    Nellos wings
    Cecilia L.

    Review is for takeout only. Will update after dining in person for full experience. Just moved to the area and decided to order takeout after moving all day. I got the Margherita 8" crispy and hubby got the Nellos wings and a Caesar salad. The pizza was the perfect single serving size, the crust was perfectly crispy, and the ingredients all tasted fresh. I will have to get a bigger pie next time because I want more of the center to indulge in all the flavors! The hubby said the wings are the typical wings you expect from a pizza place and he enjoyed the Nellos sauce and the slight char on the wings. Salad was good too. Definitely excited to come back and try other items and experience the restaurant dine in experience.

    Brought my friends from out of town to Nello's and a great time was had by all. Our server was prompt, friendly and super patient when we needed more time to order because of catching up. Everyone (even the kids) loved their meals and it was nice to share a meal at one of our favorite places.

    This was our first visit to Nello's in a long time! Why we stopped going across the freeway I don't know because it was FANTASTIC! For starters we made it for happy hour and received $2 off Specialty Cocktails. The cucumber jalapeños and prickly pear were both delicious and refreshing. We ordered the Sajone pizza--topped with house sausage, Schreiner's Pavone pepperoni, grilled radicchio, fresh mozzarella, and a touch of sage. The flavors were incredible! The savory sausage and pepperoni paired perfectly with the slight bitterness of the radicchio. The sage added just the right hint of earthiness that tied everything together. Service was friendly and efficient and the restaurant looked clean. Can't wait for the weather to cool down and enjoy the patio with the dogs. This place has been around for years, and it's easy to see why!

    Pesto Bianca Pizza*

    First night in Phoenix and came to this local joint that was such a good choice for dinner. We each had three pizzas, the Pesto Bianca , the deluxe combo and the arugula vegetable pizza and the Brusketta BLT burrata for the appetizer.

    Garden Salad & Seasoned Crust with Dipping Sauce

    Walking into Nello's in Ahwatukee compared to the Mesa location feels like walking into your in-laws' party--more formal and a bit less comfortable. Nothing beats the Mesa location. The salad portion in Ahwatukee was noticeably smaller, and the pizza crust appetizer wasn't as crisp. I'd say the pizza itself was on par, but the signature crust wasn't quite as good. Overall, the service was good, and the ambiance felt more upscale, whereas the Mesa location has more of a laid-back, classic pizza joint vibe. The Ahwatukee location still served good food, just not quite at the same level. I'd go back if I were in the area 3.5/5.

I've had Italian Beef before. I've loved Italian Beef before. But nothing--NOTHING--prepared me for the transcendent, jaw-dropping, flavor-explosion experience that is ordering the Big Beef DIPPED at this Chandler location. If you haven't done it yet, you haven't lived. And if you've had it elsewhere but haven't had it here with their cheese sauce... well, buckle up, because you're about to discover your new favorite thing on the entire planet. From the second you walk into Portillo's on Ray Road, you can smell the magic--crisp sport peppers, rich au jus, and that unmistakable aroma of slow-roasted beef that makes your stomach growl instantly. But the real moment of truth comes when you look that server in the eye and say: "I'll take the Big Beef, DIPPED, LOADED with cheese sauce. And I mean loaded." Watch their face light up--they know. They understand. This is not just a sandwich; it's a ritual, and this location performs it with reverence. Then it arrives. Oh. My. Goodness. The bread is drenched--and I mean perfectly, gloriously drenched--in that deep, savory au jus, so every inch is saturated with rich, beefy flavor. It's not soggy; it's luscious. It's a sponge for joy. And then... the cheese sauce. Sweet, spicy, velvety, liquid gold--it's like someone took pepper jack, dreams, and a touch of heaven and whipped it into a creamy, molten ribbon that cascades over every millimeter of that dipped bread and tender, shreddy beef. The first bite is not just a meal--it's a religious experience. The crunch of the giardiniera, the pop of a sport pepper, the warm, juicy beef, the cheese sauce pulling in golden strands... it's an OMG moment so intense you might actually forget your own name for a second. You'll hear yourself making sounds you didn't know you could make. You might cry a little (happy tears). You might order a second one before you've even finished the first. And here's the thing--the Chandler location executes this with flawless, almost artistic precision. The line moves fast, the staff is smiling, and they don't skimp. They don't hold back on the beef, they don't drizzle the cheese sauce like it's an afterthought--they PILE IT ON with pride. You can tell this team lives for these moments. They're not just serving food; they're delivering pure, unadulterated happiness. Even the atmosphere feels electric--like everyone in the room knows they're about to have their day made. You'll see strangers nodding at each other in mutual respect over their sandwiches. You'll hear "OMG!" echoed across the dining room (seriously). And when you finish that Big Beef Dipped--cheese sauce glistening on every corner, not a drop of au jus left--you'll sit back with a food coma smile so wide it hurts, already plotting your next visit. Bottom line: If you are within 50 miles of 7200 W Ray Rd, you have no excuse. Go. Right now. Order the Big Beef DIPPED with EXTRA cheese sauce. Thank me later. And maybe bring a napkin--because that cheese sauce is so good, you're going to want to lick every last drop off your fingers. Five stars? Try FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS PLUS A STANDING OVATION! This is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to be this good.

So disappointed. In this visit yesterday, I stopped in and ordered The Hang Loose and Hero. First and foremost, the store is kept very clean. I'll give them that. However, the cashier Derrius was so unhappy he should've been placed in the back to where he couldn't be seen. His customer service was terrible. When ordering our sandwich, he seemed very annoyed. Never greeted us and never made eye contact. Never understood teens who hate their job but continue to work for a job they absolutely hate doing. My sandwiches that took 32 minutes to make, mind you, there was one man waiting in store before us and two people waiting after us, were beyond terrible. The store was not busy at all. One girl on the line had to tell her coworkers in the back to help her as she was the only one making sandwiches. My sandwiches were made so terrible with little to no meat. The hang loose had less than one strip of bacon and little to no pastrami. I asked for the bread not to be toasted, so they did not heat up the meat. Like, what?!? The condiments were sloppily placed on the bread. The hero was just a mess. Plain mess with little to no meat. I know sandwich shops weigh their meat but this couldn't have been the proper weight. For these sandwiches to cost as much as they do, I'm expecting close to perfection. Needless to say, I won't be back anymore and can't recommend this place in good faith as I've given too many chances without complaining in store.
