We were on the hunt for…read moresomething FAST to eat near Buc-ee's because we knew we needed to fuel up before facing those massive lines and the wait at the new popular gas station. We landed at Taste of Italy in Goodyear, and honestly... solid choice! This is a legit NY-style pizzeria with all the usual suspects. We tried the Meat Lovers pizza, a cheese slice, and a pepperoni calzone -- and every single one landed at about an 8/10. The cheese slice was the first clue that we might be onto something. The crust was crisp and firm but still had that perfect little flop at the tip. True NY style! You could tell the dough was fresh, and the flavor was definitely there. You order at the counter, they bring everything to your table, and the turnaround was quick. Everything came out piping hot, the staff was friendly, and the restaurant was clean. It's not a huge space, but it's a comfortable size for a neighborhood pizzeria. Nothing overly fancy.....just good pizza, good food and good service. Definitely a solid spot to keep in mind when we're in the Goodyear area. Taste of Italy gets the thumbs up from us!

5 stars all the way! Argentos Pizza has become one of my favorite spots in Buckeye. The pizza is…read moreamazing, the service is always friendly, and the owner is an awesome person who truly cares about his customers and the community. I saw a few reviews complaining about the wings, and honestly, I don't get it. Their wings are made with organic, hormone-free chicken, and they're absolutely delicious. You can taste the quality and the difference compared to typical frozen wings. I love supporting small businesses, especially ones that put this much effort into their food and customer service. If you're in Buckeye and haven't tried Argentos Pizza yet, you're missing out. Keep up the great work!

I notice it can get quite busy around dinner time so I'd recommend reservations are expect to wait. The location is pretty small, but offers indoor and outdoor seating. We lucked out and were seated right away at a nice table near the back. After looking over the menu for a minute, we decided to try their pepperoni pizza, garlic bread, as well as a Caesar salad salad. We also ordered a few drinks. Service was friendly and it was a little noisy with a large party and a few other tables but still quite enough to have nice conversation. It's quite nice inside but doesn't feel overly fancy. I liked that we could see the cook making her pizza and putting it in the fire burning oven everything that came out to other tables looked delicious and smelled heavenly. We're already talking about when we're gonna come back and try so many things. The pizza is thin crust delicious, and didn't feel heavy after we were done eating. It was gluten-free . I don't have issues with gluten, but the pizza was just delicious. My husband said it was one of the best Caesar salads. He's had the garlic bread was good as well.

My husband and I had been once before for our anniversary and the food was incredible. Tonight really showed how much heart and love goes into this restaurant when a little boy peaked out from behind the wall & asked if my kids wanted to play with him as we waited to be seated. After making sure it was okay with who I'm assuming is the owner & family of the little boy, my kids went to the table he was at to color and play with him. Everyone was so kind and gracious with my kids, and the little boy Sebastian was the highlight of our night. He was such a sweet kid & the best little host. My kids had a great time with him as we waited for our food. I got the carbonara, my dad got the chicken pesto & my husband got a 3 meat penne. The kids got chicken tender and fries. Each dish was delicious and tasted authentic. The bruschetta dip was amazing. My husband doesn't normally like bruschetta, but how the flavors were balanced had him eating most of it. The bread was perfect, crisp outside with a softer inside. My carbonara was creamy and flavorful. Most carbonara upsets my stomach because of dairy (but I still order it anyway because it's my favorite), but how they made it here left me feeling satisfied without an upset stomach which is a huge win in my book! It warmed my heart to feel like my kids were welcomed in a restaurant with open arms when many restaurants view kids in general as a burden. We will definitely be back! Personally, we've never been to a restaurant that provided this quality of service and hospitality in addition to the best Italian food we've had at a more than reasonable cost! 10/10 recommend this to anyone!

Italian Restaurant located in Downtown Avondale. The…read morerestaurant is cute and the decorations are on theme for an Italian restaurant, but are not cheesy. They compliment the culture extremely well, and help set the atmosphere. When we went for lunch on a Sunday, it was pretty empty (only 1 other table). I would recommend not worrying about the low attendance. I think this has to do more with the fact that Downtown Avondale tends to be pretty empty. I think that they would do really well and be a lot busier if they were in a different location. The service was amazing, our server was attentive and gave out really good recommendations. While all the food was delicious...the free bread was my favorite. It was perfectly toasted and seasoned and included a brushetta topping on the side. I could have just ate that and would have been extremely happy. We ordered an appetizer of Calamari, it was a good portion size for the cost. The Calamari was well seasoned and crispy. I ordered the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli. It was flavorful with large pieces of mushroom mixed with the sauce. Even though it was a white cream sauce, the dish was suprisingly light, I would recommend trying it. The other two people I was with both ordered the Frutti de Mare. There was a good mixe and amount of seafood in the dish and the pasta was cooked perfectly. While the marinara sauce was good, I don't think it was something that was out of this world. I just think it needed a little more seasoning or some kind of kick to round it out. Overall, great restaurant and would recommend.

