    Meat Craver deep dish pizza
    Anne N.

    The restaurant is quite small with limited seating with the bulk of the seating being at the bar, but the pizzas are huge in flavor, as is the service. I think it was the owner or manager who helped us, but she was so kind and attentive! We had to sit outside in order to dine in, and she didn't forget about us at any point and really elevated our experience. Their pizzas are hearty and delicious. I'm not usually big on deep dish pizza, but Crave hits the spot. The butter crust and deep dish options are both pan pizzas with slight topping variations--butter crust = topped with cheese while deep dish = topped with marinara and tomatoes (I believe that's right!). I definitely recommend the butter crust if you're a cheese lover. I can't wait to return to try their thin crust~ Don't hesitate to try this place for your next pizza night!

    Visiting my parents in Mesa and they recommended getting pizzas from here for dinner. I was unfamiliar with the place so was excited to try a new pizza restaurant. We ordered them to go as my father mentioned there's unlikely to be any available tables inside. We arrived and the outdoor patio is at the store front, two tables with a space heater. Inside was a very narrow restaurant and bar...mostly taken up by the bar. The bar countertop had about 12 seats and there were two additional tables inside, one for larger parties and the other for four it appeared. It was very crowded inside. As we waited by the check-in counter for the hostess to retrieve our food, we were bumping elbows and shoulders with the other patrons sitting or standing around. The hostess and workers were very friendly while managing the chaos of 4 or 5 people waiting for their take out order. Looks like if you want to eat inside you need to get there early to or at an off time to secure one of the tables. Arrived back at my parent's place to eat. We ordered two 14" buttercrust pan pizzas which ended up being the perfect amount for the six of us. Two slices were plenty for me as the pizza is about 1.5" thick. The crust was amazing- buttery, firm to hold up the pizza but melt in your mouth at the same time. Best buttercrust I've ever had. The pizza toppings were great too, albeit the sausage had little to no heat to it. There are other crust options available as well, including gluten-free and cauliflower. Their menu has other food I'm excited to try in the future- salads, sandwiches, calzones and some specialty chocolates. My parents may have introduced me to this place to try to get me to visit them more often!

    Calamari. It came with more but we had already gobbled it up. The marina sauce was really good.

    We had the thin crust pepperoni pizza , calamari & a house salad w Italian dressing. All of it was good. The pizza was yummy!

    Very good service and food quality was excellent Crave Pizza delivers delicious, high-quality pies with fresh ingredients and great flavors. Their crust is perfectly crisp, the toppings are generous, and the service is always friendly. Whether you're craving a classic pepperoni or a specialty pizza, they never disappoint. Definitely a go-to spot for pizza lovers!

    This doesn't come close to the mom and pop deep dish pizza I used to have in my small town in Illinois growing up, but it's close to where I live now and I believe you do get what you paid for. The classic deep dish cheese pizza is tasty. I like the cheese, but I wish the outer crust was easier to get through, both with your teeth and by forking/knifing it. Recently, we also ordered a cheese calzone and it was really good. The dough was soft and not at all tough to chew like the pizza crust is.

    14" Meat Craver on chicago style deep dish crust

    It's all in the name. When I head back to California tomorrow I will definitely be CRAVE-ing this pizza. Such a great find while visiting from out of state and some of the best chicago style deep dish we have had. PERIOD. The online ordering for curbside delivery worked out great. We started with the beer nuggets since they didn't offer or normal go-to, chicken wings. We were delightfully surprised how delicious these little deep fried pieces of dough were-very creative! As for pizzas, we had a 14" chicago style deep dish Meat Craver and a 10" butter crust Chase Field. Not realizing how thick and dense (in the best way possible, of course) these pizzas were, we were lucky enough to have leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day. What a treat that was! That red sauce is pure magic. My only complaint was that I had requested for some paper plates and napkins if they offered them, but these were not included when delivered out to our car. Neither were any Parmesan, red peppers or the ranch that we paid extra for. Anywhere else, I would have been upset about going without these items but this pizza was so good, it was completely unnecessary.

    Had the butter crust pizza. So cheesy. So delicious. Loved it. Better than Vero and Old Chicago. Started off with a frozen Moscow mule A twist on the regular mule. Was delicious. I'll be back for that and the pineapple vodka they have marinating in two jars. Love that it's family owned. Husband and wife make the dishes. Daughter and friend serve. Great atmosphere. Great people.

    Carrabba's absolutely saved our daughter's 8th birthday today!…read moreAfter driving an hour to another restaurant only to be turned away, we arrived at Carrabba's with a very disappointed little girl. From the moment we walked in, the staff was kind, welcoming, and made us feel like they genuinely cared. Our daughter finally got her "fancy pasta," and the food was delicious. More importantly, they turned what started as a heartbreaking birthday into a special memory. The service was excellent, everyone was friendly, and they treated us with such kindness. Thank you to the entire team for going above and beyond. You truly saved the day, and we'll definitely be back!

    The wait wasn't too long. The hostess seemed new and inexperienced but tried hard to help. The…read morewaitress was okay leaving our drink unfilled for a little longer than should be. We probably needed more drinks because nearly all our food was extremely salty. The calamari appetizer was salty and it overwhelmed any other flavor. Our main dishes came out just after the appetizer was put on the table. The waitress apologized but still put the food down so we felt rushed. The lentil and sausage soup had only two pieces of sausage in it and wasn't very good. The chicken parm was the only thing that was edible. The pasta that came on the chicken parm had a very strange flavor in the sauce and I couldn't stand more than one bite. The atmosphere was nice. They could have chosen better music, but that's a personal thing I guess. The restaurant was clean. All and all I told my wife we should have gone to Olive Garden or Sal's Gilbert Pizza. At least we would have had better food and saved some $'s.
