Big Tony's Pizzeria - Cookeville

Just down the street from Tennessee Tech is a small family owned pizzeria worth a shot. Atmosphere is a lil meek but the pizza was top notch. I had the garlic knots and a 10” pie. The knots were slightly overdone and didn’t have a distinctive flavor. But the pizza crust was the perfect hand-tossed thickness with a crispness to it with nice soft center. Perfect portion of ingredients without them being loose and falling off. Def going to be back for more pizza. Calzones looked amazing as well…..till next time!!

Walked in and right away had a feeling they were the real thing with the band posters on the wall. Counter woman was super friendly, and I was greeted by Big Tony like we were old friends. Ok A+ on service but how was the pie? Yeah! Big, huge normal size large like you’d expect and just the right amount of grease dripping off! Fold it over and forget-about-it. Yay, good pizza DOES exist in Tennessee. I give them a solid 8 out of 10. You won’t be disappointed Keep up the good work.

Fantastic food, great staff! Best cauliflower pizza I've ever had, husband and kids loved their pepperoni and meatball pie. Cannoli was perfect! Will definitely go into heavy rotation for takeout nights!

Best pizza I’ve had in Tennessee. As a person from the east coast, I find myself constantly being disappointed in pizza that isn’t from philly, New York or Jersey. These guys got it right. My daughter loved it, my whole family loved it. I will be back for sure!

I was in town and I googled NY Pizza near me and this place came up and I'm not disappointed. I ordered a large half cheese pizza and half pepperoni and it was delicious. Update. I went to Cookeville again today and ordered and it was delicious. Update: ordered again and the pizza was delicious as usual.
