My family and I went to The Pizza Inn for the first time, I didn't realize it was a buffet type of place. I personally don't eat at buffets. I noticed how clean they kept the buffet, the restaurant in general, I was impressed. So we stayed and the food was PHENOMENAL Our server, Tiffany, was friendly and nice. We will definitely be back read more

Good food awesome and real friendly. They need more businesgoid food good food awesome thanks for your help

great pizza, love the crust. we had the meaty max and the buffalo chicken. buffalo sauce is not spicy unfortunately, had to hot sauce.

Pizza Inn is a reminder of my days in High School and Friday nights. The atmosphere is much brighter, there isn't a juke box, but the pizza, thin and crispy, is still the best thing made. Most people go with the buffet, but I still order a large, beef, sausage, and onion with a thin and crispy crust. Do it your way. What ever makes you happy at Pizza Inn. read more

Pizza Inn - Large thin and crispy beef, sausage, and onion. Enough for three meals. - Pizza Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

From the minute we arrived we were greeted with big smiles. We had a fairly large party for a Saturday night but were taken straight back to the perfect seating. Our waitress was excellent and kept our glasses topped off all evening. We ordered for the bar about 4 pizzas which were made available with minutes. Everything about our first time visit was great for the exception of the miserable drive home. We completely indulged in the delicious pies to the point that we all were over our stomachs limits. Will we be back? You better believe it! What would we change? The drive, we need one closer to home. read more

Wouldn't recommend. Pizza isn't that good also fun fact they won't tell you that they add a 20% tip on the bill & then ask for another on the screen up front. Don't be like me & tip in cash then tip on the required 20% on a BUFFET. That's insane read more

We really enjoyed the Pizza Inn in Knoxville. The server was very polite and she was very attentive to our needs. Overall, the buffet was very good with a wide variety of pizza varieties. Most were thin crust, so we really enjoyed all the variety of flavors. The desert pizza was delicious either way the strawberry/rhubarb selection being the best overall. We were disappointed that they did not have wings or Stromboli as advertised. They serve Pepsi products for drinks. The dining area was spacious and well lined out. Best for family dining. read more

My wife and I have lived in Knoxville for seven years and tried this place for the first time today.... I hate that it has taken us so long! Pizza Inn was phenomenal! The service was amazing! The food was hot and fresh! and they were very clean. We'll be taking the kiddos back for sure. read more

Clean restaurant, friendly staff, regularly stocked bar. Only downside was the shredded lettuce (vs chopped/leaves) on the salad bar and not very meaty meat sauce on the pasta bar but those were minor dings. Definitely recommend if you are jonesing for a pizza buffet. read more

We came to Pizza Inn for my brother in laws birthday and we were pleasantly surprised. The pizzas were all fresh with many different options. Lots of variety in the pizza toppings. The service was amazing. Tiffany took amazing care of us. She checked on us often without being overbearing and our drinks stayed full. The salad bar had lots of options and everything was clean and fresh. There were soup and pasta options as well. Will definitely keep in mind next time I want a pizza buffet! read more

Their quality has went way down. We have been going forever and this time all the pizza on the bar was like Luke warm to cold! The salad was great though as usual! We tried to talk to the manager and he had a cocky attitude and just shrugged his shoulders! read more

So the side room is really hot because the aire doesn't work in that room. When I ask to sit in another area the host has an attitude that is pretty insulting. I'd understsnd if it was crowded but it wasn't. This happened twice now. Love the salad bar!!! read more

This is an excellent place for pizza. A great variety of pizza that is hot and tasty. Great salad bar. Clean and they keep the buffet stocked. The dessert bar also great, read more

If only they had delivery! Everything else was perfect. (I could have used Doordash or Ubereats but I just don't.) Looks like like most people dine in and eat from the buffet. Looked yummy and well stocked, both the pizza buffet and salad bar but I'm just not ready to partake in buffets with unmasked strangers during covid and flu season yet. When we carried out the lady asked if we needed plates and then threw in sauce, crushed red pepper, and Parmesan. Large was a good size for 3 people to spit. We scarfed it down in about 20 min! lol read more

Good pizza, pleasant staff, loved the experience. Can ask for specific pizzas to be made

