Service was terrific. Attentive, timely, and friendly. Food wasn't bad per se but was baffling. Meatball sub was very tasty but lacked sauce and the roll was too small for the good size meatballs. Pizza was questionable as the cracker style crust was neither tasty nor crisp. But the cheese and sauce were good enough. Signature hot cookie was so thin it was barely there but again, tastes good. So there you have it. read more

Consistently is an issue at this location. I have been ordering pizza from Oregano's for years, but the past three times I have been extremely disappointed. I would Never send a customer out the door with a product that was obviously burnt and unappetizing. I guess they just don't care read more

This restaurant is very Italian, and I love it. I recommend the pine top ravioli, the rolls are huge! Speaking of huge, you should try the antipasto salad. The plate is as big as your fore-arm. It's crazy! The meatballs here are GINORMOUS, It's great. The garlic bread is good here too! So scrumptious. read more

Well, Keith or Taylor or anybody that should care. How about a comment on this one? We are long time Creekers and can almost walk to your place. Our week with oreganos was not pleasant. Stopped for some pasta a few days ago. Even checked ahead to see how busy you were. Got there and you appeared to be at about 25% occupancy. Not busy. We were told it would be a few minutes to clear a table. We could see a dozen cleared tables. OK. The young lady left and didn't come back. So we stood there, and stood there. Then we saw her standing at the end of the hallway talking and giggling with a coworker. While we were standing there, a party of 4 came in and were whisked away by another employee to their table. Reservations did not play a part in this by the way. Nobody came back to seat us. So, we went over to Rancho Manana and had a very nice dinner amongst people that care. How pathetic and uncalled for. NEXT. Called to order a pizza. Got put on hold for a very long time. She probably had to clean a table before she could take my order. Grabbed my wife's phone and called again to order a pizza. She answered right away. Must have finished the table. Ordered the pizza. This was going well!! Went to pick up the pizza for my wife and waiting friends. Opened the box to check it. Believe me it DID NOT look like the picture on the site. No tomatoes, no peppers, NO chicken. It was burnt most all the way around. Looked more like a cheese crisp than a loaded pizza. At well over $30 bucks, needless to say the disappointment was obvious. This is what I had to take home to our guests? What a damn shame. Work ethic, service, food quality and caring about what you do and the quality with which you do it has left the building. It is sad when you can get a better frozen pizza at Safeway than going to a so called Italian establishment. I took photos but they are so disgusting I'll most likely delete them. What a shame. Can't wait to come back. WTF read more

We hadn't been here for a while..decided to try it again. It was totally burnt, the worst pizza ever. Two pizza and they both were horrible. It wasn't even edible. How could they let a pizza like that out of the kitchen? I don't mind paying a high price to get good pizza but this place has gone down hill if you ask me. We used to eat here more, before Covid, but after this pizza we will never be back for sure. read more

Food: Oregano's has always been a favorite of mine. Their pan pizza and pizookie is AMAZING. On this latest trip, I ordered the turkey sub and the waitress was nice and accommodating when I wanted to sub out all the veggies for spinach and sun dried tomatoes and get a side of pesto. The sandwich was baked first and then the veggies were added so it wasn't super warm all together, which is the only reason this review isn't a 5 Venue: A classic family-friendly, welcoming, Italian style restaurant. Sort of a cross between Buca di Beppo and Olive Garden. Service: Our server was Kevin and Kendall, who was training in on her second day/first table! Kevin was just the right amount of attentive, while also letting Kendall learn and manage us. Kendall was very nice and on top of things; I never would have known it was her first table! Again, she was SUPER understanding when both me and my friend had somewhat high maintenance orders! read more

Went with 3 children Thin crust pizza had burned bottom and crusted top Meatballs were good Marinara sauce on pasta was like stewed tomatoes Service was ok read more

We took 3 of our granddaughters there yesterday. It was the worst food any of us have ever had! The pasta "sauce" was terrible: no taste and looked like diced up stewed tomatoes. The girls' pizza's had paper thin crusts that were burned black. The meatballs were the only eatable substance. The service was just as bad. We will NEVER go back. read more

