the hard knox experience

i had never eaten at hard knox pizza until yesterday, and now i am wondering why! they topped yelp's list of best pizza in knoxville (not that i yelp much).

k1 ordered a pepperoni and mozzarella while i picked the rocky balboa. the italian stallion had italian sauage (obviously), green and red peppers, and onions.

the crust was a good hand tossed, not to thick but a little more than thin. it was a good crust, and sauce...and cheese.
while k1 was still battling traffic to get to hard knox, they delivered my pie. i could smell it. it was good. and i was hungry!

i debated waiting but justified the need to test a slice while it was fresh. it was everything i thought it would be! all the flavors made me happy. and i did put the brakes on until k1 arrived.
the atmosphere was simple and relaxing. the music was all the stuff i grew up on when i was in high school, which made me happy. (i'm sure millennials would find it something to whine about, but i was singing along while i waited.)

totes recommends! top of yelp for realz!
oh, and i had worn my "you had me at let's order pizza" t-shirt that day!

finding good pizza

my niece and i decided we need to go a pizza quest around knoxville. since the notice that knoxville ranks third best city (in usa) for pizza, we should have plenty of options. turns out, there are about as many pizza places as there are mexican restaurants (well, maybe not that many).

this will be an awesome quest! we start today with hard knox pizza.

can't wait!
