Delicious!!! Flavorful! Crispy it checks all the yummy boxes!!
Isabella D.

The pizza was delicious and flavorful! The service was good, and the ambiance was quiet. I love it! It's a must-repeat on my list!

Greek salad
Talia P.

Service is great!! Super nice team. Always welcoming and hospitable. I ordered a sub to accompany my salad, but ate it and forgot to take a photo. But I will definitely come back and we'll share more images! The Greek salad is "chef kiss" delicious!! There's something special in that Italian dressing that just makes it taste even better. All the vegetables are fresh and crisp. I love the downtown location. You must visit!

Pepperoni pizza
Rod E.

As a pizza expert I know a thing or two cause I've seen a thing or two. They do a lot of things right at little Italy. Great char love a crispy slice. Flavor is pretty decent. I'll go 8/10 decent slice

Grandma's pizza was very burned.

We ordered delivery during our visit to Memphis. What a disappointment. We ordered 2 pizzas. Both were burned. We ordered a sub also burned. The pesto pasta was bland and they forgot the chicken.

Medium half cheese, half mushroom. Delicious!
Nate M.

If you're a fan of NY style pie, this place is legit! Great crust, great sauce, everything was portioned perfectly, delicious! I stopped in for a late lunch and loved it. Will return.

We always stop here on our way through Memphis. We have always loved it. They have changed owners and it's not the same. Not planning to go back.

Fresh moz

First time visiting on a Friday afternoon for lunch. I had heard about them for a long time but…read moredistance and parking has kept me away. I happened to be in the area so distance didn't factor. There were 2 parking spaces available when I arrived....success!!! There is a kiosk for you to order from. I would have preferred to order with a person - but ok. Placed my order and could watch them make my food. I ordered a slim pizza and a cinnamon roll. (Pizzas are ordered by size. Slim is a smaller pizza and husky is a larger size). My pizza came out hot and fresh. Sauce to meat and cheese ration was great. I really did like the pizza. Now I am a cinnamon roll aficionado. So there was a high standard to meet here. Unfortunately, they fell very short with the cinnamon roll. It was not fresh and seemed to have been microwaved. It was hard on top and gummy throughout. I asked for a different one. One that was fresh. They were happy to accommodate. Unfortunately, the fresher one was the same way. So the cinnamon roll was a 1 out of 10. But, the pizza was an 8.5 out of 10. Go for the pizza....

The service was a bit of an issue with how to work the monitor and a coupon code. The one employee I asked didn't know how to help. After a while the young man on the register came over to help and explained everything. (Thanks!) It was a cool little spot. The music was good and so was the food. They are individual pizzas so we were all able to get what we wanted. I couldn't finish mine. The crust is good and so was the garlic butter they gave me for dipping. We are adding this to our Memphis list. My husband who doesn't eat pork loved the beef pepperoni and chicken sausage on his pizza. It was a great touch.

Some of y'all know I'm a downtown girlie now so it's hard to leave my area to try new restaurants…read more Yes I'm lazy now. If I can't walk to the place I'm probably not going So when I saw this new lounge and the concept is gourmet hot wings I was immediately intrigued! Y'all know how I feel about my wings. Babyy imma let y'all know that @wingmanrestaurant is about to change the game. 1. They open till 4am on weekends 2. The vibes are immaculate 3. They don't just serve regular hot wings. They are East and West African inspired gourmet hot wings. 4. You don't have to ask them to be fried hard cause they already come out that way 5. And they have hookah which is a 10/10 The owner John hospitality was literally a 10/10. Him being the only worker he made it a point to check on everybody through the night and make sure everybody is good. They are still in the opening stages so don't be going in there acting a fool cause I know how y'all get but def go check out the food.

She was extremely pleasant and welcoming. The portions are massive and the flavor intense. Jacob got the salad which had way more on it than explained. He loved it. I got the truffle sandwich and it was absolutely the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. It had two giant fried tenders on it which were juicy and crispy with their amazing wingman sauce. It also had a truffle aioli that was subtle but definitely delicious. The fries are season and crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside. We got the wingman platter. For the love of God this was incredible. The wings were juicy as well as nicely crispy. The flavors, now here's where they hit. There was a honey mustard, wingman, lemon pepper and a type of jerk curry. Well let's say this, I NEVER dipped. Not once. The seasoning on every one of these was magnificent. The curry was my favorite. It had a unique flavor with a kick. Best wings Ever!!! The place earns its name. We also had the rolls which were spicy and flavorful. Wouldn't pass on those either. This place deserves more than 5 stars. If you're looking for fried chicken or wings DON'T MISS this place. I am ruined now, because I will forever want this food every time I want fried chicken. Damn that chicken sandwich...damn you!!! lol

Such a unique atmosphere! Chess club that also doubles as a coffee shop!…read more I went in on a Thursday morning and they weren't too busy. I ordered an iced latte to go. The sizes are big! The coffee was very smooth and tasty. Prices are reasonable. They did seem to have some food options but I did not peruse the food menu much. The barista made my drink quickly and kindly. This spot seems like a great place to play chess (or other games for that matter) or to socialize. They do offer alcoholic drinks as well.

We asked the concierge and she suggested two options of coffee shop and chess club. My granddaughter decided on chess club. When you first walked in the door, it's a nice cozy, rustic floor, wooden floor, and nice artifacts everywhere and the tables were amazing cause they were designed for chess players. There were some nice sitting comfort chairs and everything looked very historic like the Memphis area. They had an array of sandwiches and salads and pizza and coffees and desserts with the cookies and the brownies. If you just want to curl up and read a good book and have a snack, this is the best place. The service was fantastic. They were very accommodating and very patient with our incisions with all the fantastic choices they provided. Well, I ordered the delicious chicken sandwich and my granddaughter ordered the Smashburger. She ate that burger so fast I was still working on the lettuce. LOL the food was delicious. She ordered a brownie, and I had a chocolate chip cookie and they tasted homemade. She would barely give me a piece of her brownie to taste. So if you're looking for a very good relaxing, caring, engaging, aesthetically, pleasing, and great customer service. Even if you're not eating and you just wanna play chess or cards or any of the other games or books that they had available. Just come take a break and enjoy. I will be back when I'm in Memphis again.
