Today 5/23/15 decided to come in to oreganos with my family. We were really hungry. We had to wait a long time , but once we were served by Kevin . It was worth the wait!! I have no words other than we had a great service.(best service in my entire life!!) thanks Kevin defenetly coming back. read more

I have been to Oregano's at least once a week for the past two months (since I moved to the Phoenix area). I have never had an issue finding parking, and since I do not mind the heat, I have never had to wait to get a seat (ample patio seating - if you do not mind friendly pigeons). The pastas and salads have been consistently tasty. For starters, I recommend a small Simple House Salad - it is plenty to split between two people. Last night the Wings of Fire (medium) were not up to par. Previous orders of the wings have been outstanding, but last night was quite a disappointment. The sauce seemed different (runnier), the wings were small, and there was a rubbery texture on a few of them. I am hoping that it was just an off night for the quality of the wings and will be trying them one more time. Also, if you are a fan of the taste of calamari and traditional preparation of it, do not order the Bistro Calamari. The fried coating was way too thick and took away from the texture and taste of the calamari. Back to the positives! The Brussels Sprouts are delicious (note that they take about 20 minutes to cook). Both the Alfredo the Dark and the Big Rig Pasta (with meatballs) are delightful. They have a slight spice to them and the pasta is cooked perfectly (to my standards at least). The bread that accompanies the pastas adds a nice touch to the meal. If you have room, I suggest ending your meal with The Original Pizza Cookie - Chocolate Chip! My only complaint is that there is not an option of regular peanut butter flavor. Ask for a refill of your beverage in a to-go cup, it is refreshing for the drive home. Of course I suggest trying Oregano's! :) read more

The garlic bread is amazing! I ordered a salad that would have easily fed 2. The food was good and the prices reasonable. Would totally go back! read more

It'd been a while since I sat in and ate at this location. This time I called an order in. I called to order a roast beef thing, but completely forgot that it was Streets of NY that has that thing...that number 10. I decided to just go with it and ordered the Big Beef. It's super spicy, but I had the poblano peppers and habernaro mayo left off. (Technically, I didn't know the mayo was spicy. It was the waitress on the phone who suggested that it be left off and I'm glad she did...I wanted no heat!) I asked for mushrooms to be added .89c extra. The phone service was great, friendly and accommodating. I get to the place and open the back door and greeted by a super friendly waitress who asked me if I came for a pick up. She was getting menus from the outside area. She grabbed them and said follow me. I went to a station inside where she told me someone would be right with me. Another person said, "I'll be right with you." They assisted me seconds later. The Big Beef is MASSIVE. (Two meals) Tons of meat and cheese. Served with waffle fries AND a side of coleslaw. I was speechless! I got it home and like I said, couldn't eat the whole thing. It was tasty, flavorful, filling and worth every penny! ($12 and some change) Great service, great food. So glad I decided to go with this order when I realized it was the wrong place. I WILL BE BACK! read more

Love this place! The waiter Giovanni made my first experience marvelous.He's so polite and patient helped us figure out what would be tasty ! Definetly will return cause of him . read more

To be fair I tried Oregano's twice in 2 different locations. I have tried lots of pizza in Arizona from many different restaurants. Everyone told me I had to try Oreganos....AND I can't figure out why!! The pizza is SOOO MARGINAL. No really, the pizza lacks flavor and super skimpy on the toppings. The last and FINAL time I went, I sat down at 1PM and ordered a pizza. I waited....I waited some more...While I was waiting, I watched 3 different groups of people sit down and all 3 ordered and ate before me...Huh? I just ordered a hawain pizza... 45 minutes later, I finally got my pizza. There was barely any pineapple on it. Then later that evening, I ended up getting the runs and severe cramping!! I will not be back to this place again! Grimaldi's is WAY better! read more

I absolutely love Oreganos! This location specifically is my favorite. The vibe here is quite nice and the service is great! For pasta I would recommend the Zany Zity or the pesto one. I love that they come in bread bowls! The Picasso salad is great as well and can feed 2-3 people! I love that they have huge servings that you can share. The wings and pizza are great as well!! The only frustrating part about this location is that the parking lot is small and makes it hard to find parking, especially on busy days. Another thing I wish is that Oreganos did reservations! Other than that one of my favorite places to eat! read more

