Diabetics at Pizza Hut
Pizza is neither a great meal nor the worst for diabetes. All you need is some fact check and monitoring while ordering your pizza. Diabetics can opt for thin crust or skinny pizza at Pizza Hut and avoid the cheese topping to cut down on the excess fat and sodium. If you have diabetes, then ensure to check your portion size when you order a pizza. One or max. two slices are enough. You can also avoid meat if possible and go for wings as a meat option.
Foods to Avoid at Pizza Hut for Diabetics:
You must avoid Meat Lovers Pizza with Original Pan Crust as it contains over 1000mg sodium and will add 470 calories in your meal. You should also skip Super Supreme Pizza Large Original Pan Slice which is too high in sodium and fat. Chicken wings are often tempting but you must control and restrict yourself from ordering Traditional Honey BBQ Bone-in Wings as it can add up to your sugar levels if you eat too many. On average, a person orders or consumes six chicken wings pieces in a day.
Sides must be avoided at all costs especially if it's Bacon Cheddar Fries with Ranch Dipping Cup for its high sodium content. You must also avoid New York Style Cheesecake with Applesauce as dessert as one slice of this dessert item contains 86g sugar. Pizza Hut also offers other Italian dishes such as Pasta. However, you must skip Spaghetti with Meat Sauce and Meatballs and Garlic Bread as it is too high in sodium and sugar.

Found our go to pizza restaurant. Nashville is rife with terrible pizza, and this place makes a decent Greek style pie. A large cheese (14") is 12 bucks, which I think is a fine price to pay for good pizza in East Nashville. We ate there with our toddler, and she was annoying, but it's the kind of place where that's alright. This isn't an ultra trendy 5 points restaurant, but I'm fine with that, and frankly it's refreshing.

After all the attention Pizze Real is drawing to itself via a personal campaign against yelp and its reviewers, I came to the Pizze Real Yelp page, and I noticed I have never written a review for here. The following is an honest, unbiased review. I have been here four times. I have never experienced bad service. I have been served by the same person each time. An (and I hope she doesn't mind my description) elderly lady. She's always been a good server. The decor: I had no problem with the interior design, or artwork, or furniture. The food: I have usually stuck with pepperoni and sausage, and adding garlic each time. The pizza is definitely NOT the worst in all of Nashville. That title belongs to Soulshine Pizza in Midtown. But Its not the best either. The crust is definitely too thick. -Just a personal preference. And it could use a little more sauce. Not bad, but not great either. Its pizza, and at least the ingredients are of a higher calibre than other pizza places I have eaten. The only reason I came in here in the first place was because of location. If you are hungry and in five points, then it does the job. Five Points Pizza is just better in my opinion. Its not that I am being paid to say this, its not that I am biased. The basis of this review is on food alone. The Yelp description of two stars says it all: "Meh. I'v experienced better." That sums it up. Anyone of average intelligence can filter through the obvious planted reviews (five star and one star alike). The furniture and decor, and interior and patio - there's nothing wrong with that. I personally haven't had a bad experience with the service. Nothing would really prevent me from returning here. But with Five Points Pizza just a short walk away, they seem to be getting all my money instead. And that is as honest a review as ever.

A very quaint place with wood dining room tables and chairs. It's basically a home that was turned into a restaurant :) There is an outdoor seating area for the adventurous people that like 95 degree weather. Menu is simple---pizza, salad and kabobs. I had a kabob and salad, while the hubby had a personal style pizza. My food was outstanding! The salad dressing was olive oil based which means I had a delicious puddle to sop my bread in! So good. The 5-6 pieces of meat were cooked to perfection and the tzatziki sauce was delicious! His pizza was good and the sauce was great! But I'd go back for more salad and kebobs all day, everyday :)
(4)John R.
Great pizza! Paul the owner is a great guy and knows his stuff. Great place to hang out before hitting up 5 points for an evening out.
(5)Billy H.
Nice family owned restaurant. Delicious food. Been here on numerous occasions and never been disappointed. Mad respect for the owner, opened and ran the show single handedly during the last ice snow storm. One of the very very few businesses open that day. Those writing bad reviews about this place and glowing reviews about jets and its ilk need to stop writing reviews about pizza, since clearly they don't know their arse from their elbow.
(5)Cate H.
Lovely patio with a view of the debauchery going on in five points! We had the Caprese pizza and a couple beers and enjoyed the evening. The service was attentive but not bothersome. I would recommend it for a relaxing summer evening.
(4)Coco D.
DO NOT eat here! Service was terrible! I was referred here by someone else. The pizza was soggy and nothing to brag about. I wasted $17. I watched the older gray haired owner: 1. Never wash her hands as I waited on my pizza. She handled credit cards and money. With those same unwashed hands I watched her grab olives out the refrigerator from a container and use her damn hands and drop them in the drinks!!!! Then if that wasn't nasty enough, she then put plastic drink straws in 2 wine glasses and stirred them by touching the straw end you put your mouth on! OMG!!! I will NEVER go there again! The are on the walk was nice. Disgusting?

