Mikes Pizzeria - Traditional Wood Fired Neapolitan style

If you’re looking for authentic Neapolitan pizza, this is the place. Mike, the owner, took great care of us and made excellent recommendations. The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly. I had the chicken pesto pizza, which was outstanding, and finished with the Nutella, banana, and strawberry calzone for dessert—absolutely delicious.

Absolutely amazing!!! The pizza was full of flavor and a pleasure to eat. I wanted pizza but didn't want a traditional American style pizza and this was on point. We will be back!

The pizza is amazing delicious we loved it. We tried both kinds with and without red sauce, both were great but we preferred the pizza with red sauce. The homemade ranch was to die for, loved it so much, best pizza we have had in many years, loved the guys making our pizzas very helpful and friendly, great place to eat or take home, you must try this pizza but don't forget the ranch it's amazing. We will be back often! Thanks for the best pizza lunch we have had in a long time. Pricey but worth it. Maybe clean the windows, is my only criticism they were very smudged the building does not do this place justice, try it you will love it.

We have a mission to find the best crust -the best dough and oven- in the Nashville area. Our first choice no matter where we try in 3 years of sampling are MIKE'S PIZZERIA, the PIZZERIA IN THE NASHVILLE FARMER'S MARKET, and SHO PIZZA in East Nashville. All three deliver amazing crust cooked perfectly with high quality toppings and sauce. FOR ME, it's the crust that builds the bite. Love this little humble place. And he does dessert Calzones which was a new one for me. Atmosphere is 5 stars because, come on, it's a little pizzeria in a strip mall in Murfreesboro... it has tables and chairs and a really sweet pizza man🍕. I do recommend you check out the other two as well but support Mike's if you live in Smyrna or Murfreesboro or even Nolensville

Amazing pizza! We devoured it so fast that I forgot to take a picture. We had the meat pizza and a pepperoni pizza. Delicious! The restaurant was very clean and everyone was so kind and attentive. We had a cheesecake, chocolate cake, and cannoli. We will definitely be back again.

Great pizza spot if you are wanting a wood fire pizza. Nice bubbles and char. Sauce was great. Service was excellent. Will be back for sure.

Label it as a Hidden Gem! A very unsuspecting pizzeria in a tiny shopping area. A very low key, spotlessly clean, restaurant. Outstanding pizza! I got the Spicy Salami! Hot honey across the top and I noticed people in the reviews were raving about the ranch so I I had to try it. Maybe the best ranch I’ve ever had lol. Anyways, 10/10!!! Great food, service, experience!

My dad and I took a stop here for some lunch on the way to Nashville and so happy we did! I ordered a meat lovers pizza to share and it was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. The ingredients are so fresh, the crust is amazing, light and crispy. The wood fired oven, the care, the time it takes to make everything from scratch you can tell in the high quality of the food. The owner was so kind as well, we are thankful. Will definitely stop back when we make a trip out here from Georgia!

First time customers & will definitely be coming back! Husband & I asked for 1/2 cheese & 1/2 Sausage Pizza ( special order which they gladly accommodate) Whenever I'm trying a new pizza joint I like to taste it plain at first , husband likes his stuff. Needless to say we were both impressed... cheese was the real deal , the sausage was fresh . Perfect balance of the sauce & EVOO complimented the pizza The crispy crust was amazing ! We're originally from NYC so we're pretty picky about our pizza . Mike's place is very simple not fancy ,but has big flavor! You won't be disappointed.

The Murfreesboro Pulse, a monthly news magazine/paper reviewed Mikes and it was a great review. I travel up and down this street often and have thought, "Gee. This is a new place. Maybe I should try it." The review drove the decision. You may accept my 5* rating and move on, or you can read all the kudos I am going to lay on them and the food. It is on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. Go there. My adult son said not only is this the best pizza in Murfreesboro, it ma be in the mid-state. Originally from what I call the pizza capital - New York, I would up that to one of the best in the nation. So let's get the mandatory service and ambiance rating to justify this. The place is in a strip mall. Service is prompt. Despite the sparse setting, the Italian speech in the background makes up for that. While my taste buds are not calibrated to say exactly what region of Italy the flour came from, I can say it produced a high gluten crust with a nice chew. It is the only wood fired pizza place here and the wood did not impart much smoke flavor, it did caramelize the crust well. Chain restaurants over load pizza with tomato sauce and this is not necessary. Mike's puts a proper amount without overpowering it. I loved the flavor of the sausage and the cheese. Well done.

This is the real deal! The gentlemen working there are as fluent in Italian as they are in English.Neapolitan wood fired pizza. The atmosphere is Very casual and friendly. We got ours to go. Fabulous! Everything is homemade and fresh! The pizza dough, mozzarella, etc! They make red and white pizzas. Pizzas are made in front of you and you can watch your pizza cook in the wood fired oven. Next time I am going to try a white one. My favorite pizza place ever! And be sure you get a cannoli to complete your meal! Those are about the best thing I have ever tasted! I will definitely be back!

