One of my favorite pizza spots - eat here at least once week, and order the special slice and drink

We love Otto! The prices are SO reasonable, $21ish for a X-Large (16") and the pizza is so good. Great crust! Love the tiramisu too. The almond one is a little too sweet for me but the traditional is perfect. They always have slices during the day and lunch specials. read more

I first discovered Otto Pizza & Pastry in 2021. One of my former coworkers from Whole Foods, located across the street, recommended it, and he said he really enjoyed it. After he described the place, I tried it for myself. Otto Pizza & Pastry is among the most incredible pizza places in Tempe. Everything on the pizza tastes fresh, and I particularly enjoy the sauce's flavor. It gives you a nice burst of tomato flavor. They also have great calzones, pastas, sandwiches, and pastries. I have had their cheesecake, and it is some of the best cheesecake I have ever had. The service is friendly and helpful. They are happy to offer any of their best-selling menu items and to ensure you have everything you need. I also like the atmosphere of the place. It is a pleasant, quiet atmosphere where you can enjoy your food while watching TV, with the television on top of the refrigerator, which also houses the pastries. I highly recommend Otto Pizza & Pastry to anyone seeking a great pizza place in Tempe. It is one of the more underrated pizza places, and it deserves more respect. I am eager for my next visit. read more

I did not come back to visit for a long long time. This is my first time getting a slice. In the past, we always got a whole pie. Pizza is delicious with lots of toppings. They could get busy really fast during the weekday lunch. Don't miss the desserts! They are so good. read more

Let's leave it short and sweet. Over priced and not knowing how to make a pizza. Who in their right mind would give this a 5 star? read more

I had a Greek slice with feta, red onions and olives. I burned the roof of my mouth trying to get to it. Just be patient. The crust was thin but firm enough to hold the toppings that covered almost the entire pie. It's crispy outside and chewy inside. The sauce was ok. It's reasonably priced. It's a small place so most take it to go. They serve sub sandwiches and pasta too. You can park in the small lot north of this restaurant. read more

Pizza Score: 8.2 Very nostalgic pizza shop. I grew up going to Miguel's Pizza at Red River Gorge in KY, and this atmosphere reminds me so heavily of those mid-east evenings camping. The pizza was incredible, the incredibly kind employee recommended the Otto Mia & Otto Supreme, and both were fantastic. Crispy crust, toppings were fresh and flavorful. Little too saucy and a little under-cheesed for my preference, but that's just me being picky. All around a great pie for the cost (much cheaper than its neighboring competitors). Check their lunch deals in the pictures, I'll 100% be taking advantage of those. Service members were incredibly friendly and I never saw them without a smile and kind greeting. Waited about 20 minutes for my order, which is about average wait time, but was so enthralled with the vibe of the restaurant that I didn't even notice. Will be back. If you're on the fence between Otto & another place, pick Otto. You won't be disappointed. read more

Staycationing nearby, we decided to support local for lunch and drive into Tempe for a large pie and some cheesecakes to boot. Amazing crust and killer sauce. Not too crunchy but still crispy. Great. They gave us plates and napkins as well. Delicious! read more

Absolutely delicious pizza and pasta dishes. Unfortunately, they stopped using Grubhub delivery service, so I'm not able to enjoy their food unless I care to brave the downtown Tempe traffic, which I generally don't. read more

Above average rating for a 5-star calzone! Filled with sauce and cheese, the dough was beautifully crispy and golden. The pizza was good, especially the crust, but not great. Not much ambiance - location is a tiny shop, filled with college kids coming and going read more

Grabbed a couple slices at Otto after hanging at adjacent Cartel Coffee. The pizza shop is small, authentic looking. Slices were made-to-order. Quick n easy. In n out. Left a satisfied customer. read more

Pizza is delicious and crisp + made to order, and the customer service is awesome! My boyfriend and I have ordered delivery on Uber a few times, as well as having stopped in for slices, and the pizza is always fresh and delicious. A great mom and pop style place to grab some old fashioned pizza :) read more

This place is amazing! I had wonderful friendly service. The food was absolutely amazing. I had the calzone, a slice of pizza and a chocolate cannoli for dessert. I highly recommend this place. Thank you Otto Pizza and Pastry! read more

I'm a pizza connoisseur and this pizza didn't disappoint. Thin crust, crispy, just the right amount of toppings. It's a casual spot where you can grab a slice or a whole pie, and the service is fast and friendly. My only regret is that I didn't get a dessert! read more

