Located in the heart of Knoxville, Elidio’s Pizza is a true gem for pizza lovers craving authentic, thin-crust goodness. This cozy, unpretentious pizzeria at 6714 Central Ave Pike STE J offers a welcoming escape into the world of expertly crafted New York-style pizza. From the moment you bite into their perfectly crisp crust, you’ll understand why Elidio’s has become a beloved local institution.

Their menu shines with a variety of crowd-pleasers that cater to all cravings. The Pepperoni Pizza Slice is a standout favorite—crispy, buttery edges folding easily in your hands, topped with just the right amount of slightly spicy pepperoni and molten cheese that stretches with every bite. For those who like to customize, the Build Your Own Pizza option is a divine playground featuring toppings like pepperoni, Italian sausage, and Canadian bacon, allowing you to compose a personalized masterpiece.

If you’re feeding a crowd or simply indulge in hearty portions, the Extra-large 5 Topping Pizza and the gigantic X-large 18 Cheese Pizza deliver robust flavors and memorable size that satisfy any appetite. The Calzones and Strombolis —packed three different orders in one box—are a brilliant way to enjoy multiple flavors in one sitting. On the lighter side, their Veggielicious Pizza surprises with fresh veggie toppings bursting with flavor, balancing crispness and richness elegantly.

Complement your pizza with classic sides like the golden Cheese Sticks with Sauce, crunchy and gooey, or the perfectly seasoned Chicken Wings served hot for an irresistible kick. The Garden Salad offers a fresh, crisp contrast to the rich main dishes, while the Bread Sticks, served with your choice of garlic butter or marinara, provide a comforting, warm bite to round out your meal. Pair your feast with a glass of refreshing Sweet Tea or one of their selection of sodas such as Coke, Sprite, or Dr. Pepper to complete the authentic experience.

Elidio’s may look like a humble “hole-in-the-wall” spot, but it’s precisely this charm that adds to its allure. The atmosphere is warm, unpretentious, and inviting, echoing the feel of an old-school pizza joint that’s more about the food than fancy decor. The staff is friendly and efficient, managing busy times with smooth professionalism that keeps your experience pleasant even when the kitchen is bustling.
