This oreganos in particular just shines over all iltalian places around. Always good service (shoutout to Connor for doing a great job) and always good food (shout-out to the chicken parm). What more can I say. read more

The food is what you can expect from any Oreganos but the customer service here is not up to par. It's kinda sad because I went to college in Flagstaff and have set the standard of every location to meet the FLG one. read more

Love the meatball sandwich, best filling and satisfying! Staff is friendly and courteous! Restaurant is busy and they keep it clean and welcoming. read more

I love their "Pablo Picasso Mexico Salad". It's delicious. Make sure you make a reservation though. I waited for 25 minutes before I had dinner on a Saturday night. read more

I had been to the Oregano's in Cave creek a couple times and the food was great. Service was great. Everything was great. This dump is obviously owned and run by someone else. To start with we intentionally planned our dinner early to avoid crowds. We tried to actually make a reservation but rather than just telling us they don't do it the person on the phone actually got offended and nasty. We arrived at 4:45PM to get a table for 6. Since there were only 2 of us the hostess wanted to know why 6. I explained 4 more coming. She was a bit huffy but took us to a cramped little booth for 4. I told her we needed room for 6 and a SECOND time she got huffy and pointed out that there were only 2 of us. I was ready to leave- spouse insisted we stay. Hostess took us back to waiting "room" because in the completely empty restaurant there was not a table for 6 available. Eventually when the other four arrived and we asked for a table. She took us to the booth for 4 and added a chair on the end....in a totally empty place. We are now 6 in a booth for 5. As she walked away I wanted to leave...not allowed. We moved ourselves to the table for 6 that was next to our booth and proceeded to wait for nearly an hour for a waitress. It just kept going downhill from there. Food was terrible. Service was worse, The music was so loud we had to yell to be heard over it, and the bill for 6 people was heart stopping! I kept thinking that we could have gone to Pizza Hut and had better pizza, decent pasta and same drinks for about a third of what these guys charge. read more

We always make a stop here when we are in town. It is a great family style restaurant with amazing food. There deep-dish pizzas keep us coming back. The deep dish pizzas take about 45 minutes to cook be prepared to wait. We order appetizers and pasta to keep us busy while we wait. They also offer a kids menu with small bites for the little ones. Do not be surprised when there is ball of pizza dough on your menu. They offer one to all the kids to play with while waiting. For starters, we ordered fried ravioli filled with jalapeño cheese, sausage pepper penne pasta that came with garlic bread and hot wings with a side of ranch. I only had room for one slice of pizza by the time it came out. Nevertheless, I wanted to eat more of because it was so good. It is a real deep-dish pizza stuffed with cheeses and meats. We need one in San Diego! Awesome place, lines are always long here. This is a testament to how good their food is! read more

See all

We love Oreganos!!!! Decided to have dinner there tonight and it was great. We brought our 2 year old who wanted "ghetty" and my 9 year old sister who he's never had Oreganos before and they both loved it. We he's great food and great service. read more

Good food and service. Only gave 4 stars because there is usually a decent wait time due to the lack of space. Other than that, no complaints! read more

LOVE the Pablo Picasso Salad!! It's got just the right amount of spice. My husband and I routinely go and split the salad - plenty big for two of us. Service is always great! read more

I love Oregano's! Delicious passion fruit iced tea and salad. We get the thin crust pizza and it's always great.

I absolutely didn't expect the food AND service to be this good!!! I'd say this is the absolute best place for Italian food this side of Phoenix! read more

GREATEST EXPERIENCE EVER, as soon as we walk in the whole staff greeted us with great smiles, it felt like my family was welcoming me home. Our server Courtney was very friendly, professional, and super fast. we never had to ask for a refill. the manager did walks to check up on us to make sure we where fine. lastly on our way out the whole staff wished us good night. I sure did. read more

This is best restaurant I've been to in AZ! We are from California and come a few times a year, every time we are here we have to eat at Oreganos! Employees here are so friendly and the food is delicious!! Great atmosphere too! I recommend the Pablo Picasso salad and the deep dish pizza but everything I've tried has not disappointed! read more

Opened tuesday , I went with my family last night. It was packed but worth it. As opposed to driving to scottsdale like we normally would , this is very convenient. We ordered the bbq chicken pan 12 inch. Our drinks never went below half full , attentive service! Friendly. I will be coming back. read more

