Depending on where you look, Tennessee is growing at an incredibly rapid pace, and with that comes lots of big and shiny new buildings, restaurants, and ways of doing things. But there’s plenty of folks who just want to go back to the good ol’ days when you could go into your favorite local family-owned pizza spot, be treated like family, and just enjoy a no-frills pizza pie. We hear ya, folks, and we’ve got just the list for you. These Tennessee pizza spots are sure to satisfy your need for nostalgia and the greatest food on Earth.
Big Ed's is exactly what you want with an old-school pizza parlor. The pizza is amazing, and they treat you like family. They've been serving up pies at this spot since 1970, and they don't plan on slowing down any time soon. (101 Broadway Avenue)
Pizza Palace in Knoxville looks almost exactly as it did when it opened in 1961. The nostalgia it induces has even been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives! (3132 E Magnolia Ave)
For those who haven't been to Watertown, you're missing out, but those who haven't been to Nona Lisa are missing out on even more. It's the perfect small-town pizza place with good pies and great service. (208 E Main St)
Small town Mountain City might just have the best pizza in the tri-state area, and you can tell Virginia and North Carolina we said so. There's just something about a good old-fashioned pepperoni pizza, and these guys have perfected it. (310 W Main St)
This spot in Memphis is actually the oldest restaurant in town (serving since the 1920's), and boy do they have history. Their barbecue pizza is supposedly Elvis's favorite dish, but you'll have to try it for yourself to see. (2850 Appling Rd)
Back to back nods to Memphis here, and Broadway absolutely deserves it. The restaurant may not look like it, but they have some of the best pies in the state, and they've been serving them up since 1977. (2581 Broad Ave)
This is another restaurant that might not look like much from the outside, but boy does it live up to the hype when it comes to delivering great pizza. They've been going strong since 1974, and you know they're doing something right if they've been around for that long. (6901 Lee Highway, Suite 124)
If you’re more of a seafood person but feel let down in or landlocked state, you’ll have to make the trip to Clarksville for this incredible seafood spot.
