Big Daddy's Pizzeria

Big Daddy’s Pizzeria is an excellent spot for great pizza at a great price. The pizza is full of flavor, and you can really taste the difference thanks to the wood-fired oven, which gives it an authentic, original touch. The service is attentive, friendly, and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. On top of that, the prices are very affordable for the quality you get. Highly recommended if you’re looking for delicious pizza and great service!

We visit TN every year and always visit one of the 3 establishments. The pizza is always wonderful and their meatball appetizer is always the stars of the show. Staff is friendly and the restaurant was clean. Food was quick to come out as well. If you have children, they will love it!

We've come here for as long as I can remember. The past few years we noticed a decline in quality. Today is the first time we stopped this year. The crust should be submitted to Guinness world records for thinness. I regularly travel to NY and this makes their pizza look like deep dish. Edit: The redeeming quality is how hysterically had it is. You fold the pieces over and try to eat them as folds and your fingers still pierce the pizza. At least your family will laugh at how ridiculous it is. Edit 2: That third pizza looks like cheese hanging off. It's the crust... This is hysterically terrible.

Stopped in for a beer and pizza after a super long day of walking. Big Daddy's did not disappoint. Had a cold beer, cheese garlic bread and pepperoni pizza. Ordered at the counter and found a seat. Drinks were brought out right b away and they were not super busy. Garlic bread came out first and we realized we should have ordered a small pizza instead of the larger one. No worries both garlic bread and pizza were almost as good the next day. Both were delicious. We prefer this location over Pigeon Forge, smaller and not as noisy.

This place is really good and extremely cheap for all the food you get there. There is a full bar , great tasting food and nice atmosphere. Our server Tristen did a phenomenal job.

This restaurant was recommended to us and did not disappoint!!! The service was exceptional. Food was fresh and served crazy fast!! We got half and half (2 different pizzas on one pan). I wish I had written down our server because he was so funny and entertaining!! 5 +Stars!!!

We had lunch here during low season, YMMV. Walked right in, sat right down, our food was out really quickly. The “original” wings are so good! We are used to places saying “a pound” of wings and it being 6 Frankenstein wings. This was a full plate of ok sized wings, the spice blend was delicious. Ranch and blue cheese clearly made in house and also delicious. The kids menu option was a little misleading/miswritten? The kids loved the pizza so whatever. The wings weren’t spicy so we were all able to share. The adults had the carnivore pizza and it was spectacular. Pretty decent adult bev selection, highly recommend the Lightning Lemonade. 3 stars for service only because they are just a hands off experience, the staff was super nice and professional. If you want a server to your table experience, not for you if you go when it’s busy.

Came in close to closing, wasn’t rushed. Great offer of BOGO , both pizzas were amazing, our host tried his best to find Kentucky game for us and didn’t mind at all, pitcher of beer was cheap. We will be back.

We ordered take-out so I can only rate based on that. The cheese pizza was really great. Some of the other speciality pizzas we got weren't my favorite. The crust was a bit burnt on one of them, on another the crust was a bit droopy and soggy, and some of them the cheese was completely falling off. But like I said, the cheese pizza was delicious.

Service was good, friendly. It's counter serve, so there isn't a ton in the way of "service" though. Perfectly fine by me, because it's quicker and they can accommodate more people this way. The pizza is very good. Everything was tasty from the crust to the sauce to the toppings. I can't say it's the best pizza I've ever had, but it's up there. I might say that they go a little light on the toppings though. E.g., my wife asked for goat cheese on hers, but it was honestly hard to tell if there was any there. The one odd thing i found is that if you order a Build-Your-Own, you're going to end up paying a lot more, even if the toppings you add are the exact same ones on one of their classics. E.g., A 10" Mamma Mia is $19.00. But if you "build your own" with the same toppings, you'll pay $11 + $2.50 + $2.50 + $2.50 + $2.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 + $1.50 + $1.50, for a total of $27.00.

The pizza crust was the only part that tasted just ok. I would find another place to have pizza Wife was still hungry tried the bbq place adjacent but the otitis soup was to go, but no good either. Sad we went there Not our flavored food

