Great pizza I just still miss the wings but it's okay the rest of the food is great which makes up for it lol. The salads and sandwiches are so good try them alllll read more

We just had our 2nd visit to Nellos and have to say that this place rocks! Both of our visits have been during the pandemic. We felt safe each time! They are going above and beyond with sanitation. One person is dedicated strictly to sanitize booths, door handles and touched areas. Our server this last visit, I didn't catch his name, was tall with lots of curls! He was friendly and efficient! We tried the gluten free pizza and it was delish! Wine was very good and at a happy hour price! A neighborhood feel! read more

Fantastic pizza, very nice service. Have had dinner both I. The restaurant and for pick up and would strongly recommend. The BBQ and Pepperoni Pineapple are wicked delicious. Great for family dinner! read more

We have been coming here for years. Loved their daily special salads and their risottos!!! Well they stopped the risottos a while ago and now no pastas?!!!? Really- I know times are tough but this place is was always busy!!!! So disappointed- but like many businesses in Arizona- they don't know how to stay vital. read more

We could argue all day about who makes the best pizza in town but Nellos makes a pizza that I really like. I really need to try something else but every time I go in I get the same original crust 8" pizza and it is consistently good. They have a lot of great looking things on their menu which is simple and easy to read through. They have spaghetti that my daughter really likes and they are willing to serve the sauce and meatball that comes with it separately because you know how kids are. They also have a reasonable sized beer/drink menu which makes it much easier to choose something without taking all night. The last two times my daughter and I were in we got the same server and she remembered what my daughter ordered the previous time and how she liked the things separate which is pretty awesome. I find that the servers here have pretty good timing with their tables which is refreshing and I never feel rushed. I can't be entirely sure but some of the decor seems to be left over from an Asian themed restaurant mixed with neon signs and music from a 50's drive in diner ... and I like it! The acoustics and noise level allow for loud conversation without the table next to you making out what you are saying but it is not overwhelming. I guess you could say even with open seating arrangements it is acoustically cozy. Oh yeah, the pork wings are a must have! read more

Amazing! Just moved to PHX from Cali and this place is a must do for any newbies and I'm sure the locals are already hooked! You must try the pork wings! Fantastic wine list and beers on draft. read more

Food was mediocre. Service was most disappointing. Didn't get water or a server for 20 minutes when the restaurant was dead. Had to ask for a server and it took 10 more minutes. Got one water refill and that's it. Server did not care about us until we were having to tip her. 18% was EXTREMELY GENEROUS for the service we were given. Will stick to takeout if I ever return. read more

Nellos never disappoints. It's always 5 stars. Definitely one of the top pizza establishments in the area. One one comes close to the Nellos style. The ingredients are phenomenal! read more

We love Nello's pizza - been going there for more than 14 years now. They've been bought out by new owners, but I'm happy to say that everything seems to be the same - quality ingredients, prompt and friendly service and a great beer list. I like the thin crust, but my wife loves a thick crust. So we end up with two pizzas. read more

A great place to get good pizza with fresh ingredients. The seating is ample with music just loud enough to be heard but not distracting. The pizzas had a great flavor. I had the bbq chicken and wow I really enjoyed it. The cheese pulled nicely, and the chicken had great flavor. My wife had the classic European. She reports it had a good crust and enjoyed the fresh mozzarella and the sausage was perfect. 8" personal is more than sufficient to fill you up. If I had any critiques, it would be 1) the chunks of chicken could have been smaller (a few bites were rather large) 2) I had to ask the water to bring me a second glass of water and he seemed distracted. Other than that, a good experience. read more

Love Nellos! Please open in the West Valley!!!!i Miss your pizza!!! Northwest Valley is growing so can move out!!!! read more

Tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago and it was delicious! It's a little pricey but well worth it!

I can't speak for all their food, as I have a gluten allergy, and would really like to see more gluten free options on their menu or at least indicated as such. I did however, have this bomb salad, that had me craving more for days- the section under market specials- they had a great market salad. I believe that section changes periodically and I cannot remember the name, but it was fresh, very filling and the perfect amount of dressing. I always give Nello's menu a look when considering dinner in Ahwatukee, to you should too! read more

I normally don't leave reviews but I was extremely disappointed in my service yesterday. I walked in with my son and was immediately sat. I waited for about 15 minutes before I finally stopped the hostess walking by to ask who our server was. She apologized and grabbed a server. It was a girl who walked by our table several times so I'm assuming she didn't know we were her table. At that point we were ready to order. We ordered and she never stopped by to check on us again. Not until I stopped her and asked her for another drink. The food took awhile which I was okay with since I saw they were busy. We were served our food by another gentlemen, he was very nice. I noticed when I got my pasta it looked dry like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. It was stiff and stuck together so I'm not sure how long it sat. It wasn't very appetizing but that may be because it sat for a while. My son enjoyed his food. I saw our server check on her other tables around us multiple times but didn't ask if we needed anything until the end of our meal when she noticed we were done and asked if I needed a box. read more

I wish this place wasn't so far! I try to make a special visit when I'm in the general vicinity because I am obsessed with their food. I'm not too thrilled with their happy hour food menu but their regular menu is priced fairly so it's no issue there. I usually get the turkey pesto panini which comes with cranberries inside. Delicious. They have good fries here too, so I get that as my side. Their thin crust pizza is NOT thin, it's very regular to thick. If you want thin crust, order the gluten free. I know sometimes gluten free items can taste a little funny - but not this! It's really good. FYI - they are closed on Mondays. read more

Love Nello's pizza! Everything is always great at the Ahwatukee location. Definitely the best pizza in the area.

Outstanding pizza! Randomly discovered this place and so glad I gave it a shot. Our group enjoyed the covered patio seating with misters. The pizza was one of the best I've ever had and salad was loaded with tons of fresh toppings and ingredients. I will be back! read more

There used to be a location by us but it closed years ago! I was so happy to find this location was still there! It didn't disappoint! Great COVID protocols too. Pizza crusts get you started off right! Can't wait to get back again read more

I have been a frequenter and a long standing community member (over 26 years) and will have to say since the new ownership this place has changed a lot. First of all the opening manager on Father's Day was very curt rude and condescending. She sat us down however not even mention anything about our server will be rt with you or any type of an acknowledgment. The hostess a few minutes later comes and tell us can i get you something to drink and your waitress is ... (I will not put her name as she wasn't the issue at all she was a great server) she'll be right with you. Well it took our server about 20 minutes to come to our table. I wasn't rude or condescending to her I said oh thank you I was about to ask who our waitress was as we have been sitting here for 20 minutes and there's only three other tables that are seated the place was pretty quiet as it had opened. Then I managed to ask for the Father's Day special promotion they had. She came back and said my manager said that there is a limited supply and it is only for the first 100 dads that dine with us and have a reservation - I said we are dining with you and we do have a reservation and btw I am a mom and a dad to my kids as I am the only adult in the household . She said I'll have to check with my manager. In the mean time while our server is talking to us the manager has already sat down the table next to us and had a conversation with them. Seeing that I am asking our server questions as a manager and customer service one should approach the table to see if there is anything they can do to help or assist with. NOPE NOTHING GOT A SNARKY LOOK AND WALKED AWAY. Then our server says I'll ask my manager and see what she says as she was very adamant that Is was only for the first 100 dads I said ok well by the looks of how busy you are and we're the third table here I am number 3 and with a reservation. As they start getting busier the manager kept coming back to the table next to us around 3-4 times all well knowing what we wanted and looking for since our server had already mentioned it to her not once even acknowledging or approaching us we are the table rt next to them. Our server takes out order I am very observant as the manager is being very friendly to all other except our table (by now I am being discriminated against and felt that she wanted nothing to do wit us) very standoffish and not even being what a manager should be in a customer based environment. You have a promotion going on and it is promoted and now you're not going to provide what you offer due to your own rules. Btw we did order an appetizer and two meals and it wasn't like we were going to eat anything or just eat the special like probably most people did - however the mistreatment and the very visible and apparent lack of not wanting to take care of one tables concerns didn't seem too important to her. Since the new ownership the place has gone down hill. I have been there a few times since the new ownership a few times and I would say this was the worst experience and the. The nerve to put your server up to tell the paying customer "we have a limited supply on hand for o it the first 100 with reservations" is a bunch of BS. I will also say that the meatball appetizer is not at all what it used to be very bland sauce and wouldn't order it again. Our burger combo came with a very small amount of fries usually we get a lot more that what we got. I then said "oh maybe the have a limited supply of French fries since that's today's burger special". I tried reaching out to the restaurant by social media messenger and as well as calling - I know they'd probably have a busy day since it was Father's Day and gave them the opportunity to rectify this and it was not acknowledged so here is my post then. Oh and btw yea I f Got the special that they advertised but in the mean time the flas was dirty it looked like they had gone and taken it out of the shed it was dusty ext and there was a dead bug in it. While all other tables had nice shiny clean glasses handed to them as they walked in. So now it makes me wonder what other bugs are around if if that was out there purposefully. read more

