scratch brick oven

best pizza with all the fresh ingredients you want. the atmosphere is unique and not available anywhere else. go in put a record on and chill with the coolstaffas they make your pizza. it's byob.

fantastic ingredients. can’t go wrong if you like pizza.staffwas very welcoming, helpful and friendly. great choices for unique soft drinks by the bottle.

scratch pizza is amazing!! loved the atmosphere and the pizza is very good! thestaffwas delightful and we will definitely be back again!

my first few experiences were great. however, i am afraid this might be one of those (sad) instances where.....a great place goes downhill, until their loyal customers disappear, leaving only a memory of what once was great....simply gone to pot! no pun intended. i usually get my pizza to go (order plenty time ahead as wait time can be ridiculous). atmosphere is more for young adults, too hipster for me. thestaffare very laid back and relaxed.... good and bad. if you are in a hurry and they are behind and you ordered an hour before, told 20-30 minute wait (nudge, nudge, cough cough :), they remain laid back & relaxed without offering the slightest bit of empathy. now the pizza! i used to order the "trust" pizza. the pizza artisans used to be pretty reliable. although, i personally believe they're creativity has been stifled. the last two trust's were a small step above mom attempting pizza hut. be adventurous on menu, order plenty ahead and give it a try. maybe they will/have read the reviews and put the brakes on their swirling before they are flushed.

poor. i can recommend any number of good pizza places in johnson city. greg's pizza has been a main stay in the city for several years as well as the pizza of their competitor, rocky's. sim's, luke's, and the mellow mushroom all have great pizza. at scratch you can expect to pay 25 dollars for a mediocre pizza at best. two out of the three times i went here it was awful. not only was the pizza was burnt but thestaffwas rude and dismissive. the only draw this place has is the environment but you're more likely to find an enjoyable atmosphere elsewhere. as for me i'll not go again.

scratch brick oven foodworks  fits right in its setting near the campus of eastern tennessee university in johnson city. the decor is whimsical, thestaffis fun and the pizza is way too good to pass up. there are different ways to order pizza at scratch. diners can select from the list of specialty pizzas, or they can choose to build their own pie. they can also have scratchstaffbuild a pizza for them. at the counter, tell the pizza maker what ingredients they don't like, or even leave the experience completely in the hands of the kitchen. there is vegan and gluten-free pizza. the wood-fired pizza oven puts a nice char on the medium-thick hand-tossed crust. this oven was built by the owners, and it also comes in handy with the bread sticks, which are essentially olive-oil-dressed pizza crust with a fresh pesto dipping sauce.  the kitchen created a veggie pizza with red and green peppers, banana peppers, kalamata olives, squash, zucchini, spinach and mushrooms. the sauce was evenly b

won't go back!!!. the pizza is average.
the concept is bohemian and cool. i felt like i was in berkley ca.
however, there are new owners and a new attitude. thestaffwas snotty at best. read the signs, give us the order and don't bother us.
the whole vinyl thing has a great feel to it. however, i played an album and a kid took it off in the middle of the first song. i told the kid i played the album and a bitchy staffer yelled across the room, "they can change it".
well bitch, you can let them change it all you want because you won't ever see me again. i paid $50 for two pizzas and won't put up with that kind of customer service especially for average pizza.

amazing. the trust pizza is an experience and thestaffis friendly. i know people who drive miles out of their way to eat here. there really isn't another pizza like it.

love this place!!! if your looking for run of the "meal" pizza this isn't your place, but if your looking for outstanding food, terrific atmosphere, and quirky but awesomestaffthis is for you!!! you don't just eat at scratch you experience scratch!! just go in and order the "trust" pizza, sit back and relax to the sounds of vinyl being spun while you await the arrival of your brick oven piece of art!! enjoy!!

adult pizza. what a wonderful place. they have a record player and you get to choose the album to play for the dining room. quirky decor makes for interesting browsing while you're waiting for your pizza.

you can order three ways, trust, limited trust and build your own. one of the friendly cooks took time to explain to us the order process. with trust you take what you get. they decide what goes on your pizza based on what they think you will like. limited trusted you pick some ingredients you have to have and eliminate to toppings you don't want. they decided to add toppings they think will make it the best pizza. you build is just what it sounds like.

we picked our topping that included andouille sausage, smoked chicken and grannie smith apples. the crust was not too thick and the sauce was good. the pizza is served in a box and cut into squares. a good pie that was worth the calories.

the kitchen is open and in view of the dinning room. the wood fired oven is outside the house so even on a the hot day we visited you could feel the heat. the dinning room is oddly shaped with nooks and crannies and a little crowded. thestaffis friendly and helpful. parking is tight behind the building so find a spot on the street. if it's a nice day outside there are several uncovered picnic tables outside. boyb and enjoy the pizza.

scratchin' your head!. stopped in to this spot on the urbanspoon review.
very bizzare and interesting concept. be prepared to park on the street and walk a few feet. don't even try to park behind the shop, pretty dicey proposition.

the menu: one size pie, any and all toppings, one price!

the concept was quickly explained by the dread locked, rasta styled and friendly staff. a order of their pesto bread sticks were excellent with a fantastic homemade marinara dipping sauce. ice cold soda's in bottles or byob.
the order sheet has a option for a "trust" or "limited trust" option where you let the pie maker choose the toppings! a little too much trust for my liking, but the locals we talked to said it always seems to work out.

the dining room is a bit choppy and the rasta music (an old lp player in the main dining room) in our corner was blaring. a quick word with thestaffand they toned it down.
overall, very good pie!
i am glad we got there before the saturday night push. because of the wood oven, the pies were stacked on hold in the "outdoor, screened in patio" waiting for a turn in the oven. it could be quite a wait.

a real wood fired brick oven. they serve some remarkably good pizza, and they are usually very busy. the brick oven will give you a great "charred bottom" pizza, and the toppings selection is always fresh.

if you have to wait to pick up your pizza, there is usually a pizza for you to have a piece of, on the house. this gives you a chance to try toppings you might not get otherwise. look for the little table to the right of the cash register, across from the phonograph.

thestaffis very friendly, and the atmosphere is retro but clean. they also have some great baked desserts, and a few tasty sandwiches. there is a small parking lot, and usually lots of parking on the street.

great pizza! french crust was fabulous! like the working warehouse approach to dining in. vinyl kc sunshine blended with jazz on the hifi added much.staffwas great - "trust" them to make your pie the best... and hold on for the garlic fallout!