Let me start with the fact I've heard of the newsworthy "review wars" on this place, but never felt I had a say either way. Though a long time East Nashvillian I had only been here one time, years ago, and I don't even think I ordered pizza, although pizza is one of my favorite meals. I thought whatever I had then was good, but I just hadn't gone again since, but for no real reason. I don't eat out lots, though a foodie. I like variety, and I try lots of places when I do go out. After my experience, I couldn't help but have a say. Saturday, after spending all day in the sun as a tent vendor at the Tomato Art Fest (not to mention the busy prep that let up to the event), and finally packing up, I was famished. My partner and I couldn't decide where to go that wouldn't have a long wait, since 5 Points was still bustling. One friend mentioned that the food there was great, though I'd heard others say it was a waste of time and money, but I thought I'd give the benefit of the doubt and call in a take home pizza since we were ready to go home and rest. I was told it would be around 15 minutes, so 15-20 minutes later we went to pick it up. I figured the place was hopping, so I intentionally gave the place plenty of time. The woman had not even put our ticket in!!! I had told her my name when we reached the counter and that I was there for a pick up. She recognized my name since it is unusual anyway, but the ticket was still on the pad in front of her!!! She is there to take orders, take money, and clean up. It's NOT that difficult. She apologized immensely, of course, saying it was a long day, and although angry, we agreed to wait for our pizza nonetheless. We were already there. I always give the benefit of the doubt. Within 60 seconds she turned to text on her PHONE! That was when I said FORGET IT! I could SEE why my ticket wasn't a priority! Obviously things must have been slowing down since an order hadn't been taken in over 15 minutes--she wasn't TOOO busy. She was slow enough to stop and TEXT. Was I forgotten because of a recent text? It seems so! That was absolutely TACKY, CARELESS, and IMMATURE. I'm not gonna lie, I occasionally text at work, but when you have fucked something up because of your own stupidity, regardless of how long your day was, common sense should tell you not to let the customer see you text. She probably more worried about the party later. C'mon. I've worked many years in customer service, and I know it's long and tiring, but clearly this girl has other priorities and needs to get it together if she expects to keep a job and stop making other Millenials look careless and lazy. Pizze Real needs to get a better staff. I read plenty of other reviews AFTER my experience, and I'm clearly not alone. I'd like to describe the woman, but I'm not intending to get anyone, but if I were this owner I'd read this whole review to the staff and make some strict rules. FAST. This place was given both a chance and the benefit of the doubt on a long day, and it will NOT get a chance again or any recommendations from me! Ever!
(1)Brad T.
Came here today for the first time. Ordered a cheese pizza and a pepperoni, sausage, and mushroom pizza. It was all very good!!! I ate a pizza almost all by myself!! The owner came out and was very friendly. We will be back.
(5)Alex S.
Price: To High. Pizza: Mushy crust, bland sauce, bad cheese. Not worth writing much past that. Four much better pizza places within a mile.
(1)Sara C.
This pizza is one of the best I've had in the area!!! And the owner, Paul, was super cool and made sure we loved everything. The place is adorable inside too, with cute drawings that kids have done. Definitely worth checking out :)
(5)Jessica O.
First visit to this cute,inviting restraunts. amazing pizza! friendly family staff! Will definitely be back
(5)Taryn S.
There's so many pizza places & I agree with the other reviewer, for menu that limited everything should be amazing. I shared a specialty pizza with a friend & the crust was thin & flimsy. We still walked out both paying over $12 & thinking papa johns is better. Basically I wouldn't go back.
(2)Liz M.
The best Greek plate this side of Greece I have ever had. I've never written a review for Yelp, but after stopping in at this spot three times now I must say this was as authentic as it gets AND beats some of the places we ate at in Greece. Never tried the pizza, because the chicken plate is so incredible, too hard to pass up. If you love Greek, must try!
(5)John P.
Always treats us like family! Great food and great people. Been coming here for 10 years
(5)Jessica N.
Best pizza in town! Owner is friendly and made the experience absolutely amazing!!! Prices are fair. Atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. Come in and have a spectacular experience.
(5)Melissa H.
You guys! I just had some of the best pizza in Nashville!! Run do not walk to try the Tuscan Garden pizza: Fresh chopped kale, tossed in pepper infused 100% olive oil, homemade sauce (w/ merlot wine & chopped garlic), mozzarella cheese, sliced garden mushrooms, dolloped with labne. For those of you unfamils with labne: soft, marinated Middle Eastern cheese. Delish Ah!! That Greek salad!! OPA! The dressing was ridiculously good. Made in-house as well!! The service was great! Paul, the owner, was friendly, knowledgable, and passionate about food. It's unfortunate that folks had less than stellar experiences, but if you read the reviews closely, they are from years ago. I hear there is a new lunch menu coming soon. Loved it and will totally be back. pizzereal.com/menu.html
(5)Brandi C.
Some of the best pizza that Nashville has to offer. Tried it for the first time yesterday, and will definitely return. Looking forward to trying out more items on the menu!
(5)Cynthia T.
Decided to check out the brunch and it was great, the omelette pizzas were great. Love their regular pizza too. They also have great service and have fun art all over the walls.
(5)Sarah M.
Awesome pizza. Almost didn't try because of bad reviews. Glad I didn't listen. I am assuming they came from their competitor. Because of the great pizza, I can only assume their competitor wrote the many bad reviews. I hope this appalling behavior by competitors does not continue on other yelp sites, as this would be the end of a great site for information on restaurants for me. Hopefully YELP will find a way to stop competitors bad reviews. I will be a little more skeptical of yelp reviews in the future.
(5)DeQuisha W.
Such a great atmosphere and even better pizza! Open great hours for a fun relaxing and kick ass food! The only pizza for Nashville! Great service and even better eats!
(5)Nichole D.
The food is good, but way over priced. I ordered the "Pollo A La Brasa" which (on the menu) sounded great! Little did I know it would be practically a chicken nugget and a gross salad. It says it is served with bread...more like 4 bagel chips. Although the I will say, the 1 bite size piece of chicken was delicious. $10 for the piece of chicken the size of the papa john's pepper that came on my plate, 4 bagel chips and a salad made from a Kroger bag? No thanks.
(1)Tara A.
The pizza is delicious. Good crust, excellent toppings. Everything you want in pizza, and less of a line than 5 points. Give them a try!
(5)Eliott V.
The reviews of this place seem pretty fixated on bashing the crust. It might not be the crispest crust in town, but that's not really the basis of what makes me value pizza. There are a lot of elements that go into making a good pizza pie. The ingredients here are top notch. Everything tastes super fresh. The sauce is incredible. And the much lamented crust? It's buttery, thick, and delicious. Add to it the fact that this place has a picturesque, panoramic view of five points and the Nashville skyline beyond, and I think you have all the makings of a delightful evening. I have visited most of the pizza places around and I'm baffled as to how this one gets passed over. Maybe it's just that people know they can't go here to see and be seen. That's fine. Your mistake is my gain. I'll be coming back again and again for great pizza, a good view, and no wait.
(5)Liz H.
I love this little family establishment. The pizza is awesome. Very garlicky, kale, red wine sauce, chock full of veggies. Obviously not to everyone's taste from the other reviews here but I dig it. The menu is very limited but everything they offer is fantastic: pizza, kabos, salad, labne. I always get a greek salad and the labne appetizer (goat cheese yogurt served with delicious warm bread, kalamata olives, and roma tomato slices). You will be full and content, but could also split some pizza with friends. I recommend wine. The atmosphere is cozy and there is outside seating available.
(5)Jayme B.
Yummy! So glad we tried this place while visiting Nashville. Fresh ingredients, deliciousness and great service! Hands down, one of the best pizzas I've ever had. - We chose bacon, jalapeño and onion. Planning on moving to Nashville soon and we'll def be back here!! Thanks again!
(5)Bethani H.
Love this place!! Best pizza in five points. There is never a wait and the brunch is good too.
(5)Bill B.
The owner is truly a stand up guy and has been the unfortunate victim of a misinformation campaign. I'd highly recommend Pizzareal!
(5)Joshua D.
I've given this place a few chances, but it's just not worth it. The pizza is incredibly lackluster, especially for the prices, and between the obnoxious wait times (I've only ever gone when they aren't busy, so this shouldn't be an issue), terrible service, and even more ridiculous wait time for the check (it took them a good 30 minutes after waving down a server to get us our checks last time, and there were only 3 of us), I can't in good faith recommend this place.
(1)Jennifer G.
We were in town in Nashville for the weekend and this business stayed opened for 30 minutes after close. The staff was amazing and the pizza was incredible! I would come here again for sure! Love this place!
(5)Southpaw S.
Cute place, cozy vibe, food smelled AMAZING when we walked through the door, local artwork displayed prominently throughout, extremely friendly proprietor made us a tasty kalamata olive pizza. Would totally eat here again!
(4)Kimberly V.
Just went there for the first time today and loved it. The thick crust was actually cooked and I could hold the slice without eating with fork. I ordered a basil and tomato to keep basic. Both ingredients were fresh. The sauce had a nice sweetness to it without being sickly sweet. Overall I enjoyed my pizza and will go back.
(5)C R.
We've been eating at or ordering carry-out at Pizze Real for years. We have never had anything but great service and outstanding food. These are great people and very conscientious. The pizza is as good as any in town. I do not understand all these negative reviews and wonder who wrote them.
(5)Gary H.
Our first time in after passing by this place many times. The menu us limited. We had the Caprese pizza and added pepperoni. It was very fresh and delicious! I highly recommend it!
(4)Amy C.
Came back for a 2nd visit last night and was even MORE impressed with the food! We ordered the Tuscan Pizza - fresh chopped kale tossed in pepper infused 100% olive oil, added to a bed of fresh tomato sauce, with merlot wine and chopped garlic, then sandwiched between two layers of mozzarella cheese. Topped with sliced garden mushrooms, then dolloped with labne (a near eastern yogurt cheese), it's like having a party in your mouth! I HIGHLY recommend ordering this pizza...it will knock your socks off! They also have a great outdoor patio for those beautiful nights when you want to dine outside!
(4)Beth L.
I have been coming to PizzeReal since they opened 8 years ago, and they have always had great pizza. Whenever I'm craving a Greek salad for lunch, I have to get it from PizzeReal, their homemade salad dressing is the best and it's only $5!!! When the weather is nice, we love to sit on the patio and fill ourselves with a lil pizza before walking over to the bars. They have fresh ingredients, and our pizza is always made fresh to order. Try the kale on the pizza....de-lish!! We have to wait a little, but they have alcohol, so we don't mind!! I would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends!! The only thing I wish they had, was dessert!!
(4)Donna Y.
Awesome food. Love the sauce and crust on pizza. Great salad. Friendly prompt service, decent prices. Will be back.
(4)Tom K.
The pizza is excellent. The service is really bad to say the least. Be careful when using your credit card here. The server did not match the card with the correct tab. It took over 20 minutes to straighten it out. We waited over 30 minutes to ploace our order. We also receicved the wrong order. With that said, the pizza is great. Pay cash... If the service improves, I would give this spot 5 stars.

