Celebrate New York-Style Pizza With the Best in Tennessee—A Must-Try Hotspot for Pizza Lovers

Tennessee is famous for food: hot chicken, barbecue, and biscuits, to name just a few specialties. But that doesn't mean the Volunteer State hasn't been heavily influenced by other regions. Did you know, for example, that there's a fantastic New York-style pizzeria in Nashville? Step inside NY Pie and you'll feel like you've been transported to the heart of the Big Apple. Learn more about how this pizzeria combines the best of both worlds: classic New York pies and warm Tennessee hospitality.

NY Pie has three locations throughout the great Nashville area: Nashville West, Hendersonville, and Franklin. Since first opening its doors, this local business has become synonymous with quality pizza that can stand up to any classic New York or New Jersey pizzeria. The owners, who have roots in the Northeast, moved their passion for pizza to Tennessee after having learned from the best in the business.

So what makes this pizza so authentically New York? It all starts with the dough, which is made from scratch daily. The dough is then hand-tossed until its thin and even. Next up: the sauce, which is crafted from fresh tomatoes imported from Italy then topped with quality cheese from the Grande Cheese Company. The pizzas are placed in a brick oven then fired up to perfection.

It's obvious that the staff is passionate about pizza and making guests feel right at home. You'll enjoy watching the pizzas being made right before your eyes; it really is a work of art!

On the menu, you'll find about a dozen pizza varieties to choose from, ranging from the classic NY Cheese to the creative Sriracha Chicken, prepared with barbecue chicken, bacon, and mozzarella cheese on a Sriracha and ranch sauce. In addition to pizza, you can also order starters like garlic knots—which some claim to be the best in Nashville—or wings, and complete your meal with a made-from-scratch dessert. No New York-style inspired meal is complete without a helping of cannoli or New York cheesecake!

One glowing review speaks to the authenticity of this New York-style restaurant: "I grew up in NJ and always have had a hard time finding pizza even close to as good since moving away. Tried this place on a whim and was blown away. The crust is perfect. Crispy but also soft inside."