Oregano's is good pizza, service is okay, and desserts are yummy. But I wouldn't say it's a spectacular experience. Their salads are actually better than the pizza! read more

I'm impressed by the customer service at this location. The staff is friendly and greets you when you come in. All of them are smiling. Great atmosphere. l ordered a pizza to go and my order was more than I thought it would be because of the way they charge for toppings. They immediately discounted my order and apologized for the confusion. I will eat here more often because of my experience. read more

We tried ordering a deep dish pizza for take out and they told us it wouldn't be ready for 2 hours! How is that even possible. In from Chicago and I know it takes some time to cook but that is ridiculous, and it was just for take out. I haven't had any good pizza out here yet so I really wanna try it but now I'm not in a hurry to give them my money. Maybe I will try another location soon, we'll see read more

I was in oregano's on bell road for lunch a couple of weeks ago and left my jacket on the back of my chair. I realized this about an hour after I left and called to see if they had found it. They had found it and said they would hold it until I could pick it up. I went there 2 days later and after they searched everywhere, they couldn't find it. They told me they would continue to look and check with other employees, and call me when they located it. It is now over 2 weeks later and I haven't heard from anyone at oregano's. I think that at the very least they should have followed up with a phone call to me. In any case, I also think that someone that works at the restaurant is now wearing my jacket and I'm not. I won't be going back there anymore. read more

Won't ever be back to this place. We sat at the bar and waited and watied and waited. Bartenders would look over at us and that's about it. This is the second time for horrible service at this location. Will not be going back nor will several others that used to go to this place. Glad the one in Cave Creek has great service. read more

If you want amazing pasta, this is your place!!! Everything I have tried tastes great! The staff is friendly the place is clean! 10 star restaurant read more

Won't go back.. server talked to us like we were dumb and made me so angry I didn't even order the food. I asked to pay for the app I hadn't gotten and to just leave. It started off good with the super friendly hosts and then it was down hill from there. I asked for just Alfredo and pasta. The waitress claimed that they couldn't take any veggies out and that it was pre made. I literally got it not a month ago. And when I mentioned this and just asked what had changed so I could move on she told me she didn't know what to tell me and that's how it was. Really? Being someone who works in the serving industry I was horrified. read more

First time at the new location on Bell Road, however we have been to other Oregano's. This location is TINY, like maybe 25 total tables inside. We came on a Thursday night around 7:30 and were told it was an hour wait. The hostess brought around pizza and breadsticks to those waiting to sample and offered to bring us drinks. Eventually we made it to a crowded booth whose benches were both dirty and wet. We ordered wings, a giant pizza, drinks and dessert. The problems: wings were the right style but the wrong size and the pizza was a completely wrong pizza which we didn't realize until everyone had a piece on the plate and the waitress had disappeared. We were too hungry at this point to wait another 30 minutes for the right pizza. Eventually we told the waitress about the problem and she offered to buy us a cookie. It's only been a couple of weeks since they opened so I am sure they will work it out. What would have made the experience better: A floor manager to visit each table - this really would help in these first couple of months. When there is a major order error like ours - send over the manager - We all felt guilty about taking a cookie from our 17 year old waitress... kinda felt like stealing her lunch money (we tipped well). Definitely go and try the food, it really is delicious, just don't expect a flawless experience for another few months. read more

Super slow hostess with empty tables. Probably not a good idea for lunch. Or parties more than 4.

