Recently made a catering order from Salerno's for my wife's birthday party. Every single dish was absolutely delicious, amazing and high quality. All of our guests were ranting and raving about the food and asking where it was from. Trish was very helpful and friendly over the phone helping me make selections and walking through the pricing. It was very easy and worth every penny! Also we have been going to Salernos for years, my wife has been to Italy and has Italian family members... Salernos has hands down the best tiramisu we've ever had. Thankfully, we have an extra pan of it to ourselves left over from the party will definitely be thinking of Salernos again in the future for any catering needs. Thank you for making my wife's 30th one to remember! read more

While heading out to another pizza joint one night, saw the lighted sign for Salerno's and did a quick u-turn.. so happy we did! Plenty of parking. Upon entering place is a bit 'open' and warehouse style but the staff are welcoming making the place warm and inviting. Food: ordered the small (8 slices) Chicago cheese with sausage. Surprised it was a round pizza and gal said all others are, just this size isn't. Shape didn't deter from taste as so gooey with cheese and the Italian sausage is home made! They have a good selection of wine, beer and a bar for cocktails. No bar to sit at but plenty of tables. A good selection of items to purchase: Italian ragu, pasta, ice cream- spumoni!!!! Definitely a return visit as loved the pizza and they also have sandwiches. read more

Still the best​ pizza and lasagna in the valley. Their I drive 30 minutes one way to get to this place. Well worth the drive. We have loved​ this place for a few years after discovering it. Family owned and the owners are always present. High quality food. The Salerno Special Salad is absolutely amazing. Have been a regular and will continue to be one read more

Pizza is always best piping hot, and even with take-out, the pie from Salerno's was still steaming when I got home. Coming from a town known for great pizza, finding a comparable spot is tough -- but Salerno's comes close, and I'll definitely be back. The only tweak I'd make is the sauce, which leans a bit tart for my taste. Tip: order it well done. Saluti read more

Best real Italian cuisine, especially the red sauce, meatballs and pizza in the valley... casual atmosphere, friendly service and consistent quality... highly recommended read more

Probably the Best Pizza in Arizona. I'm from the Chicago area and always went to the Salernos in Berwyn and St. Charles, Illinois. The Salerno Family have carried on the tradition of great Pizza and Italian Food. I also love the homemade Cannoli's and homemade Italian Sausage & Italian Beef. The service is great and the owners are friendly and really are about the quality of their food. read more

Salerno's Restaurant & Pizzeria - Great Pizza! - Pizza Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

A family run business worth supporting . The wait staff was super friendly and service was very attentive . Lots of tables for seating so it wasn't a long wait. Could see lots of take out orders leaving which is always a good sign too Over all the food was tasty , being from back east there were some more unusual choices than your typical local Italian. A large portion of their food is home made like their desserts and appetizers , and ravioli , lasagna. Their pizza is deep dish Chicago and thin crust The deep dish looked tasty but we got the pizza . It was made more with what seemed like a cracker crust ( not home made?) reminded me of boxed pizza . The toppings where sold per item so be careful it adds up quick My favorite is they have homemade Neapolitan ice cream sundaes and tiramisu. We too a slice home for later. We wanted to try it , but at 10,00 it was a bit pricey for it . But lots of things are going that direction read more

Okay guys, you got me. I am sick of Arizona pizza, sick!! Love Salerno's, yes in Berwyn and the Fox River. We will take a road trip from Sun City. Please open a Restaurante in the West Valley, please! Do you have Italian Ice, Limon?? Do you have fresh basil? These restaurants out here, don't have FRESH Basil for a topping. read more

When you go in a restaurant and the staff knows 90% of the tables. You know you are at the right place, Trish knows her FAMILY of customers. As it was our first time eating there, it was a welcomed change! Everyone was amazing. When you go in you step up to the counter and order from the menu and they will bring the food to your table. Oddly, I liked the pay before you eat, casual eating experience. My daughter ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, garlic bread, brownie with cup ice cream. I ordered the lasagna. Garlic bread was very good! Soft bread dipped in a melted garlic butter..dripping good! Lasagna, I was told by Trish, were made in house. $19.99 will feed 2 people. Lasagna was 5 layers with Italian sausage, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese (?), house made spaghetti sauce. With a crispy cheese goodness on the outside edge! Sauce was delicious, , not overly seasoned and not salty. Only down side I personally had with the dish is that I thought the layers should have been fuller,or more of it. Layers were thin and 1 bottom layor of Italian sausage. The lasagna noodles were amazing but I just wanted a thicker hardier bite. The chocolate chip brownie is house made! Huge! Enough for 2 people.. down side... the cup vanilla ice cream if you get that... Just get the brownie! Overall great experience, we will return. I was eyeing the old school rotating pizza oven.. next time read more

