Love the healthy and flavorful food options. Service was great! Nice patio dining on the square. I had the kepner melt, a greek salad, and the cleanse mocktail. My husband and I each had half the sandwich and shared the salad. We both loved it! Hoping I can recreate it at home since we don’t live close by. Waitress was super attentive! Would love to go here more often. It will be a must next time I visit Knoxville.

I’ve been meaning to write a review, as Tomato Head remains my favorite place for lunch in downtown Knoxville. Any time I meet friends, I always suggest this place and that’s where we end up going. Last week was no exception when I met up with a girlfriend and we came to Tomato Head for another delicious lunch. I love the variety of vegan and vegetarian dishes available for my friends who don’t eat meat. My go to will always be the turkey melt sandwich even though today I also added the squash curry soup to my lunch. Everything was amazing. Our waitress told me that the owner was here today and I expressed a desire to meet her. And lo and behold, she made time to come out and chat with us. Mahasti, I am so glad that you took a chance and opened this place up 35 years ago!
You have truly revitalized Market Square and hats off to you for never giving up!!

When we came, we were able to sit immediately. We were at a High Top outside. It was perfect for our group of 6 and dog.
Our server was Emma. She was very attentive and friendly. Everyone was really friendly.
The menu had plenty of options. I ordered a side ceasar and the Smoked Salmon pizza with Garlic Oil + pesto base. I added feta and red onion. I did not get a picture, but the salad was okay. I asked for no mushrooms and when the salad came it had a bunch of black olives. I thought that was a little odd. The salad was also very small. Now to the pizza. When I tell you this pizza was absolutely DELICIOUS!!!!! I ordered a second one to go. It was that good!!! It taste so fresh and perfect. I did get a side of ranch. I assume it was made fresh, but it was watery. Wouldn’t even stick on my food. Not good.
My to go pizza was oddly a lot smaller than the one I had at the restaurant.
I ordered a Margarita, but they said they were out of lime, so they made it with Strawberry. It wasn’t very good. And it was only half way filled. I think the bartender had the measurements incorrect.
Everyone in our party loved their pizza as well. My brother in law also ordered another to go.
I would absolutely come back. Oh and they let me use their outlet to charge my phone.
Also, I love Market Square. Such a cool vibe. I love the inclusivity of the area.

Tasty food. Serves meat, but multiple vegan options. It’s in a cool part of Knoxville too. Garage parking a reasonable walk from the restaurant.

Our favourite from back in college, Tomato Head is still great. The menu has hardly changed, which I love. Lots of delicious salads, pizzas & sandwiches & a great selection of drinks. This will always be one of my favourite restaurants in Knoxville. So many memories here!

We were recommended to eat here by a local. The best sandwich I’ve ever had. They use High quality ingredients and their bread is amazing. The service is top notch, all the employees are so friendly and hospitable. If I lived here I could eat here everyday and not get bored! Ask for Emma as your server, she is great and so kind!

Pizza is 9.4 light fluffy yet crispy crust.. Olive oil base 4cheese sub ricotta, garlic and oregano light char.
Place is large, nice music but, plain/clean cut for the area and the quality of food. I’m only mentioning since Google asked. The art is a nice touch. Maybe more I don’t know.

Didn’t bring utensils or napkins. Ordered water. The man had his fingerprint around the rim of the glass. In other words couldn’t drink the water. Brought the wrong bill. Otherwise everyone was friendly but not very attentive.Food was delicious.

Clean restaurant serving up classic and unusual pies. Great drink options. Service was a little slow but friendly. Loved sitting outside and watching the kids play in the fountain while we waited for food. Nice clean bathrooms.

First things first, the pizza was delicious. Amazing quality. You can tell this pizza has been around awhile. Great crust and delicious ingredients. The server was amazing and very nice. Great suggestions and very sweet.
Now for the bad. The pizza’s are WAY over priced. This pizza is more expensive than michelin star restaurants. I suggest don’t go here until they lower prices.
If you have money to throw around then you will not be disappointed. Very good pizza.
The atmosphere is fine.. nothing special. The decor is bland without any purpose or theme. Not much work has been done about the details. I will say everything looks clean and healthy it just is not a creative use of the space.
