We were looking for a pizza place we could dine in and that was NOT a chain- twisted pies answered…read morethe call! We walked in and the place is GORGEOUS! Immaculately decorated and I found out- they're not even done! We're planning on heading back soon to see it when it's complete and some new menu items are added. Service was fantastic and the pizza was amazing. We had the hot & sweet pizza. The salad was fresh and crisp. Their cups are adorable. Probably about 10 tables- so a nice lil spot!

Ordered via phone, and order was ready within 20-25 min…read more Got the 14" Shirley Pie + 6 brownie lava muffins. We started eating the pizza, and then decided to order another while we ate. Ended up getting another pie (Godfather 16"), which took ~30 min. It somehow got olives added and it looked the same size as the 14". We were fine with this, but I'd check the order before leaving the next time. Lava muffins were smaller than pictured on their website, but the center was a perfect gooey mess. It's probably better they were smaller, because they are quite sweet. Super friendly staff, located in an unassuming plaza. Super local feel, and the design feels like a retro diner.

New to the area and headed out to find great Italian food. And I found it. Boy did I find it…read more There are a few Vito's in the Phoenix area, and all had great reviews and photos that made my mouth water. Ultimately I chose the Mesa store because it was the original and I wanted to see Mesa. We started with a basic garlic cheese bread appetizer and it was great. The calamari was tempting but we'll save that for next time. Wife ordered fettuccine alfredo with shrimp and I ordered the usual Chicken Parmesan which came with a side of pasta. It was actually a harder choice than usual because I walked thru the restaurant before I ordered and so many dishes looked good, as did the pizza. But I went with the usual. Let's start with the wife, which truly speaks to the five stars because she frankly doesn't love Italian food. She eats it when I beg. And she loved it. She actually proactively mentioned she wanted to go back. That's like 7 stars right there it's so abnormal. I agree with her. The chicken parm was fantastic. Amazing. To top it off, our server was great and when I mentioned we were new to the area and it was our first trip she was so nice telling us the history of the original and the other stores, and the manager later stopped by to continue that conversation as the server told her we were new. I mentioned that I live closer to the Scottsdale store, and she said it's the same food and I'll like it just as much. I'll have a hard time deciding which shop to return to - it might be worth the drive to the original just for the ambiance, but I'll give the other a try soon because it was just that good! 5 stars. Or 7 if you ask my wife.

Update from June 2026: My chicken Parmesan was great in terms of flavor. I ended up swapping the…read morebreaded chicken that normally comes with the meal for grilled chicken to avoid the oils from frying. I also subbed the sunrise sauce in and it was so delicious. My only complaint was the portion size for the price. Normally I would get to chicken pieces and have leftover chicken. I remember normally going in and being able to split this dish with my husband, but this time it came with one piece of chicken. This was a little disappointed for the price point and hoping to get more protein. The other really annoying part when dining at Vito's is parking. I circled around twice including the parking lot by the car wash and State Farm and called Vito's asking for advice where to park and was told Walgreens across the street due to a big party they were having in the basement. Lastly, Vito's has a happy hour menu, the discount used to be better in the past so lately I haven't ordered from it. However, the frustrating part is in the summer the only way to benefit from them is to sit outside on the patio. I wish they allowed for seating for happy hour specials during hot summer months to be inside as well.

The pizza here is amazing, and I don't think the crust can be beat. Strangely enough, though, my…read morefavorite thing here is the huh. It comes with veggies and bread made from the pizza dough. It's so stinking good. I'm not a big beer drinker but my son is and he likes to come here. This is one of those places that you come to for the food and drink and perhaps not the ambiance. It's not that the decor is bad there's just not much to it. I will say, however, that every staff member I've talked to has been fantastic and friendly and helpful

I've driven by Venezia's so many times since I go to the gym next door. I finally gave it a try,…read moreand I was honestly surprised by how good it was. The pizza was phenomenal. The crust was perfectly crispy with a couple of slightly burnt pieces, which is exactly how I like it. The sauce-to-topping ratio was spot on, and every bite was delicious. We ordered for pickup, and it was ready quickly without much of a wait. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality. This was my first visit, but it definitely won't be my last. I already can't wait to go back and try the wings!

