There is one currently being built in my town and I had never heard of it before. A friend said there was one in Memphis. How does their pizza taste? Is it cheap? Do they deliver?
Their website has my favorite pizza on their front page, so I'm pleased so far.
Thanks friends.
You will like. They are a chain like Pizza Hut or Papa John's. Good pizza, variety of crusts. The small town I went to college in had one with Sunday night buffet night. They aren't in business anymore.
They used to be second banana to Pizza Hut before Papa John's but closed down their locations at some point.
As Dr. Seuss would say, try it, try it!
I used to work at Godfather's when I was in high school. That was back in the 80s. There was one at what was once called Park Place Mall and another at the big shopping center at the southwest corner of Hickory Hill and Winchester. There's not one in Memphis anymore.
When we went to Walt Disney World back in April I made a point of going to the nearby Godfather's to get a pizza. It was as good as I remember.
One day I'm going to make a run to Forest City to get one.
Definitely try it. You'll like it.
We were coming back from my wife's parents in PA on I-81 and saw a Godfather's. We stopped and placed the order and took it with us for the drive home. It was worth the wait, but not the drive.
Unfortunately it's TW's favorite pizza and he has a huge stake in the company. So if you eat there, you will actually be supporting him.
Hehe j/k.
I grew up in the Hickory Hood and Godfather's Pizza on Winchestah was a staple. Very good pizza.
They had good pasta too.
Pretty good pizza but I think they have been out of the Memphis market for at least 13 or so years.
On the subject of Pizza in Memphis. I like Exline's but occasionally crave a pie from Broadway Pizza. It takes a special trip and I usually try to go before it gets dark, but it's the most loaded down pizza I've ever had. Anybody else go to Broadway?
Why that guy hasn't opened a location out east, I'll never know. OK so he's lazy, then franchise it to someone. It'd make some big money.

My wife's family LOVES Broadway. Seems like big family get-togethers always begin at Broadway. Was just there Sun. night for some pizza. They love the Around the World and Taco pizzas. They've done some nice upgrades to the place including some new HDTV's. Still has the Elvis pics on the wall.

we went to broadway a couple of months ago for the first time ever, followed up by a trip to the cove.
i was not impressed with the pizza at broadway. at all.
it tasted just like exline's to me, which i'm not a big fan of. different strokes for different folks, i guess. it'll be a place we go for a change of pace, but that's about it.
it may be that if we ordered a different type of pizza i'd like it better - we just got the around the world, minus onions (neither of us are fans).

It's a newish bar on Broad. They took the old ship bar from Anderton's and put it in there. I hear it's kinda a happnin' place these days.

That would be worth a visit.
it's a pretty cool place...they pride themselves on their specialty drinks, which run the gamut.
they also brought over the old guy who shucked oysters at Anderton's until they closed, too, so if you're an oyster fan, i hear this is the place (i'm not, so i can't speak from experience).
some of you may remember it as the former Beer Joint, the place that was grandfathered in when bar laws came about, & was open 24/7.
....not that i would know anything about that, of course.
i ate there back in the 80s. i believe it was the highland poplar area.
I used to know some people who lived over that way in Binghampton on one of the Ivy league streets. We used to joke and say we were going to nut up and go down to the beer joint one night just to see what it was really like.........never could because someone just about always had to be present after dark or the place would get robbed. It was awful around there in the early 90s.
The city must really be dumping some cash into the Broad St area since it got cut off. Tried Broadway pizza once........ never wanted to try it twice. Nearly had to use the napkins just to dab some of the grease off the thing. Blech!

That's what the napkins are for!
i haven't been there but i've been wanting to, i've heard it's excellent
Jimmy's is pretty good, but the deep dish IS expensive, and it takes forever...around an hour AFTER you order. we wound up ordering apps because we were starving, & had to take 3/4 of the deep dish home.
i can make one at home for about $30 cheaper, and it tastes just as good, if not better, though.

that neighborhood is making a very slow comeback...i think they're working on making that stretch of Broad an arts district kind of like south main or the edge. i also keep hearing about a lot of young families moving back & renovating houses, etc.
we used to go to the beer joint back probably 8-10 years ago....luckily, by the time you decided you need "one more" that required going there, you could park really close.
but once you got in there, they ran a tight ship...it was a tacky dive bar with a country jukebox, but if they heard you utter a single cuss word, you were kicked out - no exceptions. i can't imagine that things got too "rough" in there.
