Rock and Roll All Nite. Pizza Every Day.

Some of the best advice we have ever gotten came on a napkin. Turn it up, grab a slice, and make today a pizza day.

We came into The Pizza Kitchen on Saturday night, our first night in Knoxville, and loved it so much that we were back again on Friday! And truthfully, we could have easily eaten there every single day in between. It’s THAT good. Go VOLS! First off, the pizza is AMAZING. But here’s the inside scoop: if you know, you ... know…the secret pizza topping is MEATBALLS. Trust me on this one. Put the meatballs on your pizza and thank me later. HELL YES!!! And the garlic knots will have you feeling GOOD. I FEEL GOOD! Seriously. Order them. Don’t debate it. Don’t share them. Just get enough for everybody. Then there’s Travis, the owner. What an awesome dude. He makes you feel welcome the minute you walk in and is exactly the kind of owner that makes you want to support a local restaurant. The whole experience is pure Tennessee. If Dolly Parton opened a pizza joint, Mickey Mouse handled the hospitality, and Elvis was sitting in the corner saying, “Thank you, thank you very much,” I’m pretty sure this is what you’d get. Amazing pizza. Killer garlic knots Great people. Great atmosphere. D, W & W

This place is super yummy. The crust is crispy, cheese- pull is 5 stars. Flavor is 5 stars ....i can actually taste the tomato in the sauce, atmosphere 5 stars. They play awesome music, too!! I also had the meatballs & they did not disappoint. Service is spot -on. We had ipa from Ashville & was excellent. Don't ... over think it. Just come here.

This restaurant's spinach artichoke dip tastes like liquid gold, and the cookies are a perfect desert. Both are a bang for your buck. Pastas, build-your-own pizzas, and other deserts like the smores pizza in the picture are also sold here.
