Visted 5/6/12... I have been to Oregano's many times. Another one of those places that I just never got around to writing about I guess. My favorite is the Chicken Pesto Pizza. That is my regular when I go here. But there are many food options. There are several across the valley and I have been to many. I have not had a bad experience at any of them. They tend to be very busy, so be prepard to wait 15-20 to get a table. We were there about 4:30 on Sunday and there was already the beginning of a line. This time, had an exceptional experience. We had finished an order of the Stuffed Mushrooms, huge portabellos with sausage, a side salad, and were almost half way through our pizze (Chicken Pesto of course) when the manager brought out a second pizza. He told us that when he walked by, he did not like how our first one looked, so he made us a second one. I never noticed a problem with the first. Bonus leftover food as a result. Nice to know there is some quality control behind the scenes. Oregano's will always be a go to place for me. read more

AMAZING every single time I go! Here are a few of my favorite things about Oregano's: 1. Their bellinis are delicious! 2. The cheese garlic bread with marinara sauce is the best appetizer ever. The bread is so long, it extends over both ends of the basket. 3. Their Julius Caesar's salad with chicken is the best chicken caesar salad I've ever had. The "junior" size is huge, and it's not like your average chicken caesar salad, where you get a few pieces of chicken on top. Every bite is laden with delicious, juicy chicken that's been seasoned to perfection. 4. All of their thin crust pizzas are great! (Order with extra sauce!) 5. They give kids a mini pizza tin and ball of dough so they can "make" their pizza while they wait. Such a cute idea! 6. For dessert, I highly recommend the "pizzookie" in any flavor. (Tip: you can order half one flavor and half another flavor!) We usually end up with plenty of leftovers, so make sure you come hungry! read more

This is a great place to hang out, whether you are with your entire noisy family or just two adults enjoying some time alone. I have heard that there are many wonderful salads and pastas to try, but we cannot bring ourselves to order anything but the thin crust pizza! It is awesome! read more

Oregano's - Thin crust with Italian sausage, pepperoni, onion, pepperoncini and green olives...unbelievable! - Pizza Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Our server met all of our needs, stayed on top of everything!! The manager Danny came out to greet us and had a nice conversation!! Super friendly and very helpful! Best experience at oreganos! read more

Love Oregano's especially this one. The staff is always so accommodating and no matter how busy they are they've found a way to get us in. The food is outstanding and the bar area is a nice place to just grab a drink. read more

Oregano's Pizza Gilbert What can you say...best pizza joint in the city. You NEVER leave this place without a smile. They have all three of the essential triumvirate of a successful eating establishment - Great Fun Atmosphere, Awesome Food with Ample Selections, & Nearly Perfect Service. My young daughter loves that they give her a glob of pizza doe to play with at the table. She made an octopus on this occasion. I have an Oregano's Beer Mug that I bring in for discounted draft refills. They have an awesome house draft beer which I can't recall the name of it - we'll call it Oregano Brew - anyhow it's a great beer. I love pizza but with some diet restrictions can't usually eat it. Wooohoo...they have thin crust WHOLE WHEAT crust...thanks Oregano's! We had it with pepperonis and their wonderful tasting sausage. I watched as my girls devoured the Oreganos PAZOOOOKIE dessert. If you haven't had this dessert then you just don't know...hands down the best dessert EVER! It's a 1/2 baked chocolate chip cookie in a skillet with homemade vanilla ice cream..wow! Zipps Sports Grill also serves a version of this dessert as well. Service was good besides a couple of waiter blunders. Managent was very friendly and accommodating. Manager Fran (male) is an awesome cat...so if you go ask for Fran and tell 'em Zenn sent ya!!!! read more

Wait list time is inaccurate as the hostess let us know the moment we checked in. No "hello", just a "ya, the wait time is longer than what it says on Yelp". Waited 35 minutes longer than what Yelp told us when we got on the wait list. 85 minutes total. And the hostesses are not friendly about it. So good luck! read more

Maybe we ordered easy to prepare food items, but our food came faster at this location than it has at any other Oregano's location. They have a small bar on the patio outside that is always a good option when the one inside is full. My hubby and I shared the calamari (love the marinara sauce on the side) and the large Pablo Picasso Mexico salad. Do yourself a favor and add extra sautéed onions on top. It adds that little extra crunch and flavor. It is by far big enough for two to share. read more