Incredible pizza, 3 days in a row. I don't hand out 5-star rating easily. I like food, and I judge my food. My wife and I have been meaning to stop here for over a year, since her parents live in Cave Creek. We did the other day and will be back. We ordered a 12", pan pizza with pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, and grilled chicken. The pizza did take a while to come out, but the waiter warned us it would, so we added some boneless chicken wings to sate our hunger. The wings were good, as wings should be, nothing to write home about. The pizza, though, it came out hot and smelled great. The waiter cut and served for us, which I didn't expect. My wife and I could only eat one piece each, which is not normal... but the slices were thick. Amazing taste. We took the rest home and had the other 4 slices for lunch the following two days, reheating in the oven. Each time was perfect. I highly recommend Oregano's. We will be returning, in less than a year for sure... read more

Oregano's - Pizza Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

I don't get the 3.3 average rating. Chicago, New York, Detroit pizza have nothing on this place. Perfectly thin, crisp crust gorgeously decorated with amazingly fresh and delicious toppings - specifically the Numero Uno. And I compose this appraisal nearly sober. Wish I had this in Chicagoland. Thank you for an amazing experience. read more

Great Food and Great Service. Our go to restaurant in Cave Creek!! Service is top notch and the food is delicious. read more

This was a great experience at Oregano's. We sat outside a mild 75* F the heat lamps were on and the service was great. This location has a nice patio you can watch the sunset and indulge in pasta and pizza. We ordered the Oreganos salad and the Ziti pasta bowl with marinara sauce and chicken instead of the beef/pork sauce. The salad came out quickly and was awesome. Great combination of leafs and other veggies including the added chicken. It was a huge portion that we split between two adults and everybody was happy. We should have ended the meal there. Not only was the "bread bowl" made from pizza dough a rather unflavored mix of water and flower, but we also over ate and everyone felt rather uncomfortable after. Oh well, we will remember and come back for just salad and desert cookie. read more

Great place to come out for family! Food was amazing, drinks were great, and the service (thanks Dakota!) was exceptional! The portions are very large and the food came out very quickly. All the staff were attentive and quick to help. Don't pass this joint! read more

Oregano's - Pizza Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

Of all the options in Cave Creek, it's hard to review how bad this specific Oregano's is. Between the entitled employees and put-off service, you'd likely have a better experience sitting on a bed of cholla while burning money over a campfire. Not sure why the employees come to work they're so miserable. My family and I have regularly attempted to give this place multiple chances, to be clear our expectations are not high. This place is simply the worst...unfortunately you can't offer less than one star. read more

Things started out well, our waitress was friendly and attentive to our kids giving them some dough to play with. My family wanted deep dish pizza and she warned us that it would take 45-55 minutes which I knew was a bad idea with kids so I requested that their pizza by the slice and wings be brought out ASAP. The wings eventually showed up but the kids pizza slices did not, by the time the deep dish pizza came out (close to an hour later) I they were over it and we needed to leave. That simple request could've gone a long way. There's an area outside where kids can play but don't let your guard down with little ones because their fence is broken and right next to the fence there's a large gap where they could run right into the busy road. A deep dish pizza should have hearty toppings but instead the 3 toppings I ordered were lost inside the pizza, as expensive as toppings are it was disappointing. I thought my kids thin pizza that they didn't eat was a lot more appetizing, the Wisconsin cheese they use is actually really tasty and is the one stand out thing Oregano's has going for themselves. The bill ended up being $100 which seems crazy for 2 deep dishes w/ toppings, wings, 2 kids meals and a few non alcoholic beverages. I might come back but definitely not waiting around like that again for deep dish pizza. read more

Went to the cave creek location and just not anything special at all. sll. Almost lots of bread and fillers. Yes we had the same experience. Bread is the focal point. Where is the food? read more

We were very happy when they opened the Cave Creek location. Special thank you for bringing back on a limited engagement one of our all time Oregano's favorites - toasted ravioli! Please return this to the regular menu. read more

Definitely quantity over quality. We had to wait 45 minutes for a table but the service was really good once we were finally seated. I had the marinara. It was okay but not great. The salad was large but tasted like it was from a bag, definitely not fresh. The pizza cookie was delish if you like semi cooked chocolate chip cookie (which I do!) topped with ice cream. I wish we had just come for dessert as this was definitely the best part. read more

Feel like this place has yet to recoup from the COVID 19 set back. There is a clear difference of service and food quality pre/post COVID. Hopefully you guys get the help you need. I will try back again in a couple moths, just been disappointed the last couple of years. read more

Worst food and service in a year of dining out. $10.50 drink had nothing but ice and $1 worth of fluid. Highly NOT recommended.