While taking a much needed vacation in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, my husband and I were searching for a place to have lunch. We noticed good reviews from Yelpers about Big Daddy's Pizzeria, so we decided to go. The restaurant was within walking distance from our hotel and across the street from Ober Gatlinburg park, and let me tell you - it was well worth it. This is a two-sided restaurant, with a barbecue place on the left, and the pizza place on the right. We walked in and were greeted by the nicest young lady. She asked how many we had and we told her it was just us. She seated us at a booth by the window, gave us menus, and took our drink orders. It was very nice in the restaurant, with lots of bright and happy colors, plus posters on every wall. The back area was an open kitchen with a guy handling all the cooking. Our server, Destanie, came back and took our order. We had plans to do some things and did not want a lot of food. We ordered the 10 inch Carnivore pizza and two side Caesar salads. Our salads came out in less than three minutes. The salad was good - nice and basic, with a garlic breadstick. The pizza was at our table soon after, and that was very tasty! The crust was not too thick and not too thin, and the flavor of the pizza was AMAZING. I have no doubt they use fresh ingredients at Big Daddy's Pizzeria. We also had a piece of cheesecake, but I forgot to snap a picture of that slice of deliciousness. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and when we come back for another Gatlinburg vacation, we will stop by again. Definitely recommended!!

Surprisingly good ‍ Manager stops at every table which is nice....... Gives diner vibes, aesthetically.

GROSS! I drove all the way from Florida just to eat at Big Daddy's Pizzeria -- and I've never regretted a food stop more in my life. The Margherita pizza came out with two thick slabs of mozzarella sitting there like they'd been sliced off a block and tossed on top as an afterthought. We sent it back and asked for more cheese -- and it came back cold. Not warm, not melty, just cold. Then came the bruschetta. I don't even know what to call it -- maybe a stale crouton impersonating bread, topped with cold mozzarella straight out of the bag, diced tomatoes and onions that tasted like they'd just been dumped from a prep tub, and a side of balsamic ball-sack dressing that made me question my life choices. Every salad came with cheddar cheese and romaine, even the so-called Greek. The Caesar was the only thing close to edible, which isn't saying much. Eighty bucks later, I left hungry, annoyed, and genuinely confused about how this place has good reviews. If you're passing through Gatlinburg, do yourself a favor -- keep driving. HARD WORKING PEOPLE KEEP YOUR MONEY--high prices for pizza that belongs in the trash!

Eat there last night. It was the worst Pizza we ever tried to eat. 14 inch pie. It was almost like they used a piece of cardboard and put the most minute quantity of cheese possible. Price was HIGH, but would not minded if it was Edible. Not sure what the high reviewers ate but it was not what we were served. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Outstanding. the Keto Pizza made with Sausage as the Base was outstanding. I would suggest you give er a go if you like to eat Keto and find yourself near Gatlinburg.

Always good pizza and the staff is so nice. One of our go to places every time we visit.

Great food, friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Loved it! We drove by and seen back oven pizza and had to stop!

They went away from table service. Might as well have ordered from hunts pizza at local gas station. No draft beer. Topping cold We come to gatlinburg regularly and stop here often. This is my last time. There is no ambiance felt like Domino's.

Tasty pizza served quickly. Friendly staff. Seat yourself order at the counter and they bring you your order. There's vegan options for those who want it including non dairy cheese. They also serve salads, sandwiches and deserts. There's a kid's menu.

Food was great, kids had a great time at the arcade. Service was great! Not too long of a wait but it was a popular place so try to go early!

This is a must if you are looking for a reasonably priced and quick meal in Gatlinburg.

We came here for lunch today. I was craving pizza. Big Daddy's did not disappoint. I got my pizza fix with the carnivore. Pizza was excellent! The surprise was the wings. Some of the best wings I've had. They give you a pound of small but perfectly cooked & seasoned wings. I got the house dressing, ranch & blue cheese for the wings. So good. Service was very good. I believe her name was Shaylee. We did not wait long at all for anything. Highly recommend the pizza & wings here.

Sat down immediately, great pizza, great value, amazing service. What not to love? Would recommend to anyone!

Visiting from Texas and saw this place. It was great the pizza was baked just right...I definitely recommend.

We came in late and they overheard that our pizza was to small and the manager brought us another 10" pizza and gave us a free sample tray of cannolis. Great service and professional. The pizza was good also.

Fresh ingredients, delicious cheese and the only place we have found nonalcoholic beer! Our waitress was great!

We tried to call ahead over the span of an hour to order as we were coming into town, and no one ever answered. Then when we show up, there are about four people at counters by the phone... so there seems to be no reason why they wouldn't pick up the phone to take an order. The food was OK... the daddy dough balls were dry I'm not really sure I get the hype.The location was a busy part of town and it was very hard to get out when leaving. As soon as we walked in it smelled like old cleaner.