Good service and food. Very large menu. I was please to see how polite and hard working the manager, nate I believe, was. Server was well mannered and attentive. Overall good experience. read more

What God's name are they trying to do with the concept of reservations? On Yelp, they say they don't take reservations. On their own website, they say they do take reservations ....THROUGH THE YELP APP!!! So what are they really doing? You NEVER get a table at this place without a massive wait. Food is good, but you wait for the third coming of christ for it to arrive at your table. I used to really like Oreganos, but they need to rethink their service and business model. I won't be visiting for a while, to say the very least! read more

I had some really great deep dish pizza here! It was just beautiful! It was not as good as Lou Malnati's, but it was still excellent. However, my girlfriend however couldn't stand her shrimp pasta, it tasted and smelled WAY too much like the sea and she loves seafood. read more

I've been to this location a few times but this time was the absolute worst! My son and I were seated in the middle of the restaurant at a tall table. We were never acknowledged by a server let alone offered drinks. We sat around and waited for 10 minutes and eventually started to get up to leave. A server came rushing up to us to ask if anyone had helped us. We told him no and nobody had even acknowledged us. The server just offered a week apology and didn't try to retain us. On a Previous visit, there was an infestation of gnats hovering around the bar and side exit. We switched seats and ran into the same pests. The manager did offer a discount off of our meal. I don't think I want to go for a third strike... Very poor atmosphere here and seemingly high turnover with staff. read more

Seriously lived up to the hype! My boyfriend and I got the Bollo Pasta, and it was the greatest deal! 2 bowls of heavenly pasta for less than $10! We were so filled by that, we could barely take 2 bites of the pizza we ordered! But our family sure was glad we saved so much of that delicious pie for them!! Cannot wait to come back! It's a new favorite for sure!! And those pun-ny t-shirts are GOLDEN!! read more

What has happened to Oregano's? Use to be a petty good pizza, not any longer. Seems as thou the recipe has changed. The sauce they used at a point in time or at the beginning was very good, now it seems as though it's just a paste of some low cost band and not even a sauce any longer. I've tried several locations to see if it was just one place, although not the case. Each and every location has changed. Thank god Chicago's Lou Malnati's is now in town and is continuing to establish many locations. Lou has it right and I think Oregano's needs to step-up their game if they expect to stay competitive! read more

My partner and I had dinner there last night. We had a issue with another customer about gays and racism. The management and staff were amazing and said they had a 0 tolerance policy for hate. The food is also amazing. We will be there more often now. Thank you for everything Oregano's we are proud of you! read more

My girlfriend and I literally come here at least once a week. Great food. Great atmosphere. Wait-times varies for the day of the week and time of day, so I'd suggest plan accordingly and don't get pissed off if you wait for a little bit. The food is worth the wait. #yourewelcome read more

A friend from work and I had the displeasure of dining here for lunch today. We're only given an hour for lunch, but we thought that would give us plenty of time since we came right at 11am. We ordered the large Caesar salad to share. We asked for ADDITIONAL dressing on the side. What we got was the salad with NO dressing on it and one tiny container on the side. Clearly not what we asked for, but we improvised and just asked for additional containers so we could eat. And then we waited....waited....nothing. Finally had to flag down a bus boy to get our original server to explain what happened and why we needed more. He seemed dazed and confused, but got us some additional dressing cups. Salad out of the way, we waited on the pizza we ordered. And we waited.....and waited....finally it arrives. We asked for a thin crust pepperoni with mushrooms on half of the pizza. What came to us was a PAN pizza, and to top it off, the mushrooms were hidden so we had no idea which half of the pizza they were on. Again, dazed and confused server was told about the pizza mix up. He argued with my friend that this was what we ordered and then took the pizza back to the kitchen to discern which side the mushrooms were on. Rather than reject it and send it back for what we originally ordered, we decided to eat it because it had taken so long we were now late getting back to work. The pizza was WAY over salted, much too much oregano on it to the point it was hideous tasting. I choked half my slice down and was done. Server never apologized for anything that went wrong, nor any offers to take the wrong pizza off the bill. Terrible service and terrible pizza. Does this place even have a manager? We won't be back. read more

