eat Tony's frozen pizza with a smile on my face. So my experience at Smith & Lentz was full of compliments and many "yums" were spoken.

    Extra Pepperoni with Hot Honey
    John Y.

    It was hard to choose which pizza I wanted to order but the extra pepperoni and hot honey looked like the best move. I was not wrong! Great crisp on the crust and perfect undercarriage. The pepperoni was great quality and the hot honey was amazing. Service was fantastic and not just my server, multiple people came by and made sure I was good. The ambiance was pretty chill when I was there and they have a cool patio out back. I would put this pizza up with the best of them in NYC and would 100% come back to visit when I am back in Nashville.

    Perfect PIzza for the serious slice aficionado! If you are searching for the perfect slice in Nashville this is it. Crispy undercarriage lots of leoparding nice bubbled and charred crust. Tasty sauce perfect amount of cheese, NYC in spades! Fantastic atmosphere, great staff, hip area of town what's more to ask for? Skip the ice cream it comes In A cardboard cup and is way too much $$$ ... they have a lot of room for improvement there.

    Beautiful patio and large space with that hipster glaze you come to expect in this part of Nashville. The food is good and a bit overpriced. The pizza we ordered didn't have a lot of flavor related to toppings but the crust was so tasty. The appetizer was $14 for 3 pieces of bread and a slathering of cheese and jam. Service is friendly. The beer selection was nice, and this is a nice casual spot to go with a group of friends or an informal date.

    We had heard some great things about Smith & Lentz, and as it is one of the highest ranking pizza places in Nashville we decided to stop by. Everyone working there was very friendly and our server took time to explain the menu to us. We tried the sourdough garlic bread, and the texture and taste of the bread was absolutely delicious. We received two pieces in our order. For our pizza we ordered a supreme with no olives. We added the "prom" seasoning, minus the chili pepper. The pizza was delicious! It had great flavor and we had a couple pieces left to enjoy later. We also enjoyed the ranch, garlic butter, and tomato sauce dipping sauces. I'm looking forward to trying some of the other menu items on a future visit. If you are looking for good pizza in Nashville I recommend giving Smith & Lentz a try.

    Good pizza, good vibes!!! Pepperoni pizza was fresh, hot, well topped, and crispy! Could have used a tad bit of salt but over all absolutely delicious. The garlic bread.... While decent I'd say over priced for what it is. One slice of bread cut in half for $9!!! It was hard to swallow the cost for the portion to focus too much on quality but it wasn't bad flavor. The sourdough and brown butter caramel ice cream was a decent size, rich, and creamy. I don't get much of a sourness but for a brown butter caramel ice cream it was good. I'd def come back and the server was super friendly and attentive. The star of the show was the pizza and so they did their part imho.

We loved the beef tartare ($28) and the ricotta spread with the focaccia snack plate. The sfincione were great too. -servers were friendly I think I would come back for lunch and try some more sfincione! The dinner menu rotates and was quite different and more pricey than the ones I had seen on here previously.

The pizza dips add an extra layer of flavor, although the pizzas themselves are so delicious that they honestly don't need much help. Where I do find some inconsistency is with the wine selection. There have been quite a few times when the bottles we like aren't in stock. The other is the pizza toppings--sometimes the pizzas come loaded with toppings, while other times they're noticeably lighter. Overall, though, the pizza is very good. The atmosphere is casual and easygoing, and the gluten-free pizza is excellent--a huge plus for us. Despite the inconsistencies, we'll definitely keep coming back!

    Frankie's -- Our New Go-To Italian Restaurant!…read more Frankie's is definitely not a restaurant you want to judge by its cover. Walking in, we honestly didn't have the highest expectations--but our perspective changed very quickly! The service was friendly, kind, and incredibly thoughtful. Our waitress walked my wife through the cocktail options, while the sommelier offered to take our bottle of wine and chill it in their cellar. Those little touches made a great first impression. And the food? An absolute 10! As our waitress highlighted the menu, I asked if they had bruschetta. They didn't, but she suggested combining two dishes to create our own--and we did! Their Heirloom Tomato Salad was fantastic, especially paired with their olive oil. The flavor was terrific. For our main courses, my wife ordered the Tennessee Corn Ravioli with Crispy Prosciutto, and I had the Cavatelli with Hot Sausage and Browned Sage Butter. Both were absolutely fantastic. Since moving here, we've been looking for our "go-to" Italian restaurant--and we found it! Overall, we couldn't have been happier. The food was a 10/10, and the service and care from our waitress and the management were excellent. We'll be back over and over and over! Our only suggestion: as the sun sets, several tables get hit with direct sunlight. A little shade would make the experience even better and keep guests from getting blinded during dinner. But that's a very small issue compared with how great everything else was. Frankie's is a winner!

The Bianca bread has nice flavor, but ours was rather charred. The meat and cheese plate is a good sampling for 2-3. The seasonal pasta with Tennessee was delicious but overly salty. I wanted the corn to shine a bit more, but the crunchy prosciutto takes over. The cavatelli with spicy sausage is a rich, oily dish with gummy texture. I wouldn't get that dish again. Dessert was a perfect end. The peach cake is not too sweet, while the chocolate tort is rich and happy. Service was great, and the interior is refined, warm, and restrained.
