The Tastiest Pizza in Memphis

Paul's Pizza Palace

★★★★☆ 4.1 (15) • $

"Paul's has been a staple of Erin, TN for many years! I grew up eating Paul's, and it is a must-visit each time I come back to the farm with my family. Their pizza is my favorite, and I've enjoyed pizza all across the U.S. and the globe!Paul's aesthetic is what is expected from a small town pizza joint, and has a comfortable, local feel. The staff are friendly and chill, and you'll often find a family or two eating-in or some kids hanging out.The pizza is delicious! Delicious! It isn't exotic, and it isn't trendy. It's old fashioned American pizza, and has the best flavor of any pizza I've ever eaten!"

Pastaria

★★★★☆ 4 (503) • $$

"The Pastaria is always a must stop when we are in Nashville. The food is always fresh quick and delicious and if you're business trailer like I am and looking for somewhere good to eat with lots of variety I would pick pastaria. They are close to a local hotel and you can get it to go or sit and eat in the restaurant.Next time you want fresh delicious pasta, bread or salad that's quick and delicious stop here."

Fayzanos Pizza - Mt Juliet

★★★★☆ 4.4 (37) • $$

Sal’s Family Pizza of Brentwood

★★★★☆ 4 (248) • $

"Nice neighborhood chain pizza joint if you are looking for a laid back and casual place to enjoy some Italian fare. Dine in or to go. An extra bonus is the small bar in the back and TVs if you want to drop in for dinner and catch a game. The menu includes most of the popular Italian favorites. Pizza can be ordered by the slice or an entire pie. We shared a small Supreme pizza (yes, it's enough to share with 6 big slices) and a delicious fresh Greek salad. The service was friendly and fast. I walked in and ordered to go which took about 10 mins. The pizza - lots of cheese, a little tomato sauce, loads of yummy/ fresh veggies, piping hot and the most perfect crust I have ever tasted. I did notice others getting extra tomato sauce to go with their orders which I recommend if you like a lot of sauce. I highly recommend. You won't be disappointed."

BoomBozz Craft Pizza & Taphouse - East Nashville

★★★★☆ 3.5 (260) • $$

"5 stars for Carrie! The food was amazing, but the service was even better. If you have not been it's a must try for everyone!"

Tony's Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3 (12)

"Great service. Made to order food. Calzones are our favorite. No more buffets at the time. But a small little game place."

Milano's Pizza

★★★★★ 4.7 (29)

"I liked the large fresh chunks of Mushrooms, Onions, & Green Peppers on the Deluxe Pizza Pie (18" was $25.99) that I could actually get a bite of, as opposed to the tiny frozen mushy bits that some serve. They didn't skimp on the Canadian Bacon & Black Olives (most expensive ingredients) either. "New York style hand-tossed crust" was Ok, but not the best I've had. I will order Pizza from Milano's again & also try other menu items."

E Milano's Pizza House

★★★★☆ 3.8 (257) • $$

Papa Johns Pizza

★★☆☆☆ 1.9 (16) • $

"I was reluctant on ordering from another pizza delivery place after a bad experience at dominos. Needless to say I am not disappointed, the food was delivered quick, my driver was nice, and the food was very good. Will definitely be ordering from here again!"

Firebird's Sourdough Pizza & Gourmet Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.7 (26) • $

