My son wanted to grab a slice of pizza as we walked passed Aldo's, but we all decided on having dinner here instead. We ordered a large 18 inch pepperoni pizza for only 21 bucks. Not only was it a great price, but the pie itself was delicious. It was New York style thin crust, which was done very well. The service here was awesome. Our server brought some pizza dough for my son to play with before our food came out. Great vibes all around at Aldo's and most importantly, great pizza! read more

The starters, salad, and Panini's look as good as the pizza here. I ordered the figgy piggy Panini with pears, prosciutto, brie, and fig jam. My husband ordered the grandmother sandwich a meatball Parmesan hero. We're sharing each because it's so difficult to choose. Lunch was tasty, portions generous & prices reasonable. A 20% gratuity was added to our bill. read more

This was the best pizza we have had in a while. And all we got was a cheese pizza with Vodka sauce. The vodka sauce was the highlight of our whole visit. We started with fluffy garlic knots that were perfectly garlicky and came with a marinara and vodka sauce. We loved the vodka sauce so much we ended up with the vodka pizza as well. It was delicious. Kari, our server was so nice, and we enjoyed talking with her during our visit. The restaurant itself had great vibes. It wasn't loud or rowdy, and was the perfect pause in the middle of our dance competition day. read more

Pizza was so good. Sitting outside was fun. We got half and half and that was no problem. Great service. read more

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.

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. read more

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 read more

Great location, nice vibe, and good food everytime! Service is a little slow around lunch as with most downtown places, so it's best to pay when they bring you your food. And for what you pay in gratuity for take out, you may as well sit down. read more

The pizza here is good and they have a $6 slice + drink lunch special. But their calzone? MILESSSSS better than the pizza. I got a calzone with the rustic pepperoni and it was so delicious. The cheese was creamy, the dough was flavorful and the marinara sauce was well seasoned. I added a few red pepper flakes for a little heat to counteract the cheese and it was the perfect addition. It's too big to eat in one setting so you'll have a little leftover. The staff is friendly and the restaurant is cozy with large windows facing Main Street. read more

Really nice restaurant, interesting selection of pies. We built our own...ricotta, meatball, pepperoni, and red pepper. It was pretty good. The pepperoni could be sliced a touch thinner, and the meatballs definitely could just be sliced! Instead of chunks. It's a little dough-y. But overall not bad. I'm from Brooklyn so I know what really good pizza is and this certainly isn't great pizza. But definitely fine. And the waitstaff couldn't be nicer. read more

We used Doordash for delivery and the pizza was wonderful. We ordered a 12" T Rex and 12"Margherita thy were so flavorful. We loved the chewy crust with abundance of toppings. read more

My first time here and it was definitely worth it. Pizza was not my first choice for a meal today, but this was so worth it. I created my own pizza with Italian sausage, bacon, jalapeños, and sun-dried tomatoes. It was awesome. It was off peak hours, but the service was excellent and fast. This is great place to hang out with friends with a full bar. I also loved the 80's themed music. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I used to be a common customer. I would take the bus out and enjoy eating on the Main Street mall since outdoor seating is cute. However the restaurant has betrayed Memphis and my stomach. So many people struggling but we don't get a free slice. The national guard comes and they get pizza cheap. I will be taking my money to Tambolis or Geribaldi's. read more

Aldo's Pizza Pies is a great destination for pizza if you are in Memphis, Tennessee and craving this culinary favorite. Pizza is a favorite for many and I have to say that I am pretty particular about my pizza. I grew up in New Jersey and I always took it for granted that New Jersey had great pizza on pretty much every corner. When I moved down south back in 2001, I was both shocked and more than a little dismayed to find that good pizza, not even great pizza, was not available on every corner. In fact, good pizza might not even be found in a town or city. So, when you find good pizza, it is indeed cause for celebration and what better way to celebrate than with a slice of pizza in hand. Aldo's Pizza Pies has a great vibe and is definitely a great place to chill and enjoy some pizza. The staff is friendly and the food is good. read more

Hubby and I recently had date night and ended up here after a Grizz game. When we arrived, it wasn't very busy but soon picked up so I think we arrived right on time. Good amount of seating and the place was clean. Tiffany was our server and she took excellent care of us. As far as food, we skipped appetizers and just ordered two pizzas. I got the 12" "The Memphis" (barbecue sauce, pulled pork, red onion, slaw) and added jalapeños. Hubby did the build your own 12" with pepperoni, mushrooms and green peppers. I wanted to try something different since I usually only eat "traditional" pizza. "The Memphis" was honestly very good to me! I was glad I ordered it and will likely order it again the next time we dine here. I tasted hubby's pizza and it was yummy as well. It was the crust that did it for me. The pizzas were a lot to finish for us, so naturally we had leftovers. The leftovers held up nicely and were still good the next day. Pizzas are a little on the expensive side and 20% gratuity is automatically added to all checks, but it's safe to say we enjoyed ourselves and the food and will likely be back. read more

