We've eaten here several times, and while the food is usually good and affordable, there is always something! I would not want to eat down there, the place is dingy and run down. We always took our food to go. Had to go back once...because they forgot the bread sticks. If you pay credit, they charge a fee for it (no biggie, just another annoyance). BUT, if you pay cash, they never have exact change! Expect to get shorted your change, even if it is up to a dollar... It is right on U.T. campus, so parking is awful. So if you are dining in lots of luck and if you are picking up an order to go also lots of luck. I've had to compete with Grub Hub drivers for parking. The Lobster Ravioli is pretty good, also the Mediteranean plate. Don't get the spaghetti, though, unless you like watered down spaghetti-O-like sauce... I'm just done with them...More

I’ve eaten in places all around this world and I must say this place is the worst place of all. The whole demeanor or the place was third world. The food wasn’t tasty at all, my friend ordered ravioli and they came in an aluminum...pan and didn’t look anything like ravioli’s. I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and the bread was over heated and the cheese and ham had zero flavor. As I stated before worst food ever and that includes the 1943 C-Rations I ate in Vietnam in 1966=67!More

We were looking for a good Italian carry out option. This food is the bomb. Chicken parm was so good, everyone loved the breadsticks. Manicotti and shrimp on spag were awesome. No complaints what so ever, well the owner of the vape shop next door...will let you have it if you park in front of his store, but was treated very nicely at Oscars. Thanks.More

We were told about this place by word-of-mouth said it very good restaurant, so we thought we would give it a try, when we walked in we were the only ones there, we had to wait a little while before we were waited on. We...placed our order and waited on our food, and once it came out it was presented very well in nice glass plates and bowls, what cheapened the experience was plastic forks and knifs we had to eat with, it would have been much better with real silverware. Anyway the food was about average but our server was very good.More

Very good pizza in a no-frills restaurant near the Tennessee campus. This is obviously a student hangout, judging from the other diners. We just had pizza, which was good and inexpensive. No liquor license. The young employees were friendly and efficient. Don't sit near the...door on a cold night!More

I ordered from Oscars through Grubhub. My expected wait time was 65-75 minutes, long but I was willing to wait. However, when I called 75 minutes after I ordered because order tracking was still showing “preparing,” I was told “we’ve been busy, but your order...is ready.” Great. Cause my order was cold when I received it (manicotti is not very good when it’s cold, FYI). I received no communication from the restaurant or from Grubhub that the order would be late. I ordered at 12:45, it arrived at 2:35. When I contacted Grubhub for a refund, I was told the restaurant wouldn’t give me a refund because they told me it would take an hour. And Grubhub wouldn’t refund because I received my order. So I will not order from this restaurant or from Grubhub again. Note to those in customer service... a little communication goes a long way. All you had to do was tell me it was going to be delayed and make sure it was hot when it got here.More

I've always had top-notch service and food at Oscar's. The seafood pizza is off the charts. If you're looking for a nice family owned restaurant with decent prices, this is the spot! 5 stars!

We ordered pizza while walking to our hotel after a UT game. The poor driver was stuck in traffic from the game, but still managed to get the pizza to us while hot. We thought it was really good.

I ordered my food at 6:40 pm. It took almost 30 minutes to get someone to answer. It was the 3rd quarter of the UT / Alabama game so I understood. After placing my order, I was told it would be right out. I made...sure to order in the 3rd quarter to get in line. After calling again at 8:15, they assured me the driver would be here in 5-10 minutes. It has now been another 35 minutes! I tried to call and now they aren't answering the phone. Stay away from here! The truth is all customers want.More

Visiting town on business, I didnt want to leave my hotel. They didn't have a restaurant so the lady at the desk recommended Oscars. The delivery was quick and the food was not expensive however I'm sure it would have tasted better if I had...been drinking all night. The Pizza was so greasy, the box was soaked when thd Pizza arrived. The Pizza had a glistening sheen on grease on top of it, nasty. Save your money and just order from Dominos or Pizza Hut - it would be better.More

I like pizza but rarely eat it. However, this pizza is so worth the calories and fat!!! We had the supreme and can hardly wait to eat the leftovers for breakfast. The large was more than enough to serve three people. We ordered delivery at...our hotel. It arrived in just over 30 minutes and was piping hot. I was amazed! You can't go wrong with the choice. Much better than Pizza Hut pizza!More

We ordered pizza in this place, in my opinion the flavor could have been better and the pizza not so greasy. The place is not quite clean, tables and chairs are sticky. The place should improve that.

Food and service here was actually better than expected. The exterior of the building is pretty ugly and it's interior looks like 1980, but the servers were friendly and attentive The food quality was good and generous. We took to-go plates of calzones and bread...sticks back to our hotel. The menu is extensive, covers many food types, and is very reasonably priced. Based on the foot traffic in and out, it seems that most of its business is to-go or delivery. TV's were broken - which is a bummer. In summary - pleasantly surprised, but fix the TV's.More

My family and I decided to order from Oscar because it was recommended by the front desk staff at Holiday Inn in Downtown Knoxville. They delivered to the hotel. It was also very late an they would still deliver. We ordered a pizza and desserts....The pizza was great!!! I was very pleased with it. I had tiramisu and my mom and sister had cheesecake. The desserts I thought were out of this world. It was all so good and I couldn't believe how inexpensive it was! I will eat here again when I'm in Knoxville that is for sure!More
