Nice pizza spot. It's a chain so there's that but it was still pretty decent. I got a thin crust pizza, fried zucchini and a pizza cookie last night and all were well prepared (although no utensils/napkins were included with my to go order). The service was also excellent, the bartender came by wrapped up my order, which was ready on time, and was very nice. I will be stopping by again and recommend you do you. read more

Awesome food and drinks. Make sure you leave room for dessert (I recommend the chocolate chip pizzookie) read more

Never disappointed..... EVER !!! Came in for Mother's Day... had a little wait...totally expected but they were able to seat us all together. The food was great, the service was fast and the whole experience was great. We all had different dishes and everything was tasty and came out fast. I will be back again. YUMMY !! read more

This place is ok. Nothing spectacular. I went in by myself so I took a seat at the bar. I ordered a big salad and although it was big it was lacking toppings for the amount of lettuce. There were 4 croutons, 2 thin slices of tomatoes and sliced onion. I ordered the shrimp scampi with the chipotle sauce. The portion was good but most of my shrimp was over cooked. It had that rubbery texture while biting and chewing it. I feel 3 stars is appropriate. The bartender Kassandra was great. It was busy and I was a single person eating but she was very attentive and awesome. I would give Kassandra 5 stars. read more

This location has the kindest bartender that has remembered my soft drink concoction for maybe three years now. I usually dine here during lunch. The bar area is usually the best bet for quick seating as it's seat yourself. I do quite enjoy their Pablo Picasso Salad and that they serve it with some presentation. The Salad is a meal portion in itself so be advised to bring your appetite. read more

If I could give this Oregano's location a negative zero stars I would for this horrible meal! (See photo of slop) The supposedly meat sauce was like red paste similar to glue and slop. Was obviously pre-made and was sitting in a hot box! Horrible was to treat people especially during the COVID-19 epidemic. The lady at the take out pick up was like a snotty nose brat and rude. The Chicken Salad we ordered with this tasteless slop taste like it was chemically affected and saved it to give to the Arizona Board of Health. Bottom line is we ended up going to Denny's on Rural and Elliott where they appreciated us and the food was great and no pretentious drama and great customer service! It's to bad cause in the past the food was great... you lost your edge, customer service and waisted our time. read more

Please do not believe the hype. We have gone to Oreganos twice before posting a review like this. The first trip was a Saturday night and was super busy. The food was late to our table, cold, undercooked, but the customer service was so good that we needed to give Oreganos another shot. This time the food was mediocre at best, as was the customer service. We were disappointed by the shrimp scampi and lasagna, but the pizza did not fail us. Summary - unless you want pizza, you might want a different restaurant. read more

The place is not very large and should be larger. We arrived before 6 and were told they get busy about 630. We had a twenty five minute wait to sit inside. The menu has all kind of options. The sign warns you to order stuffed or Chicago style early while you are in line. They take 45 minutes to cook a stuffed pizza! It's worth it. I was really wanting to try the big rig rigatoni with the chipotle sauce. But we tried the zucchini sticks, and the long wait for stuffed crust would mean taking a pizza home. The zucchini sticks are really good served with ranch, I think I would try to get marinara sauce too next time. So they bring this chuck of pizza in a deep 10" pan. The sauce and cheese are nice and toasty. With pepperoni, sausage, and extra cheese, they can't put it on the pizza stand for fear of collapse! The sausage has a nice little bite. The pepperoni is good but not as good as sausage. The cheese spews out after you cut the pizza apart. Great sauce with a nice sweet and spicy mix. Plenty of real mozzarella cheese. And the crust was prefect. They have great Long Island Ice Tea! At $9, it's not cheap but excellent read more

I love Oregano's. Always a good meal and the servers are fun to engage with and generous with their hospitality. BUT....please, pretty please bring the nachos back! They were soooo good! I'm in Oregano's nacho withdrawal! Will they come back anytime soon?? read more

My daughter & I went out for lunch while running errands! The hostess was extremely friendly but once we sat down our table we had an unfortunate experience. Our waitress seemed uninterested from the start. She took our drink order then placed our food order in. Once our food was brought to our table she did not return. We needed refills & our dressings for our salads not to mentioned the salad my daughter got was not the salad she ordered. The waitress finally came back to our table with the check and did not charge us for the lunch salads we had ordered, she up-charged us for regular sized salads. We had specifically pointed to the salads on the menu and said that we wanted the add on side salads. We have been in a few times before and we were extremely let down by our experience this time today! We will not be returning, even though my daughter is a HUGE fan! read more

