Customer Reviews

Fresh Everything!! The salad bar filled me up because every single ingredient was fresh and beef stew Then the pizza came out could taste the same freshness. Our waitress was wonderful she told us even the sauce is made in house. We will be back on a Tuesday for the special! She told us about pasta night. I can't wait!! There should be a wait every night!!

Absolutely delicious! So excited we finally got to try this place. Only got photos of my pizza and our garlic knots, but also got to enjoy the salad & soup bar as well. The food was amazing, service fantastic, and we're so grateful to have an excellent pizza place! No more having to travel to Knoxville. We'll be back!

We "popped" in to Pop's Pizza in Rockwood after we enjoyed our trick or treating. I called ahead and they had it ready. We got the Smokehouse and it was amazing. Of course we have one that won't eat anything but cheese so she got her own! We also had a pineapple upside down cake. It was Halloween themed with a tombstone and shovel! Very cute not to mention delicious. Our waitress was super nice. They were dressed up as well. It was a great end to our day! We will be back.

I love the crust here... it actually tastes great, it's not just bland bread! Having worked in the industry, their head chef clearly knows what he's doing. A lot of their specialty pizzas are pretty loaded with different toppings and drizzled, which isn't necessarily my preference, but you can also build your own however you like it. Even on a simpler custom pie, they are generous with ingredients. The lunch special is an unbelievable deal! One trip to the salad bar and a cup of housemade soup, plus any specialty small pie for less than $15! Both times I've visited, I ended up bringing at least half of my pizza home for leftovers. I would eat here 2-3 days a week if I could.

Overall pizza was very good. We order the rock and meme garden wasn't not a huge fan of the garden. We called in our order and was ready within 20 minutes, we were told. The pizza are somewhat pricey compared to the little man's place near by however the quality is way better. Definitely hope this place sticks around .

Hands down the BEST pizza I have ever eaten! Salad bar and soup were fresh and tasty too! Restaurant was super clean with an inviting atmosphere. The owner was there working along side his staff and greeting guests with a big smile. His staff were upbeat, friendly and all worked so well together. I will be going back again and again and again. Side note- this is a newer restaurant in a small town- any of the "bad" reviews I've just read HAVE to be contributed to being new and slammed. Those kinks will get ironed out. Do your tastebuds a favor, and GO! Also- I purchased a watermelon and cantaloupe to go and they were delicious. (If you know how hard it is to find a good watermelon these days- it matters!)
