Wow! Had our first experience at Pizza A Metro and all I can say is wow! We ordered Caesar salad, wings and half cheese half pep pizza and were blown away. Fresh and tasty ingredients and exceptional service. The owner, Margarita made a point to talk to each table and truly provided us with a lovely experience. We will be back! read more

Pizza A Metro - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Their food is amazing and they are so welcoming and friendly. It's like you're family here. Their pizza is perfect, chewy, crispy crust and plenty of flavorful toppings. The pasta dishes we've tried are so well balanced and prepared with quality ingredients. People had mentioned them before but I didn't get in to try them until this year and we can't help but keep coming back. Chicken piccata and spaghetti bolognese are excellent. Location is a bit dicey but it's worth it tenfold. read more

Really good pizza. This is my new go-to spot for pickup or delivery. And some of the best pizza in our hood. I really enjoy the hand tossed dough as it makes for a really crispy crust. read more

Came here with friends (who are regulars) for lunch. Everything was delicious. Everything is made from scratch. Tried the wedge salad with Italian dressing and blue cheese crumbles instead of the blue cheese dressing. Loved the combo. Sorry I forgot to take a picture. The blue cheese was amazing. Not too strong. Then we ordered the blue cheese dressing on the side; which is made fresh! My husband who doesn't like blue cheese loves it! Our entrees were also great! Pizza fantastic! The waiter was so attentive and friendly! This place is a hidden gem! read more

This place is always amazing, the best pizza around! Finish the night off with the homemade tiramisu!!!

Pizza A Metro is our family's favorite Italian restaurant. Our kids enjoy their margarita pizza. The crust is so thin with delicious fresh mozzarella and basil. My wife is in love with their ravioli in vodka sauce. And I love everything else on the menu. Once you try their wood oven pizza, you honestly wouldn't want to eat pizza anywhere else. The staff is amazing and the restaurant always meticulously clean. We enjoy sitting out in the patio when the weather is beautiful in AZ! I highly recommend this place! read more

Pizza A Metro - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Really good pizza; in fact, some of the best here in Phoenix. Good sauce and ample toppings made for a solid pie. My only issue/concern is the location. It's located in a horrific strip mall full of tweakers and other miscreants and I swear there was a group living out of their car parked in the lot between Pizza shop and convenience store. Even though new patio looks nice and the interior is clean and nice, it's to go only for me and in the daylight as I wouldn't want to leave my car outside for an extended period of time. read more

This little spot is one of my favorites! Hidden in a little strip mall (parking can be rough) you wouldn't expect the huge flavors coming from the kitchen. I always get the big pizza and literally it's as wide as the interior of my single cab truck. read more

Food is excellent and the service was above and beyond. I love this little place you will not be disappointed. The pizza is a must. It is small but had a nice patio in the back great for cooler weather. read more

I had this place bookmarked for awhile now, plus, my buddy at work highly recommended it, so I decided to place an order for pickup and drive down here to try it out. I was glad I did! I called in my order and went with a small (12 inch) pizza with meatballs and onions (one of my favorite combos when trying a new pizza place). The guy told me it would be about 15-20 minutes and I arrived with my pizza just about to come out of the oven. About that.......This place is tiny! Maybe 4-5 tables and a counter for pickup. The wood burning oven is front and center. I like how you can see right into it from the counter. Pretty cool! Anyways.....My pizza was done, I paid the man my money, and I was on my way. I drove a few blocks down, parked in a lot, and decided to go to town. Here is how it was............ Small Meatball and Onion- I opened the box and was immediately impressed! This pizza had fresh mozzarella, extremely thin sliced meatballs, and a some red onions. They use a crushed tomato sauce and all of this is thrown on top of a thin crust dough. The pizza is like a hybrid between a Neapolitan style pizza, and a NY thin crust pizza. A little soft/droopy in the middle, but easily solved once folded in half. About that dough.....absolutely delicious! Just enough yeasty tang, and a million little air bubbles made this a perfect dough/crust. Crispy, chewy, yet light. Damn fine dough/crust. Definitely some of the best I have found in AZ. The toppings were awesome! I loved the creamy fresh mozzarella, and the super thin meatballs. They were seasoned well, and I would definitely get them again as a topping. The red onions totally tied the flavors together, too! I ate that whole pizza and kind of wished I had ordered the next size up (16 inch)! Overall, I was VERY impressed! By looking at the tiny storefront, in its kind of hidden location, you would never think that great pizza would come out of here. Well...you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't stop in to try a pizza. It was one of the best pizzas I have had in Phoenix, the guys in the joint were friendly as can be, and I can't wait until I come back for another pizza. This place rocks! Easy 5 stars! read more