I thought I'd written a review for Oregano's. We like Oregano's, normally, the Bellini is my favorite drink ever. Tonight our experience wasn't that good. I've emailed the corporate office, a copy of that email is below. Tonight my husband and I went to the Oregano's located on Priest and Elliott in Tempe, AZ. We go to that location a couple times a month. Tonight we ordered our regular order of Belini, Pepsi, Boom dip, Bollo Pasta, and Italian Stuffed sandwich. On the way through the dining area the wings smelled really good. At first I didn't want to wait for them, then I decided, I'd order them and take them home. We were out on the patio. As the waitress was packing up our left overs, she kept taking them inside.We heard a commotion just inside the door and I turned around to see a box on the floor with the familiar checked paper sticking out. Four of the wait staff gathered to discuss what to do. I told my husband "they are going to give me the wings like nothing happened". And that is exactly what they did. They put the wing box on the bottom, my leftover Bollo on top in the bag and set it down. She took my husbands sandwich to box and when she came back. I asked: "was that my wings that just dropped" and the waitress replied "oh but we're getting you a new order". I'm irritated by this point, the manager came out and said "we've taken the charge off your bill, and we are getting you a FULL order of wings". Well, it was 12 of 14 wings, I had left, so this wasn't much of huge difference for me. I returned the dropped wings. We decided to leave before receiving the wings. I'm not upset that my wings dropped. I'm upset that they weren't upfront about it, and I'm upset that the manager was acting like she was doing me a favor. What I believe should have happened was; The server should have came to me, said "hey the box dropped, but nothing fell out, we can give you these wings, and take them off your tab, or we can make you new wings but it will take 20 mins". This leaves the options up to me while maintaining the honesty in the relationship. Please do not make this about the server, this is obviously the influence of bad management as there was more than one server involved. We won't be back for a while. We're not sure if we should even eat the left overs, who knows what happened out of our eye sight? read more

Oregano's was able to seat our party of six with no wait on a Sunday after church. That makes it A-ok in my book. I hadn't eaten breakfast and at 12:30, I was pretty famished. I ordered the hot wings. EEEEEE-gads! Those things were spicy! I had ordered wings from Oregano's before, but I must have ordered the Medium wings because I don't remember them having chunks of chili peppers all over them like these did. They were pretty good in an uncomfortable sort of way. :) The service was adequate, but I would not call it friendly service. The pizza got rave reviews by all the adults who tried it. The garlic bread was pretty tasty. The kiddo's meal of cheese pizza was not well-received. She thought it was terrible and ignored it in favor of the garlic bread. I didn't try it, but it looked like ultra thin crust with extra greasy cheese on it. In other words, kids should love it. Of course, my kiddo tried the Margherita pizza at Pizzeria Bianco (which I was prepared for her to hate) and she called it "the best pizza ever." Yes, I am raising a little foodie. Oregano's is a really good alternative to other chains. I eat there about once every year or so. It is not really a destination restaurant, but the food is good and not having to wait to eat on a Sunday afternoon is priceless. read more

I love Oreganos, but I also love gorgonzola. The two of you were good together, and then last night my BFF and I found out you left Gorgonzola to go back to your "roots". That means no Gorgonzola vinaigrette... it also meant no Gorgonzola on the salad. Actually the fancy mixed green salad was ditched for its predecessor, the old style salad. So the menu prices keep going up, but the food quality investment is going down. I understand how supply and demand works, but it shouldn't work that way for a "mom and pop" shop. I am a salad lover, I want to start my meal the right way. Then last night I was offered balsamic dressing which actually translated to olive oil and balsamic reduction for my circa 1999 old style salad. If you want to keep the regulars who helped you build your roots, please stop raising your prices and changing the menu. Committing to a 20 minute wait on a weekday starts to seem silly when your favorite menu items go missing (hahem ... peanut butter pizzuci). read more

This review is for the location on Elliot Rd in Tempe, however a lot of my comments apply to the entire chain. I've been to Oregano's many times since moving to the Phoenix area, and up until recently it was my favorite pizza place in the valley. However since they have changed their menu things have really seemed to go downhill. The menu variety has been reduced drastically, many of the items that were my favorites are not even available any more (Chipotle Chicken Club Pizza, I'm looking at you). No doubt this was to cut down on food cost, but the result is that a lot of the things that made Oregano's great no longer exist. The execution of the menu items that they do have has been inconsistent for me the last three or four visits. Today at the Elliot location the stuffed pizza that we ordered came out way overdone, the crust was pretty burnt. Anybody that has ordered one of these pizzas before knows that they take nearly an hour to prepare. There was no way we were going to send it back and wait another hour for a replacement. Unfortunately issues like this seem to be becoming common for the chain. I could go on with issues seen during previous recent visits, but the bottom line is that there are too many good pizza places around to spend any more time with this one. I no longer recommend the chain, and probably will not return. read more

