I had not eaten at Oregano's in a few years and ate there last night with family. While I usually order their thin crust pizzas, last night I was very hungry and decided to go with their pan pizza. I remembered having one of these many years ago at their restaurant on Dobson and Southern and remembered that it was a real feast and prepared Chicago style with the cheese on the bottom and a lot of tomato laden sauce on the top. I was disappointed to see a deflated pan pizza arrive. It was sparsely adorned with sauce with a few small diced pieces of tomato here and there, but finding these was a bit of a treasure hunt. Dutch was our waiter and he was handling many tables but was very attentive and friendly. I asked him about what happened to their pan pizza and he mentioned that the recipe changed about a year ago and they have received many complaints about it since the change. Overall, the food is good, service is excellent, and the thin crust pizza is one of the best I have had. I strongly recommend that you avoid Oregano's pan pizza as it is now one of the worst I have ever had anywhere. This is sad as it used to be really amazing. If you are looking for good deep dish/pan pizza I recommend Nello's. read more

This El Diablo Shrimp Pasta is the best dish that this place has to offer. It's just spicy enough to wake up your taste buds, the shrimp are huge, and the flavor is simply delicious. My server thought he was a comedian, but I told him not to quit his day job.. Lol. He made the experience fun though, so kudos to him for that. This was my first time at the Queen Creek location, but it all tastes the same whichever one you visit. This is my favorite dish. I highly recommend you try it if you love spicy food like me. read more

Oregano's - El Diablo Shrimp Pasta - Pizza Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This restaurant's food quality has suffered tremendously. We have been coming here for years and the last two times have been worse and worse. The marina sauce was horrible...this place is definitely not like it used to be. Portion size is waaay smaller in regard to everything ordered. We will not be coming back. This was a favorite holiday season destination for family in town. We cannot trust the quality as of now. read more

The Italian Gold Wings are always so delicious! Service was a tad slow; not blaming the server though since it was just him and maybe one other in the whole restaurant. The old TVs playing old shows definitely fit the theme of the restaurant, but it would be cool if they at least had some TVs playing sports at the bar. read more

Kennedy was a great waitress, no complaints whatsoever. I had called for Kennedy and her Hostess immediately came over to attend to us. I told the hostess that the Beefstro salad had NO chilis and that I would like for her to correct this. She offered to get me "some chilis", thinking that she would bring me back some sauted chilis, but instead she brought me back a dipping cup of chopped chilis. To add insult to injury, she called across the room to Kennedy to charge me for extra chilis. The service was superb, but the handling of my legitimate complaint was unacceptable. I did not short Kennedy of her well earned tip, however, I did not generously tip because of the handling of my complaint. Nothing wrong with the food, the handling of the lack of chilis in the salad (maybe the cook forgot to put chilis in?) earned this Oreganos a poor rating and a shorted tip. I asked about the membership scan and Kennedy said this store was under new ownership and that they didn't "do" the scans. If this new owner wants to earn the trust of its customers, the owner needs to teach the hostess how to handle legitimate, small complaints. read more

Shopping at IKEA and needed lunch!! Decided on Oreganos. It's been awhile since going to one. Greeted warmed and seated. Savannah was our server. She was so sweet and helpful. We wanted the zucchini appetizer. They were out of it. She recommended the Artichoke spinach dip. It was delicious! Sister ordered the meatball sandwich with fries. I ordered the sausage sandwich with chips. Both huge sandwiches and quite good. I will say the sausage sandwich should have had some peppers/ onions and sauce. It had cheese. That's it. read more

Amazing service and door was spectacular! Will Definitely be returning again and again!! Highly recommend!! read more

I had the Pablo Picasso salad, the Guac-a-Tony, and Mac n Cheese. The portions are huge (one salad or guac a tony can feed two people). I found the salad too heavy and rich. The guac and cheesy bread in the guac a tony didn't go well together in my opinion. And the Mac n cheese was very average. The server was very nice and checked up on us a lot- maybe a little too much. Overall, I didn't love the food but I definitely can see this being enjoyable for someone who likes this type of food. read more

