Melissa's Sir Pizza — Restaurant in Nashville-Davidson

I’m originally from West Lafayette, Indiana, and grew up with Arni’s and Pizza King pizza. Tony from Boiler Diehards on Facebook mentioned Sir Pizza while watching a Purdue Basketball game on tv in Nashville and mentioned Sir Pizza being the same thing as Pizza King. I was intrigued since we’ve lived in the area (Franklin) for 15 years and never heard about this.

I’m a Food Scientist by program of study and training. I worked in the food industry, creating palatable flavors and food. One of those things is called the Maillard Browning Reaction. Melissa’s Sir Pizza creates this with the perfect crust and cheese. The crust is crispy and has some burnt spots (ideal) on the bottom. It’s what makes a NY pizza taste so good. Over 40% of bread flavor comes from the crust, hence, why toasted bread tastes better than plain bread. It’s the cooked amino acids (glutamates) through Maillard Browning that creates delicious flavor (also on seared steaks) or umami. Umami is the 5th sense on the tongue that elicits a taste sensation directly to the brain. This activates the insular cortex, limbic system, and hypothalamus in the brain affecting serotonin, improving digestion, absorption, and metabolism in the body.

The waitress, Britney, was also excellent and prompt. We will be back for sure and telling all...

I have never written a review but with regards to what my wife had to through after being a loyal customer of this Sir Pizza location for over 25 years it would definitely be disrespectful towards my wife to not do so.On Nov 21 at or about 6 pm my wife to this Sir Pizza and ordered the same pizza she always does.Upon getting home and opening the box she immediately open the box and notice the pizza was not baked correctly.She then notified Sir Pizza and talked to a very disrespectful woman whom we found out later was the owner Melissa's daughter. Tonight my wife went in Sir Pizza to talk to Melissa about last night's incident and had to go through so much back and forth to just have a pizza replacement as well as taking the previous pizza as evidence at which time Melissa agreed the pizza was made incorrectly...I don't know Melissa or her daughter nor anyone else at Sir Pizza but I do know my wife ..With that being said my wife who has been a very loyal customer for many years will never step in that Sir Pizza...

Happy girl—getting ready to indulge in my fave small pepperoni/sausage/green olive pizza that I’ve been eating for 35 years. It’s the perfect portion—thin crust, savory sauce, quality minced ingredients, and cut into small squares with triangles on the corners. which are my favorite pieces. (If I skip 1 piece, it’s always the middle one, but that’s rare.) Yeah, I’ve had all the other best of the best NY, Chicago, Italian pizzas all over the country, but I always come home to Sir Pizza.

When I was little, we always went to Shakey‘s Pizza, until they closed. It was also a warm and cozy parlor with such an amazing aroma as soon as you open the door. This is the only other parlor I know of here in Nashville that gives me that nostalgic feeling of my childhood. On my way to Costco, so this...
