About Jersey Hustle Pizzeria Pigeon Forge
Looking for authentic Jersey-style pizza in Pigeon Forge? Jersey Hustle Pizzeria delivers the real deal with their perfectly crispy thin-crust pizzas and generous toppings. This veteran and women-owned family business has become a local favorite, especially at their Pine Mountain location that stays open until midnight.
Their specialty pies showcase what makes Jersey Hustle stand out - The Gotti white pizza combines fresh ricotta and spinach, while The Boardwalk loads up on Italian meats like house-made meatballs, sausage, and crispy bacon. They've thoughtfully included both gluten-free and vegan options that don't sacrifice flavor.
The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a full beer and wine menu for the adults. Families appreciate the kid-friendly atmosphere, complete with TV access to keep little ones entertained while waiting for their food.
Be prepared for tourist-area pricing - small pizzas range from $17-28, reflecting the quality ingredients and prime Pigeon Forge location. During peak tourist season, wait times can stretch beyond an hour, so smart visitors use their online ordering system to skip the line.
Pro tip: If you're visiting during high season (summer or holidays), place your order at least 2-3 hours before you plan to eat. The restaurant gets slammed during dinner rush, and while the pizza is worth waiting for, planning ahead makes your experience much smoother. The Pine Mountain spot tends to be less crowded than other Pigeon Forge pizza restaurants, but it's still wise to plan ahead.
Amenities & Features
Don't Miss
The Gotti White Pizza
This white pizza with ricotta, garlic, mozzarella, spinach, onions, and fresh basil is hands down our favorite. It's creamy, garlicky, and loaded with fresh ingredients that actually taste like they came from Jersey.
Late Night Hours
The Pine Mountain location stays open until midnight daily, making it one of the few quality pizza spots for late-night munchies. We've grabbed slices here after long days at Dollywood more times than we can count.
Cauliflower Crust Options
Their gluten-free cauliflower crust actually tastes good - not cardboard-y like most places. Parents consistently tell us their gluten-free kids devour these pizzas and ask to come back.
The Boardwalk Loaded Pizza
Packed with sausage, meatballs, bacon, green peppers, and onions, this pizza is serious business. It's messy, indulgent, and exactly what you want after a day in the Smokies.
Family-Friendly Atmosphere
The staff will hand over the TV remote so your kids can watch cartoons while you wait. They've got highchairs, outdoor seating for nice days, and genuinely seem to enjoy having families around.
Authentic Jersey Style
This isn't just tourist pizza with a Jersey name - it's the real deal with thin crust, quality ingredients, and that slightly charred bottom that makes Jersey pizza special. The owners clearly know what they're doing.
