Most Knoxvillians think of downtown as a place
to avoid, rather than a destination, what with the
poor parking, and the ""local color"" that can sometimes
be seen carted off in paddy wagons. Nonetheless,
Tomato Head is a reason to leave your Kingston Pike comfort zone, and venture into Market Square. The
decor is eclectic but pleasant. The signature pizzas are excellent -- go for the #3 (lamb sausage, capers and sundried tomatoes). It's vegetarian-friendly, yet also good for the carnivore. Ingredients are fresh. The staff are an excellent combination of friendly and bohemian. Here's one of the few places in town where you'll see ties and nose rings co-mingling happily.
Highly recommended!
Pros: Excellent pizza, Friendly staff, Pleasant atmosphere
