Tonight we had a horrible dining experience at this establishment. There was a table that was completely out of line. They were so loud causing all of the tables to turn and look at them and swearing in a very crude manner. In general ruining everyone else's experience. It was so bad that the table next to us had to explain to his daughter that it is not appropriate to behave that way in public ever. Not once during this whole ordeal did management step in and ask this table to please "tone" it down or leave. Once the table left we asked to speak to the manager and were asked which one. There were three on duty! Our server grabbed the manager who happened to be clearing the table where those unruly patrons sat. He claimed to "not know" all of the bad behavior that was going on but when he approached the table to clear it with another employee they were discussing it. He even poked fun at it saying "Mayday! Mayday!" By no means am I a formal person but there is a level of appropriate table manners that people should adhere to when dining in public. And I have never dealt with management of any establishment that would allow that kind of behavior to transpire. Even in a sports bar they would have been asked to leave. Unfortunately my husband and I will not return to this location and not suggest it when asked for a recommendation. read more

On a Thursday at 345, a group of 11, nobody else waiting. .. waited for 30 minutes to be told that we couldn't sit together (that would be a 2 hour wait) and it would be another 30-40 minutes. . I think I spend more time waiting at oreganos than I do dining. read more

Great food, great service. We went on Friday night at 5. If you can go early it will save you a bunch of time. Also use the waitlist. We were seated right away with no wait. When we were done with our meal and on the way out people were waiting 90 to 105 minutes. read more

This place is great. The food is good. I love the stuff Riga tony. For lunch on the weekday I had the calzone and that was fantastic too. I love the meatballs! We always get the waffle fries for the appetizer. The service is always fantastic, and the 40's music reminds me of my childhood with my Italian grandmother. read more

I have been to this Oregano's a bunch of times now and love the food... You will want to come early for dinner it's always really busy... The staff is always friendly and will seat you as fast as they can... I always order something that's not on the menu the Mild and Gold wings they are the best wings I have had in Arizona it's the mild sauce mixed with the Italian gold sauce so good... Next on to the salad The Antipasto Thing (Salami, pepperoni, capicolla, Romaine lettuce, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, red peppers, red onions, topped with Italian cheeses and tossed with Italian dressing.) This is the best Antipasto I have had in Arizona now for the pizza... Aunt Margherita Pizza (Light and flaky dough, add pizza sauce, a four cheese Italian blend, fresh cut Roma tomatoes, fresh sliced basil.) After all this food if you still have room what I do is get The Original Pizza Cookie to go ( A 1/2 pound of Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, or Peanut Butter Chocolate cookie dough, slightly baked in a 6-inch pizza pan then topped with 3 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. If you're looking for a great dinner this is one place you need to add to your list. read more

My boyfriend and I go here at least once a month. We love to sit at the bar because the wait here is always long and the bartenders are so friendly here. We stick to a basic thin crust pepperoni, which is always good, but I've also had the Lady is a Scampi pasta and that's pretty good too. My favorite part is the chocolate chip pizza cookie! Yummy. Great patio to have lunch or dinner and a beer on a nice day. read more

Let's see where to start. Used the yelp wait list and was told it was a 35 minute wait so had to correct the greeter, then was told only had high tops and we agreed to wait for a booth which he led us to and was not cleaned. Disgusting. He cleaned it using the same Towel for the table and seats after flicking the left over sausage on the floor right where you would step to sit in the booth. My mom is vegetarian. Then the waitress was nice when she met us answered our questions and took the order however other people brought the food and she never checked in on us and we were craning our necks trying to get someone's attention. Ordered the bruschetta. It was tasteless and the bread was dry. read more

It is a sad time for long time fans of Oregano's as they have stop offering all drums on the Buffalo wings. You now can choose 10 or 14 and it is 60% regular wings and 40% drums. Sucks. It was the only place where you could get all drums. Now they don't set themselves apart as far as the Buffalo wings go. I gave it a two stars only cause the size is still descent. Oh well, when I want wings, it don't matter now and I won't have to wait an hour to be seated. read more

