The Neapolitan pizza at Hard Knox Pizza is cooked in a wood-fired oven at 900 degrees and comes out perfectly charred and chewy. Best pizza in Knoxville without question.

Hard Knox Pizza has mastered the Detroit-style pizza. Crispy caramelized cheese edges, thick focaccia crust, and generous toppings. Completely different from regular pizza and absolutely delicious.

The pizza dough at Hard Knox Pizza is fermented for 72 hours and the difference is remarkable. Light, airy, with great flavor. The fresh mozzarella and San Marzano tomatoes seal the deal.

The white pizza with truffle oil and arugula at Hard Knox Pizza is something special. Creative toppings, quality ingredients, and a crust that is perfectly crispy on the bottom and chewy inside.

Solid pizza spot in Knoxville. Hard Knox Pizza has consistent quality, good sauce, and generous portions. The garlic knots are addictive and the delivery is always on time.

Hard Knox Pizza is the locals' pizza secret in Knoxville. No fancy marketing, just incredible pizza made by people who love what they do. The grandma-style square slice is not to be missed.
