If you're looking for a modern spot to try trendy, homemade pizza pies in Memphis, Tennessee, head to Aldo's Pizza Pies. This popular urban spot features industrial decor and cranks out a variety of delicious pies with toppings like truffle oil, vodka sauce, and BBQ sauce. You'll also find plenty of classic pizzas and other Italian favorites, like meatballs and garlic knots. The outdoor patio is perfect for a warm summer day — or a chilly winter one, as they screen in and heat this popular spot during the colder months.

Aldo's Pizza Pies draws a crowd at dinner time, especially on weekends. Because their pies are wood-fired and made from scratch, if you're planning to carry out, it's best to call ahead to place your order.

"My group of 5 girls shared a large the other side pizza and a medium pizza and we were all satisfied at the end. I love the vibe at this restaurant & our server was really kind & helpful. The Memphis pizza was great if you like BBQ. The other side was a white sauce based & was a fairly light pizza." -Yelp Review

1495 Union Ave, Memphis, TN 38104

Going head to head with Aldo's Pizza Pies as the favorite pizza joint among locals is Little Italy Midtown. While they both may serve up delicious pies, they couldn't be more different. Where Aldo's is urban and gives off industrial vibes, Little Italy Midtown is a classic family-owned Italian restaurant with laid-back, old-school vibes.

When you enter this small restaurant, the first thing that you'll see is the glass case, filled with delicious pizzas, strombolis, desserts like cannolis, and more. While there is only limited space for dining in, this restaurant is best known for its carryout and delivery. Order a steaming pizza delivered straight to your front door or hotel room while visiting Memphis.

"This place is a hidden gem! An authentic Italian restaurant with great food, less the pretentiousness of fine dining! First thing you see when you get in is the display case full of a variety of pizzas, Strombolis, and other types of Italian goodness." -Yelp Review

If you love Chicago-style deep-dish pizza, you know how tough it can be to find a good pie outside of Illinois. But if you're lucky enough to live in Memphis or find yourself passing through, East of Chicago does a great imitation of this cheesy, crispy crust pizza. Alongside deep dish pizzas, East of Chicago also offers plenty of classic pies, as well as baked subs, salads, wings, and plenty of appetizers. East of Chicago is a chain restaurant, but it's still a must-visit in Memphis if you don't have your own locally.

"My first visit to this carry out pizza was easy and pleasant. But I must say the medium pan pizza with extra cheese, and  veggies and two meats was amazing!!! It was two meals for me and the crust was sooogood..... I will certainly be back! Very reasonable also." -Yelp Review

477 High Point Ter, Memphis, TN 38122 (http://fpmw.us/highpointpizza901/)

Stepping into High Point Pizza is a bit like stepping back in time a decade or two. This classic pizza parlor may not have seen many makeovers in recent years, but this also means that they haven't changed their delicious recipes. This local favorite pizza spot is known for serving up filling, affordable pizzas topped with every classic topping you can think of. Also on the menu are plenty of late-night eats and comfort food, like wings, mozzarella sticks, garlic bread, and more. The restaurant even offers a muffuletta sandwich that diners rave is just as good as one you might find in New Orleans.

"This is my go to pizza joint in Memphis. The pizza is always fresh and the taste is always consistent. Aside from the pizza the muffuletta is the best in Memphis and taste just as good as any in New Orleans. There's also much more than the pizza with the wings, cheese sticks, and entrees the offer on certain days!" -Yelp Review

100 Peabody Pl, Ste 190, Memphis, TN 38103 (https://sillygoosememphis.com)

Step inside this swanky, darkly lit venue, and you might think that you're inside a flashy nightclub anywhere but Memphis.

Perfect for enjoying with a fancy drink or as a late-night snack, you can choose from a wide variety of toppings, including unique options like spicy honey, duck, shrimp, and more.

"5 star quality wood fired pizza! This is coming from a Chicago resident who not only knows a true Margherita Pizza from Naples, Italy, but the best Wood Fired Pizzas in Chicago as well. Yes, there is good deep dish in Chicago, we know that, but I prefer wood fired over a glutinous deep dish any day. Great job by a creative and friendly Pizzaiolo from LA!  Do NOT change a thing! BRAVISSIMO!" -Yelp Review
