This place nails everything that matters. The pizza is consistently excellent--fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked crust, and flavors that feel both thoughtful and comforting. What really sets it apart, though, is the service. The staff is genuinely down to earth, welcoming, and attentive without ever feeling forced or scripted. You can tell they care about both the food and the people they're serving. It's the kind of spot where you feel comfortable lingering, knowing you're going to leave happy and well-fed. Easily a go-to pizza place and one I'd recommend without hesitation. A special shout-out to the General Manager(Marcus), who is truly awesome. Their leadership shows in every detail--from the smooth operation to the positive energy of the staff. It's clear they set the tone for both great service and a great work environment, and it makes a real difference in the overall experience. read more

Everything was terrific! Food, service, wait staff, cleanliness & experience! I fully recommend to come here.

Arguably the best Cesar Salad in Nashville. It's huge, crisp, fresh and has the perfect amount of dressing. Their pizza is phenomenal. Amazing use of different sauces and so many cheeses. Truly options for everyone. It feels like biting into a warm focaccia. Not only is the food good but the location is perfect. The lighting is stunning rain or shine and the shop is walkable from some of east nashville's best spots. read more

I've been dying to try Emmy Squared in multiple cities and finally got a chance while in Nashville! My group was definitely skeptical that I wanted to stop here as our first stop of the trip but completely understood after trying the pizza! We're all big fans now! Loved the sausage and ricotta pizza and the mozzarella sticks were excellent too! Service was super friendly and the restaurant wasn't too busy and was very clean! read more

Date of visit: March 16, 2025 Definitely one of the more odd dining experiences I've had, in Nashville or anywhere, really. We walked in at about 7 p.m. on a Monday and Brandy D was standing near the host stand and gave us an odd look and a very cautious, "Hello..." in a way that had me worried that we came in after they closed and I immediately turned around to verify that they were in fact open until 9 p.m. She was doing something else and so we asked if we could get a table. She then became annoyed and said that she told us she would be right with us. Actually, she hadn't, but sure. She then took us to a table and her attitude got marginally better, but she's not winning any awards for service any time soon. The pizza was pretty good, we built our own with sausage and pepperoni, and enjoyed it though it was a bit expensive for the size. On the other hand, the mozzarella sticks were mediocre, reminding me of the ones you get in the freezer section at your local grocery store. And at $3/stick, definitely a horrible value. read more

I've been here twice and am not usually a fan of Detroit style pizza but was pleasantly surprised. The pizzas look small but are super thick and filling while maintaining a nice sauce to cheese to crust ratio. The brownies are also great - nice and chewy! read more

Amazing pizza! I've never liked thick crust, but after eating here, I might never go back to thin crust! They know what they are doing! They have a few different sauce options and tons of fun topping combinations. The parking might be a bit tricky on a busy day, but there's tons of lots in the area if needed. The gluten free crust is also super good! read more

Stopped over here for a late lunch during Tomato Arts Fest. It was fairly busy, so it took a few minutes for them to catch up before seating us. We had a group of 7 but they were able to get us a table to accommodate. I split the watermelon, burrata and basil salad (on summer special) and the hamburger (on a pretzel bun?! My friends got the colony pizza (their go-to) and the brussel sprouts salad which was also great. read more

Food was pretty good overall. Some pizzas were better than others. The Zia fries were a bit overwhelming. The Miranda was dry with no sauce but the MVP was better. Service was okay, we couldn't ask to customize much since our server mentioned that the kitchen spoke a different language. Ambiance was cute inside and there was some parking on the side, but there's also street parking. 7/10 read more

I tried them today and LOVED the pizza! I always thought Detroit Style was tasty but don't like the fact that their chain competitor (Jet's) uses non-organic wheat and nasty seed oils in their crust. They use organic flour in their crust and the pizza was both tasty and high quality. I ordered the simple detroit style cheese with extra sauce. The pizza took a while to cook, but arrived perfect. The restaurant was pretty empty, but hey, maybe their ovens take a while. Pizza was decently sized for the $17 price and I had to take home leftovers even after working out hard before stopping by. Waitress (younger gal college aged) was decently good. Brought me everything I needed and was friendly. read more

Excellent Detroit pizza that wasn't overwhelming while maintaining a quality doughy bite. One regular sized Good Paulie was more than enough for two women to share. Very cute location in East Nashville with enough parking to be reasonable, both paid and street parking. Wish we could've tried more pizzas. Server was nice and the restaurant was clean and well decorated with dinosaurs. read more

This place was super good! Pizza was flavorful and cooked really well! Great place to have in the area!

