Nino’s Pizzeria & Eatery

Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff and delicious food. I have ordered to-​go and have eaten at the restaurant. Both were equally delicious. I love their ever changing selection of desserts and that the food is made with fresh ingredients! The staff is always accommodating with any special request. They make the greatest thin crust vegetable pizza that is perfect for my Weight Watchers splurge day! If you are looking for something tasty, you need to try the Philly cheesesteak. Trust me, coming from a Philadelphia native — it is the best outside of South Philly. The prices are very reasonable and the servings plenty. I love the décor and welcoming feeling when you walk thru the door. You will leave full, satisfied and planning your next return. Don’t forget something to go for later.

Staff is great, very well timely mannered, food is amazing!!! Recommend them for lunch and or dinner! Great atmosphere & story behind their name!!!

Went to Tennessee for hiking and an escape into the mountains. The entire time we looked for a great restaurant and found Nino’s based on a Google search. Well, OH MY GOODNESS!!! We got the salad, pizza and lasagna. Each were wonderful and the lasagna was probably THE BEST I’ve ever had, and I make a mean lasagna, per everyone who knows me. The owner came out to talk to us and I told him that I’d try his lasagna but I didn’t think it would compare to mine. When we got back to the cabin and I tasted it, I had to call him back to tell him he won! Really, the food at this restaurant is wonderful! We want to come back to TN, not for the mountains but to return to NINO’s!!!

Great Eggplant Parmesan! So glad we found this great Italian restaurant so close to our house. We will be back!

If you like to wait 45 minutes for pizza, this is your place. 4 tables in the place and no apologies. The manager gave an attitude and said you have to wait when any restaurant is busy. Since when is 4 tables busy? His attitude was as unacceptable as the wait. We’ll never return. The pizza is good if you’re willing to wait 45 minutes and put up with attitude. Edit to add: We received the check and it had a discount, so the manager must have felt bad for how he treated our family. We had dessert as well. The cheesecake was ok but the cannoli was excellent.

Great place to eat. Away from the crowds. Garlic knots and cheeseburger pizza were outstanding. Don’t let the location and the small strip Mall look take you away. It is definitely worth the time.

You’ve got to try this pizza! Come on visitors– get off the strip! This is an incredible NYC style pizza. And don’t get me wrong, I love NYC pizza, but this stuff, while maybe not quite better, but definitely as good as what you can get in the Big Apple.
Ingredients are very fresh. Crust is crispy and chewy all at the same time. Awesome flavor. We like a simple pizza and got the pepperoni. We thought we got enough to take back to the hotel, but we ate the whole darn thing while we were there.
Seating is somewhat limited, so maybe call ahead if you have a big group. Service was excellent and very friendly. The waitress was very attentive and the cook came out of the kitchen a couple of times to ask how everything was.
GO HERE!

This is a small town and in it lies a small town Italian eatery called Nino’s. In a very unsuspecting place behind a kenjo gas station you find Nino’s nestled next to sevier crossfit.
I had the Greek salad and ultimate Italian sub. Both were very delicious as well as reasonably priced.
Give them a shot if you want to stray from the tourist fare in Sevier County.
Your belly will be happy and so will your wallet. Can’t wait to go back and try a pizza or calzone!

May just be the best Italian food my family has eaten outside of NYC. We had a wonderful day enjoying the area, and all felt like good Italian for dinner. Ninos did not disappoint!
We started with the garlic knots stuffed with pepperoni. VERY yummy and great price. I ordered a side salad, and it was one of the best I have ever had. They add sauteed peppers and onions… really great touch. Also, the homemade dressings were fantastic… I tried three of them with my daughter. She, by the way, ordered the chicken parmesan and did not share it was so good.
One thing I wanted to mention… the marinara was fresh made and was fantastic. May be the best I have ever had.
Our waitress was super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. She really treated us like family… and so did the owner. She recommended the stromboli for my son… he loved it!
My entire family HIGHLY recommends eating here. Our new favorite restaurant in TN… maybe anywhere.

Excellent place for fast, high quality food with fresh ingredients, my wife and I were very impressed. Having spent several years eating pizza, etc. in the boroughs of NYC, I rarely find anything elsewhere that compares. Nino’s is on par with NYC’s best, and I don’t say that lightly. I hope word of mouth allows them to thrive and grow, so please post reviews if you eat there! Their menu is a little small, but with growth in their business I’m sure their menu can grow as well. Great food, kind owners, we loved it!

The warm, savory smell of fresh baked pizza filled my nostrils as I walked in Nino’s for the first time. Recommended by a friend, I sought to try out this new pizzeria right at the edge of Sevierville towards Newport.. My first impressions were pleasant as the place was clean and homely, but empty (although it was 7:30pm on a weekday). Talking with the front lady as I browsed through the menu, I learned that the restaurant was previously Cornerstone Pizza. A family recently bought and took ownership of the business this past March 2014 and renamed it Nino’s Pizzeria and Eatery — probably why I had just heard of it. The owner, Jerry, came out and politely greeted and shared his roots and passion for Italian food.
He shared his desire to use fresh ingredients when he cooks and creates his dishes. After some recommendations, I ordered «The Cornerstone,» or a supreme pizza with pepperoni, ham, sausage, green peppers, mushrooms, onions & black olives; eggplant parmesan; and garlic knots to-​go.
The pizza was well balanced and flavorful. The vegetables are lightly seasoned and sautéed before baking, which gives them a soft (not mushy) texture. The sauce was well flavorful in seasoning and ratio, AND most importantly, it was NOT GREASY! Usually some oil is expected from the pepperonis and sausages, however, my hands and plate did not have drips of grease — which is the tendency for pizza places around the area (I highly recommend this pizza if you like a balance of vegetables, meat, and enjoy New York-​style pizzas). The garlic knots were a treat to enjoy as well. Seasoned well, it was fluffy and tasty with the marinara sauce provided (Very reasonably priced and highly recommended). The eggplant parmesan was delicious too: the eggplant was properly breaded and baked, the sauce was tasty, and the balance of cheese really made the flavors come out — instead of being totally covered in cheese that you cannot taste anything else.
–4 stars for quality and tastiness of the food. Almost 5, but it’s missing a WOW factor in my experience traveling and eating pizzas in Chicago, Nashville, San Francisco, and New York.
–5 stars for service (from talking and take out) and friendliness.
–4 stars for location and décor.
Overall, I was quite satisfied with my experience and could truly taste the fresh (not frozen) vegetables and meats. It is a nice change from the many chain restaurants and although it is small, truly enjoy the passion the owner brings in wanting to serve good, quality food. They are new, and I hope they do well and continue to develop their passion for Italian cuisine.

I’m am from Chicago, and although Tennessee is beautiful with sweet people, never could find a good pizza here. Well we finally found one! I’m a bit of a «pizza snob» and I have to say their pizza is as good as I ever tasted. The dough and ingredients were fresh and delicious. The owner although busy, took the time out to talk to me and made me feel welcome. Got a loaf of fresh made bread that was also delicious. If you are looking for some excellent pizza, and friendly people, check this place out. They also have a dining room, that is cozy and warm. Can’t say enough about Nino’s!
