We love it there!!! We ate there for the first time last year. I can't remember what I had but it was good but the only thing that ticked us off was is it says unlimited refills on their pop & I got charged for a refill. I can't wait to go back & eat there
@CaseyJolliffe12 I'm sorry that happened to you. I don't understand why they would advertise free refills, and then charge you. I believe I would have brought that up to the server. But yes, we agree that it is a great place to eat. Hope you get to go back soon.
This is a good review of Best Italian. We have eaten at the Best Italian on the parkway. We have not been inside this one. I would have to agree the crust looks a little over done. I know we have had pizza from the wood fired ovens that looked over done but they were fine. The sound of the crunch on your pizza tells me it might be a little overcooked. The rest of your food looks delicious. We hope you enjoyed your meal. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I love Best Italian in Elks Plaza. I usually get either spaghetti or lasagna but I might have to try the stuffed shells. That looked delicious. And the garlic knots are to die for. Thanks for your great review.
@patriciahurley1867 Thank you for watching! We are glad that you enjoy eating there when you come to Gatlinburg. It really is a great place. God bless y'all, as well.
We love this place. Their lasagna is amazing and so cheesy. No such thing as 'too much cheese' in my opinion! We have had the pizza several times and love it. I definitely think yours was over done. We have never had one with black on the bottom.
Don’t know if I told you this but in Knoxville there’s a restaurant called Wild Boar Tavern. It’s owned by Howard’s/ best Italian. The menu is a combination of both restaurants. It’s a fairly large restaurant. We found it by accident when my wife’s father was in the hospital in oak ridge. The address is 950 E. Emory road, Knoxville There’s also a wild wing cafe near there that has fantastic food. Also buddy’s bbq, cheddars scratch kitchen and Aubrey’s too.
@JeffMcNeil-br549 The manager told us they had a restaurant in Knoxville, but I don't think she gave us the name. We just assumed it was another Best italian.
I love Italian but like you Derrick i like a soft crust on pizza not a crispy crust. We have never been here. It seems like every time we go to the smokies we always go back and eat at the same places. We will have to try this place sometime. Thanks for the review.
@smokymountainman4964 You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it. This is a pretty highly-rated Italian restaurant in Gatlinburg. We've enjoyed both of our visits there.
That's a matter of personal preference. We both love the restaurant, but it is okay for people to like their pizza crust differently. There is no set "it should be".
@dpmart3275 I know lots of people like it. And I believe I would have liked it, had they not cooked the crust too long. Once I heated it up later in the microwave, it was softer.
Great review of this Italian Restaurant. Thanks for sharing it with us !! Both of your meals looked delicious😊
@sharonspivey781 It's a great place. If you're in Gatlinburg, it's definitely worth a try.
It sounds yummy 😋❤ have a great day
You cracked me up with your bottom pizza comment😅. I enjoy your videos!
@judymclaughlin6993 Yes, that completely came out wrong...LOL. But, I left it in because it was funny.

Nice place. Food looked very delic.
Years ago I baked the desserts there. Italian Cream Cake and Tiramisu. Chocolate cheesecake was also popular
@TeachingHisWord Nice! I didn't know you worked there. I didn't know you ever worked right in Gatlinburg. I remember you working in Pigeon Forge.
@NCMemoryMakers I baked at home and delivered it very early in the morning.

I'm a thin crust pizza person, love a good pizza supreme with anchovies. Yummy.

Alfredo sauce is my favorite ❤😊
Italian has always been my weakness. I bet it's cold in the mountains. ❤❤😊
@cathymcgee1674 Yes, it sure has been cold. This is a great Italian restaurant.
A pizza crust should be crunchy. I love that restaurant.

It’s cold here in North Carolina 🥶🥶🥶🥶
Yes, it sure is. We are in Western North Carolina.
To me thats the best pizza in the Smokeys me and my Wife found it in the corner snowing bad weather but they were open years ago great pizza

Where is Elk Plaza? I can't picture where that is. Looks good!! Love the snowfall at the end❤
I guess you haven't gone home yet ❤😢🎉