Our server was Cody and he may be one of the best servers we have ever had. Beyond friendly and the perfect amount of attention paid to us. Food is always excellent! Two of us split the Hakuna Piccata and the Pablo salad. The salad is huge and is full of flavor and is the perfect size for a meal by itself. The Hakuna Piccata was excellent! The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sauce with the capers was extremely flavorful. read more

I decided to try this restaurant in Tempe on Elliot Road for the first time and the girl that waited on me was nice. she took my order but I waited 40 minutes and the appetizer never showed up. I asked the waitress what was taking so long and she said shift change so only one guy was in the back preparing the food for dinner and I would have to wait for him to make my dish. WTF. you've got to be kidding me. I will never go back to this place ever again. and there's only three people in the restaurant so it's not like the cook had several meals to prepare there was nobody in there eating. read more

Great food, great service, timely for a quick lunch. Eat here often at lunchtime and always satisfied. read more

I've been coming here since before I was 21. I'm 35 now. I still get the same thing I did back then El Diablo Pasta with Chicken substitute for angel hair. I'm about to move to Tampa and I will for sure miss oreganos. read more

Great little Italian restaurant- Cute environment, cozy, great food, good deals!! When I get to Phoenix again I am there! read more

We love Oreganos and always eat here when we're in town. Food is delicious, and prices are very reasonable. Why the 4 stars? Our service needed improvement, she put in the wrong order for my husband... but he was ok with the change of entrée. However we got our food and my daughter waited about 10-15 min for hers ... my son ordered a 2nd helping of the spaghetti & meat sauce and it was missing the meat. It's always busy but you get seated fairly quickly. They have a lot of must try dishes, hakuna picata is my fave and big enough to share (it comes with 2 large pieces of chicken)! My son loves regular spaghetti with meat sauce and last night we discovered its all you can eat! My daughter always orders the chicken parm. We love their wings but didn't get them last night. You will not be disappointed with anything you order! read more

The food and service at Oregano's has been consistently good. My personal favorite is the Hakuna Piccata. The 1950s and 60s homey Italian vibe goes well with the food. I've been going to this local franchise for about 25 years or so and cannot recall a negative experience at any location. read more

Spring Break 2024 lunch stop at Oregano's was a wonderful experience which I highly recommend. Service was great, food was amazing and ambiance was nice. Will definitely be back again to try other menu items the next time I'm in town. read more

While my family was in town for the weekend, we decided to go to Oregano's for dinner. GREAT choice indeed! I had the Rigatony and my family members split a Pan pizza with pepperoni, sausage, & mushrooms on it. We also had a house salad which we all split since it was huge and an order of the cheesy garlic bread. I took home the remains of the salad, cheesy garlic bread, pizza, &!yes, even my Rigatony! Lunches and dinners for this week! This just goes to show just how much food you get when you order here: you definitely get your money's worth and then some! Service is really good here and the staff are very accommodating and helpful. The restaurant is always clean and tidy. I will always return here. read more

I am obsessed with the Diablo Chicken Pasta! It is one of my favorite pasta dishes of all time. When I was pregnant, I craved that dish all the time. It is normally served with shrimp but I prefer chicken. The sauce is cream based and quite spicy! They finish it with cotija cheese and a side of garlic bread. Delicious! I can eat this every day! Service is always good and it's a nice family friendly restaurant. My boyfriend loves the Lady is a Scampi pasta with shrimp! We haven't strayed away from the dishes we order since we started coming here regularly years ago. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Excellent food. I love their chicken piccata. It's quite craveable. The service and the ambiance in the restaurant are always spot-on, and the manager and staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. read more

