Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Far and away the best pizza in Nashville. The daily slice is always on point. I mean seriously, they do it right. The crust is always the deal breaker on most pizza and this crust is perfection. Great bar, 16 taps that rotate all the time with mostly local or border state brews. 2 nitro taps. Staff is super nice and a pretty hip crew that is obviously proud of what they're serving. Never been disappointed and I bet I never will. Stellar, absolutely stellar.

Fast service, decent pizza (I'm a Chicago native so my standards are quite high!) and they gave the kids dough balls to play with, which was an unexpected treat. Our waitress was around a lot and helped quite a bit. She gave us a great dessert recommendation and told us about a local park for the kids too. Very nice place and more family friendly than expected!
(4)Andres B.
The Habanero Cream Sauce pie is one of the best pizza pies you'll ever eat. It's a gourmet style approach, fairly thin crunch crust, and bursting with flavor. Wait staff was great, price was also reasonable, and the garlic knots (although not as mind blowing as the pie) were more than legit. If you're a Nashville resident or just passing through, check out 5 points.
(5)Kelly H.
Super friendly service from all. Great thin crust and a nice on tap selection. Loved it
(4)Heath C.
This place is easily one of the best deals in Nashville. The pizza here is insanely good. After reading all the positive reviews, I was expecting an amazing piece of pizza and they delivered (Not meant as a pizza joke) At $3.25 for a massive slice of cheese pizza, this is a great deal, especially for the area. The area is great around the restaurant, plan to spend a few minutes walking around.
(5)Tami G.
Great place for relaxed atmosphere yet friendly professional staff and awesome food! Garlic knots are perfect balance of buttery/salty yumminess. Pizza was thin crust, I liked it more than expected. We had plenty leftover from our two 14" pies to take with us, just two of us. I recommend it as a great place.
(5)Courtney S.
I moved here from Austin, Texas and in Texas there is a place called Homeslice that is the best pizza and my most favorite. Until this place. This place is amazing!!! It's so delicious, its pretty quick, and it has a fantastic beer selection!!!!! We came on a Sunday a little after lunch. Got right in to a table, quickly got our beers, and our came not too long after that. We shared a slice of pepperoni and the Stromboli. Amazing. I know I keep using that word but it really is. It even has an area if you just want to grab a slice real quick and eat. Try this place!!!!
(5)Bridget H.
A new pizza favorite of mine is born! The Good: The pizza and the knots are delicious! Try the slice of the day. The Bad: At 3pm the service was slow. At least we missed the lines and wait, but still not a great excuse for inattentive, lagging waiters. The Verdict: I'll definitely make the trip there from Franklin for a slice.

I love finding more great places for a great meal in Nashville. One thing I love about my family is that we're generally all game for exploring and giving a new place a try. Last night was no different. First we started off with ice-cream at Pied Piper Creamery before dinner (because you know that just can't be done #notarule @EscapeAdulthood) but ended up staying around in East Nashville looking for a new place to try. We saw a few different people walking by us with pizza boxes and pizza started to sound better and better. We quickly pulled up Yelp on my phone and found Five Points Pizza was just around the corner. Based on the 45 minute expected wait it looked like this was going to be a pretty good place for picking up some pie! Expectations not disappointed! Sometimes pizza for my family can be a challenge. You see I'm adventurous and like to get some pretty interesting combinations, my wife can be a little adventurous and my kids usually prefer just a plain slice of cheese or pepperoni pizza. Five Points didn't disappoint because they offer NY style pizza by the slice or you can order some great specialty pizzas in a 14" or 18" size. My wife decided on the South Brooklyn (The Old World with an olive oil base, a full layer of pizza sauce, and basil baked in (no shredded mozzarella), my daughter got a single cheese slice (but wanted a 2nd before we left!), my son got a single pepperoni slice and I went with a slice of Meatball Pie (Fresh and shredded mozzarella, thinly sliced meatballs, red onions, garlic) and I believe a slice of Caprese (Sliced heirloom tomatoes, chopped basil, sweet house-made balsamic reduction, olive oil, fresh and shredded mozzarella (no tomato sauce) - but I think it also had some arugula and gargonzola cheese as well). You see in addition to the cheese and pepperoni by-the-slice, they seem to also have a couple of different daily options available. I started with the Meatball and it was delicious, not sure why I'd never really thought about thin-slicing some meatballs and adding them to a pizza but it was fantastic. I was actually a little surprised when I tried my 2nd slice and decided I liked it even more. We'll be adding this to our list of places to take friends and family when they visit and of course we'll be back again ourselves soon. I've definitely got to go back and try the Habanero Cream Sauce Pie! (House-made habanero cream sauce, bacon, oven-roasted grape tomatoes, red onions, roasted garlic, fresh basil, fresh and shredded mozzarella (no tomato sauce)) A quick word on price, the individual slices of cheese and pepperoni were less than $4 each and were huge slices of pizza. My two specialty slices were both less than $5 each. So, overall some really tasty pizza for a great price. Note: ingredient descriptions in parenthesis taken directly from their website

Awesome pizza! Freshly made dough, fresh ingredients and cooked in a brick oven. I had the vodka sauce pizza, which was amazing. The crust is thin so it's not super filling and you can eat more slices. Seating inside is limited, but you can also go to the carryout side and order a pizza to go. They also have a few pizzas pre-made to try by the slice and grab a seat at the counter. Some of the best pizza I have ever had, and East Nashville neighborhood is an added bonus. Easy five star rating!
(5)Heidi B.
Great Pizza! Great Service! Had to wait about 10 minutes for a seat but it was worth the wait. Had pepperoni pizza and a large order of garlic knots. $37 for 4 people and we took a slice home with some garlic knots. Wish they had a Five Points in Pittsburgh!
(5)Melissa G.
Great pizza and garlic knots. We did the vegetarian pizza and it was great! We had Greek salad and house salad. The food was great. We came on a Saturday afternoon around 3 and the place was packed. We had about a 10 minute wait but it was worth it. Service was good too!
(4)Elliot E.
There's little I can say that hasn't already been said by others, so let me hit the highlights: - the only good thing to come out of New York was its pizza, and this place does it right. - parking around here is awful. - they are very attentive to kids; our threenager was given some pizza dough to keep her occupied and they cut up her slice into kid-friendly pieces so we didn't have to. - for a weeknight, this place was noisy. - get there early or expect to wait. - considering how busy it was, service was very good. I'm looking forward to return trips, especially to try the stromboli.
(4)Kristina W.
How have I never checked in here or reviewed it?? Easily my favorite pizza place in Nashville. Ok, the only pizza place in town that I visit. It's worth the 25 minute drive for me. Parking is a bitch, but that's a fact of life. It's a good lesson. Good things come to those who wait. That's another thing here. The waiting game. I hate it. But common sense, if you go during meal hours, you'll wait. I tend to go at 11 a.m. to beat the crowds. Rarely have I had to wait. There are a few times I've ordered side salads. They're not bad, but save your money as they are kind of pricey for their size. Indulge in garlic knots instead. They offer the knots in half and full orders. Personally I think a half order is stupid. Who does that? Get the full and take them home. Duh. The pizza is amazing. It's perfection. If you're in a hurry get a slice. They have a few standard slices every day as well as a slice of the day. Do it. If you have time to wait and want to prolong your experience at home get a whole damn pie. You won't regret it. Promise. Service is top notch. Seriously. Some times they're so busy it takes a few minutes to get service but they're competent so I don't care. I always see the owner buzzing around which makes me feel good. They also have a pretty decent beer selection, including locals. They have beer and slice specials too. Not bad.
(5)James M.
I love this place. The girlfriend and I usually make it over here about once or twice a month and it never disappoints. I'll keep it simple. Pros: Everything is delicious and they have some great special slices. Also, the beer list is pretty phenomenal and is a good cross-section of local and regional brews. Great value! Cons: It can get garlicky. I guess that's a con... I guess... Also, sometimes there's a wait as the seating is a little tight. Overall: Tasty pizza on the East Side with great specials. Go now!
(5)Joel L.
Pizza was very good, friendly and fast service. 3 stars because it made everybody's butt hole burn.. -Big Joel bachelor trip 2koh15
(3)Stephen C.
Best pizza in East Nashville and possibly the best Pizza. Five points and Joeys are on par with one another. Have been back and will continue to go back.
(5)Lisa S.
While visiting Nashville, I initially thought we would be seeking out only barbecue and hot chicken places, but this pizza place came so highly recommended, we had to take the ride over to five points to check it out. We walked in the quick slice to go side, not even realizing that there was a sit down option next door. I might have enjoyed a cold beer with my pizza if I knew we could dine in. The to-go side was packed and with no place to sit down so we ended up eating in the car. However, this pizza really was amazing. Perfectly thin crust pizza with high quality toppings. I had the vege pizza of the day which included vodka sauce, onions, mushrooms, spinach and fresh basil on top of the cheese. Really worth going back to again and again.
(4)Kimberly S.
Five Points Pizza has quickly become my favorite pizza in Nashville. It's always such a satisfying meal. I love their Bianca pizza (basically extreme cheese bread), while my husband likes plain ole pepperoni. The great thing about Five Points is that they will happily split the pie in half. They also offer great lunch specials. For $8, you can get 2 of their daily slices and a drink; for $9 you can get a 1/2 order of knots (five delicious garlic knots), a salad and a drink; or for $9 you can get a slice of pizza and a salad. As a note, I prefer their full pies to their slices because I feel as though they can sometimes dry out. Let's be honest though, the slices are still pretty good. The slice window is open late night, and they also serve up some great beers. There is really nothing better than beer and pizza.
(5)Heather B.
We were visiting from out of town and found them on Yelp and decided to try it out. We ordered a couple appetizers and a pizza and in less than 5 minutes we had the appetizers and then the pizza about 7-10 minutes later. Everything was delicious and amazing!! Service was great and the atmosphere was nice and relaxing. If we ever come back to visit we'll stop by for a meal! !
(5)Hank D.
Best pizza in all of Nashville hands down. I love to stay by to grab a pie to or just get a slice when walking by with the pups. The ingredients are amazingly fresh and the pizza is always cooked to perfection. I am fortunate to have this place so close to the house.
(5)Ashley T.
I've had five points several times now. Other than my first visit, all have been late nights at the pick up window. The pizza really is so awesome. I still want to dine in but this is a delicious and affordable option in leu of Taco Bell 4th meal.
(5)Chloe W.
Food was delicious, we got a split pizza and it was awesome. The drink selection was Great and we were seated quickly, but we walked by our waitress making fun of us on our way to restroom. definitely put a damper on the whole night - thanks for making us feel unwelcome :(

I recently attended a Nashville Food Bloggers event here. The owners were nice enough to close off the right hand side of the building and bring out pizza upon pizza for us to try. I tried the cheese (amazing), pepperoni (amazing) and a pepperoni, black olive, red onion and I think feta pizza (amazing and my fav). The staff was SUPER friendly and gave kitchen tours and even let us try to spin the dough with a rubber one they practice with. I love the decor and finishing of the restaurant. The left side has chairs and a bar and the right has some stools and counters. They even have a neat little walk up window if you want to get a slice on the go. I didn't look at the prices of the pizza, but I'd expect them to be reasonable. My only grips are about parking and price of the keg wine. I know parking in East Nashville is always a pain, but the night we went we had to park a few blocks away and walk. On the way back to the car I was thing it was all for the best because of the amount of pizza I ate. Secondly, the keg wine. As you're aware, I was at a special event and we were offered free pizza and half off beer on draft and keg wine. They have a butternut (white) and a troublemaker (red). I got the troublemaker and it came in a cute (small) little carafe with a glass on top. It was nice. It cost me $4.37, so full price would be $8.75. That seems a little pricey for a keg wine in a small glass.
(4)Jake L.
Made it my New Years resolution to eat more pizza. This place sets the bar when I'm judging everyone else's pizza. Keep up the rockin pizza five points and thank you for making my life more enjoyable!
(5)Amanda F.
Seriously the best pizza I have ever tasted in my entire life!!! The crust is thin with just a slight crunch and you can taste the freshness in every ingredient they use. Not much selection but when you pick out a slice they warm it up for you. Wish they had more seating.
(4)Aya E.
At Five Points, you have the option of sitting down and eating inside the restaurant, ordering in their "kitchen" area and sitting at a bar and eating, OR ordering at the window and taking your pizza to go (I'm not sure if window ordering is available all the time). I love that they give you so many options to grab a slice. They also offer a great daily special slice, both in meat and vegetarian options. I've had their veggie pizza with vodka sauce and fresh basil and it was hands down one of THE best slices I've ever had, and I lived in New York for a few years. Their whole pies are massive; I ordered a half pesto and half Supreme pie in 18" for Mother's Day and it was huuuuuge. Their pizza is fresh, hot, and delicious and made with high quality ingredients. Five Points' fresh basil game is on point. I have to say, though, that my favourite thing is the garlic knots: golden all over, crispy on the bottom, doughy and exquisite in the center, tossed in really good olive oil and lots of garlic and Parmesan, topped with fresh basil, and served with a side of their amazing marinara. They were so, so, SO good. I felt like I had major garlic breath for at least the next few hours, but it was absolutely worth it. My mom and I split a large order of garlic knots and ordered an 18" pie for Mother's Day....I would suggest splitting some knots and just ordering a slice or two each. They're very filling. Those garlic knots are SO STUPID GOOD that I would literally physically assault someone if they tried to take one away from me.
(5)Timothy R.
If you are in search of a great New York Style Pie then look no further than Five Points, I am always in search of the best slice of Pizza and in Nashville to date, Five Points has my vote. My definition of pizza is New York Style is the only pizza for me, Chicago Style isn't a pizza its a casserole, and then there's American pizza (Your ketchup flavored marinara with cheddar cheese and cardboard crust with canned toppings) then you have your specialty pizza with the crazy toppings which is fine for most Gentiles. The restaurant is typical small New York spot of which has not a lot of seating but is adequate. They seat you by taking your cell and calling you when a table is available. The few times I have been there, multiple tables are open and freshly cleaned by which no one is sat at them for 15-20 minutes minimum. So you stand by the bar looking at 3-4 empty tables betting which table you will get sat at. When you are finally called the service is great, and the food comes out promptly. I recommend getting the knots a large pie and some cold beers you won't be disappointed.
(4)JD C.
What Sucks: Finding parking, waiting for a table. What Doesn't Suck: Everything else. Our family visited with friends to this pizza place after not being able to get a table at Pharmacy Burger, and left feeling like we found a gem. The pizza was great, waitress was fantastic, and garlic knots were worth the visit alone! We'll totally visit again!
(5)Em F.
Service was great. The waitresses are really sweet and attentive. Parking is truly a nightmare, though. If you're lucky you'll find a spot nearby. If not, be prepared to park-n-walk. The atmosphere is nice enough. It's a little rundown looking on the inside, but it is a bar after all. Ordered garlic knots and a simple pepperoni pizza. The garlic knots were great. Hot, fresh, and the fresh basil and minced garlic really just brought some amazing flavors to the game. The marinara sauce is freshly prepared and tastes like real tomatoes... Not something out of a can. The pizza was great! Enough for myself and my husband for two meals. The meat was high quality, tender, and delicious. The sauce, again, was fresh, sweet, and spiced just right. Next to DeSano's Bakery, Five Points is my favorite pizza place.
(5)D M.
Fast friendly service, packed at 6:45. The garlic knots are huge, that is half order in my pic. I'm had the zues Stromboli. Nice dough, fresh flavorful fillings. The marinara sauce is not to sweet. Great beer selection.
(5)Kelly Ann W.
LOVE this place! Especially at 2:00 In the morning when you gotta stand on the street to eat your pizza. Nothing better when your buzzin! Awesome NY style pizza- that from a northern NJ girl!
(5)G I.
No wonder they have been awarded best pizza in Nashville 3 years running! Ordered half Zeus half Vodka Sauce. Wish I could try the others! Pickup window right outside on the sidewalk away from the sit down area. Fresh ingredients! Would highly recommend! Thanks Jackie for taking our order over the phone.
(5)Loralyn D.
One of the best pizza places in Nashville. There are a lot of unique pizzas so if you can't decide, ask for half one pizza and half another. The pizzas are not cheap, but I still feel like it's worth every penny. The garlic knots are also delicious. You can order a piece from the street or sit down inside the restaurant. There aren't as many options when you order from the street, but it's a good option if you want just a slice. Inside has a hipster vibe, staff is friendly, and there can be a good wait on the weekend. My only complaint is it's hard to find parking. There is $5 parking (2 hour limit) across the street if you give up finding free parking. Highly recommend!
(5)Nikke R.
I never liked thin crust pizza until I tried Five Points Pizza. The crust is phenomenal, the sauce is perfectly seasoned, the pepperoni is crispy and delicious and the cheese is perfect! Hands down, best pizza in Nashville.
(5)Michelle K.
So delicious. Hot cheese, fresh toppings, creative flavors, crispy crust--it's just EVERYTHING I want in a slice of pizza. It's probably a good thing I live 12 hours away!
(5)Thomas B.
So far I have yet to find something I do not like here. They have great happy hour specials during the day with variations of a beer and a slice. The slices are big, pretty fresh and a unique combo of toppings daily. On the 5th of the month they have a habanero sauce pizza that is awesome. I highly suggest visiting for a slice on the 5th.
(5)Adam S.
We walked up to this place right at opening and were greeted with a big smile. The beer was cold and the pizza was delicious. I'm a simple man so I ordered pepperoni and cheese but I tell you that pizza was perfect in my eyes. Crunchy, cheesy and ohhhhh soooo tasty. Wash it all down with a cold Yazoo beer and this was a great stop.
(5)J Lester S.
I've traveled all over the country, and any time I see a pizza place that says they have "real NY pizza" I have to try it. I'm married to a Brooklyn girl, so I know the real thing, and when most restaurants make that claim it's as if they've never even HAD a slice of NY pizza. Five Points is one of the few places I've found that has it nailed. If it's genuine, you don't need any toppings, and their cheese slice is perfect. Just the right size so two for lunch is perfect, and the sauce, cheese, crust, all A-number-one. I will be returning. Often!
(5)Cate H.
Great pizza! Great garlic knots! The staff? Slow and slower. Oh well.... call ahead and get take out the pizza is yummy!
(4)Marcus B.
The pizza here was pretty f#$@ing good. Don't get me wrong- I still think Old Chicago has the best tasting pizza. However, since I don't think there is an Old Chicago in Nashville, It's OK to say that Five Points Pizza is the best tasting pizza that I've had in Nashville. The prices are reasonable and the pizzas are huge. I love that you can split a pizza with two different choices for each side. I like the different combinations as well as the speciality pizzas. I came at a time where business was slow so that worked out great for us. Service was good and the food was great. I'd definitely come by and I would bring friends, too.
(5)Melissa B.
Okay last week, on Sunday 12-7, Tony and I went again..I love the pizza here and then Noel and I was out today, and YES I had to go again!!! I always enjoy getting whatever pizza they have on special by the slice..I like trying new ones...Last Sunday it was a marinara sauce with feta cheese, green peppers and black olives ...not bad..but today it was a white pizza with Vodka sauce, green peppers, black olives, spinach and mozzarella cheese. I love the Abeta Root Beer made in Louisiana... If you can only eat pizza in one place in Nashville, this place is a must!! I love it here!!! I love the food, I love the location, and I love the servers...I love parking a few blocks away and strolling to the location..I love it!!!! The garlic knots are a favorite too!! Can't wait for my next visit...
(5)Sir Funky P.
Never been there before midnight...so I'm not sure if this is the drunk me talking or the pizza is just that good....but this place serves up a dank slice.
(5)Amy C.
Five Points about Five Points Pizza: 1) If Nashville Yelp CM Johnny T. says it is worth checking out then it is so. 2) As forewarned, it was hipster infested. (Nashville has hipsters?) 3) When they say your pick up pizza will be ready in 30 min., they really mean 15 min. 4) I don't get why the pick up window was closed and the girl at the counter kept referring to me as "ma'am." 5) The 14" 1/2 Supreme and 1/2 Veggie Pizza for our night in and early bedtime was on point. (Hmm, maybe this is why I am now a ma'am...)
(4)Sincere R.
Pretty good pizza. Glad to have a joint that serves pie by the slice. They have some very interesting daily combos. Today I tried spinach, mushroom, Gorgonzola... Definitely worth your time. Sauce isn't that great but a decent slice. (Maybe a little biased with my NY ties)
(3)Robert P.
Fantastic. I look forward to going back and trying other options on the menu. House salad was large enough to be shared. A half order of garlic knots brought us an order of of 4 very large knots, covered in garlic, and a side of marinara. They were fantastic. Pizza was great. I went the easy route of just plain cheese, but I look forward to more creative orders in the future. Everyone said this place is great and they were right. Only suggestion, if you are dining in, try to get there before 6pm or there will be a wait. Regardless, I would have waited if I needed to.
(5)Dimpal P.
Love this place! Amazing food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service! Simple food pizza, salad, calzone, cannoli, and beer! Love the concept of Tow separate entrance for Carryout and Dine in! Customers can order everything from the dine in menu from the carry out!
(5)Ben M.
Best pizza you can get in East Nashville, probably in all of Nashville. Decent atmosphere, good beer selection. They have a rotating by the slice selection every day, one meat, one veggie, and I think cheese is available daily. The only problem I have with this place is that there seems to often be a wait. They have expanded the place recently though, hopefully that will helpfully fix the issue.
(5)Lisa H.
The perfect place for a bite after the bars! They're open late and have a walk up window. You can order pizza by the slice here. I had the cheese and my husband had the prosciutto/basil and we both thought the pizza was great. If you're bar hopping in East Nashville, be sure to make a stop here on your way home.
(5)Chris A.
This is the best Pizza in Nashville. Its the only place that counts. I love this place and support it completely. If you want New York Style pizza its the best. Wait times and seating may vary. Plan accordingly. With a new expanded seating area and Late night window! You cannot go wrong.
(5)Jeff K.
Let me preface this review with I was in town on business and I have experienced some of the best pizza there is to offer from NY to South FL. The PROS -pizza is fresh tasting -slices are big, delicious and just the right amount of grease -garlic knots are yum -friendly service -good beer selection, especially local brews -lots of pizza options and vegan/vegetarian friendly Th CONS -parking can be a bit of a pain -not the best for a large group Overall this place is amazing! If you're in Nashville it is a must go!
(5)Ali S.
Finally got to try this place out and was not disappoint. Loved the location as it is located next to a bunch of local bars. We got the garlic bread which was my favorite thing on their menu. Pizzas were were delicious as well. You can order a whole pie or get them by the slice. I highly recommend the Zeus pizza!
(4)Paige S.
I go here all the time. I always go here for the basil and prosciutto pizza and Greek salad. Great lunch specials!
(5)James A.
Worth the stop. The pizza was tasty, reliable, and safe. Nothing spectacular. No proprietary in-house sauces or anything. Your standard fare with crushed red pepper and parm shakers. However, it was overpriced. $39 for two 14 inch pies is a little steep for very little wow factor.
(3)Anthony N.
***Five Points is a good New York style pizza spot; it is located in a very hipster part of Nashville*** Nashville has many neighborhoods and a lot of them have their own feel. East Nashville is a very hipster, Portland-esque part of Nashville. There is a fun little collection of small and unique shops housed in little bungalow-esque buildings. There are also quite a few casual eateries in this area focusing on housemade food at reasonable prices. Five Points is one of these eateries. Five Points does not have the farm to table approach of many Portland restaurants (or maybe it just does not advertise that approach on its menu), but this pizza spot does showcase pizzas with housemade toppings as well as lots of beers in a rustic and casual atmosphere that has kept a lot of the previous building's brick and pipes exposed. Pizza can be made to order as big pies or you can order by the slice. They have a few always on the menu slices like cheese and pepperoni as well as some daily specials written on the chalkboard that feature interesting ingredients like habanero cream sauce. Their pizza by the slice is good. Their pizzas are big New York style thin crust pizzas that have a little bit of crispiness but also a good fold--great cheese and tomato sauce too. If Five Points was in Los Angeles, it would be one of the best spots for New York style pizza. It is less greasy than Mulberry and the crust is not too crispy like the crust at Joe's. It is similar to Vito's on La Cienega; it might even be better than Vito's. I also tried their stromboli. This is baked to order and calzone-esque (they have a few choices and they are inspired by some of their pizzas). I went with their sliced meatball, which also came with red onion, melted mozzarella and marinara sauce on the side. The bread was great; its was similar to a garlic knot. The bread had a great crispy crust that was also buttery while the center of the stromboli was soft. There was a lot of mozzarella too as well as a generous portion of sliced meatballs. I wish the sliced meatballs were full meatballs so I could have had a more true meatball experience, but the meatballs were still moist and had a good flavor. The well-seasoned, nicely chunky and not-too-sweet marinara sauce was necessary to balance out the overwhelming amount of melted mozzarella. Service was good--friendly, attentive and quick. Prices were reasonable. The stromboli was $8 and it was more than enough for two people (as long as you also order a salad to split). Their pizza by the slice prices were just okay, but the slices were also very generous portions. Five Points is a good pizza spot and it is one of the easiest places to get into on a Sunday afternoon in this area (Marche Artisan Foods was incredibly busy). I am not sure how Five Points rates against other Nashville pizza spots, but it would definitely be popular in Los Angeles. If you are looking to find the best pizza in Nashville, Five Points has to be one of the places you try. Free street parking is available in the nearby residential area.

