    Meatballs Ricotta
    Chelsea J.

    I placed an order for carry out and it was done well within the quoted time. Everything was packaged up with a lot of care which is appreciated. I was disappointed to see how small the Caesar salad was for $9. However the homemade dressing and croutons definitely elevated the salad. I also got the meatballs ricotta and that dish blew my mind. It's easily one of my new favorite Italian dishes in town. I think the ricotta is homemade, it's so creamy, and the meatballs and sauce are packed with flavor. I loved every bite. I'll be back for that dish for sure.

    Personal Bday pizza
    Tommy L.

    Stopped by Fresco Pizzeria and had a great experience! Mileenha was super friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. I ordered a personal pizza with pepperoni and black olives -- it was cooked to perfection with plenty of toppings and great flavor in every bite. I also really appreciated being sent a birthday discount email -- such a nice touch that made the visit even better. Overall, great service, tasty pizza, and a spot I'd definitely come back to!

    Best pizza in southern AZ! Great delivery with pizza still hot! Add their Caesar salad with jerk chicken! Great meal. Then I add a lovely Margarita! Perfect

    Gluten-Free Crust 12 inch pepperoni and Italian sausage
    Caron M.

    Stopped in for a weeknight dinner- place was quiet and a few groups were dining. I had a gluten free pizza and glass of red blend, while my dining companion had a pepperoni Stromboli and lager. It's a casual place where you order at the counter and seat yourselves. Food didn't take too long to arrive, and it was piping hot and gorgeous. Very flavorful- took half my pizza home for tomorrow and I'm looking forward to those leftovers.

    Very Veggie Pizza Garlic Bread
    Unique A.

    Oooo this place is dangerously good it'll be hard for me to not get a pizza every week. Plus many vegan options!! I got the vegan veggie pizza 12" and vegan garlic bread. The marina that came with the bread was some of the best I had I had to dip my pizza in it haha and the bread was crispy but not too hard. The pizza was soft and thick (I'm not a thin crust fan so I loved this), and lots of veggies. Everything was $32 pre tip but the pizza was very filling because of the thick dough so this last me almost 3 meals. The only thing I wished was different was the vegan cheese having more flavor (I've eaten a lot of MOD pizza just because I like the dairy free cheese flavor) but that really wasn't an issue I just sprinkled some nutritional yeast on it when I got home and it was perfect. The place was very clean and had good music. We had a group of around 8 and came a little close to closing time without realizing it but the server was very nice about it and the food still came out quick and well done.

    Chicken Marsala missing mushrooms and flavor.
    William D.

    The chicken marsala can be really good... when it's made correctly. I've ordered it for takeout many times and there's about a 50/50 chance of the mushrooms being left out of the dish. Last night's order was missing the mushrooms and the marsala sauce was way different from how it usually is. The sauce was really light and just didn't have that delicious marsala flavor. Feels like a ripoff for $22. For the chicken, it seems like they use bromelain or some other meat tenderizer on it. It's good when the food is fresh, but things start to get weird if you have leftovers.

    God level pizza slice topped with anchovies, red onion and portobello mushrooms!
    Joseph M.

    As a native New Yorker and Brooklynite, that has easily eaten his weight in pizza, Fresco Pizzaria served up The Finest Ive ever had. The crust had a thin crisp shell, and an almost impossibly weightless body that every pizza maker strives for. We ordered toppings of anchovie, red onion and mushrooms. They're using spoon sized cubes of portobello to retain the natural flavor and cooked to perfection. Service was 2nd to none. Perfect ambience. If I could give this place six stars I would. Bon apetit!

    Beef Cannelloni and Roasted Veggies
    Yelena R.

    Stopped by for a quick lunch after a movie at the Loft theater. Pretty casual place with fresh pasta and pizza dishes. You order at the counter before grabbing a table. All of the staff was very nice and service was fast. Some of the pasta is made in house. I ordered a 1/2 portion house salad. It's an enormous dish with fresh salad; I got it with ranch dressing which was served on the side. Just amazing. Beef cannelloni is so delicious. The sauce is just perfect flavor, baked with a perfect amount of cheese on top. Their roasted veggies are absolutely delicious. I don't know how I never knew about this place. The server said they have been open for about 10 years. Will definitely go back to try their pizza

    White pizza
    Nancy F.

