The best pizza in Knoxville! It's a little pricey but worth every cent. The ambiance is chill and welcoming and service is precise and friendly. I'd eat here everyday if they had pizza by the slice but I'm happy with whatever they got. read more

Absolutely delicious. Gluten-free pizza was amazing. They even have vegan cheese! Boyfriend had a regular crust pizza with meat and veggies and loved it. read more

This pizza was amazing! It was my first time trying it & even my daughter gave it rave reviews (she's a picky eater). I couldn't stop eating it & I don't typically eat the crust but even the crust was delicious! I definitely recommend The Pizza Kitchen! The staff were very friendly & helpful too. read more

Not quite Italy yet pretty darn close is The Pizza Kitchen on Kingston Pike. What a find! Absolutely delicious salads and pizzas with generous toppings and the tastiest crust around. The mouthwatering garlic knots ($8.95) likely are made from the same recipe as the crust as they are slightly sweet and light and smothered with fresh garlic. I ordered a personal-sized Greek pizza ($11) that came with homemade marinara sauce, Kalamata olives, tomatoes, feta cheese and onions. My companions each enjoyed a regular-size Greek salad ($7.25) and a large House salad ($9.95). And then there was the lasagna ($13.95) smothered in marinara and mozzarella cheese with a hint of fennel in the meat sauce of ground beef and pork. The restaurant offers soft drinks and beer, and vegans will dig the alternative cauliflower crusts with their pizzas that come in a variety of sizes and prices. Patrons order at the counter and a cheery employee brings the food to the table. The atmosphere is festive with red walls and decorated with photos, many of them featuring Elvis of rock and roll fame. read more

This is one of our family's local go to pizza joints. My boys would go here weekly if we let them pick. They love that the owner calls us "family." We love the garlic cheese bread, the pizza, the meat ball subs, and the salads are our favorites. Everyone is friendly. The atmosphere is kitschy and Elvis themes are all around. You might have a little bit of a wait on a Friday for a clean table but it's worth it. Sometimes they even have live music! read more

I will preface that I have eaten their pizza. That's why my husband and I chose to eat at the restaurant. The prices are very high. Adding toppings for all the pizza sizes are not the same price. That's very rare and greedy. A lot is self service. I was not expecting that. The pizza needed more sauce and seasoning. My husband noticed that too. They did cut it well. The spinach dip was amazing. The bread seems handmade. They need a little improvement. read more

Pizza isn't what it used to be... they all taste much the same with crusts a Saber-Toothed Tiger could manage and way too much oil and stringy cheese. So, we make our own pizzas and calzones... but the good doughs take time and chilling... SO... what can you do if you're riding around with your stomach gnawing on its sides and you're in Knoxville? --- close your eyes and throw a dart at the 1st pizza place you see? (You do have Tums with you... right? - and if you're driving I advise against the closing your eyes part!) But... fear not... there IS a place you can eat and NOT suffer adverse consequences!! Drum roll please.... The Pizza Kitchen is handily located on Kingston Pike - YES - and the restaurant is a perfect size for you nostalgia buffs. It's a counter order type of place with tables and a friendly atmosphere... a couple of TVs if you're a lone diner or lacking in conversational skills. They have a decent array of beverages and a good menu. They have pizza pan riser stands, too!! Ah, good memories........ I digress though - the pizza crust was perfect, plenty of fresh cheese, properly cooked add-ons... who knew that you didn't have to swallow the pineapple chunks whole??? AND, if you have left-overs they reheat wonderfully! Oh yeah..... no stomach upset, heartburn, or indigestion - only a craving to go back!! read more

A family owned restaurant; convenient to all of West Knoxville and Farragut. Located on Kingston Pike about a half mile west of Pellissippi Parkway The Pizza Kitchen is a family friendly dining experience. They have wonderful appetizers: garlic knots are my favorite, but they have shrooms, saucy meatballs, cheesy bread and spinach artichoke dip. Side salads are next with a House, a Greek, and a Caprese. They feature an assortment of dinner salads along with a meatball sub sandwich, lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, and manicotti. Then of course we come to the name of their restaurant, The Pizza Kitchen. They know how to do pizza right with spices, sauces, and tastes for every palate. From individual to family size, you will find what you are craving. Prices are very reasonable from an individual 8" pie to a family size 14" (which in some families could still be an individual). Stop by The Pizza Kitchen today for lunch or dinner. By yourself, or with family and friends, it's the perfect setting for dinner. Don't forget to order 'Take-out' when you're on the go. Follow me on a Yelp for more things to see and do in Knoxville and East Tennessee. read more