Otto Pizza & Pastry - Otto Medallion Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

this placed used to be one of my favs place to grab a bite in Tempe after a long day of skating but not anymore. I came in and ordered a bundle which consisted of pizza and liter soda and my son accidentally got a drink from the fountain machine and the owner Otto himself got really butthurt over the situation and came out back and started saying we need to pay for the drink and being unnecessarily rude . Mind you my son was only 5 at the time. We would've have happily payed for the drink if he or staff asked nicely but they came off as rude and disrespectful so we just cancelled our entire order and left. Honestly he came off more hostile when he should've been giving out more hospitality read more

Amazing food , will be disappointed. Great service and friendly atmosphere. We've been here several times and never have been disappointed.

We tried this downtown Tempe staple for the first time and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and deliciousness of everything we ordered. The pizza was perfectly cooked with ample toppings. We enjoyed the salad we got as a starter. I would have liked a homemade dressing as opposed to packaged, but I know that's a lot of extra work to make dressing when it maybe isn't the most popular item on the menu. Service was friendly and quick. We'll be stopping in the next time we have a craving for pizza! read more

Stopped by as a family for dinner after a moving project. Most of us ordered the calzones and loved them!! Super sized and not overly expensive. The employees are always amazing and have the best service! Really a family-oriented place. I always recommend this place to friends who live around here. Looking forward to coming back! read more

We came in tired after 9 days of vacation, flying out the next day traveling from Reno and Lake Tahoe to Las Vegas, Laughlin, Tucson and of all the restaurants we had dinner in we enjoyed yours the best. The warm atmosphere, relaxing and comfortable setting and incredible food. Between the three of us we tried a little bit of everything right down to desert! Outstanding food ... do you deliver to Michigan? Thank you for being over the top! If I am every in Tempe again I will be sure to stop by for a visit! read more

I was standing in line at blaze pizza and thought to myself.....I can do better. After checking out the reviews I headed over to Otto and I'm so glad I did. Since two of us were eating and we wanted some leftovers we got a XL 16 inch pizza. 1/2 and 1/2 ingredients so they only counted it as one. Pizza was made to order and they had a variety of great specials to choose from. Their specials are listed on their website and throughout the store. 16", 1-topping $14.99. I like a lot of sauce so I got a cup on the side to dip. It was a solid addition to the already tasty pizza. Happy with my experience here. read more

Please avoid this place if you value your health. I'm not sure what I was served that tore up my gut but it was very painful.

Hits the spot Otto pizza is a small place tucked away a block or so off University. The atmosphere is comfortable and casual but minimal. The pizza was delish - fresh and hot, delivered with a smile and minimal wait. We wanted a place to eat that was quick and easy, not too expensive and that met everyone's needs. If you're looking for a decent meal at a good price, Otto hits the spot! I'd definitely eat here again. read more

Yep...this is a solid little pie house. I think it's female owned (very cool) and there's definitely a sincere touch of grace from the phone call to order (they thanked me for calling) to the warm smiles and "thanks for coming in"! In todays climate, a thank you goes goes such a long long way. The pie itself? Delicious. Great chew to the dough and crust and the flavor is spot on in my opinion. It's a great pie...well done. Enjoy Tempe. ;) read more

Hot, fresh and consistently made pizzas will keep you coming back. This quaint, family operated restaurant has fair prices and delicious menu items. The NY style pizza is the closest I have found with a thinner crisp crust and sufficient sauce with cheese that holds in place. The chef makes each dish to order and has been doing so for some time. The prices are beyond fair so please tip them well. You will not be disappointed if you know your pizza, sauce and good ingredients. Be sure to try their desserts read more

Pizza dough was fantastic. Reheated a few days later and it was still amazing. If in down town Tempe give it a try.

