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.

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.

We arrived one night, and the band was sold out - so we had to leave, but had just enough time to have a brew and a pie. So check in before heading that way to ensure you can indeed get in. It can get busy, and the line can get long - so be prepared, and you might want to get two at a time those nights. As for the food, I have to say the Greek salad was AMAZING. Super fresh, zingy dressing. Just so good. The pizza was decent - nice thin crust and fresh toppings. Will it go down as the best pizza you've had - nah, but it goes good with a cold brew.

But the sweet girl taking orders didn't really know what she was doing and put in our order a bit wrong. The couple in front of us had their order messed up too. The interior of the place wasn't that inviting or clean, but we opted to eat in anyway. But IF we go back that won't be happening. My husband got a basic cheese pizza because that's how he judges all pizza places the first time around. It was just OK to him. I got the pickle chips since they were 'breaded in-house' and the BBQ Burger. The pickle chips were so over-seasoned and salty I couldn't even eat them - and I LOVE salt. What a shame. The only redeeming thing was the burger and fries. While the burger didn't have what it was supposed to on it and you don't get the option on the temperature of the meat, it was still a good burger. The fries were also super crispy and fluffy inside. So pretty hit-and-miss for me. I'm going to have to think twice before I go back.

On several visits, we have specifically requested that our garlic cheese bread and salad arrive before the pizza so we can actually enjoy the appetizer and salad course first. Tonight, we again had a very clear conversation about this request, yet everything arrived in the exact opposite order. What was most frustrating was being told that "the pizza comes out when the pizza comes out," as though there is no ability for the front staff and kitchen to coordinate timing. In an open-concept restaurant where the order staff and kitchen are working side by side, it seems like simple communication could easily solve this issue. We truly enjoy the food and want this restaurant to succeed, but proper pacing of a meal is part of good dining service. Appetizers and salads should enhance the experience -- not arrive simultaneously with or after the main course. We hope management will take this constructively because the food deserves service that matches its quality

It's a small independent business and you can tell the pride and effort they put into their pizza. The pizza took a long time to arrive - I was glad we ordered the calamari appetizer, which was sprinkled with red pepper flakes. It was spicy, lightly crispy, and delicious with their sauce on the side. If you don't like spicy food ask them to hold the pepper flakes. I thought they made a mistake and gave us the arrabbiata calamari instead, but the sweet server told us that one comes smothered in a spicy sauce. There are large TVs with any type of sports on so you can watch while you wait. There have a small bar area as well if you want to pop in for a slice and a drink. As soon as we took our first bite of the Grandma pizza, we immediately looked at each other and said it was absolutely worth the wait! Apparently the Grandma and the Sicilian are both rectangular shaped and deeper dish pizza than their other pies. (Note to self: go back to try the other pies!) The crust of the Grandma was crunchy all the way through including on the bottom in the middle - cooked perfectly. The sauce was so fresh, bright, and tomato-y - truly delightful with every bite. One thing I really enjoyed was the balance of sauce to crust to cheese to generous toppings. The cheese was there but it wasn't overwhelming just the perfect amount. The slices are giant. This is a fork and knife meal. One thing I'll mention - it's pricey if you're comparing it to other more fast-food style pizza. The Grandma pizza we ordered came with up to five toppings for $31, but here's the thing. I'll consider this place a restaurant where I'm getting a delicious and satisfying meal- not just "grabbing a pizza." It's like sure you can get a burger at McDonalds or Burger King for $5-$9 but it's not a Stock & Barrel quality restaurant burger that you'll pay $15-$20 for downtown Knoxville. It's the same idea here and if you think of it that way - we both had a fabulous entree for about $15 each, it just happened to be one we shared. And had leftovers, which is very unusual because my husband is a huge eater, so I also have lunch today too. They also have other pizzas - even another version of the Grandma without toppings for $21, making it absolutely worth the price for local, handmade, truly artisan style pizza. I can't wait to go back. I'll be dreaming of this pizza and craving that incredible sauce and crunchy crust. I'm so happy to have finally found crave-worthy pizza in East Tennessee!

For appetizers we ordered fried ravioli and garlic knots. Mysteriously, I am the only one in my family that appreciates a good garlic knot. The waiter voiced his approval of the order for the bread. He was right!! The garlic knots were great. They were light and fluffy and so delicious. The ravioli was good but not a stand out. The entrees were a mix. The pizza was outstanding. The pie was not heavy and the ingredients were top notch. The bolognese was another thing entirely. It was brought out soupy. We have had bolognese in a lot of places and they are different to a degree...not soupy like this. The pasta was out of a box. Once you have had homemade pasta, factory made pasta is easy to tell. Finally, Gavino's did not have cappuccino or any coffee at all!! We were surprised...we looked around at the wonderful Italian decor, the red and white plaid tablecloths, the full Italian dessert menu and could not believe the restaurant did not have some kind of coffee, Italian or otherwise! To our waiter's credit, he did offer to make some especially for us but that's not the point. An Italian joint should have some Italian coffee. We left without ordering dessert, which is a rarity. But the lack of coffee killed the vibe. We did bring the pizza home and we ate every slice of it over the next few days. So, go for the pizza and garlic knots and bring your cappuccino with you. ;)
