The good news is Fiamme still has arguably the best pizza in Tucson, even after the pandemic. The bad news is their chairs are perhaps the most uncomfortable in town. We stopped in recently and gorged ourselves on fresh pizza (see photos below). They do a land office business in carry-out which I just don't understand: the crusts have a half-life of maybe 10 minutes, and I would think by the time you got it home it would be a soggy mess, but hey, whatever turns your crank. If you have not dined in here and had a pizza fresh out of their oven you have not lived. read more

I suppose all good things come to an end. From 2022-2023, I came here almost weekly. It was pretty busy, lines out the door, tons of pick up orders, and great staff. There was an overhaul in staff in 2023 and the quality dropped significantly. The new staff was less engaged, less friendly, and worst of all... the pizza became inconsistent. I started to taper off going there weekly as a hope that the pizza would return to its legendary status. Eventually I stopped going regularly and went once every two months or so. 2024, sigh... went in at 7pm and Fiamme was empty. All tables open, not a patron sitting. A couple of take out orders were waiting. We ordered our pizza. Initial server was somewhat in a mood. The one staff member from pre-2023 was there and she was great as always. Anyways, back to the pizza, the important part. Its not the same. My pizza was stiff like crackers, very thin, and barely any sauce. The other two pizzas were very inconsistent. One of the margheritas looked normal but had too much sauce, and the other margherita came out oval and the colors were way off. One person came in after us. He ordered a cola and a pizza. He ate half a slice and got the bill. To be fair, not sure if he didn't enjoy the pizza or was just full (he was an older man), but he declined the offer to take a box to have the pizza to go. Im not a business person but I cant see how they will survive if this night was any indicator of the overall performance. I hope they find their bearings and get their consistency back because they were once the best pizza you'd find in a very large radius. Good luck, hope the future people that dine here have a better experience than I did! Cheers, and wish you better futures Fiamme. read more

Absolutely fabulous pizza. We chose to dine in although most of their orders are definitely carry out. The dine in seating is minimal and would not work well if there were a lot of large parties, but our party of four was immediately seated since everyone else was ordering take oOur pizza came out fast and everyone enjoyed it. Toppings were high quality, sauce was tasty. We also got the Nutella dessert pizza and it was an instant favorite. read more

I've begun a slow hunt to find great pizza in Tucson. Fiamme has a great oven that can reach the temperatures necessary to meld rich flavors. The cheese is okay but lacks the creaminess that makes a margarita pie great. Fiamme is still worth a visit and I'll be back. read more

New to the area , Flamme Pizza is good, I recommend trying it. Pizza was done perfect, crust was crisp..all good..give it a try

Prob the best pizza in Tucson. The dough is extra chewy and yummy. Prices are high but the food is amazing. There's 4-5 small tables inside but it's mostly a take out spot. Order ahead, takes about 20-30 min for an order. read more

We ordered 4 varieties of 18" pizzas for takeout but we were not very impressed. We put them in the warm oven to serve but it just tasted awful. It tasted mediocre; there were not enough sauce , the green things were not in the right place & the cold pizza ( by the time it arrived) was inedible.What are all these glorious reviews about this mediocre-to-tasteless pizza, I wonder? read more

The hubby and I were hungry for pizza and because Fiamme Pizza is close by and after reading the great reviews we decided on takeout. Ordered the half verde & half meat with a Caesar salad I had hoped to share. The verde was excellent however the meat was a little salty and obviously greasy from the meat yet still good after damping the fat left behind.. it's pizza and grease is expected. The Caesar salad.. my husband said as he walked in, I guess you won't be sharing.. .. take out Caesar salad was a small serving nicely spread out in the to go plate beautifully adorned with shredded Parmesan and beautiful croutons. IMO, it was an expensive but delicious salad for the takeout serving. I'm glad I asked for dressing on side as it would have been too much for the small serving. Regardless, it was excellent! Ordering by phone was easy and the person assisting was delightful as we had many questions... The pizza was done in the allotted time & we picked up a piping hot pizza. read more

What a wonderful spot! Had dough balls for my toddlers to play with. Sweet casual ambiance. Very good pizza! This is a winner

Tried Fiamme for the first time last night and we're REALLY glad we did! The place is small but the flavors are huge! We ordered a Neo-Brooklyn pizza with sausage and ricotta and a Pizza Bianca. They were both outstanding and we will absolutely go back. When we arrived to pick up our pizzas, only one of them was ready - they didn't have the Bianca on our order... BUT, they immediately made it and it was in the oven within 2 minutes of realizing the error. Sometimes shit happens, and this was a 5-star response! One Note - In the future I will ask them to put the fresh basil in the pizza box when I'm ready to leave. They'd put it in the first pizza box when that was ready and then it sat on top of the pizza oven (to keep the pizza warm) which turned some of the basil brown. This doesn't take away from all the raving I'm doing about the restaurant, just a "pro-tip" of sorts if your pizza comes with fresh basil and you aren't there to pick it up immediately when it's ready. We got home and the pizza was delicious. The sausage, in particular, was out of this world with lots of fennel and a little spice. Absolute perfection. My 5-star review reflects the fact that Fiamme Pizza is crushing it. Delicious pizza, fair pricing and incredible customer service. Don't change a thing (except the fresh basil sitting in the pizza box on top of the oven thing)! read more

