    A little unassuming pizza shop near downtown. They have great pizza with a nice undercarriage that's got great crunch. The staff were super nice and pleasant. They even got anchovies. They also got wings and deserts but we were simply eating too full.

    Pesce Fritto with risotto
    Emma F.

    Los Olivos is INCREDIBLE!!! Their special Pesce Fritto is one of the best dishes anywhere. The fish is very tender with veggies, capers, lemon- delicious!!! I sub the risotto for spaghetti, but the risotto is very good too. The cannolis are great, the bread roll comes out hot and the olive oil at the table is flavorful. Everything I've ever had is very very good.

    I have to say, we have been driving past this place for years. This time we decided to take a chance and stop. I was at first hesitant because I didn't see any cars in the parking lot. Man am I glad I got over my hesitance. It's a small place nothing fancy or over done. Friendly service, super clean and homey. The food! It is so delicious! You would think because of the name that it's an Italian Mexican fusion but it's just Italian in the most satisfying way. We had a slice of margherita pizza, my husband and I shared the los olivos salad and he has the pesce fritto so delicious. He just had to order the mussels, they came in a steaming pot filled with delicious garlic butter and the softest bread to sop up the garlic butter. I can't say enough about this place.

    Seafood Cioppino
    Deanie R.

    The exterior look of the place in no way matches the delicious food that came out of the kitchen. We had heard about this place from a friend and when I pulled up, I almost backed up and what to another nearby restaurant instead. But you should never judge a book by its cover right? And the recommendation came from a friend with a great palate so I forged on. I am so glad I did! This place was magnificent. After the first couple of bites I was already planning what I would try on my next visit. We had the Polpo Special Salad, Shrimp al Olivo and Seafood Cioppino. Having been to Italy, this is the kind of Italian food I love! Not the overly garlic laden, cheese loaded monstrosities that Italian food has turned into in the US, but simple yet flavorful food that is not heavy and perfectly portioned. The Polpo Greca Special salad was amazing! I wish it would stay available for a return visit. The prices of Octopus were generous and cooked perfectly to retain a great chew and sweetness. Served with red onion, tomato, cucumber, Kalamata olives, basil, avocado, feta cheese, a breadstick and a delicious lemon and olive oil dressing. It was so simple and flavorful that it instantly took me back to a little cafe off the coast of Capri. Great start to a great meal. The Shrimp al Olivo was equally simplistic and amazing. A tomato sauce evenly flavored with garlic, green olives, white wine and basil. The perfect example of less is more. All of the flavors incorporated seamlessly. The Seafood Cioppino was almost the same dish but with fish, mussels and clams added. The plates weren't huge portions but satisfying. I actually would order concentrated flavor and presentation then a lot of food for not a lot of quality. We found out they make house made panettone and the pizzas looked amazing. We will be back soon to try both and maybe have a few Peronis for good measure. If you heavy been, make a point to try out this local gen.

    Lunch spacial $10.95!! -slice of pizza, salad & drink! Amazing crispy pizza. The salad has a mediterranean taste. The slice of pizza is larger than I thought! It's delicious. Indoor & outdoor sitting.

    Los Olivia salad
    Granite G.

    Absolutely delicious! It's a small hole in the wall place, order at the counter and they bring it to you. I had the pan fried whitefish with capers, tomatoes and fresh lemon. Husband had spaghetti and meatballs. Both came with the BEST garlic bread. We split a Los Olivia salad with an oregano vinaigrette dressing that was so good. I can't wait to go back!

    Side salad
    Ileana C.

