Fun place to go and a good beer selection

by Linda2263 at Citysearch

We like to have dinner late, but we don't like to eat at chain restaurants. This is not that easy to accomplish in Franklin. We're always surprised at how early restaurants close. Pie in the Sky is a fun place to go and is open past 9PM! The staff has always been fun and friendly, the pizza is good...although the sauce could use a little more zing to it. The beer selection is good too. Neither of us care for the Yazoo or Sweetwater beers that seem to be everywhere and Pie in the Sky has plenty of alternatives. You gotta have cold beer with pizza!

• Pros: Friendly, fun
• Cons: sauce a little bit bland

Fantastic new location in Midtown really does it right!!

I just discovered Pie In The Sky's new Midtown location, and i was BLOWN AWAY!! They've added an awesome patio onto the front of the old Longhorn steakhouse location on Lyle Ave off West End. They've expanded their two for one drafts to all day every day. They're staying open until 2 am most nights, and their food is better than ever!! My brother was happy that he could smoke on the enclosed patio, and the vibe inside the restaurant was as hip as any place off, or on, West End. We're planning on trying their late night scene soon. Apparently, Henry and the Seahawks are playing every Thursday PM. We had a great lunch of quickly-served custom slices with piles of chunky, fresh toppings, and a delicious jumbo wing sampler with numerous savory and spicy sauces. The service was attentive and professional without being stuffy, i.e. HIP: everything that I love about Midtown!! We'll be back very soon.

• Pros: Free Parking, Great Draft Beer, the BEST Pizza around!!

OMG! SOOOO GOOD!! Best in the South!!!

We live in Memphis and my family and I went for a quick trip to Nashville on Thursday. Someone recommended us going to Pie because it was kid friendly. OMG! I was blown away with how good it was. The "Traditional" wings were the best I have ever had- perfect spice and texture. I wanted to try the many other varieties they offered but needed to save room for the pizza and that was the fantastic part!! I really couldn't get enough of their pizza. I had a thin crust veggie. A perfect amount of sauce and cheese and great crust, crispy and flavorful. So, goooood, what is their secret ingredient?!?! Also, I really like the fact that they use all fresh ingredients like REAL sliced mushrooms, not the canned ones!

Apparently they are a Franklin fixture (suburb of Nashville) but we went to the newest store on Lyle Street near Vanderbilt because it was by our destination. I really liked the atmosphere (cozy, warm and a cool scene). If I did not have kids, I would have loved to hang out and drink a pitcher of beer.

Lastly, I met the owners (a husband and wife team). They were checking on the service at each of the tables. It made me like this place even more because they seemed like really nice, hard working, honest people... a true American "Mom and Pop" operation. Anyway, I just wanted people to know what great food they have- it is rare to be so enthusiastic about a restaurant. We use to live in NYC and got use to really good pizza. Since we've been back South nothing seems to compare except... finally... I have found Pie in the Sky!! I only wish they would build one in Memphis!

• Pros: Fantastic food!! Great service! Family friendly!
• Cons: Really none!