"This is just detailing the one and only experience here. Any fan of 'Married...With Children' that remembers the episode, 'Poppy's By the Tree', where they go on vacation in Dump Water, Florida will understand this experience a little better. (While on vacation the Bundy's are in a dive hotel, the sweaty cook comes out, picks at his armpit and Bud says, "I'll have a Coke. Unopened."). This diner building has been in this location for several years and there have been so many different people to have had ownership and put their own ideas and food selections here. It is a very high-traffic area being at one of the busiest intersections in Corinth (WalMart). The building is a bit hard to notice from a busy highway as it is just a really small (trailer-sized) building with rather dull paint color choices.  Our experience was within the first few days of opening and it was not a pleasant 45 minutes. It was a to-go order and the only other customers were seated at a large table, a group of 10, and all had their food. When seated at the tables you are not able to look into the kitchen/prep area, unlike standing at the counter waiting on a to-go order. The cook was sweaty and unkempt and not wearing a much needed hairnet as the fan blowing her hair would tell you. There were no gloves being worn by this person as she handled all aspects of the food prep, as well as her itchy and visible bug bites. The condiments (mayo in particular) were out in the open in a very hot environment.  This person did walk to the register (holding a burger wrapped in paper) and with an non-gloved hand rummaged through a box that held an assortment of clips and rubber bands until she fished out a toothpick and stuck it into the hamburger. Good news is, that wasn't our order. Bad news is, we still watched her prepare food. No hair net, no ponytail, no sleeves, no apron, no gloves and no clue about proper sanitary food prep.  I understand that this was a "grand opening" scenario and it may be a "family owned" business and all, but there is no way I'd eat the food after seeing how it was prepared. It was paid for in advance and had there not been such a shock factor in seeing the kitchen we would have just walked out. We did not eat any part of that food. I fed the cat the fries and I didn't even feed them the burger because of the open sores and sweat dripping onto the prep area. I broke it up and fed it to the outdoor critters.  Given, it has been a while since this day, they may have gotten a new and properly-trained cook and you may have a much more pleasant experience. I can't build the gumption to try again just yet. Knowing what I do, I could just see the cook and decide whether to dine in or walk out. I may give it a shot after the holiday is over. With my bad experience aside the variety of burger choices and combinations are pretty numerous and sound enticing. There are 20+ burger choices, chicken, hoagies and I'm sure new items are added throughout the months as they experiment with new flavors and combinations. Also, there are 15+ varieties of grilled cheese and macaroni and cheese as well. Hot dogs and smoked sausage pretty much makes up a menu that could please any meat-lover. Oh! and home fries! This is also a second location of the Summer Tyme Sno shaved ice, the other is the bright green building between Popeye's and Arby's.  The prices are very competitive and offer some lunch specials from $6.75-$8.50 and include a soup or fries and drink. I don't know if you can substitute fries on a soup day. The mac and cheese is made with at least 9 cheeses for $2.25 and $4.00. There is a "flavor town bite" that is a homemade cheese spread formed into a ball, double rolled in a combination of Panko, corn flakes and spices then deep fried.  There are catchy names like the Humpty Dumpty (2 eggs), Shotgun Willie (chili) and Dang it Boy (bacon). I have NO doubt that the food is great here because the burgers are made with fresh meat and not frozen patties. You can't get any more "comfort" food than a slew of cheese melted into macaroni noodles.  Yes, my one and only experience wasn't that great but I am not condemning the business as a whole. There are food laws in place to ensure you can get a meal prepared in a sanitary manner to prevent food-borne illnesses. Someone in that establishment must take a ServSafe test and prominently display that certificate, as well as, the food inspector's grade. I'm confident that with the amount of time that has passed since their Grand Opening--things in the kitchen/prep have changed."

Sadler's Classic Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (15) • $

"Great pizza! Finished the meal with housemade cannoli. The food is great. Service was excellent. Dive bar atmosphere. Good local place. I would recommend."

Pete & Sam's Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (215) • $$

"Pretty cool decor lots of Elvis items on the wall. The service was cool as the server was able to accommodate a very large group so kudos to the server. Unfortunately, I wasn't pleased with the food at all. Sorry to say that the food was very basic. The meatball sandwich was very mid the meatballs were dense and not very flavorful. The mini side pizza was a very unique option and the caramelized onions were good, but again basic. Keep in mind they are pricy but for me the quality just isn't there nor worth the price. Overall it was just okay."

Torino's Greek & Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (124) • $$

Rafael's Italian Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (43)

"Food is good and prices are great! Whenever I crave pizza, but don't feel like gobbling up a regular size pizza, this is the place I go to. Their personal pizzas are perfectly sized and priced well. They are made well too. I tried their spaghetti with meatballs and tilapia dinner which are well cooked and delicious! Their baklava is kinda stiff, but a good portion for the price. Warm it up in the microwave for 20 secs and it is better than eating cold."

Pizza Perfect Bellevue

★★★★☆ 4.2 (191) • $$

Nonni's NY Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"Do you have your choice of a small which is 16 inch and a large which is 20 inches we got the large width pepperoni sausage, onion mushroom, black olives, extra cheese and it was delicious. We will definitely be back."

Emeralds Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (33) • $$

"TRIPLE TO RIGHT TO DRIVE IN TWO RUNS!!This place hits the spot. I stopped by here while traveling through this part of the state on my way back to Memphis. A woman at the board of education recommended it and I was not disappointed. I had the special: grilled chicken sweet chili wrap with a side of green beans. The wrap was delicious with a great savory flavor accentuated by the sweet bit of chili sauce. The beans were well-seasoned and cooked just right with bacon flavoring. The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was fun and lively. I will definitely be back."

