The South is synonymous with great grub, and that includes pizza, so long as you know where to look. Lucky for you, we do – and it’s Nima’s Pizza & More! Sure to hit the spot, the pies aren’t just some of the best pizzas in the South. They’re some of the best in the world!
In the tiny town of Gassville, you’ll find about 2,500 residents and the “world-famous” Nima’s Pizza.
Since opening, Nima's has been featured in an array of publications as well as on the Food Network and PizzaTV.com.

And the attention is definitely warranted! Over the years, Nima’s has competed at the International Pizza Challenge numerous times, winning a distinguished title just about every time.
At the International Pizza Challenge, its pies were not only named the best in the USA, but they were ranked the second best in the world, losing by only four points to a chef from Italy.
It’s not just the judges at the International Pizza Challenge who love Nima’s pies, though.
Most customers claim the pizzeria’s hand-made, brick oven-baked pies are the best they’ve ever eaten. And that might have something to do with the fact that Nima’s uses fresh ingredients from local vendors to craft pies that run the gamut from classic to innovative.
And though, pizza is Nima’s specialty, it’s just a portion of what you’ll find on the menu.
With an array of fresh-baked pastries and cupcakes to choose from, you’ll definitely want to save room for an after-meal treat.
