Exlines' Best Pizza in Town - Whitehaven

Entering this dining experience with reservations rooted in past disappointments at Exlines, I was pleasantly surprised as the reality surpassed my preconceived notions. Contrary to my childhood memories where Exlines fell short in the pizza department, this visit was a revelation. The staff, a key element of any dining experience, proved to be exceptionally welcoming and helpful, contributing to an overall positive ambiance.Upon entering, I noted that half of the restaurant wasn't operational. However, this minor inconvenience was inconsequential, considering we were the sole patrons at the time. The ability to choose our seating added a touch of personalization to the dining experience.Although my initial intention was to indulge in Exlines' renowned BBQ nachos, fate led me to order a pizza and chicken tenders instead. The unavailability of some nacho ingredients became a blessing in disguise. Having experienced BBQ nachos in various places across Memphis, I can confidently assert that Exlines excels in this culinary domain.The restaurant's cleanliness and the option to select our preferred seating contributed to a comfortable and enjoyable environment. The culinary highlights were undoubtedly the pizza and chicken tenders--remarkably hot, fresh, and bursting with flavor. The pizza, adorned with an array of meats and vegetables, showcased a harmonious blend of textures and tastes.While the chicken tenders were commendably juicy, I couldn't help but wish for a variety of sauce-tossing options to elevate the experience further. Despite this minor consideration, the overall dining experience was exceptional, surpassing my expectations.In comparing this specific Exlines location to others previously visited, it clearly stood out as the epitome of excellence. The prospect of assigning a five-star rating to this establishment seems well-founded, and I anticipate returning to explore future culinary offerings. An intriguing thought involves engaging in a conversation with the manager or owner, driven by the belief that this establishment has the potential for culinary greatness.In conclusion, my visit to this Exlines location left an indelible impression, reshaping my perception and elevating the establishment beyond my initial expectations.

I read the reviews and even read the inspection violations (14 in total) and STILL gave the restaurant a chance! I'm visiting from out of town and ordered from my hotel using Uber Ears. I ordered the Exliner because it has my favorite pizza toppings and because of a previous yelp photo that makes this pizza look wonderful (it may have been that way at one time), but...It's just plain awful! I ordered two 7" Exliner pizzas because it was less expensive to do so than their 12". Uber Eats delivered it to me just fine, but when I opened the boxes what I found was burnt blobs. A pan-like looking pie that has no sauce, and if I wanted it well done I would have ordered extra crispy. I took a couple of bites of a slice and choked it down. I thought if I could eat the toppings maybe I could salvage my dinner. Nope. The photos shoe how the pie looks underneath the toppings, like a bad growth (no sauce). I immediately stopped eating, replaced the box lid and got on yelp. Their web description reads, "Memphis Style Pizza -- Exlines' Best Pizza in Town is a family restaurant serving Memphis style pizza since 1974". I do not believe the family who started Exline's in 1974 would be proud.

I made a yelp account specifically so no one had to experience what I did at this place. Without going into detail because this place is not worth my time...the people that work here are the rudest people I have met in my entire life. My pizza was burnt to a crisp. The managers response, "tough shit" Please don't let these people ruin your day.

Worst place for pizza we should've went to Lil Ceaser pizza or even chucky cheese pizza or even Walmart frozen pizza didnt even cut right or even cared didn't add extra sauce so dry very depressing will never spend my money here again best pizza in town in what town ??? Not memphis

I was recommended this "Iconic Memphis Pizza Restaurant" and it did not hold to its standard. I ordered delivery via UberEats; the cheese slid completely off my pizza as well as the additional 'extra cheese topping.' The dough was undercooked, too.Not a great experience for a first time customer. P.S. I order broccoli on my pizza, it was all frozen broccoli stems.

The strangest pizza ever. No sauce and you can just lift the toppings and separate the base and pizza- very dry. Lady behind the cashier very nice- Cindy and the ambiance not ok.

Cindy Cannon and Pizza Cook Tijeno were amazing!! Great customer service and good was amazing!!!! 5/5

First off I'm here for a DoorDash order that was supposed to be picked up 20 minutes after my arrival to the store. The white up front was extremely rude and the guy who looks like DMX seem to be completely clueless about what to put on the pizzas. It's ridiculous tbh. I suggest DoorDash take this place off the roster or at the very least this location

Slow as hell.... Inaccurate time on when food is done. After waiting 15 minutes I was told my food would be done in 5 minutes. 45 minutes later I was still waiting. Everyone had came and gone and I was still waiting. Terrible service . You will do better ordering pizza hut

I order the all meat pizza from Uber Eats and it arrived missing two of my favorite ingredients-bbq and kabolska sausage.
