Delicious appetizers while you wait 20 for main course. I've been to this location and many others a lot of times and I am always happy to be there. It's the way they greet you like they are so happy to see you, the way they say goodbye like they can't wait for you to come back and the way they serve you like it's been their dream job. The food is always on point and I have never had a bad experience. I've tried the Pablo Picasso salad, a large lovely salad with tortilla strips, spicy chicken, cheese, pico de gallo and spicy dressing (available in a smaller size). The Alfredo the Darkwith chicken, pasta with alreado, pico de gallo, and a spicy salted jalapeno (always take home leftovers). The last time I was there the waitress was pretty MIA but that was a first ever. I'm sure she was just having a rough day and let's face it, SERVERS ARE HUMAN TOO! I will definetely be back regardless. 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

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

See all

Apparently, the list of things I don't seem to get continues to grow longer. I ended up here for a group event...16 folks at 5 PM. Put name on list and the wait started. At 5:45 PM hostess came out and asked us if we'd take a back to back table that should be ready in 20 minutes or so. The other option was to wait for a larger outside table but it wouldn't be ready until 6:50 PM or so. Yeah right I think I'll take what's behind door number 1. 20 minutes comes and goes...no table. 6:30 PM comes...they seat a table of 18, that arrived after us at an outside table. WTF??!!! 6:55 PM they seat us at the back to back table. WTF???!!!! Ok so I waited for close to 2 hours to be seated. Let me get right to the point...the food here isn't worth a 2 hour wait. Its not worth a 1 hour wait. Its not worth a 1/2 hour wait. A word about the pesto. Unscrew the top off a salt shaker and dump the contents in your mouth. Same flavor as the pesto...albeit no basil. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

Wait was a little long and hot....no duh we live in AZ. Jason made it all great for us! He was an excellent waiter, and his customer service skills were top notch. All our food was great, and he even got our kids food out ASAP. Will definitely come back to this location. read more

We had another great visit at Oregano's! Yes, there is usually a wait but we don't mind. We put in our order for the deep dish pizza, grab a couple drinks, and enjoy ourselves. The service, specifically the servers, are top notch. Every single one I've come in contact with is friendly and outgoing, and it really makes a positive impression on us. Hope to be back soon for a pizzookie!! 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

For years I had wanted to try this chain but never wanted to wait. After finally going I really don't understand why the big fuss. The food is decent, sure. But after waiting 30+ minutes for a table, to be told anything signature (like deep dish pies, lasagna, etc) are an additional 45 minute wait after ordering it can be frustrating to say the least. We weren't able to decide on a pie for the two of us so he got some lasagna that was way too meaty and I opted for a thin crust pizza. I like the ball of dough they give to the kids to keep them busy, but of course with the wait for the food this is a necessity and not a luxury. The service itself is top notch. I have no qualms about that part of the meal. Attentive and helpful from the wait staff to management. In fact, we filled out the the comment card expressing our disappointment and barely made it out the door before the manager caught up with us and wanted to discuss our meal. He gave us a gift card because he wanted us to try it a second time. We later used the gift card for to-go orders. Had a couple salads (one was the beefstro) which still didn't really impress. Will I ever try again? Sure, but as a couple or with another couple with the expectation that dinner will last a minimum of two hours. However, will this be a regular destination? Probably not. 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

The Oregano's Gilbert is a brand new location. Great news for Oregano-lovers on this side of town. Great news for anyone looking for yummy pizza and pasta and a warm, friendly setting. Oregano's has a fun, retro look, and the patio dining is recommended except for the warmest months of the year. Their menu offers the typical choices: salads, breads, wings, pizza, pasta plus some original takes on traditional Italian dishes. The soups are definitely a cut above what most Itallian eateries offer -- wait, most DON'T offer. Try the Jumbo Gumbo or Itallin Wedding Soup, both are terrific. read more

Busy. Oreganos is always busy. People are still coming in 5 minutes to close. It is in a great location in downtown Gilbert which is my favorite area to eat at. The service is pretty good. I love those big cups they have. For someone like me who always needs refills it cuts down on that quite a bit. (Protip: ask to take a cup home. They had no problem with it, surprisingly) You have to get the Garlic bread. It is huge and tastes amazing. Deep dish pizza is where it's at. Sure it takes 45 minutes they say for the pizza to be ready, but shoot enjoy your company for a bit. What is the rush? There pizza is so good. I could care less about the price. Their sauce is so flavorful and their sausage is high quality. Desserts here are amazing. You have to try them at least once. read more

Oregano's - So I've heard - Pizza Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

This place is legit. If you aren't familiar with Oregano's, than you're wrong and you need to quickly make yourself familiar. The buttery flaky crust, the fresh ingredients and the atmosphere make for a great night out with the lady. I recommend the Aunt Shirley's Gorgonzola Sausage pizza. It's got plenty of meat and cheese with just a hint of heat. One of my fav's... 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

