Goodfellas Pizzeria Chattanooga

Chattanooga, TN

The 22-inch pies are genuinely foldable with a crisp underside and a slightly sweet sauce. Pepperoni cups and crisps well, a good sign of proper baking temperature.

Italian-American

Lupi's Pizza Pies

Chattanooga, TN

The medium-thick crust bakes evenly with a good balance of char on the bottom. Their red sauce is herby without being sweet, and toppings are portioned generously.

Il Primo Pizza
