“ We loved it!!! Got there close to closing time and the service was still impeccable!! The pizza had flavor and taste and everything a Chicagoan would crave while traveling away from home with local taste buds in mind!! We found it odd that they, like many local places "do not" celebrate birthdays or anniversaries with a small cake/cupcake/anything birthday related (I mean.....most people go on vacation and celebrate life events!) but hey, not our boat to sail!! We loved our experience there and wish to come back soon next time round' the mountain!! ”
“ We chose this restaurant solely because it offered vegan cheese. For the first time ever my lactose intolerant daughter was able to order pizza at a restaurant! Thank you for offering vegan cheese and at no extra cost. This meant so much to her and us! The bread sticks & pizza were served hot & all was delicious! The staff was friendly as well. Thank you!

“ Great spot for pizza after a day in the Smokies! The crust is fire — a delicious neapolitan pizza with a soft slightly chewy crust baked perfectly in their wood fired ovens. We had a cheese and pepperoni - voted on my the kids, and it did not disappoint, evidenced by the amount of times we returned while we were there. The place has a fun, laid-back vibe and service was quick, even when it was busy. Very friendly staff! Easy 5 stars. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town! ”
“ Absolutely amazing pizza! The staff was so friendly and welcoming. The pizza was the perfect meal after a long day of driving. I've gone to Gatlinburg a lot, but this was the first time I ate here, and I was very impressed! Will definitely eat here next time I'm in town ! ”
“ We got the sweet and spicy wings. They were the smallest wings you could imagine. Like tiny baby pigeon wings. I don't think the picture does it justice. Very small wings. The sauce was really good but the wings were dry from being tiny and overcooked. That's why I only gave 4 stars. Husband got a small great white pizza. It was really good. Lots of flavor. I got the big dill. I love pickles so I figured it would be amazing! It was decent. I think the actual dill leaves or whatever made it a little weird. I would try a different pizza next time for sure.. We asked for some ranch but once we got the food back to the hotel we realized we didn't get the ranch. The were really busy so I get that things can be forgotten. No big deal. We would definitely eat there again. Just no pigeon wings next time! Lol ”
“ My child and I went there last night for dinner. My 15 year old son is a 5'11 170lb kid, hes not a picky eater at all. We ordered garlic bread sticks and the 14in pizza to share..... I got 1 slice. He had not stopped talking about how amazing that pizza was. Normally at home we get a 12in to share and it does us just fine, but he could not stop eating the pizza we had last night because it was so good. The staff were all soooo nice and wonderful to us. We will definitely be going back. ”
“ Came from northern Kentucky. Looked pretty good in the pictures. Tasted even better than the pictures looked. Sticky wings were amazing as well. Everyone was very nice and super helpful with what we should order. Highly recommend! ”
“ Very good pizza and garlic bread. Service was good. Restaurant was quiet. Seems like hidden gem. Just a blocks walk off the strip. Best priced meal we had the whole visit. Definitely recommend this place. ”