Pizza A Metro - Small (12 inch) Meatball and Onion Pizza. Damn delicious! One of the best pizzas in Phoenix! - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Start by doubling my star review, 10 stars, First, the Pizza is amazing, the food is made the Italian way....with love, (I should know I'm 100% Italian) and speaking of love... what a better place to eat amazing pizza than have Margarita a gorgeous woman with the biggest smile this side of life serving it to you... I would eat here every day just to enjoy both even though I live 25 miles away is well worth the drive. BTW: my 100 years old mom loved the metro pizza.... and she is very tough to please as Italian mothers are. Grazie bella Margarita read more

So, I gotta a chopped salad which was SO YUMMY !!! However, the eggplant parmigiana was not good at all. The eggplants was cut into very thick pieces and was not cooked properly. I could not cut through it. Sad because it looked good, but just didn't satisfy my tastebuds. read more

You would think this were a hole-in-the-wall pizza delivery joint but you would be wrong. It's actually a fine dining Italian restaurant one of whose specialties is a rectangular pizza a meter long. You can also get all different sizes of round pizzas and several pasta dishes, beef, chicken, and fish dishes, and delicious Italian desserts. read more

My husband and I had been here years ago when we lived on that side of town. Clearly there was a change in ownership over the years. It looks a bit long in the tooth inside, but what we were really shocked to find were the prices. We eat out often and know what things cost these days, but the prices here surpassed some of the best pizza places in town which not only offer better pizza, but a nicer dining experience. The pizza is good, but not great. Nearly $25 for an average pizza is exorbitant, but what really set us off was the charge we noticed when we got home for using our credit card, a "non-cash" charge. Sorry, but that is the cost of business we would have assumed was built into the already stratospheric prices. Perhaps you need a rethink of your business model. read more

Like the other comments read don't judge a book by its cover. It took a hot minute to see that we were at the right place. Give it a try! The food and the service are excellent. The staff is so welcoming and suggestions for menu options were great. I love it here and will definitely come back. read more

a few of my friends and i went here tonight and it was honestly some of the best food i've had in my life. i got the "linguine carbonara" and it was just a phenomenal as pasta i've had in Italy. our waitress was also the nicest, most attentive server i've ever had at a restaurant! we sat on the back patio and it was so cozy and comfortable we didn't want to leave! the portions of food were exceptional and their house red was delicious! this is absolutely a must try and i can't wait to come back!! read more

A meter of pizza? I'll just have one lol. Tried put this pizza today when a friend took me. We ordered a meter with half pepperoni and half meatball. The thin crust was crispy crunchy and the sauce reminded me of Red Devil. The meats were good the pepperoni was my favorite. If you're looking to feed a small country or a pack of teenagers this is for you. I'm going back for sure. read more

I don't know why there isn't a line down the street at all times to eat here. My husband happened upon it while on business in Phoenix and was blown away.

