    Pepperoni
    Jason S.

    First time and we will be back. This place is immediately only top two or three in town. (For reference, those are Time Market and Doughbird Detroit style.) Ordered the litmus tests of one cheese and one pepperoni. Both were excellent. The sauce is herbed nicely and the cheese is perfect. This is probably my favorite crust in Tucson. The only downside is the outdoor seating but that's not really their fault.

    Visited again this time on a Thurs night, same pizza (snakebite) and was mic happier. Maybe the dough in my last visit was end of the batch or over baked. Happy to continue expecting good things from them!

    Amazing pizza! Pizza was great, service even better! Great pizza options from classic to fun and exciting!

    Shortest line I've seen all Tuesday night

    So tonight was a very different dinner service. It's like all the older folks of Tucson came to Hop Shop and Ciao Down tonight. Some band was playing at Hop Shop. I'm not there for the band. I get there at 6 and see the long line. I'll wait to order. I grab a hop water and enjoy happy hour with my friends. The line dies down to about eight folks so I get in line. I'm in line for more than 20 minutes. I ordered and tell the guy I'm upstairs at point to where my friends are. About 20 minutes after I order, I'm going to the restroom and drop in to ask about my pizza as cook time is very fast on those oven types. They said it's coming up. I tell them again I'm upstairs and my order number is on the railing for them to see. I come in again about 20 minutes later to ask about the pizza. It's coming up. I tell them I'm upstairs. An hour goes by, my friends are winding down and getting ready to go home. I check on my pizza. Oh we didn't find you. I said I told you guys I was upstairs and my number was on the railing so you can see it from the entrance and downstairs. I got a cold pizza in a box that I won't enjoy with my friends. They tried to make it right by saying please grab some desserts. I don't really have a sweet tooth, but I grabbed a couple desserts. It was just a bad situation. The pizza was just OK from the two cold bites I had. Maybe next time will be better?

    Always great service and delicious desserts! This time, we tried the Hot Honey Blueberry Cheesecake and it was absolutely fantastic. It had a perfect balance of sweetness and crunch, with just the right touch of heat from the honey. Highly recommend.

    After a long day at the nearby PPA tournament, our party of six (3 moms and 3 kids) made our way to Ciao Down... We had worked up an appetite playing and watching pickleball so we were literally ready to chow down! The parking lot was packed but we managed to find parking and luckily the line to order food wasn't too bad when we arrived. The kids ordered their own pizzas and the moms shared a caprese salad, a heatwave pizza, and an order of artichokes. It took awhile to come out, but it was delicious! As others have shared, it's a fast casual restaurant housed in the Metal Arts Village... there is a bottle shop in the building so those that want drinks (wine, cider, beer) can find it there. There is also a mini bookstore on the property and there was a book club meeting happening while we were there. There is plenty of seating indoor and outdoor, and I think upstairs too... some fun vending machines, and more. We enjoyed our meal and had some treats (fresh cookies) on our way out for dessert. I would definitely return to this unique pizza place in the future!

    Popped in here on a Wednesday evening. Placed my order and they text me when it was ready. I had the "snake bite" pizza. It was a unique sweet and spicy fusion. The ricotta cheese was a nice addition. It was a little too sweet for me, but I plan to come back and try some of their other pizzas

    Stopped in here with my beer-drinking friend and our dogs after a short mile long walk along the Loop. It was 1pm and there was no line. My friend and I were seated nextdoor at the Hop Shop with our dogs. I went to Ciao Down and ordered a veggie pizza. The very friendly server then delivered the pizza to our table with two strips of chicken for each of our dogs. The pizza was delicious. The crust had a slightly sweet taste. The sauce was tangy and the cheese and other toppings was just right. It made for a very tasty lunch. I will be back.

    Veggie Patch pizza w/vegan cheese - look at that crust! Yum!
    Niki G.

    PIcked up pizza for lunch! Got the Veggie patch pizza and I was able to sub in vegan cheese. The veggies were fresh and the crust had the slightly charred edges with a good chewy texture. Yummy!

    This is my fifth time heading in to indulge at Treat and as you tell, I'm a little obsessed! The space is cool, and unique. The minute I initially walked in I noticed the decadent variety of desserts, and the fantastic rotating gelato selection. It's all fresh ingredients, and so creamy! They might be some of the best gelato in Tucson! In the past, I've had their cookies, and rice crispy treats, which have all been sensational but, their gelato is next level. Currently, they are offering root beer floats for summer! The service is great and the prices are comparable to other local spots. I highly recommend their high quality sweets for any occasion especially during the hot summer days!

    Bummer that you can't order online or by phone. Ordering at the counter was quick and it took about 20-25 minutes for the pizzas. There were tables available outside or in the shared indoor space with Tucson Hop Shop. Parking was a little difficult and there was street parking also. The pizzas were good and enough to share. The pepperoni could have been crispier.

    We were greeted as we walked in. What a cute little spot for baked goods and gelato, even for your puppers. We ordered 4 cookies for $10, which I thought was a great deal, some gelato, and a ginger sorbet float. I chose two flavors of gelato, the coffee chocolate chip and pistachio, and both were really good. One daughter tried the peaches and cream and loved it. The ginger sorbet float was also refreshing on a hot summer day. All the baked goods looked amazing. There's a small area to sit and enjoy 2 tables inside and a couple outside. It's great and locally owned!

    Always amazing. The weirder the pizza sounds, the better it is. Seriously, get the one outside your comfort zone.

    Very good pizza, as long as they don't sell out! How do you sell out two hours before your scheduled to close!!???? Very disappointing.

    4.5 stars. Good dogs. You get a choice as to what style you want. (Check out my photo for their…read moresimple menu.) They only do dogs. I had the Chipilon which is the toasted bun and the melted cheese. The best way to go, in my opinion. It was very good. Some of the chopped onion was a tad large and a just a tad crunchy. By "some" I mean only two pieces on the whole dog. That didn't bother me at all but I know for some that might be an issue. Not much in the way of a salsa bar. He had only two, a very watery guac sauce and a very watery mild green salsa. On the SW corner of Ft. Lowell and Country Club. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

Even though the restaurant was open for business they did not answer the phone! Warning! I finally had my call answered in the evening and made our reservation and informed them that we were interested in the 'Cheese Wheel Linguine' as you are required. We were then informed while ordering that they would not be doing the 'wheel' due to 'callouts' that night. OK, so I tried to order (4) different bottles of Chardonnay and they were out of three of them. We started with an appetizer of 'calamari' and it came 'burnt' and like rubber. We also ordered their famous Caesar Salad and were never served. We then decided to order a pizza which was served to us cold, uncooked and doughy. The poor wait staff and cooks are not managed correctly and were well over whelmed with no help. I was informed that the restaurant has 'new ownership' as they were purchased by 'Flying Leap Vineyards' and have been recently having staffing issues, inventory issue's and the new owners have cut back on everything. They did credit us on our bill for the cold uncooked pizza and the burnt calamari that was not edible. Our waiter felt so bad but, as we told him it was not his fault we were leaving without eating dinner 90 minutes later. Flying Leap Vineyards needs to somehow overcome this type of quality and improve things in a hurry otherwise ' just shut the doors' and sell Wine!