Hands down the best pizza in town and they now offer a walk-up takeout window for all your to-go and late night needs. A large pizza is big enough to be shared by four people (paired with the garlic knots and salad) and everyone will leave happy and satiated. Their beer selection is nice and changes frequently. If you need pizza. You need 5 Points Pizza.

This place is awesome! The server was just ok. The atmosphere was just ok. But the quality of the pizza makes up for all of it. The crust, perfect. The variety of pizzas to choose from, perfect. I love not having a small number of pizzas to choose from and then having to build my own. I'm not a cook. I can't think of what goes well together. Isn't that your job? And boy, they do their joy well. Tons of options that are original and make your pizza palate rejoice. If only we lived closer...
(5)Katy L.
Awesome pizza and consistent which I appreciate! Fresh, good quality ingredients and amazing crust. Love the daily specials.
(5)Emily T.
The service is always awesome. I have never been when I didn't have to wait for a table though. It's because it's that good! The garlic knots are delicious, fresh and a great deal! The pizza slices are huge and delicious. Everything is fresh and the flavors are awesome. The salads are huge - also fresh and delicious.
(5)Cody H.
Best pizza in Nashville! They recently added a pick up area, which is separate from the dine in area. You can pick up a call in or just walk in a grab a slice at anytime. The dine area is pretty small and there is usually a short wait. I am unsure if they take reservations. I had a friend recently visit from Boston who travels a lot (especially up north) and she was "blown away" at how good their pizza was. She said "I would have never expected pizza like this in the south."
(5)Tim G.
This is my favorite pizza place in town. Their lunch specials are great. 2 slices and a drink for $8. I always ask for it to be extra crispy too. Their daily specials are always great and creative takes on pizza. They have a great selection of beer too!
(5)Mad I.
By the slice, cracker like crust if you like that.... worth the stop.
(4)Ridge D.
Damn good! A wide and unique selection of excellent pizza in a great location. The service is fantastic and the food comes fast. I am not sure what is going on in their oven, but the crust is perfect! The garlic knots are super tasty and their daily special pizzas are very good. I have had many different items from here and have always been a happy camper.
(5)Paul S.
These guys make pizza the right way: Hot and FAST. Perfect crust, delicious sauce, great cheese, NOT greasy, amazingly delicious and GREAT the next day cold or out of the oven. The staff is friendly and fast, the beer is good, what more could you want, really? Also a question for the "hipster" haters: You do realize that "hipster infested" tells me that this establishment will be filled with intelligent, mostly college educated, discerning individuals of taste, right?
(5)Snarky S.
Yum! Enough grease. Great service at the bar and we weren't even drinking! House salad was homey in a big cereal bowl.

Five Points Pizza is the best option for dine-in (or carryout) pizza in East Nashville, and potentially in Nashville. My girlfriend and I went around 7pm on a beautiful Friday evening, expecting any restaurant to have a bit of a wait. We walked into to a fully seated restaurant (though there weren't any spare bodies mingling and taking up space) and were greeted by a friendly hostess. She said the wait was 45 minutes for 2, took our name and cell number, and told us we should feel free to go anywhere in the neighborhood in the meantime. I appreciate this dual-purposed crowd control tactic and neighborhood promotion. We popped next door for a drink and appetizer while we waited. About 45 minutes later, we were seated. The long and narrow floorplan is small and cozy, but has a nice vibe with tall wooden ceilings. Our friendly, on-point server greeted us with waters, and we ordered from their beer list, which featured a nice selection of local and seasonal draughts (each listing included helpful descriptions!), as well as a slew of bottle and can options. For pizza, you can order by the slice or pie, creating your own or choosing from a number of specialties. The topping list was above average, including fresh jalapeños, always a good indicator of produce quality. We had it narrowed down to a few pies, and our server made decisive, efficient recommendations, including telling us that you can split specialty pies 50/50 at no extra charge. So we tried the meatball on one half and the hot Hawaiian on the other. Both were delicious. The pizza here is very good, and (now, after multiple visits) it may be my favorite in Nashville. The dough and crust here have more of a cornmealy crunch than my other favorite pizza spots in town (DeSano and Mafiaoza's). But it's hard to compare, because each is prepared in a different style with different ingredients. If you're looking for something quick, don't bank on getting a table right away. But if you're looking for a quality dine-in pizza experience in Nashville, Five Points Pizza is one of your best options.
(5)Lisa S.
Last minute decision to eat here while in Nashville. We really liked it. Super casual small place with great garlic knots and NY style pizza. Our server was very friendly and helpful. They offered a nice flight of beer also and had fun music playing the whole time( mostly Michael Jackson) which was fine with us. I would definitely recommend!
(4)Chris M.
Umm... how have I lived in Nashville for two years and never come here?!? Truly, a travesty. I cannot add anything that others haven't, except to say the tagline here is perfect, "Hot Pizza, Cold Beer". And cheap. And friendly service. And delicious. And a great beer selection and pizza selection. I cannot wait to come back. That's really all there is to say.

Sunday June 22, 2014. I'm in the city visiting a friend so we decided to scour Yelp for a new pizza shop. You know it'll be an experience when Christmas lights wrap the air conditioning duct. Following reviews from others, we started with garlic knots and those did not disappoint. Buttery, garlicky basil goodness served with a hot dish of fresh marinara. Since we are carnivores we had to get the T-Rex but add prosciutto. This pizza isn't for the recent coronary patient. (I recently had to visit a cardiologist but learned I have perfect heart health.) My friend stayed the driver so I could sample some local brews. There were a few Nashville beers on tap and even a Huntsville brew (not a great one though). Come here for local food, beer, and a funky vibe mixing NYC and East Nashville.
(5)Cindy H.
The Zeus! One of the best pizzas I have ever eaten. Their meatball pizza is also fantastic and the slices are huge. My husband loves the happy hour slice and beer specials too. The new addition with the walk up window is great for carry out and a quick fix if you can't wait for a seat at the bar
(5)Bob B.
There are only two pizza places to eat in Nashville. This place and Joey's House of pizza. They are both awesome real New York thin crust pizza. Just go here or Joey's. There really is no others that come close in Nashville. Those fancy pizza places are all a joke. The real deal here.
(5)Mike C.
Thanks to Yelp for helping me find the fantastic Five Points Pizza. The Yelp service truly shines for me when a road tripper can locate a place like this. Walking in, the tiny little pizza parlor atmosphere was an indicator of good things to come. Reading the reviews, of course I ordered the garlic knots. I was really excited for them, having only ever experiencing garlic knots before in NYC. Well the hype is true folks. Decadent and delicious, you could make a meal out of them alone. They had a variety of local beers to choose from and the one I tried was great, especially paired with the knots. The grownups ordered a vodka sauce pizza. Who knew something like this existed? It was great, even as leftovers the next day. Everything on it tasted so fresh. For the kids, we ordered individual slices of NY style pizza. They were large and fold-able, and it was funny to watch the children eat giant pizza slices. Speaking of children, they were well catered to when the waitress offered pizza dough to play with. Think of sticky playdough and you get the picture. I have only been one other place that does this, and forgot how entertaining it was for the kids.
(5)Cher Y.
Always ignored this place due to the crazy lines that would form over the weekend. Got to sample what all the hoopla was about, now I get it. Delicious pizza, nice portion sizes, garlic knots and a nice selection of beers. Nom nom indeed! Did I mention fresh tasting? cool, and glad to have you as part of the Nashville dining scene!
(5)Amanda T.
We went through a ton of pizza reviews today and finally decided to come here. The first step through the door and I knew we wouldnt regret the choice. It smells amazing in there. It was pretty full so we sat at the bar. We got the half order of garlic knots to start with. We also got an 18 inch half trex and the other half ricotta artichoke and prosciutto. It was pretty good but the crust wasn't as thin as the people who just ordered slices next to us. I wish I had just gotten slices. Their pepperoni is the best I've ever had. It's so thin with just a little spice to it. Yum. But all in all the food was very good. The bartender was not very friendly though. All she ever said after we got our order was "y'all alright?" But she already walked away when we answered. Would have given 5 stars had service been better
(4)Darren L.
G a r l i c k n o t s. All you need to know. They are fantastic and worth every penny. Pizza is ok. Garlic knots are excellent. Love the fact that they've expanded and now have a to go window as well as "by the slice" option. Killer addition and did I mention the Garlic Knots yet!!! Go get some now!!!!
(4)Karen D.
Stopped by Five Points Pizza after local recommended its the only place to find New York Style pizza while you're in Nashville, located in East Nashville neighborhood, we enjoyed a slice at the bar as the restaurant was quite busy on a Saturday late afternoon. Great service, several local craft beers to select from at the bar, you must try the garlic knots mmm good! I tried a slice of the Vodka Sauce pizza, which was divine, with fresh mozzarella, house-made vodka tomato cream sauce, spinach, mushrooms, red onions, prosciutto di Parma, garlic, chopped basil, pecorino romano and friend enjoyed a slice of pepperoni. Five Points Pizza is a must on any visit to Nashville.
(4)Ferdinand C.
Really good marinara. Maybe the best in town, save for Cafe Nonna. The garlic knots are good and a nice vehicle for the sauce. The pizza is ok. Better than lots of Nashville pizza, for sure. $3.25 for a slice of cheese is on the high side, but ok. The pizza is just uninspiring though. If you're looking for really great NY-style pizza, march onward. If you're buzzed and need a slice at 10:45, you'll do fine here. (But not after 11!) Good beer, decent wine, fine drinks. All on t he pricey side. Who can afford hanging out in East Nashville anymore anyway?
(3)Anna J.
Everything here is yummy. You can split your pie with two different toppings! The garlic knots are the best. They also have a great selection of unique beers and ciders. Service is friendly and fast, but it's a smaller place, so expect a wait, or grab your pizza or slice to go next door!
(5)John P.
A slice of Meatball pizza here is hard to resist. I pair it with an Apple/Walnut/blue Cheese salad. If the crust is well done, it is excellent. Occasionally it isn't...and is soggy and that kind of kills it.
(4)Johnny T.
4.5 The reviews speak for themselves. Location, product, word of mouth, and service all amount to a business that's earned the good rep it has. I'd heard of Five Points Pizza almost as soon as I moved to a nearby neighborhood. I've been a faithful customer ever since. If you decide to brave 5Points on a Friday, know this: come early. If you arrive by 7 with more than 2 people, you're already too late. Either do as the old folks do (points to self) and plan your dinner outing at 6:30, come solo or plan on eating late (if you decide to eat in). Like bees to a hive, hipsters the mid-South 'round congregate on this pizzeria and they.never.leave. Seriously. Trying to get some breathing room in this place is a journey but it's worth it. Do as I do and come early. Get a table and start thinking about the beer you're going to try. Pizza and beer is a match made in heaven and 5Points makes sure that match is well done. Something I love about the beer list is that it isn't all hops all the time. Nashville, as a beer lover and connoisseur, I beg of you: lay off the hops. There are other elements to consider when drinking beer. Expand your horizons. Here, take advantage of the well-curated list and enjoy any one of a number of local delights (tasted by first Czanns here), poppy imports (Stiegl rocks my summer world) and, most importantly, browns, stouts and other dark beers. But don't get too full on beer; you're here to eat. I ordered the famous garlic knots... and I could have left them. While I'll never shy away from hot, crispy, buttery bread, I didn't pick up the 'garlic' part of the knot. I saw them. I felt them on my tongue. But, I didn't taste them. Save your stomach real estate for the pie. The style here is more typical of NYC so expect wide, floppy slices with distinctive, chewy crust and light sauce. I split my pizza between a Zeus (pepperoni, capicola, black olives, banana peppers, red onions, and feta) and a Supreme (pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, red onions, and green peppers). To be expected, both sides were awesome but the combo was even more so. The ingredients are fresh, the cook takes pride in his work (coming out to visit the tables) and the dish is served piping hot on a tray with a pie server. Perfect. I have also grown fond of their stromboli (the marinara sauce is addictive). What takes 5Points over the edge, though, is the management. When you're on top of the food chain, you don't always have incentive to do right by your customers. I came in one night to pick up a medium veggie pizza. Coming at the time quoted, I picked up the pie and discovered it was cold. The fellow working the take out room couldn't be bothered to give any [redacteds]. Despite my reservations, I left. I got home and couldn't bring myself to eat a 'fresh' cold pizza. I called back and asked to speak to a manager. After a while (and initially speaking with no-[redacteds] lad, I got Josh on the phone. He apologized, asked if I lived nearby and offered to make another pizza for me, free of charge. He asked the type and size, gave me a time to be there and apologized again. I arrived at the right time, asked for Josh, shook his hand, heard him apologize AGAIN, and received a large veggie pizza for my troubles. This. This is the reason Nashville loves 5 Points. Josh saved the day. The food is fantastic. The business makes good sense. All you other pizza joints, take notice. The microphone has been dropped.

Just had lunch at 5 Points Pizza in Nashville and have to say they have the best pizza we have had since moving to this area 14 years ago. They make a true New York pizza. All ingreadents were fresh, server was great and it didn't take long. They actually toss the dough. Parking can be a problem but worth the effort. The garlic knots were great but save room for the pizza. I didn't order a salad but they looked great. I almost forgot, you can purchase by the slice or stop by the take out area.
(5)Jessica W.
Knocked it out of the park again Five Points Pizza! This place doesn't disappoint! The garlic knots are a steal and are a great spilt between a 4 top. Half order is $3?!? Again, get the meatball pie....it's a sure bet and such a win for pizza lovers! Go go go!
(5)Leah V.
Met up with the Hubs and a friend Saturday night to grab some pizza by the slice. Cute restaurant and great service! Price point per slice was dead on and the pizza was super tasty. Even the house salad we ordered was fresh. Can't wait to come back and to make this our pizza joint .
(4)Lauren D.
This place was rated best pizza in Nashville 2014, and I personally think they should win 2015! First off this is in East Nashville, which I absolutely love! I found a few spots downtown that were a little... Eh, let's just say not so laid back! This place was great! We walked in and got a seat at the bar and met the most awesome bar tender. He took orders, had great recommendations, and even changed our minds with our drink selection! We ended up getting half meatball and half vodka, from what he said was popular. Unfortunately I didn't get his name , but, let me tell you. It.was.AMAZING! You have to try this place and I mean it. The vibe was good, people cool, laid back, all kinds of people and their open LATE! It's a definite!
(5)Salman S.
You cannot go wrong. I just wish they had ranch. Garlic Knots are off the chain
(5)Vanessa G.
We liked this place. The pizza was tasty and fresh. The service pleasant. They had a great local beer selection which was a plus for us. We tried a half order of their garlic bread knots and the dough was cooked well-not too dry.
(5)Jennifer B.
Best pizza place in Nashville! A great place to grab a slice for lunch, and even better after a night on the town thanks to their late-night slice window. I love that their slices are HUGE. I never can finish more than one. The prosciutto and basil is divine, and the daily specials are generally pretty good. You can't go wrong with the garlic knots.
(5)Ashley M.
We stumbled upon this place in search of Sunday night dinner after discovering so many of the places on our Nashville must-try list are closed Sundays. When we walked in, the place was packed! The friendly hostess was cleaning off a table and told us it would be 10-15 minutes for a table for two, but smiled and said it wouldn't be too long. We waited outside and it seemed to be only a matter of 5 minutes when she stepped outside to grab us. I'm not a beer fan, but this place seems to carry a large selection and wide variety of beer. For only $7, you can order a beer flight--four beers of your choice. What a deal! On to the food--we started off with an order of garlic knots. Honestly, I don't even like bread much, but after seeing everyone's steaming garlic knots arrive at their tables, I knew I had to have some! The garlic knots were good but not excellent--some pieces were very hard and not the softer, light texture you would expect. The knots were also sitting in a pool of olive oil, and I'm not sure if that's ever cool. Maybe it was an off-order, but I would probably save the calories next time. We also ordered the spinach gorgonzola salad: Baby spinach topped with mushrooms, red onions, walnuts, dried cranberries and gorgonzola--pretty straightforward and hard to mess up, pretty good. Based on the server recommendation, we chose a half-and-half pizza: the server's personal favorite, the vodka sauce pie: Fresh mozzarella, house-made vodka tomato cream sauce, spinach, mushrooms, red onions, prosciutto di Parma, garlic, chopped basil, pecorino romano (no tomato sauce) and supreme: Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, mushrooms, red onions, green peppers. The vodka sauce pie is very, very delicious--you can barely taste the house-made vodka sauce because its flavor is bursting with so many other ingredients! The fresh basil and prosciutto are the highlights of this pie. I did have one concern with the pizza--in some parts, I noticed a doughy consistency under the ingredients, which might be an indication that the pizza was slightly undercooked. Not willing to chance it, I only ate one slice of this pizza. The supreme is also delicious, although a tad salty from the combination of pepperoni and Italian sausage. However, it seemed more cooked than the other half. You can really taste the freshness of the ingredients in both pizzas. This place was a good pick and I'm glad we accidentally stumbled here for a meal! Is it the best pizza and garlic knots I've ever had? Hardly. Does it pass for the best pizza in Nashville? Very likely!
(3)Amy S.
This place has such a chill environment and the pizza is on point! It's a fantastic local place that's well worth the hassle to find parking.
(5)Holly G.
This place continues to be amazing! I actually tried their pizza this time, and that's why I bumped it up to 5 stars instead of 4. The Zeus is absolutely the way to go. The combination of all the different ingredients is just fantastic. I also tried a little bit of the Habanero Cream (at least I think that's what it's called) and that one is excellent as well, although just a touch spicy for my taste. I will absolutely be back!
(5)Lorri M.
This pizza is by far the VERY best I've experienced ! The crust is pure perfection, not overdone so it still has a wonderful softness to it, but perfectly crafted and baked so it also has a fabulous, freshly made, crispiness to it. I am not a fan of heavy, tomato sauce laden pies ... This place does it right with their own hand, crushed Roma sauce that provides a perfect layer to build on, and doesn't rob, or overpower any of the pie. The ingredients couldn't be more fresh if you picked them from the garden yourself! The cheese was amazing, excellent quality. Spinach, mushroom, Gorgonzola ... AMAZING!! Five Points Pizza you all rock the pie!
(5)Brent B.
Great pizza, good beers & good price! The special I got today was awesome. It's only available on Mondays & Friday's so make sure to swing by one of those days.
(5)John W.
This is one of the top three pizza places in Nashville and the BEST pizzeria in East Nashville. They have a vegetarian and non-vegetarian special everyday. You can either enjoy a whole pie in the restaurant, where they also have a decent tap selection, or you can order by the slice next door. Also, they are open late which comes in handy if you are pub crawling through 5 points.
(5)Matthew F.
Great pizza, great beer selection! Out of state visitors who would return every time. Good service and very friendly.
(5)Chris A.
So far the tastiest slice I've found thus far in Nashville as far as NY style goes. Prior to this Two Boots over in midtown occupied the zenith of my pizza rankings. I now have to move it to the penultimate position. However I'd say they're both pretty close in quality and you can't go wrong with either. I'd give a slight edge to Five Points with regards to flavor.
(5)Bailey M.
The food is delicious and the location is perfect- but I wish the building was bigger. It's always so super crowded. I've been upwards of 10 times (various days of the week) and I'd say there's an average wait time of 30 minutes or more. If you don't mind the wait, be sure to order the garlic knots! Their beer selection doesn't disappoint either.
(4)Brittany F.
Love this place! The garlic knots were spectacular!!! I'm a huge fan of garlic and this place loads the garlic on their knots! The whole order was ambitious for 3 of us, definitely will get the half order next time. Next we ordered just a slice of pepperoni pizza and it was exactly the style of pizza that I like, thin crust and greasy! It was perfect! I also got the basil infused lemonade and it was so fresh tasting. Really don't think you can go wrong with anything you get from here!
(5)Jack W.
I had the Zeus Stromboli . Whom ever came up with that combination of ingredients is to be commended. So delicious. If only I lived in the music city. I would be ordering that at least once a week. Sauce was fantastic! Crust was fresh and perfectly cooked. We had knots and pizza as well all highly recommended
(5)Andrea F.
A regular stop for us. Great lunch specials. The spinach gorgonzola salad is great with a slice!
(5)Brunky B.
Recently I took some friends (a group of fellow Judges, you might say) to Five Points so they could experience and critique this place with me. Matthew loved the wide selection of specialty pizzas. Mark raved about the crust. Luke rocked the salad (that was a sight). John noted that they are very generous with their toppings. Ruth's fav was the Gorgonzola. (I should note that Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther were unable to join us as they were attending a pig roast & shrimp hoedown in Shelbyville.) We came to Five Points Pizza with one express purpose: to eat awesome pizza. After all, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, eh? And so we did. Trust me, this pizza will be a Revelation to your mouth. Never have greater Acts of pizza-making been accomplished than those performed here! I must also mention the Five Points server named Cain. He is Abel to provide outstanding and entertaining service from the Genesis of your dining experience until you finally make your Exodus from this fine establishment. And believe me, you will go out the door singing the happiest Song of Solomon. You will not be counting Numbers and worrying about the price you paid. There will be no Lamentations for you, only rejoicing! If ever I were to build a Pizza Kingdom of my own, Five Points is The Rock upon which I would build said Kingdom. Woe unto you if you do not eat pizza (and salad) at Five Points Pizza. I'm not calling myself a Prophet (either minor or major), but I predict you will love this place.
(5)Peny R.
Awesome Pizza! We were driving by after a concert and flipped around when we saw a line of people at the take out window...I ordered the Prosciutto and Basil slice, my friend ordered the Pepperoni slice. We ate it while asking for directions back to our hotel. We did make it back to Five Points on Sat afternoon and sat inside..it's small but I tell you it's worth it. Order the Garlic Knots...delicious!
(5)Jacoby D.
I've had the pizza in both the restaurant and the by-the-slice location next door. I love that they have the easy to-go area next door for those just wanting a slice and garlic knots! Both great experiences! I also enjoyed the fact that we could eat in the by-the-slice area, too!
(5)Adam R.
Excellent beer, superb pizza, and fantastic flavor. Don't skip the garlic bites! While the food is great, you might find yourself in for a wait if you go at peak hours. Come prepared!
(5)Mike M.
Best pizza in Nashville. Service is great, super friendly and fast. Stopped searching for a pizza place once we tried here. It's hard to stand out in the world of pizza and they succeeded. Parking is somewhat of a pain, paying lot across the street or street parking. Often busy so prepare to wait. It's worth it.
(5)Danny N.
The pizza is good and the Stromboli is even better. The garlic knots are a great value as an appetizer. They have a friendly wait staff. You can also do slices to go on their side shop which is quick.
(4)Michelle C.
Love this pizza! So good. Cody was our server and he was great. Very personable and also made sure we had what we needed. Now for the pizza- delicious. Very good attempt at NY style pizza. A little thicker than I like, but fantastic. Go get a great beer on tap and enjoy some good pizza. You won't regret it.