Terrible service. Had to wait to be seated because 2 employees talking to each other instead of seating us. Waited 15 mins to get waitress to come over to us to get drink order. Then ordered our lunch and ord Caesar salad as an app. At least 30 mins later we asked where is our salad and waitress replied, "the salad maker is so busy making so many salads." She said the pizza maker is not busy but salad maker is very busy! Mind you, I think there were only 4 other tables that were full. Then she asked if we wanted her to bring our food as it got done because food was not going to be done at the same time. Guess what got done first?? The pizza that she told us would take the longest! Then came the salad and finally the sandwiches. Have NEVER had such ridiculous excuses given as well as terrible service!! Will NEVER return!! Oh, did I mention another table that came prob 20 mins after we did, were served their salad way before us!! read more

Service was great. Did the meatball sandwich for lunch. Good flavor, but the meatball was still cold. Bummer. Fries were super though! read more

Oregano's - Meatball lunch sandwich - Pizza Near Me - Cave Creek, Arizona

We tried again...this place is a joke. Service is horrible, the pizza seems like it's made by teenagers. The place if filthy. Unlike the the Oregano restaurants in Scottsdale. Corporate needs to take a look of the management team running this restaurant. read more

Not sure how Oregano's will survive with only 6 open tables for service. They need to open fully to be worth the wait. All outside seating is closed off...entire bar closed.... half of restaurant closed. With only 350 people in ICU due to COVID 19 and 4 million residents in Maricopa County, Oreganos needs to open instead of wasting time for those who want to dine. Servers are great and need income. Food is great as always. Open up Oreganos! read more

Covid or not/short staffing or not - this location is the worst. Inconsistent service, inconsistent food quality. Big fan of Oreganos but will never go to this location again even though it's 10 minutes from the house. read more

Oreganos never fails to disappoint -- delicious food at reasonable prices and a cozy,rustic location on the outskirts of Cave Creek. My wife and I have always had quick and friendly service, especially when served by RICARDO. We have been served by him on our last three visits and he has taken bread and circus to a new level. We usually arrive at Oreganos between 2:00 - 4:00pm when customer traffic is light which may have some bearing on the few negative comments regarding service. As for the food try ordering OreganosFavorite Salad & gluten free Numero Uno pizza ,simply delicious. GENE & FRAN read more

My husband and I have been fans of Oregano's for years. Unfortunately last night's pizza was not good. Pizza was bland, had too much sauce and the pepperoni is different (thinner and not good quality). I know there is staffing problems everywhere, but some sort of quality control needs to happen in the kitchen. I'm hoping this was just an off night or a new person in the kitchen. read more

This is the second time we have ordered take out from Oregano's in Cave Creek. It was even better than I remember. We tries several pizza places in the area and this is by far our favorite. This time we shared several menu items family style. We got the Oregano's favorite salad, which came with a large portion of garlic bread and dressing on the side. It was super flavorful with lots of fresh ingredients. The chicken wings were some of the best I've ever had. They were large and had a light breading. They came with home made potato chips and sauce of your choice. We got the medium sauce on the side. It was a perfect medium heat sauce with a little peppery flavor. The Chicago pan pizza was the closest to a traditional Chicago deep dish pizza we've had outside of the Midwest. We got it with mushrooms and sausage. The crust was crispy and not too dense. Lastly, we got the big rig pasta. This was the only slight disappointment. The flavor was great, but it was slightly dry and could have used some more sauce. Otherwise, everything we ordered was fantastic. We were so surprised to see all of the negative reviews, but in looking at them it appears to be due to wait times, service, and timing of food. Because we have strictly gone there for take out, we have not encountered any problems. read more

Not good food was either under cooked or way over cooked. Marinara was burnt tasting. Cheese tasted old. Music too loud. Will never eat there again. Shrimp tails on under cooked shrimp. Burnt chicken picatta with! Under cooked garlic bread was all gooey in the center. Sad Chikitty check yourself. Nasty read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Now, the service here is always AWFUL. But the food usually makes up for it. Not this time. It was clear our waitress who was also the bar tender couldn't be bothered to check on us or our food. We waited an hour for food and was told the "kitchen was backed up" but the larger party next to us that was sat and ordered AFTER we were got their food within 15 minutes. It was clear that our food was sitting under the heating lamps. It was dry and disgusting. No apologies from the management and nothing but excuses. The finally offered us 15% off our bill after we complained a third time about the food and service, but also offered the table next to us 20% off (they're basically one table so you can hear everything each other is saying). We will never eat here again. It's no wonder they have 3 stars. Stay far away. read more

Excellent food and service. I cant get enough of there pizza and wings. I highly recommend.

