Meant to write a review a long time ago but Pizzeria Nora is hands down the best pizza my husband and I have found in Knoxville. The olive oil soaked into the crust and the fresh sausage are just two of my favorite things about the pizza. Not only is the pizza delicious, the owner and the rest of the staff are incredibly kind and so friendly to us and our two boys who are 6 and 1. They both love the pizza too. We always recommend this place to all of our friends and will continue to do so. Wish we could make it in more often than we do but we will definitely continue to be loyal customers. Thanks Pizzeria Nora for fantastic food and service. :)
I had the best pizza I have ever had Friday night the freshness of the ingredients are to die for the crust is crispy on the outside but like a pillow of air on the inside! Dessert was a dream creamy panna cotta with the dark cherries and pistachios the flavors were awsome!! If you are in Knoxville you must try this place and you will thank me!! Also, very casual!!!
Absolutely amazing pizza! If you love pizza you have to try Pizzeria Nora. It is not a big, fancy pizza place and is not on the beaten path, but you will love it! The owner is always so friendly as is his staff. The pizza crust is the best and the toppings are top notch. You will be spoiled...

As a self diagnosed pizza addict I must say this is easily one of the best if not the best pizza I've had. The dough/crust is absolutely incredible. House made mozzarella, the quality of ingredients are among the best I've had. Only thing I wish is that the pizza was bigger. Oh well. Just have to get two next time �
This is the best pizza I think I ever had. The crust is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I’m going every week until I get through the menu. The buttermilk Panna Cotta is to die for. Emma is a gem, and Dave is excellent. I’m addicted.
I love everything about this place! My salad was exceptional, pizza crust was perfect, my personal favorite way ex-crispy, and what a deal for $10 (a special) then hands down my favorite dessert around the buttermilk panna cotta with pistachios and an Italian cherry that is difficult to find words to describe perfect 👌and draws me back ! Service was welcoming and enjoyable ! Such a pleasure!
One of my friends told me about this place and said it was the best pizza he's had in 3 years so I wasted no time in checking it out. Wow he was right! The pizza is light and crispy and doesn't feel heavy at all. It's not greasy and the crust could be a meal on its own. This is pizza done right! The owner and all the staff were super nice. If you say you love pizza then you can't miss out on Pizzaria Nora!
This is the best pizza in Knoxville. The crust is so spot on. So lucky to have this place in the growing good food scene of the city!
The best crust in town, and possibly even the best overall pizza. The crust is absolute perfection, it is thin, crispy and flavorful.
Just had my sixth visit and have now had everything on the menu. You can't go wrong here!
This is a must if you love pizza. The pizza is delicious and I cannot say enough good things about the place. Just be sure to get there early. Not a big place and they get busy quickly. The boom box pizza was amazing. It's got in house made mozzarella and meatballs and sausage. Like I said if you like pizza go there!!
This Pizza touches me deep inside. It makes me cry into the night and scream out in the day. Sometimes I dream the Nora Special is chasing me and I think it's like the Blob, but then it catches up to me and the goat cheese drips into my mouth...and it's over.
Best pizza in town, hands down. Dave strives for quality with only the best ingredients, which makes for a pizza well worth the money. I wish there were more places like this around town!
Hands down the best pizza I've had in Knoxville. The owner and staff were more accommodating to my group than they had to be and were genuinely nice people. Folks in that area better get it while it's there because they are going to outgrow that location in a hurry. I suggest letting the pizza sit for a few minutes to allow the olive oil to really soak into the crust. We'll definitely be back soon and frequently!
The Dino's meatballs and salami are perfect together, while the Gino's generous helping of olives make for a difficult choice - we end up just getting both when we come here. Tasty crust that's just the right thickness, and delicious red sauce. Don't miss the salad or panna cotta, either. Was sad to lose the sandwich shop, but appreciate the new hours of Nora. Thanks for bringing your yummy pizza to our neighborhood!
This is absolutely hands down the most flavorful, perfect crust pizza in Knoxville. Don't be thrown by the location, just blocks away from booming Happy Hallow. Pizzeria Nora has big city cuisine baked into it. Not just a sandwich maestro... There's a worthy King of the pies on Central Ave. We won't have pizza from anywhere else.

Pizzeria Nora was suggested by new friends of ours. They said it’s the absolute best pizza around. They were SO right!! The fresh mozzarella, homemade meatballs, amazing salami, and delicious crust made for the BEST pizza we’d had since moving to Knoxville. Decided to take some of it home to leave room for their panicotta dessert - good decision!! It’s delicious!! We WILL be back!!
Today was our first time trying Pizzeria Nora and we now wish we hadn't waited so long. We ordered the Meatball special and a Salami special with a drizzle of Honey on it. Both were outstanding. The crust really does live up to the hype. All of the homemade ingredients were spectacular. We will definitely be frequenting Pizzeria Nora in the future to say the least.
Why did I wait so long to try Pizzeria Nora? I ordered a Dino. It was excellent. The crust is perfect, thin and crispy! I’m looking forward to trying the other pizzas on the menu.
Got the Dino Pizza for a date night and it was perfect for a light dinner for two people. If I was really hungry I could eat a whole 12" ($14) pizza myself! We ordered at the window and it was not a long wait. It is only take out at this time, but that's expected as many other restaurants are also doing the same.
David makes the best pizza in Knoxville. The crust is perfection and the toppings are a cut above the rest. It is great to support such a local gem. Don’t skip the tasty Panna Cotta dessert.
Absolutely love it! The Nora with mushrooms and bell peppers was tonight's order. High quality ingredients with a neighborhood vibe! I give my highest praises and recommend this place to everyone!!!
Just excellent. We had the Gino, the Nora Special, and the Caesar salad and everything was top notch. It had been a few years since I had eaten here and it's better than ever.
One thing that stuck out is that the Gino does not have that much cheese on it, and despite being a cheese fanatic, it was my favorite because the quality of the sauce and crust shine so much. It was delightful.
My personal favorite pizza in Knoxville. They do a Neapolitan pizza perfectly with the right cheese to sauce balance. My go-to is the Gino and when they’re out of those juicy olives I go with the classic Margarita pizza. Their salad is also a solid add on!
Tried Pizziera Nora for the first time last night and my life is so different now! The Gino and the Nora were amazing.
Excellent pizza - the crust is perfection. Excellent Caesar dressing - highly recommend saving some to dip your crust in. The staff are always super friendly during pick-up. My only complaint is that I wish they offered larger pizzas so I could order for a group...or just order more for me :)