Five Points Pizza - a Haiku: New York Pie Vendor Your Knots and Pie are Divine Refrigerator. Hey - I had to think of something with 5 Syllables to end on. Maybe I could have used Snuffleupagus? Fiduciary? Errrr.... Maybe congratulations would have been better? Screw it. I'm not a poet anyway. But really - that pretty much summed it up. The garlic knots and the pizza was incredible. I am very, very proud of the Nashville food scene. And I am REALLY proud of the fact that we have such good pizza here. Many cities have just chain pizzas or average independent pizza places. I have tried to come here before a long time ago. If you read my reviews you'll know that I am part of a dinner club and we go out to eat once a week. One day several months ago - we picked Five Points Pizza. We went on a tuesday. Come to find out - they are closed on Tuesday. So, that time we ended up just going next door to Tenn-Sixteen and fell in love with the place. We always get together on tuesdays because it seems to work best for most people. Except this week. This time around - it was accidental that we ended up at Five Points Pizza. We decided this week to go out to Mellow Mushroom for their 40th anniversary which was on a Wednesday instead. They had super cheap beers, super cheap pizzas. Basically - they were dusting off the 1974 Menu and whatever items they had and whatever prices they had then - they would be selling for one night only. When we arrived - the crowd was insane. It was pouring rain. We still wanted pizza - but decided that - since we were out on Wednesday and hadn't tried Five Points Pizza yet - that we would caravan to east Nashville and try it out. When they got use seated (which took a few minutes - after all there were 9 of us)- the server came over and started taking drink orders very promptly. Then once everyone had their drinks/beers - they took our food orders. They got appetizers and salads out BEFORE they brought the pizza. And I have to say - the Garlic Knots were the best I've had. The salads, although I didn't have one - looks great! Finally - they bring out the slices of pizza. And I have to say - these were in the true New York style. Huge slices of pizza and they were very foldable. But, I have to say - it was better than any New York slice I've had. Lots of pepperoni, just enough sauce and cheese. It really was a triumph! Honestly - Its been less than 24 hours since we left Five Points Pizza and I already can't wait to go back. Maybe this weekend? Who wants to join for a slice? Hippopotamus
(5)Jason R.
This is one of our favorites pizza places. Cool friendly staff, neat atmosphere, plenty of craft beers on tap, and one of the best pizzas in this region. We typically order the South Brooklyn with Roma tomatoes and meatballs. We always order large so we can snack on this delicious pie later.

My husband and I came here for a late lunch, and were under a time constraint as we had tickets to a show. Without even being asked about timing, the server warned us that the Stromboli I ordered would take 20 minutes to cook. I really appreciated the thoughtfulness, and changed my order to a slice of the prosciutto basil pizza, which was insanely good. We also ordered the garlic knots, which you can order a half or whole order of. The server thoughtfully showed us what a half order looked like by pointing to another table's order, so we knew that a half order would be plenty for the two of us. it was all delicious and quick, not to mention very reasonably priced. One small warning: as I am writing this review hours after having gone there, I can attest to the terrible breathe that will follow the garlic knots, so if you eat them, make sure whoever is with you does too!

The by the slice pizza in the extension of the restaurant was good. The only knock on it I had was the lack of options. As far as I could tell they only offer three different standard options and one that varies.

Best pizza in town, but order fresh. I just brought home some slices from the new take out branch..... 6 pieces $30.00 all stale and impossible to eat. Love the fresh side though!!
(5)Heather T.
Visiting Nashville from Austin, this place felt like home! There was a short wait, so we grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was very knowledgable about all the beers and gave lots of samples! The service was friendly and fast. The pizza was wonderful! I had a slice of the vodka sauce pizza minus the meat- it was so good. I would go back for sure- friendly staff, awesome pizza and beer- how can you go wrong?

Calling all Nashville Pizza lovers!!! This place is a winner for sure! I ordered the following items just to see how they stacked up: 1.) slice of Pepperoni Pizza - this was delicious, just enough sauce, on a perfectly cooked crust, which had a nice crunch... The pepperonis were layered nicely (real pepperonis) and enough cheese! This was so good from start to finish!!! 2.) order of the garlic knots- I am a lover of all things garlic, and this by far the moment I got my take home order (this) is all I could smell... GARLIC & BASIL... It made my drive home so difficult because I wanted to dig in and start my feasting lol... Trust me you want to order theses bad boys! For a full order @ only $5.00 you will regret leaving them behind. 3.) 14" T-Rex pizza - boy I am glad I ordered the 14" instead of 18" this pizza is huge!!! The flavor is even bigger! Full of meats and cheese... This is what you call pizza! I have always loved Joeys house of Pizza and I still do and always will! But this place is a for sure stop and eat! (Skip) Pizza Hut, papa johns, and dominos! You get a better deal here and fresher ingredient!
(5)Allison G.
Great garlic knots, amazing pizza. Definitely call ahead on weekends, we waited a good hour on a Friday night around 7:30. Also, great beer selection!
(4)Ryan P.
Omg I love this pizza. We found a reason to come to the area just to get some garlic knots and a slice of pizza. Great flavor, thin New York style pizza and fresh toppings. Not much else to say as they do this well and I will return!
(5)David L.
I was looking for pizza on a Saturday...but, NEW pizza...at a new spot (for me). And that led me to Five Points. From the moment we stepped into the place, I liked it! It has that cozy, neighborhood joint feel to it - and I like that! Another good sign: the place was packed (~12:45pm). So many people can't be wrong, right? Well, simply put, this place was VERY good. The pizza selections were straightforward and offered enough variety. We chose the special of the day: a generous slice of sausage and red bell peppers with feta cheese. It was on a fairly thin crust and had a perfect combination of flavors. I opted to add a spinach and gorgonzola salad - a tasty compliment. Topping that off with a dark brew, it was a wonderful lunch. Fast and friendly service, too. This place hits on all points! I'll return soon!
(4)Tatiana L.
Great spinach, ricotta and mushroom Stromboli! My kids had single slices of pepperoni pizza which were big enough to count for two slices each. This place is definitely generous with their portions! Family friendly atmosphere. We'll be coming back.
(5)Heather G.
We have recently moved to Nashville from the Northern New Jersey/NYC area, so pizza is very important to us! In this land of chain pizza places we had yet to find anything that was worth eating. So I was excited when I found Five Points Pizza on Yelp. We went to the restaurant on a Friday night and had to wait about a half hour to be seated which I took as a good sign! Our waitress was friendly and took our order quickly. When she brought us our drinks, she also brought out little squares of raw pizza dough for our kids to play with. They loved it! What a creative idea to entertain kids! We got an order of garlic knots which were very good. Not too oily or garlicky. We then ordered a large half cheese/half sausage pie to satisfy all. It was good! The closest we've had to NY pizza yet! A nice thin crust that was not too crisp- you could actually fold the slice. The waitress told us that they let the dough sit overnight which gives it that good texture. Our only complaint was that it needed a little more sauce. We will definitely be returning here! It's so great to have found a place that makes a great pie! Now if only we can find a good bagel...
(4)Corey G.
One of the best places to get pizza in Nashville. I don't find myself in East Nashville very often but when I'm there I like to try the local eateries that everyone raves about. I was recommended to try Five Points by a guy I worked with and it did not disappoint. We ordered a Woodstock and some Garlic Knots to go and neither one disappointed. The crust was on point with an awesome brick oven flavor and the slices were huge! There is plenty of parking behind the building and the wait once you're inside is way worth every moment. I can not wait to go back and try this place again!
(5)Brettan B.
Best pizza in Nashville, I have to agree. The garlic knots are insanely good. The fresh basil on everything is such a nice touch. Try the meatball pizza and die happy. Lots of great local beers, too. The end :)
(5)Lisa C.
Highly recommend. Consistent quality, fresh ingredients, flavorful, have to go at least once each week! Garlic knots are yummy on a cold day (or any day for that matter). Service always friendly. Sometimes a bit of a wait for seating (15-20 minutes). If they get something wrong, they do not hesitate to make it right and comp for the mistake. Love, love, love this place!
(5)Tim B.
This is a great pizza place in the middle of 5 points. The lunch specials are huge! The pizza is also a lot better than your other fast food pizza joints. The parking is always a little hard to come by in the area but it is worth the walk.
(5)Tyler J.
Dang, yo! This place had been hyped up like mad - and I wanted my first Nashville pizza experience to be a good one, so I figured I'd give it a shot with my friends. I'm picky when it comes to pizza - it's gotta have thin, foldable, but slightly crisp crust, good cheese, and the right amount of salty. We ordered the "Old World," and added pepperoni. Listen y'all - this thing was OFF THE CHAIN! Honestly, Five Points is now in my top five favorite pizza places (in any city). There was going to be a crazy wait, so we ordered to-go, but they were nice and let me order a beer while we waited. They have a great tap selection! Stop on by, you won't be let down.
(5)Lina H.
WOW! Amazing service, Super generous... and fresh great pizza and salad... need i say more? you've got to try this place for the awesome food and super friendly service.. it does not disappoint!
(5)Eric B.
I've been back three times since the first trip and it is consistently great. After my last review the owner reached out to me which I thought was really awesome. This and 3 Crow have become a Sunday ritual for me. See you Sunday!
(5)Eric P.
I found this place on Yelp as I was passing through town. I was disappointed in the food. It wasn't horrible, but wasn't great. The servers were nice, but the pizza was basically warmed up older pizza and wasn't very good. I also had a salad, which was just ok.
(2)Brian W.
A 45 minute wait on Saturday night about 6:30 pm. In a artistic neighborhood. Cool Victorian homes and several bars. Ordered the garlic knot which was great. The meatball pizza and Zeus were amazing. We took half the pizza home and three people were eating. Delicious crust on the pizza. Clean bathrooms.
(5)Tulané H.
My husband and I have agreed that this pizza is the best pizza we've ever freaking had. I'm just sad it took us so long to finally check it out. Service is good, dude behind the bar with the glasses was funny, attentive and sweet. The pizza is effing delicious. I also had a Greek salad recently that was really fresh and delicious. Loooove!
(5)Mitishia J.
My daughter and I stopped in for lunch on a Saturday around 1:30. The lunch rush was over but the place was still hopping. We chose to sit at the bar so that my daughter could peek back in the kitchen and watch them make the pizzas. Our bartender was Carrie and she was very polite and attentive. Never let our glasses go empty. We ordered a 14" half cheese and half pepp/much. It was delicious. Perfectly cooked and we got our food fast. Overall it was a great experience and we will definately return. Lots of salads kept passing me and I'll probably have to try that Spinach one on my next trip.
(4)Kelly O.
Wonderful service (Carrie), fabulous food and vegan cheese option!
(5)Darlene V.
I don't live anywhere near this place but will go the distance to have one of their pies. One of the best pizza restaurants I've been to by far! This is saying a lot since I was once a college student in New York City and used to live off pizza. My absolute favorite is the vodka sauce pizza. Now for those who are not vegetarians, please listen to my advice carefully. Whatever you order, add prosciutto. You're welcome.
(5)Erin M.
Great place was referee by a friend has two sides restaurant and take out take out open till 1 am restaurant fresh salads must try the garlic balls Bear on tap and bottle wine by the class on tap otherwise
(4)Andrew M.
Although the pizza leaves you wanting (I'm a deep-dish man), there's enough flavor to keep you interested. I've been a few times, be it with a crowd or at the single-slice serving side next door (Seriously. Beat idea ever next to so many bars), and the the severs are usually friendly. I wouldn't go out of my way to try this place, but if you're in the area, it's great for late-night chow after a few beers. I will concur with the consensus, though: garlic knots are always a good idea.
(3)Courtney A.
Two words: Vodka pizza. It's so flippin' good! Also, their late night pizza window is perfect for a later night snack. Also, get the garlic knots... You won't be disappointed. Delicious!
(5)Wesley W.
Great pizza and friendly staff! They have awesome lunch specials. I've been here multiple times and never had to wait on a table. Everything tastes so fresh!
(5)Verlisa W.
My bf and I stumbled upon this place while bar hopping in east nasty and the place was packed. But as soon as we walked in 2 seats became available at the bar. We sat and examined the menu and ordered the garlic knots and the large Zeus pizza. When it arrived in about 15-20 mins everything was hot and ready to eat lol... I took a bite into the garlic knots and they were so fluffy and light with the marinara sauce and the PIZZA my God was good. The crust had a nice crunch to it and the toppings were spot on. We also had a craft beer flight which was pretty good. Pizza was made to go with a nice cold beer. Overall this place I would say is a must even if you just get a simple pepperoni or cheese through the serving window outside. I will def be back to try the other pizzas.
(5)Sarah H.
Probably the BEST pizza in Nashville! We get the supreme and it's so good!! Don't forget to get an order of the garlic knots too. They have several unique beers on tap too! Cheers!
(5)Abby H.
Good pizza! Got a slice of vodka pizza with prosciutto and a cider. Look forward to coming back and trying more!
(3)Lisa B.
Great thin crust pizza. Hot and crisp, sauce is perfect. Best value in town. Two large slices and a drink for $8.
(5)Allie R.
Finally!! I was so excited to eat here last weekend and those that came with quickly realized why. We arrived on a Saturday at 6:30, I was anticipating a lengthy wait, but can happily report it was only about 20 minutes. When we were seated our server stopped by right away, he took our appetizer order (the garlic knots of course, which were as delicious as everyone says) and refilled our beers. My husband and I split the "T-Rex" pizza, a large, which we are still working on eating the following Wednesday. It's huge and covered with various meats. The sauce is so thin and fresh, you get's bites that are fragrant with basil and the crust is absolutely delicious, a little thinner than usual, but still so soft. My husband loved it as well, to see him excited about food is quite an achievement, he's usually mister poker face. My friend who is allergic to tomatoes (bless her heart) ordered one of their Stromboli's and absolutely loved it. Nothing makes her happier than to find something she loves at a place that is tomato happy Italian. Great pizza, great sauce, great service, and great friends. We will be back.
(5)Andrew T.
So...today was a little hectic and 5 Points made our day....1:45 I call our favorite pizza place and place the order. 2:00 I have to call back and cancel the order, embarrassed and spazzed because the car is broken down about to cross Veterans Bridge. yeah, one of those days... After the crisis is averted, we call back and they were so accommodating and nice about the whole situation...and of course the Old World we ordered was to die for...the fresh mozzarella and dough are absolutely the tops in the city...the quality here is always on point, never any questions...and the walk-up window is game changer... the people who work there are genuinely nice (which is harder and harder to find in this city) ....thanks again!!!!
(5)Shelly M.
Last time we ate here we had the meatball pizza which was amazing. Going to try the meatball Stromboli this time and the garlic knots. Heard they where delish!!
(5)Jonathan B.
Great, huge slices of pizza. They have a lot of options, I ended up getting two slices that were a few bucks each. A plate of garlic knots passed by and I wished I had ordered those. A little bit of a long wait, but the place is small so that's expected
(4)Jenny Y.
Wow! what a gem. Came in hungry and left completely satisfied even by my snobbish pizza standards. completely affordable. I think I had 2 huge slices (I'm talking needing to be on two paper plates, huge) which ended up being about 7 or 8 bucks or so. They have specialty slices every night which had some unique combos. You may have to wait for a table or you can head to the bar and order there instead. I also saw some families ordering entire pizzas to go.
(5)Ashley O.
Pizza was awesome! The service was just so-so. Definitely would go again. Prices were normal. Didn't have a beer on this trip but, they offer an extensive beer menu both on tap and bottles.
(4)Cheryl S.
Pizza was very good. The crust is very tender and crispy. The knots are amazing. I wish there was a no garlic version. Salads are very good as well. Parking could be an issue. Good beverage selection.
(4)Thuy N.
I'm not a big fan of pizza, but I am a fan of Five Points Pizza, especially their meatball pizza. There are a lot of good beers on tap. Their quarters are a little tight, but the servers are friendly. The only thing I don't like about them is that 3 slices of pizza pretty much cost the same as a whole pizza. They are expensive. If you like thin crust pizza and fresh ingredients then it's definitely worth it!
(4)Andrew B.
I cannot believe we left NYC, came to TN, and had pizza, and amazing pizza at that! There she was, a meatball & onion pizza staring at us on Yelp, and she was a beauty. So, we defied all commonsense and tossed logic aside, and decided we'd give this place a try. We don't eat pizza out of state, and certainly not in TN, but live and learn ... The garlic knots and sauce were perfect. And the pizza was so good we took one for the plane ride home, but couldn't get it past the TSA. Perfect pizza, someone from up north must be making these pies, as this was our best meal in Nashville, and we love us some pizza, and this is pizza worth making the trip back to revisit!
(5)Andrea B.
I looked through reviews for "best pizza in Nashville" and Five Points Pizza had many 4 and 5 star reviews. Maybe I had my hopes too high, or maybe pizza is just that bad in Nashville because if this was as good as it gets, I'll stop looking and give up on finding great pizza here. Service: Not very attentive, but it was crowded. It was fairly early on a Friday night, not quite 6:00, and the FPP was crowded. We got one of the last open seats (good thing we only needed to seat 2 ppl). After a few minutes, our waiter greeted us and gave us water and apparently didn't hear us when we said we were ready to order because he walked away and didn't come back again for about 10 minutes. Our food, half order of garlic knots and a 14" pepperoni pizza came out in a timely manner. We didn't see our waiter again until we caught him delivering drinks to a nearby table to tell him we could use some more water. Food: I've had better. Garlic Knots-very good, very garlicky. Could have used some more butter. Pizza-Crust was crispy but not very flavorful. I guess my overall impression was meh, it's good but not great. If all you want is to taste garlic, than this is the place to eat. Sure, we had a plain jane pepperoni pizza, but come on. The pizza itself-dough, sauce, cheese should be flavorful; unfortunately, this pizza was just boring. Chesters Pizza in Fairfield, OH and Papa Leno's in Berea, KY are my pizza and garlic bread benchmarks. Sorry Five Points, but you didn't come close to measuring up.
(2)Steven M.
Still loving this place. Not only is the aforementioned server gone but the servers there now are kicking butt. Great service, great food!
(5)James B.
Been wanting to try this place for a while. Went at an off time and had two good slices of pizza and a glass of beer. Cool store. Looking forward to visiting again.
(5)Kimberley R.
Best pizza in town! Love loved the garlic knots and really nice staff. Prices on slices good. Little higher on the full pizzas but well worth it for the quality. I'm quite addicted to them now. :)
(5)Emily M.
Great place to grab a couple of slices over in East Nashville. Have been coming here since they opened and have yet to have a slice I didn't like. The main part of the restaurant can get busy, so there can be a little bit of a wait. But they have solved that issue with the new addition, making it really easy to pop in for a quick bite, or to take it to go. Great spot in 5 Points!
(4)Coco D.
So........let me just say the Pepperoni Pizza is the shit! Stayc and Hannah make a awesome team! She was all smiles and his skills with the pizza are a 2 thumbs up and he was a smiling hunk as well! (Wink!!!) the place is quaint.
(5)Kimberli F.
Hell. Yes. Fresh and top quality ingredients. Great owners, servers, and pizza makers. The owners just added a whole other side to the restaurant, which is just a slice and go side. That side has no tables, just counters. It's open real late, so it's perfect for those late night cravings!
(5)Kasi Z.
Great pizza! One of my favorites, it tastes a lot like Joe's pizza in New York. We got a typical mushrooms and tomatoes pizza an it was very tasty, the crust was perfect. We didn't have to wait to be seated but the restaurant does get busy, it's worth the wait!
(4)Chip B.
I have been searching for the best pizza in Nashville. I think my search has finally ended. Great thin NY style pizza. Garlic knots are excellent also. Only downside is that parking sucks. Going to have to hunt for a parking spot but it is worth it.
(5)Megan B.
Usually 5 Points Pizza is GREAT, but horrible service at the bar tonight. Received the wrong beer and the bartender just shrugged and said he poured it from the right tap.
(2)Trista D.
Not sure where you've been of you haven't tried Five Points Pizza. The ingredients are fresh as is the pizza so don't rush them, especially if there's a full house. Order a beer, indulge in some garlic knots (non - negotiable), and wait on your awesome pizza creation to arrive. I've tried quite a few varieties on the menu, but nothing does it for me like Old World (like margherita but better) and my all time favorite topping combo of pepperoni and mushroom on the Woodstock. For a yummy experience add spicy cappicola or find a pizza with it because that stuff is amazing. This place is one of Nashville's best for pizza so expect a lengthy wait on Friday nights and Saturdays.
(4)Heather B.
Best pizza I've had in Nashville!! And definitely order the garlic knots, they don't disappoint. Great prices for amazing pizza.
(5)Bridgette C.
Oh Five Points Pizza, you amazing little treasure you. This New Yorker was a happy camper after her first time there. Small and intimate, it reminded me of the pizza shops back home, except classier in a southern hospitality kind of way. I can get a slice and a beer?! I feel like I'm home! Large slices with thin crispy crust that flops over in my hand? Yup, happy girl, right here. Deliciously simple pizza. Great for groups looking to carb up before gallivanting around Five Points. Excellent service. Beer on tap. This place makes me sad I don't live in East Nashville all on its own. It's small and can be a little crowded and loud but it would never stop me from coming it, I can promise that. If you want seriously good garlic knots as well, this is the best place I have found that is not in New York that has them. Also, inexpensive. And yummy. Overall the way a pizza shop should be.
(5)Annie W.
Upon entering I noticed how tiny and lack of seating there was, therefore eating there was not an option. We chose to do take out of pepperoni and plain slices which were delicious but there were only 4 options of slices to chose from. The slices were each huge and thin crust! The service was very fast, in and out of there within 3 minutes. Would definetly return back to try the garlic knots, but different slices of pizza next time.
(4)John F.
Great NY style pizza! Excellent crust, great sauce, and the best garlic knots I've had. I'd recommend this place to anyone.
(5)Megan M.
If you are in the 5 points area, this is a must. Great fresh food with great prices and a wonderful staff! Tip-go after normal lunch hours and before dinner hours. You'll save waiting and no one will be crowding your table space!
(5)Rey M.
This place is great! One of the best pizzas in Nashville - there are only two or three. I would, especially, like to commend the service. Everyone was so sweet and accommodating. Five points made for a fun Sunday.
(5)Daniel A.
Good crafts beers and pizza with a small menu, perfect place to pregame and have a bite to eat or come with a few friends. In fact if I lived in Nashville I could see myself here quite often. Had the spinach Gorgonzola salad $6 and a specialty slice white pie with mushroom, ricotta, spinach and roasted red pepper pesto. Was good what you would expect from a pizza place a twist. They had 16 drafts beers and plenty of bottled. Good place to come alone or with friends, space limited.
(4)Virginia R.
Garlic knots are delish! If you're looking for tasty pizza made from fresh ingredients, this is your place! While this place is small and you may have to wait for a table, I found the food worth the wait. The fresh chopped basil on the garlic knots to the fresh veggies on my pizza, I was throughly impressed. However, this is not a place for those in a rush. Our order took time. Perfection takes time, but if you don't have time, skip it for another day. The beer selection is fair, but the pizza! yumzza!
(4)Noelle T.
I wonder what would happen if you ate pizza everyday? I mean everyone knows that it contains 4 of the major food groups and if I get to eat pizza everyday then I would absolutely pick Five Points for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I really enjoyed the flavors and the onions on my pizza were amazing like onion candy. It is important to note that we ate here during Tomato Fest. The hostess told me that Tomato Fest is the busiest day of the year for Five Points yet their pizza and their service remained on point. They offer some unusual toppings as well as all the old favorites. We ordered the Zeus and subbed the capicola for some sausage and it was delicious! The table next to us had the Garlic Knots and they looked tempting. I will definitely try those next time we are in the area along with on of their Chocolate Chip Cannolis. mmmmm
(4)Cilla H.
Perfection. We have been twice now. Great service and the food is the best.
(5)Rebecca M.
I can't believe I haven't written a review about Five Points Pizza. Its my favorite pizza place in Nashville. Hands down. New York style is the best - fold it over and enjoy - and Five Points does it well. Their garlic knots are pretty delicious too. The prices are fair and the beer selection is good. The only down side is that it gets crazy crowded. However, its so good, I would wait a lifetime for it. Yum... can you crave pizza at 9am?, because I am...
(5)Margaret S.
If you're in need of a pizza fix on the East Side, this is where you need to go. Their daily vegetarian slice special is always delicious. Recent updates to the space are fantastic. They always have good, local beer on tap. Highly recommend the Greek Salad.
(5)Ashton M.
Pizza was good, but I'm used to pizza places where you can add whatever toppings you want to the pizza, which they don't do here, and I was a little disappointed. Beer flight for $7 was awesome though.
(4)Josephine M.
Garlic Knots! You must try them. Everything we had here was very good. Crust was thin and crispy but not too crispy. Crust was very good! Would be a staple if I lived in Nashville!
(5)Cynde L.
Yum!!! I consider myself an expert on pepperoni pizza and this place is fantastic!!! Visiting from Southern California, it came highly recommended and did not disappoint.
(4)Amanda T.
Stopped in for a late bite to eat with some friends. We were really hungry but didn't want to eat too much for our big dinner later. We were told the best slices of pizza could be found here. They were right. We each got a slice and it was very good. We all said we could have downed a whole pizza each. I got the special vegetarian pizza of the day. This is the first pizza place where the dough was delicious to me. I could have just ate the crust and have been happy. I would never said that about a pizza place but this, I am.
(4)Megan C.
Finally made it to try out this spot! Decent beer selection-not a huge number, but definitely some unique picks including beers from Country Boy, a new-ish brewery from my hometown. It's pretty cozy in there...and no real place to wait if there's a queue. We didn't wait long until our table was ready, though, so all in all not so bad. We tried the spinach salad, garlic knots, and a pizza with vodka cream sauce and prosciutto. We liked everything and loved the knots...they're so doughy and delicious! They also come with truly incredible tomato sauce. It was so very fresh tasting that hubs and I instantly regretted not getting a pizza covered in it. Great pizza and looks like they have good lunch specials.
(4)Christa P.
Probably the best pizza in town for a traditional slice style. Still really wanting to try their grandma slice- but great fresh out the oven.
(4)Trey R.
Garlic knots are the bomb!!! Pizza was great and the crust was top notch. Definitely will go back next time I visit Nashville.
(4)Kayla S.
Phenomenal pizza! Thin crust and crispy but fresh ingredients and incredible flavor. Don't pass up the garlic knots too
(5)Kenneth D.
So, we've been here several times now, and I feel like I'm doing them a disservice, since I haven't given them a review yet. 5PP is hands down the best non-wood/coal fired pizza I've had in Nashville. I love all types of pizza, but my preference is wood/coal fired, so I tend not to compare them to those that are cooked in a gas oven, it wouldn't be fair. That being said, 5PP makes one hell of a pie. What they lack in fuel, they make up for with fresh toppings, great sauces, inventive combinations and excellent crust. The crust is what I look at above everything, and they do it right: thin and crispy with a light char(a must), and a crisp yet chewy outer crust. All the slices I've had here have been home runs. The go to Cheese and Pepperoni slices are perfect, with the Pepperoni being just greasy enough and very good quality. The Prosciutto & Basil is another great slice if you're looking for something lighter but still packed with flavor. The whole pies are cooked to order and have yet to disappoint. The T-Rex(think meat lovers on steroids), Meatball Pie, Hot Hawaiian(pineapple/jalapeno/capicola), Supreme, Caprese...all amazing. Their Stromboli's are just as good, if that's what you're into. They're made with the same fresh dough and toppings, with a side of marinara(house made I assume). I've only had the Zeus(Pepperoni, spicy capicola, black olives, banana peppers, red onions, feta) and it was delicious and not small, haha. Our sever was amazed that I was able to eat one and a slice of pizza. Well, he obviously doesn't know me very well. If you're really hungry, don't skip the Garlic Knots, but they are filling, so try to get a half order if you can't resist. I like to save as much room for the pizza as possible, so that's just me. If you're still hungry after going trough a few slices, they do make some pretty good cannolis also. I would ask about availability though, the last time we ordered them they were out. The service is always very friendly and inviting. The servers pay you just enough attention and the food comes out quickly. They have a great beer selection too, so it's not a bad place to start the night, or end it, or hell..both. I'm really glad that 5PP popped up, it's nice to have such great quality pizza so close to home.
(5)Sarah S.
What isn't there to love about Five Points? Local Neighborhood restaurant with very tasty pizza! What makes it for me is those garlic knots. If I crave something and my mouth waters any time I think of them, you know they are doing something majorly right. I also love that it's family friendly too. We have a daughter and enjoy that there are more and more places in East Nashville that we can take her. In the words of Tina Fey, "go to here." :)
(4)Noel T.
Really enjoyed the food here. My parents and I got the Zues pizza and the garlic knots and can I just say OMG. Delicious. I love the garlic knots so much I wanted to eat them all right then and there. The pizza was huge and the slices where big I love that and the pizza itself tasted great. We took the left overs home for dinner. Just great food. Loved the inside of the place too. I wish it was a Tad bigger felt a little close and crowded but I loved it it was my first time ever being there and I left happy.
(5)Guy S.
Looking for excellent pizza and stromboli? Look no longer. This place is fantastic. The Zeus stromboli is not to be missed. The vegan pizaa was perfect. Ask for Jake for service as good as the food!
(5)Janet S.
I do not get it, perhaps too old, very noisy, pizza nothing special, garlic knots are yummy. A quick slice of pizza and a beer at the bar with some knots was $13 - good vfm but as I said too noisy and crowded - the 5 points mob just not for us.

