Top 8 Pizza Places in the Smokies

Wood-fired, Neapolitan-style pizza and pasta made from scratch daily, in a brick-walled room near the courthouse in downtown Sevierville. Pies are 12 inches with six slices, so plan on roughly one per adult. The Margherita is the benchmark, the Diavolo brings Calabrian chili heat, and the stuffed portobello mushrooms are worth ordering for the table.

Handcrafted dough and homemade sauces baked in a 550-degree wood-fired oven, with no freezer on site. The Pigeon Forge location has an arcade connected to the dining room, which keeps kids busy while the pies bake. Beyond pizza there are wings, Italian sandwiches, salads and cannoli, and online ordering makes it an easy cabin pickup.

Pizza served the way a Brazilian steakhouse serves meat. Instead of ordering pies, you settle in for a rodizio-style meal: soup, salad and meatballs, then servers keep bringing rotating slices to the table, finishing with dessert pizzas like Nutella and strawberry. It is a fun, noisy fit for a big group, and there is a full bar with Brazilian drinks.

A Gatlinburg pizzeria since 1976, known above all for its garlic rolls. The menu is New York-style pizza, calzones and Italian standards like chicken marsala and linguine with clam sauce. This page covers the express location on the Parkway; the original is in Elks Plaza at 968 Parkway, so there are two downtown options if one is packed.

The Southern pizza chain's Gatlinburg location sits across from the Convention Center, with a patio, 29 draft beers and cocktails. It is one of the easiest pizza stops for a mixed group: many pizzas come in gluten-free and vegan versions, and there is a private room plus catering for larger gatherings.

Barbecue and pizza under one roof on East Parkway. The crust is a slow-fermented sourdough with a light, airy texture, and the smokehouse meats end up on the pies: the Blackberry Pig pairs pulled pork with blackberry chipotle sauce. Brisket, pulled pork and chicken platters cover anyone who would rather skip the pizza.

A family-run New York-style pizza shop on Veterans Boulevard, a few minutes from Dollywood. It is named for Wy Oakley, the "Roamin' Man of the Smokies" and an early guide in the national park. Pies come in 12, 14 and 16 inches, with garlic knots, calzones and wings on the side.

Family-owned New York-style pizza with big, foldable slices, away from the Gatlinburg crowds. The menu adds subs, stromboli, calzones, wings and cannoli, and the Caesar salad has its own following. It offers local delivery and curbside pickup, which makes it a practical cabin-night option on the Sevierville side.