Usually this place is good with good service, but not always. It's way too busy most of the time and not worth waiting in line IMO. What bugs me about this place is how they nickle and dime you on extra sauce and dressing... and they never put enough sauce on the meatball sub (and it used to come with 4 meatballs not 3 BTW). I usually get that or the big beef sandwich. The big beef is hard to beat. Picasso salad is good too. I've probably had it 20 times and I was only disappointed with the food and service once or twice. Update: just went back after not eating here for about a year and this place is even worse with the nickle and diming. Fries used to come with sandwiches and now they cost extra. The sandwiches seem smaller now too -- my "BIG HOT CHICK PARM" while tasty was anything but "big"... it was 6 inches at most. We spent $60 (after tip) for 2 beers, 2 sandwiches and an order of wings. The sandwiches were good but smaller than they used to be. The wings used to be really good, but this time they were meh... definitely not worth the $10.69 for 10. Based on this last experience, it will probably be another year before I go back here... maybe longer. read more

Sorry for the wrong post in Mesa Az. I went to this Oregano's in Gilbert Az and it was really aweful. My husband ordered a Jr. Sandwich and it didn't even have any sauces of any kind on it. He asked for some mayonnaise and mustard and it took them 20 minutes to bring it out. Then I ordered a Penne Pesto dish and boy did I make a huge mistake. We spent over $50 and I will never go back there again when I visit Gilbert, Az. I live in California and was visiting some friends in Mesa and they took us there. That was money spend that I was not satified with I gave them a 1 star because I cannot give them no stars at all.....If possible I would not of given them any stars at all....... read more

Oregano's has delicious food and a pleasant staff. I don't really mind the longer wait for my food because I get the sense that it is fresh rather than a frozen entree that someone popped into a microwave. We have a large family and whenever there is a college graduation or birthday party, we usually end up at the Gilbert Oregano's restaurant and we spend a pretty penny in Oregano's standards. One thing that makes my stomach a bit queasy is the Hooter's inspired attire. Very short shorts are one thing, but the low-cut tank tops gross me out. Maybe I'm just germ phobic but those waitresses get hot running around all the time. I don't like the thought of someone's uncovered sweaty armpit hanging over my dinner. It just doesn't seem sanitary to me and I wish they'd class it up a bit. Aren't there Department of Health dress codes for wait staff beyond shirts and shoes? If showing cleavage makes the girls feel good about themselves, fine. Whatever you need to do... just please cover up your armpits. I am sure it can be accomplished - I don't see the males walking around in leotards and they seem to be handling the heat just fine!! One final word - I'm not a fan of the illegal substance references written on the backs of your shirts. "Legalize Marinara." Try explaining that to a child and helping them to understand why this is "funny" when they're being taught that drugs are bad. I know it's a silly parody, it just isn't in good taste for a reputable business. read more

So..... I'm an oreganos lover! I've been going to pretty much all Arizona locations for the past 8 years. And for the last 5 years we've lived in Gilbert. And we go to the Gilbert location! We always have to wait and we are okay with it. So what we do now is pre order so we have our food cooking while we wait. Since our pizza takes about 40 min to cook. Tonight we went there. And we waited for about 20 min and we did preordered. Well we waited for an additional hour. Our pizza cooked for 1 hour and 30 min. Our waiter told us 8 min left. And it turned to 15. We thought we would be there or an hour and it didn't happen. We had a horrible time. We had to take our pizza to go we did not enjoy it! it was the worst experience on our night out. After we payed On our way out I told, in passing the manager that we had to wait very long for our pizza. And she told me that they had so many preorders. The restaurant was not their usual busy. We waited for our food longer then when we go on the weekend. We went home disappointed to eat pizza. That they got wrong!!!!! ‍ the pizza was not what we ordered. But since we took it to go we didn't have time to check it. Not going back. Epic fail!!! read more

Terrible service. Food was okay but not worth the 2-3 hours wasted. Would have tried anywhere else.

