Aldo's Pizza Pies - Downtown

Hubby loves pizza so of course we love places like this with their cool pizza names and unique pizza choices. You can get two pizzas combined into one as long as they have the same base sauce. We decided to do that and see which of the two we liked better. I liked the chicken one better while hubby liked the meatball one better. We noticed some of the other people's pizzas had cheese that didn't go all the way to the edges so we asked for extra cheese.I liked the Cheech and Bob because it was super unique. I really didn't like the meatball though because to me it had no taste. I even ate that one first because I knew the other one would have stronger flavors.I really like their meatball appetizer and would definitely get that. Also the meatballs were my favorite part of the pizza on the Mr. T-Rex.

Aldo's pizza... Really misnomer because Aldo no longer has anything to do with this place, sold it -- gone girl. That said just be prepared for a 40% surcharge on anything you order an eat there or take out. That's right, 40%. They tack on 20% because they say That certain patrons don't tip well, the other 20% is a surcharge for the cooks?? How about pay your employees?? They said that business is so sporadic in the downtown area that this is what they have to do. Wife and I got a couple of drinks and a small pizza (no extras) and the bill was $85 Just beware before you go what they are going to do to ya, we weren't !! HaHa, Aldo's gone anyway so I will never be back, he and his mom always oversaw the food quality. Not now

On November 1st, my daughter and I went to the downtown location tonight for our daddy/daughter weekly dinner. From the time we were seated until we unceremoniously left, the service was awful. The "server" assigned to our table took our order and that was the last we saw of her. She avoided our table and I had to call to get her attention to ask for the status of our food since it had been 30 minutes after placing our order. Once our food finally came out, I had to ask for someone to bring the Parmesan cheese when I witnessed other servers bring the cheese with their food. It got so bad that I left my table where my 3 year old child was to ask to speak to a manager. Lisa, the manager, immediately seemed uninterested in what I was saying. It made sense when she said that I was rude to our server who I never saw after our food came back. Not only did she proceed to blame me for all the bad service, she was unwilling to hold her server accountable.At that point, I became upset because she confirmed that my service was bad and didn't seem to care. Lisa said, "I have room full of happy customers". So my little money didn't matter in the grand scheme of things. I live 5 minutes away from Aldo and I've taken my daughter countless times. After my experience, I will never go back. My experience matters and my daughter's experience matters. I will not patronize any establishment that ignores me.

I've been here a few times. I like pizza a lot. The meatballs here are really good. I liked the Memphis BBQ but without the sauce on top. The TREX was also really good. The Otherside wasn't my thing. The Nutella Martini is the best. I loved it.

I had a lunch salad and it was perfect .. service is always on point .. the best staff and I love the patio and the bar in this restaurant.. cool place to hang and grab a beer and some food

The crust. The crust. THE CRUST!! The crust on this pizza is amazing. I honestly could have eaten a pizza sans toppings just so I could get the crust.Our server was very sweet and attentive. He was great.As for the ambiance, well, unless you like to be swarmed by mosquitos, DO NOT SIT OUTSIDE. They literally started swarming. I've never had so many mosquito bites as I have after sitting outside here. On my one ankle alone I had 100. (That isn't an exaggeration. I counted.) Definitely sit inside.We got hummus and 2 pizzas. The hummus was flavorless, so I'd skip that next time. The Button Man pizza was fine, but if you're naming a pizza after a button mushroom, I'd expect there to be more mushrooms on it. Overall, this one was just fine. The pizza with the goat cheese was much better. Basically, aside from the crust, it was just fine.

Pizza yum yummy my boys really enjoyed good food friendly staff In this visit a 12 inch cheese pizza with a full and tasty Greek salad onions tomato lettuce olives cucumber and more yummy Chill vibes and low chats here this day that is

We stumbled upon this after a failed dinner attempt a few streets over. Another happy accident. Self proclaimed as the best pizza in Memphis, they probably aren't too far off. We had the 12" hand tossed pizzas and the crust was exceptional! Awesome flavor and good blend of thin yet bready. The Gina was our favorite (goat cheese!). We were a little disappointed that the "button man" had a sad amount of mushrooms but it was still good.Skip the hummus. They serve it with pizza crust pita dippers which were amazing but the hummus was lacking in flavor and drowned in balsamic glaze. Proportionally it didn't work. Our server was nice. He seemed quite busy which didn't bother us as we were busy chatting away. Attentive and helpful even through the rush. We opted to sit outside which had a lovely street view. We watched the horse drawn carriages go by and enjoyed the twinkling lights up and down the street. BEWARE!!! The mosquitos are awful!!!! Once the sun went all the way down they were out BAD. We all came out covered in bites head to toe. Overall it was a good experience. Pricing was a little high but I suppose to be expected given downtown location.

I really enjoy their pizza. I love the vodka sauce. Highly recommend this as a pizza staple in Memphis

Truly not a "let's go out for pizza" guy.... Except for Aldo's. Usually if I'm craving pizza I'd just order in, but the vibe of Aldo's mixed with the incredible food makes this a great spot. Fantastic place to eat before/after a grizzlies game. Try the garlic knots!