Entire staff was warm & friendly. Food delicious! But beware--don't order the pepperoni pizza, Southwest garlic chicken lasagna, or chicken Parmesan if you're on a diet. The big simple house salad with chicken & sweet poblano was huge & delicious. Pizza cookies are great--I prefer the white chocolate macadamia. Yum!!! read more

Stopped by as a recommendation from a friend's coworker to try while we were in Tempe for Spring Training. Have to admit, I usually don't trust the recommendations of people I don't know directly, but they were right about Oreganos. -The place was absolutely packed on Thursday night, one sign of how popular the place must be, especially with the locals. -The service was prompt and courteous. We were never left too long without being checked upon. Their "Legalize Marinara" t-shirts also helped keep my wife entertained because she thought they were taking a stance and legalizing MARIJAUNA... which was highly entertaining -Now to the best part, the food. Our friends got the Chicago stuffed pizza, which had a wait time of 45 minutes, but was so worth the wait. One of the best pizza's I have ever seen, tasted, smelled, etc. My wife and I split one of their salads, which was huge! It was also very good, not quite CPK good, but close. -In summary, if you are looking for good food in a casual atmosphere give Oreganos a try! read more

Disgusted AND offended. Being originally from New York, I'm typically pretty picky when it comes to my Italian cuisine. But GOODNESS, I can't even believe this is considered edible. It was disgusting. The entire dining experience was by far the worst I've seen in a long time. I went in and sat alone, I live right down the road so I was kind of excited to see if there was any chance I could have a place to go when I need to order a pizza. Well gosh, I was wrong. I stood at the doorway for quite a while, the dining room was basically empty, so I'm not sure why it took so long to acknowledge me. The waitress seated me and then left me unattended for about 12 minutes. As a waitress myself, I know that's uncalled for. I ordered a Chicago thin styled pizza: their Margarita with half Pepperoni. It took THIRTY minutes for them to bring it out. And when it arrived, it was burnt on the bottom. It was clear and evident that they do NOT use fresh ingredients. I can't even believe that they could CLASSIFY it as a "Margarita", I was completely appalled. It was diced tomatoes, regular shredded cheese with SHREDDED lettuce, I don't even think it was basil, to be honest. It looked horrendous and the taste was just the same. Once receiving my pizza, the waitress flat out ignored me. I ran out of water and didn't even finish my pizza. I got home and immediately felt sick to my stomach. I ended up throwing up all night, and calling in sick to work. I OVERPAID and I lost hours at work. Good job Oregano's, for taking advantage of the fact that people out here DO NOT know REAL Italian food... You do NOT have me fooled. Repulsive. This is the most angry review I have ever written. read more

STAY AWAY IF YOU DONT WANT TO GET SICK!! Me and my husband went to this location on 6/28. Ordered wings and pizza. We have been to this location a few times and never had a problem. This time, we got food poisoning from the chicken wings! A few hours of eating there we were throwing up and had severe diarrhea! I reported it to the managers the next day. It took them 2 weeks to get back to me. This is after I called them to check up on why no one had called me to follow up. Oregano's wouldn't even refund the wings, after their so called investigation. Bad customer service. They have lost our business for good! read more

I really do like Oregano's Food. I love the feeling in there, and yes it smells really good in here as well. A great part of the Holiday Season was if you bought $100.00 in gift Cards you got a $20.00 gift card for yourself as well. It was a great deal. I think it stopped at Christmas but, I do not know for sure. I love their Pasta, as well as their Pizza, and their salads are very good as well. The customer Service here is always really good as well. How can you go wrong here. Great food, good smells and great Customer Service. It is a win win! read more

Loved this restaurant! My husband and I underestimated how big their plates are though! We ordered a salad with our entrees & we had enough food to last us two more days very tasty food. The vino bambino salad was my favorite & i'm definitely going back for it someday! The frozen Bellinis were good! They definitely had a good amount of alcohol in them read more

45 min wait from being told 30 min . sucks when you have kids with you that are hungry. Then to be all excited for the pizza an its a 45 min wait for the food . An throw in the fact that your starving they suck no offer of a drink of water or wine for the wait read more

I took all my kids for a bday dinner.Jake N was a super awesome server. & handled our party of 5. Wings, pizza & pasta were delish. Thank you. read more