Had the chicken lasagna, and the bottom was burnt so bad I couldn't cut with my fork. Order a pizza to go more like a cheese crisp. If you enjoy Italian food, try toco bell instead of this place. read more

I cater from oreganos 4 times a week for my accounts. This location is by far the worst for placing catering orderes. They take forever !!! and my pizzas were burnt the manager just said sorry, didn't offer me anything since I was already late by them !! this has happened few times. The pasta isn't made the way I always get it. Please get together ! I will cater from oreganos but avoid this location and go to other branches now. So disappointed read more

This place is my favorite spot. The atmoshere is awsome. Food is so delicous, its clean and the staff are very friendly. I recommend the cheesey garlic bread, pizza, wings and there is a good sandwhich but I don't remember the name. What i remember best about this place is we ate outside and it was freezing. They of course had the heating lamps but they gave us blankets to use while we ate our dinner. I thought that was very cool. This place is always packed and they don't take reservations which sucks but would advise to go when its a time where people are at work so can get food faster and don't have to wait read more

Absolutely LOVE the caesar salad here with chicken! It is HUGE and under $10. Other than that though, I don't really know what I'd get - the menu isn't my favorite, not a lot I'd like to try. My husband got the chicken lasagna and said that was good. Garlic bread isn't all that great (coming from someone who LOVES bread, that's saying something). We even got the cheesy bread the second time and my husband swore it smelt like plastic lol. Oh boy! And it smelled like garbage all around the area outside - what's that about? read more

Im from Cali and just visiting and I dont have anything horrific to say here. My visit was a pleasant one and id surely come back. Having sad that, the wait was confusing, but i believe the young hostess simply didnt know how to quote a wait. Its ok, i get it. The food was delicious. All my substitution requests went in unscathed and worry-free (as they should). I had the Alfredo the dark, w/sausage and opted for bowtie pasta in lieu of the spiral. Scrumptious!! I was put off, however, by the huge sausages that accompanied the meal. I was expecting them to be sliced up for me or maybe crumbled, not set atop my food, but i gladly ate ONE. Two was too much. Maybe give me the choice of 1 or 2, not just heres two.. Mangia!! Courtney was nice and attentive, and OMG, now that i think about it, i completely forgot to tip her!! Epic fail. Ill def be back before i head home next week. Wow. Super sorry Courtney!! The atmosphere was chill, welcoming and it didnt break the bank. So like the guy below said... solid place. You wont be disappointed. read more

Since I posted the review I got a call from the manager who was actually interested in what went wrong--under a prior manager. I appreciated the concern and the offer to make up for it. read more

Worst customer service ever!!! People are rude and I would rather drive further another oreganoes than go to this one , it's unfortunate

Awful experience. Never got seated. Hostess forgot we were waiting outside. Then told us she forgot us and said our table was being cleaned. 15 minutes later we left still never being seated. Nobody else waiting in restaurant. Speaking to manager was useless. She did not acknowledge her hostess had erred, just said we had not waited as long as we said. Very bad experience. We have being going to Oreganos for over 20 years and I don't think we will return read more

Once we were seated and received our drinks, we went to that place where the "one hit wonders" and secrets from civilizations have gone. Good things come to those who wait but 45 minutes is pushing it when it comes to a place that isn't that packed and we only ordered a 12 inch pie.Lost and forgotten!! The painful purgatory of pending pizza patrons paints perplexing pantomimes. The waitress could have at least checked up on us and/or given us some appetizers to temporarily satiate our belly banshees. Thankfully, Kristy, who may be a manager and wasn't even our original waitress, flew in to save the day. She offered us a free dessert on top of giving us a respectable discount. The food is always tip top, but today the service is what was truly shined!! Thanks Kristy!! read more

The only downside of this place is the wait. The problem with being this good is that you are always busy, but that is a great problem to have. Love their pizza and their Garlic bread. Also, great atmosphere. read more

Service not so good today. Waited 1/2 hour for a salad that didn't seem up to the normal quality. Sparse on the chicken and it was cold (normally warm). We've been an Oregano's fan for many years, even though we are tired of the same music all the time. Hope this is not a sign they are going downhill. read more

I like this spot and their food is good except I went the other day and I ordered the side of fries and there was a piece of hair in it, and this is not the first time I hear about issues with them being clean. Something to look at for sure read more

Took way to long... , throwing food around in kitchen along with unsanitary touching of ready to eat food, specifically the garlic bread. Would not recommend this location. They seem too comfortable. Cooks didn't even know we ordered so the waitress had to tell them twice. read more

