Here you`ll find a place that focuses on preparing American where patrons tend to favor pizza, sandwiches and salads. Expect the average entrée to cost in the range of $8 to $12.

Most of the food here is homemade and from organic products. I love that they offer not your average toppings (sun dried tomatoes, pesto, etc.) which make for a great meal!

I love visiting Tomato head. I have never had a bad meal there. The food is always exceptional and the staff friendly. Although they do get very busy it can be a wait to get in. The place is a bit small, but very much worth the wait.

Pizza & Southwest salad

OK, listen up everyone. If you have not tried the Tomato Head, you are missing out on some great food.
The pizza dough is light and ingredients are fresh and numerous and on the exotic side-try the goat cheese!
Also, the guys that fiz the pizzas get on the artistic kick and make some of the most beautiful pies.

Additionally, the Southwest chicken salad with black beans is awesome. I have them... more

This little restaurant is a cute little spot on the middle of downtown Knoxville and it's great. On a cold day you can eat inside in the cozy atmosphere where you order at the front and they'll bring it to your table, but on a nice day you can sit outside and enjoy the really good food. For picky eaters they have the "norms" like cheese pizza, or a ham and cheese sandwich, but for those looking... more

This is one hopping pizza place!!! It was crowded, but I did not mind. The servers are very friendly and very helpful. We did not have too much time to wait, so we had a carry out and then ate it outside at one of the countless tables in the market square. Absolutely wonderful atmosphere to go with the very delicious, mouth-watering, finger licking good pizza!!!! Worth driving all the way into... more

A reason to drive downtown!

Most Knoxvillians think of downtown as a place
to avoid, rather than a destination, what with the
poor parking, and the "local color" that can sometimes
be seen carted off in paddy wagons. Nonetheless,
Tomato Head is a reason to leave your Kingston Pike comfort zone, and venture into Market Square. The
decor is eclectic but pleasant. The signature pizzas are excellent -- go for the #3 (lamb... more

The sandwich I had was good. Wasn't too crazy about the soup. The 2 guys at the register were very friendly and accommodating to our veganism, though some of the other workers didn't seem so nice. But it doesn't really matter, since they weren't the ones you have to interact with!

I wish I'd tried the pizza, but if you look at a large, plain cheese, the plain cheese is $4 cheaper than... more

Located in downtown Knoxville on Market Square, The Tomato Head serves a wide variety of sandwiches, salads, pizzas, and daily specials -- all inventively designed with excellent ingredients. Many are Vegan or Vegetarian, but there is something for almost every taste.

The restaurant has become a fixture on Market Square; as a result, it is very popular and is often crowded, but it is a... more

This place is awesome! We stumbled upon it while on vacation, and every member of our family was in pizza heaven. If I lived there, I'd be a regular...wish they had other locations around the country!!!

Located in Market Square this place is a favorite of mine for lazy Saturday and Sunday afternoons. (Weekday traffic makes it a little bothersome). I most often have the Vegan Sandwich with blue corn chips and a side of kalamata olives. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I shop at the Three Rivers Co-Op and they sell the Tomato Head Vegan Pesto & Hummus that they make there. Do not deny your self. ... more

Best veggie food I found in town. The location is downtown, not a far walk from UT. It is in a square where there was a play going on while we ate.

I had the Vegan sandwich and it was VeganYummy. The pizza also looks great. I also had a vegan soup that was great.

Every single time I've been there the food was to die for! They are very flexible with substitutions and will make any sandwich just the way you want it. Although the combinations aren't traditional, you'll love anything you try, even if you aren't a vegetarian!

I live in West Knoxville, but venture down to Market Square often (and brave the lack of parking) just to visit Tomato Head. I've yet to try anything that I did not enjoy, and as a recent convert to vegetarianism, their menu is an absolute godsend. Even during special events such as Sundown in the City, or Movies on Market Square, when there was frequently a 45 minute wait for seating,... more