I wish I lived closer! read more

About my 10th trip here. It's the same thing every time... incredible food, best calzone I've had anywhere in the Southwest. The staff is simply amazing. Not a local, but I'm made to feel like one every-time I stop by. I've you're into hidden gems, you'll love this place. Only a few tables in the place, so it's very intimate. The Russian gal, Margarita, that runs this place is on top of her restaurant game. read more

The service was wonderful. Made a reservation; it was handled beautifully. The ambiance is quaint: you can see the pizzas being made in the brick oven. There were good choices on the wine list (had a Chianti and a moscato). We had the 39" pizza, Caprese and the antipasto and 4 different desserts which the family shared. All the food was good. read more

Fucking GREAT pizza! This place rivals Cibo for my favorite pizza in town. I had a cheese and peperoni pie. The peperoni was spicy but not over riding so. That sauce was very fruity, the crust perfectly crispy yet soft and flexible. Wow. The restaurant is very small and tucked into a dirty little strip mall but the inside is nice. If you love pizza I think you'll LOVE this place. YUM! read more

Pizza A Metro - great pizza - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

My BFF and I played hookie today to lunch it up. As always the food is out of this world good. In fact, during desert, she actually schooshed me, because she was having a moment with the tiramisu. Normally I wouldn't add this sort of thing to a review, but seriously... she schooshed me! PAM will now be open from noon to 8:30 on Sundays. They are staffing up for the opening of their Scottsdale location and the place is all a buzz. Although you can generally get in with little or no wait during lunch, you would be smart to call ahead or make a reservation for dinner. Also their liquor license is in process, but you can still BYO. read more

So, my friend Angie and I were looking for a casual place to dine on Saturday night, and I suggested we try Pizza a Metro. I've seen that a lot of fellow Yelpers have gone here, and its recieved quite a few reviews. So, I call the place to confirm where they are located, and what time they are open until. A nice gentleman with an Italian accent answered the phone, and was so friendly and helpful! I loved it! So, I drive there, and like the gentleman said, he was right off the expressway next to a circle K. What shocked me at first was a few things. First, its a tiny little parking lot, and its shared with a circle K. I found this interesting. Fortunately, there was parking available, so I waited for my friend to arrive. The second surprise that I had was just how small this place was. Interesting. I guess if you had a larger party (more then 4 people) you would definately NEED to call in a reservation, as its a very limited seating arrangement. When my friend finally arrived, all the seats were taken, and I was greeted by the gentleman with the thick Italian accent. He told me that it would be about a 7 minute wait, so my friend and I waited outside in the parking lot. The wait ended up being more about 10 minutes, maybe 15 tops. Not bad. When we were seated, we really liked the place. Theres a firebrick oven where people were cooking pizzas. There was also other workers that you could see preparing other foods. Somewhat of an open kitchen feel. the service was great. I believe this place is owned and operated by this Italian family. they most be brothers, because periodically throughout the evening, they were speaking in Italian to each other. I think it really added to the evening, and made the place feel much more authentic. We ended up ordering our food, and even tho I was not extremely hungry, my friend was. I went with a Cesar Salad, and my friend went with the Cheese Ravioli. We were given some complimentary appitizers which were bread chunks and red sauce. Tasty! We both ordered pops, which were brought out and poured for us...but they were from those 20 ounce pop bottles that you would get at a local store...not from a fountian. I found this interesting. Angie really enjoyed her Ravioli, but I felt like my salad was a little soggy. Sitll edable, just a little to much dressing. The food here seems to be good, and I think its also the ambiance and guys that run the show that make dining here worthwhile. I would bring friends or family here who are in from out of town, becuase I think its one of those more authentic experiences. Anyways, the service was wonderful. Truely a gem, and much more fun and authentic then most places I have been for pizza and pasta lately. read more

