Smoke House Pizzeria — Restaurant in Nashville

Ok. Small town in Arkansas - Nashville, Arkansas. First night at the Southern Belle Inn we ask for a place to eat other than fast food. Well wouldn't you know the owner's mom recommends her son's place (how do you say "no") Smoke House Pizzeria - This small establishment provides big taste, friendly service and A SECRET WEAPON of the most delicious kind!

We ordered two "subs" BBQ Pulled Pork and BBQ Brisket. It was truly one of the best overall subs I have eaten, and it only has 3 things; Pork, BBQ sauce, bread simple right? So why do so many other places get it so wrong? The Pork is melt in your mouth moist, the sauce is tangy & sweet and a hint of "something", and the bread... to die for. The pork is not cooked in the sauce, so you just get flavor; the bread is slightly toasted but honestly you wouldnt know. Bread is opened, first layer of sauce goes directly on bread; next comes the pork and then a second layer of sauce. Thats it. How good? Since they were closed on Sunday and Monday, I dreamed of the sandwich for two straight nights. The Brisket Sub was equally amazing, see above!

So what do you have in Nashville Arkansas for desert? Pie! Here my readers is the secret weapon; Owner Craig's wife Holly - two of the nicest people - makes the pies HOMEMADE. Pecan, Apple, Chocolate, Pumpkin, Cherry AND... wait for it... BUTTERMILK!! And not just any Buttermilk Pie but a secret recipe pie. I have had Buttermilk Pie once - at a friends house "down South" and never again - I travel just about everywhere in the U.S. and Canada and have never seen it on a menu! Holly's pies are what the saying "died and gone to heaven" was invented for.

So I got to bragging about another homemade pie I had just outside Bedford Indiana - Strawberry. Well Holly's face lit up and said she had just come across fresh, ripe strawberrys and was fix'n to bake a few (its not always on menu) so of course the Italian from the East Coast ordered a whole pie - see below!

Small place with a drive through, where every car is greeted by the Pizza with Shades on. 4 small tables inside and in some picnic tables outside. I might just convince these two to ship me pies...

Twas a cold and rainy night in Murfreesboro, not an open eatery in sight, and then she said “Smoke House Pizzeria is open” (she = gf). Though I recently moved to LA, I’m a born and bred New Yorker, you can’t talk to me about pizza outside of NYC. Alas, it was the only open business so we made our way there. The dining room is small, but cozy. The menu hosts a variety of your typical pizzeria appetizers, pizzas, and it also has some very tempting desserts. We were greeted by an attentive and courteous young man, actually the entire staff was attentive and courteous. The owner to our table to introduce himself and gave us a very thorough breakdown of all options on the menu including the dessert pies which are all made by his wife (the pecan pie was… e-x-q-u-i-s-i-t-e). We decided on a supreme. Once we got our pizza, I was pleasantly surprised. The dough was tasty, the crust delicious, I was content, the girlfriend was content, our bellies were definitely smiling. As we finished the owner came back around to ask how everything was and also proceeded to inform us of how he opened the pizzeria, a little bit about the neighborhood, and gave us a recommendation on some good bbq. All in all, I recommend this business, not just for the pizza, or the amazing pecan pie, but also for the cozy atmosphere in large part made possible by the staff who remind you that an incredible experience doesn’t have...

Oh my goodness, if you get anywhere near this place, and don't stop there to eat, you are missing out on the BEST PIZZA that you will ever eat in our opinion. I can't believe that we have been coming down here since April of 2016, and didn't find this place till now. We will definitely be making this one of our places to eat out at. We are already deciding what we want to try next year. We had the Voodoo Pie, Hawaiian, and the Supreme, and they were all amazing!!!!!!! Thank you so much for the great food!!!

Update: We were so full from the pizza that we didn't have room for dessert, so I went back the next day and got a piece of the Strawberry, Buttermilk and Coconut all homemade by Holly the wife and they were all delicious, of course I'm partial to Strawberry and Donnie is partial to Coconut and he ate his before I could get a picture of it 😋.
