We are from FL and wanted a local restaurant away from DT Chattanooga. This place was amazing! The owner and staff were all happy and helpful! The owner recommended her version of her homemade focaccia bread for an appetizer and it was so good! The pizza was great. On Sundays she has a special and today she had her homemade pork egg rolls and they were the best we’ve ever had on the east coast!!! This place is fantastic!

Was super excited to check this place out while in town for the 7 bridges marathon. As my first time coming here I wanted to try many things. We started with the seasonal burrata which was a sweet potato spread with maple, pistachios, and bread. Bread was fresh and very hot, burrata plate was delicious. That’s about where the enjoyment ends. We tried to order the “Saturday sandwich” which was listed on the board and we were told no it was too early. But no time was listed and it was already posted. Ok whatever. I ask about another dish with chorizo. Oh we don’t have that either…. We ordered a pepperoni pizza to “start” the venture. With only like one other table order food it took and extremely long time for the pizza to come out and during that time no server came to say anything. Easily 25 mins for a single pizza. I had to get up to find a server to ask for share plates for the burrata. Then I asked for more water which after 10 mins and no water I had to get up and hunt someone down and ask again. Finally they brought a half bottle of water. When the pizza finallly made it to the table it was easily sitting back there for a while because it wasn’t warm at all. My 5 yr old was able to shove it in his mouth with no issue because it was so cold. No one came by the table so we ended up eating the food because we had already wasted so long the kids were getting antsy. Then I went to hunt down the server again. One was out back and had been for a while. The other I explained the pizza was “cold” and he’s like hmm weird. Which I’m not sure it was weird if you left it sitting in the window. So anyway I’m half way annoyed and figured let’s just get dessert and go. So the board both inside and outside says “bread pudding” I ask if that would come out hot and how long because we’ve just been sitting for a while and are getting ready to go. The server then proceeds to tell me they also don’t have bread pudding that’s listed on the board inside and outside. So now multiple items not available, one I can’t order that’s listed, cold pizza, and horrible service. Even after explaining the pizza issue he offered no resolution or attempt to resolve it just a shrug and move on kind of response. And there were multiple occasions where I asked for things and never got an update or resolution on. I wish this would have been a better experience. Sadly it wasn’t. Outside seating area is nice though.

Great atmosphere, GREATER service, ok food. I ordered the Sriracha Mayo wings and the Hot Hawaiian pizza. I absolutely love the fact that they have menu items I’ve never seen before, like Brussel sprouts on pizza. May try that one sometime. The pizza has fantastic ingredients on it, no question about that at all. But quite undercooked for my taste and very watery on the middle. Not greasy, watery. I couldn’t pick it up one handed without everything falling off. The wings were EXTREMELY hot, that’s thanks to great service. No waiting on them, fresh from the kitchen. However, the sriracha mayo was mayo heavy. I didn’t get. I much hint of sriracha. The wings themselves were great but wish I’d gotten a different flavor. The atmosphere and service was so solid, I wanna come back and try it again.

Ordered pizza online. Smoked chicken, onions, blue cheese and buffalo sauce. Not enough chicken on it to give an opinion on the smoked chicken. Blue cheese and buffalo sauce were pretty good. Positive: I rather enjoyed the chewy crust.

Loved their strawberry basil burrata, and their secret menu item, “the lasagna pizza” and their hot chick pizza with a side of ranch. Their ranch is really good. Will definitely be back.

Went here for a date and the pizza is yummy! I also recommend the aranchini balls. They are perfectly crispy and so flavorful. Staff was also very helpful and great

Went here on a whim for my MILs birthday. We each had our own pizza and all agreed they were delicious! We are fans of thin crust rather than traditional and finding out it was wood fired was the icing on the cake. Our server was great as well! Very attentive and ensured we had everything we needed.

Great food and always amazing service! Cute little restaurant. Their dough is amazing!

Well,, it's our first time in this little Pizzeria, we were having a one day visit to Chattanooga and found it, and yes they do Wood Fire Neapolitan Pizzas, the taste was right on, we started with a Burrata Cheese with Puffed bread, it was something news for us, and the right thing to start with. I recommend it to who ever is craving for a Neapolitan pizza.

