This was our first time here and the pizza didn't disappoint! We ordered salads and Deno's special pizza and added pepperoni. The pizza was fantastic! My only gripe is the mushrooms were from a can. It is just a personal preference and not a knock on this business. The crust held up nicely to all the tasty toppings. The flavors were amazing and the amount of toppings were very generous. The fresh Italian sausage on the pizza was out of this world! Oh my goodness, so good!! We are transplants from the Midwest and found pizza similar to home. The staff was very friendly and attentive. read more

Very disappointing experience. Our pizza order came out with the wrong toppings, even though I clearly stated the order and repeated it back to the staff. They repeatedly insisted that they had heard it correctly and even repeated the order themselves, so there was no confusion on my end. When the pizza came out wrong and I brought it up, instead of simply correcting their mistake, they said they would make a new one but expected us to pay for both pizzas. Charging a customer for a replacement when the error was entirely on the restaurant's side is unacceptable. Mistakes happen, but how a business handles them matters. Unfortunately, the customer service here was worse than the initial error. read more

Amazing. Absolutely delicious. We ordered a meat lovers with no ham cooked a little extra done. It was done to order. Real meat toppings, not from can. So great two of us ate a large to our self. sorry the picture shows it half eaten, I didn't realize I didn't take the picture until after we stood at the counter and ate most of it LOL LOL. So many places say they are real Chicago style pizza.... Deno's is because they cut their pizza in squares. New York does triangles.... Just a lite FYI for those who did not know the difference. This is the real real Chicago Pizza. Update: The whole pizza is a few days later and it was just as delicious. I also got a large brownie cookie. read more

First off we're originally Chicago people so very familiar with Chicago style Pizza. Pizza here is very good in comparable to other pizza shops in the Chicago area. Love the memorabilia small but clean place. We will be sure and go back next time. We're up that way. read more

Excellent quality and good price. Ready on time. Very good pickup procedure. Even helped me carry out the six pies I bought.

Wow; very good pizza. Had the meat pizza and a ham/pineapple (for my wife). Ordered via door dash for pickup. Drove about 20 min to and from. Brought home and wow, great great pizza. Cheese, crust, meat all very tasty. Only minor minor complaint is perhaps too much sausage compared to other meats; perhaps a little soggy crust in the middle. Had to wait a few minutes inside - pretty plain inside the place with plain tables and chairs. Noticed a few older folks with coolers - did they bring in their own wine and beer? Perhaps... But very loud. I barely could hear the counter girl. I would not want to eat there but I won't take a start off for that given the great pizza. Will be back for sure! read more

Deno’s Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

If I could give Deno's 10 stars I would. This was my second time trying it out and the pizza was as good as the first. I moved here from Saint Louis about a year ago and have only found one good pizza since moving here. This changed with Deno's. This is probably the BEST pizza I have ever had. When uber eats dropped it off, I grabbed it and almost dropped it the box was so heavy. What was inside was AMAZING. The toppings were abundant, the cheese was delicious and the crust was great. Usually with a lot of toppings the pizza gets soggy, not at all with Deno's. I wish this was in Buckeye because I would be a regular. The only problem was the pizza was kind of cold, NOT Deno's fault. Thank you for an amazing experience. read more

I love the pizza here. That being said Payton was so rude and unhelpful on the phone to me that I didn't even place my order.

My friend ordered this pizza for a get together at her home. It was the first time I've had this. We are from Chicago and pizza is a big thing for us. This was the best pizza I've had in Arizona and it reminds me of Chicago pizza. If it wasn't so far away I would go there more often. read more

Always get the Xl pizza special. Wings and pizza are a go to combo. Never had a bad experience with them.

