Whether you’re traveling to the Great Smoky Mountains with the whole family, your best buds, or a special someone, you can look forward to amazing food options for every meal of the day. When you really want to treat yourself to the best of the Smokies, head straight for Big Daddy’s Pizzeria Pigeon Forge. Located on the Pigeon Forge Parkway, this pizza joint is incredibly convenient and will easily win over your whole group with its world-class pizza pies.
We know that a slice of pizza is the answer to all of your hangry moments. But what makes Big Daddy’s Pizzeria so awesome? This pizza joint doesn’t make just any kind of pie. Big Daddy’s specializes in Neapolitan-style pies, which means you can expect a slightly crispy crust with just the right amount of chew. The one-of-a-kind brick oven helps the pizza experts — or pizzeoli — get their pies just right. They bake every pizza to perfection over a wood-fired, 550-degree flame.
You won’t find premade pizzas here, and you won’t find freezers, either. That’s because Big Daddy’s Pizzeria Pigeon Forge prides itself on making everything by hand, from the sauce to the crust. The red sauce is homemade using Big Daddy’s secret recipe, and the dough is made in-house. After pulling the handcrafter dough, the pizzeoli top each pie with your choice of fresh ingredients.
While you can definitely build your own delicious 10-inch or 14-inch pizza, Big Daddy’s Pizzeria also has its own list of amazing pies. From classic cheese and pepperoni to mouth-watering creations like Meatball Mania, Smoky Mountain Cheesesteak, and Wing It, this pizza joint has just what you’re craving.
Hungry for something other than pizza? Big Daddy’s Pizzeria still has you covered. This spot’s extensive menu also features wood-fired sandwiches like Big Daddy’s Submarine, Ham & Cheese, and Chicken Alfredo. Want to lighten up? You can do that here, too, with the House Salad or the Garden Salad. Don’t forget to save room for dessert, either. You’ll find plenty of Neapolitan-inspired sweets on the menu, like cannoli and Cappuccino Mousse Cake.