Very pleased with our food and service here. We were greeted right away and shown to a table. Our server was Casey. She is new, but her service was out of this world. Oregano's salads are enormous - so enormous that we can share it between two people and it makes a meal. Being especially hungry this evening, we also got the side of meatballs. They were SOOOO delicious. Can't wait to come back. Best Oregano's experience we've had. Thanks for making it wonderful, Casey! read more

I love, love, love me some Oregano's and I'm so glad I live just a few miles away. Their salads, their sandwiches, appetizers, pizzas and pizookie dessert are all amazing. Serious grub, very affordable, huge portions, a fun atmosphere, super friendly wait staff...this place has it all. The only negative I have ever had is just a personal preference. If you are in a mellow mood or looking for something more romantic on a date night, this isn't the spot. It's LOUD and pretty cramped full of tables, people and antique 'stuff.' Fun if you are in a social mood and don't mind your personal space being invaded often. read more

I've always been a huge fan of Oregano's, but my last time there was unbelievable! I went on Veteran's day with 4 guys- one being a veteran. We mentioned it once that that was why we were out celebrating. When our to go bag was ready, every staff member in the place wrote on the bag to our friend thanking him for his service. After the bag was presented, the staff started coming around the table to shake his hand. It brought tears to all of our eyes. Their appreciation touched all of us- so not only is their food amazing, but the employees that work there are too. De was the best-I highly recommend to sit in her area when you go- very high energy and a sweetheart! My friend Tom says he will keep that to go bag forever. read more

Customer service is great! My favorite dish is the Pablo Picasso Salad. I love the idea of having huge soda cups. And thin crust pizza is delicious. read more

I still gave 5 stars due to the great service atmosphere and customer service,,, but at 8pm out of egg plants :/ not cool. Drove quiet a bit to get here for the egg plants :$ May be next time :) read more

The portions are MASSIVE. But the food is honestly so good, that I wasn't even bothered by it. And the prices are super reasonable! I had the Ziti with green peppers and sausage and I loved it. The sausage was cooked to perfection and had a really great smoky flavor. The decor is also really cool. They have vintage tvs, and vintage bikes and such and it's definitely neat to look at. I would definitely come back again! read more

Love this place! Was recommended by a friend last year and we went 3 times while at spring training. We are back again this year and have already been here two out of the three nights. This will be a staple for our trips. Service is great, staff is very friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious and portions are more than fair for the price - hope you are hungry! I recommend checking in on line as it can be a long wait. Especially on the weekends. read more

I never had a bad experience at Oreganos until today with our server TRISTON. First off I order tea he doesnt ask if we want black or the other kind, then It all started when I ordered a Pablo picazzo salad without contijo cheese (unpasteurized cheese is a NO NO for pregnant people), his demeanor changed and was a bit pissed off! So he brought the salad and i could see small white crumbled cheese so then I asked again, if he is sure there is no unpasteurized cheese he was visibly pissed took the plate and went to kitchen and drop the food says YOUR GOOD! Then NOT EVEN ONCE did he ask us if everything came out ok , he just brought our food as it came which i ordered (large pablo picasso salad, italian gold wings, kids pizza, calamari and to go pan pizza numero uno).. NO REFILLS ON DRINKS(we asked for a to go tea that was my refill). He also didnt ask us if we want ranch or blue cheese just assumed that we want ranch.. my husband was livid and he wanted to not give him a tip which i refuse our total was 69.67 dollars i gave him 12 bucks since the pizza was to go anyway and I didnt want to be an asshle even though we received the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE!! i told the Manager and the front desk ... I just hope they use it as a learning opportunity!!!I hope they remember that people dont ask for no reason, its a safety concern and if lets say something happened to my unborn child ? it will come back to the company . read more

My first time at Oregano's, and highly disappointed. Had a group of 8, was told that there would be a 20-30 minute wait. That wait turned into an hour. Once we got seated our food order took FOREVER. They seemed to be short staffed in all areas. I don't think I will ever return to this location. read more

After being a transplant in AZ for the last year, everyone always talks about Oregano's is the place to try. Last night was the first time & after a ridiculously long day, we ordered take out on the drive home. Elise took our order with ease, provided an accurate time for pick up & was efficient through the whole process since I arrived a bit earlier than expected. She even made Cherry soda, the right way while I was waiting for our food. Lastly, the food was surprisingly good, chicken parm & the "big rig" pasta! read more

First let me say the portions this place serves are HUGE. My first visit here was with my boss for a lunch meeting. I ordered the pesto pasta bowl. YUMMY. I ate as much as I could and still had enough for lunch again the next day. My kids loved the bread bowl. I had the happy ending infamous cookie dough ice cream. Loved it all. I will have to bring my kids with me next time I visit because I see that they give the kids pizza dough to play with while they wait for their food. read more

