I got their Hot Lemon recently and it was HEAVEN! I normally get the Mild, Garlic Parm or BBQ. We also get the Cajun Corn & it hits everytime! Service: The Service is where my rating drops but I don't want to give them 4/5 stars. The manager we've seen when we go is fantastic! We go at night so the manager who works nights is amazing! The employees overall are a mix of excellent but sometimes too nonchalant. I ordered Lemon Hot & Garlic Parm the last time I went and we noticed when we got home they gave us Lemon Pepper instead of Garlic Parm which was very disappointing as I'm not huge on Lemon Pepper - It's the Dry Rub. But overall, they don't get the order wrong often, that was a rare situation. I didn't bother calling because we aren't close enough to just drive back quickly enough. Ambiance: As I said, we go at night so typically when we get there we see a bunch of kids hanging around. It's a chill vibe. The employees are more relaxed at night I'm assuming.

These aren't those sad, frozen eggrolls your questionable college roommate microwaved at 2 AM. These are HANDMADE, HOMEMADE masterpieces. Crispy on the outside, pure joy on the inside. My wife couldn't stop talking about them. I'm talking pillow-conversation-length monologues about eggrolls. The pho? Absolutely incredible. It's like they figured out the secret code to perfectly balanced broth and decided to keep it all to themselves (but jokes on them, we found out). Fresh rolls were solid, but let's be real--the eggrolls are the MVP here. BUT HERE'S THE KICKER: The service. I've eaten at a lot of restaurants. A LOT. And I'm convinced the staff at Pho Legend invented friendliness. These folks treated us like long-lost family members, not customers. No pretense, no "we're rated high so deal with it" energy--just genuine, authentic warmth that made us feel like we belonged there. Go. Now. Your taste buds and your heart will thank you.

I am not a big pizza person. I'm actually really picky when it comes to pizza. I grew up on the east coast where pizza is just not the same as it is out here. I love New York style pizza that's fold-able, made from scratch in a big brick oven, and none else. When Gio's opened up, my life was complete! They have so many varieties of pizza, salad, and now sandwiched and wings! My husband and I can't get enough of Gio's. His favorite is the buffalo, mine is the eggplant. They heat up your pizza for you so it's piping hot and amazing. Not only is the pizza my definition of perfection, but the staff here are what make me come back again and again. They are all very friendly, and genuinely care about what they do. Gotta love a good, family owned place with amazing food and service! They are closed Sunday and Monday. I do wish they had more seating. There's only a couple small tables, and that's it. I think they should expand, and more importantly they should DELIVER! read more

I think I am seriously gonna need to buy a few different wigs just to disguise myself because I plan on coming here a LOT! I can't believe there is a piece of New York in Arizona less than a mile from my mom's house. Every time I come visit my family, I know exactly where I am going! The Sicilian corner slice of cheese pizza couldn't let me down even if it wanted to! AND...I love how friendly and personable the staff is. They are always so warm and so welcoming! Thank you for making the most amazing pizza I have had in my entire life! I will be seeing you again sooner than later! :) read more
