Best Pizza in Nashville (2025)
Tandy Wilson’s Germantown pioneer melds Southern larder with Italian know-how; the wood‑fired belly ham pie is a local rite. Featured in The New York Times; still a neighborhood standby with nightly energy and a tight wine list.
Beloved for New York–style pies, addictive garlic knots, and a late-night slice window. Regularly tops the Nashville Scene readers’ poll; in 2025 it added a Gulch slice window, spreading its East-side spirit citywide.
From the Rolf and Daughters team, this East Nashville spot turns out naturally leavened pizzas with seasonal toppings and a standout natural-wine list. Praised by local food critics for that clam pie and lively neighborhood feel.
Nashville’s Sicilian sfincione specialist: tall, airy, crisp-edged squares with breadcrumb crunch. Frequently cited by Eater and loved by chefs; intimate setting, so reservations are smart.

South Nashville needed a pizza spot that wasn’t just another bougie, wood-fired joint, and Dicey’s answered the neighborhood’s prayers. They serve crispy, thin-crust pizzas in a fun space—the ’70s-styled dining room/patio hybrid is a really comfy place to chat with friends over a pie. The specialty pizzas are worth your attention, especially the Peppy Boy with hot honey and calabrian chili oil, and the lunch-only sandwiches are well-stuffed, should you not be feeling pizza. You can sip everything from a PBR to natural wine, but we really love the Lemon Freezee, Dicey’s delicious take on a boozy Italian Ice.
