Nicky’s Coal Fired
As it says on their name, Nicky’s has coal-fired pizzas. What’s interesting about this Nashville pizza spot is its oven.
Enrico, their coal-fired oven, is a unique oven that not many pizzerias use. That’s why their pizzas have a more distinct taste you might not find in other pizza parlors.
You can choose the red or white sauce or pick their daily special.

Top Review: “This is one of the best pizza spots in Nashville. I know there are tons of coal fine style joints in this city, but this one takes the cake. The crust is cooked to perfection leaving a little charcoal flavor but still fluffy and not burnt. The pizza topping combos are unique and delicious. Also can’t stress enough how awesome it is that they run a special for $10 pizzas every Tuesday!!” – Don F.

NY Pie
NY Pie has one of the best New York-style pizzas in Nashville, and that’s why it deserves a spot on our best pizza in Nashville lineup.
It’s a small, unassuming shop that’s a local favorite. In true New York fashion, you can get pizza-by-the-slice or a whole pizza made to order.

Could have used a little oregano but otherwise really enjoyed my cheese slices. Also reasonably priced!!! A large pie will cost you $18!!

Manny’s House of Pizza
Going to Manny’s House of Pizza can always get a smile on your face. They’ve got some of the most authentic New York-style pizza you can find in Nashville, and their staff is really friendly.
It’s a small lunch-only spot that looks like it’s been there forever (and it has!). Even their plain cheese pizza holds up well.
Manny’s is a bit of a hidden gem that’s mostly popular with the locals. You can find it in the Arcade downtown if you want to give it a try.

Top Review: “Back again and their food is still absolutely incredible with Manny himself making it. Locals love this place but if the tourists on Broadway knew what they were missing I guarantee this place would be even busier. This is the definition of a family-run restaurant and it shows in the quality of their food. They are a lunch-only place given their location, but if you make the trip you will not be disappointed.” – William K.