We have been long-time customers especially on rainy nights because they are close to us. In the world of pizza, there are many styles from New York (says this New Yorker) and Nashville has a few solid local spots with a couple of fine places for by-the-slice, but is better for its rarity, especially the elusive Sicilian square slice which is rarest for dinner. The Neapolitan single-serving is more common in Nashville as of late and has solid spots to try. Chicago is rarer still but deep dish and even the small square cuts on thin crust rounds has a new Germantown venue. Then there is New England style--sometimes thin crisp or other times Greek-Boston style baked in a pan. Pizze Real is decidedly the former and we have been partial to the sausage with fill-in-the-blank rather than the more loaded pies. But the added benefit is the Greek touch of its owner; we often go for the mezethakia and the shish kabob which includes tomatoes, homemade bread, Kalamata olives and Greek-style yoghurt with olive oil and marinated pork cubed and grilled. All-in-all, solid fare and more than pizza. And tonight we tried the new addition adding Peruvian ceviche, which is made with larger cubes of fresh tilapia, celery, and a nice slow build of chili-lime marinate. The Peruvian part made us nostalgic for one long-gone Peruvian place in Nashville. So in the palace of pizza ("House of Pizza" in New England), there are many rooms--this is a worthy variety and solid alternative.

It takes an effort for me to think Pizza is barfy, but everything about this place was wrong. Like its not arsenal by any means, but the bottom was charred like it was attempting it. Too bad the cheese was garden variety shredded 'white'. If a menu is *this* limited; everything should taste amazing. Maybe the specialties are better, but a cheese slice should be solid. Burnt + bland = one star. They'd be better off if they consulted my school cafeteria on where they purchase their Sysco freezer pies. It seems very hit or miss here on yelp - my recommendation is to get a consistent recipe/cook in the kitchen to execute your 'generations old recipes'.

Absolutely love their pizza and salad! Love their staff- love their quality pizza- can't wait to eat here again!

Have lived in East Nashville for years now. It is really nice to have a place right in the heart of town with a more direct from Italy style of making a pizza. You can only eat so much NY Style pizza before your just over it. (For me at least.) The people that work there have been nice every time I have been and its nice to people watch from the patio over 5 Points.

Really and truly, the worst pizza and service I've ever had anywhere. Period. I think I could get a better pizza from Red Baron in the frozen section at Kroger's, ya'll. I know, I know... the reviews are clearly awful, so why even bother? But I just wanted to try it for myself, especially since I am pizza fiend and resident of East Nashville. First of all, I need to ask: how does a place with such overall poor quality stay in business? I can't wrap my mind around it! The menu selection is tiny (3 pizzas, 1 type of shish kebob, 2 appetizers) and the food is terrible and vastly overpriced for what it is. My cheese pizza was soggy, bland, and half-cold. When my apathetic server asked me how my food was, I very politely told her that it wasn't up to par and she just said "oh, sorry" and walked away. That was it. She came over to our table 3 times - once to take the order, once to give us our food, and once to ask/give us the check. The place was nearly dead when we were eating, so it's not like she was too busy to tend to us! Also, anyone else notice all the fake reviews that have been filtered for this place? Instead of investing so much time to create fake accounts that leave rave reviews, maybe the owner should take utilize the constructive criticism from *actual* customers and try to better his business. Just a thought.

I am a West Side kind of girl so I really don't come to East Nashville, like, ever. The reasons for this are plentiful but I won't get into them here. But on this particular evening we were going to check out the BoomBap in East Nasty and needed to eat something before we danced all night. This place was suggested because, hey, everyone likes pizza right? Also, let me clarify that I am no pizza snob and generally don't even want pizza ever. I would never suggest going to have pizza, there are just too many other things I would prefer. So we get there pretty late and walk up and think...uh oh, is it closed? There wasn't a soul in there and we were worried. However, a nice man greeted us and told us he was open and no problem. The fact is that perhaps he was going to close but he didn't turn away 4 hungry people which was super nice! The place is an old renovated house and it is super cute inside. We sat in the room that housed the area that I will describe as the "bar" area or more like a staging area. We didn't get fancy, we just got a pepperoni pizza. And some beer and wine. The large pizza was perfect for each of us to have 2 slices - not too much but not hungry anymore. The pizza was good man. Not sure why all the hate on here but it had a good, not quite thin, not quite thick, crust, plenty of pepperoni and cheese and lots of sauce. I actually really liked the tomato sauce on the pizza and there was enough that I wasn't complaining about the amount of sauce. What's not to like? It hit the spot and we all kind of wished we had about one more slice each (my ass, though, is pleased that we didn't). I'm not sure what the pizza is like when you get all fancy with the toppings or when this place is slammed, but our experience was good.

What a shame. I used to know Pizza Real as "that place to park when I'm going to the 5 Spot on Monday night" and I was always curious about it. Now, after moving to the East Side, I just had to try it for myself. (I'm a die-hard pizza lover.) The service alone merits two stars, but the pizza was such a disappointment. I heard both good and terrible things about this place on Yelp, and I must side with the latter. Besides being unbelievably expensive (and I don't mind paying money for good pizza), the food was just forgettable. I would even consider going here again if the service wasn't so slow and blasé, but why would I have to when there other *fantastic* pizza places (Italia comes to mind) within 1 mile of each other? P.S. Can someone please explain to me how this place is still open?

It was pretty good pizza, priced a little high but seems to be good quality ingredients.
(3)Carlie M.
We arrived late last night from LA and were starving, we saw Pizzeria real and decided to give it a try. It was pretty late but Paul was so nice to us and made us a special veggie pizza to order that was AMAZING and not even on the menu! We're on the road a lot for work and have to eat a lot of shitty pizza, this however was not that at all. It was fresh, made to order and packed with veggies and flavor! I don't understand how this place can only have 2 stars, but I guess that goes to show yelp can be full of shit because one of our favorite places in LA only has 2 stars as well.

