Our search for an authentic TASTING New York pizza continues. We moved here from north Jersey ~8 years ago and still have not found a 100% authentic TASTING New York pizza. We ordered their NEAPOLITAN pizza because a good NY pizza does not need any toppings to taste good. There are theories that what makes a good NY pizza is the type of mozzarella cheese in the NY/NJ area, the oil used, and the water from the reservoirs in the Catskills in the dough?? At 18" their pizza is a true NY LARGE pizza. The crust is excellent, baked just right, and foldable. There is just the right combination of sauce, cheese, and oil. The taste though is a bit bland. It's close but missing something. So our quest continues. Next time we will try one of their meals.We ate there on a Sunday at ~5:30PM. We were seated immediately and waited on promptly. The pizza was at our table ~15 minutes after we ordered. Service was excellent.

A group of us only get to work with each other two Friday nights a month. Where do we eat? Here. We look so forward to these work nights because we know we get the best pizza in town.
We are a sit down Pizza buffet, salad bar, soup, pasta, dessert pizza We do not serve alcohol
- The crust on the pizzas, both types, were not at all enjoyable. For me, they were inedible. The thin was brittle and crackery. The "hand tossed" was bready and airy like they're using instant yeast but still activating it... never mind, it was lousy. The toppings were adequate but the sauce was watery, even the meat sauce for the spaghetti was watery, like a meat marinara. The sauces were not seasoned enough and generally of poor quality.There was some potato soup that may have been the worst thing I've ever been served in a restaurant. Like someone saw a picture of potato soup but had no idea how to make it.- The chili was pretty good. The salad bar was fine.- The place was clean and the staff was friendly but $12.00 for a pizza lunch buffet and soft drink? They weren't that friendly.Basically, this is the most expensive pizza buffet in town. It is also the worst.
We order for papa johns a few time every month. The food is really good but a little more then a few other local places, however the food is also a little better too. Drivers have always been nice the only issue I have with Papa John is the parking at this location. Down hill and around to the back of the building just to turn around and get out to what can be a busy street. I solve that by always getting delivery though.
I very rarely get chain pizza. We had been out int he mountains all day on Memorial Day and were starving. Everything was closed at 10:40 pm. We drove by here and even though the staff was cleaning and getting ready to go, they still served us with a smile. I took it to go but the service and staff were very nice and went out of their way to get us some food and even gave us a big discount. This right here is the real deal customer service!I am so big on customer service and too see how polite and generous the staff was here was a true delight.The pizza was hot and fresh and super cheesy and I don't like a lot of sauce so it was perfect for us and the cheese sticks were actually seasoned and had cheese (this is not too often anymore, usually they skimp on cheese).I will go back here strictly because they treated us so well.
Where to eat American food in Alcoa: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Once again, our friends Norm and Linda told us about a new restaurant in the area. The difference this time was that theyâd just heard about it but hadnât eaten there yet. Soâ¦the following day our goal for dinner was this new âundiscoveredâ and âuntriedâ dining opportunity. Off we went!Amici, a new Italian Restaurant on East Broadway Avenue in the Five Point Community in the eastern portion of Maryville Tennessee. We were told that theyâd only been open about 3 months now. We would have expected a restaurant like this to be located closer to the downtown area. As their website states, âAMICI PIZZA + PASTA + BEER!â âFood has consistently been a contributing factor to creating friendships. Our food reflect this theme: simple with a focus on quality ingredients that can create lasting impressions. We also like beerâ¦â It was time for us to test Amici's claims!For us the interior of Amici is elegantly sparseâ¦minimalist with class. Seating runs the gamut from side by side tables along the walls, tables for 4 freestanding, seating at the bar and a large communal table with stools as well. I personally donât like side by side tables as any conversations are âsharedâ with adjoining tablesâ¦itâs all about a lack of privacy. However different strokes for different folks. The big 'communal table' was quite busy by the time we leftâ¦and patrons were still coming in. Happy hour is from 5 PM to 6 PM with a dollar off any beer served in this window. Love the names for some of these craft beers! âCountry Boy Shotgun Weddingâ, âFoothills Sexual Chocolateâ and âWicked Weed Napolean Complexâ were among my favorite names. We like beer and the beer menu had plenty of variety so we started our culinary adventure with a couple of brews. Laurie had the âDogfish Head Flesh and Bloodâ, an IPA from Milton Delaware, and I had the âFounders Solid Goldâ, a lager from Grand Rapids Michigan. Both enjoyable brews were $6.00 less the dollar off for happy hour.I ordered a Caesar Salad to go with my entrée. ($7.00) Laurie didnât want to order a salad because she wanted to be able to finish and enjoy her entrée but she did want to try my salad. Our well informed, helpful and pleasant waiter John, readily provided a plate so we could share. We both really liked Amiciâs version of this classic salad. We love thin crust pizza! We decided that Iâd order one as my entrée and Laurie would venture elsewhere on the menu. If Iâd ordered one of the 5 âhouse specialtyâ pizzas, (ranging in cost from $14.00 - $17.00), we could have gotten $2.00 off during happy hour. However I decided to âbuildâ a custom pizza. The base price is $12.00 with $1.00, $2.00 or $3.00 for different added toppings. For my pizza, I chose the Pomodoro base with cheese and added Calabrian Chiliâs ($1.00), Pepperoni and Italian Sausage ($2.00 each)Given our geographical history we loved the extra thin Midwest style crust and the excellent Italian sausage! Laurie really liked the fact that it was cut in squares or rectangles...which is what she was used to in St. Louis Missouri. This was a top notch pizza although I must admit that the Pomodoro tomato sauce was a little sweet for me. Amiciâs owner/chef, Chris Thompson, stopped by our table to get some feedback and he told me that I would probably prefer the olive oil and garlic baseâ¦a helpful hint for our next visit.Laurie ordered the Smoked Chicken Alfredo. ($16.00) This entrée came with penne pasta, caramelized Cipollini onions, Pecorino and Taleggio cream and Brocolini. The sauce was not at all heavy and Laurie really enjoyed Amiciâs version of chicken Alfredo! One big plus is that Amiciâs makes their own pasta. (Laurie witnessed one of the chefs assistant making it!) The pasta menu is small with only 5 choices. This definitely helps to ensure consistency and quality for every freshly made serving.We were going to skip dessert but our waiter told us about their homemade gelato. Laurie decided to go with the cherry gelato, server John's favorite, and I went for the coffee gelato. ($6.00 each) My choice was very good indeed and Laurieâs fell into the excellent category! We chatted with the owner/chef (Chris Thompson) for a bit and learned that this was his first restaurant venture on his own but that heâd been in the restaurant business for 20 yearsâ¦since he was 15. His last stop in the area was at the upscale and excellent Foothills Milling Company in Maryville. As a matter of fact, Amici occupies the building that formerly served as the Foothills Milling Company Bakery! Heâd spent a number of years working at various restaurants in the Chicago area⦠I have several food dislikes but he assured me that since everything is made from scratch, he could modify his pasta entrees to match my wishes. We will return to Amici soon!
From the sauces to the toppings......hard to believe one can create a build your own pizza for less than $9.00. That means exactly as I say. Build your own.....unlimited toppings. The ingredients are fresh, and the staff is friendly, and accommodating. Management seems to always be on site. Military discount applies. Will be back!!!!!!

I am years late in writing this review, but just recently I was reminded of my one and only experience with Metro Pizza. And it was a fantastic experience. Long story short, we ended up having our son's rehearsal dinner (I know, not very traditional, but we are not traditional people) at Metro Pizza. We were taking a risk, as we had never been there. They took the best care of our family and our needs and made the evening special. Not only that, but the pizza was fantastic. You have a hidden local gem there. Thank you for your great customer service. I had to say that I I visited in June of 2017, but in reality it was June 2015.

A few minutes after being seated, another group was seated near us. Their server was on the ball. They were greeted, had ordered drinks, and were given menus. Our server âStormâ must have been more concerned over her facial piercings and green hair because it took her a bit longer to do that for us. In general, to say she lacked energy/enthusiasm would be kind at best. Eventually we did order. One of our parties meal was ready before our pizzas and was placed under a heat lamp; no concern for the coleslaw though. After it sat their for several minutes, w no regard for it from âStormâ mind you, we expressed to her that it been sitting there. Once again, not a lot to offer form her. The manger got involved and actually attempted to defend his serverâs lack of attention. No need to go in. The food itself was actually pretty good, but the service was appalling.
