Best Pizza Bars in West End

Ophelia’s in Nashville was an unforgettable dining experience from start to finish. We started with the meatballs and Ophelia’s salad, both of which were flavorful and well-balanced. For our entrees, we indulged in the truffle pizza and truffle lasagna—both were absolutely amazing, rich, and packed with depth. To end the meal, we had the New York cheesecake, which was the perfect sweet finish to the night. The wine pairing throughout dinner truly elevated the experience, enhancing each dish beautifully. A special touch that made the evening even more memorable was being gifted a bottle of champagne to celebrate our engagement—such a thoughtful gesture. Big shoutout to Fonzie for his detailed attention at the bar and to Pat for his hospitality and warm, welcoming service. Ophelia’s is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience in Nashville!

I’m a big fan of Emmy Squared, especially the Colony pizza. The combo of the crust with the crispy pepperoni, pickled jalapeños, and honey drizzle makes for a savory, sweet flavor. There are menu options for salads, sandwiches, burgers, and wings. I’ve yet to hear anyone complain about the menu or quality of the food. What could use some focus is the attention to detail with service. If someone orders wings, make sure they have enough napkins. If someone orders a pizza, make sure there are enough utensils at the table after the appetizers are cleared. The East Nashville location wasn’t particularly busy during our visit, but the wait staff wasn’t particularly focused on more than the basics. We had lags between requests and returns to the table. (And it’s not s big place like The Cheesecake Factory.) When a meal can be $30+ per person with drink and tip and you’re given paper napkins and canned sodas, the wait staff needs to bridge the gap and ensure the dining experience aligns with the price point.

A hidden gem! This small family owned restaurant tucked away across from Gallatin High School. They said they’ve been here since 2008, and it is family owned and operated. The ambiance is unique, and you feel like you’re transported to Chicago. They serve very authentic Chicago style food. Hotdogs, Italian beef sandwiches, homemade pasta and pizzas. This should be on your list! It’s a hidden gem!
