Welcome back Fazoli's!!! About 2 miles from it's original location from about 20 years ago and still in front of a Wal-Mart lol! Quick comfort food in a clean pleasant open bright fast food style restaurant. Great value for money! The portions were generous and the food was fantastic. They bring the food to you and your help yourself to the drink station. Friendly staff and quick service.

I grew up eating at Fazoli's and then they closed, and when I saw they were back I knew I had to make it in at some point. I'm so glad we did. The food was delicious and fresh, the service was quick and the staff was friendly. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seating. There was so much leftover and I'm pretty particular about leftover food and reheating but this reheated nicely. I'm so glad it's back and I will definitely be visiting again.

It's fast Italian food. Please don't go in expecting Uncle Sal's or some other upscale Italian. But I love it for what it is! Dinner was around 8:30pm on a Thursday. No one else in the restaurant. I ordered baked spaghetti with meatballs and my guy ordered meatballs. Of course, meals are served with breadsticks! Those breadsticks...so buttery, hot, and perfectly sessoned. Dinner was only around $25 but we didn't order drinks I am glad Fazoli's is not closer to me otherwise I'd be there often.

Back in the early 2000's we used to eat at Fazoli's all the time. There was nothing like getting a basket of warm breadsticks with your meal. In 2008, all of the Fazoli's locations in Arizona closed up shop. Now they are making a comeback. This particular location is at Mesa Riverview and has a drive-thru. A group of us came here for an early dinner. I was the only one in our party that dined at Fazoli's in the old days and shared some stories with them of coming here for lunch. The breadsticks are still the highlight of Fazoli's and just as good as ever. A server walks around with a basket of breadsticks and offers some if you want a couple extra with your meal. I used to always get their Fettuccine Alfredo back in the old days. I tried something different and got the Baked Ziti with some Fried Mozzarella Bites. The food wasn't bad. I enjoyed the feelings of nostalgia that I got from returning here after so many years. But at the same time, it is not the same franchise anymore after multiple ownership changes. I don't live far from here and will stop by again for lunch or something in the near future.

Second time at this location. Stopped in for lunch on my way to Wickenburg for my friend's wedding. Had the Tortellini Cheese Bake & it was so good & very filling! Sweet tea was my go-to drink. The sweet tea here is very good! I love the choices here. So much variety! The service is good as well. Ambiance is good. I just wish there was one in Apache Junction or Queen Creek!

We always used to go to fazoli's back before they left the valley for over a decade. We came here looking to see if it was the same, and while there are some of the same things, it's actually different. The atmosphere is exactly what you would think from a fast food restaurant, although there are more little cubbies and dividers making it more intimate than some. If you are dining in, food is served on real plates and bowls, which is one of the changes from the original fazoli's. The food here is okay, it's definitely not gourmet, but it is a really great change from burgers and chicken for fast food and it really is fine. It feels more like a real meal. If you dine in, it is unlimited breadsticks. One of the staff members brings them around, and when you get low there's more behind it. The price is here are really really good. I got a tortellini and spaghetti with meat sauce combo for only $7.99. That's an amazingly cheap price for what was a really big dinner when you pair it with the unlimited breadsticks. Of course I didn't finish it, but with two adult sons, there's never a problem finding someone to take my leftovers. We will always come here if there's if there's always around. It is fast food that feels like real food. It is super affordable. There's nothing to keep us away.

Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Drive thru is horrendous, they take so long when nobody is there. The food is below average for waiting that long. Breadsticks are always doughy and soggy. This location is absolute garbage. This time I found a piece of hair in my food when I was trying stir up the noddles. Won't ever be returning to another fazolis again. Tasted like plastic.

So I use to eat at Fazoli's back years ago when they were in the Phoenix/Mesa area before they disappeared and they were a go to. Then they were gone. So they're back, and this is the first time I've made it by. When I walked up to the counter the guy working came across as a little much. The name on my receipt was Martha but I don't think that was him as he didn't look like a Martha. Anyway, like I said, he came across a little over the top, but as we progressed in the conversation, he really started to grow on me. His attitude, demeanor, and overall presence was pure CUSTOMER SERVICE! He was very outgoing, very talkative, very cool, and very nice. I listened to him with others while waiting for my food and he was the same with them. The food was as expected. It's fast food, sure, but it's very flavorful and fresh and it makes it worth the price you pay. The loaded fettuccine alfredo was better than I've had at even like Olive Garden. The breadsticks? I LOVE THEM!!! The place was clean and actually kinda intimate and I was impressed that there was someone out cleaning tables and what not. So I give them five stars for this visit because the food is very good for what it is and the guy working? Well he made my day!

Their back, drinks area!

After 16 years, we have come back to Fazoli's!!! They've come back to Mesa, Sky Harbor, and Glendale in AZ! So happy that they are back and they didn't disappoint. The food (Chicken Fettuccini and Spaghetti with Meatballs was as good or better than what we remembered! I read a bunch of posts that said the unlimited breadsticks were no longer available and that was not the case, so that was a pleasant surprise. And on top of it all, the staff was fantastic, they had 3 people walking the dining area to make sure we had everything we wanted and I didn't feel like they were intruding! We will definitely be back!