I was hesitant to order here because of the star rating, but I'm so glad I took the chance! We ordered carry out to eat in our room at the Peabody. It's just a short walk down the alley which was great. The folks in Aldo's are super nice. They asked if we needed plates and napkins and put everything in a bag so it was easy to carry back. The pizza, salads and garlic knots were all delicious. I highly recommend splurging on the vodka sauce for your knots. read more

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! read more

Ordered a 12 inch pepperoni and cheese to go - very good! Loved watching them cook it too since we were taking it home. Crust was sooooo good. Hostess was a gem and made our wait nice since she talked with us. We originally went in for a slice of pizza but not going to lie, looked like they hadn't changed out the pies in hours so we just opted for a whole pizza. Forgot to take pictures! read more

Aldo's Pizza Pies - Downtown - Garlic knots - Pizza Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

First stop in Memphis! Lured in by good reviews and the different topics offered. Since we were going to have a BBQ dinner, I opted for a slice and shared garlic knots. The garlic knots- served in a set of 4. They are a decent size and the garlic oil glazed on and in the bowl... delicious! The dipping sauce was ok. The pizza- I went with vodka. Never had a vodka sauce pizza before. Reality talk her. The pizza had no flop (Portnoy would appreciate.) It wasn't greasy. Decent size. Great balance of sauce to cheese ratio. Where it flopped- the vodka sauce brought nothing extra to this experience. It didn't take away either. I felt as though I was eating a regular cheese pizza. Disappointed I didn't get hit with that vodka sauce flavor I enjoy so much. Would I eat here again? Yes. Would I get the vodka pizza? No. There are plenty of other option's at Aldo's. read more

Good food hides many sins, and the pizza here is quite good. They've got good ovens, and the bread is nice. I had a Truffle-themed pizza, and the mushroom cream sauce was a solid A+. But the service... bad bad. Like, "really??" bad. Your food is good. Get your house in order. read more

Automatically 20% gratuity no matter the level of service you receive. We paid it and they had only one waitress for the whole restaurant so it was very slow service. Pizza was fine and salads ok. read more

Truffle mushroom pizza, $19 for a 12 inch pizza, was amazing! But be aware the patio is rather noisy and tonight anyway was smoky, both weed and cigarettes. I was seated next to the alley under a speaker, and between the music, motorcycles, and folks out on Main Street smoking and shouting, it was loud and smoky! But service was really good and the pizza was incredibly delicious! I'd go back for take-out, for sure. Oh, not sure if this is customary, but I didn't get a plate? Ate off a paper towel. read more

The pizza was great. They were attentive to my children. They also knew their beer . Great recommendation to replace budlite.

Good pizza. Great taste. Call in in advance, otherwise there is about 30 Minutes wait

This was a cute place, and our server was attentive. The salad was so so with dressing that tasted like Kraft. The pizza was good, but not the best we've ever had. The dough and sauce were very fresh. The nice thing was that they could do half and half pizza. The calzone was new on the menu and needed perfecting. It wasn't cooked all the way and very greasy. read more

In Memphis for work but not in the mood for another plate of ribs -- what a quandary. "Pizza near me" [in downtown Memphis] offered some chain pie (not for me) and Aldo's Pizza Pies with a solid 4 star standard. Thank you, Memphian Yelpers, I wholeheartedly concur. I'm going to change the subject for a moment to nominate Memphians as the friendliest people in the U.S. Hotel staff, servers, and City Hall personnel -- y'all are sweet people! So, it is no surprise that Aldo's host greeted us warmly, and seated us immediately. I zeroed in on "The Lombardi- Aldo's favorite" Eighteen inches of fresh crust topped with tomato sauce, Aldo's four cheese blend, meatballs, and ricotta. Five cheeses and meatballs? The waitress, a transplant from New Jersey who has fully embraced the friendly customs of Memphis, offered freshly grated parmigiana to top it off. Six cheeses and meatballs? YES, we want all the cheeses! Aldo's also offers a terrific selection of beers from which I chose a Belgian wheat beer straight from the tap, aptly served an orange slice. My only negative comment is a common complaint-- I believe that the music was too loud for the space. Thank you, Aldo's. Thank you, Memphis. read more

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. read more

Food- 4/5 Service- 4/5 Ambiance- 4/5 Visiting the area and lots of places were closed. Decent spot in the area. Our waitress was very polite with lots of personality. However, I had an issue with my drink and she couldn't take it back or exchange for another (not her fault) . Garlic knots were a little on the hard side, but still delicious. The vodka pizza was ok. We did a lot with our pizza (vodka with extra sauce - half pepperoni, half chicken) . If you're going to go, this place is probably best for simple cheese and pepperoni pizza. They have a lot of variety but it's better to keep it simple. read more
