The food is really good, but the location is not what we expected at all. I'm not sure if it's a chain and that's part of the issue. Reading their website, we were expecting more of an actual restaurant and this is definitely not that. It's more of a fast food type setting, along the lines of MacAlisters or KFC - order at the counter and find a seat. The pizza was very good and good quality, and it was nice that we were able to order a beer. Staff was friendly too. It was good, but not what we'd thought it would be. read more

Came to grab takeout for superbowl Sunday . I ordered when I got there and my food came out within the 10 mins. Loved how helpful the lady who took my order was. The restaurant wasn't packed, had a lot of seating to eat inside, and TVs playing the game. The pizza was good, fresh ingredients, a bit burnt on the edges but didn't bother me. It gave it that wood brick oven taste. The wings did not have as much flavor as I wanted but still really good and cooked well. read more

Original review was ROTD 5/21/2014 Been here numerous times and tried a bunch of stuff. It's gloriously authentic, but I am too Americanized and ruin it by always ordering extra cheese. I do like the pizza here but it is a tad expensive so I only come for like a special treat. Hubby isn't as fond of the place either as pizza is pizza to him so he'd rather just get the cheap chain stuff. The Specialty Pizzas are the ones on the black board.

My boyfriend and I ordered our food Togo and was told it would be ready in 15-20 mins. We noticed people after we ordered started to get their food and realized that 35 mins had past and so we asked if our was ready, it wasn't and the employee wasn't sure when it would be ready. Our food took 45 minutes and my boyfriend's pizza was cold because it had been sitting out waiting for my pasta to be ready. This was our first and last time trying this place. read more

The pizza would had had great flavor if it wasn't raw in the middle. Great topping, looked great on top around the edges. But not enough sauce, not enough cheese, and not cooked at the right temperature. read more

Excellent pizzas, great ambience, friendly staff, food comes out quickly. Highly recommend. Also be sure to try the Pellegrino Italian sodas, delicious! My favorite is the blood orange "aranciata rossa". read more

This places makes me like pizza again, what a relief from most pizza places. We never wait longer than 10 mins for our food. Staff super friendly. read more

This place has gone down in ways. They still use the same quality ingredients but they are skimpy with them. You hardly get any sauce on your pizza. I got a margarita pizza this week. Only half the pieces had any basil on them hardly any sauce or cheese. I felt like I just had a piece of bread. My friend got pasta and hardly got any sauce as well. We split a caprese salad and got a tiny drizzle of balsamic oil on it. Not enough to even get the taste on much of the salad. I guess you have to bring your own balsamic and own warmed up sauce to have a decent meal now here. Very chintzy. I was disappointed because this place could be great. read more

Gosh the most incredible pizza I have ever tasted!!! I just love the salads too!!! And the lunch special rocks!!

Having tired of Costco's pizzas, I wanted some variety. I almost went to Little Ceasers but after doing a Yelp search I saw this place with pretty good reviews. I searched Google Maps for the menu prices from a month ago and it didn't look too bad. More expensive than what I usually get but I figure I'd splurge. But when I get there I notice the menu on the wall looked different. Hmmm. I really should've checked online at their web page because the updated prices are there. Pizza prices went up about $2-$3 average by the look of it. Rats. Oh well. I do appreciate that they are considerate enough to post current prices because a lot of places these days are just getting outright lazy and charge you more hoping you won't notice or care. The staff there looks like mostly high schoolers which I thought was great. Helping build the local youth is always nice to see. They were all attentive and very nice and pleasant too. A nice change from what I saw at McDonald's next door during lunch earlier in the day. They got a soda fountain and wine too. It looked like some imported beverages were available as well (photos uploaded). The inside was packed with folks so obviously it's popular on a Friday night. There's no designated seating area to wait for your pie. So I just took a seat anywhere. After I sat down, a white haired gentlemen came up to me and asked if I was a photographer. I said I was just Yelping. He said to go ahead and Yelp him. So I guessed he was the owner. He came back later to ask if I'd given him a 5 star review. I told him I hadn't tried the pie yet. He asked if I was a pizza snob. Yikes. I reassured him I wasn't by noting that I almost went to Little Ceasers and he laughed it off. He asked what I had ordered. I told him the Quattro Carni, although I almost ordered the one with anchovies because most of the places I usually go to don't have anchovies. He suggested next time that I order the La Stella if I like something a little spicy (the spicy meat is from Italy) or their pistachio pie if I like pistachios. I do like the fact that the owner was there working the floor. It's old school cool and IMO shows they care about their business. The pie came within a reasonable wait time. Parmesan cheese and red chili flakes are available to go. It only took 15 minutes to get home and the pie was still reasonably hot. I like the crust. It was soft. The pizza is of the thin variety. My first impression was it was salty. I guess it was because of all the meat? Or maybe it's just my age. Well, my father had a bite too and I didn't tell him I thought it was salty but the first thing out of his mouth was "wow that's salty". Well he's old too. But at least it wasn't just me. My kid has a slice but didn't complain though. Except she didn't like the tomato sauce. Well, other than being salty, it's flavor was good. Portion wise it was ok. I didn't see any signage about the size but I ate 3/4 of the pie myself and was comfortably full. My kid had 1 slice and my dad only 1 bite. 1 slice for the fridge. But the thing I didn't really care for is that all the toppings kept sliding off when I tried to separate a piece of the pie to eat, or when I tried to pick it up. I tried rolling it for a while and then found it was just easier to use a fork. I don't know why it kept doing that. Sometimes I've noticed that happens when a pizza is really hot but it wasn't like that piping hot by the time I got home. Yet it kept doing that even after it cooled off. Probably good for Keto followers as you don't have to exert any effort to remove all the crust. But for the rest of us it's just kinda annoying. Menu and some videos of the inside and pizza are uploaded. read more