Food was good. Unfortunately though it was a bit too greasy for me and gave me an upset stomach. Other than that it was very good and would go back. read more

Delicious! Great selection and wide array of choices. Staff was friendly and attentive. The vibe was like the good old fashioned pizza place that everyone went to after the game. Buffet was kept clean and well stocked. We will definitely keep this on our short list of favorites in Knoxville. read more

This has to be one of the best paint of buffets of all time very nice service very clean environment highly recommend. read more

We stopped here on our last day in Knoxville before we flew back to California and we were beyond glad we did. The customer service was incredible and the staff was so kind and helpful. They gave us recommendations for flavors to try and brought us plates of their favorite slices and desserts. My mom asked if they would make a pepperoni and pineapple pizza since she didn't see it on the buffet line and they were more than happy to do so. If we ever get to visit the area again, we will definitely be back! read more

So glad they are open for Dine In! Took my kids on Tuesday night and forgot that Tuesday's are Kids Eat Free (10 & under) so it ended up being a pretty cheap Dinner and that's always a GOOD thing! They are practicing social distancing by seating customers far enough from each other. Our waitress cleaned our booth before we sat down. I noticed they had hand sanitizer out and disposable gloves at the bar. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I love their Salad Bar, they always have a big variety and fresh lettuce. The Pizza Bar is amazing and has lots of different Pizza on it. They are good about taking requests from customers for Pizza that is not on the bar. I always eat waaaaay too much. The Chocolate Chip Pizza Dessert is another favorite of mine and the kids. We will definitely go back in the future. read more

So much better than CiCi's. Restaurant is always clean, salad bar is always stocked, pizza is always fresh and not sitting for hours! Buffet has a great variety of pizza as well. read more

Always calm nice chill the employees/servers are always polite like family and best garlic ever. read more

Pizza Inn - Favorite buffet literally all I can eat - Pizza Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

The place, food, and staff were amazing!!! I hadn't seen a Pizza Inn in, probably, 35 years. I was instantly transported to being 8 years old again. The food was just as I remembered, and they even still had the Pacman and Galaga arcade games!!!! Great atmosphere and food for the price!!! read more

I'm a Man of Pizza! As far as ranking goes. This is my number one place to go for Buffett or order take out. They have variety of good pizzas, salad and desserts. However it's always packed so I do not know when and which days to attend when it's more quiet. There's always people in line to wait to sit. However the waiting time isn't long. For the Buffett and time waiting is worth it. Once you sit down then u can pig out and try different flavor pizzas to see if u like em. read more

Fantastic pizza buffet with friendly service. I eat here whenever I am in the area. Recommended.

Probably 50 times better than CiCi's. The place was packed on a Tuesday at 7pm and I was told it was a slow night. Great meal option for a family on a budget. I was out of there for about $14.50 + tip. The pies and toppings were pretty good as buffets go. The desert cinnamon folded pie pieces are very good. Very happy with freshness, quality for price, and friendliness. read more

Uh no.......... I don't dig this Pizza at all. Thin crust tastes like thin crust has a reputation of being - like a saltine without the salt. Sauce fair, cheese not for me. Ate one slice, chucked the rest. read more

Amazing deal for the buffet, never had had a bad meal here. The pizza is always fresh and hot. Pizza Inn or bust.

Going to give it to you guys for having a variety of pizzas and being able to sit down and have an actual waitress is a great thing to you not a true authentic place but is very open up pizzeria kid friendly read more

So I have never felt so insulted ever! So I just got done with my works holiday party at pizza inn the male manager on duty today canceled our backroom reservation on us that we reserved last week. For another group of 20 that hadn't shown up. He put us with 4 tables in a corner and he was staring at us the whole time and bad mouthing us and we were supposed to end the party at 3:15 but we end up leaving the restaurant at 2:30 cause my boss thought we were going to get kicked out. read more

Im in town and looking for somewhere to bring 2 adults, 3 teenagers and a young one. Holding my breathe it was a toss up between Chinese Buffett and this place. This was a great choice. The pizza was good and the salad bar was well kept and lots of choices including soup. I really like these baked and flavored pita like chips, very crispy and lots of flavor. The dessert pizza and strudels where delightful. So much that we purchased one to go. The very best part was the waitress kept called us honey and babydoll(I'm from the north and I loved it) and they were playing Christian music!!! Bonus in my book, We'll be back in a few weeks. read more