This was one of the worst experiences I have ever had at a restaurant! From the hostesses, to the bar, to the server all the way to the management (or lack there of) this place left a very poor first impression on me, and the 25 other people I dined with. The bar is incredibly small and they aren't able to make very many specialty cocktails because the "only carry the essentials". Thats okay, Ill stick with the wine and beer myself. My group started to arrive around 6:45, we understood it was busy and might be a wait, but a good rule of thumb is to over exaggerate a wait time as a hostess, not tell the party they'll be seated in 5min and then not seat them for an additional 20min. Once we were seated, our server did not take long to come over and start our drink order, but he was clearly less than enthusiastic about serving our party, yes we were a big group and a little rowdy at that, but if you cannot handle a big party, DONT TRY! It took nearly 25min for us to get our drinks after we ordered them. We ordered two bottles of wine, which our server did not feel inclined to pour them for us, infact i was surprised he even opened the bottle for us at all. After dropping off our drinks (half of us decided to try and order from the bar because our drainks were taking so long) it took an additional 20min before our server even took our food order. In the menu I didn't realize that with the "Alfrado after dark" you had the choice of meatballs, sausage, or chicken so when he asked i hesitantly said "sausage please" and he rudely responded "What? is that a question for me" I simply didn't realize i had the choice. Our food took close to half an hour to arrive (understandable i suppose, we were a large group) At this point it was about 9:45pm when the food started rolling out and man I was hungry!!! I patiently wait while all the food came out and about 5min went by and finally our server came over and i asked for utensils, super excited to eat my pasta, i scooped up a heap of noodles and low and behold apparently i ordered pasta salad because my food was ice cold! I informed my server of this, he was very unapologetic and offered to get me a new one, unfortunately it was 10pm at this point and I no longer wanted to be eating pasta this late and I had a 40min drive ahead of me. The girl sitting next to me asked for her check before the food came because she had to go, it took him 20min to bring her check. it was a poor experience!!! I never enjoy spending 3 1/2 hours in a restaurant when most of it is waiting. I will try another location with a smaller group, because I have heard amazing things about the food, this location and this occasion unfortunately dropped the ball. read more

Very busy, 20 minute wait, and well worth it! We started with the big Caesar salad and it was fresh crisp, and just the right amount of cheese, dressing, and croutons. We then had their version of guacamole on thin crust pizza, delish and filling! It's like 5 servings of Chipotle Guac with an Italian touch. We tried their deep dish with sausage and pepperoni and it was sublime. Well cooked cheese, crisp crust on the outside and soft on the inside. The 12" is enough for 4-5 people, yummy! The service was very hospitable and friendly but not overbearing read more

The deep dish with sausge and pepperoni is to die for. In my opinion it is the best deep dish in the valley#highlyrecommended

Ok let's just start by saying we love Oreganos. And we were so happy that one opened up on the "west side". First off there are a whopping 4 seats at the bar. What??!! Then the hostess tried her hardest to turn away our business stating that the wait was 90 minutes and that the " bar is full" so do you still want to put your name in? We proceeded into the bar for a drink and the bartender was less that happy to serve us also!! There were several tables wide open so we were confused about the 90 minute wait? Then a waitress came to get us within 20 minutes not 90! I will say that once we were seated our waitress was good and so our evening was salvaged. However, we will probably drive to Paradise Mall location for a better experience. read more

The food here is always amazing! You can't beat their pizza and creative toppings. Of course it's good food so there is always a long wait from when you order the food. The waitress I had kept taking my empty drink and not returning it. The service was kind of slow but the taste of the food is what keeps us around. read more

This one just opened a few days ago and age for the first time today. Did a call in order for pickup and it was an hour and a half wait for our pickup time! Hot good was hot and salad cold, ready at pickup time. Crowded but very good. read more

Been a while since I've been to an Oregano's. Took my wife since we've both been wanting to come here for a while. To start with the food it was okay. Both my wife I thought the food had a bacon taste which for me was okay, there was no bacon in what I ordered. My wife being pescetarian disliked her food. Service was absolutely horrid. I swear our server forgot about us. No refills, no friendly service. First time here (at this location), last time here. Don't recommend. My server was Jake and he just cost you our business. read more

I am leaving two stars because of the lack of customer service, and the sheer folly that a pasta order Togo taking an hour and 15 minutes...(it's freaking pasta) I was told pizza would be 1.5 hours which for thin crust is crazy as well. Granted I know they were busy but I called 3 other oreganos locations whom also had a very long wait for pizza each was an hour or more. Ok then that makes sense however ALL 3 of the other locations told me 15-25 minutes for pasta max. And they had a 45 min to hour wait. Clearly this place has either incompetent employees or they are severely understaffed which speaks to the ineptitude of management. Seriously oreganos typically is awesome but the 3-4 trips to this location has been an utter disappointment. I hope the owners see this and do something about it because something is wrong at this location. Get it together. (Or only go at lunch around open because that's the only time I have had a good experience at this location. Staff-friendly and polite Good- good but takes way longer than ANY location I have ever been to. (Pizza both times under cooked seriously you undercook thin crust?) Price- not worth the wait To go orders- apparently if you want dinner at a decent hour you need to call hours in advance I love oreganos but hate this location they have let this business down in my opinion read more