Vegan pizza is a joke. Called ahead of time since we have a large group. called to be sure they had vegan pizza and gluten free. Was told all is good. Arrive and place everyone's order but the "special" one. Was told the gluten free crust has cheese in it. WHAT!!! The entire group gets to eat except for 1. So here's the bad review. read more

This pizza is delicious ad the service is friendly. It reminds me of the kind of home made pizza that my Grandmother used to make. read more

Local, yummy, and they like Elvis. Checks all the boxes. Inside feels like a classic pizza joint. Their pies are constantly voted one of the best pizza's in town. Try The King. read more

Service was amazing! I was ordering for a large group. Everyone raved about the pizzas. We had the veggie Mac, pepperoni, mamma Mia, the king, Memphis bbq chicken and plain ole cheese pizzas. Not one complaint! That is saying something. Also tried the s'mores pizza for dessert- surprisingly very tasty! I hadn't tried them since they moved from Northshore but will definitely be going back and ordering again for large groups. It looks like they have a few beers on draft, can't really speak to that much since it was a pick up order. The dining space is on the small side but had great character. You should give them a try! read more

From NY, and I will be coming back here for pizza! Crust isn't too thick, and probably some of the best pizza I've had since being away from home. read more

Our oldest finished school for the summer and got to choose a celebration meal. Of course, he wanted to quintessential kid meal of pizza. We ordered garlic knots (4 per order), a 12" pepperoni and pineapple (yes, it's a legit topping! Ha.), and a 12" BBQ chicken. Our order came out to $38 for carryout. This was our second time eating at PK, the first visit my husband becoming obsessed. The food from tonight was fine, but not obsession-worthy. Stars meet in the middle for a solid experience. The best thing about this restaurant is definitely the crust. It is wheat, and fairly thin and chewy with a fluffy "puff" at the back. You can tell that it is fresh and made in-house. Love that! The marinara sauce was a bit bland for us, adding moisture but not the salt, sweetness, or punch of herbs that we prayed to the pizza gods for. Same thing with the knots. It is made with their awesome crust and they are fluffy and giganto but needed a little sprinkle of garlic salt. The BBQ sauce on the other pizza was really tasty and the chicken well-cooked and seasoned. No the processed meat, grisly bites that you get elsewhere. read more

Great pizza! This is some of the best in the area. It's a pretty simple place- walk up to the counter to order then seat yourself. We were there on a pretty nasty day weather wise, and the whole operation was being run (very efficiently I might add) by just one guy. We were a little worried but he did a great job. Good pizza has to start out with good crust- and this place has it! You can tell it's fresh and homemade. We started out with an order of garlic knots, which was pretty good. They were a LITTLE light on the garlic, but the sauce More than made up for that. Again, you can tell it's homemade and not from a can. The pizza was great! Nice chewy crust with just the right amount of crunch to it. Baked perfectly. And- the sauce. Mmm. The sauce has a BIT of a peppery "kick" to it, but I certainly wouldn't call it spicy. It's a great complement to the toppings. And- the toppings. They have a somewhat limited selection, but all the classics are there. We chose a "build your own" pizza with mushrooms, black olives, and Italian sausage, and it did not disappoint. The mushrooms were FRESH- which is a biggie to me. I hate canned mushrooms on a pizza! Overall, one of the best pizza places in the region, and trust me we've tried lots of them! read more

THE PIZZA IS SO GOOD!!! Man who took my order was very kind. Worth it if you're in the Farragut area

If you want a really good California style thin crust pizza, then this is your place! They specialize in whole wheat crusts, and there is not a huge selection of whole wheat crusts in the Knoxville area. This place was a go-to of mine decades ago, then they closed for almost a decade and recently reopened. So glad to have this place back. My go-to order is a Large Pepperoni Pizza. The crust is thin and crispy, just the way I like it. They do a large takeout business but also do dine-in. Check them out bc they also have live music occasionally. They are located in the shopping center that also has Shae Home Design, and next to Bill Jones Music. Go give them a shot, I'm sure they won't disappoint! Cheers & Enjoy!! read more

This was my first visit to The Pizza Kitchen and it will be my last. I called in a pick-up order and was told 45 min, but waited over an hour for the food. While things were not off to a good start, the owner apologized for the delay and was very nice. If the food was great The Pizza Kitchen could have turned it around, but it was a real disappointment. After waiting over an hour, I assumed the pizza would be hot and fresh by the time I arrived at home. I live 5 min away. The pizza and garlic knots were barely warm. Pepperoni pizza and the Maui Wowie were a 2 out of 5. The garlic knots were very roughly and not much flavor...a 1 out of 5. It was unanimous with the family that this one is not worth a return. read more

