Sam and Andy’s is a Knoxville institution. They’re best known as a deli, originally on the UT campus, with branches in West Knoxville and North Broadway.
We ate at the West restaurant today after the girls’ ballet recital. Katie wanted cheese pizza. I had eaten Sam and Andy’s pizza ages ago on campus. I remember their menu proudly proclaimed that they were the first restaurant in Knoxville to serve pizza.
ZOMG that was good pizza. The whole pie – crust, sauce and cheese – probably didn’t have more than eight or 10 ingredients, but it was unbelievably good. Thin, non-drooping crust that was slightly charred around the edges, ever so slightly sweet tomato sauce and excellent mozzarella. We’re getting that again.