The service was fast and friendly and the ingredients were fresh on the pizza. The only thing may just be the bottom of the crust could have been a little crispier. I really enjoyed the pizza!

THE. BEST. PIZZA. in the 'Boro! If you haven't tried it yet, you owe it to yourself. You can easily taste the fresh ingredients in their house-made, authentic Neapolitan pizza, Nothing frozen! The pizzas were cooked to perfection in a wood fired oven. My family and I all really enjoyed it. We will be back soon! We grabbed some desserts to-go. The cheese cake had the perfect texture and density, topped with home made strawberry compote delicious!

Don't sleep on this one! We are in town visiting family and wanted to find a good locally owned shop. Mike's did not disappoint. Wood fire with a super thin crust, it was one of the better pies I've had in probably 2 years.

After a long day of traveling with our dog, we were looking for a quick, delicious, convenient and healthier option for dinner. Mike's pizzeria did not disappoint! We enjoyed the meat lover's Neapolitan pizza which was delicious and the arugula salad which was outstanding--we were impressed with the perfectly sweet tomatoes and blemish-fresh ripened avocado. Well done!

Mike's Pizzeria was five stars! Checked it out this evening with a couple people and we LOVED all of the pizzas. The service was wonderful and very attentive and pizzas came out quickly. The crust is perfect - great chew, a little char flavor from the pizza oven, and not too thick or too thin. Eating the crust dipped in their homemade ranch sauce was a must. Wanted to sample a few options so we ordered the margherita, hot salami, pesto chicken, and tartufo. The mushroom and salami were our top favorites. I'm already dreaming about going back to see if I can order the hot salami with pineapple added as that might just be my perfect pizza combination. Love getting to support a local business and especially when the food truly is this good! Be sure to check them out.

Visited Mike's pizzeria , was late afternoon so the place was quiet. I had the opportunity to meet the owners Mike and Beshoy who are really nice guys and very welcoming. They told me about their road to opening this place and the efforts they put into delivering a quality product. Homemade dough, quality ingredients, specialty wood fired (oak) pizza oven, and TLC for every order. I went with the Pepperoni Pie and when Mike pulled it out of the oven and put it on the counter it was dazzling...all of the cheese and pepperoni bubbling and it smelled so good. I am spoiled when it comes to this style of pizza, and these guys did not disappoint me at all. The crust was light but crisp, loved the char from the oven as it adds to the flavor, the pepperoni is my favorite style of small crisp little cups that allow the oil to sit in the bottom...sooooooo good. You also experience an extra flavor burst of fresh basil throughout the pie while the cheese and sauce complemented everything versus masking the flavors of the pie. Finally Beshoy told me they make their own Ranch Dressing for dipping the crust and yes...I dipped. If you're a Ranch fan you will love the flavors of fresh dill and chives along with "secret" ingredients...it is really good. Excellent food, clean and bright shop, great owners, a simple menu, and wonderful conversation. Welcome to Murfreesboro

Always at the top of their game... BEST Pizza in Rutherford County... BY FAR!!! We eat there once a week. Mike and crew are the most hospitable folks you'll ever meetAMD they know how to make an authentic Napoli style pizza. Check it out

They are really nice! The pizza, we got pepperoni and Marguerite pizzas, were delicious! In fact, my grandson was going "uuuummm" and smacking his lips while eating. I was almost as vocal. Lol. I had brought my grandsons birthday gift and they noticed. After we got done, he came over with a piece of chocolate cake and some stickers for my grandson with a high five!

Simple building. No need for anything more. Pizza is perfect. Far exceeds the pizza standards in the area. If you don't like it you don't know pizza

Such good pizza! The Tartufo was Loaded with delicious mushrooms and laced with truffle oil! Loved it! The ranch/dill sauce was a great addition! The guys loved the meat lovers especially the thinly sliced prosciutto was such a treat! The crust was nice and a little thick, perfect t for that dipping sauce. I probably would have preferred the meal eaten there, by the time it got home, it was not hot. All said, we would order here again!

Mikes Pizzeria has some of the best thing crust pizza I've had. I got the Margherita Pizza and it was amazing. The pizza was handmade and wood fired, the crust was definitely the best I've had. The ranch they served on the side was also very good! They were also very friendly and explained their menu well. I would definitely come here again! Note* They only have 12 inch pizzas but if you're hungry enough you will eat whole pizza!

Our pizza was perfect! Chicken pesto with red sauce on the side--the crust was thin and crisp, slightly charred. Just right.

I stopped here on a Friday evening after work and the pizza was so fresh and delicious! I will definitely be back!

We placed a takeout order and we're blown away with the service and pizza. We tried 3 different pizzas and a calzone with sausage added. It was the best calzone I have had, the crust was ununbelievable. My husband picked up the order and said the 2 people working were friendly and the place was clean. We will definitely be going back to work out way through the menu.