Just moved to the area from NJ. We were missing good pizza until someone recommended this place to us. WE WERE NOT DISAPPOINTED. My husband picked up some spinach and artichoke dip (the best we've ever had) and two custom made pizzas. They came out perfect. One of them being a GF cauliflower crust for our son with a gluten allergy. And the stuffed mushrooms?! FAHGETTABOUDIT. We came back in person to order again. Aesthetic? PERFECT for rock/Elvis fans. Each table has a little lantern on the wall, cute for a date. Seriously the best pizza around. You will not be disappointed. Come to find out, the guy that made our food is from NJ. No wonder the food is so good read more

Really good New York style pizza . Thin.. cheese flavor is spot on. I could eat the whole pizza!

Super fresh and tasty. Have had a couple hiccups but they are quick to fix it. Will be back. The peach pie is delicious.

I love this pizza. The Thai Pie, with its Thai peanut sauce, is definitely my favorite. The roasted red peppers and fresh cilantro give it a rich, fresh flavor. One of the beat things about this place is how accommodating they are. We were able to try four of the different pizzas by going half and half on two pies.. Another one of my favorites was a regular pepperoni. The place is pretty casual. You order at the counter, take your number to your table, and they deliver the pizza. You can run a tab, so if you want to have more than one of the microbrews on tap, you can pay when you have had you fill. read more

Super friendly greeting when we came in. The decorations are interesting and fun. But the best part was the pizza. We got an 8'' spicy chicken ranch and a 12'' pepperoni. Both were delicious - the crust is really the star. It had a nice crunch on the bottom and held up really well. The spicy chicken ranch was especially good - we wish we would've gotten the larger size! We come to Knoxville fairly regularly and have been looking for a good pizza place. I'm glad we found one - we will be back! read more

Had dinner here a couple of weeks ago, and it was sooo good! We used to eat here quite a bit when it was on Northshore, so I'm very glad to see it's back open. We had the Mama Mia pizza and a couple of beers. Service was friendly and attentive, and most importantly the pizza was delicious! read more

Great pizza!! Not greasy! The lighting made it seem as if you are eating by candlelight. Friendly staff and clean restaurant!! Love the Maui Wowie!!! read more

Tucked away in a strip center off Kingston Pike but the food was great. Try to get to The PK every time I am in town. Love the salads and the Garlic Knots are the best. I have now been there 3 times since Aug of 22. The pizza was great as well. Really cant go wrong with anything on the menu. If you are in Knoxville get by The PK for some great food. read more

I walked into this place hungry and on the verge of being late for work. I just expected some regular strip mall pizza. What I did not expect was the delicious, perfectly baked crust pizza that I was given. This pizza is on another level. I found myself eating the melted cheese and sauce off the box after I demolished my 8 inch. And the lunch special pizza is only FIVE DOLLARS. I will gladly be back, because this pizza is the best I've had in Knoxville. Service was quick, too; I was still late to work but it was worth it! read more

The pizza was so very good. We got the garlic knots as well and they were too die for with fresh garlic. Even though it was our first time here, we were treated like regulars by the wait staff. read more

Great Pizza!!!!!! Man behind the counter was very nice and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a good pizza.

The staff is not rude but most certainly not friendly. Went in and ordered to go, I wasn't greeted at all by the five people at the desk. I wasn't given a number for my order nor did they ask for a name. Matter of fact I was never thanked once, not even after paying. I found it rather shocking that you pay electronically at the counter and they ask for a tip. A tip, for what exactly? Since we weren't given any instructions after ordering to go, we just kind of hung out and waited, which felt very uncomfortable in a tiny room full of staring eyes. When we finally got our pizza the young man handed it to us, stood there and then asked if we had paid for it. Which obviously we had. We ordered a meat pizza which was just ok, definitely not worth the price tag. The experience also may have had some to do with the pizzas taste too. We have tried this place once before, we wanted to give them a second chance, they failed again. We won't be going back. read more

It took everything in me not to eat the entire pizza! The husband brought home pizza and cheese bread tonight and we were super delighted with it. I had the margherita because it's light on the sauce. The crust was great,not greasy, and the sauce was tasty. We can't wait to try other pizzas on our next pizza night! read more