Pizza Inn - Large Cinnamon Strudel $9.99 - Pizza Near Me - Knoxville, Tennessee

I typically love everything from this Pizza Inn. I love their sauce and their thin and crispy crust is my absolute favorite! Their wings are usually do good as well. Last night we ordered delivery from DoorDash. Instead of my go to thin crust pepperoni I got the meats specialty pizza on Italian crust. I did not like this pizza at all. It was super greasy. I'm not sure if all of the grease was from all the meat or something else. It almost seemed like the pizza has been drizzled in garlic butter (which I did not care for). Next time I'll definitely go back to my old favorite thin crust pepperoni. read more

This pizza was nasty, there was hardly any sauce on the pizza it tasted very cheap!!! The toppings were minimal I gave it 2 stars because the cinnamon Stromboli was DELICIOUS! And the staff was friendly. Was disappointed. read more

The staff have been super nice even telling me of deals that saved me money. The pizza is great. Just a solid place.

On Saturday, Jan. 11, 2020, a large group of us had a party at Pizza Inn. It was the worst pizza I've ever had in my life! On top of that, several of us that had eaten there came down with a terrible illness at the same time! I had vomiting, nausea, fever, headache and couldn't even stand the thought of food for 3 days! When I found out that there were several others that had the same illness, I filed a complaint with the Health Department! This place is horrible and the thing that makes me even madder is that I wasted $16.00!!! I couldn't be paid to go back there again! read more

Been over a year since I was last here however, we ate here regularly for two years while we lived in Knoxville. Hands down, the best run business I've ever seen. Employees were always super on top of everything. Whoever runs that place needs to run the country because damn it was impressive how well that place was run and how consistent it was. Food always great, everything was always clean. Highly recommend. Other restaurants need to go learn from this place. read more

FILTHY!!!! We've been here 2 times now because 1st time I assumed they were maybe having a bad day so we tried a 2nd time. No improvement. Place is FILTHY! Bathrooms are almost unusable. Seat, floor, sink disgusting. No paper towels. Told Scott. Got a blank look in return. We get there right after service so 1130am everything should be SPOTLESS but no! Maybe it's better at night but we will NEVER be back. read more

My husband and I and our two best friends went there today. We wanted to stay awhile so we went early afternoon to avoid lunch rush and supper rush, so we wouldn't be holding a table they might need. My husband works a lot so we can't do this often. The food was great even that time of day. The service was really great. We were encouraged to stay as long as we wanted and enjoy our visit. I was very impressed with the friendliness of each member of the staff we came in contact with. I very very rarely write a review, so if I write one, you know it is a good one! Thanks, see y'all next month! The Owenbys from Sevierville read more

In Knoxville for a short time and went out to try this place. There is such a variety of choices and if there is something unique you want they will make it for you. There's pizza, salad, pasta and soup. The pizza is cut into small enough slices to be able to enjoy multiple different kinds without getting full to quickly but are still enjoyable. The Taco pizza, BBQ chicken pizza and the Baked Potato pizza were some of my favorites. The dessert pizzas were great as well! Service was also great and they were constantly keeping the food area clean and fully stocked. read more

Pizza Inn is one of our go-to spots for a speedy sit down meal. Plus, it's a giant buffet of pizza. How can you go wrong with that?! They've got an ok salad bar with some additional hot items that include spaghetti pasta with marinara and another pasta with alfredo sauce (really tasty). They've also got some garlic bread twists that are always fresh. The pizza isn't anything over the top, blow your mind to Mars, or knock your socks off, but they've got some unique pizzas that are surprisingly good. The taco pizza and Big Mac pizza are two of my favorites in addition to the relatively traditional Hawaiian. You can request just about anything at the buffet bar and they'll bring it out to you piping hot. My FAVORITE part is the dessert pizzas. They usually have three to for types on the buffet at any given time. My favorites are the Bavarian cream and strawberry. They may be a little too sweet for some, but I can never get enough! They also have cinnamon sugar pita crips if you want a lighter choice after stuffing yourself full of pizza! Any time we've been, the staff have always been very friendly. It's a good place to go if you can't decide on what type of pizza to call in. Go and request your own creation! read more