I've only been here once, but I was unimpressed by the pizza. We had the Deluxe pizza, my girlfriend was not pleased with the raw vegetables on it. I found it average in regards to the sauce, dough and was underwhelmed by the sausage and pepperoni. Our waitress was also lacking in attention. I'd consider giving this another try with thin crust of a different style however. read more

Please do not order the eggplant parmesan! It is quite bad. It looks like a badly treated leather belt and has no flavor. On the outside it looks fine but the inside is plain awful. I dont ever put a dish down unless it is really bad. Well it is. The highlight is the side pasta topped with a pomadoro sauce which is quite tasty. I've had a pizza here before and it was great. I will return to Nello's but will stay clear of their yucky eggplant parmesan. read more

My wife and I went there for dinner and was it was quite dissappointing. We were seated by the hostess when we arrived and was told our server would be right over. 10 minutes later I had to go back to the hostess and asked if anyone was going to take our order. Our waitress finally showed up to our table apologizing. My wife had the eggplant parmigiana and I had the chicken parmigiana. My dish was ok but nothing to write home about. My wife's dish consisted of a lot of breading and little or no eggplant. A very tasteless dish. We've been to Nello's before and had their pizza. It was excellent. I'll give them a mulligan on the no waitress. It could have easily been a miscommunication. We'll definitely go back but will stick with pizza but stay away from their entrees. read more

6/15/10 Friend and I ordered take-out: an Arugula salmon couscous salad and a small Four cheese (mozz, romano, fontinella, and feta). I believe I also requested ricotta on it. The salad was excellent, although I wished all of the ingredients used were listed on the menu- I had to fish out a couple of troublesome items. The pizza was fantastic! And this was after we let it sit for awhile. (I love my thin-crust pizzas hot, very crispy and fresh-- not cold nor stale, and if it's the least bit soggy, I am heartbroken.) But Nello's was definitely a hit tonight! I kicked myself for waiting all this time to go back for another taste. I'll be returning VERY soon!

Nello's Ahwatukee - Couscous salad and small four cheese pizza. - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I have this taste in my mouth of what a margherita pizza should taste like. I've been in search of it for years. Sadly, this place did not measure up to what I had in mind but it was still delicious pizza. Everything taste fresh, the sauce, the dough, the toppings, yum! I've been here twice, once for lunch and another time for a takeout order. Everything went smoothly on the take out order, while I waited I got to see the kitchen staff in action, they really work hard! When I came in for a sit down meal, the food and service were great. It did take a long time to get our food though so I don't recommend coming here for lunch if you're on a time crunch. They get very busy. read more

I have to give props to Mo who works at this location of Nellos pizza. I came in today with a school group and she was amazing. She took care of us without hesitation and was great with the kids. Things can get a little messy with our bunch, but she didn't seem to mind at all. The service was incredible. The food is nothing crazy special... Decent pizza, very tasty house salad dressing. Everything seemed fresh. I would recommend this restaurant and thank you again Mo! read more

