We got the pizza to go, but definitely seemed like it had a cool atmosphere. The food itself was some of the best pizza around...if you like deep dish

Great service and atmosphere! I was genuinely surprised at what a great vibe this place has when I walked in. Very similar to a Buffalo Wild Wings with big screen TVs and sports on screens throughout the restaurant. I have lived in Hardin Valley for years and tried this place for the first time tonight and was surprised at the size of the place (it looks much smaller from the road). Our waitress was great and very attentive. 11/10. 10/10 for atmosphere. The pizza is VERY bready, and I didn't enjoy it too much. 5/10 on pizza. We got an order of wings and they were tasty. 7.5/10 on wings. I would go here more often if there was better crust for the pizza. Overall a great experience.

I would give no stars if I could. Don't go here! They gave us moldy pizza and cheese bread, and were not apologetic about it! If you value your health you won't eat here. We are disgusted.

Stefano's Pizza is a Knoxville Icon. I was worried that they were all going away and was delighted to find that they opened a new storefront in Hardin Valley. My family and I enjoy trivia here on Wednesday evenings. It completely fills up so get there early for a table. You won't find more authentic Chicago style pizza anywhere else in town. Love the special, Windy City, and Lady Vol just to name a few of the pizza's. They also have excellent salads or so I'm told. My wife like the Rocket Salad (the one with beets). Great local beer on tap as well.

Got the Thursday Pizza special and all the bread was stale and the pizzas had mold on the bread. Have had their pizza before and this wasn’t the case. Would not recommend the Thursday pizza special.

All through my childhood, high school, and college years, Stefano’s on the strip was far and away my favorite pizza place. Sadly, it closed after the building was sold. The other day, I was craving some Stefano’s, so I went here thinking it would be about the same. It wasn’t. This place is nowhere near as good. The original Stefano’s loaded the pizza down with sauce, and had a fairly normal amount of cheese. This place went a different (worse) direction. Hardly any sauce at all. There were multiple bites in each slice that had no discernible sauce whatsoever. It was more like cheesy bread than pizza. The cheese was as thick as the crust. Way too much. Atmosphere and service were fine, but I wouldn’t go back since the pizza just isn’t good. I’d rather just eat Domino’s than the subpar pizza offered here.