What a fun pizza spot! Detroit-style crust is my absolute favorite, and I was looking forward to checking out Emmy Squared after driving by several times and admiring their unique logo. I ordered dinner for takeout on a Friday evening. Pick-up was easy once I found a place to park. This is a very busy area of East Nashville, especially on a Friday night. I recommend parking back behind The Treehouse if you can't find any spots in the lot outside the restaurant. The interior of the restaurant is cool - dimly lit with a modern, upscale vibe. My food wasn't quite ready when I arrived - but I don't mind waiting a few minutes when it's fresh out of the oven. The staff was friendly, and I appreciate that they have a designated seating area for to-go orders. I couldn't resist their delicious sounding Brussels Sprouts salad, and I can confirm that it's a great way to kick off your meal. For pizzas, I went with the Colony and the Big Ang, both of which were tasty. Emmy Squared definitely knows how to rock a crispy crust. I will say that the prices are a bit expensive per pizza for smaller size pies ... but sometimes that's just part of living in Nashville. Either way - it's great to have an awesome pizza spot so close by! I'll definitely keep Emmy Squared in mind the next time I'm craving Detroit-style pizza. read more

Like a few other reviews, this one is a mixed bag. The pizza is really good. The quality of the ingredients and overall taste is excellent. It is a particular style of pizza - square slices, thicker crust, crispy edges. Not for everyone, but one of the better pizzas in Nashville. Ordered online. Appreciated we could order direct from them (not go through a third party), settle the check as a guest, meaning, only giving the information needed, and didn't feel overburdened or was being mined for marketing data. Got there well before the quoted pick up time, and the staff was great, friendly, felt like they were genuinely empathetic about the pizza not being ready when I walked in. Still the pizza was ready to go 15 minutes before the quoted time. So overall speed and service A+. This would be 5 stars, except for value. While, I'm more than willing to pay a tidy premium for excellent food, and great service, a $26++ price tag for six 3x3 slices is a bit a pricy. The pizza is personal pizza size, or about the size of a NY style slice, only a rectangle. Extrapolate and do the math, their pizza costs a little over $60 per square foot. 5 times more per square foot than marble tile for the bathroom. And I wouldn't pay that for marble either- and the enjoyment lasts longer. Do I like the pizza? Yes. Is there value in their unique pizza, ingredients, taste, friendly service? Yes. Are they riding the Nashville wave of ridiculous pricing? Yes. Can I justify the expense? Probably not. read more

This is the best gluten-free pizza I've ever had! It's a little pricey, but worth every penny for Detroit-style, fluffy, crispy, gluten-free goodness. It hits the spot every time. And adding ricotta cheese and Calabrian chili is the pro move for the most amazing flavor. I will keep sharing because it's just that good! read more

Fast service!! Excellent pizza. The small is smaller than expected, 8 2x2 inch slices. But delicious!!! The Caesar salad, OMG!! Excellent. Even had pieces of anchovies in it. Highly recommend (shareable app for two). The Pinot noir was delicious. read more

I come here for the amazing Caesar salad and eat scrape the bowl EVERY time and I always share a pizza with a friend. The Atmosphere is lovely, being able to see out of the long windows to the beautiful East Nashville. Service is okay.. they're never overly friendly or welcoming & as a native I honestly can't stand it but the salad always keeps me coming back. (: read more

I've taken a few visitors to Emmy Squared and have had mostly great experiences here. The loaded fries are crazy and so delicious, that cheese sauce is to die for! The thick, fluffy crust on the Detroit style pizza never misses, and my gluten free friends were very happy to have gf options as well. I have a gripe with their only pesto being parsley based rather than basil, I personally hate the parsley pesto and wish they would change it! Additionally, the only time I ordered takeout from here our pie was brought out very late and very cold, but anytime I've dined in person we had a nice hot meal. I'd overall recommend to anyone looking for a casual date night, or a place to bring visitors for a late night meal read more

The food was fine but nothing special. If you want pizza in the area just go to the five points a block away it's 100x better. We arrived around 5:30 and had to wait over an hour for our food with little check ups from our server and no drink refills. Additionally we asked for hot honey on the side and it came on the pizza. We won't be returning. read more

The inside of this location in Nashville seemed very nice. There was a bar and plenty of seating. I walked in and placed a to-go order. The wait was about 25 min. The pizza had some weight to it and was cut into 6 squares, which was more than enough for 1 person. I found the pizza crust to be thick and flavorful. The mushrooms, onions, and sauce melded well together and proved to be robust. Even though this pizza was not the healthiest and probably was a ton of calories, this was a good solid Detroit style pizza that I would buy again. read more