This Pizzeria has come under scrutiny as of late due to the politics of the day. All I know is this, this little spot turns out an incredible pizza, arguably, the best in town. There are so many things to love about this little place, and while the regular menu is great, my recommendation is to focus on the current special, be it the arancini, the burrata or the pizza. Today, I went with the Ragu Pizza, it was incredible! I started out with a tasty NE IPA from Burial Brewery, just like their food, always rotating new fresh draft beer selections as well and some fried pickles. Can you believe fried pickles at a pizzeria, I was blown away. Trust your server to give you advice on what are the "right" new items to sample. They know what they're talking about.

I came here a few days ago and the pizza is nothing special. Service was fine and the ambiance was decent. The pizza I had had was lacking flavor.

Service & Food were very good. Nice place for an afternoon break. Outside setting is very nice. Christian answered all our questions and gave us some good suggestions. Try it out...

First time eating here. Loved it!!!! We will definitely be back. The food was so flavorful and amazingly good!!! The ambience was so cool and inviting. Indoor and outdoor dinning. Everyone was so nice. Very helpful. The suggestions from our waitress. We totally tried new tried them and we are so glad we did. Their food is so uniquely different. But us coming from California. We fin found flavors in thr food. And just creativity I've never had food just like it. We will definitely be back. This is a gem!!!!!!!!!

As a lifelong resident of the Red Bank community I've always made every effort to support local businesses. However, after multiple chances over time I'm done with this place! The only consistency about this establishment is the disappointment! Stopped by last evening to grab a Margarita Pizza and, the photo should tell the tale...never again. Not to mention it's miserably hot inside....its south East Tennessee, you'd think $12 for a no sauce pizza they'd be able to afford some AC? The service was great, hence the 1-Star and a $5 tip on a $12 pizza.

Great service, solid pizza wonderful overall experience. Great selection of pies and desserts.

Talk about the most amazing thin crust pizza in a long time. This place is an absolute gem. One of the best bianca pizzas of all times, good cheese and more pizza which is a margherita sauce pizza with garlic and mozzarella, amazing burrata. The potato pizza without ham was average. I also had the Cabernet sauvignon which was good. Highly recommend this gem of a place.

The pizza is as close to authentic Italian as you can get in Chattanooga. The staff is friendly. My wife really doesn't like pizza, but she loves this place. It is one of the places we take visitors.

After asking locals for recommendations, this restaurant seemed to come up. I couldn't help but feel that the hype might be a bit overblown. Parking was a bit tight but leads directly into the restaurant for easy wheelchair access. The hosts were extremely friendly and gave us some great recommendations! The problems started when we saw a paper on the front door saying 'We decline to talk with all media'. Which is a strange notice but I chalked it up to some kind of social media popularity. The ambiance is charming--think rustic decor and a small packed space that adds to its intimate feel. Seating was a bit tight but you're not on top of other customers. Unfortunately, the restaurant's popularity seemed to weigh heavily on the service during my visit. While the hosts were warm and inviting, the service started off slow, leaving us waiting longer than expected for our order. We ordered 3 pizzas and waited for quite a bit (understandably so, given the high volume). There was no service at this time, no upselling or offers for new drinks. During this time I figured to look up the business, supposedly a personal decision made by the restaurant that caught the eyes of news media caused this influx of business. The staff seemed way over their head and good service was an afterthought - consequence of turn and burn. Mr potato head pizza was one of the recommended pies from the host, sounded delicious in concept but failed in execution. The flavor was all over the place and fell short of expectations. We ordered the fancy pants pizza half chicken and half ham. While the crust had potential, it fell flat with a salty and soggy texture that overshadowed the fresh ingredients. The margherita pizza seemed to be the most tolerable of the three. After we were done with most of our pizza, my friend stepped away to the restroom and one of the servers stopped by to inquire about dessert, i responded that we would wait for him to return to make a decision. 2 minutes later they dropped the check, my grandmother still had a full glass of wine. I understand it was busy but dropping the check when the customer is still considering to buy/enjoying their food or beverage is extremely rude. I cannot in good faith recommend this place nor will I find myself there again.

