I love Smashing Tomato. They have fresh pizza cooked in their "wood-fired" oven and use the traditional method of cooking pizza. The service is pretty nice, it is fast and it always tastes good. They have salads, wines, pasta, artichoke dip, soups, bread. more

Smashing Tomato has the best pizza in Lexington! From the first bite, you can taste the freshness and quality of the ingredients. We also enjoy the famiy sized salad and the delicious artichoke dip. Everything I have ever tasted at this restaurant has been top notch. It is no more expensive than other pizza places, which don't offer the quality... more

We stopped here looking for a good Neopolitan pizza. For some reason, they don't exist in Louisville. This was a GREAT stop. The sauce was delicious, the ingredients were fresh, the crust was hand tossed. Fresh basil was abundant. The wood oven zaps these pies in no time and they are the real Italian style that we've enjoyed overseas. Not... more

Smashing Tomato has the most authentic Italian style pizza I've sampled in this country. It's not the big, overloaded American style pizza (which I love, too), but a nice sized, wood-fired pie with a couple of very fresh, delicious ingredients. They have two sauces: Mild and Smashed. The Smashed is spicy and compliments the toppings perfectly. Their salads are fresh... more

I love this place, it is quick but for quality food. You get a lot for your money. It is also kid-friendly!! This is NOT traditional pizza, but try some of the interesting types (arugula on pizza- who knew it was so yummy?) more

First time there and will be back many times. Being Italian in heritage, I have eaten many pizzas in my life. This is by far the best pizza on the face of the planet. Nothing dull or dry about the "wet" pizza which is prevalent in Northern Italy. If you haven't tried it, you need to go just once to... more

The pizza was excellant! I have never tasted pizza that good before. However, it was a little pricey. But, we will be back! more

My husband and I have been there twice and both times we were impressed. The first time was on a week night (less crowded) our ordered was taken promptly and pizza was ready within minutes of our order. Their wood fired pizza oven cooks everything quickly. Both trips we've gotten their wood fired artichoke dip which comes with oven baked... more