Such good pizza!! And the garlic knots are a must! Our server was great too. Young dude, recommended some of his favorite bars and was overall very friendly. We'll go back next time we're in Nashville for sure.
(4)Natalie D.
Delicious! Fresh ingredients, crisp crust, polite servers. . . What more could you ask for? Veggie with a house Pinot noir Great Saturday afternoon treat.
(5)Eli C.
Always awesome, regardless of the time of day or the slices on the board. I've tried a lot of the menu, and there is no weakness. Crust is great, toppings are fresh, and the oft-overlooked ratio issues (toppings to sauce to crust texture) are a non factor here. This is just really good pizza. Thankful that it's in the neighborhood. Also, I appreciate carry out only, I like popping in on Friday night after work and seeing the neighborhood alive with families and friendly faces.
(4)Taylor S.
Amazing! Awesome pizza and awesome selection of craft beers! The servers know everything about the beers too! Prices were good too!! Great friendly restaurant!!!
(5)Daianna B.
Wow. This place has really surprised me, it was absolutely amazing! I had the garlic knots which is something you should try! I shared a pizza with a group of friends we had the vodka pizza I believe it was called. It was amazing we all ate one slice and that was all we needed since the slices are so big! Writing this review makes me want to go back for more! This place will not disappoint!

This might be my favorite pizza place in all of Nashville. It's kind of a toss up between Five Points and Mafiaoza's and it really just depends on what kind of pizza I'm in the mood for. Five Points is New York style pizza to a T. Its more of a thin, gooey, cheesy, greasy type of pizza, which is what I like. If you want some seriously good classic tasting pizza, go here. If you want the fancier, weirder options, go some place else like Mellow Mushroom or Mafiaozas (which are also both very good as well).
(5)Afkham N.
Excellent pizza! I ordered the gorgonzola but messed it up by ordering too many toppings on it lol. It was fantastic all on its own!
(5)Michael V.
Great pie. Had a couple slices and some beers. 20 craft drafts on tap and the atmosphere is great! If you don't want to dine in they have a window next door.

-Went on a Friday night at 8:15pm and had to wait a while to be seated, but it wasn't too bad. Decent wait for such a small place on a busy night. -Great atmosphere. Sat in a booth and was able to carry on a conversation with friends without having to yel
(5)Kenb H.
Good beer. Very good pizza. Nice place for a business traveler to get a good dinner. Solid
(4)Colette W.
$3 pizza by the slice with fresh basil? A steal! The garlic knots use good EVOO and freshly chopped garlic, but you only need the half order. Plenty of food. Will return!
(5)Gale K.
Back for a second day. Cleaning out my old apartment 'cause I moved to Clarksville. Nothing like this in Clarksville. I was very pleasantly surprised to that the pizza was pretty close to NY pizza.
(5)Ken A.
Killer NY Pizza in Nashville. This is the real deal. Those of you in the know of authentic New York style pizza will love this. Five points has a cool funky vibe inside, very fun. Service was great, servers were knowedgeable and fun. You can't go wrong here. When you realize the line to get into "The Pharmacy" (same neighborhood) is out the door, you will be happy you came here instead!
(5)Sara R.
Incredible pizza/salad lunch special.
(5)Owen R.
Pizza is good so the annoying hipster crew gets overlooked. Great slices, nice section of Nashville. Not much else to say...
(4)Arthur V.
The pizza was delicious! It was by far one of the best pizzas I've had in Nashville, in my opinion. I had the pepperoni Pizza slice and my girlfriend has the vodka pizza slice. We came too late to eat at the restaurant itself but the cool thing is they have a walk through window you can order from and take the pizza Togo. The pizza is rather thin but the slice is real big. Toppings and everything we're pretty moderate, could've used a little more sauce but overall it was really good. The big plus about this place is, that it's open till 3am on weekends!
(4)Tom K.
This spot is consistently good. The pizza is top rate. Calzones are tasty as well. Great food for the money...
(4)Aaron G.
Definitely a hipster pizza joint. That being said, best pizza in Nashville area. Garlic knots are amazing and fairly priced. If you're looking for organic or gluten free, this is your place. Their pizza is amazingly good and I don't feel bad paying a little extra for their product. Craft beer selection is local and awesome! Space is small but with their new walk-up window, they're improving. A well-deserved 5 stars. If you come to Nashville and want to experience excellent t food and beer and know what East Nasty is all about, this is your place. Loved it!!!
(5)Lindsey J.
One of THE BEST places to get a solid slice in Nashville (especially if you love thin crust)! Five Points Pizza has a great casual atmosphere & friendly staff. Do NOT overlook their special slices of the day... they're perfect with a salad and half order of garlic knots.
(4)Jeff B.
This pizza is really good. Best pizza in Nashville in my opinion. I had 2 slices of the prosciutto and basil pizza and it was so good.
(5)BJ B.
This place is my guilty pleasure as an East Nashville resident. This is a close as you'll come to NY style pizza in the city. I often find myself dining here after leaving the 5 points area in search of a late night bite to eat. The service is always friendly and speedy. My only negative is that they will not let you customize your own Calzone and the wait can be lengthy at times. That said, this is hands down the best Pizza in East Nashville and a must eat if you're in the area!!
(5)TC J.
Love this place. Dave's Pie is delicious! The single slices are huge. The kids even loved Dave's Pie & they're cheese pizza enthusiasts. We didn't have any leftovers.
(5)Rachel W.
Lives up to the hype! Great pizza, even better garlic knots. The waiter was super friendly and fast to greet us and take our order. I loved that we were able to wait at the bar down the street and have a beer and then the hostess called me when the table was ready. Just a great experience all around.
(5)Frank S.
I just moved to Nashville and was excited to try this place and I was not disappointed! The garlic knots were delicious and it's a great hangout place too (sat at the bar while I waited for my to-go order and service was fast and friendly). The pizza (I had the Brooklyn pie) was some of the best I've tasted (and very New York authentic) - can't wait to take friends and family there because I've been raving about it ever since my first visit!
(5)Chelsea J.
Five points is hands down the best pizza I have had in Nashviile. We came here on a Tuesday evening around 7:30 and there was a 30 minute wait. Luckily the hostess was super accommodating and took down my phone number and said we could go to the bar next door and she would call me when our table was ready. The table became available before we had finished our drinks, but they saved it for us anyways which I really appreciated. We ordered some wine and garlic knots to start out. Our table of 4 originally started to order individual glasses of wine and the waitress told us it would actually be a better deal (cheaper and more wine) to get the carafes instead, which again I appreciated! The garlic knots were super but the real stand out was Dave's Pie, pizza with basil and proscuitto. Its also just as good cold the next day, I might even prefer it cold. The staff is really friendly and engages with your table, but not too much. The pizza comes out quickly and its a fun, lively environment.
(5)Paul K.
First off, I don't know how they did it, but the beer there tastes better than anywhere I've ever had beer on tap, and I've been to plenty of places that just opened. The pizza - decent tasty toppings, seemed a little healthy feeling. Not sure if they didn't use oil or baked the fat right out of it or what but it felt like it needed a braising with some olive oil to reduce the slightly crackery texture. Not bad mind you, just a pizza that makes you want water shortly after. The pizza was solid, enjoyable, not quite perfected but feeling like they're on the right path (had some of theirs before they opened and thought they were on the wrong path then). $22 for a large pie you won't be ashamed of, that will work. The garlic knots - there are only two places I have been in Nashville that I've had garlic knots that were almost right. This is one of them. Main complaint is the ones I used to love in NY universally had chunks of fresh garlic pasted on by butter or something... mmm... 5 Points had the knot part solid, but the garlic was a little underwhelming. As we went to pay we noticed the checkbooks were provided by Discover.. I should have known we were in an alternate reality at that point... I was trying to pay with my American Express and was told they did not accept them. I'm completely used to places not wanting to take AMEX, but to take Discover... it was like I was paying in the mid to late nineties... k-razy. Pizza survived the night with no refrigeration, tasted quite decent the next day. This is perhaps 3 steps away from being the best pizza I've ever had, however these are some significant steps, but I think they're heading in the right direction. Place appeared to be kid friendly, and the waiters were cool.
(4)Michael S.
Went here at 830 on a Saturday. Full house but was seated immediately. Had local jackalope beer which was great. A+ beer selection / variety/ local. A for pizza varieties. The pies were delicious. The waitress was pushy to get us in and out. But the food came quick and we didn't even take any slices of our 14" pie home ! Recommend the south brooklyn pizza Will be here again
(5)Kristina C.
I'm not sure why this place has received so many rave reviews. Since we're new to the area and were longing to find a local pizza place we ordered a large, half cheese and half pepperoni pizza from Five Points. We figured that if we liked the basics we could try something more adventurous in the future. The entire pizza can be summed up in one word: bland. The crust was thin and tasted like cardboard. The sauce was bland and there wasn't enough of it. The cheese also had zero flavor and again, there wasn't enough of it either. We were thoroughly disappointed. I love pizza and there have been only 2 occasions in my life when I have been unable to enjoy a pizza and didn't want to eat it. Sadly, Five Points was one of those times. I guess if you're a Nashville native this is your place to go for great pizza but as Nashville newbies we'll keep looking. P.S. if you're ever going to Cleveland, Ohio check out Antonio's Pizza for a great, award winning pizza.
(2)Ocean S.
Vegan pizza, nice salad and Good People IPA on a Sunday afternoon. Well that's worth 3 stars right there. Add great service and there you go. Not the best pizza ever, I mean you're not going to be confused that you're at Roberta's in Brooklyn or Serious Pie in Seattle, but this is pretty good. Pizza in East Nashville, I'm at Five Points.
(4)Eatalot F.
Pretty good vodka pizza. Good flavor and good thin crust. I like that they give you a container of fresh basil to carry out! Only thing I would change Is more sauce. So ask for extra sauce as there is very little.
(4)Jill P.
BEST pizza in nashville. friendly staff. great beer selection. eat here at least once a week. typically i'll start with the spinach salad and grab a slice of pepperoni or their daily special slice. it's all good. all of the time. in fact, as i started typing this, i started debating in my head about whether or not i should drive there to grab myself a slice...right now!
(5)Brennan W.
Come on down to hipster town. Seriously, if you're interested in sight-seeing, this is a must stop on your East Nashville hips-tour (! totally just thought of that, and totally making it a thing). The pizza's great. The garlic knots are top-notch. The place is small, so don't get cranky if you have to wait. Just sit back and enjoy the views.
(4)Carrie W.
We had dinner here tonight. My Mom,Brother, daughter an myself. We decided we want to eat local more so than do chain restaurants for a variety of reasons. This was our first visit an its Great Pizza. I wanted to try something new so i got a Basil Lemonade an we ordered some garlic knots.....which are YUMMY!!!! We just did a pepperoni pizza altho they have several different kinds. We did the 18" which was 20.00 (not bad for the size). An its some of the best pizza i have had. Afterwards me an my little girl both got Cannolis' MAN OH MAN ...THEY WERE SOOOO GOOD. Nice an Crisp!! It is hard to find a good cannoli, look no further. The basil lemonade is very different but i really liked it. The service was good except our waiter forgot my brother's beer which my kid decided she would so pleasantly say ...ugh can he get his beer?! ....lol she gets right to the point. He was on his way with our refills an he apologized and had came right back with it. That is really the only complaint i have other than that it was a delightful experience an we will be back.
(4)David R.
Really really good pizza. A little pricey but if that's what consistently great costs than so be it. Eating in can entail a bit of a wait so we usually get a pizza to go.
(5)Mark N.
Ok, I'll admit it. I'm a pizza snob. There. Happy now? I was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. - you can't swing a dead cat in Brooklyn without hitting a place that will give you a great slice, although I can't even begin to fathom why you'd be swinging a dead cat... I just looked it up online - swinging a dead cat is illegal... and it severely limits your dating options... don't do it whilst in Brooklyn... or anywhere else... ever. On to the review, which is based on 2 slices of prosciutto and basil pizza and 1 basil lemonade... The first thing I should mention was my server. I sat at the bar... yes, alone... no, I don't have any friends... yes, I'm very lonely... feel better about yourself now? At any rate, my server was really great. Despite being quite busy, he was quick and efficient, and a genuinely pleasant guy - as opposed to the "I'd really like to kill everyone and then myself but I'm going to plaster a fake smile on my face because if I lose this job, I really will kill everyone and then myself" type of server that you sometimes get and immediately want to hold a telethon for. Yes, I just ended a sentence with a preposition - it's a review of a pizza place, not freakin' Shakespeare, so just back off, E.B. White... The lemonade came out first and was light and refreshing with a strong basil flavor up front that fades into a light, not too sweet lemonade finish. Really tasty... Were you expecting more? I mean, it was really good lemonade, but... it's lemonade - what'd you expect me to do, throw a parade? Ok - the pizza. The first thing that I said when it was put in front of me was "Holy crap, that's a lot of prosciutto!" Yes, I said that. Out loud. The other people at the bar looked at me with vague amusement... or possibly apprehension... At any rate, they do indeed put a ton of prosciutto on their slices (I carry a scale with me at all times - body issues - I don't want to talk about it) and it's high quality prosciutto. Just the right amount of saltiness, just the right amount of fat, and melt in your mouth tender. Really excellent. BUT It was cold. Not the slice - that was hot, but the prosciutto was cold. Now, I'm not used to pizza in Nashville, so maybe not putting the prosciutto on the slice till after it comes out of the oven is a regional "thing"? Whatever. It wasn't a big deal. All I had to do was let the pizza sit for a minute and the hot slices warmed the prosciutto, so certainly not the end of the world, but the first bite was a little jarring. The crust was... I'm going to go ahead and say it, a little brittle for my tastes. You can tell they use quality dough by the flavor, but a slice should not crack when you try to fold it in half - it should have a little give to it - could just be it was just slightly overcooked, but other than that, the crust was tasty. The sauce was really good, delicate with a nice fresh tomato flavor and no hint of the sugary sweetness that many sub par pizzas have. BUT I could have used a little more of it. Again, maybe it's a "thing" to not use much sauce on the prosciutto slice, but I think a smidge more sauce would have balanced out the overall flavor - methinks it might have also solved the brittle crust issue. There is no mozzarella on this slice, which is as it should be, but it does contain a healthy dusting of grated parmesan, which compliments the prosciutto and sweet, flowery basil very nicely. So, to sum up... Service A Quality of Ingredients A Quantity of Ingredients (prosciutto) A+ Quantity of Ingredients (sauce) C+ Preparation B- (the first bite of cold prosciutto was a little shocking and the crust was too brittle) Price... Ok, you can look at this one of two ways. My bill for 2 slices and a lemonade was $13 and change. I left $17 and called it good so on the one hand, you can say... "17 bucks for 2 slices of pizza and a lemonade? That's highway robbery!" OR You can say "I just ate the amount of quality prosciutto I would get in an appetizer at a good italian restaurant that would have cost at least 12 bucks, plus the pizza. Plus the lemonade, plus a tip. 17 bucks is fair." It's all a matter of perspective... And besides, one slice really would have been enough food. I'm NOT saying I have any feelings of guilt about eating two slices when one would have sufficed... Excuse me for a moment. (sound of footsteps going down the hall followed by the bathroom door closing) (muffled) "Fat! Stupid fatty! Fat jerk! I hate you, stupid fatty loser!" (sound of bathroom door opening and footsteps returning) I'm back! What was I talking about? The price! Right! I'll rate the price as a B Bottom line, will I go back? Yes, and I'll order one slice and request extra sauce. Overall Rating B

