“ This time we got the Iron Mike and the Bonecrusher. The cheese did not slide off like last time, so that made it much more pleasant to eat. It's still pretty expensive for a relatively small pizza, but it does taste good. I am upping stars this time around. The lady at the cash register was nice and our food was brought out quickly. I felt bad that I didn't see anywhere to put our dishes when we were done but I guess they pick them up for you. (I also asked another patron there and he said he thought they picked them up for you.) ”
“ Good pizza came in just before closing time they had good service 9.5/10 on the pizza ”
“ Wood fired Neapolitan Pizza chain in the Knoxville area. My family stopped in here while in town for a soccer tournament. Super friendly and helpful staff member helped us pick from the pies based on our tastes. The cheese bread is SUPER cheesy and we really enjoyed it, but the $13 price tag is a tad steep. My son and husband enjoyed The rocky top pizza with ranch dressing. It had plenty of toppings and the 12" was plenty for them to share along with the cheese bread. I had the Pastrano which was good, but I felt like it was a little lacking in flavor. Would have been better with a hot honey or balsamic drizzle on top. The crust of both pizza was good dipped in our cheese bread marinara. Really good texture that is not too thin and not too thick. Overall, I would recommend this place if you are in the Knoxville area. ”
“ We stopped here for lunch. The employees greeted us immediately upon arrival. Since it was lunch time we opted for two smaller pizzas and an appetizer. The pizza was really good.. it's wood fired pizza with a perfect amount of char on them. The BLT version was pretty decent. I loved the tomatoes on them.. the bacon was very sparse and I enjoy the arugula on top but it was kind of hard to eat since it was just a big pile. I ended up taking off the arugula and just having it as a salad on the side. The garlic knots were swimming in oil, garlic and spices. Personally I thought the price of them was pretty steep for middle of the road garlic knots. I would probably skip them next time. This place is a pricy place for pizza but it is wood fired and getting it cooked perfectly is where the cost justifies the price. ”
“ First time here and it was great... shared an 8" pizza and CEASAR salad with a girlfriend after the Chocolate fest!!! Which was great by the way!!! Fast service, clean , thin crust brick oven pizza was great and the salad was too!! We will be back and have to say the menu offers the pizzas half page in white sauce half in red... wonderful choices! Our pizza pick was posted( below) so we went with it!!! ”
“ We visited this pizza restaurant on our granddaughter's recommendation. She works there and raves about how good the pizza is. I have to say she's right. I thought it was a little expensive, but the pizza is uncommonly good. It's the crust that makes the pizza so good, but they also have some unusual combinations and use spices most Pizza restaurants don't use. My husband and I shared a bone crusher. What attracted me to that pizza was the rosemary. I love rosemary and have never had the opportunity to get fresh rosemary on a pizza. It was quite good. My grandson got a pizza that included pistachios. His cousin had a cheese pizza. My daughter got one of their gourmet salads. I don't remember what my son in law got but it was one of the white pizzas with chicken. Their holiday special is the Festivus. Everyone was happy and enjoyed their dinner. My granddaughter enjoys working at Hard knocks, so they must treat their employees right. I hate eating at restaurants where the staff is unhappy. The stress gets passed on to the dinners. The pizza came out quickly. They serve wine and beer as well as tea and soft drinks. There was no trouble finding a place to park. Take my granddaughter's advice and try it. We're glad we did. ”
