Little Joe's Again

For well over a year, my niece and I have been questing around Knoxville for pizza joints to give them a try. I have been really amazed at how many pizza places exist in this town. (Our goal was to visit places which were pizza primary restaurants, not places which served pizza along with burgers and other main entreƩ types.)

K1 graduated from university this past December and is taking a job in a far away place. The location is far enough away to make these endeavors no longer regular. Since we were getting close to her departure time, I asked her for one last quest. I told her we could visit someplace new (our list still has venues yet not visited), or she could pick a place we have been before. Of all the places we've tried, she chose Little Joe's.

We first found Little Joe's almost a year ago. (Post here: https://knox-pizza-quest.blogspot.com/2017/02/little-joes-pizza.html) The memory of this place was the bread sticks. This time, I ordered sauce, and I really should have ordered extra. I recommend two orders of sauce for one basket of sticks for maximum enjoyment.

On our previous visit, we had ordered our own pizzas. This time, we ordered a single large pizza. The crust was outstanding, as usual. We kept it simple with pepperoni and extra cheese. I added bacon on my half. We threw down again. The to-go box had only a few pieces left by the time we called it quits.

I wish we had started this quest earlier than the fall of 2016. It has been such a fun time to find pizza places with Kiersten. I did tell her that she's going to need to find more pizza places wherever she visits for her job and report back. Who knows? Maybe I'll find my way out to where she is when she discovers the best-evar! And I hope to maybe try a few more on our list when she comes back for a visit.

Love you, kiddo!