Yeah, this place is pretty awesome. My go-to pizza spot in Nashville. I got a slice of pizza. On the menu, it lists 3 basic by-the-slice pizzas, but you can ask about others that aren't on the menu. I got one that had bacon on it & some other stuff (but I mean come on, bacon is the most important part anyways)-- but it was so good. The 'special' slices are about a dollar more, but it's worth it. My husband had the Zeus stromboli-- and oh my was it amazing! It was just overflowing with toppings and cheese & the dough was perfect. & their sweet tea is also good here. Love this place. Friendly service, awesome food & decent prices. Lunch specials under $10. Just be warned- it gets packed!
(5)Lake M.
The nicest thing about Five Points upon first walking in is its atmosphere, and this is where it trumps most other pizzerias in Nashville; it isn't trying too hard to be hip, but it's not scared to look like it is. The lights are dimmed, and the lofty dining room is illuminated with a flurry of Christmas lights. It's always busy--that's a good sign--but it has made for a reasonable wait every time I've been there. Once you sit down and manage to decide whether you want stromboli or pizza (you can't go wrong with either, but the stromboli option is a nice one to have), the night chugs along well in the hip, cozy restaurant. The garlic knots are well-presented, though there are better ones in the city, and there's a nice selection of beers to keep you entertained until the food comes. Finally, the pie is brought out, and you look upon it with starving eyes (by this point you've been in the restaurant for upwards of a half an hour). When you take your first bite, you notice that it isn't the most authentic New York pizza: the sauce is a little too sweet for that. The amount of body gives each bite a nice, full texture. And the toppings, much like those of the rest of Nashville's hippest pizzerias, tend to lean toward artisan-style. Five Points probably isn't unlike any pizza you've ever had. But it doesn't have to be: it's a high quality slice, and it's my favorite pizza in town, well worth the trek to East Nashville. Do yourself a favor and drop by on a cold Friday night.

Garlic Knots! Garlic Knots! Garlic Knots! Ok, just to make sure that you know what to order. These are yummy buttery intense garlicky pieces of bread. You dip them in warm marinara and you will be in heaven! They are meant to be shared. This place is on the Eastside and definitely has that vibe about it. They have a great selection of local and craft beers. The pizza and the ingredients they use are primo! The salads are huge and I always have one with my slice. They always have some sort of special of the day on their pizza. The people who work here are awesome. I usually sit at the bar and I still get great service EVERY TIME!!
(5)Bryan M.
Loved getting out of downtown and exploring the neighbourhoods. Five Points has some great places. The garlic knots were great, full of fresh garlic and flavour. I ordered a veggie pizza and a refreshing basil lemonade.
(4)Zeb M.
After weeks (or months?) of anxiously waiting for 5 Points Pizza to open, my girlfriend and I went last night for a late dinner and loved it. We ordered the vegetarian pizza and they loaded up the toppings! I don't think I've ever seen so many on a pie. I didn't get a beer, although I was eying their menu and they have a nice selection on tap. Tip: You're probably better off ordering a whole pizza (there are two sizes). I dare you to eat one slice and not any more, which makes more sense and saves you some money. I can't wait to go back and try their garlic knots! Oh boy.
(5)Zach S.
I've been in the habit of only reviewing places if i really like them or really hate them. So, this should help to break that habit. Yelp defines a 3-star rating as A-OK, which is how I see this place, probably even 3 and a half, but I wouldn't go as far as to say I am a fan and give it 4 stars. I would definitely eat here again, not anytime soon because I love trying new things, but certainly at some point. The garlic knots were tasty, the pizza was good, the booths were spacy, the restrooms were clean, and the prices were fair. But there wasn't anything that overly impressed me. I would say everything was "A-ok." Any real food critic has to dine somewhere multiple times, at varying times of day and sample close to everything on the menu before writing a review. However I ordered a single pizza and appetizer, and am giving you my two cents. If this place had less reviews I would feel guilty only giving it three stars, but I think it can handle my honesty. Hopefully this review doesn't discourage anyone from eating here, if you take away anything from this it is that I encourage you to eat here and enjoy it. It will be a fine meal if you like NY style pizza, but thats all it will be, a meal--not some out of this world food "experience".
(3)Babe M.
Born in New York and raised in Philadelphia there are no pizza joints in Nashville that can compare to those two. So I stopped comparing. There is something different about the pizza here that gets lost between the sauce and crust that keeps it from being similar in taste and texture to the pizza in New York and Philadelphia. Nonetheless there are some good pizza spots here in Nashville and five points being one of them. First off I have to warn you that it does get pretty crowded quick during the lunch hours which could set you back 15-20 mins before getting a morsel to eat. For starters garlic knots you can't go wrong with these monstrous twists of pizza dough piping hot and covered with garlic, parmesan cheese, and olive oil. They were delicious I solely recommend getting a full order that's just how scrumptious they were. Our pizza selection consisted of to 14" pizzas. Because of all the picky eaters that accompanied me I kept it simple and ordered a cheese and a South Brooklyn(my birthplace). The cheese was okay but I really enjoyed the South Brooklyn which had an olive oil base, sauce and basil baked into mozzarella. This was good Nashville style pizza! Prices are reasonable and service was good. Please be mindful of others when you come during lunch hours and not extend your dining experience longer than needed!
(4)Andrea R.
Holy yum! Best pizza I've had in Nashville so far and the garlic knots are top notch. I will definitely be visiting again even for a higher than I'd like to pay price.
(5)June S.
Amazing pizza and garlic knots. I lived in NYC for a while and hated leaving the pizza but found this gem. We live in 12th South so it's a bit of a hike to pick one up but totally worth it. If you haven't tried this pizza, you're a dumb dumb.
(5)Roger S.
New York style pizza done right, finally found a place in Nashville that can satisfy my pizza cravings. Friendly staff, definitely has a hipster/neighborhood pizza joint vibe to it, a great little place in east Nashville that has excellent pizza
(4)Josh M.
Hanging out over in 5 Points and we decided to grab some lunch. Started with a house salad as usual. WOW! This is a big salad for a house salad and at only $5 you can't beat it. Make sure and try the Mediterranean Feta dressing. MMM!!! Then we grabbed a 1/2 order of garlic knots. If you like garlic like we do, HELL YES! You must try these. If you don't like garlic, HELLS YES you must try these!!! The 1/3 order came with 5 piping hot knots of amazingness and a side of the most heavenly marina that I have tried in Nashville. So good you want to eat it like a soup! We were both stuffed at this point but we are at a pizza joint, we had to try the pie. She grabbed a cheese slice and I grabbed a basil and procuitto slice. Both equally good and quite large. Overall with a tip we spent around $25 for a lunch for 2. Will def be back next time were in the neighborhood!
(4)Steve T.
Garlic knots are crazy good. The pizza is good also but the grease is a little much. The salads have a little too much onion in them but they're still good. The wait staff are great and the location is primo. Anything in the Five Points area is super cool. All in all, good pizza but a little too much grease.
(4)Justin L.
Oh my gawd, this place is always solid. The crust is fantastic, the sauces are so good and the toppings... I just can't. I recommend the meatball pizza, no onions, add green peppers. You won't regret it. I also recommend the vodka sauce pizza. The service is always great. It might take a minute to get the pizza but you'll enjoy it.
(5)Geoff M.
Went to this pizza place with high expectations...left with my hands and face covered in grease. It was literally the greasiest pizza I have ever eaten and I like greasy pizza. It was so bad that my friend and I who are pizza fanatics and have never left a slice uneaten were both done after eating 2 slices of an 18" We both felt like shit after because of literally eating dripping wet pizza All of the waiters wear skinny jeans and think they are cool because they call the customers "dude" Make sure to wear a sweatshirt because they blast the AC even if it's pouring rain outside Also a fly was bothering us the whole time Was considering a move to the music city prior to eating here, but if this pizza is the best Nashville has to offer, I'm straight.
(1)Mark N.
Great food. Great service. Great beer selection. Been a couple times and love that you can order by the slice. Their three basic slices have so much flavor compared to average pizza places. The garlic knots are so delicious. Didn't know you could pack so much flavor into simple bread. They have a great selection of local beers that constantly rotate so their is always something interesting to try, but also have the classics to stick to as well. Great little pizza joint.
(5)Esther L.
Five Points Pizza is just the right spot when I'm looking for dine-in pizza and beer, minimal strings attached. If ordering to my house, I'll likely choose a less expensive option, but this is a fun atmosphere with high quality food and service. Usually one standard slice will suffice: cheese, pepperoni, and prosciutto & basil; special slices are also worth exploring, in the name of variety. Garlic knots might seem redundant in preceding more sauce and dough, but they're so wonderful that it's hard to say no. Sometimes I wish there would be more light appetizers offered, but the knots keep me coming back. The best dish from the menu that I've tried is the stromboli--two of us shared the Zeus. Baked perfectly with a crunchy exterior and oozing interior of meats, vegetables, and cheeses, this thing is amazing. Like it will amaze you. For a while. Beer selection is good; servers and bartenders are happy to explain what's available. Check out the weekday happy hour and lunch specials--you know I love a good bargain.
(4)Leigh W.
if it weren't for those freaking garlic knots Id give this place a 3.5. We did half and half pizza of both specials offered that day - 1 was a vegetarian cheese and a bunch of other stuff i can't remember and the other half was more like a meat lovers with ricotta. I thought in general everything was a little soft like borderline soggy. I like things a little crispier though. On the other hand, I was so excited when I saw those knots come out so much bigger then I expected. If its just 2 of you then a half order will be fine! I think there were 4 or 5 of them and they are large. They were amazeballs. The service was perfect too.
(4)Christine K.
Decent beer selection, and great pizza! Huge portions by the way with average prices. Definitely a must try if you're in the East Nashville area.
(5)Eric B.
The pizza is excellent, among the best I've had. The ambiance is less good--it's louder and more crowded than I really like. Solution: order it in advance and do take out.
(5)Krissy R.
Me & my friend from NYC checked this place out because she wanted NY style pizza. She was skeptical but was very very pleased after we left. The crust is definitely NY style and the topping choices delicious. (Prosciutto & basil - yum!) You can get individual slices. The lunch special is good - 2 huge slices and a drink for $8. We went on back to back days because we liked it so much. Will def be back.
(5)Andrew S.
Great pizza. But what I like most about Five Points Pizza is the service. Always friendly and attentive, something lost on a lot of service industry folk these days it would seem. Even getting an order to-go the guys behind the bar are consistently very pleasant and provide awesome service. Small stuff like hostesses or even servers opening the door when you leave with your hands full are not ignored and go a long way for me as a customer. Would certainly recommend to anyone in the area. Price is fair for good pizza. Clean. Get the garlic knots.
(5)Trevor T.
Great Pizza place and the customer service is good. They really accommodated my party of 11 on a short notice.
(5)Matt N.
OK. So, I have to admit I have been on a CRAAAZY pizza kick lately. And yes, I'm quite okay with that. In my humble opinion the overall pizza scene over the years in Nashville has been... to say the least, struggling. But, as the dining scene in town continues to heat up, we are thankfully getting more and more fabulous pizza options. Fresh, delicious, and inventive, Five Points Pizza is a MUST try for pizza lovers. They have some of the more inventive combinations I've seen around town, my favorite being the Vodka Sauce Pie. You HAVE to check this out-- it has fresh mozz, house-made vodka tomato cream sauce (amazing), spinach, mushrooms, red onions, prosciutto, garlic, basil, and romano. Absolutely DIVINE. If you don't feel like getting a whole pizza, you can choose from an assortment of slices in addition to some fab salads (my fav is the spinach Gorgonzola). Another item you cannot miss = the Garlic Knots. Seriously, these things are ridiculous.. and in a great way. An awesome beer selection, fun atmosphere, and in the heart of 5 points East Nashville (side note: you probably should go next door to 3 Crow and get a bushwaker for dessert) are a few of the reasons that round out why you should give Five Points Pizza a try. Tip: This is a small place and it fills up quickly on the weekends. Get here early for a table, or order to go!

I only got takeout, so can't comment on service or anything, but the pizza is GREAT. We picked up an 18" Vegan Pie and it was so, so good. Cudos for not only offering vegan cheese on any pizza, but coming up with a delicious vegan specialty pizza! Perfect ratio of sauce/cheeze/toppings and awesome chewy crust. I especially loved the whole roasted garlic cloves. Our order was ready in around 20 minutes on a Sunday afternoon. The inside looked nice too.

Heard so many good things about this place we had to try it. Went in a weekday and I was expecting a letdown with all the hype. I was pleasantly surprised to find the place warm and inviting and the pizza was fantastic. Ties for my favorite outside of NJ Great crust, excellent sauce/cheese ratio....just everything a pizza should be. Prices were right in line with the average. Would gladly drive 30 minutes to visit again and hope to soon. Interesting that many locals don't like pizza the way I grew up eating it, that is, they have been raised on chain stores like Papa Johns, etc. To me, that stuff isn't edible and belongs in a supermarket freezer. I suggest sitting in for your first visit and just go for a cheese pie. If a pizzeria screws that up, then you know. You won't be disappointed at 5 points.

We started with a half order of garlic knots and a house salad. The garlic knots were good, but my daughter didn't like the way they were served sitting in oil and cheese. She prefers dipping her bread in the oil/cheese. The salad was a good size and very fresh - it was plenty to share with another person. The pizza was a little too oily for my taste, but I still managed to eat 2 pieces. I loved that the place had a great neighborhood family feel. Hubby said they have a great selection of local beers.

Wow. Wow. Best pizza I've EVER had. Wow. I stopped in when it was jam packed to the bone during Tomato Arts Fest and only got a slice...holy wowwww it was so GOOD! I joke not when I say that I truly wished it would never end. I had the Caprese (margherita but with dressing) slice and the tomatoes whole & huge slices, not cut up pieces. The tomatoes were SO sweet, the cheese was amazing, and the balsamic (was it fig??) was amaaazing. I didn't love the crust, but because of the toppings, I would get this again in a heartbeat. Like I said, I went when it was jam packed, but I didn't wait very long...definitely not more than 10 mins, and the bartender(s) were really nice, calm, and apologized for the wait, even though they didn't need to!

Amazing pizza and casual fun atmosphere. Had the Super Bianca, amazing! Garlic knots are a must have app. The basil lemonade is very refreshing

We ate here shortly after they first opened, and we weren't impressed. Granted, we moved here from New York and so our standard for "New York Style PIzza" is high. (Well, it means we have had the whole gamut, but we know how good it can be.) We decided to give them another try a few weeks ago and they had improved a lot. They had a really nice local beer selection (Jackalope Thunder Ann is my jam right now) and we had the Old World (fresh mozzarella and basil) and we added prosciutto. SO GOOD! The crust was thin and tender, the sauce had excellent flavor, and the fresh mozzarella and prosciutto were really good. We ate the whole thing it was so good. This is a great option for a family looking for a delicious meal where 2 adults can eat and have a beer for about $30.

