Our Story
A Passion for Authentic Pizza inn
Pizza inn started with a single wood-fired oven, a family recipe, and an unshakeable belief that great pizza makes people happy.
Founded in Fayetteville, TN in 2009, Pizza inn was born from the dream of Marco and Linda Rivera — two food lovers who wanted their hometown to experience pizza the way it was meant to be: hand-stretched dough, house-made sauce, and premium fresh toppings loaded with flavor.
Over the years, the Pizza inn community grew far beyond what the Riveras ever imagined. What began as a tiny corner spot quickly became the most beloved pizza inn destination in Lincoln County. Today we serve thousands of loyal customers every week — whether dine-in, takeaway, or delivery — always with the same commitment to quality that started it all.
Every pizza that leaves our kitchen is crafted with locally sourced ingredients where possible, authentic Italian-style techniques, and a whole lot of heart. We believe that pizza inn is more than food — it is a shared experience.

What We Stand For
Our Mission & Core Values
Everything we do at Pizza inn is guided by four core values that define who we are and how we serve our community.
Quality First
We never cut corners. Every ingredient is selected for freshness and flavor, from the dough we knead daily to the cheese we shred in-house.
Community Love
Fayetteville is our home. We support local suppliers, sponsor community events, and give back to the people who made Pizza inn what it is.
Constant Innovation
We respect tradition but embrace creativity. Seasonal specials, bold new toppings, and evolving menu items keep our pizza inn exciting.
Guest Happiness
Every order matters. We train our team to deliver warm, genuine hospitality whether you visit us in person or order pizza inn for delivery.