I don't understand the poor ratings this place has received. I've been to Pizze Real twice now. The first time was a happy accident. I was hungry after a night of drinking, and some friends and I spotted this place and walked over on foot. We sat outside at one of Pizze Real's nice patio tables, ate, drank, and left satisfied. Our server was attentive, and the pizza was tasty. The thin slices and slightly burnt cheese reminded me of a local independent pizza joint in my hometown. So, I took my wife to Pizze Real today, so she could get a taste of home too, and she was just as impressed. We have fairly simple taste when it comes to pizza, so we ordered a pepperoni/mushroom and a couple of Cokes, and we.......destroyed it. My wife and I devoured an entire large pizza, and I regret nothing. The ingredients tasted very fresh, and the crust was delicious. It made for very fold-able slices with a perfectly crisp, crunchy ending. We were served by the owner, who seemed like a genuinely nice and hardworking guy. Again, I don't get the poor ratings. The prices are reasonable. The atmosphere is comfy. The beer selection is pretty good. And the pizza is hot and tasty. Give this place a try if you're on the East side. Ignore the naysayers.
(4)Miser L.
Great pizza, nice staff, and they have stayed open late so I could pick up a pizza after they closed!
(5)Paul K.
I can only speak for the slice I had, which was not good. It was not bad mind you, but I would never order it again. Greasy, sweet, burned on the outside which took some of the sweet flavor of the pizza and turned it to ash. That pizza reminded me of a better Tostino's freezer pizza (the sweetness). If that's your thing, that's your thing. However, a place is quite a bit more than one slice, and I can't speak to that. It's not pizza I liked though.
(2)Ryan S.
Somehow, my review got removed. That's a shame as this place is one the the BEST pizza places in Nashville. I'm from Chicago so I don't offer that out lightly. The sauce is awesome, the ingredients are fresh, and it is always cooked right. Their salads are wonderful as well. Pizzereal is a cut above the rest!
(5)Derek E.
This place might deserve four stars if they provided something more unique. For now, it is a good pizza place in a decent location. The front patio isn't great. Inside is nice but nothing special. The pizza taste good, definitely better than the chain places but not as good as some of the other local pizza joints. I can't really comment on the beer or other food options. I might give this place another chance but probably not before I go to some other places a couple times first.
(3)Colin P.
This pizza is surprisingly good! I gotta say, it looked pretty simple at first glance, but there are tons of hidden flavors, like really good roasted tomato in the sauce and some of the best mushrooms I've ever had. And I don't like mushrooms, I just agreed because I wanted the girl I was with to be happy. We both ended up happy. Ah, life-affirming Yelp reviews. What's more, they were more than happy to accomodate us when we showed up after midnight, wondering if the "open" sign had just been mistakenly left on. We were gracious in saying we would happily go somewhere else, but Paul insisted he take care of us. We had delicious beer and pizza among some potted plants in the house's front room. It was cozy to sit in the massive windows and chow down late night. I'll be back soon!
(4)Greg G.
Came here on a Friday night you expect thing to be a little slow but an hour and a half for a pizza come on. Not apologies of free offer on appetizers or bread. Come on. Where is the customer service. Non existent.
(1)Stephanie G.
The Tuscan Garden pizza from Pizze Real is quite possibly one of the best pizzas I've ever had. I didn't quite know what to expect out of a pizza that has kale on it, but it was delicious. Their housemade sauce is phenomenal with a succulent and rich flavour. There was also a cheese I'd never had before, labne, dolloped on top that really complimented the other flavours and blew my mind. Seriously, you have to try this pizza!!
(5)Chuck L.
Recently in Nashville and tried Pizze Real. Amazing, I loved it!! I'm from Chicago and thought this pizza was outstanding!
(5)C W.
This place needs a renaissance or it needs to close. The space itself has lots of potential but there is no bar, old/cheap grandma style table and chairs, a big ugly shiner bock mirror above the fireplace and cheap patio furniture if you want to sit outside. The menu is terrible and the food is not worth going back for. The wait staff just looks tired and sad. This was a terrible dining experience and I will not go back. On th plus side I like the local art they have and their beer selection isn't bad but there are too many other issues to get past. This place need a restaurant impossible makeover or needs to put itself out of its misery.
(1)Jessica B.
I really expected more out of an East Nashville original restaurant. Simply put, one should look elsewhere for pizza. As much as I want to love this place, I cannot. Here's why: They were dead on a Saturday night at peak business hours. Other Five Points restaurants were booming, but this place was a ghost town. About a quarter of the tables are occupied by patrons, with no one dining on the porch. I walk in and I see a gentleman busing tables, but no servers (there was an ad in the window advertising for a server position). I get that it is a seat yourself type of place, but it seems like it would make more sense if the guy took on duties of both a server and a busboy for the sake of efficiency and brevity. Next, I notice the decor is a bit homey, with its breakfast nook style of dining room tables, local amateur art on the tables and a festoon of Christmas lights and greenery dangling from the fireplace mantle. It is obviously a mom and pop joint, so I feel like I shouldn't be to harsh on the environment. Can't judge a book by its cover, right? Plus, their sign outside looks pretty awesome. Love that metalwork, but I digress. Speaking of the sign, the sign for this place advertises "pizza, (salads? I forget) kebabs, and more!" However, the menu is limited to pretty much these items. The short menu only takes both sides of a laminated 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper to fill. I was having second guesses when I see pizzas prices $20-$22. But hey, it is Five Points, right? Prices seem fitting. I also notice the beer menu which seems oddly lacking given the impressive beer selection at most East Nashville restaurants. The beer was fairly priced but the local selection of brews only went as far as Yazoo. I order the Tuscan Garden pizza, which the menu (completely in a bolded Impact font, btw) boasts as "It's like a party inside your mouth!" Enticing... While I appreciate most of a Simpsons quote on the menu, the party that was supposed to occur in my mouth was a complete bust. Despite being ready in a prompt and convenient 20ish minutes after ordering, the pizza was obviously underdone. When delivered to the table, the pie had several steak knives sitting atop it, like unwelcome guests to this supposed party. As I saw away at the tracks made by the pizza cutter, I quickly discover the dough is mostly underdone, especially in the middle, where the cheese is not completely melted. The dough was not crisp by any means, hence the difficulty in cutting through it. I slop a slice on my place and notice a water mixture of otherwise very delicious ingredients pooling in the center of the pizza pan. I mean, dough doesn't have to be crispy to be good, but I feel the need to express the rawness of it. The bottom of the pizza sported a mild brown color in spots, but it was underdone. The ingredients flopped off as I ate it and the pizza sauce was more akin to a water mixture of diced tomatoes rather than a traditional paste with spices, texture and that good ol' pizza sauce flavor. I would have rather had a salad, though honestly, the stuff atop the pizza was great and probably would be more at home in a salad. Aside from the mediocre pizza and limited beer selection, the service was decent and our server was polite and courteous. I hope Pizze Real makes some improvements in staffing, decor and most of all, their food. I really would love to see a place like this thrive, and I wish the best to the restauranteurs.