YUM. I have only good things to say about the food and the service here! Looks like a few people are complaining that the pizza isn't greasy enough? Ummm that's a positive for me! Delicious pizza you can eat without immediately hating yourself! It didn't taste TOO healthy to me, it was still pizza. The garlic knots are also superb. On the negative side, we have the typical East Nasty drawbacks: parking, small interior, out of the way (for me at least). There was a large group that had pushed almost every table together in the middle of the restaurant, and according to a server they had been there for hours. Our wait would have been much, much shorter were it not for them, but Five Points made up for it and then some with a free plate of garlic knots while we waited at the bar!
(4)Mary G.
Pricey pizza but absolutely delicious! Occasionally, even I can tolerate being overcharge just because the food is so darn good! It isn't any wonder this little pizza parlor was on a 20 minute wait, on a Thursday evening. Oh, can't forget about the service, very attentive and friendly.
(4)Kirk M.
OK, I'll buck the trend. I've been there probably 4 times, the most recent being today. I have always thought that the best way to judge a pizza joint is by having a plain cheese pizza, so that is what I had today. The pizza was good, but not great. The cheese was dried out on top, so perhaps it needs some greasy pepperoni on it to keep it moist. I appreciate that they have some craft brews, but to me their selection is a bit odd. The Porter has blueberries in it? Guess I'm old school. The stout today was good, but not great. Their dark beer choices have always been pretty good, but not great. Anyway, not a bad place at all, but I do wish the crust was softer and the cheese wasnt dry. Perhaps brushing the top of cheese only pizzas with some olive oil? I can see why East Nashvillians would be proud of their local joint, but I am not sure its worth going out of the way for. Update: I went back just a few days later and had another pizza, and it was completely different from the one a few days before. The two pizzas didnt seem to be from the some restaurant, as they were that different. I liked this one more. I asked the server if they serve two types of crusts, and was told there is some variation depending on who cooks. I was told to ask for it to be cooked less if I want the crust to be soft. I appreciated the insight, but would prefer consistency.
(4)Daniel S.
Garlic knots are awesome! Great flavor on the pizza and we enjoyed the salads (spinach Gorgonzola and Greek). We stayed at Opryland and it was worth the drive over.
(5)Nathan W.
I am a fan indeed. Well, who wouldn't be. It's pizza for goodness sakes. Whats not to like? I know, its a highly personal thing, pizza, but really people, what else would we all eat during the following events? *Sports *Non-Sports *Sport Like Activities (i.e. wrestling) *Hiking *Fishing *Weddings Pizza is the glue that binds us together. Is there really any other food that is more American than pizza. (sound of crickets) I know, falsehood, but really we have made this dish our own. Five Points Pizza takes this all American tradition to new heights. While parking is challenging and seating is limited, I promise you this, its worth it. A few highlights are the Meatball pie and the garlic knots. Those softball sized mounds of buttery, garlicky goodness are some of the best damn things ever. I don't know why they add the touch of fresh basil to them, but I guess it adds something because those things are fantastic. My son (2.5 years of age) likes to shove the whole thing in his mouth and then proceeds to frighten us all while he masterfully devours them whole. It's like watching a snake eat a small animal whole, jaw unhinged and all. I will add this last anecdote. When eating at five points pizza, don't be a fool and ask for thin crust, or deep dish. You get it the way it comes. If you wanted healthy pizza perhaps a cracker with tomato sauce is your thing. Here, tradition trumps all. It's a hipster paradise, and a damn good one at that.

This is the best pizza in Nashville. Most recently my wife and I met up with a couple of friends for dinner on a Friday night around 6:00. The restaurant is a little small, and everyone loves it, so there can be a wait on the weekends. We had a 30 minute wait for a table in this case, which we spent at the bar. The bar is in the back with a selection of beer and wine. It is a small bar with a small-town feel to it. It always seems like people are running into someone they know, and the bartenders seem to know a lot of the patrons who stop in for a drink or a slice. Their beer selection is perfect for a pizza place: 10 taps with an emphasis on local breweries, one of which is reserved for a high gravity selection. On this occasion, they had good people IPA on tap (a fantastic IPA out of Birmingham, AL with a smash of grapefruit and a crisp dry finish. It has become my go-to IPA since moving down south), so we were perfectly content grabbing a seat at the bar and waiting for our table. Once we were seated, we got an order of garlic knots, which are delicious (and have a ton of garlic) and $3 gets you an order of four. We ordered an 18" Zeus, which is our favorite pizza on the menu. Peporoni, spicy capicola, banana peppers, black olives, and feta cheese. Its got a little bit of kick to it with a touch of sweet, kind of like a good italian sub, and the black olives and feta give it a sort of greek salad finish. It also re-heats really well, so we always get the 18" whenever we go to ensure we will have plenty of leftovers! Our two friends ordered a build-your-own pie with pepperoni and jalapeno. The fresh jalapenos had some serious kick. The service was outstanding as always: attentive, kept an eye on our drinks, and patient with us when we kept forgetting to decide on our order. I will say the pizza is a little bit on the pricey side, and seating can feel a little bit cramped, especially in the tables by the doors. But once you have their pizza you will struggle to justify getting a pie anywhere else in Nashville.
(4)Justin B.
Best pizza in town. Good beer selection. All their pies bring it. And the garlic knots...gotta get the garlic knots, even if it means sacrificing some pizza or the salad. They're expanding next door soon and adding late night slices, so it'll get even better.
(5)Lance L.
Great Pizza, great other food too! The service is great, and they have a rotating beer selection, usually of some interesting local brews. I usually go to Five Points Pizza if I need my Italian food fix, mainly because the sauce they use in almost all if their dishes is delicious and could be ladled onto any italian dish. It's all about the sauce! The toppings are all quality. TRY THE GARLIC KNOTS! The service is always very good, the waitstaff and kitchen staff all are very busy and hard-working. The atmosphere is usually busy and bustling on weekends, a great place for families and friends.
(5)Cindy T.
Five Points is our go-to pizza joint! We have been dozens of times and it is always wonderful!!! We have had most every pizza and our favorites include: Old World, Meatball and T-Rex. We always share a salad because they are yummy and enough for two! Love the garlic knots too! Highly recommend!!
(5)Anthony C.
Best pizza in Nashville. Period. I was skeptical about a new pizza place opening in the neighborhood since Pizze Real, Castrillo's and Italia already gave the Eastside good local choices for a delicious slice, but then I came to my senses and realized that your neighborhood can never have too many options for pizza. Let's just say that while those other places can hold their own and make a mean pizza, they are merely the opening act for the spectacular headliner, which is Five Points Pizza. Nestled in the heart of Five Points in East Nashville, this unassuming storefront isn't boastful or trendy, but merges beautifully with the feel of this historic stretch of Woodland. Deceptively small from the outside, the inside of the restaurant stretches back and actually has ample seating in booths, tables, or room to belly up to the bar (great locals on tap-Jackalope, Yazoo, and Calfkiller) if you want to get your cold one a little quicker. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful, and the decor is a little rustic and well worn, which lends itself well to the age of the neighborhood and feels like it has been a part of it for years. We tried the sliced meatball, the pepperoni, and of course, the garlic knots. First of all, the garlic knots are phenomenal! Nicely toasted and drizzled with olive oil, fresh garlic, parmesan, and fresh basil on the outside, while still tender and fluffy on the inside. Yum...do not pass these up. As we finished our knots, the pizza was brought to the table. As sad as I was to move on from the garlic knots, our gorgeous pizza was there to console me and make it all better. First bite impressions, perfect thickness of crust--foldable, but still crispy without being cracker-like, and still enough breadiness for some chew and structural integrity to your slice. A great balance of fresh sauce, plenty of cheese, and a generous amount of pepperoni and sliced meatballs. The pepperoni was great, but the sliced meatball was AMAHZING! If you are in the mood for a whole pizza or just a quick slice, I would highly recommend Five Points. Friendly staff, reasonable prices, a great beer selection, and awesome pizza. What more could you ask for?
(5)Christine M.
This was hands down probably the best pizza I have ever eaten. Service was quick, pizza was cooked to perfection, tap beer selection was great (loved the bear walker), and the spinach gorgonzola salad was wonderful.
(5)Ekta S.
Ask and ye shall receive! We asked for good veggie pizza and that's what we received. Garlic knots are really good. Portion sizes are large and the slices are decent sized too. I liked that the pizza is made the way it should be- in a brick oven. Quick and efficient service. The place was humming at 10:30 pm on Saturday. Ask for roasted garlic on the pizza; and be sure your entire group eats it. LOL!
(5)Bret D.
This is the best pizza in town and the have a great selection of draft beers, many local. The basil and prosciutto pizza is incredible. If you go for lunch, definitely go for the 2 slice special with the drink. Quick, friendly service at the bar if you are in a hurry.
(5)Kim Y.
I dug it, but I agree with Kristen G's review about the grease. At first I thought she was just a Jersey/NY pizza elitist with a penchant for extra grease on her pie, but after trying it myself I agree! This is the healthiest seeming 'NY Style' pizza, well...ever? I guess I can paint a picture by explaining that I only used ONE NAPKIN the entire time I was there. All that aside, the marinara was delish and the fresh basil on my garlic knots was the meow. They have a rotating French Broad on tap along with some local and domestic selections. I think it'd be my new favorite joint should the pizza be $2 cheaper (18 inch veggie is $22) and the beer about .50 cents cheaper (draft runs $5 for a microbrew, which isn't too too bad) - but maybe the 5 points address runs steep? Husband and I showed up around 6:30 and were seated right away with a friendly smile and beer & garlic knots soon thereafter. About 30 minutes later was a different story as it started to get pretty packed. I recommend eating early! The place was full of families, but as a non-breeder myself, all of them were staggeringly well-behaved and I didn't mind it at all! I'm sure the scene changes a little as the night wears on - open til 11pm or midnight every night. Nice!
(4)Tabitha S.
Pizza is pretty good and the beer is served cold. The sauce is good and pizza is huge! Good tasting crust and toppings are good. I enjoyed it. Its a little small on the inside but its a good place to eat. If its too busy for your liking get the pizza to go, you wont regret it!
(4)Eliza R.
I have eaten at Five Points Pizza twice since they opened and they get a solid 4 stars from me! Speedy and friendly service, decent prices, good beer selection, a varied menu with unique specials, and - most importantly - delish pizza! I'm not actually huge on New York style pizza, but this is tops as far as thin crust goes. The cheese and toppings are fresh and tasty, with a good tang to the sauce as well. While you can certainly get a pizza to go, Five Points has a warm, relaxed atmosphere that beckons you to hang out with a group of friends over drinks and a pizza pie! If you're in the area, I highly recommend it! (And don't even bother with PizzeReal down the street.)
(4)Stacie L.
Eh, it's alright after 11pm. I am not a fan of the air puffed crust. It reminds me of cheap pizza, like Papa John's or Chucky Cheese. Maybe it's great to those who love New York style, but I am not a fan. The staff is great and the beer is good. However, I have yet to find a good pizza place in Nashville.
(2)Sarah A.
Great Pizza! Best in East Nashville!! We had the Meatball Pizza and the tomato sauce was nice and fresh and the pizza was far from greasy (like most). I was not in the kitchen but my taste buds say that my meal was fresh! The Garlic Rolls... Guilty Pleasure, Doughy Goodness!
(5)Andy W.
Love this place! The Woodstock is a can't miss. Five Points is our new go to pizza joint.
(5)Jenn Z.
Hot damn that is some tasty pizza! Five Points Pizza has been open in our hood for a while now, we first noticed them last year at the Tomato Festival slinging slices on the street pre-opening and the line was nuts so we opted not to wait and try it then. I am embarrassed to say we still hadn't stopped to try them in the almost year they have been open since and weren't able to get a table or a slice at Tomato Fest this year either. That is a good sign though! Fortunately I thought of trying a slice or two when we were headed to the Titans vs. Saints preseason game on a Thursday night. We were both pretty hungry and had no plans to eat over-priced stadium food and waste beer money. So, I ran in and ordered a Meatball slice for Elvis and a cheese for myself, added an order of garlic knots too. The Bartender who took my order was very pleasant, the bar was clean and tidy and all of the employees were tending closely to the patrons at tables. The restaurant is MUCH bigger than you would anticipate given the size of the storefront and has a pizza parlor feel with a more modern appeal. The tables are nicely spread out and there are booths in addition to the bar seating, this eased my worries about potentially bringing the kids. Parking however is crap. My order came out quickly and was piping hot! Being that we were heading to the game we had to eat in the car, that I wouldn't recommend but I must say the thinner style crust made it easy to fold the pizza in half ! The sauce was delicious, just enough of it too, greasy enough to be tasty but not so much so that it over powered the taste of the pizza. The crust was perfect for me, thin but not too thin and as I mentioned fold-able. Although his slice had so many meatballs he couldn't fold it as well, but he wasn't complaining and enjoyed the Italian meatballs both for seasoning and size. The garlic knots were a bit of a let down, the fresh basil baked onto them was impressive but wasn't enough to kick up the flavor. Without dipping them in the marinara they couldn't stand on their own taste-wise more like baked dough with some parmesan rather than a true garlic knot. I had hoped to get more garlic flavor, but paired with the sauce they were good enough. Five Points is definitely more expensive than your chain pizza joint - my cheese only slice ran $3.25 or so and his with meat was closer $4.00, the garlic knots are $5 an order (I think that's steep). I am guessing ordering a whole pie would be more economical and compared to slices at the Mall and I suppose it isn't bad considering the quality of the product compared to chains. We will definitely be back to Five Points, I am kicking myself for not trying them sooner!
(3)Rudy L.
Another great option for pizza in Nashville. Solid selection of pies and the garlic knots are a solid option. Their beer list is also an added bonus.
(4)Sarah S.
The garlic knot appetizer is soooo delish!!
(4)Derek E.
I've eaten here twice, once at the bar and once takeaway. Both times I split a salad and pizza with someone. The pizza is above average and a decent value. I really enjoyed the spinach and gorgonzola salad. The beer selection is good with local and national craft beer. Nice atmosphere and the staff seemed to be helpful. Great location if you want to hop around to a few different places. I'll be going back soon.
(4)Ted C.
The pizza was a delicious mess, I don't know how else to say it; not to say it wasn't a well made pizza but it was kind of thrown out there. I got a meatball and red onion slice and it was a terrific bunch of toppings on there-not neatly arrayed or anything but had plenty of meat and veggies to satisfy me (side note, I did eat elsewhere 15-20 minutes prior) and I thought it was terrific. They're open pretty late but we walked in a little before closing time and I didn't even know it-we weren't rushed or anything and they cleaned up around us without giving us the stink eye. In fact, one of us made the last minute decision to eat a slice and our waiter was nice enough to check if they had any left-even let us know that since they were about to close it might be too late. Thankfully, they hadn't tossed it out yet and were able to be served. Good, late night grease spot and surprisingly good late night service. Nice!
(4)Dylan C.
First trip to Nashville and friends took us here for our first dinner. This was a good NY style pizza. The garlic knots were good and the pizza was better. While it was a little greasy that is the best part of NY style. This is a little hipster place that has a good vibe going. Smallish on the sitting side but it is worth any type of wait. The noise level is loud enough to drown out other people conversations but not so loud you cannot talk to the people with you. I did not have any of the beer but my friends enjoyed theirs. Would recommend this as a good place to dine.
(4)Zac P.
Ordered take out on a busy Friday night and they only took 40 mins to have our order ready. The staff is very nice and always willing to help and answer any questions. The Vegan cheese they offer is the best around for the pizza. Having a spouse that is extremely lactose intolerant pizza is usually something that we cannot get together. But the vegan cheese passes for real cheese well and both were able to enjoy a meal together. The Vodka Sauce pizza is by far my favorite. It gets very crowded, but that is just a testament to the quality of the pies being served there.
(5)Jeremy E.
3.5 for the pizza. 4.5 for the people and beers. Pizza was very good, but not a Manny's or NY Pie. Beats the **** out of pizza real. People were very cool, and they have Jackalope and Yazoo on tap which will always get you an extra point in my book. If I was craving pizza while roaming East Nash, I would most def go back!
(4)Michelle '.
This place is amazing. From its perfect crust and quality toppings to its extensive local beer selection, I can find nothing wrong with it. I love the Super Bianca and Dave's Pie, but I also love pretty much everything else, and there's always a tempting special listed on the blackboard.
(5)Samantha S.
First off, I'm so excited about this location. It's a great place to get late night food on the east side without smelling like a cigarette pack when you leave. We stopped in yesterday to grab a couple of slices and an app. The pizza was decent but when you order by the slice, it's obvious they just heat it up in the oven before bringing it to your table... like a Sbarro. Which isn't a bad thing but I was expecting a tad more fresh. It was good though (I had a slice of artichoke heart and feta) and next time we'll be ordering a whole pie. They look delicious! Beer menu isn't too shabby either :)
(4)Sean C.
Fantastic garlic knots, prosciutto and basil pizza, and pesto pizza! Thanks Yelp for the recommendation!
(5)Molly L.
This is my favorite pizza in Nashville so far. I won't say I moved to East Nashville to be closer to it but it may have come up in conversation.... The garlic knots and meatball pie (it honestly is more like really awesome sausage pizza than what I think of as meatball pizza) are AMAZING. The beer selection is great (they even have Jackalope) and it's just a really solid local pizza place.
(5)Tyler D.
5 Points Pizza has my favorite pizza in all of Nashville. They serve it up NY style with big slices on perfectly thin crust with a wide variety of fresh cheeses, meats, and veggies. They are located in the hipster capital of Nashville in 5 points. My personal fave is the garlic knots served with a side of their incredible marinara. If they have a wait, don't fret. They will take your number and you can have time to go over to 3 crow to grab a drink! 5 points pizza is a must try for pizza lovers!
(5)Tyler N.
The beer selection is awesome with Jackalope & Yazoo on tap. You can see (and taste) the thought put into their pizzas. The service was wonderful. The space was cozy. I can't wait to return. I noticed a stack of high chairs so I'll be bringing my toddler during the next trip.
(5)Sue M.
Favorite Nashville pizza! I recommend the vodka sauce pizza and the t rex pizza. I also love the garlic knots and the basil lemonade
(5)Chris W.
I was visiting Nashville from Boston and got pizza from Five Points after seeing so many positive reviews. After eating 2 slices of pepper and mushroom pizza, I was mystified - the pizza was not good and neither were the garlic knots. The place was packed and the atmosphere was cool, but the sauce was flat - no tanginess - and the cheese didn't seem to have flavor either. The garlic knots were big and doughy, but also lacked flavor. The dude who sold me the pizza was really nice, but the pizza was worse than any local pizza I've had in Boston or NY. If this is the best local pizza Nashville has to offer, I'll have to go for Dominoes next time I'm in town, especially since I paid 30 bucks for food that my girlfriend and I agreed was surprisingly bad.
(1)Amy C.
Pretty damn awesome! The Meatball Pizza is as good as everyone says it is...GLAD I tried it...definitely on my list for one of the best pies in Nashville! Since this was my first trip to 5 Points Pizza...I was torn on what else to try. Our server suggested getting a 1/2 and 1/2 pizza, this way i could MAXIMIZE my flavor tasting experience...pure genius! With that said, we also ordered a 1/2 and 1/2 Zeus and Caprese, also awesome, but not as awesome as the Meatball. So if you are still reading my review, you are probably getting the strong impression that I really liked the Meatball Pizza and you would be right. Do yourself a favor and try one for yourself...I don't think you will be disappointed.
(5)JD M.
I've eaten at 5 Points Pizza a few times - the first time a few weeks after they opened, and a couple of times since then. I love pizza but I wouldn't say I'm a pizza connoisseur. I do like a greasier pizza and a tad chewier crust. With that in mind, I wasn't overly wowed by 5 Points. I've "build my own" pie and wasn't too impressed by it, especially since they offer pretty ordinary toppings. I thought the Sausage Ricotta Pie was pretty good, but $18 for a 14" pie .... damn! But what sets the foundation for a pizza is its crust, and theirs was not memorable to me. I've also had the garlic knots that so many people are crazy about. Just okay ... doesn't Pizza Hut have something like that? All in all, I don't jump at the chance to go but I can definitely see the attraction for others. Good ambiance, decent selection of beer, and okay pizza. But ... a tad expensive and the wait, ... god help me, the long wait for a seat!! Please, please, please, take reservations!!
(3)Hope D.
This New York style pizza is incredible! And the location couldn't get any better especially after a long night out at the local bars. The service is great too! Immediately upon entering the restaurant I had deja vu! It's identical to a pizza joint I used to go to in the Castro in San Francisco! Maybe even yummier! And yes, the garlic knots are also delicious!
(5)Mandi R.
I love this pizza. We always get "The Dave" which is a simple prosciutto and basil pizza. Delish. Service is always fast and the beer is ice cold. Lots of local drafts. I just wish they delivered!
(5)Madeline L.
This place has the best pizza in Nashville. No question about it in my mind. The Old World (Marinara, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil) is absolutely amazing. Add some tomatoes on top and it is perfection. Their crust is nice and flaky and almost buttery (in a good way). The garlic knots are also delish, but it is a huge order, so be careful. Their spinach salad is also awesome. The service is always great and friendly. I absolutely recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.
(5)Angie S.
First time in the area and we wanted Pizza. Read the Yelp reviews and gave it a try. We had the meatball pie and the vodka sauce pie with garlic knots. All three were excellent! I would definitely eat here again!
(4)Rebecca L.
July 15, 2012 Quick dinner on my way out of town---Nashville weekend is over :( This review is coming straight out of the land of excellent pizza-Chicago. Five Points Pizza is excellent-tasty, speedy and super friendly service. We ordered slices---LOVE this option. Big and floppy--fold them over NY style OR be really clever like we were and request they slice them all in half so everyone can share every kind of pizza! We got Classic Cheese; Meatball, Prosciutto & Basil; and Spinach, Mushroom, & Gorgonzola We also ordered Garlic knots. Meatball was the least favorite of the crowd. I have to say the Prosciutto & Basil was bomb. Veggie option was great and I love that it was the slice of the day thereby giving the veggies more choices without having to order a whole pizza. Garlic knots were also very good. I am a big believer that the best judge of a pizza place is the classic cheese slice--the sauce and crust stand out and the quality of the cheese is a pretty good indication of how much they spend on their ingredients--this one did not disappoint. Superior thin crust option. Also--they have drink specials! $4 pints of good beer. Wish I could come here more often.
(5)Caitlin C.
I really really liked Five Points Pizza. Pizza is a tricky thing to me, you see...it's hard to get past "couldn't I just have made this at home?", hard to get past "couldn't I just throw one of those cheapo Tombstone frozen pizzas in the oven?". So needless to say I don't really go out for pizza. And I've been to soooo many pizza places where the food was just...okay. When I do eat pizza it's usually a spur of the moment plan to satisfy a craving while I'm out and about; our trip to 5 Points Pizza was just that. After we imbibed some freebies at the February Yelp Elite event, my date stated we should go for pizza. I immediately thought it was the best idea ever presented to me and off we went to 5 Points Pizza. We were immediately seated at their 2 person booth. Although they gave us menus, I ended up deciding in 30 seconds that we were going to order the garlic knots with marinara dipping sauce and a Hawaiian pie to split - I don't even know what other options they have. I could tell the place was busy but the bartender came over and took our orders right away. He was very friendly and laid back and quite frankly made the experience we had enjoyable. Although the place was busy, it wasn't frantic in a negative sort of way. The servers were all upbeat and working their butts off to get orders in and out to tables. Our food came out soon enough and I have to tell you the marinara was 5 stars alone. It is sweet, slightly chunky and very tomatoey without any hint of bitterness. I was so full on garlic knots we ended up taking half our pizza home. I liked the Hawaiian, it comes with pineapples, spicy capocollo and jalapenos. I love when I have left overs, and we had plenty, our server boxed them up for us and even stuck a freshened up marinara tub in there for us! I've heard that since they've opened they have made a lot of changes to their general approach and service, so I can only assume this place will just get better and better. Definitely worth eating here for sure!

