pie five

this place is new to me and to knoxville. i saw this while driving home one evening and added it to the list.
put simply: it's like a subway but with pizza. you can order a pre-fab item or have them top your pie with whichever ingredients you want.

it is all built right in front of you and immediately placed into an oven. cook time felt like six to seven minutes.
i ordered their version of the meat lovers with five meats: pepperoni, ham, bacon, italian sausage, and ground beef. k1 had pepperoni. we both added garlic. and we threw a side of bacon cheese bread onto our order.
the cheese sticks were a good idea! we found then to be extremely tasty as we nommed those puppies up in no time. totally recommend those!

the pizzas were also quite good. we both got thin crust. it reminded me of hard knox in both size of the pizzas and the type of crust, but i would rank hard knox above pie five. nevertheless, we both thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.

this is a good place to swing in for a lunch pizza or when headed somewhere and you don't have a lot of time to lose. you can eat leisurely, but it seems more geared for the on-the-go person. it would be great in turkey creek near the movies or down near campus.

we both liked it. i think we'd go back without reservation.