This is the best pizza I have ever had. Get the deep dish it's incredible, even better than what I had in Chicago. We also had the cheesy bread and the bruschetta which were unbelievable. Alfredo the dark is a fun take on traditional Alfredo with a bit of spice added in. Wait staff is fantastic as well! read more

We were told to head here from multipule people. I usually don't trust people, cuz you are all a bunch of fibbers, but we decided we'd try some pie and head over here. Cheese Bread - a must. If you do not, you might as well go again because you missed out GREATLY. Maybe the best thing about this place is the cheese bread. Pie - It's decent. I have nothing more to say. Service - Above and beyond any other service we had while vacationing in AZ (including the people we stayed with). They acidently screwed up on one half of a pizza we ordered (we didn't even notice) and they came back with a whole Large pie of the kind we ordered. Then, they not only gave us 20% but our whole party of 8! It was unreal since we didn't even ask for it (or notice). That's the kind of serivce that should be everywhere. Atmosphere - Schweet. Very fun, unique, and Chicago style joint in AZ. read more

We love Oreganos! It's kinda hard to choose a favorite menu item because I've never had anything that tasted bad. It's does get a little busy at times and we've had a little slower service on a couple occasions but nothing that would deter me from going back again and again. read more

I get a craving to come here about every other week. Their food is consistently fantastic, even with their large, diverse menu. The pizzas are fresh and unusual (Grandma G's Rosemary Chicken Potato ... potatoes? On PIZZA? Who would have guessed that would be so fantastic?). The pasta is full of garlic and flavor. The wings are crispy and perfect. The sandwiches are huge and tasty. I could go on. I've never had anything there that wasn't terrific! Now, since the food is so good and the atmosphere so fun, and since everyone KNOWS that (due to reviews like the one you're reading now), be prepared to wait. If you get there around 7:00 any given night, you should be prepared to wait about a half hour. If you arrive at the same time on a weekend night, your wait could be over an hour. Parking at the Tempe and Old Town Scottsdale locations is tight (as the Phoenix area tries to grow up and become a real city, this is inevitable, and will be more and more common), but it's better at the Mesa and Gilbert spots. And since the food is fresh, you naturally have to wait longer for food that takes longer to prepare, such as the wings or the deep dish pizzas. Okay, you've been warned. Believe me (and I'm one of Earth's least patient people), the wait will be worth it. read more

Omg the food here is so great. Service is always amazing, so kind and the food is so delicious no matter which location you go to. Enough said! read more

There's plenty of reasons to check out Oreganos. 1. Free cheesy-bread while you are waiting 2. One of a kind Crispy thin crust pizza with amazing toppings 3. Decent drink menu (beer and liquor) 4. The original pazookis! (I heard from a friend this is where it originated, not rock bottom) - it's basically a fresh baked cooked topped with ice cream 5. Free mint and fortune cookies This place is definitely worth checking out. read more

A new family tradition, you can find us here almost any Friday. Best thin crust ever! The wait on a Friday night is a bit much, but there is clearly a reason for that. Oreganos is great about bringing out "teaser" pizza bites and drinks as you wait. read more

This place was great! I was in Arizona last year, visiting some friends, and they took me to Oregano's in Gilbert. We got there around 7 pm on a Sunday evening and decided to sit on the patio. I was scared it would still be too hot, but they had air conditioners blasting outside by the table as well as a misty sprinkler system above the patio. Awesome! We elected to get a Chicago style deep dish pizza which takes like 45 minutes to make, so we just threw back a couple of ice cold draft beers and the pizza was out in no time. Having the deep dish pizza was a treat because we don't really have too many places that specialize in Chicago style pizza on the west coast. The service was outstanding as well. When we were waiting for a table, we went to the bar to get a beer, and the bar tender was on top of his game even though it was chaotic. Our waiter was also very friendly. It turned out that the waiter's fiance was from my home town. Small world. Overall it was a great experience, and I look forward to stopping by again next time I'm in the Phoenix area. 5 out of 5 stars. read more

