    I finally was able to try and stop by Nellys. I like this place a lot even though I didn't get the full experience with trying the rest of the menu. I wanted to just try a slice of pizza and it didn't disappoint. I think as far as the Nashville area goes, nellys puts themselves as a top tier pizza joint. There isn't much competition out there for a classic any slice so Nellys by far takes the cake, they are top 3 in my opinion.

    Half cheese half pepperoni and mushroom. And a Stromboli.

    We love this place. Hands down the best pizza in the area. And this time we tried a Stromboli. Fantastic! And if that isn't enough, Nelly and her staff are always welcoming and have great customer service. And the online ordering was easy and quick. I recommend putting this place in your regular rotation when dinning out or take out.

    Double crust slice

    would definitely suggest nellys if you're looking for the taste of an authentic mom & pop pizza joint in NJ/NY. Portions are huge- really great value and tasty food. We got the last booth right before the dinner rush around 6:30. Ordered at the counter and the food was brought out piping hot a few minutes later. My favorite was the supreme slice, they are very generous with the toppings. My boyfriend's favorite was the double crust slice. The deep dish square pizza was awesome dipped in the marinara cup. Garlic knots were enormous! It was so refreshing to see a small joint like this packed with happy people. We also got 2 cannolis to go. Love this place. Staff was super friendly too!

    Pepperoni Stromboli

    Walked in and greeted right away. Asked if we had any questions. Runner was cleaning off tables. Place very clean. Bathrooms very clean and stocked, too. Got the "moma Pizza" slice, pepperoni stromboli, 1/2 garlic knots and fountain drink all for $27.43. Pizza had pepperoni, jalapeño, Hoy-honey sauce. Pizza slice was huge, hot, too heavy to pick up at first bite. We give the Pizza rating a 9.5. also got a pepperoni Stromboli, which I would give a 9.4 as well, and the garlic knots were the best I ever had which I would give a 9.9 out of 10. wish Nelly's wasn't so far from Nashville. Will definitely make the drive again. It was well worth it. Food

    I went there today to get the chicken Parm. The food was not very hot and served on a Styrofoam plate. Not a very good experience.

    My husband and I decided to go out for pizza this past Sunday, and when we think of pizza, we…read morealways think of Frankie's Pizza & Grill. We have been here several times over the years, and it is great every time. We shared an appetizer of parmesan truffle fries and a 14-inch "Spring Hill Pizza," which had mozzarella, prosciutto, fresh tomato, arugula, olive oil, and parmesan. We were also offered fresh bread and an olive oil and balsamic mixture when we asked for it. The truffle fries were amazing. We ate through them so quickly. The pizza was good as well, but it felt like something was missing to really bring the flavors together. We ended up putting hot honey on the leftovers at home, and it was perfect. I always love how cozy it is dining at this restaurant, especially when it is not too busy. The smaller size can feel a bit overwhelming when it is packed, but we lucked out with the timing of this visit.

    Wonderful local Italian restaurant. I've had their regular pizza and now they're gluten free. The…read moreregular pizzas are quite special - can't go wrong here but the mushroom pizza was fantastic! Today I tried the Gluten Free (not the cauliflower) pizza and it was pretty good as far as GF goes. Crispy/crunchy bottom and crust and very fresh ingredients. It's a pretty small pizza (10") for the price ~$25 before tax once I added toppings but very delicious!

Coming from New York it wasn't quite like home, but it was pretty good nonetheless. I thought it was interesting how the price on the order online was more than when I ordered over the phone. Be sure to order over the phone! The service was super friendly and quick. I would like to try their thin crust next! When I bopped inside for pickup it was packed. Great vibes with a family

    This place has gone downhill! Used to have the best lunch combos for the best prices. I would…read morealways suggest to my friends that we go here, not anymore! The portion sizes and quality of food is poor, in comparison to what it used to be. I don't know if it's different management, or if they're using the excuse some other places do about inflation. Inflation, bah humbug! So, charge me extra. Just don't decrease the quality of your food and minimize the portion sizes!! I'ld rather go to high-end places that charge a small fortune, because they don't let the economy alter the quality of their establishments. No matter what, they continue to demonstrate they care about customer satisfaction. Get it together Boombozz! I've had lots of Cuban sandwiches, and yours was not good compared to the other ones I've had. The Ceasar salad was yucky also, in comparison to others. The dressing was crappy tasting, and it had Parmesan out of a can (not fresh grated like most restaurants serve with Ceasar salads.) I may give you one more chance, but if you disappoint me again, I will not come back. Too many other places to choose from, so I won't settle on a place that is not up to (past) standards.
