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

Artichoke dip was great Pizza was really on par with what I've had in Chicago! Great flavor, crust not soggy, full of toppings Long wait, but given the options in the area, understandable. At least they come around to bring you some pizza samples while you wait! 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

I can safely say that Oreganos has the best stuffed pizza in the state of Arizona. It takes about 45 minutes to bake, so on top of the general 20-60 minute wait for a table... just make sure you come on a night you have plenty of time and are in the mood for a good time. While you wait, there is a full bar with staff that will be happy to greet you and offer a drink. The location isn't huge, almost 40% of the seating is available on their patio (along with a second, much smaller, outdoor bar). read more

This is the only restaurant in town that I've had to wait for a table. That's not a bad thing, just an observation. A note on the food... I'd go with pizza over pasta here. I've had both, but prefer the pizza. Pizza comes in thin, stuffed, or thick (pan) crust. However, if you want a LOT of pasta, order that because you won't be disappointed with the vast quantity of food that you get. Try to save room for dessert. The "original pizza cookie" is just like a pazookie from BJ's, but possibly bigger. A note on the service... If you order a dish that has a long prep time, they are good about letting you know ahead of time so that you're not wondering where your food is 45 minutes later. read more

Enjoyed the weather outside today and sat outside on the fake grass patio for lunch. I ordered the Oreganos fav Jr salad and the sausage pesto pizza, I did however manage to convince myself that I was too fat for a pizzookie(though I don't recommend you talk yourself out of it...I've been regretting since I left!) The salad was amazing like always. This particular pizza I tried for the first time! I loved the sausage, very full of flavor but could have had a few more on it. The tomatoes were good as well. But the pesto sauce...kind of lacking. Not too flavorful, couldn't really tell it was there. But I am never disappointed by the tomato sauce pizzas...do try. This location is great to visit because they are usually not "as" busy as the other locations. read more

You can definitely tell by other Oregano's reviews I am a huge fan of their food!!! But tonight's experience was simply AMAZING!!! the food was awesome, but the service was TOP NOTCH!! One of the people in our party has a dairy allergy, I know I know we went to an Italian restaurant cheese cheese cheese, but our waitress Gina knew the answer to our allergy questions, everything from the bread to the sauces, she even pointed our an item we had ordered that had dairy mixed into it and got us a different dressing!!!! Gina you made this one of the most enjoyable outings I've had in a long time. read more

I echo the previous reviewers - excellent pizza/salads/soups. Cute Americana ambiance. But also, there's BEER. We must not neglect to mention the opportunity to imbibe quality beers at this fine establishment! I savored a pint of Sierra Nevada while promptly finishing half a pie (it's thin crust, so I'm not as big a pig as I sound) and THAT is what pushes my lunches there from good to great! Hint: The wings are just okay, so save your belly real-estate for the pizza/beer! read more

This is my favorite Oregano's. I have frequented at least 3 others. The girl who checks me in knows me by name, and the waitresses always come around to offer drinks while you're waiting (something other Oregano's are not as good at). I always start with a Pablo Picasso salad, which I have never had a problem with (probably ordered at least 20 of them by now). Never old salad ingredients- always fresh! My husband loves the calamari. Only once did someone complain about an appetizer- it was our last visit and my mother-in-law and her brother said the Quacatoni (sp) was too salty- but I loved it and thought it was like usual. The pizza (pan!) is to die for, and the drinks are always made strong. Additionally, a group of 6-8 people always only spend around $120-140, including multiple drinks and appetizers. How could you beat that??? Of course the wait times (never less than 30 minutes and up to 70 minutes during busy times) made me want to give it 4 stars- I really wish they took reservations- but there's a reason why they're so busy! I usually try to go before or after the 6-8pm rush. The waiting staff (at this location specifically) has ALWAYS been fantastic. I am a frequent Oregano's eater (1x a month) and this location's service is above others. Overall: Worth the wait, great service, food, and prices. read more

What's not to like about this place? This is always a favorite of our family to go to when celebrating a special occasion. We haven't had a bad meal, or drink, here yet. First off, you have to try their house margarita. There are unique (a splash of beer is added at the end when they make it), potent, and very good. The Big Beefstro Salad is a great start to a meal. Tender slices of warm beef mixed in with greens, diced jalapenos, cheese, caramelized onions, and dressing makes this a great salad with a little heat. To my surprise, the wings were really good. All of the wings were drummies. They were deep fried and very meaty. All of them had a nice crisp to them. I got the Italian Gold ones. It is a honey mustard, BBQ sauce. Besides BBQ, this my second favorite wing sauce now. The Chicago-style pizza is also a must have. Make sure you order it in the beginning because it takes time for it to cook. But the time to cook it is all worthwhile in the end. It's the best Chicago deep-dish style pizza I have had in the Phoenix area. Lastly, you can't go wrong with the pizza cookie for dessert. The cookie dough is gooey and warm. The cold of the ice cream compliments it perfectly. A must have. Combine all of these with pleasant servers in a great setting and you have a great place to unwind after a long week or to celebrate something special. read more