1/14/22 Overall, I am happy with the experience. I experienced an issue that both the manager and owner's daughter apologized for and then immediately corrected. Quality/Quantity - New York style pizza Otto Medallion XL for $18 Otto Supreme XL for $19 Both pizzas were huge, more than enough food. They were very generous with the portions and toppings. Lasted 2 meals for a party of 5. They also have the following: Starters, salads, spaghetti, ravioli, calzones, pizza rolls, sandwiches, and desserts. Many specials and promotions, probably too many. It potentially slows the process down. Atmosphere - Small, local, and busy pizzeria. Of course, it was a Friday dinner rush. The owner's daughter worked hard, but probably helped too many customers at the same time which could cause mistakes. The good news is that she owned up to it, and more importantly, corrected it. Limited private parking lot, good thing there were 3 of us and that their service is fast, so we double parked. Service - Good job with the phone order, and they had quick turnovers, especially for a Friday night. Pick up service = good, but I suggest helping one customer at a time. Price - $40 Owner Suggestion - Congrats on your 29+ years of service. You have not only succeeded in creating a very successful business, but a successful daughter with great management skills! We will be back. read more

A friend from my moms office told her about this place and my mom and I took a drive down to Tempe to give it a try. This place is def just off the campus and prices are super college student budget friendly. It has a small outdoor patio and a quant / cozy indoor dining space. We got a few pizzas to go but sat down to throw down a few slices. The service was super friendly and engaging. The pizzas were so yummy. The crust was thin and buttery. The ingredients were full of flavor and tasty. We got the Otto Mia and the Otto Veggie. They have a menu that has so many different food options. Give it a look and maybe put this place on your list to try. read more

Little unassuming hole in the wall that reminds me of the mom and pop shops in Westwood (UCLA's college town). Very nice staff and would recommend to anyone looking for a good lunch. The only thing is that I wished they had the dessert I originally wanted to try - the strawberry angel food cake. Unfortunately, they were out, so I tried the tiramisu and almond tiramisu. Both, in my opinion, were a little pricey for the size but overall pretty tasty. read more

You ought-to go anywhere else. Bubbles so big half of the cheese is somewhere far away from the slice of pizza that they offer. Made with obvious resentment for the life of they have chosen to do poorly, and a tragic end to the tradition of the father and his brother. read more

I used to LOVE this pizza joint. We moved here a few years ago and it took so much time trying to find OUR pizza place. The service is always fantastic and the pizza is usually consistent. However, it's been very inconsistent the last few months. We always get the same special and I've noticed each time, that our "extra" cheese is not so cheesy. And the quality of the pepperoni pizza has significantly changed. The pepperoni looks and tastes different. I'm assuming this is the culprit to having a greasy pizza, which we never experienced before here. It's actually one of the reasons why we loved their pizza so much. It's so unfortunate because the taste of their pizza is still good and their service is still amazing! It's just overall, the quality has changed. I'm going to have to take a break from returning. read more

[4.2/5.0] Very very nice spot. Got their two slice special. I'll get a whole pie next time, it's so fire. All their slices are cheese base and you can choose your own toppings. With that being said, their cheese pizza is outstanding. Nice undercarriage, robust with a touch of sweetness on the sauce, and cheese is great as well. The pepperoni za was okay, pep wasnt cooked through but I understand cause it's added on to the cheese pizza. Still very good. Excited to come back and try their pastries as well! read more

Otto Pizza & Pastry - Pep & Cheese Slice - Pizza Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

The pizza (Supreme) was average at best. Was very thin and chewy not crispy at all. Was not cooked long enough. The marinara was really salty. The chicken parmigiana sandwich was extremely salty was not able to finish half of it. The cheese sticks are not what we expected was expecting something similar to mozzarella sticks. This was cheese bread. Was okay but the marinara was once again too salty. Was hoping for much better after reading the reviews. read more

Solid choice overall, doesn't appear to always be the cleanest, but that could be the front side being a bit dated. The desserts are decent. The cheese to sauce ration seems correct. A bit over priced, I think part of that is it's not really a dine in place. Sometimes, depending on who is working the staff can be a bit short with you, but it's college town whatcha gonna do. read more

This is some of the best pizza I've ever had. Definitely reminded me of the pizza my husband and I had in Italy on our honeymoon! The crust is freaking good, but the sauce is the star of the show!!! read more

My husband and I are trying to visit as many pizza places in the valley as we can, and yesterday was our first visit to ottos! Our food was ready pretty fast, in under 20 min. It's small in here, a typical college town pizza joint! I forgot to ask for no olives in my Greek tomato salad, but I had no issues picking around them. The salad was very refreshing. We got the cheese breadsticks, at first bite I wasn't sure about them but they really grew on me. They are very soft, yum! The pizza was pretty good! Only thing that was a little weird was the crust. My husband said eating this pizza felt like eating a quesadilla, which is kinda true haha. The crust just very untextured on the bottom and kinda floppy. It was still good though, glad we tried it! read more