Best pizza I've had in Tennessee. This would be good pizza even in New York dot miss out you have to try this place if you do you'll keep coming back

Our first time here and the Wood fired Pizza was absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back !

Really disappointed. We have had their pizza many times and love it. My husband just went in and ordered 2 calzone, one classic and one with meatballs. Mine the classic one was completely soaked on the bottom, soggy, not eatable. I even got the sauce on the side to mitigate that issue. I really don't know what happened.

If you want the best pizza in Tennessee then go to Mike's Pizzeria. They make Neapolitan pizzas with the classic chewy dough and beautiful tomato sauce and mozzarella. The margherita pizza is topped with basil to finish it off. It's perfection. The service is great too, these guys want you to love your pizza. Please support local pizza, we need to keep these guys around!

Now this is good pizza! Homemade ranch for the crust was amazing also. Excellent, excellent! We need more pizza places like this in town.

Very high quality pizza. Fresh ingredients and an authentic crust with an appropriate char. Bravo

I wish this place all the luck in the world! Unfortunately, pizza is a dime a dozen in this town. Mike's pizza is really, really good and he's a nice guy. The restaurant is clean. My only complaint is there is no "tap water."

Horrible food! Ordered sandwich, got folded over pizza slice with 3 tiny bite size pieces of chicken. Barely any sauce and taste was very very salty!

Great food! We've been here several times and everything has been great. Chicken pesto is our favorite! Service is always good and staff are friendly. Don't expect fine dining...it's paper plates and can drinks...but totally worth it for the pizza. The homemade ranch is also super good to dip in.

Solid choice for pizza in Middle Tennessee. Might not warrant 4 stars in NYC but we've returned for a second take out order, so that says something.

We saw Mikes while driving by and decided to call the next day! The pizza was perfect! Delicious! I know they just opened but would have loved some appetizers. We will definitely visit or order next time we are in town!

I love this pizza! It's everything every other reviewer has posted....delicious. I don't love their location, so I ordered through a delivery service. We kept it simple, pepperoni on one and cheese on the other. Great flavor.

Mike's is new and it was our first time. It didn't disappoint and we will for sure be back to try the dessert and salads! The owner was working and so kind as we studied the menu! It is a simple place, but that almost makes it better as a quiet lunch where you can enjoy the company at your table versus kitchen noise!

I was looking for good wood fire pizza in Murfreesboro and gave this place a try. It was fantastic. Great pizza and loved their home made ranch. Great service as well!

I moved to the Boro 8 months ago. If y'all think this is 5-star pizza, you ain't had a real 5-star pizza, and this speaks to the sad state of pizza in this area. The crust is one of the better ones, but the sauce is plain. The rest of the toppings are average. Sami's is better tasting and a better value, with Mike's charging $15 for what is basically a personal size pizza. I'm still searching for a 5-star pizza in the Boro.

So good and a refreshing new pizza place to have great brick oven pizza. Chefs kiss!

Wow!! What a gem of a place, Clean and cute atmosphere. This pizza is absolutely delicious. The crust is baked perfectly in a wood fire oven. We enjoyed the Margherita pie and the Chicken Pesto also fabulous. Beshoy and Mike are meant to be in this business. Very friendly and personable. ...

Found this small pizzeria by accident but we now know where to get great food. Upon entering we were greeted warmly and told a few things about the food and the wait time. We ordered the Margherita pizza and one can of coke and told it would be about 15 minutes. They have about 6 tables and three had young men totally enjoying their lunch. Just seeing the different kinds of pizza was mouth watering. It was quiet everyone was enjoying their pizza. Our pizza was still smokey from the hot oven with bits of char, the crust was thin, layered with the best red sauce ever and covered with cheese and fresh basil. (Reminded us of all the fantastic pizza in Rome) This was the perfect lunch, 3 pieces each for the two of us. And since we don't drink soda often we shared a can. Fair warning this place is addictive. The guys are friendly and quick. Hoping they will consider moving to Blackman area.

The best pizza in all the boro. Always fresh food and a great ingredients. Staff is always super friendly

Pizza was very thin. I am from NY and grew up on the best pizza. This is NOTHING like NY pizza. The pizza is too thin. Its like they rolled it out too much. Any true Italian pizza shop owner in NY would ban them from making pizza. Also the price for that small pie is ridiculous. Too many other places that are less expensive and waaaaaaay better. They should be ashamed of themselves to serve that pizza!

Had a nice dinner tonight with a meat lovers pizza, the topping we're fresh and the crust was really good. The prosciutto on top was excellent, highly reccomend trying them out!

Great pizza! Tasty Calzones! Friendly service. Always greeted with a smile and hello, food is fresh and hot, and it smells wonderful as soon as you walk in the door. Nice folks.

Amazing authentic italian pizza , you might miss it because of the location but it's worth turning around!! Highly recommend

Came down to mikes called 20 minutes before closing and made a big order yet they were so nice and the food was great new favourite pizza spot for sure
