The best marinara I’ve ever had, meatballs were excellent and our appetizer was mozzarella sticks which were fantastic and the waitress which was A foreigner was fantastic I highly recommend you eat here
I go to Gatlinburg every year...I've walked up and down the strip and have seen this place and finally stopped in on July 4. The portion sizes are HUGE!! We got a pizza, and I have never had pizza that was THAT DARN GOOD! I saw people ordering Calzones, and I don't think I could eat one of those even if I was given a week to do so....they are bigger than the plate they are served on. I can not wait to go back...this will definitely be a must go to stop every time I visit!! I highly recommend it for anyone.
We have been looking forward to trying our Best Italian, we visited tonight and everything was fantastic!! The garlic rolls are a must try!! So delicious and unique. The New York style pizza was delicious and flavorful. Service was on point and very friendly!! We will make it a regular stop for future trips to Gatlinburg!! ��
Their fettuccine is so creamy and a huge portion is provided for the price does speak for itself. The calzones are huge and the salads are very tasty as well! Their fried calamari is very well cooked and breaded.
My wife and I were very happy with our New York style pizza we ordered! With the crowd they had, our pizza came out in a very timely manner!
Great staff and atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back next time!
The food was delicious. The dinner rolls were amazing. The server was very friendly and the bloody Mary's were right on point.
Great Italian food, the garlic knots, yum, and we had the best waiter, Dillon!
The best Italian food I have ever eaten, great food and great service
The atmosphere was a little dated, but the people more than made up for it.
Very friendly wait staff, amazing food, I had the vegetarian ravioli, which was probably the best vegetarian ravioli I’ve had so far.
They do have excellent Bloody Mary’s, and the price wasn’t too extreme, we spent 50+10 for tip on two people with alcohol and food.
I would recommend eating here if you get the opportunity.
Awesome pizza and bloody marry! First time here, wanted to try something new, and it was worth it! The pizza ny style is really good. I am from New York, and this is awesome pizza.
First of all the portions are huge!! I got the spaghetti and meatballs which could easily be split, the bread they give you is delicious and the salads could be a meal of their own. I was really skeptical about going to an Italian restaurant in Gatlinburg...but it is absolutely delicious! The party I was with got the stuffed shells, lasagna, and the shrimp fettuccine and all were delicious. Our service was great as well. I would highly recommend this place, you definitely get what you pay for!
Service was excellent. Anne was perfect. The seafood medley in red sauce was very good and the Italian salad dressing was made at there and very good. Enjoyed and will try again.
I highly suggest this restaurant. The food was wonderful with enormous portions. The calzone can be shared by 3 people!!

It's good, but.... We usually stop here every time we visit Gatlinburg because my son really enjoys the pizza (which is admittedly pretty good). However, this go-round we ordered an 18" sausage pizza to-go, and it was $26... totally unacceptable.
The name says it all, the BEST!! Our appetizer was cheese sticks, I wish it came with more than 5, but they were still very good! I got the Calzone while my boyfriend got a pizza, and they were both just amazing!! 100% recommend! The employees were very kind and the atmosphere was very nice.
I ordered the spicy specialty pizza. Expected a little more heat but I have a pretty high tolerance to spicy foods so maybe it’s just me. The pizza was good thoughMy boy had the child’s size pepperoni and loved it.
Pricing was lower than expected. Total was around $26 for the two of us.
For the place being so crowded, the food came out surprisingly quick.
It’s the summer of 2023 and we came to this establishment for a quick bite because we really do not want to sit down and waste the night away at one of the restaurants. I was a little iffy on how the food would taste but do not let it fool you. This is very good Food and the pizza was really crispy and very tasty. The food came out fast and we were back on the street within 25 minutes so if you’re looking for some good pizza or just a quick bite, I highly recommend you try this place.
Always absolutely the best pizza! It never disappoints!! The pizza sauce is light and flavorful, like true New York Pizza, and the cheese is plenty and just right! The sprinkle of pizza seasoning on top could be a little more generous, but that's our only complaint. (And you don't need to order extra cheese unless you just prefer the excess.)
The garlic knots have copious amounts of garlic on top, buttery sauce underneath, and what tastes like very fresh marinara on the side.
I included a pic of a calzone because even though we've never had them, they look amazing.