Usually, I am a big fan of Oregano's but the last two times we came here, it's been a disappointment. We ordered takeout and when I came to pick up our order, I was told that they were out of the normal chicken for my pasta and they could substitute it for sliced chicken. Yep, no problem - I told them to go for it. Once I got home, I found they gave me 3 small slices of chicken. The dish I ordered is advertised as having "two huge chicken breasts". Lame. My husband's Alfredo of the Dark tasted like nothing... no flavor, no spice, nada. The caesar salad was good though. Big shout out to their croutons! Overall, I don't think I'll be back and will continue the hunt for great Italian food on this side of Phoenix. read more

in my opinion the pasta is just not that good I've tried the Alfredo and also tried chicken parm (cant remember exactly what its called) and they just weren't for me. Caesar salad is great, they used nice and crunchy lettuce. their chocolate chip pizookie is AMAZING, I've gone there just for that and some salad. service is pretty good and the interior is cute. read more

My favorite go to's at any oreganos-- deep dish pizza, dry rub wings with a side of ranch, bada bing pasta, and of course a pizzookie! As with all of the oreganos this location has easy parking and access and the interior is like the others -- family style ambiance with ample seating, both indoors and outdoors. Service was quick and drinks always fill. Food came out as expected and hot. read more

The food was yummy- big amount of food for each plate. We definitely had leftovers, yum! We also had a pazookie to end the night. The only issues were the water cup served had something stuck on it like a pepper, and the server didn't use a serving tray to carry our drinks. They held a cup in each hand and another under their arm near their armpit. Not a huge fan about that :/ However, they were a great server and was also on top of refills. read more

The server was pleasant and as always, we love the atmosphere of Oregano's. However, something was off about the sauce. It was chunky and cold. Usually they hook it up on the noodle department, but there was hardly any with my Chicken Parmesan. When it came time to pay, it took 20 minutes to catch her attention, ask for the bill and wait for her to pick up our card even though there was hardly anyone there. I would like to come back again and give this place another shot. It wasn't all bad. read more

Stopped by on Saturday for lunch. Decided to sit at the bar. Ordered an large pepperoni pizza and a side Caesar salad. Food was good. Service was a little weird, server seemed upset and frustrated. Server made my fiancé and I feel like we were a burden. read more

Love Oreganos; good food for a fair price. Be sure to arrive early; the wait is always long

Between food, service, and ambiance, this place checks all boxes. Our family loves the dinner experience, especially if we're getting salad and pizza. read more

I've been coming to Oreganos for YEARS and my favorites has always been: Big Beefstro Salad - ordered with no jalapeños but EXTRA fried onions. It's honestly hit or miss though with the beef. Sometimes it's a bit grisly so be prepared to send it back if the beef isn't high quality that day. But my latest obsession is now: Stuffed Riga Tony - with the meat sauce. Take it from me and order the garlic bread. SO GOOD and the cheesy bread is good too. Always ordered a Shirley temple. AND. House salad. Their ranch is also so delicious. This latest visit I had just about the best server ever. Not sure how our table got so lucky. His name was BRIAN and he was full of energy and took care of our table so well. Joked around with us and had a great time. It was like we had forgotten all about the crazy world for an hour. I never felt I was bothering him or annoying him with all of our requests. Our food was delicious (thanks chef!) and with our great service... I'll always come back and ask for Brian. read more

My overall experience was good. I wasn't impressed with the food or service. It's a little overpriced for what you get. The service was slow even though restaurant was not overly busy. read more

Ordered online and had missing items. The sandwich did supposed to come with a side, a pick and coleslaw. I never got the coleslaw and my boyfriend LOVES it. Very disappointing read more

This location has to be the absolute worst ones we visited. The Alfredo the dark was the only decent thing, but it was luke warm at best. However, the next two dishes were an absolute nightmare. It took them longer to bring out the appetizer than our actual food. We managed to get an extremely oily and unedible boom dip. While I understand it can be a little oily, this was FAR too much and it also had little to no cheese. Lastly, the cookie we ordered was too underdone and we didn't finish this. My Fiance ended up getting food poisoning from this location and is now having to deal with this for the next 24/48hrs. Absolutely not worth the 36 dollars I paid.. read more