Definitely not worth the hype. There are many better options than this place. And the service was bad. Won't be back.

I was traveling from out of the state. It was a last minute dinner. The pizza wasn't only good, they were quick and had great service.

We dined here last Saturday and had the best service. There was a bit of a wait and it was chilly outside, but Hannah brought over an extra heater and was very accommodating. She checked on us several times. Once we were seated, our waitress was equally personable and hospitable. I sadly did not get her name, but her professionalism definitely added to our experience. We also enjoyed the delicious food. We ordered a couple of burrata appetizers, several pizzas (the Bianca was a favorite), and the Nutella dessert. Unfortunately, I did not get any pictures of the food. Thank you to the staff at Pizza Cortile. We would love to dine in again when we find ourselves back in TN.

Best pizza I have ever had. Great service, great location, and great outdoor seating! They were so sweet to our puppy! Couldn't recommend more. We brought my parents out to visit, and they asked to come here twice inside of trying somewhere new!

The pizza was subpar. Crust was doughy and not fully cooked in the center. They did have a good topping selection.

Pizza and service is extremely good. Wish I could've tried more pizzas. Fong is such a wonderful server. Loved the music.

Delicious pizza, drinks...everything. Our friends were raving about this place after a Saturday hike, so we decided to stop by for a late lunch, and we're so glad we did! For drinks, the boys got beer, while the girls got the Roman Holidays. The Roman Holidays are basically like margaritas, but better in my opinion. So refreshing on a sunny day! We also ordered burrata to split among the 4 of us - it comes with bread + apparently they make the burrata based on seasonal ingredients, and this time, there was apple butter involved. Oh my goodness, so yum. I just wish we had more of it! For pizza, I got the Hot Chick while my husband got the Sausage & Pepper. I usually don't love this style of pizza, but this pizza was amazing! The ingredients and the dough just tasted so fresh and delicious. We'll be back again soon, I'm sure!

We had a great dinner at Pizza Cortile, started with the puffy bread and pimento cheese. Had a pepperoni pizza and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was awesome . The service was very attentive even though they were very busy. Highly recommend.

This place was incredible. I was in town just for the weekend and wanted to find the best pizza in Chattanooga and this lived up to the hype. It's an inconspicuous little building, but the pizza will blow you away. The crust particularly was noteworthy as it was soft inside though with the perfect crunch on the outside, and incredibly tasty all the way through. I would 10/10 recommend this place.

To start. The location is close to the road but there's plenty of parking for the restaurant. As soon as you walk in you instantly feel taken away to comfortable backyard setting. I chose to sit outside and was very comfortable. Our server was so kind and really made us feel comfortable. The whole staff was so attentive to us and we consistently had people checking in making sure we had everything we needed! The food was fantastic and really a great price! Our drinks were unique and delicious and overall fun! My only comment is I felt as if the Nutella rolls needed more marshmallow or something else to pair with the chocolate. I'm definitely planning on making more stops here for date night and trying out their seasonal items!

Pizza was huge on crust, little toppings, just not worth the $. Staff wasn't friendly, barely spoke, very noisy, once & done.

Great pizzeria! Had a large togo order and they had my whole order perfect! Pizza was delicious. Had a great gluten structure. Crust was . Only thing I'd say they're lacking in is the topping department. Other than that, this is a great spot.

Bit pricey but it's my favorite pizza in Chattanooga along with community pie. Cool atmosphere too, small rustic place. They have specials too so check their instagram for beautiful pictures and descriptions. Everything- pizza salads desserts bread- all great!

Low quality food, and the management was very rude. I will not be coming back here again, just about any other pizza joint in chatt would do 10 times better

This is the best pizza in Chattanooga. Full stop. At the same time, everything they make is great. Whether it is the arancini, the weekly burrata, the Sunday dinners, or the desserts everything is great. The setting and service is casual but solid. Never had any complaints. The pizza is worth the drive.

