    Over the last 10 years, I've seen snow more times in Phoenix than I have a pizzeria offering pizza by the slice. Being a New Yorker, I know is nothing more clutch than to grab 2 slices and a cherry coke mid day for lunch . I was ecstatic when I heard Raffaele's, a family owned NY pizza joint was selling pizza by the slice. So I found myself at Rafaffaels that same day. Air deflated out of my interior balloon as the selection of slices was underwhelming- only cheese and pepperoni. No Sicilian? No margarita? No meatball available ? The pizza itself was decent, but I was really hoping for a crispy corner Sicilian. Overall- Not a bad pizzeria to grab a quick lunch.

    The Best Sicilian Don't let this small, older restraunt, stop you from coming in and enjoying some of the best pizza in town, the staff at Raffaele's are all very friendly and the pizza is absolutely delicious. A true old school pizzeria that reminds me of being back in New York and grabbing a slice of pie and coke after school. I decided to try Raffaele's after reading so many positive Yelp reviews and I'm so glad I did. I am a hard judge of pizza, especially Sicilian pizza and all I have to say is Raffaele's Pizza has some of the best Sicilian Pizza around town. The sauce and dough are perfectly flavored, the crust is crispy, with just the right amount of toppings and cheese. I can't wait to go back for another slice or two. If you're in the area stop by, Raffaele's won't disappoint. Great customer service, wallet friendly prices, and delicious food. .

    Food was good. I started floating like a cartoon character towards the kitchen when I got a whiff of the pizza they served here.

    Cibo remains one of downtown Phoenix's go-to spots--both a local favorite and a destination for…read morevisitors--and it's easy to see why. The setting does a lot of the work: a large, charming garden with plenty of outdoor seating that gives the whole place a cozy, almost village feel. Inside, there's a small bar that's tough to get into, but it's really your only option if you're walking in without a reservation and don't want to wait an hour or more. The kitchen is usually the highlight. With an Italian chef behind it, everything leans fresh and well executed--pizzas consistently shine, and the salads are just as strong. This time, though, the bolognese was a miss. The pasta was clearly overcooked, which stood out given how reliable the food typically is--felt more like an off night than the norm. The wine-by-the-glass list is solid and approachable, and the many awards feel well deserved overall. A diverse staff adds to the cosmopolitan yet relaxed atmosphere. Even with the misstep, Cibo holds its place as one of the better all-around dining experiences downtown.

    Our local host made a reservation here, as it has gotten good reviews. The location is in a…read moreneighborhood just northwest of downtown Phoenix. The restaurant is a converted house, with most of the seating being in what had been the yard. There are a number of shade trees here, plus they have umbrellas, fans, and misters to keep it comfortable. It *may* be possible to sit inside as well, but this would likely require a reservation much further out than ours. The outside dining area was packed the whole time we were there. The outside tables were relatively comfortable when we ate here. They moved an umbrella over to block the setting sun for about 20 minutes, which was great. It looked like they had a musician tuning up her guitar but she had not started before we left. The menu featured selections of pastas, pizzas, and salads. We sampled 3 pizzas, all of which were good. As we were travelling and flying out the next morning, 2 of us split one, which was perfect for not having leftovers. The 4 in our group also sampled an appetizer composed of a fried rice ball with cheese. I was skeptical, but it was actually good. Parking is on-street, as there did not appear to be a dedicated lot for the restaurant itself. It was a busy area, but we did end up finding some spaces about a block and a half away in a residential area. I would definitely be up for another meal here.