Came on a Friday night. Was pretty busy with about 40 minute wait outside and 40 more for food. Ordered the Italian Flag lasagna. Sauce was pretty salty and unimpressive. Also had a slice of the pan pizza which was thick with cheese. The pizza dough was a bit soggy and not very tasty. This pizza was nothing special and a bit of a dud which is surprising bc pizza is one of those foods hard to do wrong. read more

Our first time there and our server, DON, was the best!! Made us feel at home, explained the menu, and took above and beyond care of us! Food was above excellent and the atmosphere was fun and relaxed. Huge portions of food with just the right spice. But the best part was our server, Don. He put us in a great mood and made the dining experience perfect! Will def come again and bring friends and family :) read more

I love trying different pizzas with the hope of finding the perfect pie. While in Phoenix, Oregano's was recommended to us by some locals so we thought we would try it. It must be popular because when we arrived on Saturday evening there was a wait of well over one hour. Frustrating, and not really their fault. In fact, they were good with passing out some pizza samples and getting people drinks. Once we got in, we tried a Chicago deep dish pizza. It is very filling and overall not bad, even with a distinct oregano enhanced flavor. But, the pizza was overwhelmed with pizza sauce, and the crust was not entirely cooked in places. Despite aIl this it was worth the trip and discovery, but I'm not sure I'd endure the wait again. read more

Went to Oreganos for dinner on a Saturday night. There was a hour and a half wait, but that's to be expected considering how amazing this place is...at lease usually. We took our seats and were instantly greeted by the waiter, who took our drink order. We ordered our appetizers and then were asked 3 times in a 5 min period if we were ready to order. I understand they are busy but I waited my turn patiently, I'm not going to be rushed to eat. We told him we wanted to wait to order. When our apps came out, again we were asked to order so we did with reservation. We had only taken a fee bites when our meal was served. I do appreciate prompt service but I didn't want to eat in a rush and explained that to our server. I could have dealt with this as he was just trying to do his job effectively. (This isn't the 1st time we have been rushed. One time we ordered a deep dish pizza. They explained that it takes 45 minutes. We knew this and said it was completely fine. The server became annoyed and walked away. STOP RUSHING PEOPLE!!!) The worst part & the reason for the poor review was on the part of management. There were 2 large parties seated near us (party of 2). They were extremely loud and obnoxious! But hey, again they have a right to enjoy their meal and socialize too. It was so loud we had to yell to communicate and we were sitting right across from one another. We asked the hostess if the manager could just ask them to lower their voices just a bit...not only did the manager refuse, but he/she wouldn't even come speak with us. That's unacceptable!!! They offered too move us, but we were being force fed by our waiter. (I kid). Either way I've learned my lesson. I'll drive a little further if I need my Oreganos fix. At least at other locations you can enjoy your meal. read more

Poor service and it wasn't even busy. We waited over an hour for our food!!! We are not impatient people but this was horrible and after we ate there (the food was good don't get me wrong) I went home and was sick as a dog that night. Not sure if something was not cooked all the way or it could have just been me. But regardless we waited about twenty mins to get seated (again not busy at all) then waited another twenty mins for the waiter to take our order then another hour for our food. We only went here because we had a gift card. Never again. read more

Food isn't that great. I use to love Oregano's but I feel like it's gone down hill. Ordered Alfredo pasta and it had little to no sauce. Oregano's unfortunately is no better than Olive Garden. read more

4 stars only because the wait is so long but the food is delicious and the portions are very filling (you'll have leftovers) great prices too. read more

Ordered pasta, when my pasta came out dry, they literally charged me for more sauce, that's just ridiculous. Thanks Mark, ur restaurant is not doing so well huh, if u need to borrow some money hit me up read more

I love Oregano's! The only thing that saved this review was that the waitress was really nice and sweet and very attentive. The hostesses however, NEED SOME MAJOR WORK. We were told that it would be a 30 minute wait for a party of 4 which isn't bad for a Friday night but we ended up waiting for over an hour!!!! We went up and complained 3 times just to keep getting told "oh you're next". Meanwhile people who got there 5 minutes ago got a table for 2 that sits 4 people! WTF??? Totally annoying but like I said the actual waitress was on point and did a great job! read more
