Busted Knuckle Pizzeria — Restaurant in Clarksville

Okay I’ll just say this.

I have never been more conflicted on an overall experience at a restaurant than I have here ever before.

Here’s why.

Workers there were phenomenal. Very nice people. Place was super clean and looked awesome too. Seriously cool vibe. Kitchen looked awesome especially with the sweet looking wood fired oven. Just overall very cool place.

We got pizza cheese sticks and the cookie ice cream thing.

Here’s where it gets confusing for us hence the three stars.

The pizza tasted phenomenal but no where on the site did it list any different sizes for pizza nor in person. They in fact unless I’m mistaken only make one size pizza. Which I haven’t seen before but that’s fine. Definitely recommend different sizing if possible though.

The problem is it’s $16 almost for a personal size pizza. Roughly 6-7 inch pizza. Again the taste was phenomenal but we felt a bit mislead when it came to sizing of the pizza. I didn’t see anywhere about sizing of the pizza on the site. Maybe I missed something? Not sure but pictures on the site at least from our POV made the pizzas look bigger than what they actually were. The cheese sticks were bigger than the pizza if that gives you an idea. Cheese sticks tasted awesome too.

If there’s going to be one size for a pizza that’s fine I would just rather have it be a large pizza not a personal size. Even if it costed a bit more. Like $20-25.

The cookie is the biggest issue here unfortunately. Tasted very cheap and processed like from Pizza Hut or something. Literally looked like one of those cookies you order from a pizza chain like them. Which is fine but it Definitely wasn’t hand made like the pizza was. Didn’t come with ice cream at all unless that was a mistake on their end for not putting it or maybe I ordered something wrong. Wasn’t worth the $8-9 it costed for sure.

Overall spent about $40 for everything which was a bit steep and was disappointed with the results unfortunately. Very conflicted on how we felt about the place overall. Again great people who worked there. Place was an awesome experience to be inside and food other than the cookie tasted great but the sizing of the pizza the issues with the cookie the pricing the site not mentioning anything about sizing and making the pizza look bigger than what it was was all was a bit much...

(Excuse the missing slices in my pictures, we couldn't wait to dig in when they brought the pies out!) People, let me tell you now...HANDS DOWN this is the best wood-fired pizza in town. No contest they beat Four Brothers pizza in Sango in our opinions! And we're even more excited we don't have to drive all the way to Dickson for Zanders wood-fired pizza too. (which was the best around until tonight) Busted Knuckle Pizza is legit scrumptious & their crust perfection! I even asked for my crust not to be charred when ordering and they delivered a perfectly cooked not overly burnt pizza crust! High-five to the oven master, you made me one happy customer! 😊 We ordered a Veggie Overload and a Sidekick (cheese pizza) and 2 drinks. (The pizzas had 8 slices each so 1 pie could feed two people) The total was about $35. The inside was a little chilly, but they do have a small outside patio deck. We waited awhile for the pizzas to be cooked was the only negative. I think only one guy was cooking them though, he needed some help. Once the pies finally arrived to our table though we all agreed it blew Four-Brothers pies out the water! 💥 Thank you for this delicious wood-fired pizza you have brought to Clarksville!! ...

We hosted our daughter’s wedding reception at Busted Knuckles Pizzeria, and we could not be more thrilled with how everything turned out—even in the middle of a terrible storm! While the weather outside was chaotic, the staff at Busted Knuckles brought the warmth, hospitality, and top-tier service that made the night unforgettable.

We arrived early due to the storm, and instead of being caught off guard, the team welcomed us with open arms and immediately went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. They were calm, professional, and clearly prepared for anything. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, the food was phenomenal (our guests are still talking about the pizza!), and the staff treated us like family.

It’s rare to find a place that delivers on both quality and heart, but Busted Knuckles Pizzeria absolutely nailed it. They turned what could have been a disaster into one of the most memorable nights of our lives. We are beyond grateful and can’t recommend them...