Of I could give this restaurant zero stars I would. We sat down at 1:30 for lunch. We ordered at 1:50 and at 2:45 food finally arrived at the table. ICE COLD and not what we ordered. The pizza (thin crust) was actually still doughy and there was water under the crust (between the crust and pizza pan). My Bowl-O-Pasta was iced cold. Literally like someone had placed it in the fridge. The manager came over to see how our meal was. She did offer to make us another pizza; but by this time we simply had no more time to wait. We had plans that we were already late for. She comped our meals as we didn't eat anything. We gave our server a tip and left. I've been going to Oreganos for over 20 years. This is my very first bad experience. Prior to this it's been nothing but great service and consistently great food. I write this in hopes the corporate office sees this and establishes changes that return this one specific location back into the great place it could be. It's certainly not of the Oreganos quality of come to know or love. read more

The food was awesome. We had just a simple cheese and sausage pizza and a salad. Thin crust was great. Most of all was service Was incredible. We had Danielle as our server and she was amazing. She was very attentive and made sure we did not run out of drinks and checked often on us. She is such a sweet person. I highly recommend this location and Danielle as your server. The ambiance was very nostalgic and fun to reminisce about the decor. read more

I want to give a very positive review for this restaurant. First of all, the food is fantastic. We had an unfortunate incident happen with a delivery from DoorDash. I won't go into details but long story short, we at first blamed Oregano's because the DoorDash driver pretty much blamed it on them. Turns out from what I know, it looks like it was 100% the fault of DoorDash. Anyway, this morning I received a phone call from Keith, the General Manager. He was very professional and apologized and made everything more than right. Mistakes happen but it's good to know that there are local companies who still care about their customers. And have awesome food! read more

I really enjoyed the lasagne. It wasn't the usual red sauce and tons of cheese. It was a mix of great flavors and I will definitely get it again. I'm a lasagne snob and this is a winner in my book. read more

Don't use the waitlist feature. It's a total waste of time since they don't honor it.

If you are coming here for a quick dinner...move on. And...that is a GOOD thing. We have eaten here twice in the past month, and last night's experience with Amber our server was absolutely great. What started out as a rocky seating outside on the cool patio (we weren't dressed for the cooler evening weather, no biggie) was quickly turned around with Amber's wit and super service. She got us a propane heater and had one of the quick busser's (sorry dude, didn't catch your name) light and position it right between us. Impressive. We ordered drinks, and had casual conversation while our calamari appetizer arrived. Amber was candid about the business level (very busy), and told us to order right away, which we did. I ordered the Italian Flag Lasagna, and she again confided that it was a freshly baked item, taking twenty minutes. No worries, we were here to relax and enjoy family time. One of our drinks was delivered incorrectly with bourbon instead of vodka...no problem, Amber whipped into action and had my wife's blood pressure medication back to our table in no time. Our meals arrived, and another kind gentleman sprinkled freshly grated parmesan cheese on our food. Nice touch. Dad enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs, my wife had a beautifully crafted meatball sandwich, and I enjoyed the fruits of my menu labor with the lasagna. This dish was truly exceptional. The fresh tomatoes burst from fork to mouth, each bite a symphony of perfectly prepared pasta and ground meats, ricotta cheese...just fantastic. You can tell this item was prepared with pride...I will order this again. We were having such a good time that we decided to enjoy dessert. Whats that you say??? A PIZZA COOKIE? Yep, we will have that. Melt in your mouth cookie dough with cool scoops of vanilla ice cream topped off with a sprinkling of tiny chocolate chips. This dessert is illegal in four states, so order carefully after checking with your local law enforcement! So damn good!!! Amber wrapped up with a carefully dropped check and a smile, we paid and were on our way. Thanks Oregano's, we will be back. read more

We have been here 3 times. Once for take out. We were told it would be 90 mins. My hubby went to pick up our order and had to wait an additional 30-40 mins. He spoke to a manager and all he got was a "SORRY" $52 for 2 pizzas. We recently went to dine in for pizza. I ordered fried zucchini and hubby ordered wings. I told our server we will order our pizza so we can eat our apps while we wait for the pizza. Well that didn't happen. Everything came out at once. Ridiculous! This place has time management issues. I also asked for hot sauce. I was brought a bottle that was pretty much empty. Our serve said the manager is looking for a new bottle. Well that never happened. Maybe he is still looking? We want to like supporting in town businesses. I hope our next experience is a little better. I will make sure I tell the server twice we want our apps before our entree. Sounds reasonable/sensible!! read more
