Garibaldi’s Pizza

Already wrote a review for this place and it seems to have disappeared. Anyway, Garibaldis has pretty good pizza, pasta and salads. My parents used to take me here as a little kid. The location has been open for a long time. Food will be hot and fresh. They have a good lunch buffet.

Good choice for CHEAP LUNCH!
Review of Lunch Buffet:
I totally understand if you DO NOT eat buffets –but for those of us who are not afraid (or that smart) Garibaldis UM is a good pick.
For under $ 10, I got to choose from Chicken Tenders, Meat-​n-​Gravy (like Salisbury Steak?), Mashed Tatters, Salad (mixed greens in Italian dressing,) Green Beans, Spaghetti (standard, blah) Potato Salad (surprisingly some of the BEST potato salad I’ve had anywhere) … Oh, & some decent PIZZA!
Pretty good –but my lunch also included a DRINK!
I DIDN’T HAVE TO ORDER WATER to keep the price under $ 10!. And by drink, I mean some really good lemonade & tea choices included.
Atmosphere was good. Lots of UM Tiger Blue! At least 8 TVs in 2 large rooms. Jukebox with fun music playing. Some old arcade games.
Service is fast & friendly. Food was warm & fresh (I hate cold food!) And it appears to be clean.
Honestly, I couldn’t find a negative (grading it solely on a lunch buffet curve.)

Got the buffet for about ten dollars. Pizza quality was alright, but I liked that they had various options besides the pizza. The bbq chicken was particularly good. The main thing to get excited about is the buffet style pizza, and depending on how your intestines react to this alright-​quality pizza, that could actually be a negative experience.

Great pizza, clean facility, good service. College student hangout, popular with Univ of Memphis students.

Garibaldi’s is a must experience pizza for anyone. I’m biased because I’ve always lived near the UofM and it has always been a favorite. The only thing I don’t like are the onions because they use the same finely chopped onions they use for salads and they don’t work as well on pizza. But a pepperoni mushroom well done is seriously my favorite pizza of all time.

I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid. Great pizza and salads, but the best is coming to the lunch buffet. Great place to hang out and get a beer, but also has arcade games and is a good place to bring your kids. Also has a decked out room devoted to the Memphis Tigers in case you’re a University of Memphis (or Memphis State) fan.

Usually they are pretty hit or miss with me… But I will say they are more hit than miss! I’m not crazy about pizzas anymore because i don’t like thin crust anymore. I love their chicken Alfredo pasta though. I also like their salads. Noisy college atmosphere, which is cool and to be expected.
Usually, the people who answer the phones are nice and the prices are decent.

Best meatball sub I’ve found in town, I’m also a huge fan of there wings. I love having lunch here so I can play some pinball

The food is great. You can expect a level of quality from Garibaldi’s that far exceeds what any national chain could offer. The family that owns the restaurant «obviously» knows how to make people happy. Enjoy!

The place is a local legend, yet the legend is very outdated. Ordered the 10″ bbq pizza. It was served quickly and cut into 8 slices. There was not even bbq meat on each slice. We also ordered a hot Italian sandwich. The menu says hot or cold, they got it both right on our order. Hot on the edges, ice cold in center.
The overall appearance is a very dirty and the employees are unconcerned. Will not return.

This is a good «anytime» spot. I eat here regularly at lunch as well as order pizza and subs for take-​out or delivery. It’s fast, reasonably priced and yummy.
What it is NOT — it’s not Giardanos of Chicago, a wine bar, a fancy date place, pricey or quiet
What it IS — easy, yummy, fast, fun (they have pinball and Ms PacMan, can you really argue w that?) and very reasonably priced
I love this place and usually visit at least once a week, mostly for lunch. They have a rewards type punch card that you can use for the mini-​buffet and build up to a free buffet! Oh! And the buffet changes each day and doesn’t just include pizza (bbq baked chicken, chicken and dumplins, etc — each day has a special and it’s listed on a sign inside).
Just go there. Take a few friends and get your Ms. Pacman challenge on!