    This place is unassuming. A little neighborhood place on the side of the street. Anyone knows that the small tucked away places tend to be among the best. This place doesn't disappoint. Theres a great tasting selection of appetizers, sandwiches, pizzas, calzones, salads, pasta dishes. They even have a selection of beverages including wine and beer. Two pizza sizes 14" and 18". Really can go here and always find something to enjoy. All the dishes are great tasting. In the past I've had the pizzas. Every one I've ever tried has been quite tasty. On this occasion I had the meat ball sandwich and my friend had the calzone. The sandwich was perfect. Hit the spot with nice meatballs in a great marinara sauce perfectly topped with cheese on a great roll that was neither hard nor soft. It held up perfectly and was a pleasure to eat. The calzone was a decent size. Filled with sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella and ricotta. Looked amazing when they cut into it. I was told it was creamy, nicely flavored. One of the better calzones my friend has ever eaten. It disappeared quite fast so I believe it. Both the meatball sandwich and the calzone came with a side salad. If you decide to try this little place out, there is a small enclosed patio in which you can enjoy your meal or you can do take out like we did. Either way you can be assured of having a very satisfying meal at a reasonable price.

    Pizza was delicious. Brought four kiddos, who typically don't eat the crust, and they cleared their plates. We opted for a whole pie, but they have options for by the slice purchases. Lots of other options if you're not up for pizza, but wanting Italian cuisine. Staff was also friendly and would check up on us from time to time to see if we were doing OK.

It's clear why this place is so well reviewed…read more Unfortunately, the service completely missed the mark and took away from what could have been a great experience. We were seated right away since it wasn't busy, and things started off simple enough with bread and oil. We asked for parmesan to go with it, and our server seemed unsure how to respond, eventually bringing out packet parm even though fresh was clearly available. Not a huge deal, but we found it odd. A little later, we asked for more bread. The server told us they were out but, "that they could probably make more". . He relayed it to the woman handling bread, who then made more for another table and skipped us entirely. He mentioned it again to her when he saw us looking in their direction. she looked over, and still nothing. It was awkward, since the restaurant is the size of a closet. Once the pizza came, we got up ourselves to ask for more oil and parmesan, since our waiter hadn't come to check back. We got the oil instantly since we brought us the bowl, but no parmesan. At one point my son asked for bread, again, finally it came and the server literally tossed it on the table without a word. We said thank you and he completely ignored all of us. It didn't get any better from there. The bill was dropped on the table without a word either. My husband and I kept looking at each other with confused looks. We turned the bill in with our CC, and once the server returned it, same thing, not a single interaction. We also watched the same server make another table feel like an inconvenience over something as simple as asking for a bottle of Coke instead of a can. The customer ended up backing down just to avoid the hassle. The server then told the guest, "it's fine, I can get it for you!" On top of that, staff were wearing gloves while handling food, but also touching chairs, phones, and other surfaces; kind of defeats the purpose I think? My boys also had a weird interaction with a staff near the bathrooms who was very rude to them and accused them of cutting the line, despite no one waiting. It was very strange. Bottom line: the food is incredible, no question. But the service was so bad it's hard to ignore. Best advice, get it to go and skip the experience inside.

    We recently stopped by Fentonelli's and had a really good experience overall. I liked the counter…read moreservice style and the vibe of the dining room. We started with the ABG salad that surprised me because I'm usually not a big fan of Gorgonzola, but the combination of green apple, pecan brittle, and cheese worked really well together and made for a great balance of flavors. For the pizza, we ordered the mushroom pizza and added pepperoni. The sauce was excellent I believe was some sort of a garlic/oil white sauce the mushroom portion was generous which I absolutely love, and the crust was exactly what I look for crunchy on the outside while still soft and slightly sweet inside. My only minor complaint with the toppings is that the $4 pepperoni add on felt a bit light, we only had a 2 or 3 slices per piece. The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that our pizza was just slightly overcooked. The bottom was charred all the way around; wasn't burnt to the point of sending it back, but definitely left in the oven a minute or two longer than it needed to be. It wasn't busy when we visited, and it seemed like the employee rotating pizzas was a little more focused on chatting with FOH coworkers than keeping an eye on the oven. I've worked in pizza restaurants for nearly a decade, so I may be a bit more particular than most customers. Realistically, if our pizza had come out even a minute earlier, it would have been a 10/10 meal. That said, I enjoyed my visit and will definitely be back. The quality is there, and I'm looking forward to trying more of the menu in the future.