Pizza should never disappoint to the point of depression. I'm serious. I just left this place and it ruined my life. No business should put Pizza in this position. Pizza and I are buds, we go way back, but its like I just found out that he slept with my girlfriend. The mere fact that I could see Five Points Pizza from this place almost made me cry while chewing. I kid you not - a Little Caesar's Hot and Ready has this place beat by a long shot at 1/5 the cost. When I think about to the fact that it took me 2 hours to earn the money I used to purchase this pizza, it makes me die a little inside. For the love of everything holy - avoid this place like the plague.
(1)Greg S.
Super Slow service. We were gonna hit the bars later. By the time we got to the bar we were tired. I think we sat there for over 2 hours. I still like the food. Servers should come to the table every now and then.
(2)Jenn Z.
Pizze Real is unfortunately a place I dont think about visiting often, I think it is the limited menu. You have to either be in the mood for a Greek salad, Kebab or a pizza, thats it. This can also be a positive thing, but since pizza isnt the healthiest of choices and I don't eat Pork which is their only variation of Kebab on the menu, I dont visit much. We came in for dinner Saturday while attending the Green Wagon block party across the street. The atmosphere is nice, an old house renovated to a degree to be a restaurant, they have a nice patio although it was too hot that day to enjoy. The interior isn't much cooler as Erin J. noted in her review, it appears they are either being energy conscious or they haven't updated their A/C. It is a tad bit warm, but cozy none the less. Our service was prompt and friendly, I do remember last time I visited a few years ago it wasn't great so it can be pretty hit or miss. Our server was nice, helpful and prompt this visit. I ordered the medium Greek Salad which is incredibly tasty. I love the dressing, the olives and the feta (I know typical Greek salad, but the dressing can make or break it) and this one makes it. It is over priced to say the least $4.50 for a single serving salad, enough for one adult is over priced when it is limited to olives, red onion, tomato and feta. We ordered a Large Cheese Pizza and added two toppings - the pizza is pretty fairly priced. The cheese is good, I really enjoy the crust which isnt too thin or thick. My other half loved it as well. PizzeReal is definitely a nice place to have in the neighborhood and we will definitely return when we are craving pizza and salad and aren't in the mood for my Fave Roma, who cant compete with PizzeReal's over priced Greek Salad.