The food is ALWAYS spectacular and hot. The service is constantly friendly, polite, and people-oriented. I am impressed with the all-around aspects of this Italian restaurant. Beware of the 3 hour waits on Friday and Saturday nights, however. Great place for parties, large groups, or even just a few friends. read more

Cute restaurant. We got the guaca-tony and it was amazing. It was really good guacamole served with super thin cheese crisps. Hard to describe but it was really good. I had the Alfredo After Dark. It was fine, I probably wouldn't get it again. I had a side of sausage which was okay but I prefer the meatballs. My husband had the Shrimp Diablo which he liked (he said it was super spicy). For dessert we had the pizza cookie which was the best thing I have ever tasted. I could eat that pizza cookie every day for the rest of my life. read more

Tremendous food, service and amount of food. Be prepared to be blown away by the quality and quantity of the food here. I wish we had an Oreganos back home in Atlanta. read more

Love this place!!! The service was great and so was the food. The pastas are amazing and even better the next day. The portions are huge so I know I always have lunch for the next day. The family salad is awesome!!! We are all salad lovers and we can actually get a family size salad for a very reasonable price. It's nice to not have to buy separate salads for each person. The pizza is delicious too. We feel like family every time we're there!!! read more

I have been here many times before. Yesterday, I brought my mom who lives out of state. She said this was the best pizza she's ever had. We also had the pizza cookie--if you haven't had this it is a must try. So good! Our service was impeccable. Thanks to Jerry, we had an even better time than expected. He was quick, served us our pizza, was extremely helpful with recommendations. He also took time to show us a catering menu. My mom said yesterday was her favorite meal and time we had. read more

Our group of 35 had tickets to see A Christmas Carol at the Hale Theater and needed a place to eat before the show. I called Oregano's and was fortunate enough to talk to Jane who hooked us up in a beautiful lawn seating area with twinkle lights just steps from the theater. The catering menu was so reasonably priced and diverse. We ordered the Alfredo after Dark which is probably hands down the best pasta dish I've ever had! I loved that the chicken was very finely shredded and the sauce had a kick with New Mexico green chili peppers. The Antipasto Thing salad was delicious with various italian meats and cheeses in the lettuce. And the deep dish Chicago style pizzas were hot and cheesy. Our server Oni was super friendly and efficient. We all had plenty to eat and bags of leftovers to take home. I would definitely recommend Oregano's for your next work party! read more

Really? Who hasn't eaten at Oregano's? Consistently yummy--the meatballs are good (better out of the sub though), sandwiches are good, and the salads are delicious! The Vino Bambino (or something close to that) was super yummy! Chicken, pasta, beans, cilantro, cheese, maters, lettuce, and caesar dressing...Delish! My sweetie-pie even enjoys the Beefy Beefaroni (or something like that) salad. Definitely has a bit of kick to it, but still enjoyable! Only issues we had when we went last night was the number of "enjoy your meals". Holy crap! EVERY employee we walked by (at least 8-9 by the time we reached our table) told us to enjoy. Now, we're all for being friendly, but the line must be drawn! read more

I love Oregano's. The food is awesome. But sometimes the locations are a little "iffy." With that, I give my review of my favorite location, Gilbert. I've been to the ones in Chandler, both Scottsdale locations, Tempe...but by far Gilbert is my favorite locale. Started off with Calamari. I love that Oregano's has their calamari cut into french fry style wedges, and not the rings and tentacles that most places have. The dipping marinara sauce needs a little work though. Then went on to order the Vino Bambino split 4 ways for a dinner salad. To think that this was once taken off the menu? Seriously? It's so good, once it hits the lips. Split a Big Rig and a 'The Lady Is a Scampi.' The size of the shrimp on the LIAS were unbelievable! Could have swore they put Lobster in the dish instead of shrimp. Didn't have room for dessert, and I don't really indulge on sweets as it is (I have a rep and a girlish figure to protect), but I hear rave reviews about them. All in all, good eats in a great atmosphere, with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. read more

