“Try Elvis's Favorite Pizza!”

Coletta's Restaurant is a Memphis institution that first opened its doors in 1923. This Italian eatery claims to be the originator of the barbecue pizza. By many accounts, it was this very pizza that was Elvis' favorite. This is an interesting tidbit of information, as the King reportedly was not fond of barbecue, itself. There are now two Coletta's locations in the Memphis area. It is the one on South Parkway that Elvis frequented.