Honestly a little disappointed in the food. It's decent but I expected more based on ratings. It's not bad - it's just not great for the money. Like maybe they cannot maintain quality idk. These are personal pizzas that are pretty small. The crust stays nice and doughy and chewy (not crunchy thankfully) but it's just a little blah - needs something else on it like seasoning or butter idk or maybe if they offered a cup of marinara it would be worth it to dip it into. I just felt like half the time I was chewing on the plain crust. Barely any sauce so the pizza was pretty dry. And I don't like too much sauce. My friend ordered the Potato Head which had a little better flavor. The toppings were not spread far enough to the edge for such a small pizza on either. I think I had something called hot Hawaiian and it was okay - just kinda boring. Canned pineapple was flat tasting. It was a little spicy but flavors just weren't complex enough to make me say I want to go back tomorrow. I think they could step it up a notch with stronger flavors and better prep/use of the pizza dough. Just my two cents for them to stay in business. I wanted better. It's good but could be great. Maybe next time will try something else. I think there's better pizza down the road unfortunately.

This place has been so hyped up and it's rare to get seemingly authentic Neapolitan style pizza in these parts, but we were just underwhelmed. Ordered: Sausage & Peppers, Sweet Thai Chicken, Hot Hawaiian, Chorizo Pie, Nutella rolls The sausage was sparse and the peppers were uncut and slimy making an awkward bite; the Thai flavors were there but each bite tasted like its separate parts instead of a cohesive pizza; the Hawaiian was fine; the chorizo pie was surprisingly bland and burnt (like visibly burnt all over). The Nutella rolls were the biggest disappointment though. The pastry was delicious - basically a triangular beignet type dough - but the "Nutella" on top was a thin, watery mixture that tasted exactly like chocolate pudding mix and not at all like Nutella. I have no reason to think our pizzas sat before being served as it was a slow-ish Sunday afternoon and our server seemed competent, but it was not close to hot and the cold tin plate it came on didn't help. The place is adorable, the service was friendly, but I doubt we'll drive to Red Bank and pay that amount again considering. Also, in this day and age, having to pay a credit card convenience fee was a bit bizarre.

Delicious Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizza. I got the Margherita pizza which has red sauce, fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil, and salt. The sauce was amazing with its fresh tomato taste. I also got a couple Mozzarella Arancini. Very tasty. I called in my order to take out and it was ready when I arrived. The service was great and the two servers I spoke with were very friendly and quick with a laugh at my corny joking. I highly recommend this Red Bank gem.

I have been coming to Pizzeria Cortile for years. The food is impeccable and pretty unbeatable. But recently I've had a change of heart. Almost every time I go I have been receiving bad service. And I'm pretty sure it's because me and my friends are teenagers and they automatically assume we are not going to tip good. (Which is not true). But one of the biggest factors for me was that they use the same pizza cutter for all the pizzas the entire night. I am somebody with allergies and intolerances to certain foods that go on some of the pizzas they offer. And I could've sworn I tasted meat or other things on my pizza. Turns out it is just the pizza cutter that has cut through multiple pizzas with different toppings. This is concerning because this could be dangerous to somebody with severe allergies as this is cross contamination. They don't put it in water, they don't wipe it off, they don't do anything to clean the pizza cutter in between uses. In my opinion, this is disgusting. Please do something to fix this because I have always loved Pizzeria Cortile and I would hate to have to stop coming.

Pizza was overcooked, service was poor. Will not be back. Wait was long. Definitely not worth the hype.

Excellent pizza!! Beautiful outdoor space, and great service even in a rush! Definitely a new favorite.

Excellent service and pizza! It was so good I dove right in without snapping a pic. Now I have to go back! Best pizza in town. Salad was super fresh!

So I ordered wings to go and they forgot my ranch and blue cheese, BUT for the first time in the history of wings IT DIDN'T MATTER!!!! OMG, the wings are phenomenal!!! As is the pimento and puffy bread. The hot chick. The chorizo pie. The hot Hawaiian. The only problem with this place is that it's....ummm...January 4th and this place helped me decide that New Year's resolutions are lame. Eat up, buttercup!!!!

