Tips from the community

Coletta’s is the city’s oldest operating Italian restaurant, opened in 1923. For nearly a century, this establishment has been beloved by Memphis locals. They’re well known for their pizza, and in the 1950’s jumped into Memphis’ barbecue game by offering a savory barbecue pizza. University of Tennessee students particularly love the restaurant as they have a second location on campus. The interior of their flagship establishment on South Parkway has a retro Italian-American flair with red checked tablecloths, arched doorways, and wood paneled walls.
