About Jimmy's Smokehouse & Pizza Joint
Jimmy's Smokehouse & Pizza Joint has earned a loyal following among locals and visitors who can't choose between BBQ and pizza. This unique establishment excels at both, with their standout Blackberry Pig pizza featuring blackberry chipotle sauce, pulled pork, bacon, and smoked Gouda on sourdough crust.
The smokehouse offerings are equally impressive. Fall-off-the-bone ribs and wings with authentic deep smoke flavor showcase the kitchen's serious barbecue credentials. The patio provides pleasant outdoor seating during favorable weather.
Located behind Family Dollar on East Parkway in the Arts & Crafts area, the restaurant pairs perfectly with local shopping excursions. The casual atmosphere welcomes families with children.
Plan accordingly: the restaurant closes Mondays and weekend evenings draw crowds, particularly during live music events. However, the wait proves worthwhile for this distinctive sweet-savory-spicy flavor combination that stands alone in Gatlinburg's dining scene.
Amenities & Features
Don't Miss
Blackberry Pig Pizza
Their signature creation combines blackberry chipotle sauce with pulled pork, bacon, caramelized onions, and smoked Gouda on sourdough crust. It's the sweet-savory-spicy combo that put them on the map and honestly tastes like nothing else in the Smokies.
Authentic Smoked Wings
These aren't your typical fried wings - they're actually smoked, giving them a deep flavor you can't fake. The honey garlic variety hits that perfect sweet spot, and 14 wings are plenty to share.
BBQ Smokehouse Plates
The pulled pork and ribs are the real deal - tender, smoky, and falling apart. Their half-rack of ribs for $25 is our go-to when we want serious BBQ without the pizza distraction.
Outdoor Patio Dining
The covered patio is where we always try to sit when weather permits. It's got a relaxed vibe, allows smoking, and sometimes hosts live music on weekends that adds to the whole experience.
