Tomato pie
John B.

This place claims to offer the real deal of New Haven-style pizza, a distinctive merging of Italian and American stylings that periodically pops up outside of Connecticut. While their online menu had slices on order, they told me that was only for lunch, so I just went ahead and ordered a whole pizza. It came with lemon slices, and when I asked whether this was typical of New Haven (which I know it is not because I've been there), I got the answer that it was just their chef's genuine innovation. I have nothing against it. Their sauce has a slight astringent flavor, and while I thought the crust could stand to be a bit more charred (sorry to all the locals who can't stand this), I liked the contrasting lemon note. I ordered a tomato pie, which does come with a light dusting of pecorino cheese but definitely puts the tomato flavor front and center and makes for a lighter pizza than the American pizzas that often use cheese to excess. They didn't have a lot of menu options; not a lot for special diets and nothing in the way of salads, and I eventually ended up heating half my pizza with a plastic cup of water in a dimly lit space. The paper towel rolls at the table did feel very New England. I was satisfied that I tried it.

Half and half. Half tomato pie half pepperoni. Crust is super thin and just amazing

This is the best pizza crust around. Tiny little hole I. The wall, they sell pizza by the slice or a whole pie. Nothing supper fancy just good food. Next time I for sure want to try the garlic knots. Sauce has a little spiciness to it so be peppered but it's so good. My husband said it is the best pizza he has had in quite a while. Didn't get the best pictures because we were already eating it. But loved it

Pizza

Disclaimer: rating pizza quality and giving a LOT of leniency on service due to how new this place is. The pizza was great. You can tell it's New Haven inspired, but not a 1:1 ratio. Vibe feels like it's a college town pizza joint. Wide beer selection. The waitress was very nice but this place needs to figure out a ticketing system or a better way to keep up with their orders. We waited 40 minutes for our pizza and during that time they messed up one table's pizza and delivered the wrong pizza to two different tables. I can forgive the time wait because it was full but trying to remember which each table had from memory is bit of a bold choice.

Amazing pizza.

This was our first time at New Haven Pizza. Easy to park out in front and got seated right away. The place is very small and inviting. The service was outstanding and our waiter was incredibly personable. He explained everything to us and we made a great selection. The pizza was fabulous. We loved this restaurant and plan to return.We highly recommend their food and quality service.

Blackened pizza

I wish this wasn't a negative review, but unfortunately the pizza was terrible. I was shocked when they served us pizza burnt to crisp as if it was acceptable. I was even more shocked to see the numerous reviews echoing the same sentiment. They should be ashamed of themselves taking people's hard-earned money, and serving them blackened pizza. The pizza was so burnt that I couldn't even taste the toppings. Someone on Reddit coined it "cremation pizza" and it is no exaggeration. Where is the integrity? They need to figure out how properly train everyone to operate the ovens, or shut their doors.

Great New Haven style pizza We got a half cheese half pepperoni & sausage the crust was thin and crispy as it should be Really recommend this pizza

First, the all black walls with gold trim decor in a historic building, likely over 125 years old…read morewas the ultimate marriage of elegant, romantic, solid historic, sexy gourmet restaurant, and sports bar all combined. Intimate private tables overlook the restaurant and bar from 2 balconies with a darkened room only lit with candlelight on cozy tabletops for two right behind the elegant bar. They actually subtly incorporate about 4 large TVs on each side of the bar which satisfies the local. Univ of Tennessee fans while not ruining the elegant date night atmosphere! Service was also stellar with our tall waiter Carson all in black, doing an attentive but not overbearing first class service. We were on way driving from Knoxville back to Bham, so we did not get to use one of their elegant gold champagne/wine buckets on a stand. However, we all enjoyed the food, which I rate A all the way! Shared delish truffle fries, thinly hand cut wit fresh parm and a truffle dip, only $8! Our other entrees ranged from $27 to $22 for hot honey pepperoni pizza to my salad named The Goat. The Kennedy has a good selection from burgers to steak or market fish from $17-$55. My fried seasoned goat cheese balls on the salad was delish but could have used a little more spinach as it was my entree. The pizza was generous and very wonderfully spicy! The star dish recommended by Carson was hubby's rigatoni with blackened chicken. The restaurant has a very elegant bar at the back artistic photos of Knoxville arranged in matching dark frames with white mats adding character to the black with gold walls. Great place to take a date or company!

1. Ryan and William were amazing at the bar. William was our waiter and he did a fantastic job…read more 2. The food was top quality. 3. The drinks were over the top and William is an amazing bartender with deep knowledge on how to make drinks taste appropriately. 4. I've been coming to downtown Knoxville for a long time and never knew about the Kennedy, will make it a regular stop for me now.

We have driven by this restaurant on several occasions & finally decided to stop. It was lunch time…read moreso why not. The restaurant was welcoming & it smelled good. The waitress told us to grab a seat wherever we wanted. She was quick on taking our drink order. After reviewing the menu we decided on the lunch special & a capri salad. Our capri salad arrived & looked appetizing. After our first bite we looked at each & said "it's not Florence". The tomatoes did not have flavor, drizzle of olive oil was light & very light balsamic vinegar. The lunch special of 2 slices with 2 toppings was outstanding, even with a big flop. It's big enough for two people or tomorrow's lunch. Will go again, maybe for dinner.

We decided to call in an order and pick it up, and the experience was very pleasant from the start…read more The person who took our order over the phone was friendly and said it would take about 30 minutes, and they were right on time. Our food was ready when we arrived and was still nice and warm when we got it home. There are plenty of seating options inside, including a bar area, booths, and high-tops, plus outdoor seating if you prefer to eat outside. We ordered the Mini Garlic Knots, Buffalo Chicken Flatbread, and a medium pizza with sausage, mushrooms, and black olives. The garlic knots were okay, but a little on the doughy side and not my favorite. The Buffalo Chicken Flatbread was good, but nothing that really stood out. The pizza was also decent and hit the spot. Overall, it's a solid option if you're in the area. Granted, there isn't a whole lot around here, so you have to take that into consideration. If you're looking for really good pizza, you may have to drive about 20 minutes, but if you're nearby and don't want to make the drive, this place will do the job.