I was hoping to be more impressed.
Suffice it to say that if I was at home I am pretty sure I could have done as well out of MY freezer.
I felt dirty eating there and that says a lot since I’ve eaten at some sketchy places in Qatar while deployed.
My feeling is that they are living off their reputation from days gone by.

Hmmm. What to say, what to say…
I have fond memories of this place… mostly reminiscing about going here in high school and college with a group of friends. But it has been years since I’ve stopped by the brick and mortar. These days I just get delivery — because fast they are. Just this week they told me it would be 30 to 40 minute, but they were on my front door step in 20. Cha ching!
I enjoy their pizza and am always impressed by how ginormous and full of goodies the salads… puny they are most definitely not. And while I usually like my pizza crust a little thicker, this thin crust is just fine.
Another positive is they have Italian dishes (spaghetti, etc.) in case you’re not in the pizza mood. Memphis doesn’t have many places that deliver so they get major brownie points for that!

Foods usually good, had some bad experiences with the spaghetti being watery in the past, but other than that its a really nice place.

I haven’t eaten here in YEARS, and I can honestly say, back then it was really great pizza and service, and even today it’s still the same great service and food. Friend offered to meet me for lunch there Friday a couple weeks back and they do have a buffet until 2pm. Standard fare, although if you ask nicely, they will make a specialty pizza and put it out for you.

Whilr eating some bland pizza… a cockroach passes next to our wall. My friend got a bad order. and I hope it gets better. I really do.

Food was just bland…
Cashier doesn’t know the menu options
Buffet selections are a joke…

I love Garibaldi’s. I’ve been coming here for almost as long as it’s been open. Whether we are coming in for the Lunch Buffet or after a game to share a few pizzas this is the place I crave when I want the best Pepperoni Pizza in Memphis.
The buffet is great, lots of variety. I also think the Meatball Sub with Mozzarella is one of the best I’ve ever had. My wife loves the Chef Salad and they make the best Italian Dressing on the planet. All said I’ve never had a bad meal at Garibaldi’s and that’s saying something when you’ve been going to a place for around 30 years.

This pizza has a one of a kind taste its always cooked to order so that means hot and fresh each and every time. The staff are always nice & kind and in my book this pizza is the best pizza in Memphis. It wont hurt your budget which is nice because its around the way from the University of Memphis and tons of college students flock here to eat the pizza.

Garibaldi’s is a favorite among University of Memphis students. It’s cheap and delicious food, which makes it a staple in many dormrooms and college students’ stomachs. College was when I was first introduced to Garibaldi’s. It is not the best pizza in the world, but it’s a solid pie for a very reasonable price.
This particular experience with Garibaldi’s was on New Year’s Day. It was a day of recovery, and this place was one of the few establishments actually open. Not only were they open, but they delivered! Hot food. Fast. Cheap. and I did not even have to change out of my PJs. It was perfect.
I was not in the mood for pizza, but to my luck, they also have sandwiches and select appetizers as well. Scott and I ordered a feast. He got the Italian Supreme Sandwich. I got the Meatball Sub. We split an order of Toasted Ravioli and Italian Spinach.
I thought my sandwich was great. It definitely hit the spot. The meatballs were tender, and the bread was warm, toasted, and buttery. I would not give the marinara sauce five stars. It was a little too sweet, but it was a great mix with the savory meatballs and buttery bread. Scott said his sandwich was nothing special, but it was good. The toasted ravioli was average. it tasted like your standard toasted ravioli, with the same marinara that came on the meatball sub. I love toasted ravioli, though, so I ate it all.
The spinach is a good size and also yummy. We also each got a piece of cheesecake, which was also devoured before I had time to snap a photo. Scott ate the New York Style Cheesecake and I had a piece of Turtle Cheesecake. It tasted like your standard, store-​bought cheesecake. Nothing that knocked your socks off, but good enough to eat every bite.
The speed of delivery is spot on as well, and the delivery guys are very laid back and cool.
Overall, Garibaldi’s a solid restaurant. They have good food at a good price. The best part is that they deliver, so you do not even have to leave your house to get it. This is perfect for a lazy day.