Nellos Pizza is our Friday night treat. Love their offering of 8in pizzas! I usually get the thin crust but my husband got the original crust the other night, and the pizza looked even more amazing. Their antipasto salad comes with equal amount of ingredients and tastes absolutely delicious with their white balsamic vinaigrette. I also tried their meatball sub a couple weeks ago and that was also 5 stars. I'm on my way to try every single food item here because they're just that good. read more

I used to live in The Tuk ( Ahwatukee) and missed Nello's. The tomato cheese bread was as good as I remembered. We got a side marinara to dip it in and it is well worth the side charge for it. Although they are known for their pizzas don't overlook the sandwiches and salads. I had the parlor burger. I got a medium it was so juicy and delicious and for my toppings I chose bacon, sautéed mushrooms, and their homemade mozzarella cheese. It was fantastic! The fries were not the hottest temp so they loose some zing, but that happens everywhere. The food runner dropped a cup of ketchup and it landed in the lap of the guest across from me. Some hit my shirt and there was a little bit tension but we laughed it off because the food was delicious. The tiramisu was good. I like it soggier but they are consistent. The only bad part. After the ketchup incident hitting over 66% of the people at the table no one came by to see if we were OK or ask if they could do anything for us. The food runner gave us a bunch of napkins but that was it. I'm guessing the food runner didn't tell the server or a manager. I only rate places on food, not service so they still got 4 stars. read more

This was one of the first restaurants we discovered when we moved to Ahwatukee and have been going back ever since. Very well priced and have great specials that are original and usually locally based. Our family always gets the pizza crust with cheese and marinara as an appetizer. Some of our favorite dishes are the chicken Gorgonzola salad, couscous salad, grinder sandwich, and any of their pizzas. I really really wish they would bring back their bruschetta items that they limited during Covid. The PBJ was to die for! read more

Caprese appetizer was amazing! All the items were fresh and delicious. Great service by Roxanne! We will definitely be back for more! read more

Happy Hour is the best! $3 drafts and cheap appetizers. We ordered way too much food here and had to take a fair amount home (which made delicious leftovers). For $1, we got roasted olives in a bowl...I could've eaten that all night long. We also got Cheesy Garlic Bread. For entrees we tried the pesto pasta with meatballs, and the Fungji & Formaggio pizza. Everything we ate was delicious! And it was just as good the next day! The service was great - our server was knowledgeable about the food and helped us get creative in our pasta choice! read more

Nello's Ahwatukee - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I am here so much, I have to give them that fifth star! While the pizza might not be unanimously voted the best in all of the world (although it has received plenty of recognition), it is still pretty effing good. They have great combinations of quality toppings. I love the thin crust, I love they have a different, creative market special every week. They have Four Peaks on tap. $3 Guinness on Happy Hour. The salads are delicious. I crave the house dressing and the white balsamic. The staff is top notch, totally cool and friendly, and really take the time to get to know their customers. It is great for families, for cool, casual dates, and low-key gathering of friends. This is combination of qualities, and the fact that I am usually there once a week, Nello's in Ahwatukee really is as good as it gets and will continue to be one of my go-to restaurants. read more

Wow! I've never had pizza on a cracker before! Ok, it wasn't an actual cracker, but that's how they should have advertised it. The crust was the weirdest crust I have ever had. I couldn't stop laughing, it was so bizarre. It was the stiffest, hardest, blandest crust I've ever eaten. It's a shame, too because the ingredients were on point. The marinara, pepperoni and cheese were all fresh and delicious. I just wish we could have enjoyed it on a different crust. read more

Been enjoying Nellos for close to 25 years and have always enjoyed the atmosphere and food. I truly used to enjoy they're wood fired pizza but it has been less than disappointing the last several years. Their salads and their amazing dressing continue to be solid as does their lasagna. If you do try their pizza then I recommend avoiding the thin crust and stick to their original read more

I've been a customer for over 20 years and I always ranked Nello's pizza as some of the best in the Valley. Well, sadly it no longer is. The last 2 pizzas I recently ordered were awful. If you look at some of the pictures on this site, you'll see copious amounts of ingredients, especially the cheese. Those pictures are no longer representative. The recent pies I ordered were nothing like that. The ingredients were scarce and the formerly delicious crust was like cardboard. I have no intensions of ever going back. read more