Something definitely changed since we were here many years ago, which was one of our favorites and we normally ate here weekly. We moved and aren't in the neighborhood anymore. We decided to come back because we used to love this place. What was interesting was that their parking lot was close to empty on a Saturday at 12:30 pm. There was no waiting. That was my second clue that something changed. We would always wait any time of day. We received our drinks which sweat and we needed coasters or even a napkin underneath as water was going everywhere. I noticed no one had coasters and the bar had no napkins anywhere. My first thought was they were cutting costs and the napkins/ coasters had to go. We shared a house salad. It had 2 tomatoes, 2 peppers, onion and a lot of croutons. It was weird. It looked like dried up lettuce with a few toppings. I realized it's the house salad but this is not at all the quality I remembered. We had a pan pizza and it was delicious. Our server was friendly and quick. It was just not the same experience we had many years ago. read more

The servings are huge, which as an American, it's in our blood to crave. Oregano's will keep you FED. The food itself is pretty good! I wouldn't say anything better than Olive Garden or another Italian chain, but it's cute! An easy place for families with quick service and a casual environment. read more

I ordered from Oregano's in July 2020 to get their 2 for $28 deal with a two entrees, a desert pizookie and a salad. For our entrees, we ordered the chicken parmesan and the baked ziti. We had our order delivered via DoorDash and it was great because we also got free delivery. The portions are the same as if you were dining at the restaurant and everything was tasty, per usual. I forgot the baked ziti comes in a bread bowl, which is a bit much for me. I probably would opt for a pasta that doesn't come in the bread bowl next time. After we ate our entrees, we heated the pizookie in our toaster oven to capture the true pizookie experience. I have also been here since our delivery experience and they did a good job at distancing customers from one another and still providing the usual service that I get when I come to Oregano's. We also got our food pretty quickly. read more

Quack! First and last time coming here. When I arrived was told they messed up a pizza and I had to wait 15 more minutes for them to remake. After 15 minutes I got my two pizzas and both were wrong Margarita did not have basil and the combo one had bell peppers when we ordered no peppers. Why make me wait 15 extra minutes for another wrong pizza? I went back in and brought it to the restaurant attention . I found it telling that the manager never once came to address the situation. The cashier just apologized and added basil to the margarita and I left with one wrong pizza It really doesn't get much worse for a customer experience than this. Quack! read more

We had an issue with our order. So why would I give a 5-Star Rating? Because the manager came over IMMEDIATELY and handled the situation. Our pizza was not as ordered and when the new one arrived (still a little off) he said "the pizza is on us as we messed up." That is great service. David, our server, was very apologetic and checked on us to ensure we were doing alright during the remainder of our visit. BTW-We also ordered the Antipasto Salad. WARNING: IT IS HUGE!!!! It could feed 4 people no problem. Very tasty. We have dined here before and will be back. read more

My boyfriend and I ordered the thin crust 18" Clark Street pizza and a side of boneless wings with fries. We ordered to-go and the wait was almost an hour! We were told they had a new person making the wings so it was taking longer than usual. When we finally got our food we ate the fries and wings first. The wings were way overdone and the fries were very greasy. But the sauces we got were really good! Too bad the wings didn't go as well. The pizza, however, was really good! The thin crust was crispy and had a great taste. The toppings were all wonderful and went really well with the thin crust. If you go here definitely stick to the pizza and don't bother with the other menu items. read more

Cody was an excellent server! Talkative and made our dinner enjoyable. He recommended the cheese curds on the menu that were very good, and the pan pizza was good as well. Great dinner and server read more

I honestly love this place!!! The ambiance is always fun and cozy!!! The food is always good and the service is always on point and friendly. I went there today and ordered the cheese chomp with garlic parm as the seasoning... it was okay i wouldn't order it again but im happy i tried it. I honestly thought it was going to be like a mozzarella stick but it was more like a cheese curd... but very hard... on the other hand i got the 12" pan pizza with bacon and let me tell you !!!! it was delicious!! 100% recommend!! I was craving something sweet after all that bread so i got the HALF CHOCOLATE CHIP AND MACADAMIA NUT Pan cookie and it was AWESOMEEEE!!!! sooooo goooddd!!! especially if you can't decide what cookie you want!! All for 40$ is a steal. :) read more