Not sure what to make of my experience on a 630 Saturday night call in order. First, the two pizzas that were $22 on the website, turned out to be $26. That's lame. Second, they quoted a 40 minute wait time. I showed up at 35 minutes. The pizzas were ready, and i discovered were cold. They were probably done in 20. Take away pizza is always a gamble. read more

Fiamme Pizza - First timer let's see how it goes. - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Ive been a customer since the days they were solely a food cart. Since they moved into the brick and mortar store I have found that the over all experience has slowly slipped. A few factors play into my updated rating. The pizza is not consistent. On a recent order the pizza was doughy and undercooked, followed by another visit in which the pizza tasted like it was covered in soot and not in the good charred crust type of way. Lastly, their customer service over the phone is often is unfriendly, and abrupt. For example, the guy we placed our order with hung up on us mid sentence as we were asking if we could be over the phone. The experience feels sloppy and disinterested all at the same time, which is disappointing. Fiamme is generally the better option in the foothills area, but k take pause whenever takeout night leads us there. We usually just make the drive to anello to pick up but on lazy nights where a short drive is more convenient we do fiamme, despite the inconsistency and lackluster service. When they're on point, the margherita is a good choice. read more

I wanted to see what the fuss was about and was craving a crisp crust, so got a slice for lunch. As it should, that slice of pepperoni went into the oven. The middle was still soft but the slice was hot and delicious. This crew clearly prioritizes ingredients- the pepperoni was fabulous, and they had heaps of fresh basil piled in waiting. I'll be back for a full size pizza next time. read more

Very good Neapolitan pizza. Highly recommended. A large group of us were out there for work and repeatedly went back there. Wood fire, etc.

Located in the Safeway Plaza, is this cozy pizza restaurant. The restaurant was buzzing with pick-up orders and diners inside. You're given complimentary sourdough bread and olive oil. We ordered a small Pizza Bianca and medium Carne pizza with focaccia bread and two iced teas. The pizza was really good, but the best part was the value. They could charge more for this pizza, but our bill was $39!! This is unbelievable eating out in Tucson. They've got my business. read more

Neo Brooklyn style pizza! I love the idea. While on vacation it's a bit of a trip ritual to get some local late night pizza to go and eat it back at our hotel room. We had an 18" Margherita pizza. The pizza was a hefty portion! It was indeed like a hybrid of Neapolitan and Brooklyn style pizza. The slices were large and the crust thin like a Brooklyn style pizza, but was a bit more pliable with more of a tender chew to it like a Neapolitan pizza. The pizza was so good that the toddler picked up a slice (The largest one of course) and licked it to claim it as hers. She is learning early on in life about pizza property rights! I appreciated that the fresh basil was in a bunch off to the side of the pizza so you can add it right when you eat it. Some of the basil was a bit tired, brown and wilted looking though but overall it still tasted good. If we're in the area we'd definitely stop by again. P.S. Check on YouTube for owner Scott Volpe's extraordinary acrobatic pizza spinning skills! read more

Fiamme Pizza - Margherita Neo-Brooklyn style - Pizza Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I think this might be the best pizza in Tucson. There was a line out the door, and I can see why. We had the Margherita pizza. Simple (sauce, cheese, and basil) and exquisite. The sauce is perfection in and of itself. And these are half off on Mondays. What more could you want? We also split an arugula salad, which was a perfect portion to go with the pizza. The only improvement I can think of is bumping up the wine selection. We each had a glass of the "best" red, but while priced as a better wine, it was not so in reality. Five stars remain in this rating, because after all, it is all about the pizza. read more

Really good pizza. Fiamme is only a mile or so from our house and we love this place. Mostly, we will call in an order and pick up the pizza to enjoy at home, as the place is kinda small and always bustling with other customers--as we are not the only people in the foothills of Tucson to know where to get some really-really good pizza. The combination of the small/tight dining area, with the heat of the oven, the numerous hungry customers that seem to always be there, and the fact that the place is west-facing (sun sets in the west) made a recent visit there (during Tucson's cruel summer) kinda hot and uncomfortably warm for me. *But we did eat there during the winter months a while back, and it was quite cozy. The wait staff that has served us when we dined there have always been very cordial and caring and professional. Back to the pizza...The dough is a perfect balance of chewiness and firmness (I would describe it as, "a pizza version of al dente"). The sauce is slightly sweet and has a perfect hint of acidity. It pairs perfectly with the hand tossed dough. The toppings are top of the line and generously and lovingly placed upon these masterfully crafted slices of heaven. The pizzas here are not cheap, but they are memorable and a treat i don't mind splurging a bit for to enjoy. read more

This pizza is delicious. I was very surprised how good the pizza was here. I was not expecting this quality of pizza in Tucson. I was happily surprised.