This place was the worst Oreganos I have ever been to! I went there today at 2:18PM with my family to celebrate my sons 11th birthday and they didn't even acknowledge me or my family for 10 minutes. There was an older Caucasian lady that came after us and she was imediately taken care of, which made us feel discriminated for being a minority. We decided to leave and call to complain to a manager. After waiting a total of 10 minutes and calling twice, finally a manager named John answered the phone. I told him what happened and he apologized about the service that they provided. We ended up going to the Barrio Queen that was down the street and we were seated right away and our server and food was amazing. They are once more the worst Oreganos I ever been and I will never go there ever again. So disappointed to have been treated that way. read more

Great food as always. Not sure why their rating is lower than surrounding Oreganos. They have always gone above and beyond for my wife and I and this trip (probably our 6th) has been no different. Give them a visit! read more

After hearing all great things about Oregano's I tried it out a few days ago. The Chicago Pan pizza is a good price for what you get. One or two slices is enough to fill you. Their Jalapenos are RED which make it hard to decipher between the big chunks of tomatoes that come on the pizza. So warning if you are trying to split a pizza and someone doesn't like spicy. Skip their 7 zins wine if you are driving. I had only one sip to sample it and I smelled like I polished off a bottle. Go for their pizza cookie instead of their new item of fried dough, its not as tasty as they make it out to be. The pizza cookie is a cookie the shape of a pizza for those of you who have never had one, its good. The best part about Oregano's is that they DON'T sing for you for your birthday. Other places its annoying and gives me a head ache! So go and enjoy a scream-free eventing. read more

We loved it!!! Amazing Bruschetta appetizer! Fresh tomato with just the right amount of onion, garlic, and shredded parm. Toasty biased cut bread. Great! We had the deep dish pizza with pepperoni, mushroom, and black olives! Delicious! Just enough bite to the crust with room for chewy dough also. Amazing flavor in the sauce and oregano. read more

Not a professional establishment. I've never had a chair break on me in a restaurant. I realize that I'm larger than a standard person at 6'3" and 300lbs, but if you serve something titled the big rig geared towards the types you see in a Coppola film, you should anticipate some above average size people. Accidents happen, as a paramedic supervisor I understand that, but a seemingly annoyed manager who does absolutely zero to offer some type of resolve other than "a bag of ice or something," has earned a permanent lost customer. read more

Aside from the recent cockroach infestation that I find totally disgusting, I am a huge fan! The food is awesome and the management and staff are terrific! Please fix the recent nasty business involving rogue cockroaches running up on the walls while attempting to enjoy the food. If it weren't for these recent sightings, this place deserves 5 stars! read more

We normally love oreganos and always have great service. Tonight as soon as we sat down we heard our server, Jack,complain to another server that he hadn't even made $200 tonight, then came over and we said we were just here for dessert tonight. He seemed annoyed but out in the order. We waited a really long time to get our cookie (not a big deal to us) and our waters were empty for almost our entire stay. Finally, another server, Jerry, was nice enough to check on us and he filled our waters and brought us the check. Jack took our order and we never saw him after that! Probably wouldn't come back if it wasn't for Jerry. UPDATE: The GM called me and totally made up for our negative experience. Will definitely be back to try again. Great customer service/management! :) read more

Fun place to hang with large groups. The soda cups are the huge bomb. Gold wings delish. Avocado appetizer is a fam fav. Garlic bread is another fav. And salad is bomb. read more

People stand in the hot AZ in line outside of these Oregano's and I just don't get it. But then again they do the same at Olive Garden. They have OK food and respectable service, even though one of the servers whisked away 2 out of 3 salad bowls while there was clearly over half of one of their large salads quite visible. Then even though we said WHOA the over zealous server (who had his thumb in the eating area of the bowl) tried to put them back down. We insisted he bring new bowls and he couldn't understand why. My sandwich was decent, the pizza I felt very over priced. It's one of those places I'll go back to if friends insist but I will do my best to steer the party to a better restaurant. read more

