Savor the Flavor: The 10 Best Pizza Places in Nashville, Tennessee
If you're a fan of country music, you know that Nashville, Tennessee has a nickname. It's Music City! Whether you live there or visit often, chances are you've visited the CMA Music Festival or taken in a concert at the historic Ryman Auditorium or The Grand Ole Opry. Maybe you've seen a show at Bridgestone Arena or the relatively new Ascend Amphitheatre. Or maybe, just maybe, you've caught a football game or big arena tour at Nissan Stadium.
I work in country radio so I visit Nashville quite a bit. Exhibit A! That's yours truly guest announcing at The Grand Ole Opry.
I love catching concerts in Music City as well. When I do, I always try to game plan dinner before the show. I am a pizza fanatic and that is typically my food of choice. As familiar as I am with Nashville, it occurred to me that I am not well versed in who has the best pizza in Music City. So, I decided to consult the experts- the users on TripAdvisor. According to them, these are the 10 Best Pizza Places in Nashville.