My family and friends all love Oregano's. The food is always excellent and the servers are always super friendly. My all-time favorite dish is something that isn't even on the menu anymore but they still make it on request - the Pasta Basta. It's penne pasta, sun-dried tomatoes, kalamata olives, toasted pine nuts and spicy feta. I always ask for a spoonful of pesto right on the top. Y-U-M-M-Y! It's a huge portion so I usually just eat half and get the other half boxed up. It makes for good leftovers the next day. We don't usually get dessert at restaurants, but make an exception at Oregano's and always get the pizza cookie. My favorite is half chocolate chip, half white chocolate macadamia nut. I've tried to make it at home but it's just never as good as at Oregano's. Other things we've had that are excellent: Guacatony, garlic cheese bread, wings, Bistro Classic pizza, baked ziti, Italian sausage sandwich. All locations are almost always busy, so expect a bit of a wait. It's well worth it though. read more

First time here visiting with friends from the area and I was pleased, very happy! Pals got the thin crust pizza - SO good! --and baked ziti, I got the Alfredo the Dark with chicken (spicy, creamy, totally different) and shared a Beefstro salad (spicy too, but fresh and rich with oniony goodness). The portions are huge so be sure to share or have leftovers. We ventured out and tried the white pizza with bacon, but it was a bust. Dry and not much flavor. Spoke about it with Shawn the manager and he was gracious and kind and took it off our bill. Our server was sweet as well, so we are coming back for the good grub and excellent service. read more

Unreal how good this place is. All the negative reviews about waiting is too bad. Most great places have this problem. Go at odd times or expect a little wait. The place is cool with a nice outdoor area. Our server, Drew, was awesome. The pizza was amazing. I love mushrooms and that mushroom pizza packed on portobellos. The pesto penne came in a bread bowl and we added sausage and man did it have great flavor. It was our first time there so we got a free dessert. The baked cookie was so amazing. 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

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

The food is excellent.... service is friendly.... atmosphere is pleasant. Oh, and drinks are eeeeeexcellent.... :) I would recommend going during the "off" hours. Like maybe 2pm on a Sunday when you can get seated quickly. Otherwise the line is out the door and halfway down the block. Love their food.... but I don't understand the hype.... and I certainly would not wait an hour or two to be seated. read more

I love these kind of places! Lots of personality, a large menu (literally!), and great food. I hear they usually have long waits, but our wait didn't seem too bad since some others in the group came earlier. A couple friends and I shared the stuffed 'shrooms which had great big flavor. They are not the normal small mushrooms that have a few things stuffed inside. These are large mushrooms with lots of ground beef (I think?), basil, cheese, and tomatoes. We also shared a large salad... I forgot what it's called, but it had chicken, cilantro, tomatoes, olives, artichoke hearts (I think?), tossed or served with a light caesar dressing. The salad was huge, even for 3 girls, and we had a pretty decent amount leftover. Lastly, we had the pazookie wannabe. The cookie was slightly undercooked, but it made of a nice ooey-gooey sweet dessert! :) I was told service is usually not that great at Oregano's, but everything seemed to line up fine that night. Things went well and our server was pretty good! Soo, this place gets an A! read more

Oregano's is a favorite of anyone I take there. And, I think it's the only place where I would actually order a salad. (The Vino Bambino? is awesome!). I'm a guy, but was talked into having one of their bellinis(sp). If it's a girl's drink, it's quite a potent one. And the pizza is wonderful. We've tried most of them. You have to sit outside to get the whole experience. I don't think I would ever sit indoors. read more

Retro Chicago Italian, Sausage Rigatoni, thin crust pizza, GREAT bruschetta ! Busy but worth the wait. Good service & huge portions. Authentic Chicago Italian. I am a fan,, read more

Oregano's is a very suitable upgrade to Olive Garden. Having branched out and tried even more Italian places I still feel confident that this is a "pretty good" Italian joint, not super authentic but good. The pasta sauces are pretty bland, though my wife and I always get a Pablo Picasso Salad (Very Big serving) to share and then something else to share. Their pizzas are pretty good. I love the Carne Asada Street Pizza, very fun fusion pizza. It is a bit of a long wait during dinner rush and weekends, but we are in and out in about an hour before 7 on weekdays. Good value for the food as well. read more