Stopped in based on positive Yelp reviews (and we wanted wings!) The girl who helped us was very sweet and offered us the pizza and wings lunch special which was perfect. Added on two side salads. The pizza was crispy and thin with lots of cheese. I didn't love that it was cut into squares and left a few random triangle pieces. The wings had a nice flavor but were a bit too crispy for my taste. Definitely fried. I prefer softer wings. It was good but not great- not sure I'd go back. read more

A small simple diner with great Chicago style pizzas. If you call your order in, it's always ready on time.

Food is terrible since they sold the place. Pizza does not taste as good as previous owners.

So I'm here waiting at the restaurant waiting for my pickup order which is now past the time originally quoted. And the girl with the snarky attitude has told me they have not even started it yet, doesn't know how many orders ahead, and keeps pushing back the wait time. These people do not respect to their customers and have lost one forever. Avoid this overpriced dump. read more

Deno’s Pizza - Host unhelpful. - Pizza Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

By far the absolute BEST PIZZA! We are from Chicago and have had lots of different pizza. Deno's hands down was our favorite. The crust is just perfect, crispy, so much sausage, flavors were perfect. Can't wait to go back and will definitely be making a trip to Deno's read more

We drove from Peoria to Surprise solely to try Deno's and were not disappointed. We split a large sausage pizza and left full and happy, with leftover pizza for later! The cheese and sausage were no joke-they definitely do not skimp on the toppings. The crust was crispy and delicious. We deliberately went at 3pm on Saturday to avoid the dinner rush and things were starting to pick up when we left. The gals behind the counter were courteous and welcoming so overall very happy with our experience. We will be coming back! read more

Just traveled to Surprise from Dallas, Tx for Spring training camp! We ordered the Meat Lovers Pizza and it was one of the best pizzas we've ever tasted! We go to NYC 2 times a year and it beat several of our all time favorite pizza stops! Excellent pizza read more

Our first time having. Great Chicago style pizza! Will keep returning as we miss our Chicago pizzas back in IL.

I'm from Manhattan. I probably shouldn't be writing reviews about pizza in Phoenix. Anyhow, I'll do it anyway. I had their pizza at a family members house who I am visiting. First off, my family member loves this place more than you could imagine. And, with what I see on Yelp, so does everyone else. I thought it was ok... but, only if you don't think of it as a slice. It's more of a casserole. That being said, everyone seems to love it, so don't change a thing... and I'll promise to stay in New York City. I mean... apparently Deno's saved some guys relationship with his brother. Now that's saying something--something completely batshit, but something just the same. read more

We order once a week a large meat-lovers pizza. Always have leftovers for the rest of the week. Great meat combination with this pizza. Seems to be expensive but after you figure in the meals and snacks over the week it well worth the expense. read more

This restaurant single handedly saved my relationship with my brother. My brother wasn't sure if he'll be able to attend my draft party. But then he said yes after I said I'd be getting Deno's pizza. Thank you Deno's. Also he's in the pizza business and said this is the best pizza in the valley. So idk I guess it's good or something. read more

Stumbled across this place and I'm glad I did. Ordered a small pizza and it was great: crust had nice flavor, cheese didn't hav that weird artificial taste more places have these days, and the sausage was a nice flavorful blend. Also this is a weird thing to comment on, but their Dr. Pepper mix is perfect. Everywhere I go it's never adjusted right, but they've got it dialed in. Service was friendly, prompt, and the dining room itself was clean and didn't feel crowded. Nice little neighborhood place. read more

Deno’s Pizza - 10" Small Create Your Own Pizza (Pepperoni and sausage) - Pizza Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

I love this place. It gives me that nostalgia from Chicago. I always visit at least once when I come to town to visit family. I always get the same thing - large sausage only pizza cut into squares. If you know you know. This time we got the wings because on my last visit this large party was eating them. They looked and smelled delicious and I was not disappointed. They were delicious. I went with the medium flavor, which had just enough zing and spice. The wings are actually pretty ample in portion with a lot of meat. I think the next time I would ask for a little more well done but they were delicious. Of course the thin crust pizza is great. Service is always so super nice and friendly. It's nice to see people from all over The valley. Who are originally from Chicago or Midwest come here. Very casual interior. Usually a sports game on I love the fact that they have RC cola in the can both cherry and regular. read more

