BEST pizza in the South!!! Possibly the best I've had outside of Italy!!! And the Nutella S'More pizza is divine!!!
Best pizza I've ever had in America. Only second to real Italian pizza. Try the Marciano with caramelized garlic and prosciutto. Delicious!
DW CouchOctober 4, 2015Haven't been disappointed yet. The Great White Hope is Excellent! Don't forget to get a popsicle too!
May be the best pizza in Knoxville, excellent fresh toppings and creative combos. Must try.
2 things you must have here: 1 the bone crusher. For some additional flavor add carmalized garlic. 2. The archie aka the s'more dessert pizza. It is amazing!
Kimberly LaneyAugust 15, 2014The freshest ingredients, all made from scratch pizzas, baked in a wood oven...delish!
Adam HillJanuary 13, 2012This is the only thing in this city I have found to be worth telling others about! I miss it sooooo much! Must get back to Knox just for this place.

Hard Knox Pizzeria has partnered with Dead End BBQ and has the "Pulled Punch Pizza". BBQ pulled pork, their special BBQ sauce, fresh drop mozzy, cheddar and red onions. You've gotta try this!! Read more- The Pulled Punch and Hawaiin Punch are my favorites. This is some reeeeeally good pizza. Definitely my favorite in Knoxville.
SamanthaAugust 25, 2014Pizza was good but overpriced. Paid $3.50 to add prosciutto to a 12". If you create your own, be careful, no cheese pizza price so they start with a specialty and add toppings at various prices.
Nice, tasty gourmet pizza. Bonecrusher is a personal favorite (with extra mozz!)
- The Best Pizza in Knoxville - hands down. You have to try the Smore Dessert Pizza - wow!
Don't forget the calzone. Their marinara is really good.

"This is a really nice beer garden. They serve low gravity beer but support local brewers. I highly recommend checking this place out."

"Honestly, this place is amazing. Hit up the food area for some amazing pasta salad and wraps or get you a decadent filet to cook at home. Don't even get me started on the cheesecake. Mmm."