We ordered pizza for pickup - we've been enjoying pizzas from this local neighborhood busines the past few years (but stopped going during the pandemic as the owner and staff usually wore their masks under their noses and I work in healthcare and didn't want the risk). I was excited tonight to get our pizzas. When I got home, our veggie pie had chunks of raw zucchini next to fully cooked bell pepper, which was odd, and the crust was soggy. The capricciosa on gluten free crust that was super soggy, sparse cheese, and really disappointing flavor of the other toppings. I didn't have the energy to drive back and return them. Super bummed by our Friday night pizza experience... read more

don't get me wrong, I'm still a HUGE fan of this place!! Whenever I'm on that side of town, I whimper at the thought of not being able to go here. Damn economy! *sigh* But recently, I had my chance... to yet again dwell in the goodness that is Pizza a Metro. and GOOD GOOGLY MOOGLY!!! That's a HUGE pie!! A good friend and I went there when he said that he wanted a LOT of food. "I want to order a small have a whole trough come to the table!" Not feeling the Heart Attack Grill, I convinced my friend to try PIzza a Metro. We did and it was wonderful! A little to loud for our liking - we really needed to shout to hear one another. But we loved it. We shared the gnocchi with vodka sauce and I could just feel the world being lifted off my shoulders!! haha! He never had gnocchi before I feel I may have ruined him for it forever. Then we had the Pizza a Metro with three different types of toppings! THREE feet of pizza ya'll!! It was a shit load of food!! I couldn't believe it! Three feet of Sausage w/broccoli, arugula & procutto, and various meat toppings! It took up most of the table! We dug in and by the end of the night, most of that bad boy was gone! I couldn't believe we ate that much! Oh and if that wasn't enough - our waiter told us of the various desserts! Desserts he said... we had to try the creme brulee - my FAVORITE dessert ever! and it was burnt! And undercooked at the same time! I couldn't believe it. I was so disappoitned! But I didn't let it ruin our great night. We still talked until most of the lights were out. And we laughed over everything. It was a great night. I'm so glad we went. The food was as good as I remember it. To my yelpers I say GO!! but skip the creme brulee! read more

We ordered a METRO pizza (just pepperoni and cheese) for pick up. HILARIOUSLY huge box. It took up the entire back-seat length of my Honda CRV. The pizza was delicious. I think everything has been said about Pizza A Metro already but it really is some good pizza. I need to go back and try the pasta now. It is really small and warm, so I will need to go in the winter when it's cooler. But I am sure it is worth the heat. I wanted to save the pizza box and use it to store wrapping paper in it but my husband wouldn't let me. booo. It went to the recycle bin. read more

Been wanting to try this place for some time to see what was up.. the only thing I can say is that I'm sorry.. so sorry for not coming here sooner. Yes, this place is in the hood and is smaller than a postage stamp but is so good that you can brave the seedy location for one night. There are several pasta's on the menu but only a handful are handmade. We had the gnocci in the vodka sauce as well as the cheese ravioli.. come on, these are so good.. like crazy yummy good! The creamy sauce paired well with the perfectly prepared pasta's.. eyes were rolled back into our heads!! For our main course we ordered the meatball Metro.. this pizza is HUGE.. check out the pics! for 25 bucks this monster is worth every penny.. sweet chunky tomato sauce with fresh mozzarella and little chunks of meatball.. the crust was a little bit salty in a good way.. the crust could have been enjoyed on its own! In the end this place so many wonderful elements.. fast personal service, great pricing and wonderful eats. Its a real winner!! Cant wait to try the new location over on our side of town. read more

Visiting from out of town, my husband and I were in the hunt for good Italian food in Phoenix. We hit the jackpot when we found this place. Obviously family owned. They couldn't been more welcoming. I thought I was back in Italy for a minute. I should warn you that the place is small. Maybe 6-8 tables. They also do take out. My husband had the Spaghetti Bolognese and I had the Fettuccine Primavera. For dessert we had Pistachio Gelato. All so good! read more

A former coworker and I stumbled upon this place for lunch. As the other reviews said there is limited parking (park across the street at Arby's), the neighborhood is sketchy with guys hanging around outside, and seating inside is limited - but it is worth the obstacles to come here. We ordered the Margarita pizza and it was absolutely the best I have had this side of Naples. Fred M. mentioned he was downgrading since the bread and tapenada was gone - time to give that point back because they were served with our meal.The staff was friendly and the pizza was incredible. Reasonably priced too. Give this place a try! read more