Easily, and I do mean easily, the best Za in the Ville. The beer list is great, the hipster vibe is cool but unpretentious. The service is good and the pizza is great. I've had many a pizza, New York, Chicago, Naples and what these guys do is pristine. So don't wonder why it's always busy, just go try it and you'll understand. I mean absolutely fantastic.

One day during a recent trip to Nashville, Mr. Babypants passed out in his seat and lunch had to be had in the car. Fast food drive through is the easiest (laziest?) option in this instance but there was no way in hell I was going to waste a vacation meal on a chain. Luckily we were close by Five Points, a small commercial district that splinters off of Gallatin Pike in East Nashville, so I popped into Five Points Pizza and ordered slices. I didn't take in much of the interior design other than it fits into that increasingly common contemporary-and-sleek-but-a-little-bit-rustic-Âand-industrial milieu. All I remember is that I immediately felt like I made the right decision. I bypassed the greeter and went straight to the bar to order carryout. The bartender was friendly and easygoing, quickly and pleasantly explaining how Five Points does what it does to this first-time customer. Prosciutto and basil and straight pepperoni slices were the most appealing on that day's lineup and 10 minutes later they were ready. The New York-style crust was cracker crisp on the bottom, breaking into odd-shaped shards when folded in half. Each slice was perfectly composed, filling without being heavy. A+, would do business again.

I love 5 Points Pizza. My husband loves it even more. He invited me on a "date" for dinner there one night, and there I found out he'd already been there that same day for lunch! Great pizza, fresh ingredients, great service (even when something goes wrong), and the best garlic knots around. My favorite is the Dave's slice with prosciutto, fresh basil and parmigiano reggiano cheese. The crust is always delicious and the beer there is good too. Their spinach salad is a nice light choice if you're not in the mood for a slice. With dried cranberries, red onions and blue cheese crumbles--try the viniagrette dressing, it goes great. We always feel at home here, whether for lunch or dinner. It does great crowded on weekend nights, so if you have a larger group or family, going earlier is better. I do love how many different types of customers there are there. Singles, couples, hipsters, families, everyday Joes -- all are welcome here.

Seriously great pizza. Perfect garlic knots. I haven't had better in town yet. Service is always awesome too. Never had a bad experience here. Haven't had better pizza in Nashville.
(5)Carolyn S.
The red sauce pizza is better than the white. The restaurant is very small, so get there early if you have a crowd, lots a craft beers on draft. I'll try it again, but I'm not sure I would recommend it to others.

We will make the trek gladly to the East side just for this pizza. We almost only ever get the meatball pizza, so this is mostly a review of that particular pizza. If you haven't tried it, you must. It's a tinge pricier than an average pizza takeout, but the price is in the quality. Our experiences with whole pies have generally been better than ordering just by the slice, but even their slices are better than other pizza places in Nashville. If you haven't been yet, go.
(5)Jabari M.
Great Pizza. My favorite item is the spinach stromboli. Nice and cozy atmosphere. They have beer which is a plus for most of us guys!!
(4)Dagan B.
really good pizza isnt easy to find. this place has really good pizza. desano is the best . knead dough in hendersonville and five points are neck and neck.
(4)Hayleigh G.
I'm a pizza lover! And Five Points Pizza is some of the best pizza I've ever had! When I come back to Nashville next month for the Tyler Bryant and the Shakedown show at Exit/In, I'll definitely be stoping in for some awesome pizza and some amazing garlic knots!!
(5)Bradley M.
Been to Five Points Pizza a handful of times, despite living miles away, after hearing about how great it is. Have taken orders to go, and eaten inside... Casual, cozy environment inside the restaurant. Staff has been attentive and pleasant each and every time. The pizza is delicious and blows the various chains away. Well worth checking out if you find yourself around this area of Nashville.
(5)Ruben M.
Okay okay okay... This is such an amazing pizza place! Best thing about it, other than the food, is the atmosphere! Felt really at home, like I was back in LA or Chicago. Great vibes. Cute staff. Pizza was amazing! But the knots where astounding! Must eat!
(5)Meredith S.
This pizza was amazing! I love pizza, but I'm a tough judge when it comes to "real" pizza, and this is real pizza. My husband and I were visiting family in Nashville when we stopped in for some lunch. The six of us shared an ordered of Garlic knots, they were so delicious. The marinara sauce on the side was the perfect combination of sweet and salty. Then my husband and I ordered one slice of meatball pizza (the special) and a slice of Dave's. The meatball was topped with fresh and shredded mozzarella, meatballs, red onions, garlic, pecorino Romano and Dave's is Prosciutto, fresh basil, pecorino Romano. Dave's was really really good, but the meatball was probably the best slice of pizza I've ever had. I looked around and most people had either ordered a slice of meatball or Dave's but I also saw alot of people with really great looking salads. They have a fantastic beer selection; bottled and draft (the prices were just ok though). The staff was so talkative and helpful and the service was very quick. There is alot of seating for parties of all sizes and it seems to have a great reputation already for being a newly opened business. I could've eaten at Five Points Pizza everyday...if you are in the neighborhood you need to stop in and try a slice!
(5)Phillip M.
Since Chicago is my hometown, I've always have had very high standards when it comes to pizza.I was at this restaurant on the day before Christmas Eve as I was heading down to Florida with my family. The service that we received from the waiter was good and the pizza wasn't bad going by Chicago standards!.I also tried the garlic knots and those were good too.
(3)Katie W.
I sing the praises of this pizza goodness all the time, so I figured I should tell the world why... Since they opened a few months ago, I've been to 5 Points Pizza maybe 10 times, or a lot more. The first few visits, I had the signature Dave's Pie slice, and loved it. With prosciutto and fresh basil, it was so simple, flavorful and delicious! Since then I have usually opted for whatever their special slice of the day is, and pretty much never been disappointed. From well seasoned Italian meatballs with fresh red onion & banana peppers, to roasted red and yellow peppers with feta, I have always been very pleased with my choice. The crust is fantastic, in MY opinion. I understand that the reason places offer thick/thin/cheese-stuffed/square crust is that everyone has a very personal preference when it comes to pizza. I enjoy theirs. It's thin, but not super-thin and crackery. It has substance, but isn't too bready. It's pretty plain and let's the sauce and toppings take over. For the record, I haven't had the opportunity to try their specialty pies, as the beau that I am always dining with is a strict pepperoni pizza-tarian. He just doesn't feel that anything can beat the classic, so he sticks to it. We have had the garlic knots, which are tasty(again, topped with fresh-cut basil) and WAY more than I thought we would get for the $5 that they cost. They offer a couple of salads, both of which I have had & enjoyed. I wish the salad bowl were a bit larger... After adding my dressing, the tiny bowl to bountiful salad ratio leaves zero room for mixing, tossing, what have you. As the previous Yelper noted, a pizza slice is served on a paper plate. I don't know why, and until reading that review I hadn't really given it any thought. I am so ashamed. I am an East Nashvillian, I have my own reusable grocery bags, I downgraded to a more fuel-efficient car, and apparently my oversight regarding the paper plate conspiracy has put me out of line with my community's values. Honestly, I don't know what is up with the paper plates. True, it doesn't fit with with anything else in the restaurant, but it's a new business. Perhaps reusable plates are on the horizon when they reach some business goal. I think their food is delicious, but as a new business, there are a couple of details they could probably use our input on. Bigger salad bowls, ceramic plates to match those awesome salad bowls. Maybe a special salad or app every so often. If we all love one of them enough it could be in the running for a new menu item??

We stopped in before leaving for our 9.5 hour drive back home to Milwaukee. Pizza was great, I loved their daily special slices. And those garlic knots.. ugh so good. Beer on tap, plus a good crowd and mixture of people. Reminded me a lot of Classic Slice (for anyone familiar with local Milwaukee pizza places) - except even better. Glad we found time to stop in before leaving town. We'll be sure to stop in again the next time we find ourselves down south. One more thing though! When we were hitting the bars, we would have loved to have grabbed some pizza from here afterwards. Wish they were open later!
(5)LJ J.
Possibly the best pizza I've ever had. Ordered the garlic knots + a single slice of cheese pizza. Both were to die for! I managed to eat the whole slice of pizza, but be warned - they are huge slices. I didn't even make a dent in the garlic knots so I took them to go. Only got water to drink so can't really comment on drinks, but the beer selection looked decent. The bartender was attentive and sweet, best service I've gotten so far in Nashville! My only negatives are the hours - they're open till midnight on the weekends, but that's it. I feel like they're missing a lot of late night business, myself included! Also, the parking situation confused me, but I'm not from here so maybe that's why... found a spot on the street pretty easily though.
(5)thomas h.
Best pizza in town. You are entitled to your own opinion but if you disagree you're wrong.
(5)Stefanie P.
Five Points Pizza is New York pizza. That means very thin, with alot of toppings. Its in 5 points, parking can be a challenge and prime dinner times, especially the weekends are slamming. For take out, it's usually a 30 - 45 minute wait but the pizza is good. For in service dining, I recommend going early. Cool music, nice friendly servers, and interesting slices of the day. I had a pepperoni, mushroom and some other meat that was great. My favorite are the garlic knots. If you like garlic, oil, basil and cheese this is your dish. We always get it. I would rather eat garlic knots then pizza most days. They have a good selection of local beers on tap. Dave's pizza was our favorite slice we got. Dave has got it right. I would say to me its a little bit expensive for a whole pizza $22 for a large that could feed atleast 4 people. However, I think about the $5 HOT N you know what's ready to come out you back side type pizza and it that spectrum ... yes, its worth it. A slice will run you $3-$5 but is filling. Hooray for local bizness n stuff.

Five Stars! From the moment when we were greeted, waited at the bar, and waited on the experience, food, and staff could not have been better!! Very attentive staff and excellent food!!
(5)Christian S.
3.5 stars Five Points Pizza has the best New York-style pizza I've had in Nashville. Not that there's much competition. The staff was friendly and service was quick. I had a slice of cheese and a slice of pepperoni, late night. Both were quite tasty. All this said, it's too expensive - $3.25 for a slice of cheese, $3.75 for a slice of pepperoni, $16 is the base to start building an 18" pizza; there's just no reason for that in Nashville. I get that it's in a prime, convenient location, but I would literally *frequent* this place if they cut their prices 30%.
(3)Anna A.
It's hard to believe there is room for yet another pizza place in East Nashville but alas, there is. My positives are that the pizza was pretty good but I agree the crust was pretty crunchy so not the NY style foldable pizza. The ambiance is good and they offer the kiddos some dough to play with. They also have a decent offering of beers. Recently a friend of mine was going to purchase some pizzas to pick up for our gathering. She stopped in on her way to run another errand prior to the dinner rush to make the order and pay for it and then another one of us was going to pick it up. The server said "well I guess we could do it that way but it will be really annoying." After 10 minutes and a few other people reminding her of the inconvenience, she gave up and got our pizza somewhere else. weird.... My biggest beef though is that I think it's pricy for what it is. I mean it's pizza and beer and I just had some sticker shock with a couple of pies and a couple of beers coming out to $60.
(3)Constance S.
Oh my damn! The pizza is great..... I'm hooked
(5)Jessy Y.
I am one of those weird Americans who doesn't want to eat pizza for every meal. I was the crazy kid who ordered spaghetti at Pizza Hut growing up. Now, married to a pizzaholic, I eat my fair share of pizza, and I have to say that Five Points Pizza is the best pizza joint in Nashville right now -- and that's a big honor coming from me, who usually doesn't like it if a pizza place doesn't offer a pasta counterpart. I am a fan of New York-style pizza, and this is the closest thing we've got here in Music City. Being able to be seated immediately the handful of times I've been is a huge point (ahem, Mafiaoza's), and offering up pizza by the slice for those of us who are pretty much done after one or two pieces -- yes, please. Especially when you are also serving up cheap $5 garlic knots, basically greasy, carb-y, delicious hunks of bread to dunk in a sweet-salty marinara sauce. (And I do judge my pizza joints based on the sauce -- RIP, Da Vinci's.) The pizza itself is big slices, on crust that's the perfect balance between thick and thin, served on paper plates, the kind you have to fold in half to eat. I usually get it by the slice -- once we got a whole pie, and the topping options are much better, but it gets a little pricey. The beer isn't cheap either, but they do have a good selection. Go after 10 on a weeknight (not sure about happy hour on weekends) to get $5 for a slice and a beer. That's a better deal than you get from most food trucks around here.
(4)Ian R.
Good Pizza, nice location, kid friendly, wallet bruising. Five Points Pizza is a pretty decent pizza joint all things considered. I dug the pizza, thought the crispy crust was spot on and had a pretty good time. Me and the boy split a slice of cheese and a slice of pepperoni and I had a house salad. It was all good and I imagine we will be back soon for more. That being said, the prices are on the steep end. 3.25 for a cheese slice and 4.75 for draft beer is pretty steep in this town. The quality is there, but I have a hard time justifying $10+ per person for pizza with so many good options in town. I consider this a temporary review until I have had a few more exposures. The place was packed on a Friday night so I imagine they will be around a bit longer to test out. If nothing else Five Points Pizza is worth a shot if you are on the east side and want a sit down pizza experience. Recommended with few reservations

Dear Five Points: FOOD ALLERGIES ARE NOT A JOKE!!! Based on the Yelp ratings, we decided to drive 25 minutes to try their vegan pizza. I have food allergies, and vegan pizza is within my safe, non-dairy diet. I told the waiter that my allergies were severe and he assured me that our order would be safe. Several minutes later, he returned to tell us that the cooks had declined the order because the cooler had broken the night before and, as a result, they were using a substitute dough which contained milk. Almost at the same time, our appetizer was delivered, which we therefore had to refuse. Within a minute or two, he returned to the table to report that the cooks had 'joked' to him about the milk, and that all of the food in our order was safe. I am sorry, but a restaurant should take food allergies seriously. We asked to speak with the manager, who reiterated that it was all a joke. Food allergies are not a joke, and we could not trust a kitchen staff who would treat any food allergy as such to not add a bit of the offending ingredient as another 'joke'. Food allergies cannot to be taken lightly, and the management and staff there clearly need training in food allergy safety and customer service. We left and enjoyed an excellent, allergy-safe meal at the seafood restaurant next door.