I was very excited to try this place. The building is small, sleek and warm. My food was very tasty but was lacking. I ordered the Bianca 12" pizza and the flavors were great but the middle of my pizza was so thin I could see through it, so the cheese and topping became quickly cold and hard. What I got with the dough was mainly crust. I don't mind thin pizza but not paper thin. I also ordered the Nutella rolls, these were super yummy. The menu said 6 and I was only given two so I paid for 6 but did not receive them all. Whoever made the rolls did not prepare them with care, Nutella was stabbed in the middle leaving a big whole where everything poured out. The flavors were great but what I received was disappointing.

Amazing food. Place is a little small and pretty loud but we enjoyed the food very much.

Delicious, authentic wood fired pizza. Best Margherita pizza I ever ate. Fresh, lovely salads...Caesar dressing is to die for. Arancini, cannoli superb. Go eat there!!

Pizzeria Cortile really saved the day for my Rehearsal dinner! We had reserved and planned to go to Tremont Tavern, but they "forgot" about us. The only place I could think of was Pizzeria Cortile! They were SO accommodating last minute. We gave them 20 minutes to seat 20+ people and they accompanied us in NO TIME. My husband and I use to go there all the time when we're dating and we will be forever customers. Thank you for saving our Rehearsal Dinner!!!!!!!

10/10! The food, service, and environment are fantastic! All of their pizzas are to die for and the ambiance is so warm and inviting.

Have been here 5+ times and each visit has been nothing short of terrific. Relaxed yet lively atmosphere and each pizza on the menu is its own unique experience. I hope to try them all! To boot, the service has always been friendly and fast. Would recommend!

The only reason I'm giving them 2 stars is because the food actually taste good. But the fact that I paid $36 for two pizzas the size of my hand is outrages. They need to figure out their prices or pizza sizes. Ya I busted out the tape measure and it only comes to 10 inches. Not 12.

Warm, cozy type feel. The wood fire oven pizzas are some of the best in town. Casual atmosphere and although it can be extremely busy at rush hour they're usually pretty quick to get you seated. Servers are always welcoming.

We had lunch here recently after moving from Chattanooga for a few years. The food here is still amazing! We are from the Northeast US, and a rather picky when it comes to rating pizza. This place does not disappoint! Nice chew to the crust, and they believe in using spices (a rarity in the South). Try the arancini or the burrata and puffy bread. Wish this place was closer!

Incredible pizza, even better service! Went on a Friday night with my family and the restaurant was understandably very busy. Our pizzas took a little while, but nothing crazy. Without us ever saying a thing they offered us complimentary Affogato for desert, which was unexpected but very nice! On top of our server being great, several other servers checked in on us through out our meal. Really great teamwork. I'll definitely be back :)

Such a cozy little restaurant. The pizza was amazing! Perfect size and the pricing is very fair. I had the tiramisu and didn't like it. Plus it was $9.. I'll be back for the pizza!

Excellent pizza and atmosphere! The pizza and beer were a perfect combo for a post ride refueling after Walden's Ridge MTB Park

Pizzeria Cortile This is the BEST Restaurant in Chattanooga I don't mean the best pizza place but the Best Place, period. I didn't discover this place right off when they open. I believe they had been open a year or year and a half before I did. Now it is one of my go to places. They are close to the house which helps or doesn't help depending on how you look at it. They have some of the best pizza I have ever tasted. They also have Sunday Night Dinners and you can't even explain it! They have had burger, Ramen, Fried Chicken. I haven't heard one negative this about them!! They also have an amazing and awesomely friendly staff!!! I cannot say enough about the staff!! The one that runs the front of the house, the hostess, waiters and waitresses, cooks! All of them! I only don't name them for their sake! Pizzeria Cortile in Red Bank is Amazing!! If you haven't been! GO!!!! And for sure you have to order the Buratta appetizer!!! Support Local and you won't forget it! https://www.pizzeriacortile.com

Their food is seriously incredible. I love coming here. Their service is always great and it's a cozy place to be. My ONLY feedback is that they now charge a 3.5% credit card fee. This is FINE. Just disclose this ahead of time so we can bring cash instead.

OMG. Best pie I have had in a long time. Nothing I've had locally can beat it. This amazing pizza had all fresh ingredients, from the dough to the mozzarella, tomatoes, garlic, basil and sauce. The pepperoni was generous and complimented the pie. I will be back to visit again.
