We are from out of town and wanted to try something that we don't have at home. We found this place on TripAdvisor. The pizza was really good. We ordered 3 pizzas: the Iron Mike, the Marciano (I think), and a pepperoni. All were wonderful. We also had a couple Hard Knox salads, which were also very good. The place... More

The food and service at Hard Knox is unbeatable! I went twice on a recent vacation to TN, and it was tied for the best Pizza I ate while there.

I had heard people rave about Hard Knox. It was good, but there are better pizza choices in Knoxville. Pizza was good but the seating arrangements (stools with small tables) was uncomfortable and made me want to leave as soon as I finishd my food. Brixx Pizza is just as good and has a much better atmosphere.

This is a great pizza place! Cool design, it has a boxing theme so you sit on chairs that look like ring stools and there are tons of old boxing pictures. The menu is great. A very unique and creative selection. We got the tini meatballs in marinara, very good. We picked two pizzas and they were both fantastic! I... More

Hard Knox Pizza has one of the best pizzas I have ever had! My husband reminded me that we say that every time we come! With the sweet fennel sausage, creamy buffalo mozzarella, and a crust so good that you could eat just by itself......you are in pizza heaven! The wood-fired oven flavor just sends it over the top. This... More

we had a special of butternut squash and goat cheese pizza that was the bomb. The kids behind the counter were hustling and getting a great product out. Good beer selection.

We met some friends here for dinner recently. Everyone had something different and everyone was very happy with their selection. I must admit, I'm from Brooklyn, and have very specific ideas about what a pizza should be. It's not NYC pizza but the crust was excellent and the toppings were fresh. My DH who laments all night when he has... More

We love Hard Knox Pizza! Great, eclectic variety of menu choices! Not just any ole pizza place. Top quality ingredients...you can see the fresh mozz! At first, I though the shaved pepperoni was a little strange, but now I would not have it any other way. Only complaint is a lack of seating, ie they need a bigger place!
