Twelve years ago, I built my first wood fired oven and my second career.
After six months of working nights and weekends it was finished.
I baked pizza for friends and family and knew then that I had found my calling.
In 2008 we relocated to Knoxville. After spending most
of my life in Chicago and NY, I finally felt at home and a place to realize my dream.
In 2009 Hard Knox Pizzeria was born. Since then we have
weathered the recession, road construction and have
perfected the art of true wood fired pizza.
Over the last two years we’ve been blessed with a loyal
following of great customers and continue to introduce our
unique style of pizza to many new faces every day.
From making everything from scratch,
to providing the best service possible, our
goal is to give you the best pizza experience
anywhere.
If for any reason we have not lived up
to this, please let us know.