My first weekend as a Nashville resident I found myself in East Nashville on a Saturday night with some friends having drinks. Needless to say we got hungry and the venue we were at didn't offer food service that late so we looked up and down the street and saw this house with a neon "open" sign lit up in the window. We closed our tabs and walked to 2 blocks to what ended up being some of the best pizza I ever had. Pizze Real was great, it was quiet and the manager or owner Paul took the time to come out and chat with us personally! I can't wait to go back to try there Sunday brunch menu.
(5)Andrew H.
Great pizza. Super fresh. My type of place. Real tomato base makes all the difference. If I lived on the east side I would be here all the time.
(5)Meredith B.
I've visited Pizze Real many times and thought it was good. I really enjoy their mezathakia (a plate with bread, Greek yogurt, tomatoes, olive oil and Kalamata olives) and I haven't been disappointed by the pizza either. I'm writing today because I find it so infinitely frustrating to patronize a business that just can't get its act together. Today was the famed East Nashville Tomato Art Festival, which is rumored to be attended by 100,000 people. This event is not a secret and I think it's been happening for about 10 years now. I went to Pizze Real with my overheated & hungry 6 year old. We went inside to sit and I had no clue where to go or who to ask for a table. The staff was nonexistent. I finally shimmied my way around a corner to someone standing behind a bar to ask if we could get a table. She said, "You can have one if you can find one." Nice. Since I didn't want to stand over the diners like a vulture waiting for their chair, I convinced my son to sit outside where there were already vacant spots. Our waitress was sweet and warned us that it would be 45 minutes before we got any food. That was okay; I was enjoying the people-watching and there was enough cloud cover so we weren't roasting in the sun. In the meantime, I watched a parade of people walk up the steps into the restaurant and turn around and walk back out. Probably about 50 in all. One man sat at a table next to us with his baby. He was there for quite a while when he finally turned and asked if they had taken our order yet...the poor guy was just NOT being tended to. One more customer out the door. I was told that they had 2 servers, 2 bus people and 1 person in the kitchen because someone didn't show up which meant that there was now only 1 bus person because the other one ended up helping out in the kitchen. Ugh. I'm just saying all of this because one would think that this would be the biggest business day of the year for this place. Like I said, Tomato Fest is not a surprise event that nobody knows about in advance. Why in the world would they not just say, "All hands on deck!" Someone to greet people at the steps & take their name, 3 people bus-ing tables, filling waters & helping make salads, at LEAST 3 servers... you get the picture. In this economy, it's just stupid to run your business in such a lack luster fashion. This restaurant was given a gift and they absolutely blew it. I just sat there watching all of their money blow out the door.
(2)Jody A.
We went to Pizze Real. The pizza was excellent, in fact three of us had two pies. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun I would definitely go back!
(4)Shane R.
Our family's second trip here for dinner and the pizza was so good, we ordered one to go. My 7 year old daughter will not eat frozen or chain store pizzas, so we'll probably continue to come here for the "real" fresh ingredients. A great overall experience!
(5)jamie z.
The quest for good pizza in east nashville will have to continue. I had high hopes for this place, but alas another miss. This place looks like it should amazing, great decor, friendly staff, great location.... problem is the food is lackluster at best. I can't even decide if this is lack of creativity or just trying to dang hard. ugh. Maybe in time they till get it right but you are better off just getting a 3 crow bar pizza in the mean time.
(1)Amanda B.
Wanted to check this place out: it's so well-situated and crappy restaurants don't last long in East Nashville. Couldn't be that bad, right? We were ignored when we walked in, which should have been our first indication of what lay in store. We walked to the counter after a few minutes and asked if we should seat ourselves and we were sort of waved in the direction of the dining room. We chose a table and sat. Granted, it was a Friday night and they were busy. Our waitress came over, took drink orders, brought drinks back, took salad and dinner orders, and brought back the salad relatively quickly. So far so good. When the pizza appeared, the kebobs (for me; I can't eat wheat) did not appear. It also wasn't said whether they were coming at all when the pizza was dropped off. After about 10 minutes of watching my husband force down a few slices if pizza (he likened it to freezer pizza) I proceeded to try to flag down the waitress to ask her where the kebobs were. She IGNORED me. Every trip past the table she looked away, looked down, did not even glance at the table. Finally I stuck my hand out in her way when she had nothing in her hands, I smiled, and said "hey, are the kebobs coming--" "They're on their way," she said, interrupting me. Rude. Then, when I finally did get the kebobs, they were very tasty. Good marinade, crispy from the grill, tatziki was solid. I was enjoying them and starting to forgive our waitress when I cut into a larger piece of pork and found it verrry pinkish red. When squeezed, the juice was not clear. It was red. Bloody. Not okay. I don't know about you, but getting trichinosis from a substandard pizza joint is NOT my idea of a good time. By this time, we were done, ready to go, cut our losses and get out. Waitress was on IGNORE mode and couldn't be bothered to give us our check, let alone hear about the undercooked pork. After 20 minutes, we stood up, walked to the counter and asked for our check. Fortunately, I didn't get food poisoning from my dinner. But I warn all against this place. Avoid. Avoid avoid avoid.
(1)Rainu I.
While I was in Thailand, I was dreaming about eating the pizza at this place. The labne cheese is unique and I have yet to find it anywhere else. The suggested salad, Mezethakia, is amazing and a meal in itself for someone with a small appetite. In addition to the pizzas, kebobs are tasty as well.The pizzas have a great flavor too. The bread they're baked on is worth every calorie. If I had choose what I'm willing to need to work off later, I would definitely choose the Tuscan pizza at Pizze Real!
(5)Dustin M.
The space is perfect. So much potential. The food is mediocre at best. The pizza toppings seemed ok, and somewhat fresh, but the crust was more suited to being used a a pizza containing device than a pizza (e.g. a pizza box). Prices were high for what we got. I wouldn't complain had the food been good. Limited drink selection hamstrings the place as well. To top it all off the server was catty to my date. I also heard of the establishment complaining about food trucks in the area, running them out of 5 points. It's sad. I really wanted this place to be great. At least the building is awesome. But so is icing on a shit cake. p.s. i gave as much effort on this review as they gave on a dining experience.