Had to park illegally in front of the Credit Union to pick up my pizza.

Even before we heated in a hot oven, it was overdone, really salty and no meatballs- see the photo - instead there was a tiny bit (less than 2 oz) of hot sausage on an overdone pizza. Not anything close to decent or what we ordered. Don't kid yourself, this is not NY pizza by a long shot. The search continues.

Food arrived just 15 min later and was piping hot and delicious. The lasagna is a good sized portion (roughly 5x7) and is generously filled with meat. Taste is amazing with medium-firm pasta and a nice crust across the top and sides. The ricotta calzone came with a side of marinara (yay) for dipping as there is no sauce inside. Roughly 2 dozen toppings are available, ranging from $3-$8+. I opted for the meatballs ($8.50) and was slightly disappointed. The meatballs are crumbled within the calzone (understandable) but not pronounced in quantity. I would prefer larger pieces (halves work at this size - after all I ordered meat-ball not meet-ground ;) However, for $8 (a 75% upcharge) my chief gripe is that I was simply expecting more. Next time pepperoni/mushrooms! Ambiance is lovely and waitstaff were awesome -- gracious, knowledgeable about menu specifics, and attentive. Parking is free/easy at this corner of a small strip mall. Can't wait to try their new Detroit menu too! Note: due to Rene's smaller size (less than 10 tables total) and high demand, all reservations (any day) require a credit card to hold. This is entirely understandable as even one no-show is a measurable hit to keeping a full house. I also have kids yet 100% embrace their patio-only policy when with kiddos. This literal mom/pop venue (they have kids too) tries to do the impossible balance between clientele and intimate, high-end dining (we simply accommodate by getting take out when feeding the Whole family ;)

Because of it's tiny venue and big reputation you will likely never walk in and get seated right away. Never. Fear not, they do a brisk take-out business but you must walk around the corner (20 steps) to their side window where pickup orders are placed. Bonus: Crooked Tooth Brewery (a cool industrial bar) is directly across the alley and you are allowed to bring your pizza and eat it there. We were catching a play at the Rogue and sought something within walking distance, hello Anello! With their rotating, locally-sourced menu, we ordered what was new: seasonal roasted veggies ($11) - incredible; coupled with our fav Verde pizza ($17) + pepperoni ($4). And two Old Fashionables ($13) - strong, delicious, and not too sweet. We split their one-size pizza (roughly 12" medium) in order to save room for their famous, rotating desserts. Their 'zas are super thin crust and really need to be eaten straight from the oven so that the bottom never has a chance to get soggy. The pesto/parsley puree was divine and a nice change from traditional marinera. It paired nicely with the savory/plentiful mini pepperonis too. We were torn between the olive oil cake and the blue corn lemon tart... so we got both! ($9 each). An excellent call as we carefully paced our way through, one slow bite at a time. Service was outstanding and we never felt rushed. This is a small, local, eatery with a blooming reputation for both quality and creativity that honestly deserves Bib Gourmand consideration - although I would rather it remain off the grid! Parking can be a challenge, especially evenings when both Anello and Crooked Tooth are hopping but it's a short walk from the trolly too. FYI, they are closed Sun/Mon.

    Clearly Anello has taken the crown for the best pizza in Tucson. They are hard to find (no…read moresignage) and have a limited menu, but what they do, they do extremely well. This is not the kind of pizza you want to carry out. The bottom crust is so thin and delicate, it will wet out in 15 minutes. This is pizza you order and eat on-premises immediately. I ate my pizza in a fashion I have never done before - I broke off a piece of the outside crust to use as a carrier for a piece of filling. This worked well. The crust is perfectly light and airy. Next time I have to try a loaf of their bread - it looked incredible. If you are a pizza purist you will love this place.