Love. Love. Love this place everytime I am in AZ it is a must. Great food and service. The wings and pizza are amAZing...from thin crust to deep dish. Go early. read more

this is our go to place for thin crust pizza, love their pizza! Tonight we had a Picasso salad too. So yummy. And of course....the pizzookie. read more

My wife and I love this place. We usually go to the one in Mesa on Dobson and Southern but this place is just as good. They took away the soup I really liked and replaced it with a wedding soup that is just ok. Every time I have it, it is a bit salty. I am not a wine snob but I love red wine and there is just something special about red wine with any type of marinara sauce. I will give kudos for the portions. The service is always great too. It seems like everyone who works there either goes to ASU or went there. The environment is great and would recommend to anyone . read more

Tried this location tonight. The service was slow and they messed up our order multiple times. I really like oreganos so this time around makes me very sad. read more

Wow! this is the place for terrific Pizza! The thin crust is the bomb and I love all the ingredients. My wife likes the hot pasta with shrimp. So much food though you can split any dish easily. This is one of my favorite spots to eat in Gilbert! read more

Dude second time in a row we got a take out salad and 50% is the lettuce is rotten. WTF I emailed last time and got a 3rd grader worthy response. Love the new special... buy a salad get free diarrhea read more

Gooood pizza, not crazy about the pasta is was a bit on the dry side, but gooood pizza. My husband and I always order one each so we can take home for the next day. The thin crust is our favorite, I love the Lawrence Original but avoid getting the wheat crust. I tried it one time for the heck of it and it really threw the taste off, I kinda regretted ordering it. If you're in the mood for appetizers, try the cheesey garlic bread, it's huge and comes with maranara sauce or try the calamari is excellent, we really enjoyed that one. They have good beer, a lenghty list of wines. If you rather avoid the the wait, I suggest going on a weeknight, and even then we typically wait about 20 to 30 minutes, but it beats almost an hour on the weekends. read more

We have loved Oregano's in Scottsdale and Tempe. Took friends to Gilbert and it took 65 minutes to be seated although we were told 15 to 25 min. When two tables sat empty I bothered the girl at the door who had her arms around the neck of one of the guy servers and she said she hadn't forgotten. 10 min later when the third table sat empty my guy friend went to get action. We were seated, ordered and waited 25 minutes for food - not bad, but when we finished, dishes were cleared and we declined dessert we waited another 25 minutes for our check and only got it when we said if we didn't get in within 5 min we were walking out. We'll never go again. Many of the staff just played around with each other while a few worked very hard. We got the players!! read more

Hello Chicago! In Gilbert, of course. Oreganos transports you back to old style Chicago in the middle of the desert. There are 40s era pictures on the walls, bookshelves decorated with jars of marina, and Hunts tomato sauce cans that serve as lights over the bar. The food is incredible, with fresh and authentic taste. The menu is diverse, with something for everyone! There are definitely a few southwestern influences to be found, such as being able to put green hatch chilies on your pizza. The portions are large, but you're going to want to take some home! The service is great, with friendly, eager staff. You'll definitely go back for more! read more

Tonight at 9:30pm we ordered 50 pizzas for the firemen who put put the fire just down the street for us. They close at 10. Not only did they accommodate us and were incredibly understanding and cooperative, but they made 50 pizzas in 35 minutes!! Thank you to the staff that night, the firefighters and police officers were incredibly grateful. read more

Stopped in a decided to try the pizza,they had a special which is a giant slice.Well it ended up being 2 slices and I would rather call it cheese bread not pizza.I could pick it up and shake it and nothing would fall off.Maybe their pie is better but never order a slice. read more

Salad was AMAZING! Halfbaked cookie and ice cream was to die for! Waiter was cute! 5 stars.

I Love Oreganos! Amazing pasta(Big Rig) and pizza cookie!! If you have never been then you should go!!

I just moved to the west coast and I've had oreganos recommended to me by a few different people. I was excited to give it a shot. Unfortunately I was far from impressed. I ordered a stuffed crust pizza which was literally pure cheese and dry crust. My friend got the deep dish which she couldn't even eat she said it was so undercooked, the pizzas took 45 minutes so we decided to order a salad, it was soaked and pure dressing. the drinks were good but the pizza ended up costing us 20$ each and we ate a slice each. Very disappointed and Won't go back. Wouldn't recommend it read more