This was our first time eating at Salerno's, we live down the street and drive by it all the time and finally made our way in. At first, we were confused because we didn't know if there was seated service or if we had to order at the counter. After that, we figured that you had to order at the counter and then take your table. The adults split a cheese pizza with Italian sausage and ricotta cheese, my husband got a calzone, and my daughter got spaghetti with butter. My husband's only gripe was that the calzone was very doughy, and he wished that there was more toppings and cheese on the inside. But my mom and I shared a pizza and it was delicious. I loved how the pizza was baked and the texture of the cheese on the top! Next time we won't wait to come back to Salerno's, it will make its way into our rotation of new restaurants! The staff were very friendly, it seems like a very nice family restaurant. read more

Salerno's Restaurant & Pizzeria - Cheese pizza - Pizza Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We recently catered from Selenro's Restaurant & Pizzeria for a large party and were beyond impressed! We ordered cheese ravioli, mostaccioli, fettuccine Alfredo, vegetarian mostaccioli, and garlic bread--and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, the pasta perfectly cooked, and the portions were generous. It ended up being the perfect amount of food plus extra leftovers. The only (very minor) hiccup was the garlic bread--we thought it would be traditional garlic bread, but it came as sliced bread with Parmesan cheese on the side. We ended up buttering, seasoning, and toasted. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we'll definitely be ordering again. Can't wait to try more from their menu! The staff was so helpful they even assisted in putting in my SUV. read more

If you want thin-crust Chicago pizza ,you should give it a try. Close your eyes you can almost hear the L train off in the distance.

I've been coming to Salernos for over 20 years. I can't believe I never wrote a review?!? Anyway they have amazing food and the staff always AWESOME!! read more

Great Italian spot. Good food, great service, the staff is super friendly, plenty of seating and parking. They have a good selection of items on their menu. Their red sauce is outstanding, and you can get it to go, and they sell pizza dough, snd it makes a great pie. Delicious desserts, good down home feel to all the food they prepare. Will definitely be back. read more

Best Chicago style pizza around! Don't order extra cheese it's perfect as it is! The Italian sausage is great, I even bought a couple pounds to take home. I've been coming here for over 20 years and never disappointed in the food or service. We've had them cater several parties and again never disappointed. read more

Very simple concept. Order at the counter, but pretty much just serve yourself after that. Staff is constantly checking on you though. The owner (I assume) even checked on us numerous times to make sure we were enjoying our dishes. Ordered garlic cheese bread, an all meat pizza, chicken alfredo, and chicken franchaise. Garlic cheese bread was amazing and honestly, I can't remember the last time I had pizza this good! Soooo much flavor... and the crust? Omg the crust was something I've never tasted before. Chef's kiss . The chicken franchaise (spelling?) was also phenomenal. It was so tender that even the next day it was delicious. They don't do much to garnish or make their dishes look fancy, but don't be misled. Their modesty is all an act because those dishes are an explosion of flavors. I can't believe I've never tried this place before. We'll definitely be back. Make sure to go hungry too, because they're not stingy on portions size. read more

Pizza was good and with a good cheese pull! My hubby liked the crisp bottom. He wanted more sauce and they brought him out a big bowl full. The baked mostaccioli was flavorful and the chicken fettuccine Alfredo was very creamy and delicious. The workers were very friendly and really told us about the place since it was our first time here. I thought it was cute how they brought the food out on a cart. She said they have lunch specials ,even on Saturday . read more

This is my second time at Salerno's. First time I had spaghetti and meatballs. Today I went for lunch and had the Italian beef both visits. The food was amazing and the service was excellent today for lunch. The Italian beef was outstanding and it included a side salad all for $15 considering the quality of the food. This was a smoke deal. I went with friends who had the lasagna and they swore they would've licked the plate if we weren't in a public place. So stop reading this review and go there now and make your mouth happy. read more

Living in the Chicago area my whole life it was hard to find what we are accustomed to living out here. Well I found one here at Salernos. I had the veal parm and wife had lasagna and my other family members split a pizza. The sausage is like home and all our food was awesome. What made it even more special was meeting the owner who was more than kind. We ate at Salernos growing up so it is so nice to find one out here. All his help were just as nice as him. Keep up the great efforts read more

Great Italian food. Authentic. Owners are kind, prices are fair, and they remember their customers. It is my favorite restaurant in Gilbert. You can also buy their homemade sauce. I recommend everything, the chicken francese, carbonara which is authentic (one of my favorite Italian dishes) and the Italian beef and rolled cheese sticks. read more

My daughter took cheerleading in the same strip mall as Salerno's about 20 years ago. Wow and still going strong!! That's when we first ate here. We saw they were from Chicago where we are transplanted from. Also, the name was like Salerno butter cookies. Idk if they are related. Anyway, the amazing food items we enjoyed were the spaghetti and meatballs and chicken Parmesan. To my surprise was the creamy garlic salad dressing!!!! It tasted just like Tonelli's in Northbrook, IL where I grew up (except Salerno's wasn't mint green). Fast forward 2026, WOW, it's been about 5 years since I've been here because we are no longer in the area. I happen to be close by and decided to get some of the creamy garlic dressing and a side of meatballs. As soon I got home, it did not disappoint!! The homemade meatballs smothered in for real marinara sauce and the homemade creamy garlic dressing I put on top of a bed of crispy romaine lettuce with croutons. They had not changed in flavor and quality!! Thank goodness!! The hostess greeted me right away and took my order which was ready in no time at all!! The interior was updated with the casualness the Chicago transplants enjoy. I'll be back sooner than later! read more

Best pasta and pizza in Phoenix area, specifically the east valley. Been a customer over 20 years and many more to come.

