This Back Alley Pizza Joint May Just Be The Best Kept Culinary Secret In Tennessee
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!

Joey's House of Pizza is a cozy pizza eatery that serves up New York-style pizza as well as pasta and sandwiches. It's a sleeper hit located in Donelson, a suburb on the edge of Nashville.

If you scour the internet you'll find all sorts of folks lauding the restaurant for the "best slice in town". For a city known for hot chicken, that's some high praise.

Joey's was founded in 1999, and the family-owned New York pizzeria has expanded into making up delicious salads, subs, calzones and pastas.

All ingredients are fresh and the dough is made fresh (and from scratch!) every day. The homemade marinara sauce is a dream, and if you're looking for dessert you'll want to indulge in a cannoli. Yum!

Call ahead for takeout, or come and visit on your own with the family. You can also ask about their take and bake options as well.

Make sure that you take note of their hours! You can visit from 11am to 3pm Monday through Friday, at 897 Elm Hill Pike. Happy eating!
