“ All around great experience! The two ladies working were very welcoming and helpful! I got some slices of pizza to go! These slices have got to be the thinnest I’ve ever had. I love the oversized pepperonis and style of sausage. Crust is so thin and crispy, it’s like eating pizza off saltine crackers. I LOVE it, 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! THANK YOU ”

“ I recently moved here from New York I finally found a pizzeria that has very good pizza that tastes just like home. There Stromboli roll is out of this world full of meat and cheese. Absolutely delicious. The sauce on the side was rich and thick just like how I make mine. I will definitely be ordering from them regularly and the owners were extremely friendly and hit everything out of the park. I also had the Napoleon dessert and it tasted better than what I would get in New York. ”

“ This may be the most authentic New York pizza and pastry you will find in Knoxville. My italian grandfather owned a pizzeria in New York, and my father now owns a pizzeria in AZ making his recipes and my uncle owns an Italian pastry shop in Poughkeepsie. So I have pretty high standards for pizza, pastries, and Italian food in general lol. I knew once I saw that they fill the cannoli to order it would be good. The pizza is hand tossed and crispy but not cracker like or bland. We got slices and they were good, but next time I would go when I have more time and order a fresh pie. The cannolis were thin and crispy and had the most authentic orange hint to them that nobody ever does anymore. The lobster tail was so well done. Honestly, I would come here just for the pastries even if they didn’t have pizza. My only complaint is their hours are so hard to make it out here on a week night. This would be our go to pizza place every time if we could make their hours work for our busy schedule. ”

“ The best NY style pizza in Tennessee! I never thought I would find these bakery items outside of NY state. The sfogliatelle (Italian lobster tail) pastry is worth the trip by itself, and if you come you should get a cannoli too! ”

“ Amazing! The pizza was excellent! Thin, not a lot of sauce, and good ingredients. Had the bbq Hawaiian pizza. The garlic knots were full of fresh garlic. You might as well buy one of each of the desserts! They are phenomenal! ”

“ LISTEN THIS IS PIZZA!!!!! The bottom crust is perfectly crisp. Eves dropping the owners are from NY. The desserts looked so good. I am going to come back for some soon!! It's a hole in the wall pizza joint but the best one I've eaten at in Knoxville!!! You can tell its family and the food is made with passion! ”

“ We love their spaghetti & meat sauce! Have gotten it to go only and we’re so glad it’s not packed in a styrofoam container! The sauce is tangy and the spaghetti is cooked perfectly. Their garlic knots are absolutely delicious as well. They have an extensive array of Italian desserts made right on the premises & I can tell you that theNY Cheesecake is authentic-heavy, delicious and satisfying! Their prices are very reasonable and there’s plenty of free parking available. I’m going to try other things on their menu very soon! ”
