Obie’s Pizza

The food is great! The service is perfect! They are very personal and considerate of the customers time and money. The prices are extremely good for this pizza establishment. They deliver to my workplace, so now I have everyone ordering from this place!

I love this place. The food is good, they deliver for free through orderup, but the customer service is AWESOME!!! Today our driver forgot my ranch dressing so I called and the ranch was delivered I. 7 mins with a warm apology and some drinks! I love this place. Keep it up guys!

Haven’t had pizza this good in a long time! Fresh out of the oven too. The employee that served me was very courteous, and it was very quick service, not to mention very reasonably priced. Would defintely go back next time I’m in Nashville.

Hey, wake up midtown Nashville! Obies is the best place in town to grab a slice. Obies is a long-​time fixture for take-​out pizza near Vanderbilt and the mid-​town hospitals. However, it appears that those of us living and working around Elliston Place have forgotten how convenient and declicious it is to pick up a great slice of pizza for lunch. Since working around here, I have been to Obies about 10 times in the last couple months, and every time I have enjoyed a perfect piece of pepperoni pizza. Nothing fancy. Traditional New York Style, chewy crust, zesty sauce and plenty of cheese. One piece and a drink is under 5 dollars, and will not slow you down in the afternoon. Excellent value. The dine in area is clean, cool and a great place to people-​watch through the wrap-​around picture windows.
There are a lot of newer, hipper restaurants around, but it should be mandatory for any self-​respecting Nashvillian to drop by Obies for a simple but stellar meal.

My wife and I love Obie’s!
The pizza is delicious, and their menu prices are pretty close to unbeatable.
Highly recommended!

Best pizza and wings hands down,
They should change their name from Obie’s pizza to
«Damn good pizza» cuz it’s DAMN GOOD.

Obie’s pizza is some freakin underrated Nashville pizza.
From the moment me and my friends walked in, the guy working, Nash, was. the. HOMIE. It was late night on a Wednesday, and the guy was real personable and very happy we walked in, even when it was close to closing time. Helped us pick right what we wanted off the menu, and told us a little about the history of the place. All in all, service was great. But that pizza though…
Great pizza. We ordered the BBQ and Greek Gyro and they both were super scrumptious. The sauce was runny and that’s exactly how I like it.
They’re open until 4 AM on weekends AND they deliver.

The customer service is fantastic. They really care about the customers and go out of the way to make sure they are satisfied!

I went with the pepperoni pizza, thin crust. I was disappointed from the first bite. The crust was more hand tossed than thin and the sauce is not too appealing. The pepperoni was overcooked and had a strange taste to it. Only upside to this place was the decent delivery time.

Good food, phenomenal, attentive customer service.

Walked there on a Thursday afternoon looking to whet my whistle with some pipin hot za. This being my first time in Nashville, I was searching out a local establishment and going into it with an open mind. Closed at 1:30 on a Thursday with no hours posted on the door? What kinda orangutan do we have running this joint? I question the business practices of Obie P. Za and his barnyard crew of employees that think this is acceptable

Horrible… Nothing like Chicago style pizza. If you are craving Chicago style pizza don’t waste your time.

1. This place does not have Chicago style pizza, and here lies all hopes and dreams of finding it in Nashville, shattered at this last stop.
2. This place does have pretty good pizza.
Stopped in with a Chicago native to see if we could find the good stuff in Nashville. No go. The place is also mostly a take-​out/​delivery type of place, not really a lot of room inside, but the guys inside were kind, if a bit clueless as to what Chicago style pizza is. The pizza was good and I believe a large with pepperoni was about $ 15, it was certainly hearty but no true deep dish here. Still a delicious pizza and I would go back in the area!

Ate food from here now.
I really loved the pizza! Fries could’ve been better but good stuff!

Every once in a while I crave some nice and greasy pizza. This place does well with satisfying that craving!
I actually like the pizza… It’s pretty tasty I think. My only issue with it is that they claim to have ‘Chicago style’ pizza… And even though they may shape the edges up like Chicago style… This is no Chicago style. It’s more like a New York style thin crust with big tall edges. You pretty much have to fold it to eat it. But still, I liked it.
Can’t say much for the atmosphere… Or the utensils, if you eat there. But decent pizza, if you like that style. The guys who work there are nice as well.

Ugh… I don’t even want to write this review, because I think it might make me sick to my stomach. After spending all day at the Music City’ Brewers Festival, my friends and I needed something to soak up all that beer. As we were headed back to my friends hotel on Elliston, we saw that Obies was open. So, we decided to grab a few pizzas. Why we didn’t eat at Gold Rush next door is a mystery to me. The fact that drunk people thought this stuff was bad, is really saying a lot. Because when I’m drunk, I’ll usually eat anything. I would not recommend eating here. That the end of this review b/​c I’m not feeling well now.

