    Build Your Own 12" Pizza Gluten Free with sardines, mushrooms, black olives, basil, & pineapple
    Mabel R.

    Nello's is a good option of your in the area and looking for a salad, wings, and pizza. Have been here multiple times. The bar looks cozy as you walk in and if I was by myself, that's probably where I'd go sit. As a party of two on this occasion, we were quickly greeted and sat at a clean booth by the window. The bathrooms are clean and I liked that you can open the door with your foot on the way out. I've had the wings here before and they are delicious. Their salads come in two options and the personal size is good as a starter. I usually opt for the Old World Classic. I really liked that they serve the pizzas hot and the cheese is melting as you pull it apart. Their gluten free pasta is good. I also loved the plastic free leftover boxes they provide. We were able to fit both our leftovers in one box. A few things went wrong on this visit. The restaurant felt a little too cold for me but my hubby most likely appreciated the extra chill. When we ordered our drinks, out server got our orders wrong and that left me concerned. We both ordered salads and while the Nello's dressing is pretty good, the salads themselves are nothing to write home about, leaving something left to be desired. We ordered pizzas and we both agreed they were missing a bit more tomato sauce, especially to balance out the saltiness from my anchovies. For my build your own pizza, I goth the 12" gluten free crust, then added mushrooms, black olives, basil, pinneapple, & anchovies. I opted for the anchovies as my protein because I was in a pescatarian mood and this was a $5 add on. I've had good anchovies before so I knew the potential flavor profile. The sardines were so salty, the saltiness overpowered all the flavors. While the pinnacle helped tame that saltiness, I think some acidity from some extra tomato sauce would have helped add balance. The flavor was good but I just couldn't get over the extra salt. Next time, I would ask for extra sauce. Ultimately, for how much we paid and our overall experience, we both felt Spinatos is a much better place.

    Review is for takeout only. Will update after dining in person for full experience. Just moved to the area and decided to order takeout after moving all day. I got the Margherita 8" crispy and hubby got the Nellos wings and a Caesar salad. The pizza was the perfect single serving size, the crust was perfectly crispy, and the ingredients all tasted fresh. I will have to get a bigger pie next time because I want more of the center to indulge in all the flavors! The hubby said the wings are the typical wings you expect from a pizza place and he enjoyed the Nellos sauce and the slight char on the wings. Salad was good too. Definitely excited to come back and try other items and experience the restaurant dine in experience.

    Brought my friends from out of town to Nello's and a great time was had by all. Our server was prompt, friendly and super patient when we needed more time to order because of catching up. Everyone (even the kids) loved their meals and it was nice to share a meal at one of our favorite places.

    This was our first visit to Nello's in a long time! Why we stopped going across the freeway I don't know because it was FANTASTIC! For starters we made it for happy hour and received $2 off Specialty Cocktails. The cucumber jalapeños and prickly pear were both delicious and refreshing. We ordered the Sajone pizza--topped with house sausage, Schreiner's Pavone pepperoni, grilled radicchio, fresh mozzarella, and a touch of sage. The flavors were incredible! The savory sausage and pepperoni paired perfectly with the slight bitterness of the radicchio. The sage added just the right hint of earthiness that tied everything together. Service was friendly and efficient and the restaurant looked clean. Can't wait for the weather to cool down and enjoy the patio with the dogs. This place has been around for years, and it's easy to see why!

    STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND READ THIS--Portillo's at 7200 W Ray Rd in Chandler Has Just Redefined…read more"Heaven on a Plate" with the BIG BEEF DIPPED and That CHEESE SAUCE... OMG! I've had Italian Beef before. I've loved Italian Beef before. But nothing--NOTHING--prepared me for the transcendent, jaw-dropping, flavor-explosion experience that is ordering the Big Beef DIPPED at this Chandler location. If you haven't done it yet, you haven't lived. And if you've had it elsewhere but haven't had it here with their cheese sauce... well, buckle up, because you're about to discover your new favorite thing on the entire planet. From the second you walk into Portillo's on Ray Road, you can smell the magic--crisp sport peppers, rich au jus, and that unmistakable aroma of slow-roasted beef that makes your stomach growl instantly. But the real moment of truth comes when you look that server in the eye and say: "I'll take the Big Beef, DIPPED, LOADED with cheese sauce. And I mean loaded." Watch their face light up--they know. They understand. This is not just a sandwich; it's a ritual, and this location performs it with reverence. Then it arrives. Oh. My. Goodness. The bread is drenched--and I mean perfectly, gloriously drenched--in that deep, savory au jus, so every inch is saturated with rich, beefy flavor. It's not soggy; it's luscious. It's a sponge for joy. And then... the cheese sauce. Sweet, spicy, velvety, liquid gold--it's like someone took pepper jack, dreams, and a touch of heaven and whipped it into a creamy, molten ribbon that cascades over every millimeter of that dipped bread and tender, shreddy beef. The first bite is not just a meal--it's a religious experience. The crunch of the giardiniera, the pop of a sport pepper, the warm, juicy beef, the cheese sauce pulling in golden strands... it's an OMG moment so intense you might actually forget your own name for a second. You'll hear yourself making sounds you didn't know you could make. You might cry a little (happy tears). You might order a second one before you've even finished the first. And here's the thing--the Chandler location executes this with flawless, almost artistic precision. The line moves fast, the staff is smiling, and they don't skimp. They don't hold back on the beef, they don't drizzle the cheese sauce like it's an afterthought--they PILE IT ON with pride. You can tell this team lives for these moments. They're not just serving food; they're delivering pure, unadulterated happiness. Even the atmosphere feels electric--like everyone in the room knows they're about to have their day made. You'll see strangers nodding at each other in mutual respect over their sandwiches. You'll hear "OMG!" echoed across the dining room (seriously). And when you finish that Big Beef Dipped--cheese sauce glistening on every corner, not a drop of au jus left--you'll sit back with a food coma smile so wide it hurts, already plotting your next visit. Bottom line: If you are within 50 miles of 7200 W Ray Rd, you have no excuse. Go. Right now. Order the Big Beef DIPPED with EXTRA cheese sauce. Thank me later. And maybe bring a napkin--because that cheese sauce is so good, you're going to want to lick every last drop off your fingers. Five stars? Try FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS PLUS A STANDING OVATION! This is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to be this good.

Grilled chicken is an add-on, which I paid for, so that was frustrating. I got back in line to fix it. The remake came with no chicken and no blue cheese, but I'd already put dressing on the first one and could see where someone had picked the blue cheese out. Still no chicken either time. Today I tried the drive-thru. No one was taking orders at the speaker. After about five minutes I pulled up to the window and waited another five. Nobody came out or acknowledged me, so I left. I get why other Portillo's locations have lines around the block and this one doesn't. It feels mismanaged and like the staff just doesn't care. Shorter, review-site friendly version Two bad visits in a row at this Portillo's. 1. Ordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken, no blue cheese. Got blue cheese, no chicken. The remake had no blue cheese but still no chicken, and you could tell the cheese had been picked out of the original. 2. Drive-thru today: no one at the speaker for 5 minutes. Pulled to the window, waited another 5 minutes. No response, so I left. Other Portillo's are packed for a reason. This location seems mismanaged and understaffed.