People love this restaurant--I'm not sure why. I went to two different locations during my visit to the Phoenix area. The first visit I had the salad with the shaved jalapeño seasoned beef. Beef was good, but after a while, a lump of beef on top of nothing but lettuce became boring and not such a wonderful meal. My second visit I decided to get one of the thin crust vegetarian pizzas--again, nothing to shout about. The people I was with ordered pasta dishes--a ton of food! Maybe that is why people love this place? I didn't dare ask "why?", but decided it wasn't on the top of my list for favorites. read more

The main course came out before the appetizer :( and considering their portions this is not a good thing. Seeing how much food we were served made us tell them to x the app. I was really hoping to have the artichoke lasagna but came in a week too early for it to make it to the menu. My partner loved the Diablo shrimp. read more

I was told about this place by some friends and so I had to check it out for myself. I had high expectations since everybody at my work told me about how great this Oregano's was. It was my first time there and service was real slow, my family and I ordered pizza, pasta and wings (that took like 40 min to arrive). I walked in, was greeted and got seated right away. So I asked the waiter about a few thing on the menu that I could eat and I settled on the spaghetti with a Caesar salad. There was a bunch of fun, young servers. My server was Colin, who was efficient and friendly. This location of Oregano's was very clean and the servers were polite; it seems to be run by management that keeps a tight ship. The location was decorated in a fun and modern way, with multiple decorations hanging from the walls and ceiling. I was seated about a half hour before they were closing, and the staff was happy to serve my group past 10 pm, when the doors are normally shut. I would have preferred more dressing on the salad, but I should have asked for some more at the time. The spaghetti was delicious and came smothered in a spicy red sauce and grilled chicken. The pasta bowl was somewhat small, but filled me up with my salad and an order of cheesy bread. The menu contained a variety of build-your-own pasta choices, which looked delicious, along with a section of pizzas. My friend ordered a personal pepperoni and sausage pizza that looked delicious. I did not look at the dessert options on their menu but was told that they offer desserts. Their drink menu was expansive and offered many options of beer, wine, and cocktails. I ordered a soda and received it nearly immediately. The food was a bit pricey for my budget as it wasn't a huge upgrade over a less expensive option like Olive Garden or Chompies. I spent almost thirty dollars on my meal, splitting one appetizer and ordering a pasta and side salad. However, if I had only got a pasta and drink, my meal would have been almost half the price, making Oreganos a good option for individuals with varying budgets. This Oregano's has the best service and the food was delicious! Our server was great and provided refills as needed. I would say out of all the locations, this one is probably the best one! I would recommend over and over and find myself coming back several times a week for the ambiance and servers who treat you like friends and not just customers! Oregano's is a really good alternative to other chains. It is not really a destination restaurant, but the food is good and not having to wait to eat on a Sunday afternoon is priceless. Oreganos is a good sit down experience for people like myself who usually eat out at chains. read more

Oreganos is one of my favourite places to eat. I have eaten at pretty much all of the locations and love them. I have had good luck too as far as the food is concerned also. I think only two times we had issues. Now for this trip to this location. We spent most of the afternoon purchasing a new car. We were hungry and this place was on the way home. Knowing the good reputation for Oreganos we stopped by for some solid pizza. This is how it went good for me and bad for the better half. We got there and there was a wait of about 10 - 20 minutes. We ordered a deep dish sausage and peperoni. I asked if would be okay to have a stuff tonight. She said no because she does not like stuffed. I said okay put the order in. We sit down order some yummy meatballs while we wait. Then the pizza comes and it looks different. She said this is different here. They brought us a stuffed pizza and I am like hell yea. She was like hell no. Something happen and the hostess did a stuffed. I did not care what happen because I prefer stuffed over deep. I was in heaven. The pizza was really good and yummy. I ate just 1 1/2 slices and took the rest home. It was good. I will have the other slices tonight. Like I said this place is really good. You should try it. read more

it's oregano's. what's not to love??? new things to try - the guaca-tony; guac served with a nekkid pizza crust. i'll forgive them for the ridiculous amounts of raw red onions sprinkled all over. and my fave - the veggie wedge - or big ole vedge as it's now called comes in a JUNIOR!??? love it. read more

I'm not sure why they call it Oregano's, they should call it Garlic's (or Aglio's). Everything is super large portions (not good or bad). The food is very flavorful, but all kinda a bit over-the-top. I feel that if they left off an ingredient or two in some of their pizzas, they'd be better. I'm close to giving it 3 Stars, but the food is so monumentally unhealthy that I rounded down rather than up. read more