The cheapest meal we had while visiting Gatlinburg, and it was yummy! Gypsy circus cider $6 (12oz can) - boyfriend liked it. 10" pizza $15 - got half bee sting & half chicken bacon ranch. Shared between the 2 of us, and we still took 2 slices to-go. Both were good, but we preferred the bee sting. The slight sweetness was so good! The pizzas don't have a whole lot of marinara sauce (which is fine with me), but they do have plenty of CHEESE! (Very good) BEE STING - Marinara sauce, sprinkled with red pepper flakes, diced salami, and topped with mozzarella-provolone blend. Cooked to perfection & topped with brown sugar. CHICKEN BACON RANCH - Olive oil, garlic, mozzarella-provolone blend, chicken and bacon. Drizzled with ranch and buffalo wing sauce.

The Gatlinburg location had a 20 minute wait for a table because of staffing shortages so we decided to order and carry-out. We ordered a 14in. Herbivore pizza. We waited less than 15 minutes for our order. The hostess brought us plenty of napkins, hot pepper flakes, and parmesan cheese with the pizza. The brick oven pizza was moderately priced, about $25, and was delicious. Great pizza- would recommend! Grab a six pack from the grocery store or gas station or spirits from one of the downtown stores and enjoy a cheap, tasty dinner.

Excellent service by Jennifer! We had a house sale with the Gorgonzola dressing that was delicious! Then the Mama Mia pizza! It was one of the best pizzas we've ever had! Top it off with an ice cold ipa draft and it was a 5 star plus experience! Want to try the wings next!

It has changed from a sit down restaurant to order at the counter. We ordered a 10 inch Mamma Mia. The only thing that was temperature hot was the sauce. Toppings were not even warm. Have been here several times in the past and it was great. Will not return again after this visit.

Big Daddy's pizza is the best in the area, hands down! Baked in a wood-fired oven, these thin crust pizzas are tasty and made with fresh ingredients. And the wait for 2 pizzas was only 10 minutes!

Update. We ate this time for table service and utilized the online checkin. Our server was polite and kind. She forgot my salad but everything else was spot on and fairly quick. Table favorite was the chicken bacon ranch. The taco pizza was so so. The he wing it was good but I could have used a little more buffalo and maybe some ranch. I liked the chicken florentine but the rest of my table doesn't like spinach on their pizza

If you're a pizza snob, don't do this..run! Pizza was terrible! I was bamboozled by the ratings.

My husband and I wanted pizza so I seen this place so we walked right in and was greeted as soon as we opened the door. They are very friendly and the food was great we both got a pizza I decided on the bqq 4 U and he created his own. I would recommend this pizza place to anyone and we will be back the next time we are here. They are very clean

Service and food were top notch. We had pizza and wings. Wings are smoked so it's an acquired taste. However the sauce options were amazing. Pizza was super fresh, toppings were plentiful and the crust was super.

Golly, this place was empty when we got there, but man it shoulda been packed out the door. The group was split between 4 and 5 stars, you will get great pizza either way. The name alone makes you wonder what you're about to jump into. We didn't find Big Daddy, but Big Daddy saw my pizza needs and whew he delivered. So good it almost slid off my plate onto the floor, but the sauce on my pants was worth it. Great view of the smokies out the window, and boy my pizza was smokin delicious. Check it out next time you're in good ole Gatlinburg.

I love pizza and it's hard to "do it wrong" but Big Daddy's is rough. Our salads were wilted lettuce turning pink and had barely any toppings. Pizza is ridiculously small for $20+ and the meats were thrown on sporadically, some slices were mostly crust or sauce while some had toppings sliding off the wet crust. If this place was dirt cheap I might recommend it for a post-bar bite to eat, but the prices definitely don't match the quality.

OMG. Brick fire pizza. Wow. I got a basic cheese pizza with 2 added toppings. Hot and good. Haley the waitress love her. Staff was nice and friendly. Looks like a pizza restauran. Love the atmosphere. Found Big Daddy's pizza while on our way to Ober. There really is not much more to say. Highly recommended. Pricing $10 - $20.

Ordered take out after an exhausting day of tourist activities. Staff was super friendly. Pizzas were still hot when we got back to,our hotel! It's one of MANY restaurants on the strip but we wanted pizza. So glad we chose big daddy's!

So bad. Multiple pies. Not good. Goto Food City and get frozen pie. 100x better quality.

We ordered a large take out order for our family. The person on the phone was ver difficult to communicate with and didn't know the menu. When we got the pizza it was not great and the wings were small with not much meat. Overall not a good experience. Don't know what the other options are but I would try them first.

So first thing, this is TN not NY so expectations were low. The service was great, the manager even popped out to answer a question for me. We ordered the meatball appetizer it was mediocre and needed more seasoning. Then we opted for a 10 inch with salami and ricotta. The salami was more like a fried bologna not a true Italian salami. The sauce was adequate but the cheese was a blend - true pizza is topped with mozzarella and only mozzarella. It was just okay for these pizza snobs.

