Davinci’s Pizzeria & Calzones

GREAT spot for Late Night Pizza! Out with a friend, although the drunks come in & out! But our pizza is amazing

Do not listen to any positive reviews for this location. I have not been to the other one but the Sutherland location is terrible. You’re better off buying the cheapest frozen pizza you can find and then backing over it with your car. It’s a better deal and definitely tastes better.

I have had awful pizza’s from this location in particular.
You really should check the one out downtown before ever going to this one. The one downtown is really good.

WOW, this place is my go to pizza! Truly friendly staff. They even remember my order and name when I order on the phone. Fast service but most importantly the best pizza. As a pizza fanatic, I can say that I have tested out a lot of pizza places in the Knox area. Nothing outbeats Davinci’s. It’s not your genuine New York style pizza but it’s still de-​rish-​us! I think I eat here once a week, it’s that fridgin good!

I’ve been wanting to try DaVinci’s in the Old City for years now, but I work nights and the place doesn’t open until 5pm. So, when I was driving down Sutherland looking for some mid-​afternoon dinner, I knew I had to try it.
No waitstaff, which is definitely a plus in my book. Friendly cashier. The pizza making show is on display for everyone to see. I was by myself, so I got a small pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms, and onions. Total came to $ 8.50 without a drink, and was certainly enough to share.
The crust was crispy, the sauce was tangy, the cheese was stringy and melty. It’s pretty hard to screw up pizza. DaVinci’s certainly doesn’t. I think the crust was my favorite part. Definitely home made. Canned tomato sauce is used in the sauce, which I don’t mind, but some people might.
The whole experience took about 35 – 40 minutes from order to boxing up my leftovers. It’s not fast food, but definitely good food.
The décor is simply: canned sauce hanging around and bare tables with one table near the door for red pepper and Parmesan loading. And decorative shoes on the ledges about the booths. Can’t explain that one.
Also, it is right across the street from West High School, so from 3:30−5ish, I’d say avoid. No place to sit with high school kids taking up most booths and their stuff taking up the rest of the seats.

The lasagna is just about the best thing I’ve ever eaten.
I reviewed the Old City location a long time ago, but I’ve gone to the Sutherland location 2x since it’s opened up, and it’s just as good. There are some familiar faces at the Sutherland location and some new ones at the Old City one.
I just love Davinci’s because it doesn’t take long to feel like a regular. The food is delicious and you can hold on a conversation with the staff. The guys are a surly crew, but they’re hilarious and make the best pizza in town. The delivery is fast, and the driver is always super appreciative of any tip.
Try the new location! You’ll be hooked.
