Left Sevierville headed back to the dealer ship in Knoxville to have a few things fine tuned on the Caravan. Dropped it off at 1pm then went into town to have some lunch at a highly recommended establishment known as the "Pizza Palace" which was featured on the food network show "Dinners, Drive-ins and Dives".
The Pizza Palace has been around for 50 years serving homemade spaghetti and meat sauce, hand-breaded onion rings, famous Greek salad and, of course, made-from-scratch pizza. This is a true drive-in with a few stools up against the wall inside if you choose not to eat in your car.
We went inside found some stools and placed our order. One medium pizza with sausage, mushrooms, pepperoncinis, green peppers and onions. An order of onion rings that where huge-you can order an 1/2 order and a Greek salad.
It was a feast and man it was good!!! The pizza was wonderful with a thin crust, the salad very tasty but the onion rings needed some seasoning. We highly recommend eating here when you are in the area. We watch the show and have talked about checking out the places that Guy recommends so this was a pleasant surprise when we got there to find out that the Pizza Palace was on his list.
Well we didn't get out of the dealership until 5:30pm so we just headed east on I40 to get across the mountains and then find a place to stay. The drive went well and the traffic was minimal so we kept going getting through the big cities with no problem. It's alot easier to go through a city at night then in morning rush hour traffic. It is not our plan to travel at night but we decided to keep on and then we found a Walmart at Oxford on Route15, stoped at 1:30am and slept for the night. Got up in the morning and drove less than an hour to our campground in VA.
