Our pleasure Tammy! Happy early 20th Anniversary! We are on our way to Vegas at this very moment to celebrate our 15th! We hope you have a great time in Gatlinburg!
Loved the video! “Versus” is a great idea for a series! A couple of suggestions we have are: Putt-Putt: Old McDonald’s vs. Hillbilly Golf Go-kart tracks: The Track vs. Blake Jones And for food, country cooking: The Old Mill vs. Paula Deen’s… Again, love your videos! Can’t wait to see your next Smoky Mountain adventure!
We love Big Daddy’s Pizza 🍕 We love the fire brick oven! In all fairness we have not tried the other pizzeria. But will do the next time we are visiting. Here is an vs challenge. The Gatlinburg Skylift Park vs The Hawk Skylift. This is going to be a hard one. One has the bridge & one has horseback riding (which is priced separately)… we love the The Hawk because it’s laidback. They have rescued dogs. They have horses. They give you free moon pies & water. No crowds. And beautiful views of the mountains. Thank you & we are having fun watching your videos when we are not there in person!! 💖💖
We’ve eaten both. We liked both and would go back. We give best Italian just a little edge because the loaded pizza is great as well as the garlic knots.
Thanks for sharing this. I love the blind taste test. I have never tried either place, but I would enjoy eating by the river at the Best Italian. Thanks again for a great video.
More often than not, I set my GPS to take me to Big Daddy’s when I visit pigeon forge and that’s my first stop of the trip. I loooove their specialty pizzas and dips for the bread knots. It’s a must for me, haha.
We have had good experiences at the Big Daddy's in Pigeon Forge! Especially when they do their BOGO special in JAN-FEB & kids get arcade cards...it's a great deal then Jamie!
Good comparison, next you should try burgers, we loved the ones at junction 35 and love them at Fudruckers too. So many places around here make awesome burgers so you’d be stuck buying a whole bunch for the competition.
We are looking to a burger vs (love to do some with local goat/blue moose). Junction 35/Fudruckers would be great to mix in too! Thanks Heath & Marcia!
Man years ago when my girls were much younger we stayed in Gatlinburg and one night we decided to eat at the Pizza Hut right in the center of Gatlinburg, on an upper level building, above the street. That was some of the best pizza we have ever had. It was so good. I'm not sure if that Pizza Hut is even still located there any longer or not. I definitely want to try Big Daddys next time up there.
There are lots of pizza places we still haven’t tried yet. I think Brie & I grabbed lunch at that Pizza Hut 14years ago. I wish I was recording video back then, that would be fun for me to go back & watch!
I would love to see you do a taste test with Smoky Mountain Brewery and Luigi’s. Also love to see you try Buddy’s BBQ in Sevierville and Hungry Bear BBQ
Just goes to show that looks are deceiving. I would have thought Best Italian was going to be the winner. I thought the other one looked over cooked. Looked like ya'll had fun doing it. Hope your week is going great! God bless!
The Chicken Hut and Guys Chicken No Way Jose Mexican and Loco Burro Fresh Mex would be cool to rate! We Love Your Videos. Excellent information and reviews! We have had Big Daddy’s pizza several times and like it, Blaze is our favorite but want to try Luigi’s in Gatlinburg!
Would love to see you do Reagan’s House Of Pancakes vs. Frizzle Chicken. Thanks. Also Alamo Steakhouse steak vs. The Peddler steak. Thank you so much. This is such a great idea as we have looked at all these places separately
