Great place. Staff was friendly. Food was pretty good. Wide selection of pizza. Salad bar And desert pizza. With pasta, tator rounds and even pigs in a blanket. The employees shirts were awesome, Cute and positive sayings on them. ( would have loved to buy 1 but didnt see any for sale) Played Christian music , ( awesome). The decor on the wall was hilarious. The manager ( maybe owner, not sure) looked extremely professional and worked just as hard if not harder the the staff. ( I was very impressed).. You could definitely tell everyone cared about the place and what they do there.. and for a buffet, I was shocked at the price. Extremely affordable. ( 2 buffets and 2 drinks, under $34.00) I live 8 hours away from this location, but will definitely make it a staple location stop when

Because we were traveling we happened to end up here on Valentine's Day. It was very busy but the manager and staff handled it like it was just another Saturday night. The staff was excellent. They were constantly cleaning, refilling the salad bar, wiping down tables, sweeping the floor, and obviously putting out pizzas. Everything was excellent. I was extremely impressed at how well run this Pizza Inn was. I'm assuming it was the manager who was sitting everyone and he was extremely attentive and keeping an eye on everything.

My husband has been eating here since he was a kid, and it's still one of his favorite places! He and the teenagers got the buffet as usual. I have Celiac, so I was very pleasantly surprised today to have lots of options for myself! Apparently the owner has a family member with celiac, so the owner and staff truly understand how to safely prepare a GF pizza for someone with celiac! There isn't a menu, per se, but they can tell you which of their sauces and toppings and GF and you can take it from there! I obviously could not eat from the buffet, but my chicken bacon ranch pizza on a GF crust was EXCELLENT! This is probably the best GF crust I've had. Even my teenagers said the crust was "perfectly fluffy" and the pizza was delicious. Usually when they try my GF option, I get comments like

Highly recommend, best pizza buffet I've been to in East Tennessee so far! Great food, hot and fresh, lots of options (unique options too). Clean and nice decor. Great service, very friendly management, servers and cooks. Good price ($12.55 adult lunch buffet) that includes a salad bar, spaghetti, penne alfredo pasta, and lots of pizzas and dessert pizzas. Will definitely be back!

Food awesome, service great, and wonderful atmosphere. I am an RN in home health and several of my senior patients utilize Pizza Inn to celebrate birthday once a month. The workers put them on the calendar and treat them with the utmost respect. Highly recommend
