You can get delicious pizza pies in locations all over Kentucky, but if you want a truly authentic Naples-style pizza, there’s only one place in the state to go. This pizzeria’s pizza Napoletana is actually certified by an official organization in Naples!
Smashing Tomato serves the most authentic pizza in Kentucky, and if you love wood-fired pizza, you'll love this place.
There are two Smashing Tomato locations; 2200 War Admiral Way, Lexington, KY 40509 (shown here) and 3801 Mall Rd., Lexington, KY 40503.
Step inside and bask in the aromas of delicious pizza; your mouth will start watering immediately. The warm and cozy atmosphere of the dining room is the perfect place for a gathering of pizza-loving friends and family.
Smashing Tomato is the only pizzeria in the state that's certified by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana in Naples, Italy. This organization ensures that Neapolitan pizza is always made to its exacting standards.
The result? Incredibly authentic pizza that tastes like it came from a pizzeria in Naples. The little heat blisters on the crust give it that amazing wood-fired flavor that you love.
These pizzas are truly different than those at other pizzerias. The fresh mozzarella and quick baking time make them much softer, and folks often prefer to eat them with a fork and knife.
Choose from 11 specialty pizzas, or create your own. You'll always find fresh, top-notch ingredients and the highest quality meats on these pizzas. In fact, Smashing Tomato has also been recognized for its particularly delicious prosciutto.
Stop by Smashing Tomato for lunch or dinner. It's open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and stays open until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.
