"Tri-Cities is a bit of a pizza desert. Thankfully, Hapeville Pizza helps fill that void with thick-crust pies that pay homage to the historic neighborhood with names like The Hapeville Hottie (with tender buffalo chicken). And the pies at the counter-service spot are reliable, especially for solo diners who can snag a personal-sized pizza for $9.50. We like the veggie and the lemon pepper chicken pizza, which comes with big chunks of chicken spiced with lemon pepper. And the wings are also a worthy order. Just note: they're baked, not Atlanta-standard fried, but they’re seasoned to the bone and get a pass. Food Rundown The Depot - Veggie Pizza A great order if you want to load up on your vegetables. It comes with big pieces of mushrooms, black olives, onions, and spinach, and tomatoes that don’t overwhelm the cheese and sauce, and the crust is thick enough to support it all. video credit: Tabia S. Lisenbee-Parker The Lemon Pepper Chicken Pizza The pizza comes with chunks of zesty baked chicken and savory red sauce. With the thick-crust dough, this a great, filling choice. video credit: Tabia S. Lisenbee-Parker Wings The wings are baked (which you’ll be told in all caps when you place an online order), but they're well-seasoned, with flavor that seeps into the meat." - Jacinta Howard