Hello folks, today Jen & I are going to see the Premiere Opening of " Weapons " as we were given free tickets to go thanks to our friend Derk, so we decided to get some to eat as we would be getting out late, Fazoli's is back in Arizona after being gone for some time so decided to go there, our waiter was very nice & polite as we order our dishes, the inside wasn't bad looked pretty much like all fast food joints, it was pretty quiet for the most part as I'm sure we were a little early before the rush, we both ordered something different as we like to share the dish with each other, the wait wasn't long for the food and after seeing the portion size we wished we ordered one dish rather then two, everything seemed to taste the same as we remembered from past experience, I had the Chicken Alfredo with Chicken, the chicken seemed a bit on the dry side but eatable, Jen had the Baked Ziti which was pretty good, the bread stick didn't look to be that fresh ( maybe due to sitting under a heat lamp to long ) so only had a few bits of them. I'm not sure if I'll be back soon but over all it wasn't bad. So I'll let you be the judge on your visit with a thumbs or thumbs

The drive-thru line.

Q: Why did the Italian pasta chef become a boxer? A: He kneaded dough but couldn't find a penne. As a born and raised Arizonan, I remember Fazoli's quite fondly. They had been in Phoenix for a hot minute before they disappeared in the early 2000s. Of course, when they were in town, I was still quite young and who knows if I could trust my tastebuds. Now that they're back, I wanted to give them a try with an adult palate. The two of us ordered twelve breadsticks and two samplers (one of them was the Ultimate Sampler: Fettuccine Alfredo, Penne with Meat Sauce, Spaghetti and Meatball, Lasagna with Meat Sauce) We went through the drive-thru and it still took around 30 minutes since it was busy. After taking it home and digging in, I felt satisfied, but it's far from the Fazoli's I remembered. It's not the best pasta but they're not bad. The breadsticks are still amazing though. I would never say no to Fazoli's as my thoughts on them are caked in nostalgia but I wouldn't say you HAVE to try them. If they were closer, I could see myself visiting them as often as I did in my youth. But as an adult? Eh, we got spaghetti at home.

Two samplers and a dozen breadsticks.
Michael W.

If you were around for the late 1900s or early 2000s, you have a good chance of remembering this place. My childhood home was about half a mile to a Fazoli's and I remember liking this place. Now that they're back and I have my big boy adult tastebuds, I think the rose colored glasses are off. Everything tasted the same and the noodles leaned towards the overcooked side. The only saving grace is that the breadsticks are as good as ever. I wouldn't make it a destination and go out of my way to go dine at a Fazoli's but if they opened a location closer to home, I might.

Chicken carbonara
Stephanie L.

The Fazoli's lines have died down and online ordering is available now! We ordered the Chicken Carbonara ($10.99), baked lasagna ($11.49), and large breadsticks ($7.99). I preferred the chicken carbonara of the two. The lasagna was dense. The taste, you get what you pay for! For the inexpensive prices, you really can't complain. If you want better quality, spend a little more and head to OG.

See all

I love that they change their menu daily, it's handwritten and the details are posted on their Instagram page if you want to take a look before you arrive. Everything is made fresh to order! The day we had gone in, they had a few sandwich and pasta options available to choose from. My husband got the spicy Italian sausage ziti pasta dish and I ordered the chicken parm sandwich. The sandwich came out first; I really liked the marinara sauce on it. It was a bit difficult to eat but exactly what I was expecting and wanting. The pasta took some time to come out, but that was fine. The sauce was like a pesto vodka sauce, very rich & filling, and also tasty. We were both only able to eat half of each dish since they were both large dishes. I believe they only serve pasta dishes on certain days, so if they have them on the menu, definitely consider ordering one of those. They seem to have sandwiches everyday. It's a pretty small place with a few tables & some bar type seating. It gets pretty busy around lunch time, so plan accordingly. We'll be back again to try other items!

Simple Bad-da Bad-da Boom done! Simple try it. Parking 5/5 Arrived a few minutes before our 6pm reservation and our hostess found and confirmed our Yelp reservations. She brought us to our table. Ambiance 5/5 Thats correct not atmosphere here it's 100% ambiance. Subdued lighting, table candlelight's, Service 10/5 Alyssa was our server tonight. Very friendly and welcoming. She had in depth knowledge the menu, specials, wines and pairings, and Sprites. She timed our courses perfectly which allowed us to enjoy starters, Salado which is a detail lost on many Resturant's today. The kitchen was magnifico tonight. Thank-you guys! Alyssa was all that and more, this is what table service should be like. Great job we will be asking for you again. Food 10/5 We ordered the zucchini which were served in a nice and little crisp batter. They were great. We ordered a salad which was large enough for sharing. The dressing was the perfect paring for all the wonderful ingredients. Entrees included an order of Egg plant parmigiana over pasta. Portions are generous. My entree was tonight's special, prime rib ragu also a generous portion. The prime rib was nicely incorporated in their linguine style pasta and with other fresh vegetables in a hearty an slightly sweet sauce like my own. This was a perfect recommendation by Alyssa thank- you I'd order this again. Desert was a large serving of crème brûlée. The topping was perfectly toasted giving it its crispy texture and smoky notes. Looking for an Italian date night or cozy chill and classy place to finish your day on a good note, Sam & Luca's Italian Bistro won't disappoint. Servizio come dovrebbe essere, cibo fantastico in un'atmosfera che si stabilizza. Magnifico! Eat well my friends-SYOY!