Moustos Pasta Grill

★★★★☆ 3.6 (8)

"Expensive but great food! The steak is also good. That bowl of salad is fantastic. I love most of their pasta dishes. They have a bar to eat at our enjoy a beverage or two!"

Slim and Husky's Pizza

★★★★☆ 4 (133) • $$

"Food: This restaurant offers pizza (there are some gluten free and some vegan options), wings, 2 salad options, cinnamon rolls, and various beverages. I dined inside this place on a Friday in August with my husband. It was our first time there, but I immediately noticed how clean it was inside. The artwork on the walls were nice as well. My husband and I each had Build Your Own (BYO) pizzas with our preferred toppings. They have a few topping options and protein options that all both appeared and tasted fresh. We opted to have their garlic sauce with our pizzas as well. The following Saturday, my husband had to fly out early for a business trip, so I chose to have lunch at this restaurant again. I chose the BYO pizza again with different toppings and it all tasted just as great as the pie that I had on Friday.Service: Not much to judge here as it can be very much 'self-serve' ish. On my first trip here with my husband, we didn't realize that there were tablets at the entrance for ordering, so we went right up to pizza making area. The employee welcomed us and shared that we could order at the entrance on the tablets, but she also had no problem making our pizzas right then and there. We decided to just have her make them on the spot and she kindly did so then rang up the order. On my second visit, an employee immediately welcomed me coming in and I used a tablet to order my pie. It was easy and I was able to pay at the tablet. I sat down and waited and was informed when my pizza was ready. Value: $10-$20 per meal. The price of your pizza could increase based on your toppings (I.e. I paid extra because I wanted both chicken and shrimp on my pie.) Bottled drinks such as Pepsi or Mt. Dew are $3 each. They also make a strawberry lemonade for $5 per cup. My husband and I paid .50 cents each for two empty cups to have a cup of water. Ambiance: very clean inside, decent sized private parking lot, separate take-out entrance that a lot of people don't seem to notice, R&B or rap music playing, outdoor eating area, and interior walls aligned with artwork. Location: 634 Union Ave. (not very far from downtown area of Memphis, TN)Offer take-out, dine-in, catering, outdoor seating, and delivery via third party services."

Fox Ridge Pizza Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (157) • $$

"Food was good service was A++ wings was fresh fried hard and had a good taste.you guys will see us again soon."

Little Chicago

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (312) • $$

"We ordered pizza and wings from here a few times while staying close by on Music Square. It's a great spot that offers delivery, perfect for enjoying by the pool, satisfying late-night cravings, or watching a movie! The pizza was good with no issues, and the wings were extra crispy, which is always a plus!We passed by it a few times, and it looks like a traditional pizzeria shop, very well kept inside. I did see some reviews mentioning issues with the deep dish, but we didn't order those, so I can't comment. Overall, I would definitely order from here again!Regarding Yelp, I recently had my Elite status removed after 8 years because I'm a business owner. Despite not being related or affiliated with any food businesses--only a local real estate office in NY--Yelp managers believe a business owner shouldn't be an Elite reviewer. In my opinion, being a business owner shouldn't disqualify someone from providing honest and fair reviews of unrelated businesses. My reviews are meant to be helpful and honest, and I believe that shouldn't affect my Elite status."

The Crusty Pig

★★★☆☆ 3 (4)

"Food and service were very good. Glad to have a downtown pizza place. Great atmosphere too to watch games !"

Villa Castrioti

★★★★☆ 3.9 (154) • $$

"Love Italian food so we decided to have dinner at VC. As usual, the staff was friendly and the service was great. The bar area was packed (live music)) so we sat in the dining area. We had the giant mozzarella sticks and I had the Veal with mushroom risotto. The veal was pure perfection but the risotto was just okay. The risotto was missing something along with salt."

Luigi's City Pizza

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (476) • $$

"Got the Luigi's City Special pizza and it was pretty good. Good sized pizza and the $29 price actually isn't too bad. Decent taste on the pizza, but did wish there were a few more toppings on there.My buddies got some salads and they said it was pretty good. It did look like they didn't skimp on the toppings for the salads.Kind of dark in there, but it is pretty cozy and a decent atmosphere to sit down and enjoy some pizza."