Spent 10 minutes on hold when trying to place a pick up order on my lunch hour. Finally hung up and called back and then spent another 5 minutes on hold. When someone finally answered I was told my little order of one salad wouldn't be ready for over an hour. Obviously my lunch hour isn't that long so . Very frustrating. read more

We went last night for my Birthday dinner! Food took awhile to come out and when eggplant came was not good and barley warm. Then got the cookie dessert as that's why we go there and it came out in a aluminum bowl thing!!! Really was horrible and so disappointed. Ask server what happened as wasn't same and as warm, said they were out of skillets and didn't want us to wait to wash them. Really???? This visit was very disappointing! Server was really trying though on his part, as not his fault! read more

Yum!! Great service from Michael tonight 1/21! Food is always great and I love how friendly everyone is at this particular location. We will of course be back! read more

Better than buccas mushroom plate was a 5***** our service was great will be going again

If I had a no stars choice I would give that. This is my first ever Yelp review. We used to frequent this place and really enjoyed it. The food and service WAS good. Somewhere along the way the menu totally changed, not for the better. Today, extremely dissatisfied with the food. We called in for take out. The thin crust pizza is really a cheese crisp on cardboard. We ordered a gluten free Alfredo pasta with chicken, barely any sauce and no chicken. Really just cooked pasta with not enough sauce to even touch half of the pasta. Whatever it was that I ordered just wasn't good. Called back to explain and waited on hold for 5 mins waiting for a manager. Either a redo or refund would have been fine. I hung up. Unfortunately most of the food went in the garbage. My wife had a bowl of cereal. I guess we will live. Lesson learned, not going back or recommending to anyone. read more

This is such a good family restaurant to dine in, the employees are extremely friendly and make you feel right at home. They serve high quality food and for such a low price, I definitely recommend having work dinners, family dinners or date night here. They also give big portions as well so you'll be satisfied and often have some to take home. Overall, my experience here is always great and they always leave me satisfied and full. read more

Off-peak times are best for Oregano's because this place gets busy. Food is good, service is aight but the pizzookie is where it's at. One thing Oregano's fails at it is attempting to be green. Glasses of water served with straws. Straws should not be provided automatically. Takeaway containers provided with plastic bags. For the love of God, let people ASK for straws and plastic bags. By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. We can ALL work together to do our part. read more

Not a fan at all! I've been here twice and both have been a negative experience. The first occasion I ordered a salad which didn't settle to well with me. The second time I got a salty pizza. Maybe I'm ordering the wrong thing or maybe Oregano's and I aren't a match. Also on the second occasion the service was not up to par. MAYBE I'll give it another shot? read more

Wow...Let me start off with letting you know I have been a cook for 25 years and I understand everything that goes on in the industry. I just picked up a Mac n cheese and a pizza and unfortunately the Mac and cheese hit the ground and half of it spilled onto the parking lot at my car. Shit happens. I picked it all up and went back in and asked if they could replace it. The manager said he couldn't replace it without charging for it again because "they made it right." Menu price is $5.49. Oregano's cost? Maybe $1. Never once in 25 years in any kitchen have I said that we couldn't or wouldn't replace it without charging, because we appreciated our customers and their business . Would you charge me twice if my 4 year old knocked it on the ground and were at a table? Or if your server dropped it? The idea that you are ok with me delivering sub-par parking lot spiced Mac and cheese tells me many things. Mainly you don't care about your job, your reputation or your food. I have many friends in the industry and this story will go long and far. Enjoy. read more

Normally I love this place! The food is great but the service is not. I called to place an order for pickup at 8:30pm. Just two salads that's it. They told me it wouldn't be ready until 9:45pm, no joke. Are you freaking kidding me? The waitress said it was because of their ordering system. I don't know their system but it seems like a terrible one if you have to wait over an hour for salads. read more

Lonnng wait to sit. Lonng wait to eat. Not even that good of pizza nothing special. Pretty pricey. Bazooki is really yummy though! read more

