When you think of great pizza in the United States, you most likely think of cities like New York and Chicago, or perhaps that homey pizza joint from your hometown that served up garlic knots to die for. Pizza is an emotional experience to some, a food that heralds game day to others. Here in Nashville, we’re in love with the menu and staff at Joey’s House of Pizza on Elm Hill Pike. If you haven’t been, you’re in for a treat!
