What a great little find during our spring break weekend trip with the kidlet. It's a small, well designed place. Great pizzas (although the crust was a little saggy), delicious salads, and attentive (but not hovering) service. The kidlet loved the flourless chocolate cake and refused to share. The vanilla panna cotta had a pleasing taste but was a little runny. Would we go back? You betcha. read more

Wow this place really surprised me, it had amazing pizza and great options for people with dietary restrictions. We ordered the bread with oil and vinegar, the margarita pizza with no cheese and the Figaro pizza. The crust is amazing the Figaro pizza has brussel sprouts, fig, brie, and walnuts and yes it sounds crazy but so freaking delicious. The margarita pizza with no cheese had a great amount of sauce and roasted garlic and you don't miss the cheese. The bread was made with their crust and was so good. We had a salad with butter lettuce, apples, walnuts and onions, the dressing was so good. Love this pizza joint and with all the pizza places in Tucson this is definitely a hit. We will be back. read more

Visited here with a friend some days ago and was happy to be able to cross this place off of my list. We originally sat inside but it felt like an igloo so we chose the patio instead, which was beautiful at sunset. The restaurant is a lot smaller than I imagined inside, with no more than probably 10 tables. I was pleasantly surprised by the tastiness of the thin pizza and unique options from what I've had in the past. The Giardino pizza was perfect really. However I added sauce which was $1 and meat which was $3, making my pizza $25, which I thought was pretty outrageous for the size of the pizza. I also ordered the zucchini noodles, and though they were fresh, crunchy, and as described on the menu, I was not the biggest fan. It just seemed to be missing something. I used salt and pepper and it was okay. I ordered another pizza to go.. it had garlic cloves and came with sausage already in it. That pizza was disappointing. My friend also felt her pizza was bland and mediocre. Though I enjoyed my Giardino pizza, I don't think I would return, as there's not many meat pizza options here and I don't think is the best value. read more

Good food and nice ambiance. Service was quick and friendly. The pizza was delicious just a bit light on the toppings. I got their pepperoni and Kalamata olive pizza and I'm not really exaggerating when I say there was about an olive per slice . But the taste was there, just would have loved some additional toppings read more

Since I loved the pizza here, I decided to go back to see if the service improved. The manager/owner reached out to me with a sincere apology for my experience and encouraged me to give their restaurant another visit. I was very pleased this time. The staff was friendly and professional. I'm glad to see that the service improved! read more

Falora is truly amazing. Such a unique spot for Tucson. The food is phenomenal and authentic. They have a ton of vegan options and everything on the menu feels special. You know how in most places a salad feels like "just a salad"? Not here. The Kale salad is hands down the best salad I've ever had. My other favorites are the marinara pizza or la cauliflora. The ambience is warm and intimate - it's a great place to bring a date or to catch up with a friend/family member. read more

Falora - La cauliflora (vegan) - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I haven't explored this side of town for food yet. But my friends went to this place to try it out, and unfortunately they have work to do. First, the waitress was unprofessional and rude to use when we were asked for our orders. Second, the pizza was decent and a bit soggy, which was very weird. Third, they did not put our pizzas in a pizza box rather than a weird box for pasta. Also our dessert came in a coffee cup, which was weird again. I don't think we will come back until they fix their service or change in leadership. read more

Absolutely delicious food. I loved the Giardino pizza. Despite the heavy amount of veggies the pizza wasn't soggy but perfectly crispy and delicious. The Bianca was so flavorful and loved the big pieces of basil. The Aperol splitzer is perfect for sharing. The Caesar salad with the large leaves and pieces of cheese was so good. A few sardines in them but it really enhanced the flavor. We sat inside on a Friday at 430 and it wasn't too busy. The service was great and the food even better. read more

Best pizza in Tucson, even with so much great competition! The ambiance of the space is unbeatable. You walk up to a beautiful brick building and enter a mid-century modern style dining setup with select seating inside overlooking an open kitchen as well as a beautiful patio. Honestly this place feels like hanging out in someone's really nice home with great food. Their service is the best, so helpful and kind. Always helping me to decide what to order! They always have vinyl spinning and start your meal with incredible house made olives. My go to items are the Butter Pecan Salad and the Cura Pizza, perfect balance of sweet and salty. We've also tried the Margherita and Bianca, which were tasty, the Pesto is certainly on my list. Their balsamic is some of the best I've ever had, well worth ordering their house made pasta and trying the Caputo Raviolo! They also sell their pizza dough and sauce which is great for making your own pizzas at home. My only wish is that their patio seating had some heat in winter, because it gets quite cold and the inside seating fills up fast. You need a reservation on weekends for sure! It is well worth calling ahead. read more

We went here for happy hour and had a great experience! Their margherita pizza was delicious - the cheese especially was fantastic, totally the good stuff. We got to sit at the bar and see the ins and outs of how they make their pizza, which was also a nice touch. They also have half off beer and wine, which is an amazing deal that we enjoyed! Definitely will be back! read more