The bright spot for me about this place is the big portions unfortunately I dont really like their food. Not so much the food but I really do not like their tomato sauce. read more

Oregano's, never lets me down. Food is amazingly delicious! The only flaw is how long it takes for them bring out your food. By the time the food comes out your about to chew on the flesh of the person right next to you because your so hungry. read more

This is the BEST taste of home (Chicago) there is in Arizona!!! The thin crust pizza is delicious, the stuffed pizza is awesome, and their pasta is amazing! My husband and I recently started going here within the last two months and we are definitely regulars now. One time we had to wait about an hour but during our wait they served the crowd pizza as they waited. I thought that was awesome! This business rocks...and definitely gets 5-stars from me!!! read more

I had lunch here with a business group and had a great experience. The food was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Additionally, I left my credit card by accident and they mailed it back to me in Colorado. So a great place for good comfortable food and dependable staff - in all senses of the word! read more

Horrible service! I am typically very forgiving amd patient with wait staff, but this service was beyond bad.

First time me and my kids went there, Loved the place. Staff is very friendly and the food was great. Me and my children will surely be returning. The Chicago style thin crust pizza was amazing and the chocolate chip pizza with ice cream dessert made our meal even better. It would have gotten 5 stars but the wait for a table was a little to long. read more

Is it just me, or has Oregano's quality gone down the dumper? The last few times I've eaten there, the food was mediocre at best. Oregano's Best (or favorite?) salad used to be the bomb. Now it is a bomb. Skimpy on the ingredients, not as fresh as it used to be, overall, underwhelming. Had the Bollo Pasta while at their outlet in Flagstaff yesterday. Garlic bread had no garlic on it, and their marinara tasted like it came straight out of a Ragu jar only with added water. YUCK! Waitress asked if I wanted more, or a box for what I couldn't get down. "No thank you!" Now need to convince my friend who thinks Oregano's is the best place ever that it really sucks. Wish me luck. read more

I grew up going to Oreganos with my dad on our annual trips to Tempe and now, every time I visit AZ, I ALWAYS get dinner here... sometimes twice. Always the same order: cheese pizza and a classic pizzookie. Really really fun atmosphere and consistently kind staff and good food. Can't wait to be back in AZ for another weekend of Oreganos. read more

I ordered a pizza for take out and asked that it have anchovies added. (Yes, I'm one of those people.) When I got home, I discovered that they put on artichokes instead of anchovies. It was too late to return it and get a new pizza so I just pulled of the artichokes and ate the pizza. I sent an email to their guest services mailbox describing the problem and asking for some kind of consideration the next time I ate there. They did not even do me the courtesy of replying to my message. No "we're sorry." No "you ate the pizza so there was no problem." NOTHING! This is pretty poor customer service. This had been my go-to restaurant for Chicago style pizza. I'll be looking for a new restaurant. Fortunately, I there are a lot more choices now. read more

My boyfriend and I came in to eat on a Friday night, which is always a chaotic time at oreganos. We chose to eat at the bar and ordered drinks and a very modified pizza (being previous employees at another location and regulars!). Our pizza did not come out as we asked, which was completely okay because I'm a diva and it was an annoying order, but Mika ensured that we were taken care of. She brought out garlic bread for me while we waited and the manager ensured we were served the pizza we wanted. I always recommend oreganos to my friends but will certainly continue to recommend the camelback oreganos from here on out. read more

My family and I have been going there for years (it is walking distance) and the service has always been slow but tonight it was extremely and painfully slow. Our server, Ian, was great but I really don't think we will be going back. It is convenient but this delay with our food was not much fun especially with kids. Thank you Ian for being such a good sport but otherwise not a good time. I guess the kicker was when we arrived it was not very busy. read more

So Yummy! Great service from Sarah! Long wait but worth the food! Thanks for having my party and I for my moms birthday! Pizza cookie rocks!

This place is so overrated . We ate at the one in Cave Creek and the service was slow and they got our order totally wrong. The manager was extremely rude and incompetent at best! This place has forgotten its roots and needs to get back to the basics of providing good food at a reasonable price instead of hiring smart ass kids to run their business! read more