Placed an order online, we got there and waited over 30 minutes for an order they told us would take 15. Sophia took our order the phone and did not add our dressing to the order, despite the fact that we ordered it, leaving us there another 15 minutes. I finally spoke up and the older gentleman working there said that the woman who rang us up never included that. The man went to the back and came out in less than five minutes with the dressing and handed it to us, yet still kept us there while he was speaking to Sophia. Afterwards he waved us away and said bye. Unprofessional and terrible experience. read more

Authentic Italian pizza, down to the Italian accent! Wood fired oven, thin crust, with a wide variety of quality ingredients toppings. I built my own pizza, with marinara sauce, artichoke, Kalamata olives, grilled red peppers and caramelized onions, paired up with a San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa (blood orange). I sealed the deal with a Cannoli! Good stuff. read more

I was fortunate enough to be rang up by the owner, Adrian. He was very passionate about his food, its history, and emphasized his philosophy on quality over quantity for ingredients and their sourcing. I had the La Stella after he asked if I've "ever had lemon on pizza"- I hadn't up til that point but let me say I was not prepared for the amazingly unique flavors this pizza provided. I have been to Italy- namely Rome, Naples, Sorrento, and Venice, and I can confidently say that Ciao Baby's (including Adrian) pizzas hold their own against some of my favorite places there, even in Naples. I only visited Ciao Baby once when I was in town visiting a friend, but, truthfully, I find myself still thinking about that La Stella pizza. read more

Pictures and reviews on yelp give this place to much credit. I ordered a spinach salad to start and it was good, exactly as described on the menu. I should have added onions. We ordered two pizzas, one margherita pizza and one Philly Cheesesteak pizza. Margherita pizza is a simple classic and should be light and fresh. This thing had no actual tomatoes, only sauce, and no fresh chunks of mozzarella. Everything was blended together with a few pieces of basil on top. A Totinos pizza could have given it a run for the money! Philly Cheesesteak pizza, gross Soggy from pouring mushroom juice from the can on the pizza before putting in the brick oven. read more

This is our favorite pizza restaurant. The staff are always friendly and the BEST Neapolitan style pizza around. Oh, and the hidden gem....is the sangria. read more

Food is unmatched in the area - lunch or casual dinner. They have a genuine Italian wood burning oven with Italian ingredients flown in from Italy to make it feel and taste like the real deal. Had a nice chat with the owner while there, who is usually found working the oven. Every pizza I've tried so far is delicious but I have to say my tops are the Philly steak one and the pistachio one. I hope they always stay in Collierville and would love to see them eventually move down to the square! read more

Got margarita pizza's and Greek salads for me and the family, both were delicious. Was so good went back the next day.

The best pizza I've ever had. I can't give it enough stars. I'll drive 45 miles to get here for this pizza. My favorite is the Meat pizza

Some of the best pizza in Memphis but the service needs help. Try calling at 7:45-8PM and you'll be ignored. If the boss isn't there workers are careless. Unfortunate. read more

Good napoleon style pizza. Dough temperatures can be a bit hit or miss (just right or under and doughy), but we always kill the whole pies. I wish they tossed the Cesar salad rather than serving dressing on the side. Staff is always friendly and the restaurant is clean. Solid place! read more

Our favorite Italian place in Collierville! Excellent pizza, pasta, and caprese salad! The pizza is as authentic as you will find, with excellent dough/crust baked at a very high temp in a wood-fired oven. The San Marzano tomato sauce is beyond great! read more

Absolute favorite pizza place in Memphis! If you have not tried Ciao Baby, I would highly recommend you stop reading this review, drive over to Ciao Baby, and try it for yourself! Ciao Baby is a Neapolitan style pizza place. What I love to order here is the 2 meats pizza (pictured) but would also recommend the margherita pizza. I would say the pizzas can be shared between 2 people but would recommend getting your own, especially if you are pretty hungry. The service is incredible as well. The owner is always very friendly asking his customers how they've been and explaining to new comers how he orders all his ingredients from Italy. Overall, definitely give this pizza place a try! I don't think you will regret it! read more