And now we're bringing home a whole extra pizza and 12-count order of rolls because they're just That Good.

We were dodging the storm yesterday looking for a couple of bars to try, we tried the horrific Irish bar first, don’t bother, then I looked up an alleyway and saw a sign saying bar! My wife was let’s not go up there, up there we went!!
Opened the door to a small bar area, maybe 7-10 tables which is attached to the Best Italian restaurant, come and sit down said the guy (later found out that was Chad)
We sat having a couple of wines and beers and Chad asked if we was going to eat, wasn’t going to, but Chad had said how great the food is, which was backed up by the massive queue at the restaurant.
We had some wings, Parmesan and garlic were delicious, hot wings, well they are what they are.
My wife decided to create her own pizza after seeing them come out of the kitchen, the create your own bumps the price up a little, if like her you have loads of toppings!
But hey ho, you’re on your holidays.
The pizza was fabulous, but what made our evening was Chad the bar tender, wonderful guy where nothing is to much trouble and having personally ran 5 pubs in England, I could see what a hard worker he is 👍
Top tip if queuing for the restaurant, don’t queue, walk up the alleyway, through the door, sit down and order with Chad in seconds, no wait! However max group size would be 4.
I’ll have to say, they have a big problem with bugs….only mentioning because that MUST be fixed. We saw a little one that the bartender saw too, but towards the end of our meal the folks in the booth next to us squashed an even bigger roach than we saw.
But definitely the best burger in town!
Y’all need to shut down for a couple of days to eradicate the roach issue and y’all will be good to go because your food is amazing!!! Thank you for the perfectly cooked burger and cold beer though!
Awesome place on the strip, calzone the size of a football. Cheese was stuffed and amazing inside with pepperoni. Complimentary photo by Roman as well, which is an awesome touch. Def be back and recommend.
Aunt Bea makes the best drink in Gatlinburg hands down.
Bloody Mary 10/10
Long island 10/10
Dont tell everyone tho I don't want it to be elbows to elbows Everytime I go!
Food is phenomenal.
Service as well.
Sit at the bar. Talk with Bea. She's awesome! 35 years of making them drinks and you can tell!
Great place for large parties! Very tasty and really fast service.
The food was tasty. I liked it. I order the fettuccini Alfredo pasta which came with garlic knots and the some chicken pizza. I don't remember the name of it. But it was different and delicious.
It was awful! We used to love this place, but now it's a nightmare. The pizza crust is still good, but they've changed the sauce and everything taste like Taco Bell. The pizza is not Italian, they've added a Mexican seasoning to the toppings and it completely turned me off. I used to love this place, but I'm completely heartbroken on how it has ended up. I will not be going back.
The pizza was great, got the deluxe. My wife had the antipasto salad and she said it was good.
Pizza came out quickly and the staff was friendly
A little noisy inside with young kids acting up. But this is a family restaurant and parents just don't parent well these days.
Great place, food was fantastic! Portions were huge! Great prices but had to pay to park across the street!
Good pizza right in the heart of the Gatlinburg strip. You place your order at the counter and everything else is self-serve. You choose your own table, get your own drinks etc which I personally prefer...I never have to worry about empty drinks!
We ordered the garlic knots and a pepperoni pizza. We thought everything was really good and priced reasonably. Another table ordered calzones, and they were HUGE! We'll try one of those next time!
This was our first time with this restaurant and very unique experience in ordering food. They had vegetarian option for us. Great taste and nice hot food. I wish qty was more but taste was really good. Great restaurant and unique experience.
In all honesty, I was pretty skeptical of this place at first because of its name. When we received our food, all my concerns went out the window. Our pizzas and garlic knots were soo good. I was shocked how soft and yet crunchy the dough of our pizzas. Yeah, you have try this place before you past judgment on it. I will try something different next time because I bet all their food is just as worth tasting.
Expectations were not high giving where it is, but wow, we were surprised!! Excellent calzone! My wife had the traditional cheese variety (only two chesses), and I had the Supreme version. Both were full of fresh ingredients! The red sauce was delicious as well. We actually had enough leftover for lunch the next day!
On the busy Gatlinburg Strip street, Close to The Village. They serve really warm, Fresh, Crunchy and delicious Pizza. Freshly Backed, We loved it.
