Jaboni's Pizzeria Kingston Pike

"My husband wanted to try a bunch of pizza places we have not been to in Knoxville and this was the first in his list. We arrived and were seated quickly. The server was nice. We asked what was popular and they mentioned a few items. The kids shared a mozzarella stick kids meal and the margarita pizza. The margarita pizza barely had any cheese. I get that it’s fresh mozzarella but at least have a thin layer covering the whole thing. You can see from the picture it’s mostly blotches of sauce (very thinly spread) and not many toppings. The large Original Special pizza was just okay. My husband said it needed more sauce and I have to agree. The best food items out of the food we ordered were the mozzarella cheese sticks and garlic cheese bread. It’s way too expensive for what you get. We paid $100 for 4 (2 adults and 2 kids - 7&9) for our food when you include a tip and were less than satisfied."

"Our new favorite pizza place! I had a calzone and hubby had pizza. Yummy crust on both. Generous portions. Lots of take home leftovers. Our server, Dillon was very friendly and efficient. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure."

"We really enjoyed our meal at Jaboni’s last night. The waitress was great and explained all of the crust options. They have about anything you would want as far as pizza styles and Italian dishes goes. Highly recommend. We will be back for sure!"

"We saw a billboard sign for this place on our way up to Gatlinburg that said “A Slice of Long Island.” I’m from Long Island, naturally we had to give this place a shot and I’m so glad we did! The food was the closest I’ve had to New York pizza since moving to Middle Tennessee almost 7 years ago. It’s not your typical pizzeria. It’s closer to authentic home cooking than even your local Long Island pizzeria. We ordered garlic knots and they were incredible. I wish they were a little doughier, but the taste was fantastic. We ended up ordering a second order of these to bring home with us. I ordered the Neapolitan pizza and my husband ordered grandma’s. The Neapolitan was good, but not large enough to get a good fold and the crust was way crispier than I would have liked. The taste of the sauce on the pizza was okay, but the grandma’s pizza was way better in taste. We also ordered the baked penne and it was so good! It tasted like going to a family member’s house that had cooked baked ziti. Even pizzerias on Long Island don’t have this good pasta for take out! Overall I’m blown away by the quality of this place. The staff was friendly and the place was clean. Hope they open more locations across Tennessee!"

"Our food was ok. The lasagna came out hot but wasn't too impressive. It was a nice option to have the pizza by the slice, but it just didn't make me want more. Unfortunately, my toddler did not like the pizza at all. The truffle fries just taste like fries with grated parmesan and were served with ketchup. The restaurant was clean. We were waiting quite a while to be greeted by a server even though we were one of 2 tables in the store."
