Memorize
Hi, there
Let’s say I am ordering a pizza on my phone and they ask for my phone number, but I can’t remember it, which of the following sentences could I say?
“I am sorry, but I don’t know it by heart”
“I am sorry, but I haven’t memorized it”
“I am sorry, but I don’t have it memorized”
Thank you!

A nice phrase, if you want to sound really fluent: "I can't remember it off the top of my head."
"Off the top of my head" means immediately, without having to think hard.
This is normally in answer to an unexpected request, though, so perhaps it's not the best option here. But it is a nice one to use when the situation demands it.

You can say all three and meaning will be achieved. There are other more common ways to say this:
" I am sorry, but I have forgotten my number"
"I am sorry, but I cannot remember my number"
"I am sorry, but I don't know my number"

I would use number 1, but they could all work.
