Showing 4 top-rated pizza restaurants • Updated October 2026
Big Daddy's Pizzeria
Pizzas come out of the 550-degree brick oven fast here, often within 5 to 20 minutes even on packed weekends, with chewy, crisp-edged crusts made from fresh house-made dough. The wings by the pound also get steady praise. It suits families and groups who want a quick, casual meal on River Road, and weekday lunch is quieter.
Pizzeria of Gatlinburg
Guests say delivery often beats its quoted window, with calzones and pizzas reaching cabins and hotels well ahead of schedule. The New York-style pizza, garlic knots, and big portions suit families and late-night crowds coming off the trails, though some diners mention salty or uneven slices on busy nights.
Jimmy's Smokehouse & Pizza Joint
Generous portions of brisket topped with the homemade BBQ sauce draw the most praise at Jimmy's, along with pizzas loaded with smoked meats and a crust that surprises first-timers. Set on East Parkway away from the downtown crush, it suits families, groups split between BBQ and pizza, and dog owners who want a patio where staff greet pets.
Mellow Mushroom Gatlinburg
The Veggie Delite and a downstairs bar mixing daiquiris are what visitors bring up most at this colorful, art-covered pizza spot on the Parkway, near bluegrass at the moonshine distillery. It suits families and groups after a casual, quirky meal, though service can be uneven and waits run long at peak tourist times.
