Aldo's brings New York influenced pies to a lively Downtown corner, with foldable slices, whole pizzas, sandwiches, and beer. The vodka sauce pie offers a creamy contrast to a classic red sauce order, while meatball and garlic heavy combinations show the kitchen's more robust side. Sit near the windows for the Main Street energy or take a slice to go.

Memphis Pizza Cafe serves thin, crisp local pies from its Madison Avenue shop, the selected identity for a four location concept. The crust stays light enough to support several toppings without becoming heavy, and the menu offers familiar combinations alongside build your own choices. A whole pie suits a table, while slices make the Midtown location useful for a quicker neighborhood meal.

Hog & Hominy filters wood fired pizza through the Italian and Southern instincts of chefs Andrew Ticer and Michael Hudman. Blistered crusts carry combinations that may include local pork, seasonal vegetables, or assertive cheese. Share a pie alongside snacks and a vegetable dish rather than treating it as a standalone pizzeria order; the menu is designed for a table to explore together.

Little Italy Midtown keeps the neighborhood slice shop format alive on Union Avenue. Large New York style slices, calzones, stromboli, and pasta make it useful for both a quick counter visit and a larger takeout order. Start with a plain cheese or pepperoni slice to judge the crust and sauce, then branch into one of the shop's heavier specialty combinations.

Coletta's connects Memphis pizza history with the city's barbecue identity through a family restaurant that has served Italian American food for generations. The barbecue pizza is the defining order, placing smoked pork and sauce on a traditional pie. Red sauce pasta and other classics complete the old school dining room experience, but the Memphis specific pizza should anchor a first visit.