We had a group of 9 at Falora tonight. We sat down at 6:30. Our server took our order around 6:45 and warned us there were takeout orders ahead of us. In about 10 minutes we got salads and then right after one overcooked pizza (of 6 ordered) and 3 pasta orders. The other pizzas didn't arrive until a full hour and a quarter later and I didn't get my pizza until 8:36. We saw someone take out 4 pizzas as we waited and my husband chased her out and asked when she ordered them and it was after we had ordered. My pizza was great but it makes no sense to me to prioritize takeout orders over someone sitting in the restaurant. Some of our party left right as I got my food as they were late for other plans. The slowness was unacceptable. The orders arriving out of sync was over the top poor. Very disappointing performance tonight Falora. And NOTHING was offered in compensation for this poor performance. read more

Fun evening with friends. The food was great, unique salad, delicious pasta and pizza. Great service from Zach and Erin read more

Falora - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

One of our favorite spots when visiting Tucson. Pizza is delicious and salads are a meal themselves

I was so excited to try this place because of the rave reviews from friends and on Yelp. However, my experience was one of the worst I've had in Tucson. We ordered two pizzas. Both of them came out burnt. The bottoms were completely black. Our fingertips were completely black from picking up one piece. I understand that this oven is wood and very high heat, but burnt pizza that is inedible is not the outcome of the oven - it's poor time management. We asked for a remake or refund because we couldn't eat the pizzas. My husband was immediately offered a remake. I was told that there was no point in remaking my pizza because it would come out the same. Our pizzas were equally black/burnt. Being treated differently than my husband and told that I would just have to eat a burnt pizza (I had my choice of my first burnt pizza or a second burnt pizza) made me feel so disrespected. I was very polite and turned down the redo and decided to just eat at home. A second employee came to deliver my husband's redo (which was slightly less burnt, but still not good) and he convinced me to try a second pizza. When it came it was raw in the middle and burnt on the edges. Perhaps a slight improvement over my first burnt pizza, but still inedible. I tried to eat the parts I could, but ended up leaving hungry and disappointed. If you want great pizza and servers who treat men and women with the same respect - head over to Caio Down Pizza instead and skip this place altogether. I would give this place 1 star, but have been convinced to give it 2 since they only charged us for one pizza. It's the only thing that they did correctly. read more

There are very few times when I come across a restaurant in Tucson and ask myself why I don't go more often. I haven't been to Falora in more than two years just because I don't live nearby. Randomly went to the movies on this side of town and stopped by to eat at the bar. I loved everything about this experience. The raviolo with Brie blew my mind- the toasted pine nuts were an exceptional touch. I can't help but feel that I need to make the effort to come back more often. Well done. read more

Made it to town and looked forward to a brick oven pizza after getting settled. My normal stop was unavailable. First time at Falora as a result. Expectations were exceeded. I had a marina pizza with mozzarella, a white pizza, and a kale salad. Everything was delicious. The ingredients were exceptional. The staff was super friendly. I will repeat and highly recommend! Awesome. read more

Great vegan options!! I tried their hazelnut gnocchi, vegan margarita and the torta for dessert. Everything was delicious and the food was prepared so fast! If you're looking for a cute Italian restaurant with good vegan options this is it! read more

This place is awesome! One word FLAVOR Zach was a wonderful waiter. We started with a bottle of wine - super affordable. A kale salad which was amazing, the dressing is cashew based and I'm hoping to take some home. We ordered the pesto pizza and added some sausage. Admittedly I was a little skeptical of ordering vegan sausage since I'm a carnivore...but the pizza was also really tasty. We will definitely be back. read more

I love Falora! Although it is very small (so be sure to have a reservation if you want to sit inside), it has a great menu with options for both meat eaters and those of us who eat mainly plant-based. The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. I haven't anything there that I didn't like. The hazelnt gnocchi is delicious as are any of the pizzas! read more

Came in with an open mind; I'm usually your greasy, cheesey gooey goodness pizza kind of girl. Here's the rundown: +Beautiful atmosphere, great lighting and comfortable seating +Service; Had two kids under the age of seven and they were gracious and kind! +My husband's glass of wine was delicious +We ordered the margarita pizza, and I will say the crust was very good, and the cheese that I did have on my pie was tasty! The sauce also tasted very fresh. -I wish there was more cheese on my pizza. It was like one blob, maybe two. Maybe that's a more traditional way of serving pizza, but I wanted more! -We ordered the cavatelli pasta and I was underwhelmed. The pasta itself had a great texture despite needing more flavor. The description read better than it tasted. I also would have liked a larger portion for what I was paying. read more

Great takeout experience. The pizza was legit-- great char and chew to the dough and tasty mozzarella and toppings. Can't go wrong with a classic margherita style. The Caesar salad was also really good-- loved the abundance of cheese and whole pieces of romaine. A bit pricey, but worth it. read more

