Smokey's Pizza of Maryville, TN

In this one little town, there are over 3 Smokey's Pizza locations. It shouldn't surprise you that Tennessee is a hot spot for regional pizza chains. However, there's only so much pizza that I can responsibly purchase and eat. The ratio of Smokey's pizza is 3cr/2ce/2ch.

Their CRUST gets a 4 out of 5. It tastes like the bread your mom might have made with her bread making machine on special occasions. A lot of pizza joints don't cook their pizzas long enough. Smokey's does. Their slices are not only foldable, but they are chewy and gooey. Good crust. Their SAUCE gets a 3 out of 5. While you can clearly see the sauce where the cheese meets the outer crust, it fails to make much of a mark on the pizza. While good, their sauce is somewhat thin and sparing.

For STYLE, I'll give Smokey's a 3 out of 5. The pizza itself is unremarkable, but I like the Smokey's vibe. My medium cheese pizza was fourteen inches, a generous medium, and really cheap. And while specializing in pizza, Smokey's offers all kinds of other cheap take-out style foods, like burgers, fries, gyros, tenders, and poppers. It's nice when ordering from one place, to have the option of adding something other than boring sticks and expensive wings. For OVERALL QUALITY, Smokey's gets a 4 out of 5. They're not trying to mess around. This gives Smokey's a score of 70%; definitely worth checking out.