We have gotten pizza at Big Daddys. Really didn't care for it and thought that their prices were on the high side. We have never eaten at Best Italian. I enjoyed the way you did the blindfold test.
We might have to compare them back to back, but just not together. I would be afraid the first one would melt by the time we get to the 2nd location. Great suggestion! Thanks Chrissy!
Me and my wife have tried both places and both are great to me it’s kind of a draw we usually hit up both ever time we’re in the mountains we got at least 3 times a year usually a week at a time we are south of Nashville near Columbia TN
Ryan and Brie I have an idea for you for a vs. Blind taste test. Tony Gores BBQ. Vs. Preachers Smokehouse. I have been to both and I like them both but it would be interesting for you all to do a blind taste test and compassion of the two. And both are Christian places. It would make a great video.
Big daddy’s is hands down better than best Italian. We eat there everytime we are in Gatlinburg. We really like the taco pizza they have. We do eat pizza from best Italian also but we go to the one in the middle of town because we think it’s better tasting.
The pizzas look great! By looks I would have picked Best Italian, would love to try both! You should do a which is best Bennet’s BBQ & Corky’s? My uncle and his family prefer Corky’s and we prefer Bennet’s. 🤗 Also where is the oldest daughter? I don’t see her in many of your videos 🤷🏻♀️
Love this video, but I haven't eaten either one but the Big Daddy's looked the best to me but my daughter is also a cheese person and she liked the look of Best Italian but my favorite is Slice Pizza at the Space Needle, great video y'all.God Bless
Never tried Best Italian. Do like Big Daddy's in Pigeon Forge. Everytime we come to our cabin in Gatlinburg from Chicago we always have Mellow Mushroom
@@AdventureIsOutThere The idea hit me this past weekend when I was with my brother and his family in the area for a few days, and they went and got some of the lit'l donuts while waiting to be seated at No Way Jose's.. I had to leave early to go back to work, but today..they sent me pics from the skybridge.. same day you posted the review..
I would like to see steaks put into comparison from The Local Goat and Cherokee Grill 🥩 (I love the ribeye from The Local Goat but haven’t eaten at the Cherokee Grill yet)
I didn’t know y’all would use blindfolds doing this lol I’m not sure how my steak recommendations would go in that case…. I also didn’t know Best Italian was hiding back there and I love the creek seating, I’m putting that place on my to do list when in the area next time, I tried Big Daddy’s in Sevierville last trip and was very disappointed
big daddy's has that bubble up effect in their dough and i hate that. virtually it ruins the pizza for me. even when big daddy's has the buy one get one free, i would pass on them. j dels pizza on teaster is the best around for us. we love it. we live here so we get to eat anywhere all the time.
@@AdventureIsOutThere probably was joshie, who is not one of my favorite you tubers. he acts so high and mighty, like nothing is good enough for his taste.
I love your videos. This was a great one like they all are. The adventures with your family are always so good.
Thanks SMM!
Thanks so much for these videos! My husband and I are coming to Gatlinburg next week for our 20th anniversary! Can’t wait!
Our pleasure Tammy! Happy early 20th Anniversary! We are on our way to Vegas at this very moment to celebrate our 15th! We hope you have a great time in Gatlinburg!
Great video!! Would love to see a steak comparison between the Peddler and Alamo.
We have a steak comparison video planned and hopefully soon! Thanks Aaron!