I will never eat at this place ever again after the staff refused to seat our party. There was just a couple of tables (maybe 3 total) in the restaurant at the time we walked in at 8:45pm. Restaurant closes at 11pm. We had a party of 8 and they refused to sit us. We offered to wait. We offered to split up and they outright refused our service. Wouldn't tell us there was a wait just told us they were not going to seat us. I've never heard of anyone doing this in my life. If I could leave 0 stars I would. read more

Took my GF here for her birthday with some family. She had been craving some "thick and cheesy" pizza, so we decided upon this place. Pizza was good, but definitely not worth what they charge. And honestly: for Detroit style, it wasn't any better than getting something from Jets. read more

Friends and I came here for the first time from a recommendation from another friend. We were greeted by Phillip who was awesome! The pizza is Chicago style and one pizza is enough. It looks small but filled us up. Another good dish was the wedge salad with fried chicken. Will definitely go back! read more

Another great meal at Emmy squared. Couldn't believe I hadn't reviewed this cute spot yet after we've eaten here so many times! Went for a birthday lunch for one of my coworkers. I love that they let you do half half for custom pizzas. To start we got the cheesy bread with yummy pesto, wings and mozzarella sticks. All were delicious. For entrees, we ordered the Angel, MVP, Ang, 1 custom pizza (half pepperoni, half caprese) and 1 burger. Only thing I wish they had better parking options ($14 for an hour of parking is a bit high) read more

I love Emmy Squared pizza- just not from the East Nashville location. I've frequented the Green Hills location without issue over the last few years. I had an evening get-together in East Nashville and with a 55-minute drive from Forest Hills to East at 4 pm it made sense to order from the East Nashville location. First, there was no available parking or street parking after driving around for 10 minutes. I had to park at the "Pay to Park" lot on 10th and Woodland for $12 dollars. Fine. I go into Emmy Squared to place my order and was told 10-15 minutes. After 20 minutes the manager came to me to apologize they burned one of the 2 pizzas and were remaking it. Great, thank you. After a 30 minute to go order- I rushed to my gathering, only to open the pizza to see it was still burned. The guests were polite and ate what they could but I was horrified. I spent, with tip, $86 dollars for 1 large Margarita pizza, 1 small Vodka pizza, and 2 sharable salads- plus $12 for parking. Not worth the almost $100 meal! Do better East!!! I won't be returning to your location, or referring anyone to your establishment. read more

Service was terrible. Our waitress Brandy was incredibly rude and made it very apparent how annoyed she was we were there. After informing us that we should have called ahead (we did)- She proceeded to tell us how tired she was (we are all ER nurses, we're tired too). As she brought out our food she told us she forgot to place one of the pizza orders... when she finally brought it out it was the wrong order- and then just stood there and say "oh." No apology or offering to get the correct order. She didn't check on us once and then proceeded to clear the table and told us to "hurry up." We were there for an hour and out by 9pm. Shockingly rude and wouldn't ever go back to this location. read more

I was so excited to try this gluten free Detroit-style pizza and the Caesar salad. I called to confirm what sprizolina is -- their breadcrumbs -- so that I could omit it from my salad order. I got everything delivered with Postmates but sadly the salad came with breadcrumbs anyways and the dough of my pizza was raw in the middle. read more

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant because I like the pizza, but it just seems so pricy for what you get. I haven't been able to venture into their cocktails yet because the one I wanted to try when I wasn't available (was told they were out of the ingredients). I do like that you seat yourself and can get your own to-go items and refill your water whenever you need it. The staff was friendly and helpful when I was there and the pizza came out quick so that was good! But nothing screams special about it which is why this review and rating was so tough to do. read more

Not your typical pizza place! The dining room is tastefully decorated with an intimate vibe for dinner service with candles on the table and dim lighting. We ordered a pizza to share and drinks. The wine pours were light and made me wish I ordered a cocktail or beer. They got my dates drink wrong but once the right one arrived he enjoyed it. The service was slow but it made us feel relaxed to sit and enjoy the ambiance. The pizza was exceptional and very filling. We shared one pizza and took home leftovers. I will definitely be back to try more options! read more

The waitress was absolutely rude and not in the mood for customers. Period. All items on the menu are completely overpriced, without the staff and decorum to back it up. Will not ever step foot into this restaurant again. So many other pizza joints with better quality food and staff, with much better $$. Mainly, the waitress killed the entire vibe of the restaurants experience. If a restaurant wants to be top knotch, treat yout patrons with respect. Alternative: Five Points Pizza. Great taste, Better value. East Nashville has no room for staff with bad attitudes and high prices. read more