If you're staying at the Wigwam Resort and your niece and her husband, who live in the Phoenix…read morearea, drop by and also bring three friends, getting a couple large pizzas and a strawberry & bacon salad from Papa Paul's will save you a bunch of money over treating them all to dine at the restaurant/bar at the resort. Both pizzas were interesting. The Lichfield Park pizza has pesto sauce and corn on it, as well as cheese, so you might get a slice of that after your "guests" scarf their first helping. You better grab a slice of the Brooklyn pizza right away, though, because it's a traditional-looking pizza with pepperoni and sausage. You won't get a second shot at a slice. You'll get to finish the rest of the "adult" strawberry & bacon salad, though, with spinach instead of lettuce, walnuts, strawberries, and bacon bits. It doesn't come with ranch or even ranch-colored dressing, so they might not risk trying a pinkish salad dressing as a dip for their pizza crust. It's a very good salad and helped my vacation digestion, since I'm not used to the 110° August heat. Papa Paul's Pizza is less than a mile away from my room at the Wigwam. Going there would even be walkable in the summer heat if the fences around the Wigwam had pedestrian gates. As it is, both driveway gates on that corner of the Wigwam are slotted through the perimeter fence far from the place where Papa Pauls and the resort are just across the street from each other. I'm too delicate for a 0.9-mile walk in that much sun. I enjoyed a glass of wine at the bar to rehydrate, though, while I waited for the pizzas to come out of the oven.

Limited wine list for an Italian restaurant. We started with a caesar salad to split - SO much cheese, it was too much. I understand some people like that, but I wish they would have lightened up the amount and just have people ask for more if they want that. I ordered the chicken & broccoli alfredo. Sauce was clearly made in house, but the pasta itself was generic and did not taste like it was homemade. Good amount of protein though. We also ordered the mango and classic cannolis, and these stole the show. Flaky to perfection! If we come back, we might try the pizzas to see how it compares to the pasta.

We've been driving by this restaurant for a while and since it was on the way home we popped in. We were greeted instantly and immediately shown to a booth. My mother wanted lasagna, so we ordered that first thing with our drinks while my sister and I browsed the menu. She ordered the chicken parmesan. I'm on the carnivore diet, so I ordered the meatballs with a chicken side. (So many restaurants don't make it possible to accommodate carnivore diets, but they did! So, I eat out with my family more often now!) Everything was delicious. The food was delicious, fresh and my mother especially enjoyed the olive oil with balsamic vinegar that came with the bread. (Great quality olive oil, a beautiful and rich green color.) Everyone was friendly. Our server, who happened to be tending the bar as well, very graciously made me a raspberry mojito without mint because I have mint allergies. He was the FIRST bartender to make it without questioning it and it was PERFECT! Lovely service, great atmosphere, food was delicious and fresh. We're certainly looking forward to coming here again!

Well, I finally did and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. For starters, the town square square is picturesque, with a pretty little park at the end of the street. There was plenty of parking, so no hassles there. We were warmly greeted and promptly seated by the receptionist. The place has a modern upbeat feel, that is inviting and mood improving at the start. I especially love the garage doors that open to the outside on mild days. They had one open during our visit, which really opens the place up to the beautiful town square view. There was a great special going on that featured that included a Filet Mignon, Lobster Tail, Salad and Cheesecake. I had my mind made up before even entering. I thought the price on it was very reasonable. In addition to the all of the other great things, we had a server named Todd, who was not only a great server, but who seems to genuinely enjoy the people that he serves. He was attentive and friendly throughout. He really made us feel appreciated and special. Now the food. It was fantastic! My filet was perfectly cooked and the lobster tail, sweet and wonderful , nicely served with a fully loaded baked potato. In addition to a great entree, my Caesar salad was one of the best I've ever had and included crouton toast and a slice of pancetta. My wife had a Caprese salad, gigantic shrimp and pasta. We both enjoyed everything. Last, it was nice to see the owner and Chef out in the crowd visiting with his customers. That is a good sign that a business cares about their customers. Tempo Urban Bistro is truly something special and different. It is so nice to have a place like this nearby without driving to the opposite side of Phoenix. Yep, these good folks will see me again!