Not my first time to Oregano's or to this location. Never had a bad experience here or any of the locations. Staff is always very accommodating and friendly. And whats notable is all the staff is ready to help serve you and not just your server. Which may not seem like a big deal, but seems to be rare at other places these days. So I feel they deserve all five stars. Tip 1: I would recommend the Kaboom Dip as a starter and maybe ask for extra or more bread. Tried that for the first time last night, pretty sure I will be ordering that every time here on out. Tip 2: Its a very popular place, so expect there to be a longer wait, and a longer time for your food to come out. So sit back, order something cold and an starter to share and relax while you wait. We sat out at the patio and had great service. Ordered way to much food but loved it. We had three young kids with us, and the service was great even through the patio was packed with large groups. - Also somewhat rare these days. Thank you to Makenna for the excellent service. **Would request/Suggest they buy more high chairs. They were all used when we were there for most of the evening. But the staff was very accommodating and helpful with it. read more

I love Oregano's! Plan for a wait though. My friend and I try and go on a fairly regular basis and we just plan to wait and have drinks so it's not really a big deal. We love the Pesto Pizza which is a thin crust, with duh... Pesto, tomato and cheese. It's rather simple but oh so yummy! Their whole wheat crust is yummy too. Their salads are huge so make sure to share and don't forget to order a pizookie. You won't be sorry! With 3 flavors to choose from and all three sampled the classic chocolate chip is by far the best! Deep dish pizzas take like 45 min to make so plan for that also. It's one of the reasons we always order a thin crust! read more

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

I just had some of the worst service I have had in a long time. No one to take drink orders then no one to take our order. Ordered a half pepperoni half cheese it was all pepperoni so they made me some slices and it took so long to get to me the people at my table were ready to leave by the time I got my food. I asked our waiter for boxes after for leftovers, after about 5 minutes of watching him hang out at the bar I got them from the kitchen myself. The worst part was the store was not busy at all. 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

Oreganos has been a favorite of the family for years so we were pretty excited when this location opened up. Staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is the same as every other Oreganos. We have been ordering takeout pizza for some time now and recently the quality has dropped. The deep dish pan pizza was our regular order but the last two times we've ordered the crust has been soggy, the toppings are thrown in globs by what appears to be a handful and it's near impossible to eat. Not sure what's changed at this location and we'll give it one more shot but would've been 5 stars 6 months ago and now can only give a 3 solely due to quality of takeout. 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

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

Love that I could check in without even being there yet. When I got there it only took them two minutes to seat us! Which is awesome for a Saturday night. Love the food, to loud inside so make sure you sit outside if you want to hear each other better. 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

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

Went in for a bite to eat and our server, Shiann, was incredible!! Food is always good. But the service is what makes me want to come back to this location! Shiann was super friendly, very attentive, polite, and just an overall delight. At one point I thought "I hope my kids turn out just like her!" Ha! The bartender, Caroline, was also a delight! I'm not sure how this place just so happened to pick up all the greatest people, but they are beyond blessed to have them. Thanks Gilbert Oregano's!! read more

Overall good people and good service! I received a plate with a dead bug on it. I was DISGUSTED & DISSATISFIED. I was so excited to give this place 5 stars but it doesn't deserve that. Overall the cleanliness of the place is 6/10. I wish they took into consideration that there could be a dead bug on the plates. 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

On 2/25/18 at around 4:00 P.M. I took my wife and daughter to dinner. Today was my daughter's birthday. My family has been patronizing this location for over 10 years, because of its excellent food and bubbly service. When we walked in, it didn't seem that busy. The hostess took my name and number and told me it would be 10-15 minutes. She wasn't smiling and seemed bothered. While looking around I saw an unoccupied booth. When I approached the booth, the male waiter in the area aggressively told me to wait to be called. At that point I decided to leave. The bartender even frowned at me on the way out. This location has really gone downhill. It used to be the best Oregano's in the East Valley or the state for that matter. I don't know if it is the increased competition in the area or the fact my family is African-American. Avoid this location at all costs. 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

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

Won't visit again. Went today on a Sunday afternoon. Issues: 1. Restaurant wasn't overly busy and we waited and waited to get our food. Salad which was supposed to come first , never came. One hour later, pizza finally arrived. 2. Pizza had too much cheese - very greasy! 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

Seriously the best Oreganos in the Valley!! Always have the best customer service, and super friendly. I've never had a problem here. My favorites are the Big Rig, Italian Gold wings, Boom Dip, and the Sweet potato fries. Honestly, you won't be disappointed with anything you get here. read more

Food was really good, service was good until the very end. Had to go ask Manager to place order for dessert, as our server disappeared. I think it was shift change. read more

Great pizza! Wonderful atmosphere . The gang absolutely loves this place!! Super busy on the weekends, so go early. Super friendly staff. We will definitely be back. Thanks!! read more

Absolutely love this place! Great food, great service! Zero complaints. Been twice once here in Gilbert and 2nd time at the Queen Creek location and both were consistent in quality throughout. Long wait but worth it. read more