(1)Patrick R.
Given the location, building and staff, I really want to give this place a great rating. Unfortunately, the pizza just isn't impressive or unique enough to earn more than three stars. Pizza Real is walking distance from Five Points, meaning it's surrounded by nothing but fantastic, popular little bars, shops and restaurants. It's decorated with local art (most of which is for sale) and has a very cool little dining area. The owner is really nice, and while he's accommodating and makes your pizza as quickly as can be expected, there aren't very many options. He only has one size (large), and aside from the typical list of toppings, there's virtually no diversity to the menu at all. Surprisingly, Pizza Real has a decent little selection of beers. Other than that, nothing on the menu impressed me. The owner's grandkids (or kids or nieces and nephews or something) were running around last time I went in, and that was really sweet. I love the vibe, but for the price you pay, you're not going to be especially impressed by your meal.
(3)JD M.
I was shocked to see this place get almost 5 freakin' stars off the google website that I had to see what people had to say about it on yelp. Now I need a shot of epinephrine after seeing so many 4/5 stars. What?! Were we eating at the same place? When I ate there just a few months ago, I was starving! Starving!! I still couldn't eat more than two slices. And, for a pizza place, it only offers 3 specialty pizzas, one of them being cheese. C'mon! It would be okay if they were at least good. It was just a plain, tasteless pizza with a very forgettable crust. And, maybe it was an "off" night for them because the service was lousy for me, too. My friends and I stood in the door waiting, wondering if we should seat ourselves or not. We watched the waitress run by us at least 5 times not saying a word. I had to eventually go up to the counter and ask if we we should sit down or wait to be seated. It's really too bad because I live in EN and would love, love, love to have a neighborhood pizza place. Unfortunately, I do, and it's called Pizza Hut.
(1)Wren F.
First of all, if you are going to serve the lunch crowd, open at 11am instead of noon. Make sure your signs on graffiti advertising have the correct hours which they state 1130. Even going at noon, you have to wait for the oven to warm up. This is ridiculous and the new 5 Points Pizza will likely put them out of business. Staff is not that friendly, menu is limited. Pizza crust is awesome, pizza sauce is bland. The dressing on the greek salad is very good but they just don't have it together to go the long haul. I honestly don't understand how they stay in business but maybe there are other things going on.
(2)taryn e.
I love the fresh, tangy flavor of the sauce on this pizza!! I have never understood the "cold pizza" fascination until I just now indulged my leftover slice but...ooh baby it was good.... Mine was with feta, garlic and pepperoni. hot, bubbly,cheezy and yummy! It's been a while since I've been back because I moved but I'm telling you it rocked my world all over again last night. The salad and mezze taka? appetizer were incredibly good as well. Three Cheers for Pizze Real! Good to see them again!
(5)Erin J.
Since I live in East Nashville, I really want to have a good pizza place there. Unfortunately, there isn't one. However, of all available, Pizzereal is the best. It's not stellar but it's decent. Every time I go, I get kalamatas, fresh basil, and mushroom on my pizza. I also get a Greek salad, and that's decent. I like to go in the summer & take the dog - they have a nice patio area with umbrellas. I can't say it's the best pizza I've ever had, but it's by far not the worst. The service has been really spotty - sometimes good, sometimes bad. I just never know. Also, if you go in the summer, the a/c doesn't work so well in the beautiful historic house building, so just beware. You might get pretty hot.
(3)Anna A.
I love the building and it seems to be a great spot for pizza so what's up with this? It's just OK. Nothing is all that exciting about it. I find the dough to be particularly sub par but the sauce could also be questioned. All in all other than ambiance, the rest is lacking. I really wish they would try to make it more interesting because the location is so cool and we need a "Pizza Perfect" or "davinci's on this side of town.
(1)Josh S.
Nothing personal, but if you gave this joint five stars, you wouldn't know good pizza if it introduced itself, showed you some I.D., beat your ass in the middle of the street, dragged your ass into the nearest tat parlor and had a picture of itself forever inscribed upon your bum and then autographed it in permanent marker in case your memory was a bit spotty when you came to. Pizza tasted like it was straight from the microwave to your table. The atmosphere was "pleasantly" accented by some dreadful emo soundtrack that made me want to swallow the pizza without chewing and pray for death. The waitress seemed annoyed with our presence because apparently the one other table in the entire place was going to pay her bills. Awesome. Thanks. Boo. Boo and Hiss.
(1)Pizza G.
Al right.. another mediocre pizza place in East Nashville. I am not sure why we can't get a decent pizza joint on this side of town. Very limited menu, only one size pizza and fairly expensive considering the size of the pizza. Apparently the service is horrible according to other reviews but I always get carry out, so I can't comment on that. I must say though Pizze Real's pizza does not taste like any other pizza in town, which is saying something I guess. I have been here several times and the last few have been pretty poor. Like I said we have squat on the East side for Pizza. If it is after 6:00 and Manny's is closed, there is no hope over here for pizza. So Italia, Five Points, Pizze Real, Castrillo's, Roma, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa Johns, Little Caesars take your pick... they are all pretty sub par... and yeah I lump East Nashville's small business pizza joints in with the chains because they are really not much better. If it is before 6:00 go to Mannys... after 6:00 drive to the West Side and hit NY Pie... those are the best pies Nashville has to offer.I have had some pretty decent Pizza's at Knead Dough in Hendersonville but they have been hit or miss... but honestly even a miss at Knead Dough is better than East Nashville's offerings.
(2)Ashley W.
Pizze Real is one of the best pizzerias on the east side. Not many pizza places know how to pull off a northern style type of pie. The service at Pizze Real is authentic and kind, which there are many restaurants who lack that type of genuineness. It is a very wonderful place to dine, and it has a wonderful outside deck for beautiful nights! Their food is fresh, savory, and truly made with authenticity. I would recommend Pizze Real to anyone who asks! Not only is there pizza delicious, but there appetizers are INCREDIBLE! The Mezathakia dish is to die for...absolutely mouth watering! Everyone should give it a try! GO! GO! GO!