Tellini's Italiano

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (25) • $$

"Tellini's Italiano is a decent place with good prices and a friendly staff. The food is good and the price point is very good.Typical chain restaurant type ambiance and it was an overall positive experience."

Lenny's at Reed Brothers

★★★★☆ 3.6 (5)

"This my friends, is a classic "hidden gem". You probably wouldn't know it's a restaurant from driving by, that is, if you even were to randomly drive by this place, it's literally kind of hidden. No, the outside isn't much to look at, but it's what's on the inside that counts anyways. Great service, great prices, and even better food. I can't say enough good things about Lenny's. My family and I have visited Lenny's twice and have sampled most of the menu in those two trips. Everything is fantastic. Everything is made from scratch and is a plentiful portion. You will NOT leave this place hungry or unsatisfied. I will drop all the photos of food with their names on this review. My photos won't do it justice, but at least I've tried. We ordered the fried mushrooms to start. They were excellent. Sometimes fries mushrooms are slimy on the inside and you instantly regret your decision, but these were piping hot and FRESH. My dad got a ribeye that was huge and looked delicious. Mom got a BBQ sandwich topped with homemade slaw. And my brother ordered the fish tacos, that'll be what I try next time. My favorite so far is their specialty chicken (grilled chicken with onions, mushrooms, bell peppers, covered in mozzarella) and their bbq nachos (HUGE portion, I will share a picture)! Wow. So good. So go see for yourself and give Lenny's a try. It'll be your new go to family night too!"

Valle’s Italian Rebel

★★★★☆ 4.1 (40) • $

"Cute little hole in the wall Italian place serving Pizza, Sandwiches, and pasta. Order at the counter, with pretty quick service. I had the meatball sub and it was good. It came with chips and a drink for under 10 dollars which is hard to beat. The food is simple and good though not necessarily amazing. They have great combos for under ten dollars, but they are easy to miss on the menu so you have to be thorough when you look. Staff was very friendly and it had that family business feeling which is always nice. It is somewhere I would definitely come back to during lunch with some coworkers. Good food, great price!"

Lost Pizza Co

★★★★☆ 3.5 (123) • $$

"The pizza was OK. It wasn't really anything to write home about but if you're craving pizza it'll fix your craving."

Exlines' Best Pizza in Town - Kirby

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (61) • $$

"I have been eating at Exlines for decades. This particular location has not be open for that many years but they make the same great pizzas. Exlines use premium ingredients and loads up on toppings. They also have great salads and wings. You can't go wrong here."

Lance's Pizza & Subs Dover

★★★★☆ 3.7 (12) • $

"Always great pizza and subs. I am not a salad person so can't say much on that. Orders are always ready on time and staff is friendly."

Nonna Maria

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (9)

"Used to be Milano's but the same quality and care go into the food. I think there may have been a situation where the ownership stayed the same, but the name "had to change." At any rate, the crust is still freshly made and oven baked. I wholly recommend the eggplant parm pizza, the cannoli, the salad, and the sandwiches. Everything is terrific!"

Buon Appetito

★★★★☆ 3.7 (7)

"This place was INCREDIBLE! A true treat for anyone who likes pizza and mediterranian food. The atmosphere is nice and fancy. The staff was super friendly and nice. They uber eats!"

Rock'n Dough Pizza + Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (216) • $$

"Came here on the recommendation of someone, the food and beer are really nice, but the place was fairly dirty. Literally, there were fries, cup lids, napkins and cheese on the floor. If it had been busy, ok, but it wasn't crowded and easy to sweep up.Food-wise, great. Beer, you bet. If the front of the house is this dirty though, what does the back of the house look like? Gives me sanitation concerns, and the flies we saw around hang out to chow down. Waitress was very nice though."

Woody's

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (26) • $$

"When I'm craving pizza, this is the place I go! It's close. It's good. I buy a few days worth of pizza. Great heated or cold. Great for all types of weather too. You should give it a sit down try or order to go!"

Four Brothers Wood-Fired Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.4 (167) • $$

"We decided to get four 10 inch pizzas so we could try several different pies.We had a cow with wings, a margarita, a Hawaiian with caramelized onions and their version of a supreme. We got cauliflower crust on the supreme.All of the pies were good. Fresh ingredients and great crust. The Cauliflower crust was good as well.The favorites were the cow with wings and the Hawaiian.This is a small place in a strip mall so it is just a simple pizza place. It is clean and neat with an open kitchen where they put the pies together. The service was good and the people were friendly.This is a good choice if you like NY Style pizza."
