Five Points Pizza
A fan favorite, Five Points Pizza offers New York-style twenty-inch pies and pizza by the slice. This no frills spot serves their pizza on paper plates, but the food itself is pretty darn good.

Emmy Squared Pizza
Made with King Arthur Organic Flour, Emmy Squared's Detroit-style pizza comes in two categories: red and white. Reds are topped with sauce and mozzarella while whites are topped with mozzarella. However, all pizzas can be made gluten-free using CUP4CUP GF Flour. Choose from favorites like the classic or the Nashville hot chicken, made with ‘Bama white sauce and chopped pickles, or make-your-own creation with toppings of your choice. emmysquaredpizza.com
Nicky's Coal Fired
Chef Tony Galzin’s coal fired pizzas are made in Tennessee's only coal burning oven, and while the pies are made in the style of a Napoletana pizza, the use of a coal burning oven rather than wood, makes them unique and a bit crispier. The pizza dough is made using Italian "00" flour, which is non-GMO and unbleached, too. The best part? Nicky’s offers $10 Tuesdays where all coal fired pizzas are just $10 for dine-in or carryout! nickysnashville.com
DeSano Pizzeria Napoletana

Options range from traditional to specialty, but all pies are made with Italian ingredients flown in weekly from Napoli and Campania. On Broadway and looking for a quick bite to eat? DeSano has a location in Assembly Food Hall, too. desanopizza.com