    I've been to Fresco a couple of times before and the pizza was ok. Some friends wanted to eat there tonight and the pizza was fantastic. I ordered the white pizza and the toppings were artichoke, roasted garlic , prosciutto and lots of cheese. The crust was crisp and soft with plenty of toppings. Service was great and they checked on us several times. It was busy for Sunday night. It was so good I went back the next day and ordered to sane pizza to go.

    Chicken Masala and Lasagna, each with perfectly grilled vegetables.

    Wow, delicious food!!! I'm in town visiting and a local friend and I decided to try this place out. He loved his lasagna and said the tomato sauce was excellent!! I had the chicken masala over fettuccine in a cream sauce. It had chunks of mushrooms. Absolutely delicious!!!! I'm hoping to have the opportunity to eat there again before I leave town. This place deserves 5 stars!!!

Busy on a Weds 330PM shortly after doors open, after 2 days off, but understand it fills up even own the patio and after tasting you'll know why :) Fine dusted parm topped a zesty house dressed $13 Caesar that was pre-split for sharing.

We were seated right away since it wasn't busy, and things started off simple enough with bread and oil. We asked for parmesan to go with it, and our server seemed unsure how to respond, eventually bringing out packet parm even though fresh was clearly available. Not a huge deal, but we found it odd. A little later, we asked for more bread. The server told us they were out but, "that they could probably make more". . He relayed it to the woman handling bread, who then made more for another table and skipped us entirely. He mentioned it again to her when he saw us looking in their direction. she looked over, and still nothing. It was awkward, since the restaurant is the size of a closet. Once the pizza came, we got up ourselves to ask for more oil and parmesan, since our waiter hadn't come to check back. We got the oil instantly since we brought us the bowl, but no parmesan. At one point my son asked for bread, again, finally it came and the server literally tossed it on the table without a word. We said thank you and he completely ignored all of us. It didn't get any better from there. The bill was dropped on the table without a word either. My husband and I kept looking at each other with confused looks. We turned the bill in with our CC, and once the server returned it, same thing, not a single interaction. We also watched the same server make another table feel like an inconvenience over something as simple as asking for a bottle of Coke instead of a can. The customer ended up backing down just to avoid the hassle. The server then told the guest, "it's fine, I can get it for you!" On top of that, staff were wearing gloves while handling food, but also touching chairs, phones, and other surfaces; kind of defeats the purpose I think? My boys also had a weird interaction with a staff near the bathrooms who was very rude to them and accused them of cutting the line, despite no one waiting. It was very strange. Bottom line: the food is incredible, no question. But the service was so bad it's hard to ignore. Best advice, get it to go and skip the experience inside.

Their sauce was good as well and paired nicely with the toppings.

So we ordered a 12 inch pizza half company combo and half carnivore. We also got an order of the sweet chili wings . The sweet chili wings were cool, not bad, but also nothing to brag about. The pizza I was actually disappointed in... it reminded me of pizza from the frozen aisle at the grocery store. It was thin and had a crunch at the bottom. I will say that I like my pizza dough, thicker, so that probably affected my opinion of their pizza as well. Glad I tried it, but don't think I will be back.

I have had Italian chickpea based Farinata before on it's own when I made it at home or inside a delicious sandwich on a connection at the Rome airport and I thought they did a really good job frying the Pannisa here. I also liked the sauce they serve it with here: tart sauce with basil and herbs. I felt the the serving size was small for $8 . I enjoyed trying it here but will probably not get it more than once at that price per serving size. They serve it with cheese typically but I asked for no cheese to make it vegan. The guy that took my order at the window seemed very confused/ weirded out when I asked if they charge a fee to pay with credit card. He generally wasn't very helpful or communicative and seemed generally bothered by questions. He also didn't think to mention they don't have disposable silverware for to go order (my pannisa was drenched in sauce- delicious but I definitely ended up going inside to eat it with a fork). Another staff member seemed more pleasant though and more willing to answer basic questions politely. On another earlier visit I tried their focaccia. It is a sourdough focaccia with roasted red pepper jam, rosemary and garlic. Typically it has ricotta too which I asked to remove. I loved the dough and garlic. The jam was good too, maybe a tad sweet for me though. It reminded me a tad of sweet and sour sauce. They have a margarita pizza without cheese available on the menu too. I didn't try these yet but liked seeing that they served some interesting non alcoholic beverages like cocoa soda with cocoa husk or cola dosa with Guajillo chiles and citrus. From what I tried and seen on the menu it feels that they serve good quality food and drinks. Service can definitely be improved. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out!
