Five Points Pizza, Pizzeria in East Nashville, United States.
Five Points Pizza is a pizzeria in East Nashville, with a second location on the west side of the city, serving New York-style pies made with hand-tossed dough, plum tomato sauce, and shredded mozzarella. The crust comes out of the oven thin and crispy, with slightly charred edges typical of this style.
The restaurant first opened in the Five Points area of East Nashville and built a following among locals who wanted New York-style pizza in a city more associated with Southern food. A second location was later added on the west side of Nashville, bringing the same menu to a different part of the city.
Five Points Pizza takes its name from the Five Points neighborhood in East Nashville, a crossroads area known for its independent shops and relaxed local life. Regulars often grab a slice at the counter and eat it standing up, which gives the place the feel of a neighborhood spot rather than a sit-down restaurant.
Slices are available at lunch on weekdays, which makes a quick stop easy without committing to a whole pie. The counter-service layout means you can order and eat at your own pace without waiting for a table.
One of the specialty pizzas on the menu uses habanero cream sauce as its base instead of the standard tomato, which is not something you would typically find at a New York-style pizza place. The same menu also offers a plant-based cheese option on any pie, listed alongside the regular choices without any extra fanfare.