We always love Best Italian. Thank you for showing that outdoor eating area there, I had no idea that was there.
Our pleasure L Lowery!
Looked delicious! Thank you for the video!
Our pleasure Blake!
Very cute and detailed versus video! Really enjoyed it and great info about prices and flavors. Keep it up! Great first versus video
Thanks FFA!
This was a fun video and will be a fun series of competitions to enjoy watching … thanks!!
It was fun to make, we are glad you enjoyed it Dave!
Great family video. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure, thanks Don!

Skylift/Anakeesta/Hawk are on our to-do list, great suggestions Viv! We truly appreciate all your encouragement & support!
It all looks good to me! Thanks for the review!
Our pleasure CindyLuWho!
Wife wants to come down and do the pizza test, we both enjoy watching your videos keep them coming.
Will do Mike, we appreciate the encouragement!
My husband and I found Best Italian first and introduced my parents to it. Their pizza is our absolute favorite in Gatlinburg.
We thought it was great Kim! We have talked about going back someday soon and eating along the creekside as it is very relaxing!
Best Italian.. hands down! Locally owned too!
They were both good IMO Sean, hope you are doing well! -Ryan
@@AdventureIsOutThere I'm doing well!! Thank you sir!! Great job as always..Let's do something soon!!
We’ve eaten both. We liked both and would go back. We give best Italian just a little edge because the loaded pizza is great as well as the garlic knots.
We need to give their garlic knots a try next time we go back, we have heard they are good. Thanks bigjim!
Great video 😊🍕 pizza is one of my favorite foods! 😋
We love pizza too Mare!
Great comparison! Now we’re hungry for yummy pizza! Thanks for all that you do.
Our pleasure H Family...Thanks!
Great video. We stay in Gatlinburg every year in November and always go to Best Italian but we might have to give Big Daddy's a try next time.
Thanks Jonathan!
Thanks for sharing this. I love the blind taste test. I have never tried either place, but I would enjoy eating by the river at the Best Italian. Thanks again for a great video.
The creekside seating is very nice! Our pleasure Teresa!
I have never tried Best Italian but have tried Big Daddy's in Pigeon Forge and thought it was really good!
They both seemed good to me Tawna! -Ryan
That was fun‼️🍕🍕
We’ve only eaten Big Daddy’s but will definitely give Best Italian a try next time we visit the area.
It was fun to make! Creekside dinning is the way to go at Best Italian LMac!
Creekside dining looks great
We have utilized it eating at Howard’s Restaurant, it’s nice! Love the Epcot picture MD!
I’ve not tried either one. This was a really cute idea. Looking forward to your next one.
It was a fun way to have dinner as a family, we have lots of ideas for other ones coming soon! Thanks Julie!
Awesome video guys! Maybe let’s have a battle royale between The Peddler and The Greenbrier. 😂
I have been thinking the same thing, just need to set it up! Thanks Michelle!

Went to peddler in oct. then park grill in July. Ordered same exact 12oz ribeye and liked the one at park grill better.
We would love to do a peddler/alamo/greenbrier steak versus soon PJB!
Good comparison, next you should try burgers, we loved the ones at junction 35 and love them at Fudruckers too. So many places around here make awesome burgers so you’d be stuck buying a whole bunch for the competition.

I have eaten at Big Daddy’s and loved it. The carnivore was hard to beat.
I think we have tried that one too, it was good Greg!

@@AdventureIsOutThere That would've been cool if you were videoing back then. It was a very good Pizza Hut back in the day.
Now I want to sit by the river and eat pizza. I’ve never heard of Best Italian. Next try The Old Mill vs The Apple Barn
It’s a nice spot to relax & eat a pizza! Great suggestion, anything in particular you want to see go against each other at these 2 locations Mandy? 🥊
Awesome comparison!! I do love some good pizza!
Thanks TPV!
I would love to see you do a taste test with Smoky Mountain Brewery and Luigi’s. Also love to see you try Buddy’s BBQ in Sevierville and Hungry Bear BBQ
Great suggestions, thanks Teresa!