**The Obie’s pizza recipe used here is not the same as the original if anyone remembers the place prior to the early 2000s**
If any of you are like me, someone who frequented Obie’s on Elliston Place but moved away prior to about 2001, you will be disappointed because the current Obie’s pizza and the old Obie’s pizza having nothing in common at all. You can get your hopes up because the place has the same name and is in the same location and is almost the same looking from the outside and practically identical in the inside (so much so it’s like walking into a time-​warp).
I grew up on Obie’s pizza and started coming as a baby in the 1980s. My parents were Obie’s fanatics and were always there from the time it first opened in about 1979. The originator of the place was a young guy who was killed unexpectedly shortly after it opened. Obie’s changed hands many times after that but the new operators always remained true to the original recipe. The place was called Obie’s Flying Tomato Pizza back then. They served thin crust, pan, and deep dish Chicago style pizzas.
All of us were such Obie’s lovers that even though we moved away in the early 90’s when any of us came back to Nashville we’d always bring several pizzas back on the plane (when you were allowed to do that sort of thing) for the rest of the family. The last time I did that was about 2001. A year of so after that we got a call from my aunt to forewarn us that Obie’s had changed owners yet again and this time the pizza changed too.
I decided to stop by recently even though I’d been told by other family who checked out the change not to go because there is no way I would like it they said. I couldn’t resist the temptation. The owner was there and I just came out and asked him if his pizza was anything at all like the original Obie’s. He said he wouldn’t know because he never had the original Obie’s but to please go ahead and try his. He also said the current Obie’s pizza was a recipe he created. So we ordered and I found that the pizza wasn’t bad; I thought it was just okay judging it objectively not comparing it to the original. My aunt was with me and was surprised that the recipe had changed yet again from when she was there in about 2007.
At the end of our meal the owner asked me if his Obie’s pizza tasted anything like the original. I told him it tasted nothing at all like the original but was still decent pizza which was the truth and he seemed happy with that.
If anyone out there happens to know the recipes for the ORIGINAL (circa 1979 — 2000) Obie’s Flying Tomato deep dish and pan pizzas let me know!

Ok, so it was all a misunderstanding. I called them again and the guy misunderstood my address. So, I guess their only guilt is not paying attention.
Pretty good pizza, too.

My husband was craving a Chicago style deep dish pizza and thought he remembered Obie’s having one so we looked it up, called and confirmed then headed out from Brentwood.
When we got there the place was EMPTY though everyone had to be somewhere because there was no parking to be found anywhere nearby. However, after watching the action in the kitch, it was obvious this place is not much of an eat in place but does one heck of a delivery business.
We ordered our pizza and they told us to sit a the table with a heater on it. It’s not pretty to look at but it’s well worn with age. This place has character!
He told us our pizza took a little longer because of the thick crust and that it would be about 20 minutes. He brought our pizza to the table piping hot and w couldn’t wait to dig in.
I don’t know if this is a true Chicago style pizza as I’ve only had the ‘chain’ versions before but I can ay that it was a good pizza. The crust was well done and not doughey. The sauce was nice and had a nice balance of zesty and acid, not sweet which I detest. Toppings and cheese were plentiful.
What’s more, these ar people that care about their food and about your experience. It feels good to eat at a place like this where they care so much. That alone makes it worth the drive and fight for a parking space.

Obie’s earns four stars for one simple reason: they stay open late! Super late! I’m talking 2:00 a.m. late! They even deliver until around 1:00 or 1:30 (at least on weekends), and while it isn’t the best pizza in the city, it’s certainly pretty tasty.
Obie’s is on the ever-​popular Elliston Place right between The End, The Exit/​In, Samurai Sushi and a half-​dozen other extremely cool bars, restaurants and places of interest. Obie’s is a pretty small shop, but there’s enough room to dine in if you’re not there when they’re slammed. They have pretty cheap prices on most of their pizzas and other items (calzones, meatball subs, et cetera), and the staff is always quite nice.
We really need an Obie’s on the East Side. Their Italian cuisine is pretty run-​of-​the-​mill, but they certainly know how to please the late-​night stoner/​barfly/​musician crowd. And the location is absolutely prime. If you’re on Elliston and looking to eat during the day, you might as well hit Rotier’s, the soda shop or Jersey Mike’s. But if it’s late at night and you’re fiending for a nice, greasy slice of pizza, this is your spot.