I've been going to this delicious renowned Gilbert pizza spot since I was a kid. They were here before all the development and served amazing pizza.. I'm not even sure where to start? If you're a deep dish fan, look no further. I couldn't even finish a slice of their mouth watering deep dish.. And even recently, my thin crust pepperoni didn't stand a chance against my friends and I.. The service is always great, the wait for food depends on how busy they are. 9/10 times they are fairly busy, but are well staffed. Be prepared to wait as they don't take reservations, so go have a good beer at their bar! I always finish our pizza adventures off with one of their pazookis that are good for three+ people. Hands don't a great atmosphere in downtown Gilbert! 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

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

Good service, awesome food, great atmosphere. This is our new favorite Italian restaurant read more

Thought I we were going to have our first "negative" experience here. Odd as they have been consistent at the sun coming up each day. Our order took forever and a day. Turns out the waiter had a minor medical challenge and our order got pushed back. They were very, very apologetic and covered the entire meal. We love their thin crust pizzas, the attentive service and overrall festive atmosphere. We will be back again and again. read more

This is definitely our family's favorite. We ALWAYS take our out of town guests here and they LOVE it!! Fabulous friendly staff, excellent food, awesome atmosphere!! Here's a hint for you....if you want their deep dish pizza which is DELICIOUS, order it as soon as you put your name in to be seated!! The deep dish takes about 45 mins but is sooo worth it!! The Vino Bam Bino is the bomb!!! Get the junior size unless you plan on sharing. Finally, finish it off with their famous pizza cookie!!! A must!!! The ONLY change I would like to see is a few more items on the kids menu. Right now the only offerings include pizza by the slice and a bowl of pasta. My kids would love a grilled cheese, chicken tenders or even a pb&j. We dine at oreganos at least twice a week so the kids get pretty tired of the 2 choices. Anyway, we still LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!! read more

After half a dozen or more visits we finally sat outside on the patio - fun Friday night in December. We were feeling daring so we tried one of the specialty pizzas (Carne Street Pie - good, too much cilantro for me though) and were not disappointed. We shared a salad and the best friend calamari in the Valley! The lines for Oregano's are long so we usually visit before the big crowds hit. We've never been disappointed in service. My reason for only 4 stars would be, the smoking area outside (or a least where people elect to smoke) is too close to the tables. Unfortunately we were there at the end of meal for a large group of smokers. The first half of our visit we had to breathe through our mouth as the cigarette smoke almost choked us out. (Have the smokers stand further from the patio exit and problem solved!) 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

Usually don't have an issue at this location. On Monday at 6 pm, was told the wait would be 30-45 minutes for our party of 8. 1 hour later they tell us that they are waiting for a party to leave. Meanwhile smaller parties that arrived at the same time finished their meal and left. After 1 hour and 25 minutes they said there were still no tables available. Went across the street to another restaurant and was seated immediately. Not sure what the issue was to why they could not accommodate our larger party. Disappointing as we usually have a good experience. read more

To whom it may concern, I visited this location last night which usually has excellent service and hospitality. I came inside the restaurant with my friend expecting to be acknowledged and seated right away, but instead, we were waiting for about 10 minutes without any service. Several servers noticed us but did nothing to help us find a table. I have never experienced such neglection from a foodservice operation before. read more

My most recent visit here was quickly headed into the 2-3 star category, but thankfully turned into a positive one. The restaurant was only half full, and granted we had a party of 12 show up at 7pm on a Monday night, they told us it would be 45-50 minutes of waiting for a table. We even offered to be split into two adjacent tables, and still, the hostess was convinced it would still take nearly an hour. So, we contemplated getting takeout, and were about ready to order when miraculously *poof* a table opened up. The service was excellent, and the Big Beef Sandwich was great! Good food, decent atmosphere, although the "Legalize Marinara" T-shirts are a little over the top, especially in a heavy conservative part of town. Anyway, I'll be back. The unique and tasty dishes will ensure that. read more

Oregano's - My mom with her dirty monkey - Pizza Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Every time I've ever eaten here it's been an extreme pleasure. I would come for the thin crust pizza alone, which is by far the best in the valley, even if it meant having to deal with average service. But that is not the case. Always sincere and friendly service from the bartenders, waitstaff and hostesses. I've never seen anyone in a bad mood, and I've eaten at almost every location. The pizza, as always, was outstanding- no, orgasmic. Perfectly crispy crust throughout, complex flavor to the dough, ample zesty red sauce, and the sun-dried tomatoes are delicious. Great touch also with coming around with real, fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Bravo! My only complaint is that you need to bring back Sierra Nevada on tap. read more

Amazing food! Authentic tasting Chicago style pizza. The wait time for your food is a lengthy, but totally normal for this style. Cute decor! Worth the wait! read more

I've never been disappointed with the food or the service. From the greeting at the front, to the bar and on to the restaurant the service was superb. Our waitress, Mikala was very nice and did a great job suggesting an appetizer and dessert. We will keep returning for sure. read more

Good pizza and pasta. Fast service but perhaps too fast. I like to enjoy my salad before the table is crowded.