Best Neapolitan style pizza in Tucson! Had the pizza picante and it absolutely was a hit.

My order: Margherita, extra sauce, sopressata salami, pepperoni, mushroom. Asked it to be on the doughy and undercooked side like a traditional neopolitan pizza. The good: I wouldn't be surprised if this is the best pizza place in Tucson. The crust was good. Great vibe and service. Very good classic rock music playlist. Feels casual enough to be a pizza place and comfortable enough to sit down for a while, plus they have alcohol so you can really have a sit down meal. The bad: The sauce needs more sweetness to it. The meats are SUPER salty and are not counteracted by the sauce because the sauce is also a bit salty. The pepperoni and sopressata salami both were not very good and the pepperonis were burnt. I got almost no mushrooms on my pizza. They forgot the basil entirely. The pizza to me was too Brooklyn and not neopolitan enough. I prefer the authentic Italian neopolitan style pizza. This was a hybrid of New York style and Italian but the New York part dominated. The decor in the restaurant was very Italian which was incongruent with the product. read more

This is the best neapolitan style pizza we've found in Tucson! It's relatively consistent (we've had a few burned ones over time but far more good ones than bad) and especially great for the Margherita Monday deal for half price basic pies. To go can be a little rough, our order has been wrong multiple times so my pro tip would be to check your order before leaving the store. Solid choice overall! read more

The pizzas are tasty. The service could be better. A couple months ago I ordered pizzas for take-out that I wanted to be left uncut. The order was acknowledged, but the pizzas were cut when I picked them up. The same thing happened another time, but my expectations were lowered and I did not mention anything. Yesterday I ordered two pizzas online. When I got there, it became clear that half of my order was missed and only one pizza was ready. I pointed out that the first pizza was getting cold while I was waiting for second one to made and baked. Instead of acknowledging my concern, the employee told me to "have a nice day". Ugh. read more

OK we ordered two items: a calzone and a grandma style pizza. Take a look at the below. We opened the box and said "Where's the calzone and the grandma style?"

The incompetency is astounding. read more

Fiamme's pizzas are so good! Their crust is so flavorful with a good bite and I just love their sauce. We frequently place orders on Monday evenings for their half-off Margherita pizza deal. We usually get 3 of the 13" Margherita's for just under $30. It's a really good deal for Neopolitan style wood-fired pizzas. One of my favorite pizza places in town! read more

We ordered takeout on 1/20 6:00pm and they seemed to be slammed. I was impressed by how efficiently the team worked in the small kitchen with so many orders. The head chef stayed cool and kept everyone on task even through all the chaos and 10 people being there for pick up at the same time. Our order was incredible and had no errors. You can tell they use quality ingredients. We got the carne, carciofi (add sausage) and the carbonara (breakfast pizza). Delicious!!! read more

Did a pick up order for pick up at ~6:30. Ordered a Margarita with soppressata and ricotta and ended up being ~37$ after tax and tip. Walked in to see multiple people in the kitchen standing around and did not appear to be busy at that time. When we got the pizza back home we saw that the the basil was stuffed to the side of the box and had the top of the basil plant attached to a stem. Pizza was already cold only going 2 miles from location. Soppressata was stacked and chopped and then thrown onto the pizza unevenly. Several places there were stacks of 4-5 slices of it. Seems like they just threw the toppings onto a pizza they had premade for slices. read more

I've been wanting to try Fiamme Pizza for a while, mainly because the pictures of the food look amazing, and they aren't far from my home. Last night my husband ordered a 18" Margarita pizza, and it was delicious. The crust was perfect and had a delicate flavor. It was crispy and chewy with just the right thickness. There was just the right amount of sauce and cheese on it. AND they were nice enough to put the basil on the side so it wouldn't get soggy on the pizza during delivery. I ate several pieces, and I didn't feel gross afterward because it's so fresh and good. We will be going back to Fiamme Pizza. I look forward to trying something different on the menu, but I don't know-the Margarita pizza is so good, I may stick with that! Tastes like Naples! UPDATE: OK, we were anxious to try another pie from Fiamme, so we got the delicious Ortolana pizza. Once again, we were very impressed. I forgot to take a picture of our last pizza, so here is what was left when I remembered to take one this time: read more

Pizza was supposed to be ready for pickup at 6pm. Waited until 6:30pm for a pizza that was about 1/3 burned. Ironically, a woman who was also waiting a long time with me said just before my pizza was ready, "I hope they don't burn it." She was talking about her own order and half-joking, I think. But the joke was on me. If you want to try them out, don't go on a weekend evening. They can't handle the traffic. And if you order take-out, take a look in the box before you take it home. read more