We had a lot of fun making it and looking forward to making many more! Thanks Cathy!
The Chicken Hut and Guys Chicken
No Way Jose Mexican and Loco Burro Fresh Mex would be cool to rate!
We Love Your Videos. Excellent information and reviews! We have had Big Daddy’s pizza several times and like it, Blaze is our favorite but want to try Luigi’s in Gatlinburg!
Great suggestions! Thanks Janet!
Would love to see you do Reagan’s House Of Pancakes vs. Frizzle Chicken. Thanks. Also Alamo Steakhouse steak vs. The Peddler steak. Thank you so much. This is such a great idea as we have looked at all these places separately
Great suggestions, thanks Neil!
Hands down the place to go is A Taste Of Italy.
We are going to hopefully get there soon, thanks Thomas!
Can you please do a taste test of Cakes By Bakin’ Bishop against Gi Gi’s cupcakes. Just the mini cupcakes! Enjoy your videos!
Great suggestion! Thanks Libby!
We have gotten pizza at Big Daddys. Really didn't care for it and thought that their prices were on the high side. We have never eaten at Best Italian. I enjoyed the way you did the blindfold test.
It was fun to do Nancy! I know a lot of people like Best Italian. We are going to do some more with Mellow Mushroom, Luigi's, etc.
Best Italian is the best I have had both to me best is the best enjoyed review 😂
Glad you enjoyed it dp!
Fun video! I’d love for you to compare Andy’s frozen custard up against either Rita’s or Cussin’ Custard.
Sounds like a fun one to do! 🍦 Thanks Connie!
I think we are going to chose best Italian, just because of the seating outside, hoping to get there before the rain comes in 😀
The outside seating is nice Shonen!
@@AdventureIsOutThere we took the skylift it was amazing
How about Applewood Farmhouse Restaurant vs The Old Mill?
Great suggestion Allison!
I would like to know besides Little Caesar pizza what would be the next cheap and delicious pepperoni pizza?
Don’t know about big daddy’s but best Italian was great. And this is from an guy who grew up in Jersey.
The riverside seating is nice at Best Italian!
Great video! You should compare The Yard to The Crazy mason.
We might have to compare them back to back, but just not together. I would be afraid the first one would melt by the time we get to the 2nd location. Great suggestion! Thanks Chrissy!
Ya I thought about that after I wrote that lol. Sounded like a good idea at the time, but it would be hard being in 2 different towns.
Me and my wife have tried both places and both are great to me it’s kind of a draw we usually hit up both ever time we’re in the mountains we got at least 3 times a year usually a week at a time we are south of Nashville near Columbia TN
It was a draw to me too Corey! -Ryan
Big Daddy’s IS the best! 👍🏻
It was good 300!
Big Daddys is the best. We eat there everytime we come to Gatlinburg.
We love when they do winter BOGO specials in JAN-FEB. They give the kids arcade cards at the Pigeon Forge location then too Angela!
Ryan and Brie I have an idea for you for a vs. Blind taste test. Tony Gores BBQ. Vs. Preachers Smokehouse. I have been to both and I like them both but it would be interesting for you all to do a blind taste test and compassion of the two. And both are Christian places. It would make a great video.
I have Delauder's vs Preachers on the agenda & will keep Tony Gores in mind to mix in eventually too. Thanks SMM!
Big daddy’s is hands down better than best Italian. We eat there everytime we are in Gatlinburg. We really like the taco pizza they have. We do eat pizza from best Italian also but we go to the one in the middle of town because we think it’s better tasting.
Mmmm....taco pizza! Sounds like something we will have to try! 🌮🍕😁
Can you do breakfast spot in pigeon forge versus?
We are looking to put some pancakes up against each other soon. There certainly isn't a shortage of pancake places!
The pizzas look great! By looks I would have picked Best Italian, would love to try both! You should do a which is best Bennet’s BBQ & Corky’s? My uncle and his family prefer Corky’s and we prefer Bennet’s. 🤗 Also where is the oldest daughter? I don’t see her in many of your videos 🤷🏻♀️
BBQ versus are coming soon! She is camera shy, but often with us & like to help with camera work.

Love this video, but I haven't eaten either one but the Big Daddy's looked the best to me but my daughter is also a cheese person and she liked the look of Best Italian but my favorite is Slice Pizza at the Space Needle, great video y'all.God Bless
We are hoping to get to Slice Pizza soon! Thanks Rita!
How about No Way Jose vs. Loco Burro!
Great suggestion, thanks Jerry!
Never tried Best Italian. Do like Big Daddy's in Pigeon Forge. Everytime we come to our cabin in Gatlinburg from Chicago we always have Mellow Mushroom
We used to have Mellow Mushroom back when we lived in FL. Haven't had it here yet. We will have to mix them in a versus soon. Thanks William!
Family was just talking...Donut Friar vs Lit'l Donut shop..
I almost did that exact one on the way home from our Shark Week video when we were at Landshark Bar & Grill. Will hopefully do soon, thanks Scott!

Who and where can find country fried steak in pigeon or Gatlinburg
Not sure, haven't had it in a long time Lito.
Hello Ryan and brie
Hey Terry!
Crawdaddys versus landshark
Chesapeake's is one of our favorite seafood places. We will have to do a seafood comparison soon! Thanks Papa Stans!
Mad dog ice cream vs marble slab ice cream
Great suggestions, thanks Luis!
I would like to see steaks put into comparison from The Local Goat and Cherokee Grill 🥩 (I love the ribeye from The Local Goat but haven’t eaten at the Cherokee Grill yet)
Steak Versus video will be coming soon, thanks Lady Bug!

Delauders bbq vs anyone
We are going to be putting them up against Preacher's soon EBR!
Best Italian is better
That was Brie’s winner 🍕

I saw a youtube review of Jdels saying it was the worst pizza they have ever had. We will have to put it to the test soon Michelle!
