The South is synonymous with great grub, and that includes pizza, so long as you know where to look. Lucky for you, we do – and it’s Nima’s Pizza! Sure to hit the spot, the pies aren’t just some of the best in the South. They’re some of the best in the world!

In the tiny town of Gassville, you’ll find about 2,500 residents and the “world famous” Nima’s Pizza.

google.com The pizzeria is famous now; however, that wasn’t the plan when it opened more than 20 years ago as a small retirement business.

Modest in appearance, Nima’s might not look like much, but it’s received tons of attention for its New York-style pies.

Angela Spiker/Google Since opening, Nima’s has been featured in an array of publications as well as on the Food Network and PizzaTV.com.

And the attention is definitely warranted! Over the years, Nima’s has competed at the International Pizza Challenge numerous times, winning a distinguished title just about every time.

Chris Swineford/Google It’s actually the “most winning team ever” at the International Pizza Challenge.

Nima’s received some of its biggest accolades in 2010.

Robby Ferguson/Google At the International Pizza Challenge, its pies were not only named the best in the USA, but they were ranked the second best in the world, losing by only four points to a chef from Italy.

It’s not just the judges at the International Pizza Challenge who love Nima’s pies, though.

Heather M Green/Google Most customers claim the pizzeria’s hand-made, brick oven-baked pies are the best they’ve ever eaten. And that might have something to do with the fact that Nima’s uses fresh ingredients from local vendors to craft pies that run the gamut from classic to innovative.

And though, pizza is Nima’s specialty, it’s just a portion of what you’ll find on the menu.

Robby Ferguson/Google In addition to its popular pies, Nima’s serves subs, calzones, Stromboli, appetizers, salads, and wings.

Delicious desserts have a place on the menu, too.

John Turner/Google With an array of fresh-baked pastries and cupcakes to choose from, you’ll definitely want to save room for an after-meal treat.
