David SchwartzDecember 26, 2018Serving traditional Napoletana style pizza. The pizza is on point, you have to order at the counter and the pizza arrives quickly. They take reservations which I encourage. Fun for families with kids.
Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014My favorite pizza joint in town. They introduced me to peppadew peppers that have since changed my life. Go for a classic Margherita (add the peppadews!) or white Bianca pizza Read more
Julian WeisserAugust 16, 2016Best pizza in Nashville. One of the best in the country (NYC, Chicago, included). Wood fire ovens, beautifully designed open floor plan.
Chancey PickardMarch 24, 2016Love the atmosphere! Lots of fun watching them make the pizzas! Pizzas were tasty, but average. It's also BYOB!
Azlaan JumaOctober 29, 2016The food was amazing, but on weekend nights its more a place for parties and large groups rather than a date, the kind of setting where you dont mind getting you pizza cold and an hour after you order
Brooke Harris MaschmeierOctober 17, 2013The pizza is good, but for the price there are several other great options in Nashville. Great for groups but if you're looking for more of an intimate venue on par menu-wise, check out Bella Napoli.
LilyNovember 18, 2015BYO wine only, however they also have a fully stocked bar as of late. You won't go wrong, but the San Gennaro is my favorite.
Jason BeanJanuary 21, 2016We've heard about this place and made our visit for the first time recently. Absolutely delicious pizza and fun environment!
Ginny HandySeptember 30, 2014They just started a 15% discount for anyone in the hospitality industry on Monday nights. Get it while it's good!! Oh wait, it's always good!!
Jeff MarshallSeptember 10, 2014Gotta say, this was really good pizza! The San Gennaro pizza with sausage, peppa dew and Carmelized onions was awesome!
Lesley EspinosaMarch 2, 2015Amazing pizza probably the best one I had in Nashville!! Favorite one "diavola"deliciuos.
Bruno Henrique AlmeidaDecember 23, 2016All pizzas are amazing and you can see the "Pizzaioli" making the pizzas.
Erin MosowOctober 24, 2014Flavorful crusts and simple ingredients make amazing pizza. Great for groups.
Excellent pizza, you have to pay first (call in) so have your credit card ready when you call
Douglas LuckettSeptember 7, 2016Go for the San Gennaro pizza. Bring your own bottle of wine (just because you can)!
Lynn McClurgMay 14, 2013Excellent pizza, great show getting to watch them make the pizza and the wood fired ovens.
Nicki RobinsOctober 2, 2013If you want authentic Italian pizza, this is the place! This is the real deal!!!!!
- Hands down, best pizza in Nashville. True Italian pizza. Awesome place!
Michael OttoDecember 21, 2012Quite possibly the most unique and innovative pizza place I've ever been to. There desert isnt bad either!
Alandis BrasselJanuary 17, 2013Looks like a cross between NYC's Bad Horse and Adrienne's. Authentic. Delicious.
Regina DriessenSeptember 2, 2016Pizza is really good, but could offer more kinds of pop besides coke
Great pizza. Very nice staff. The pizzas cook rapidly!
Margarita pizza with dipping oil will make anyone's day.