Quite a conundrum, I spend most my time complaining that the food in the South is too fattening. Exhibit A, the 17 pounds I gained moving here. Then I write a review that 5 Points Pizza is too healthy. I still stand by my review HOWEVER their healthy stromboli was a welcome option to what I'm battling down here. I schooled the waiter in the calzone versus stromboli debate, calzone covered, stromboli more like a croissant. I still want more grease and it's still not NY but it's growing on me.
(4)Randall G.
This Pizza rocks. I ordered a slice while I waited for the pie to take out and loved it. I then took the pie home and my wife and mother in law loved it. I've had pizza in New York and pizza in Italy and I can say that 5 pts got it just right. Thinner crust, slightly crispy without too much sauce. We ordered the Supreme and will be ordering it again tonight. Also had a house salad which was delicious. Seems like a pleasant atmosphere to eat in. If you want to enjoy the crispyness then sit down and eat there. If you want it to soften up a little, take it home. Thanks for delivering a much needed answer for quality pizza in East Nashville. I'm hooked.
(5)Jen W.
The best pizza joint in Nashville, as far as I can see. I don't usually give 5 star ratings unless something blows my mind.. and the service here certainly did. We come every month or so usually on a Sunday. Last week the place was insanely slammed and I have never seen servers hustle the way they did. One hipster-esque server was literally jogging from the tables to the back register to get people their bills. Previous reviews have covered the fantastic pizza in detail, so I wanted to give 5 Points props for their consistent and great service.
(5)Megan M.
It's generally unfair to judge a place that just recently opened as most need time to work the kinks out. But my first experience at Five Points Pizza is Five Star worthy! The location is fabulous, and they are open until the early morning hours on Fridays and Saturdays which I think is very smart to get the late night munchies crowd. The interior is cute and clean (well I should hope so after being open only two weeks) with booths, tables, and a bar. Service for lunch was fast and friendly. We both had house salads, which were pretty large, filling, and fresh. I had a slice of cheese and a slice of the special, which was prosciutto, fresh basil, and pecorino romano. Both were delicious!! There are numerous whole pie options including vegetarian, Greek, Old World, and build your own. There's an appetizer called Garlic Knots which we didn't try but sounds heavenly, and four different salad options. There is also draft and bottled beer (yay!). Excellent addition to Five Points and I will be back!
(5)Lindy B.
5 Points Pizza is open for business as of today! It is located in the heart of 5 Points in East Nashville right on Woodland. I attended a soft opening last week and I can't wait to go back! The owners are super friendly, the atmosphere is casual, modern, and relaxing. They have a great beer selection and every dish we tried was amazing! We started out with the warm, garlic knots, then a caprese salad, then 2 different pizzas, THEN canoles!! Yes, we were stuffed! The Old World pizza was the table fave. It has fresh mozzorella and fresh basil. The crust is just the right amount of crunchy and soft. As of now they are just open for dining in, but they plan on doing carryout (maybe delivery?) soon. This palce is definitely a must try!!
(5)Angel G.
OMG! :D I love this place. I was riding around yesterday just looking for a nice pizza place, one that isn't a chain like Pizza Hut or Papa John's. I wanted REAL pizza, and boy did I get it. I bought a slice of pepperoni, and it was divine! It was exactly what I wanted. And the slice was huge too! I'm definitely going there again!
(5)Kristen F.
I am SO glad that East Nashville has this restaurant, it is really good! I know that we have PizzaReal but this place is definitely giving them a run for their money! The pizzas are awesome and the crust is thin, which I like. The atmosphere is nice, but go early or later or else you'll be in there with tons of kids and families. That being said, it is a good place for any age. I wish they had a few more specialty pizzas to choose from, but of the ones they have they are really good. I've been back several times and will continue to go there!
(4)Kyleigh J.
I really enjoyed this place! I stopped in while on a road trip from Texas to North Carolina, and I'm so glad I did. They had local craft beers and great pizza! It was inexpensive and delicious. Even the beer was reasonably priced!
(5)Dan D.
It seems like yesterday that we moved to Nashville, and there were hardly any local pizza places in the core area. There was DaVinci's and Pizza Perfect and that was it. Now there is an overwhelming selection, and while Five Points Pizza is a little late to the party, they've made a fashionable entrance into the scene. We have a baby, so we wanted to come at a time when it wouldn't be difficult to find a seat and we wouldn't have to barge through with our baby carrier. That proved difficult, because this place is really popular. Here's how it works. There's a menu with a few appetizers and salads. There are three everyday options for pizza-by-the-slice: cheese, pepperoni, and what's called "Dave's Pie"--it has prosciutto and basil and some other toppings. Then there are "special slices." I had a slice of meatball pizza and a slice of cheese. I also opted for a Yazoo Gerst on draft. The beer was the coldest I've ever had at any restaurant. That was definitely a good start. We didn't get any appetizers, but the pizza came in about ten minutes. Here's what you need to know about the pizza: -it's not greasy at all -the ingredients are very high-quality -you can tell that the crust and sauce are well thought-out. -the crust isn't floppy, it's thin and firm, but not dry and crumbly. It's not stereotypical "new york style," but it gets the best features of the style correct. Some people are really picky about their pizza, so FPP can't please everyone. But it pleased me! We'll definitely be regulars, albeit at off-peak hours.
(5)Amy O.
Garlic knots are amazing. The 18" inch pizza was enough to feed a at least 5 people. The dave's pizza was simple, yet tasty. Great beer selection as well.
(4)Josh M.
I actually had pizza from here twice over this past weekend. A friend of mine showed up with some leftovers, so I tried a slice and decided I had to check this place out for myself. My wife and I ordered the Greek with Italian Sausage added to half of it, as my better half is a pescachickentarian. It was good, but I think I prefer the classic Pepperoni I sampled earlier. The pizza is NY style with pieces that can be folded, If that's your thing. Also, it tastes like the crust is coated with oil and garlic. Based on what I've heard, I plan to go back to try the Garlic Knots.
(4)Min M.
Love the friendly efficient service. Love the pizza. Great beer. Our favorite thing to order is the spinach ricotta Stromboli, a slice of pizza and a house salad to share. Wish the salads were a little more interesting. Would love to have a lightly dressed arugula salad to pile on my pizza. Also would appreciate a better vinaigrette.
(4)John B.
Wonderful Garlic Knots, their signature item!!! Worth returning to just for that. Their pizza's a 4-star quality, nice selection, fresh ingrediants. It's their Garlic Knots quality that pushes them up to a five-star selection. Have gone 3 times in the past 5 weeks, and the knots are just as great as ever.
(5)Carolyn M.
Yum. As soon as I saw the complaint that it isn't greasy enough, I knew it was for me. The vegetarian is great. Looking forward to the prosciutto asap. Maybe later today even...
(5)Jess K.
My entire family is obsessed with this place! Best pizza in Nashville. I don't eat red meat and the Bianca is amazing! My father and husband are crazy about the Zeus! Love the atmosphere and employees are sweet and attentive. Every time we go here I do a Facebook check in just to bring them some biz! As an owner of two small businesses in this economy, you must understand do anything, something great and people will come! Our Nashville businesses must stand out in today's market and this one does! Kudos! We will keep coming back as long as they are open! Beers are awesome too! You can't substitute anything which may annoy some but Five Points is running on great recipes, efficiency and a quick serving model!
(5)Bob R.
Very fast service. The pie were crispy on the bottom and loaded on top. Excellent pizza for Nashville. We will be back.
(4)Gina M.
If you order a topping on half your pie it is half price. I love that. Very good pizza. Nice atmosphere. Park outback for free parking.
(4)Susan S.
I'm not a pizza snob at all - I enjoy all kinds - I just want it to be GOOD. And damn, this was unexpectedly f'ing delicious. I had a slice of the meatball (with fresh & shredded mozz., red onion and thinly-sliced meatball) and the flavors were absolutely great. It was also nice to have a crust that was crisply from the center to the crust. But again, the flavor...so good! Quite possibly the best pizza I've ever eaten. And the garlic knots w/ fresh basil were pretty damn good, too. Maybe the reviewers that complain about this not being authentic NY pizza or "not greasy enough" need to just try it without any thoughts of what it should be. Pretend it's not pizza, it's just dinner. Great food is great food.
(5)Rachel M.
I had been intrigued by this place since I read about it in the Nashville Scene a few months ago and became even more so when I read about it on Yelp. Besides the fact that I looove 5 points (as in, wish I could live there love), I also looooove pizza. Basically, I'd been chomping at the bit to go, but every time my husband and I went out, we always ended up somewhere else...until this past Thursday (7-19 for those like me that would be like "gee thanks, this past Thursday, that helps"). Thursday nights are apparently great times to go because we were seated right away. The staff was very friendly and was readily available if we had any questions. We started with the garlic knots everyone raves about. They were pretty good, but I would have liked them doughier (that's a word, right?). They were a little hard for my taste. I'm one that barely lets biscuits get done, though, so don't let that discourage you from trying them. They weren't rock-hard or anything. We chose the T-rex, athough I was immediately jealous when the I saw the Dave's that the table next to us ordered. Next time. Anyway, our pizza came out...oh my gosh. It was damn near perfect. Just greasy enough that you know it's bad for you but not greasy enough to make you care. And the 14'? Plenty big enough. My husband, who can usually eat most of a pizza by himself, could only eat 2 slices. We took half of the thing home. I can also say that it tastes excellent out of the fridge when you are trying to decide what to eat for breakfast AND it even tastes great reheated (I normally hate reheated pizza). So, yeah, I now officially love this place.
(5)Hillary Y.
I really wanted to give it more stars, and I think it's fair to consider the other reviewers that say it's new and I will more than likely give it another shot later on down the road. The atmosphere: small but charming. Love the interior of the space. Great roomy booths. Really cool place. The Menu: pretty basic. I'd like to see an expansion with more offerings in the salad category and some other apps. We got the garlic knots and they were pretty yummy, if not a bit coated in oil. The Pizzas: good offerings-- nothing with chicken really, and pretty much just more of the classic varieties. The crust is very chewy and yummy. The sauce leaves something to be desired, the hubs + me weren't really into it, but other diners seemed to like it. The Beer: a decent basic selection. I'm sure that will also be expanded in time. The Prices: The prices seemed a little high. The Verdict: I'll wait 6 months and try it again and revise my review if it needs it.
(3)Adam L.
Some of the better pizza I've had in Nashville...second to only Pizza Perfect. What can I say...been going there for 15+ years and it delivers every time. Still, FPP was very good. Went with the spinach and onion. The whole family loved it and the kids enjoyed playing with the dough while we waited for the pizza. Beer selection is fantastic as well...went with the sampler myself. Great atmosphere. Wish we lived closer.
(4)Jacob H.
So a reviewer mentioned the garlic knots, and my girlfriend says "we should get the garlic knots" Good Idea. VERY good idea. Their marinara dipping sauce is better than most pizza sauces. The pizza, is divine. We had a half Meatball/Red Onion/Tomato, the other half was Spinach/Gorgonzola/something else...it was amazing. What it was doesn't matter. NY Style, toppings ALL the way to the edes of the crust, glorious toppings. My rule is always order a bigger pizza, and have leftovers. My girlfriend and I only ate half the 18". And I had to help her a bit. It was great. DRAFT SELECTION. My standing rule for Nashville will be that you only get 5 stars, if I like your draft selection. For me to like your draft selection, I better see at least 1 local brew! They had Jackalope & Yazoo (DOS PERROS!) on tap. It's a personal mission, that everytime I visit Nashville, I have 1 pint of Dos Perros. It completes me. Please visit this awesome pizza place, if it's a little out of the way, it's WORTH IT.
(5)Patrick F.
Pizza and service we excellent but the cost of a soda was way high so go ahead and get a beer or just drink water. Clean restrooms and overall good vibe.
(3)Ong L.
my favorite pizza joint in nashville! it's affordable. i get a gigantic slice of pepperoni pizza with extra banana peppers on the side every time i go there. and it costs less than $4.00! the crust is thin and crunchy, the toppings are generous, and the sauce is just right.
(5)Kevin M.
I walked into Five Points Pizza tonight and after all was said and done, it was not what I expected. As a resident of East Nashville, I am always pleased to see new businesses pop up. My girlfriend and I had been planning on eating there since we heard about the place opening. When i walked up to the front door, I saw a half-full restaurant with a group of six waiting to be seated. I tried to open the door, but the people wouldn't move to let me inside. This was not because they were inconsiderate, but because there was no room for them to move. No waiting area and barely enough room for those six people to stand comfortably. After I was seated, we looked over the menu and i was disappointed to see that there was only one item listed as an appetizer- the garlic knots. We decided against them and went straight for the salad and slices. I have to say, there could have been more salad choices. There were two salads. We each ordered the same thing- a house salad and a slice of pepperoni pizza. The salads came quickly and consisted of lettuce, mushrooms, and grape tomatoes which were topped with grated mozzarella cheese and a balsamic vinaigrette dressing ($5 each). they tasted about how they looked and were the size of side salads, but left something more to be desired. Shortly after finishing the salads our pizza slices arrived. The server set them down on the table and i noticed that they were on PAPER PLATES! I was confused- the salads came in ceramic bowls and the appetizers on other guests tables were on ceramic dishes. Why was pizza the only thing on the menu that comes on a paper plate? I'm not sure if their dishwasher was broken or if they were trying to save on the water bill or whatever, but definitely was not fitting in with the "green" East Nashville vibe. I am a firm believer that any indoor restaurant that has a host seat patrons should not serve food on paper plates. The pizza was average. I figured I couldn't really go wrong with just ordering a regular slice of pizza, but i wish I would have gone somewhere else that would serve me food on an actual dish.... maybe Chuck E Cheese? Unfortunately i was unable to get over the paper plate ordeal for the rest of my visit. I don't understand the rave reviews that i keep hearing, but i am willing to give it another try. I don't see how this place fits into the East Nashville scene at all. They are not eco-friendly and don't seem to have many vegetarian options and clearly no vegan options. PROs- good lighting, warm atmosphere, nice staff. CONs- no waiting area, cramped entryway, not enough appetizers, limited salad options, PAPER PLATES, not inline with community values/objectives, too pricey for generic pizza.

It's really frustrating that I can't substitute the toppings I want on single slices or stromboli's. Lame.

Garlic knots....yum!! They were absolutely delicious! The pizza was fresh and tasty, but those garlic knots were to die for!

This is the best pizza I've ever had, and I'm a girl who lives on pizza. I had the Old World and added pepperoni. I was nearly brought to tears upon the first bite. Everything was so fresh and the crust was buttery perfection. The beer selection was decent, and the service was quick. Just thinking about how good the pizza was is making me so hungry. I think I'll go here for lunch. And dinner. And every meal for the rest of my life.

I'll try and be brief and to the point. My wife and I and one of our daughters visited for the first time last night. We thought we'd keep it simple. We ordered salads which were fresh and plentiful. As for pizza, our daughter ordered a slice of cheese and we ordered an 18" Old World. Pretty simple. What we got seemed more like the idea of a pizza. The pizza itself was lighter than air, not a good sign and the crust was stiff and dry. I want that slice to droop! I want to have to fold that crust in my hand. I concur with some of the other reviewers. Gimme some grease! Give me my guilty pleasure! If this pizza hadn't been cut into slices I could have used it for a frizbee. The toppings were barely there. Yes I know , the Old World is basically a Margerita pizza with just mozzarella, tomatoes and/or sucace and basil. In this case there were NO tomato slices as the menu advertised. Just little splotches of sauce, which was tasty but few and far between, along with razor thin slices of mozz along and basil. Again, it just seemed like the idea of a pizza. Call it 'essence of pizza'. Sorry to report but, our daughter's slice of cheese pizza wasn't much better. We're no pizza snobs but, we know a lame pizza when we try one. I never write reviews like this so that ought to tell you something. So, for three salads, one 18" pizza and three sodas we paid, with tip $61.00. Coulda gone to Pizza Perfect, paid about half the price and gotten the real deal. We are totally glad Five Points Pizza has arrived. But, with what we got and what had to pay, I have to say it'll probably will be a while before we return. Make a REAL pizza and we'll run back and keep our money in the neighborhood.

We ate here on a Saturday night and it was fairly busy. We ordered a super Bianca pizza add prosciutto, and a slice of pepperoni to see what the standard was like. They were fairly busy, but the pizza came out fairly quickly and it was very hot. Beer was cold and the place has a fun atmosphere. Even though we didn't have kids with us, others did and it seemed fairly kid friendly. We will go back!

Randomly found this place on Yelp when we were in the area and all the other restaurants were closed because it was Memorial Day. It was some of the best NY-style pizza I've ever had! Ingredients were fresh and the specialty pizzas were unique. Garlic knots are a must. Service was fantastic, and the bartender was very friendly. We'll definitely be back!

as we say in the south, Git Yo Ass down here! When I heard there was a pizza joint in 5 points that served pizza by the slice and was New York style I had to check this place out. I kinda consider myself a pizza nerd so you really have to impress me when it comes to a slice of pizza. 2nd night opening, crowded when I drove by and I really wondered if they had beer available. Rest assured beer nerds, they have beer available with several wonderfully prepared slices of pie and you can order the whole pie if you chose. Typical new business joint in the area, seating was limited but there was a bar and I quickly found a seat. When I sat down the 2 ladies behind the bar,quickly offered me a menu and took my drink order. I glanced at the menu and ordered a piece of sausage and red pepper and a Fat tire from the tap. the pizza arrived quickly and was rather large in size, perfectly prepared an delicious. The sauce was excellent and just the right about of cheese and toppings. I had to cut it down to size with a knife........and I hate that, fold it and eat it! I like a thinner crust and the crust was just right, crispy and layered with goodness. i talked in depth to Tara about ingredients, local farmers markets and cheese..... they really got this down. I really enjoyed my time there, ordered to go and will be back, probably this weekend! Believe me, if you are tired of substandard pie, order up here............. maybe delivery is soon to come. Who would have thought to open a pizza joint that sell pizza by the slice and stays open late in the middle of all these bars? GENIOUS!!! Welcome to the neighborhood!

Finally!! A great pizza joint in Nashville. I grew up here, and we have NEVER had a decent pizza place until now. This is the real deal- NY style pizza. It's not super greasy like Rays- it's more like Lucali- really fresh ingredients, and the marinara sauce is to-die-for. I've also tried their salads which are very good. We usually get take-out, but we've dined in a few times, and it's a good hang.

I am absolutely in love with the Old World pizza. I had a VERY different experience than Scott P. I think the crust is awesome - crispy outside and soft inside! I adore the bottled cider they sell (I can't recall the name). Garlic knots are yummy. The salads are HUGE. And I am not a cannoli fan, but I loved the chocolate one here! To everyone who said they wanted grease - did you have the pepperoni?! Mine was very greasy! Honestly, my only negative is that it is a little more expensive than I typically want to pay for dinner. But it is so good that I will be back! Oh - also - they don't take reservations like Yelp says they do! Just wanted to throw that out there!

Pizza is good and the service has been good each time I have eaten at 5 points pizza. Good place to grab a slice and a beer. The topping selections are good, pepperoni is tasty. The place is always crowded, so get there early if you do not want to wait.

Another NEW pizza place in Nashville, and this one in East Nashville...woohoo!. After Months of waiting, Five Points Pizza is FINALLY open. Day of I called to order a pie...wah wah... no take out. Bummer. The reason for no take out is apparently to give them time to get their system down and they want to give dine in customers the best experience they possibly can. I can appreciate the care they want to give their customers. Hopefully Take Out will be available soon. I decided to try a slice of cheese yesterday for lunch. I figured if they are really focusing on giving good service, pizza etc, that it probably won't get any better than this, right? I ordered the slice, which was $3.25 and not that big for a NY slice (a cheese slice at Manny's is $2.35). I grabbed the bag, got in my car and headed home. I was very excited after reading numerous reviews of the best pizza in Tennessee etc. I think my expectations were a bit too high. I really loved the crust. I thought it was a perfect thickness, the bottom had a crunch, while the end crust still had some chew. The flavor , however, was decent but hardly the best in town. It reminded me an awful lot of Sbarro in taste. I feel that East Nashville finally has a decent tasting pizza. To me Five Points Pizza is a much better option than, Roma, Pizzareal, Castrillo's, Italia or any of the other pizza offerings in East Nashville. For New York style Pie, however, there is much better pizza in town. Manny's House of Pizza is still the king located right over the bridge from east nashville in the arcade..ALWAYS consistent, always great. A close second to Manny's is NY Pie, a great new pizza joint located in Nashville West. Knead Dough Pizzeria in Hendersonville is probably above Five Points in flavor, however, Five Points definitely has them beat on crust. Five Points Pizza is also a more expensive option than any of it's better tasting competitors. It will be interesting to see how consistent Five Points Pizza continues to be. To me this is the determining factor to a great pizza joint. I want to know that every pizza I get from a pizzeria will taste exactly the same. This is one reason why Manny's is still king. He has a great pizza and an amazingly consistent pizza (partly due to the fact that Manny makes all his pizzas).. my experience with NY Pie has also been pretty consistent. Once Five Points offers carry out I am sure they will do a lot more business. One truly great thing about FPP is their hours... they are open til midnight most nights of the week and open til 2 am on Friday and Saturday. So when all your favorite pizza joints are closed but your still hankerin for some pizza... you can call FFP and get some pretty decent foldable pie.

There's a lot of cheap pizza in Nashville and its usually excused do to it. How many times have you shrugged and said, "well, not bad for cheap"? Not so for this place. My experience was great, even if I did pay more. My order was quickly completed and I found the pie quite enjoyable. The hand tossed crust was crisp and chewy where it should be with plenty of flavor without being soaked in grease. Toppings were quality and generous. It floored me that it was less than $10 for a large. If you're in the city and want to carry out, stop by and cruise their extensive menu. If the rest is as good as their pizza, this place deserves more attention than they are getting!

Now That's GOOD Pizza! After waiting for what seemed like months in anticipation, 5 Points Pizza is finally open & it was well worth the wait. We went in around 8pm on a Sunday, and the place was still packed, but we were able to get a seat immediately. The first thing we noticed was the amazing smell- wafts of garlic and bread filled the space. If the food was as good as the smell, we were in for a treat. The beer selection was good, with a mix of draft and bottles.We originally ordered the Antipasto Platter as an appetizer, but they had run out of many of the ingredients due to the high volume of the first week (a good problem to have). We chose the Garlic Knots instead and they did not disappoint. Hot, buttery and flecked with lots of fresh garlic. The real star here though was (as it should be) the pizza! Dave's Pie was the perfect mix of Salty Prosciutto, gooey cheese, tangy tomato sauce, and finished with a some fresh basil. The crust is perfect- thin, but not to thin, slightly crunchy, yet chewy. Service was good, and the waitstaff was all friendly and attentive. We will be back soon, and we will be back often. You should join us- you can thank me later!

Pizza is not very good or special. The atmosphere and service are good, however the pizza is extremely overpriced for what it is; a standard ny slice. Don't come in expecting anything out of the ordinary.
(2)Matt G.
Average pizza. There was no "wow" factor or much to be remembered. Italian sausage is not very good at all. I wish there were more pictures on their website so I would have been warned about the Italian sausage before hand. Thick round circles of sausage that do not compliment the pizza well at all. However, the place seemed like a good atmosphere with cool pizza. I just don't think I will be returning.

Solid NY Style pizza. The taste is good, and the price is reasonable for gourmet-ish type pizza. You can tell the ingredients are fresh. Eat the garlic knots! You know you want to. Garlic should be consumed in mass quantities. Knots of Garlic are just...well..your fingers will be all buttery and the basil might get in a bite or two. Bready, garlicy, basily, marinara-y, goodness. And their marinara is some of the best I've eaten. True Story, got the buttery fingers to prove it. Enjoy often, rinse and repeat.

I was ready for a late night beer and a snack. Being new to east nash i was walking around and trying to pick a spot to satisfy these needs. 3 crow seemed to busy to order food and chill at so i noticed this place wasnt as crazy inside. I ordered a French Broad IPA and garlic knots, both of which were amazing! Best part was i just happened to sit next to the owner at the bar and we had a real nice conversation and i reccomended him some beers to put on tap. Really cool atmosphere and nice that they stay open till midnight on weekends. I will definitely be back for some pizza next week!

Five points pizza... I want to be inside you. The server was a sweet hippy guy, they have sweet magnolia southern pecan, garlic knots to die for and the pizza... Do-what!? So good. Great laid back vibe too. Never leave me five points pizza... Never leave me.

I've been here several times and usually had the spinach salad and then a slice of some sort.... Dave's (proscuitto, basil and cheese), meatball, and pepperoni. The service has always been adequate and the food is good Tonight, we decided to have a 14 inch pie because our server, Kate, was actually great in making suggestions and expounding on things. All the other servers usually just take your order and then bring your stuff (which is ok too). But Kate was engaging and made our experience fun. I am a server and I guess i forget how much a great personality can affect your overall experience. Anyways, I recommend you ask for Kate (unless you're a lousy ass tipper) and i also recommend you get a 14 inch pie. It's a much better deal and I have leftover for the morning. The pie we ate had pepperoni, banana peppers, feta, mozzarella, and capicola or some type of salami. It was DEELISH... we went to Jeni's for ice cream afterwards which is awesome!!! I didn't hit a home run, but i did make it to third base. My date was cute too. Thanks Kate for helping break the ice. I'm making this suggestion to you guys... we did NOT like paper plates. We're not asking for a set of gold limoge... but, even if you were passing out those cheap ass plastic plates they use in cafeterias... we would have been happier and it would have been better suited to your place. In the long run... it will cost you more to use paper plates because you will have to continue to buy them over and over. This is EAST Nashville too... people are freaky about recycling, but in all seriousness... it's more eco friendly NOT to use disposable. You guys are the best pizza place in East Nashville and second to only City House in the entire city. Get some plates! you're going to be around for a while.

Five points pizza has been busy every time I drive by- and with good reason. Delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed my slice of plain Jane cheese pizza. The atmosphere is great and the staff is very friendly. This will be my new east Nashville pizza fix. They serve beer and are open till midnight on the weekdays and 2am on weekends! I have no doubt this place will survive and prosper in 5 points.
(5)Jennifer C.
so i can't believe it has taken my family this long to enjoy 5 Points Pizza. The Old World Pie with basic moz, basil and sauce is killer. I ate an entire extra bowl of sauce. The salads are fresh and the vibe is mod but family friendly. my only complaint is i'd like a glass of wine and some juice for the kids. Otherwise, i'll be there most friday nights.

I like pizza. I F'n love pizza. I F'n love NY Style pizza. 5 points pizza has these things, so I naturally gravitated to it. I gave it some time and a few visits before I decided to review, as reviewing a brand new restaurant isn't really fair to them. I've dined in and carried out several times, each being a pleasurable experience. I did once order a white pie that came out overcooked. Before it even arrived I was notified by our waitress that the pie was overcooked and they would be glad to cook me another one. Being understanding and supportive of locally owned eateries I didn't get angry at the mishap and declined the new pie. 10 minutes later I have a properly cooked pizza in front of me anyway. That's service. I carry out a couple of times a month too, and Allison is always bright and cheery when getting my order ready, or serving me a pre-takout beer. She's obviously providing great service as I never remember anyone's name. Ever. Especially with pizza on my mind. How's the pizza? Great. The marinara is outstanding. Tangy, fresh, chunky, just a hint of sweetness. Possibly my favorite marinara around. The ingredients always seem fresh and high quality. The crust is great, but in my own personal taste I think it could be a little more moist. To each their own however. Also, don't go across the street to the other pizza spot on the block. I won't support anyone who complains about food trucks and runs them out of the area. The pizza made at non-dick managed places tastes better anyway.