About as close to NJ/ NY style pizza as one can get. Been here many times. Depending on which…read morelocation you go to. Service can be a little slow and painful, but I still get great pizza. Nonetheless, My spot is the one on Southern or McKellips. I've only ordered the pizza and Arancini, but not any of the other amazing looking items they have. If their pizza is an indication of how delicious their food is I'm sure the rest of the menu is just fine

My wife and I decided to escape the heat and house and go to Happy Hour…read more We sat at the bar since there was no one there and the day shift bartender was so friendly. After enjoying a drink we settled on the Italian fries, which are addictive they come parm, truffle, parsley and a special aioli served hot it's just incredibly good. Each ordered our own pizza, my wife the pepperoni and I the Margarita done Napoletana style. They were amazing, dough was soft, easy chew, sauces were incredible. We both agreed this place has moved to near the top of pizza places in NE Mesa. What is incredible is no one was there, we had the whole place to ourselves, which we couldn't believe no one was there for a happy hour on a Friday. We will be back soon, you should try it, well worth it.

Came two nights in a row. Last night it was just appetizers, but the food was so good. We had to…read morecome back tonight for dinner. We had gnocchi and it was phenomenal.

The bar tender made some very tasty drinks and took time to talk about the cocktails. The pizza was so good! The butter crust and GF crusts were the best.

We went to Crave last night to celebrate my daughter's birthday. When we were seated, I let our…read moreserver know it was a special occasion. She immediately told us the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes (we arrived at 7:19 and they close at 8), which already made the experience feel a bit rushed. We ordered a deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza, a Caesar salad, fries, and water. The salad and fries came out quickly and were good, but we waited until 7:52 for the pizza. During that time, several staff members including what seemed to be a manager, were loudly yelling back and forth across the restaurant about staffing and schedules. With no music or TV volume, it was impossible not to hear, and it felt very unprofessional. Meanwhile, our water glasses sat empty. I had to ask three separate times for refills, and the third time I actually had to get up and find our server at the bar, where she was sitting, still discussing the schedule. When the pizza finally arrived, it was delicious. But basic things like Parmesan and pepper weren't offered. I had to flag someone down to ask. And even though we'd just received our food, the lights on the patio were turned off while we were eating, and we were brought a box very quickly, which felt like a not-so-subtle hint to leave. Overall, the food was good, but the customer service and atmosphere really took away from what should have been a nice birthday dinner for my daughter. Very disappointing experience.

Every sandwich, pizza, and entree worth every penny. The staff are all awesome and friendly but there are few of them. So here is the only caveat, don't be in a hurry. Service is not fast.

Best pizza in the Valley by far!! My husband (from New Jersey) has said multiple times that Sal's…read morehas the only pizza in Phoenix that's good - he has high standards, but I agree with him that the best pizza is at Sal's. He usually gets a plain pie (pizza with cheese), which he says is great, and I have had several different kinds of pizza during our visits to Sal's and each one has been amazing - plus, they have garlic powder at each of the tables. The calamari and tiramisu are also fantastic!! The service is always great - our servers are consistently friendly and helpful. The place is super cute and homey and can accommodate both big and small parties. It's a good thing that Sal's is 20 minutes from us, or else we would probably be here at least 3 times a week, something that would do considerable damage to both of our waistlines.

Never order just a slice. Lately, every time I've ordered a single slice instead of a whole pizza,…read moreit's been dry and thrown together. Today I ordered a pepperoni and pineapple slice, and the toppings were literally just laid on top in the center. They didn't add any extra cheese to help it melt together or make it fresh. It's like they take an old slice, throw new toppings on it, and call it good. They didn't used to do this. They used to add cheese, heat it properly, and the slices were actually good. Unfortunately, the last four or five times I've ordered a slice, it's been disappointing every time. Literally the last two slices I've gotten I took one bite, and just threw it in the trash!