The thin crust Chicago style pizza was delicious! The sauce is very good and the crust was very crunchy. I placed my order to go and it was ready when it was supposed to be and a very quick pickup process. Cute little place! read more

Gonna have to go with Nick N.'s assessment of Deno's. Wow! I was not expecting this much flavor. Up until now, Yo Pauley's in Scottsdale was my favorite pizza joint here. A lot of us who migrated here from NY/NJ like our pizza a certain way. I typically don't get the hype about the Chicago way although I do appreciate the different technique of the deep dish and what I refer to as the "upside down pizza." Not a fan of Lou Malnatti's. Rosati's makes a decent pie. So again, wasn't expecting much. This will definitely be my go to pizza spot. The cheese! Those ridiculously large and delicious chunks of sausage! Oh man. I'm salivating just typing this up. It's a bit on the pricey side but oh-so-worth the price. read more

Deno’s Pizza - Nothing but goodness in that there box! - Pizza Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

We were regulars of this place coming couple times a week for years... We come in with our granddaughter on a regular basis...we always order two pizzas.. today I said to make sure it was lightly baked because it was for my granddaughter and of course, ours regular I said, make sure they have extra cheese on there the individual at the desk Brandon delivered our pizzas and apparently made them my granddaughter's pizza was lightly baked done how we liked it. Ours did not have extra cheese and was burnt, and there was no cheese to the end of the crust. It was only right in the middle. I said in a nice way could you please remake that he brings it back and says apparently we're not remaking it for you and I looked at him like are you kidding me? We're here all the time we asked for extra cheese not only was there not extra cheese, but it was overcooked as well. We got such an attitude from Brandon. I said get the owner on the phone he knows who we are...we are here all the time we sat there for another 20 minutes and my husband went up to the desk because they didn't communicate what they were gonna do. He said just give us a credit and we're outta here and She said they're already remaking it. Well, it would've been nice if they would've communicated that to us to be perfectly honest we were afraid to eat it. As a general manager in the restaurant business, I've always preached to my staff that the customer is always right whether you believe that or not if the customer is not happy, you do what it takes to make them happy but this brandon sat there and argued with us We know how we like our pizza we drive almost 40 minutes to Dino's, which we won't do anymore there's plenty of pizza Places out here, but being that we're from the Midwest, we like to give Dino's the business, but no more not after the way Brandon treated us Although their pizza is good, the main reason we came was because it's a midwest restaurant and we like giving a business to someone like that versus corporate but no more. Obviously the owner and manager can't be there all the time but at least you need to be aware how your employees are treating their guests when you're not there. I am so disappointed and I'm so upset the way this whole thing was handled and when we left, he said, have a blessed day really? Would've been nice if he could've treated us with a little bit respect and not talk down to us and argued with us. read more

Good Chicago pizza and wings. Price point isn't bad for the pizza size and my mother really enjoyed it and she can be picky. Lol

I grew up in Kenosha Wisconsin and there must be 50 pizza joints there. Moved to Arizona and Deno's is the only pizza that comes close to the quality of pizza I could get back home. Love, love, love their pie!! Perfectly done, generous toppings, crispy crust and great service. Italian beef sandwich is good too!! If you like floppy, soggy pizza, cut into wedges this place is not for you. read more

What a great surprise! Our usual pizza spot is closed on Monday, so we had to find a new spot and Deno's was absolutely delicious! We had the chicken wings with the sauce on the side - they came out perfectly cooked and super crispy! Our pizza "Deno's Special" with adding pepperoni was AMAZING! Just full of delicious toppings, super crispy crust, and just the right amount of cheese! The wait staff was very friendly and lots of room for eating there! We will definitely be back! read more