Great Italian Menu and Food. Take my grandkids there or just my wife and me. Always great food and had them cater our Thanksgiving. Everyone was thrilled and we ate large. We eat there several times a month are are always please. Great staff. Bob & Karen read more

We hadn't been here in a long time. A really long time. Enjoyed the ambience and food previously. Staff was always pleasant. They still are. Now you order at counter and they bring food to you It was my birthday and my husband picked this place out for us to go as son and DIL and eldest grandson wanted to treat us. They love Italian food like I do The pizza was underwhelming - big change. My entree and others were under seasoned. It was not bland in the past. I had carbonara and it literally tasted like oil and pasta. We had salad, chicken parm sandwiches etc too. Main consensus was no flavor profile but nice staff. They close at 8 and literally we started feeling like they wanted to get out sooner. They weren't rude but the message was clear. Great people - that's it for us. read more

This place is a small family business that loves to serve typical Italian meals! The atmosphere is spacious with plenty of room for seating large groups. The food is filling and served in large portions which makes it worth the price. read more

My 7 year old asked me "Mom can we get Papa John's and breadsticks tonight?" I was a little taken back, as I don't like Papa John's and he was oddly specific. I said how about this place instead, I keep hearing about how great their pizza's are. I ordered an XL regular crust with Sausage and pepperoni with a side of garlic bread. 30 min they said. My dad had picked up for us. So not too sure how the place looked inside or ambiance. But it seemed like they were pretty punctual when it came to Pizza Time. Now onto the food! My first bite and literally all the cheese came off and ended up burning my mouth and hand as I tried to catch it. Lol. Whoops. Not too sure if that's a good or bad thing, but it was a bit annoying. My first initial thought of the crust was odd. Thick, buttery, crispy but cardboard like. There wasn't much flavor to it or texture. I was expecting a little bit of a chew maybe? But I did enjoy a nice butter like flavor to it. The sauce was a little too simple for me as well. Sausage and pepperoni were okay as well but I did enjoy how much cheese was put on. Garlic bread was honestly better than our pizza.. *shrugs* I ended up giving the pizza to my siblings and parents, they also didn't care for it and told me I wasted money on it. My 7 year old said, it was okay, "should have just gone to papa John's mom!" Welp I wanted to give it a try and I did, it wasn't our cup of tea, but obviously it is others. read more

This was my first time into Salerno's even though I have heard many recommendations over the years. The restaurant has a very casual feel to it. You walk up to order your food/drink and are given a number for your table. Once your order is ready, it is delivered to your table. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful! The entrees are served with a dinner salad - your choice of romaine, iceberg or spring mix. The Italian dressing was perfect to dress the salad served with shredded carrots and croutons. We ordered a caprese salad to start which was fresh and perfectly seasoned. I ordered eggplant Parmesan as my entree and cheese ravioli for my cousin. You can tell the marinara is house made and is one of the best I've had in a restaurant setting (I typically don't like marinara). Every part of our meal was delivered quickly and at the proper temperatures. My eggplant Parmesan was still crisp even having marinara placed on top of it, I was impressed by the fry. I would certainly recommend this restaurant and would love to come back myself. read more

Pizza is the BEST!! Pasta dishes are great. Service is fantastic. Great place. Eat in or carry out

We ordered from here last Saturday night because I didn't want to go anywhere. Everyone knows take out is never as good as when you eat at the restaurant. One of the reviewers said salad comes with the entree. This is not the case. We ordered 2 chicken parmigiana, with Alfredo sauce on the pasta, the shrimp dinner, a calzone & 2 orders of garlic bread. The portions are large. Everyone liked the food except the Alfredo. my daughter & I both had the Alfred, and it was super bland. My daughter threw hers away. Before taxes & a tip the total was $96.00. Unfortunately this will not be our go to spot because I have to have Alfredo when I have Italian. read more

My favorite Italian restaurant in the area. We always order takeout from here and the service is always quick and friendly.

Very authentic taste and this is real family-owned Italian. read more

Our food this visit was average, way o we-priced for average food! The atmosphere is reminiscent of a cafeteria, rather than a high-priced Italian restaurant! You have to go to the register to order and pay, then they deliver your food up you. Again, not what one would expect for an "upscale" Italian restaurant! At least it was better than the mess they served four years ago at my daughter's high school graduation dinner! That was horrible! The only reason we went on Sunday is our friends who wanted to go there. I tried warning them, but decided our friendship was more important than the food! The service was adequate. read more
