    Greek salad, add ranch
    Scott S.

    Where to start. I was so impressed with this place. The vibe is so old school cozy pizzeria with the food to match. I started with a Greek salad which was crisp and fresh. I then had the small McKenna pizza which is porter peat pizza I've ever had! What a wonderful place. The staff was crazy nice and I just loved everything about it. It'll be a "always" when I'm in Memphis.

    Delicious!!! Flavorful! Crispy it checks all the yummy boxes!!

    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!

    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!

    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.

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....

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

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.