Yelp community recommended this place to me as I was in town for work. Honestly surprised that it was mostly a vegan plant based joint. I did like what I selected, but not your traditional wood-fired pizza place. I chose the Margherita pizza and added the homemade vegan sausage. So glad that the waitress suggested it because it did not taste vegan and had a wonderful texture. I also had a Caesar salad. The salad is made with crisp lettuce, tiny croutons, and big slices of fresh Parmesan cheese. It was a lot of salad enough to share for two or three people. I really enjoyed the quaint small atmosphere. The service this evening was fine. Too many people have complained about it but for us it was perfect with the waitress being exactly where we needed her to be. The restaurant is not so large that you can't grab attention of someone who works here right away. My only complaint is that at the community table, We had a new mother and father sitting at the end of the table with their two year old. They let their daughter run the restaurant, and they kept chasing after her. It was not very relaxing for us while we enjoyed our meal to have a child running back-and-forth. Don't get me wrong. I love kids. But when in a restaurant, keep them seated. read more

Wow. Visited Tucson for four days and ate out every meal, mostly following the NYT 36 hrs recommendations. Falora served the best meal I had the whole time. Fabulous, seriously gourmet food at a ridiculously reasonable price. Great service, great salads, pizza, dessert. The chef and kitchen are clearly very talented, translating a sophisticated and innovative palate to the plate. Really fantastic. Call ahead to make a reservation. read more

Who knew I could be virtually transported back to Italy via my tastebuds while in the middle of the desert in Tucson, Arizona? Well it happened, and my hubby (who is 100% Italian) and I were all about it! We dined here on Halloween night, our first night in Tucson, and were in town for a marathon. Luckily we were seated right away, because let me tell you, once you step inside, the aroma of of fresh bread and pizza dough baking in the oven makes you instantly drool and wanna cozy up by a fire, drink wine and eat pizza all night...you know what I mean... The food, the warm, candlelit ambiance, the vintage record player and stacks of vinyl records by the window, the authentic hand-crafted wood-fired oven delivered directly from Italy...this place is cooler than your Italian cousin Guido with the accent and the sweet Vespa... ;) Our bread came out nice 'n' hot (the way I like it!), soft on the inside with the perfect amount of crisp on the outside. The Piastra salad (zucchini noodles with house-made Pesto) was delicious! The Za Zucca (vegan pizza) was unlike any pizza we'd ever had, even in Italy! Incredible flavor with the squash purée, and zucchini & garlic on top. To top it off, Ari, the owner came by to see how we were liking everything, and we must have talked his ear off about how great everything tasted and how our experience reminded us of our honeymoon and other trips to Italy. Fun Tip: They play vinyl records here and even give you a bottle of wine if you bring in a record to play in the restaurant! So, vieni qui velocemente! (Italian for "Come here quickly!") read more

I expressed some concerns about the very slow service and some other issues we had at a recent dinner here and the owner was quick to address and make it right.

The indoor ambiance is cute but the porch could use some improvement to be more inviting. read more

We ordered through uber eats and the food arrived cold. Wow the flavors! The dressing on the kale salad is light and flavorful and the nutty pine flavor ravioli was delicious.

Best wood fired pie in Tucson. Friendly team. I just wish the space was a little bigger.

Came here tonight with my husband and we have come in a couple of times before, but this time felt different. Our waitress was unbelievably attentive and made us feel like we were having dinner at a friends house! She had incredible wine knowledge and talked us into getting a bottle of a local wine that was some of the best I've ever had. Service was amazing, Pizza was great, we will be back soon. read more

Falora - Margherita Pizza (With Sauce) - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food here is great, and so is the ambiance. I let Ari, the owner, know about some less-than-ideal service over the past couple of years, and he has addressed it satisfactorily. I trust that Falora is on track and better than ever now! My most recent visit, a few days ago, was perfect. The service exceeded expectations, and so did the food. The pizza is authentic. Simply put, the carbs here are delicious, and if anyone is on the fence about ordering pizza AND bread, I assure you, you need to get the bread. read more

Highly recommend for anybody seeking authentic Italian food in Tucson, especially if you're vegan! I had the Kale salad as a starter and it honestly should have been my whole meal. The leaves are coated in a savory cashew dressing and piled with artichokes and sun dried tomatoes. The dressing is really nice and I think you can even buy a jar from them. For my main, I tried the San Gennaro Pizza with vegan mozzarella. The cheese was nice, almost like little slabs of buffalo mozzarella. It seemed house-made and had a pleasant nutritional yeast profile, far better than the Daiya goop you get on most vegan pizzas. The sausage was so realistic I had to double check that it was a vegan pizza. Most importantly, the crust and sauce were just like the pizzas I've had from Napoli restaurants and my wife confirmed the Margherita was on point. Wish I'd had room to try the desert but will come with a bigger appetite next time. read more

HANDS DOWN the best pizza I've had in Tucson. I've been here 3 times this year and each visit I seem to fall more and more in love with this place. Their Neapolitan pizza has fantastic topping selections, our most recent trip we enjoyed the Cura . Their Kale salad was incredible (I know I just said Kale tasted great) really enjoyed the artichoke hearts, sundries tomatoes, and tasty dressing. Lastly we enjoyed the Hazelnut Gnochi which really surprised us with the great flavor and perfectly crafted dish. Service was wonderful very kind, perfect timing, and made great recommendations. Also if all of that is not enough they have a pizza punch card. Like I need more excuses to go back more often. read more
