DaVinci’s PIzza

Gave the place another chance. Service was worse on a completely different level. Don’t eat here. The owners don’t care about the customers. If you are hungry late at night eat the old city hot dog guy

Friendly staff and equally amiable locals but the pizza by the slice was terrible. Granted I only tried the pepperoni and I’m used to NY and Chicago pizza, but when you put your pizza in a warmer and it sits under a light all night, you’re better off with Pizza Hut. Id expect this kind of pizza from a gas station.

Good if you’re drunk. Slices are usually warmed by a hot light bulb. The full size pizzas are better and made hot, but falls far from Dazzos right up the street.

I’ve been in Knoxville for 19 years, and have heard about DaVinci’s, but never thought to go by.
One a time crunch last week, a colleague and I stopped in for a bite. The pizza’s ok. It’s definitely not the best in Knoxville, but it’s by no means the worst.
As far as the environment, DaVinci’s is typically empty, and their hours are spotty. I feel like if they cleaned the place up a bit more, spent a bit more in improving what they have, it’d be a better place to go.
As it stands, it’s kinda divey, and you can get better pizza in Downtown Knoxville not a 5 minute walk away.

The best part of this place is tge fact you can get a slice at 3the A.M. maybe it was the fact that it was late and busy but I was disappointed in my pizza. I love the fact you can get it by the slice here though. I need to give it another shot when it’s not so late!

Great sauce to topping ratio with good crispy hot bread crust. The hawaiian pizza is quite strange… pineapple, but tasty.

This review is for the DaVinci downtown and for a pizza being delivered so take it for what you want.
The pizza was good, but not great. It was an average pizza that was luke warm. My wife loves pizza that is not very hot, but I do not. I believe that had to do with it being delivered. I am curious to try DaVinci’s in the restaurant. We had the sausage and pepperoni pizza, which was light.
Overall, a decent pizza, but I wont be tripping over myself to get another anytime soon.

Good pizza reasonable beer prices. Plus they are open till late! But I wouldn’t call it «Jersey Style». I enjoyed slice while in the Old City. November 3

Mmmmm… it’s not that the pizza is bad or good, it’s just not really authentic NJ/​NY pizza. The crust is not thin and crispy and there’s just too much dough around the edges. I want more cheese and sauce.
This is a great late night spot near all the popular Old City bars however. So when you get the craving, chances are, they’re open.

Love this place is an awesome place to go after the club and get sober: p the prices are great! Pizza is good but only when is fresh cause i’m not really a fan when is already cooked and is just under the heat lamp, I’m a pizza fanatic so i like my stuff fresh and done at that moment so i wouldn’t mind waiting is worth it! Good pizza for Knoxville TN after hrs: p

My fiancé and I were frequenting the Old City earlier this year for some of my photo shoots and I was hungry. We didn’t want to drive any where and I wanted something inexpensive so my fiancé recommended DaVinci’s.
It is now my favorite place to eat in the Old City. If somebody asks me what I want, I say DaVinci’s. Great pizza, nice location, all around good place!

If I could give a «0 star» rating I would. There is nothing authentic about this «Jersey» pizzeria. The pieces are tiny and the individual slices are kept under a heating lamp in a little box — sorry folks… that ain’t Jersey. The toppings are average at best, and the crust isn’t particularly crisp.
This is nowhere near Jersey or NYC pizza. This particularly disturbing, considering that the proprietor claims to be from Jersey. it’s probably because he’s from the Shore — they cater more towards tourists down there anyway.
Pass on this filth DaVinci’s is peddling.
*P.S.* NO PIZZERIA KEEPS PIZZA UNDER A LAMP… unless you consider 7 – 11 a pizzeria…

For me, when I’m out during the late hours downtown, it doesn’t get much better than DaVinci’s pizza. It’s delicious, cheap, and the staff is great. I must say, the only times I have been here have been after a night of cocktails, so my review may be a little skewed. But, if you’ve spent a night running around downtown Knoxville, I highly recommend stopping in.