Wow! My wife and I are well traveled pizza aficionados with a thick pizza portfolio, so we recognize immediately when we tie into a fantastic pie. Ok, let me backup and give you the layout. Patrons place their order essentially at the front door after entering the restaurant. Then it's self seating at one of the many tables or booths. Service was quick, but the crowd was modest being the week after spring break. The pizza arrived piping hot with 8 big slices to the large. Well, we served up our slices. From the very first bite, that pie had our attention! Normally we both eat 2 slices of pizza and enjoy the leftovers. Not this time. We totally destroyed that thang, and afterwards sat there staring at the desolation that a few minutes before was our dinner. Incredibly fresh sauce, well spiced Italian sausage, stringy mozzarella, and a crust perfectly crisp without being too thin. This is the place where appetites go to die. We thought maybe this was a fluke experience. So we went back 2 days later and did it again, with an additional dozen chicken wings. No joke! Stay away from this place if you recently had your stomach stapled.

No cap, this place is fire. Best cheese pizza (i know...you think I'm kidding now) I've had. The parmesean cheese mix slaps! The pretzel app with cheese were great as well. Also ordered the margarita pizza, not bad, have had better, but the cheese pizza is where it's at!

This place has amazing Pretzel bites and the service was nice with all of the staff being kind to us during our time eating there plus they play movies on the Tv screens and I personally do recommend you go here during your trip to Gatlinburg (Warning! You HAVE to buy food here you can't just get a drink!)

We're looking for a good pizza in the area and big daddy's was not bad for Tennessee pizza. Now, coming from the east coast where we have the best pizza in CT and NY, this hit the spot. Perfectly cooked crust and just enough toppings. We got the Mama Mia and Pepperoni with red onions and mushrooms. Tried the cheesy bread and also also spinach and artichoke dip. It was satisfying. 3 stars for pizza and 5 stars for the appetizers. This was a take out order and service was quick!

Really loved eating here! Delicious Naples style pizza, terrific service w/much "southern hospitality" & very cute atmosphere! Would definitely come here again & wish they had a branch in LA!

Visited on 1/13/24 and Megan was our server. She was nice and kept our drinks refilled. The food was good and the establishment was clean. It is right next to the BBQ spot, they share the same facility but on opposite sides of the building. Overall, good place.

This was probably our 20th time eating at big daddy's Gatlinburg, it's the one place that we always must go to when in town. Tonight was not a disappointment! They've changed their format a little, you now order at the counter and they bring your food to you, but that doesn't change the fact that their pizza is some of the best you'll get anywhere! Service was great and friendly, and our pizza was perfect as usual! We might even go there again tomorrow!

Service was good and timely. Wasn't crowded, but there was a wait for the adjoining bbq restaurant. The pizza was fine but if u are from a good pizza place, then don't have hopes too high. The Google rating at 4.5 is too high. Plain inside but it works and is of main Gatlinburg strip which is a positive

Great pizza! Thin crust with nice amount of toppings. Server was not the friendliest but was fast and efficient.

This was our first visit to this location. The kids needed their pizza fix, so here we were. The staff seemed attentive, but our waitress was not in her best mood or very attentive. When I have to ask multiple times for a refill as she passes us numerous times, that's an issue. Her only truly attentive moment was when she brought the check. Other than that, she appeared to want to be somewhere else. The food was above CiCi's but could have had more flavor for the price!

Great food! We had the Porky pie and Great white they were both excellent. Outside seating with umbrellas was noce on a sunny day.

Food was terrific but management and front house was the best ever encountered when traveling with a large group. Will always be a must to visit when in town.

In a town full of consumerist attractions, Big Daddy's Pizzeria stands out as one of the best restaurants in Gatlinburg. Upon walking in the establishment, you are met with a decision for barbecue or pizza. So of course you choose pizza and are greeted and seated by the kind staff. Firstly, the wait and service was phenomenal, especially given the saturated tourist market during spring break. Moreover, the dining room was surprisingly modest in occupation. Our waitress was kind and refilled our drinks when they were empty. It ultimately made the experience more comfortable and enjoyable. Now to the juicy part... the food. Pizza Daddy cooks their pizzas in brick ovens, and the taste is clearly represented by that. The Dough Daddy (bread bites) were an exceptional appetizer for the meal. The overall taste and quality of the meal was a testament to culinary excellence. In essence, the experience and taste of Big Daddy's pizzeria is a must if you're touring in the vicinity of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge.