Great pizza. Better kebobs.

The pizza is delish! If you're a fan of fresh ingredients on your pie, then you're in luck! My favorite combo is spinach, mushroom & feta. The sauce is the real deal with chunks of fresh tomatoes (you can tell they didn't pour this out of a can!) and the crust is thin & tasty. Greek salad is tasty--lots of garlic! Great location.

Uh-oh...if anyone had read my previous post on Pizzereal, it was super positive and I had thought they had the best pizza around. Well, now I need to change my review to just average based on my consequent visits back to pizzereal after my initial (seemingly) mind blowing experience. While I liked this place because the ambience is nice and the service is always super sweet, the pizza has kind of disappointed. The first time I had their pizza, the crust was tastily crispy. I had a mushroom pizza and all the ingredients just seemed to work well together from the pizza sauce to the cheese, mushrooms and tasty crust. I've gone back three times since and every single time the pizza has come out doughy, not crispy at all. I am so sad...is there not one single place around here that can offer tasty, crispy pizza? However, I still love their Greek salad - so delicious and I hear their shish kebabs are good, but I have yet to try them. Oh well...

Pizza Real suffers from some consistency issues. I have been there on many occasions for both eat in and take out and sometimes it is just hit or miss. When it is on, its on. The garden pizza can not be beaten and has such a great combination of ingredients. When it is a miss, the pizza sucks, usually because there is not enough sauce or the pizza dough itself is too soft and flimsy. I do like their building and it provides ample outdoor space, although I think they could put some more plants or trees to make it more intimate out there... after all, East Nashville is not the most beautiful place in the world.

I picked up a pizza here last night - sausage and basil for $14 + tax. The pizza was good, not exceptional, with a doughy crust and plenty of cheese. Unfortunately, some of the flavors (like the basil) didn't come through as well as I would have hoped. I think that this would have made an excellent breakfast snack, but we finished off the entire thing, so I won't know until next time.

If you are a fan of thinner crust, east-coast style pizza, try this place. Paul, the owner, is a Bostonian. To me, the true test of how good a pizza place is is how well they do the plain cheese version, and Paul's is very good-- wonderful, aromatic sauce, the right amount of cheese, and a crispy-chewy crust. Not quite Regina's-- but then what else is?

Great gormet pizzas. Try the garden pizza with fresh kale, melty chunks of feta and basil... truly outstanding. The staff is super friendly and the space is very warm and cozy (fireplace, little candles, big converted house sitting up on the street). They have a writers' night once a month that I want to check out. However, it is very exepensive... $20 for a pizza!