5 STARS FOR THE HALFBAKED COOKIE AND ICECREAM DESSERT! I know it's all about the pizza here, but honestly I can barely remember it after finishing with that halfbaked wonderfulness. If you get it, SHARE it and definitely go half and half. Half chocolate chip and half white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. That being said. We ordered the stuffed deep dish Numero-One-O pizza, and honestly although it was good, it was just TOO MUCH CHEESE. Once you slice into it, it BLEEDS CHEESE. Sorry to be gross, but the cheese was literally pouring over the side of the pizza tray. I couldn't even get more than one slice down and I am a pizza eater. Seriously. I've won contests. I will go for the thin crust pizzas next time and leave the massive stuffed pies for those who like their cheese through a straw. Overall, great experience. Our server was friendly and put up with my silliness and jokes and even threw in a few herself. We had drinks and wings to start with, so we didn't mind waiting the 45 minutes for the stuffed madness, and the whole evening was just as merry as could be. But, I seriously think the cheese factor needs to be disclosed before allowing someone to order the stuffed pie. Definitely will be back! read more

Shortly after posting my last review I was contacted by a very sweet member of Oregano's customer service department. We were invited back to try the Gilbert location with a certificate for part of a meal. As someone who believes that customer service can make or break a company, we decided to try again. Our last trip a few days ago was much better. We still had a wait for three of us on a Tuesday, but this time our server was right on point and took great care of us. He definitely turned things around and we will be likely to return sometime in the future. Even after having to listen to the hostess loudly talking(and swearing) to her personal friends at the booth next to us for the whole meal. Again, no manager in sight the entire time we were there. We just wanted to thank them for the certificate and compliment our server. This place isn't that big, where are they all hiding? All in all I can appreciate that they took the time to make things right. The wait and foul mouthed hostess kept us from having warm fuzzies about this place but we'll be back to satisfy our pazookie craving soon. read more

Although the service is somewhat slow, its mainly because its so busy. The atmosphere is awesome, and the pizza always tastes really fresh. Be careful. The hot hot wings are very spicy. read more

This review corresponds to my first Check-In to Oregano's. Outside of the wait times, I've not had a bad experience @ Oreganos. The food was good, the people were friendly and I had a good time. This visit was no exception. Even when my wife got meat in her minestrone soup, the situation was handled impressively well. I've known for years that my wife is a VERY picky eater when dining out, she left all smiles and so did I. It's one of few places I go to with "stuff" on the walls that I don't find obnoxious. Keep up the good work. read more

Same thing happened AGAIN from a previous review that I left! Ordered my favorite stuffed pizza and place was dead so figured I wouldn't have to wait an hour plus and to receive the same BURNT TO A CRISP PIZZA that I did back in July. I thought I would give the place another chance and same bad service, same disappointing food result!!! RIDICULOUS!!! I don't know how this location has gone so far down hill I have been there easily 30 times in the past couple years and the last 2 times have been absolutely 1 star service and quality of food. The worst part is is that the bartender both times brings me the pepperoni charred pizza and then is shocked when I say that I can't eat it because it is so bad. It shouldn't have even been placed in front of me but it is what it is. Will definitely find another location to go to and won't be back to this one. The servers and bartenders have been really impersonal and group together and have gossip time instead of taking care of their patrons which adds to the frustration of going there. read more

Theres 2 things i don't like about this restaurant. 1) Waited 57 minutes just to get to my table. 2) The shirts that say "Legalize Marinara". But there are many things that out number those 2 things. The servers are nice and friendly, but when they are busy it seems like they rush. The garlic bread is amazing!!! Maybe the best garlic bread I ever ate. The lasagna was pretty good, but you have to wait 1/2 an hour to get it. The all you can eat pasta bowl was good, like always, and if you can't eat a second bowl you can just bring it home free of charge! The meatball sub was HUGE, my dad could only eat 1/2 the sub! But what kind of trip is it if you don't get the pizza cookie? The pizza cookie is the best dessert ever!!! Words can't describe how good this restaurant is. read more

Our server was outstanding, sweet, prompt and caring. Liked her and will be back just because of her but will not order pasta. The chef was horrible: garlic cheese bread was ok but too heavy. The spinach salad was blah. My Italian lasagna was either over cooked not fresh, it did not taste good sorry. She ordered the uncles sausage pesto and she said it was too heavy and not tasty. Might be a good idea to review these two items on the menu and hold the chef accountable. read more