Best place for pizza in Knoxville. (And they have Edy’s icecream.)
The staff is awesome, the pizza is delicious, and the prices are good. On Sundays and Mondays, you can get a large cheese pizza for $ 6 (and additional toppings are $.75, I believe.)
The staff and continued quality of the pizza are what makes this place great. And they’re open super late, which is handy when you’re down there for a show or out late drinking.

I have to say I might have been a bit skeptical coming here since all the Unilocal reviews are fantastic. I walked into this place for lunch and was greeted by one of the workers. We ordered a Large Pizza with Pepperoni and Mushrooms. It was delicious. We also ordered 2 greek salads. They were simple but really great. I posted 2 pictures of our meal. I would give this place 4 and ½ stars. It was really good.
We enjoyed a large pizza, 2 greek salads, and 2 canned cokes for $ 22. That is NYC prices on pizza which was very refreshing. I am a fan of Dazzo’s as well but with prices like DaVinci’s has, it is hard to beat. They are opening another location on Sutherland Avenue right across from West High School sometime next week. I will definitely return. The pizza was really tasty and made for great leftovers, the salads were simple but fabulous, and I loved that they had canned cokes. I prefer cokes in cans or in glass bottles, not plastic bottles. You should definitely check this place out because you get the bang for your buck and its good. Atmosphere might have been lacking a bit but when the food is good it doesn’t matter to me. Hope you enjoy your pizza too!
Cheers and Enjoy!

The crust was very good, but the sauce wasn’t really NY authentic. Toppings are pretty good for the most part, but the prices make this place very good as opposed to a place like Mangia out in Turkey Creek.
UPDATED ⁸⁄₂₉ — So I picked up a $ 6 cheese pie from them last Sunday as part of a special they have every Sunday and Monday. If the quality was like the first time I tried DaVinci’s, I would leave my initial review alone. However, I think I could have honestly bought a box of Elio’s pizza from Kroger and make the same product with the exception of the shape. This will most likely be the last time I eat at DaVinci’s.

My favorite thing about this place are the guys who run it. Ever eaten in there? They’re always chatting it up with some customer or delivery guy and I swear they always include you in the conversation! It makes me feel like buds with these NJ guys!
The pizza is delicious. It’s nothing fancy, nothing unexpected, but it’s all good. The sauce is wonderful. I’ve loved everything I’ve gotten. No complaining whatsoever. Ready to try out something other than pizza, but I can’t get away from the pizza!
p. s. They never laughed when we asked them to walk around the block (as opposed to our lazy asses simply walking around the block) to drop it off at Sterchi!
I love these guys.

Tried DaVinci’s today for the first time. Like many Unilocal users, I agree that it’s one of the better pizza places in Knoxville. I really wanted to be able to give it five stars, but in my book, nobody has been able to dethrone Mangia (in Turkey Creek) for bragging rights of best thin-​crust pizza.
I will say that the place is a very authentic-​looking Jersey-​style pizza shop. It smells like pizza the minute you walk through the door. The maps and posters from New Jersey are a nice touch and they big chalkboard advertises «hoagies.» Good stuff. I’ve got to go back to try a stromboli. If you’re a Philly guy like me, you involuntarily start looking around for a cooler full of Yuengling to go with your pizza. No dice. Water and soda only.
The Sunday and Monday night special is a large cheese pizza for $ 6. Two of us ate a large Hawaiian (8 good-​sized slices) with two bottled drinks for $ 12 out the door and two slices leftover for lunch tomorrow. That’s some cheap eats. Dinner was on the table in less than 10 minutes and it was hot and delicious.
Given that they deliver to UT’s campus and the surrounding areas, I have a feeling I’ll definitely be patronizing DaVinci’s again in the near future.

This place rocks. The pizza is excellent, the staff is hilarious. I’ve been there several times for a slice or to pick up a pizza to go and I’ve never been disappointed.
My wife and I stopped ordering from Papa John’s, Pizza Hut, and Dominos when we found this place.

This is my favorite pizza in Knoxville. It is cheap and delicious. It is greasy, piled high with cheese, and amazing. My mouth is watering. Fortunately, I work about 4 doors down so I can just walk over there whenever I crave it. They have ice cream, too.
Pizza is 2.50 a slice.
