Most overrated place in Gilbert for 2008 goes to Oregano's. The pizza sucks. The pastas are great. Especially the 6 inch Ravioli. The hostess and wait staff have been sometimes rude and annoying. If you want pizza, go to Grimaldi's. Because this place is so overrated, there is always an ungodly wait to be seated. Don't even waste your time. There are better places. read more

Dude second time in a row we got a take out salad and 50% is the lettuce is rotten. WTF I emailed last time and got a 3rd grader worthy response. Love the new special... buy a salad get free diarrhea read more

C wanted pizza and since his rehearsal was just down the street at the community center, what better place to go. We got here about a quarter to 5 and the inside dining room was almost full. For a Thursday night, I was impressed that it was that busy. There was plenty of seating outside however, and the two bar areas were also empty. Our server was Andrea. She was very good. She was attentive, kept our drinks filled and made polite small talk when appropriate. We ordered a 16" Thin crust with sausage ($15.98) and a couple drinks ($2.59 ea). The pie came out hot and bubbly plus the crust wasn't burnt (as it has been at this and other locations). Winner winner pizza dinner. C was very happy and he knows his Oregano's. He's been a regular of the Oregano's chain since he was 8 weeks old (he's almost 10), has been to the opening of two locations (Chandler & Paradise Valley) and pretty much says Oregano's is his favorite restaurant. Now I've been going to Oregano's since they opened in Old Town in 1993, have been to every location except the newest in Goodyear and definitely have eaten at this chain more than anywhere else. This was a good experience. I don't know how it could have been better. Great pizza, fair prices, nice attentive server. 5 Stars read more

Tonight at 9:30pm we ordered 50 pizzas for the firemen who put put the fire just down the street for us. They close at 10. Not only did they accommodate us and were incredibly understanding and cooperative, but they made 50 pizzas in 35 minutes!! Thank you to the staff that night, the firefighters and police officers were incredibly grateful. read more

Stopped in a decided to try the pizza,they had a special which is a giant slice.Well it ended up being 2 slices and I would rather call it cheese bread not pizza.I could pick it up and shake it and nothing would fall off.Maybe their pie is better but never order a slice. read more

Huge Menu, Friendly People, Good Food. I really like oregano's for their wide selection. I took my date here in lieu of cooking (unfortunate bill issues left me with no gas for a few days) and she ordered the ravioli and I got the BBQ chicken thin crust pizza. It was really flavorful and I enjoyed it. The only downside (which cost them that fabled 5 stars) was the fact that it is strictly call ahead seating. This place gets BUSY... and when it gets busy the wait can be pretty bad because all of their food is made from scratch (you can taste it). Other than that... fantastic meal and get the desert cookie thing they have. SOOO Good! read more

Pizza here was okay.. I ordered their wings and calamari for appetizers. Wings was decent and calamari was good. It's soft when you chew it unlike other calamari they're rubbery. I had their Puerto Penasco Carne Street Pie Pizza. I was really hungry after I finished the appetizers. I waited for at least half an hour till the pizza got to our table. I'll be honest I'm very impatient especially when it comes to food taking that long. No excuse. I had 2 small slices and after that I wasn't that hungry anymore cause the wait was too long. Pizza was okay and everything else. It didn't wow me especially the service. I'm not too sure if I will come back here. read more

The worst service I've ever had, my wife and I waited 45 mins when they told us 20 mins and then when I went to ask what was taking so long I got attitude, and our server was so slow and it wasn't ever that packed. Be prepared to wait and have horrible service read more

Nice location as we were going to the Hale Theatre after dinner. Garlic bread was delicious. Portions were large so I ended up with two appetizers (meatballs and broccoli). Rest of the group had lasagna and Caesar salad. Wait staff was attentive. read more

We love Oregano's! The kids are entertained with the raw pizza dough that they can shape and play with until the food arrives. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the calamari strips - they are my favorite items and I could just eat these and ignore the amazing pizza and pasta dishes. But alas I have to share and so still have room for the pizza - all of the pizza is great but I really enjoyed the customizable options and I loaded my thin crust up with sun dried tomatoes, black olives, onions, and peppers. My hubby had the thick crust pepperoni which he shared with the kids. We also had the garlic bread which was so yummy too! And last but certainly not least is the Pizza Cookie imagine a thick fresh baked cookie topped with rich melting vaniall ice cream - pure heaven! Strongly recommend hitting this place up at least once, the long lines, which you will see every night of the week can attest to the delicious food that this restaurant puts out. read more

On a Thursday at 345, a group of 11, nobody else waiting. .. waited for 30 minutes to be told that we couldn't sit together (that would be a 2 hour wait) and it would be another 30-40 minutes. . I think I spend more time waiting at oreganos than I do dining. read more

I have been to this Oregano's a bunch of times now and love the food... You will want to come early for dinner it's always really busy... The staff is always friendly and will seat you as fast as they can... I always order something that's not on the menu the Mild and Gold wings they are the best wings I have had in Arizona it's the mild sauce mixed with the Italian gold sauce so good... Next on to the salad The Antipasto Thing (Salami, pepperoni, capicolla, Romaine lettuce, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, red peppers, red onions, topped with Italian cheeses and tossed with Italian dressing.) This is the best Antipasto I have had in Arizona now for the pizza... Aunt Margherita Pizza (Light and flaky dough, add pizza sauce, a four cheese Italian blend, fresh cut Roma tomatoes, fresh sliced basil.) After all this food if you still have room what I do is get The Original Pizza Cookie to go ( A 1/2 pound of Chocolate Chip, White Chocolate Macadamia Nut, or Peanut Butter Chocolate cookie dough, slightly baked in a 6-inch pizza pan then topped with 3 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. If you're looking for a great dinner this is one place you need to add to your list. read more

My boyfriend and I go here at least once a month. We love to sit at the bar because the wait here is always long and the bartenders are so friendly here. We stick to a basic thin crust pepperoni, which is always good, but I've also had the Lady is a Scampi pasta and that's pretty good too. My favorite part is the chocolate chip pizza cookie! Yummy. Great patio to have lunch or dinner and a beer on a nice day. read more

It is a sad time for long time fans of Oregano's as they have stop offering all drums on the Buffalo wings. You now can choose 10 or 14 and it is 60% regular wings and 40% drums. Sucks. It was the only place where you could get all drums. Now they don't set themselves apart as far as the Buffalo wings go. I gave it a two stars only cause the size is still descent. Oh well, when I want wings, it don't matter now and I won't have to wait an hour to be seated. read more

Really unfortunate incident happened at my favorite restaurant ever. I love Oreganos. It's an obsession for me so this was really upsetting for me... I ordered for pick up what I always get, a 12in pan cheese pizza with no stewed tomatoes, along with an appetizer and a cookie. When I got home and had bitten into my pizza, there were stewed tomatoes. Not a huge deal, just a bummer. I had taken a few more bites into my pizza and there was bacon and loads of it on just one section. It was almost as if they had started sprinkling the bacon on their and realized "oh wait, this is supposed to be a cheese pizza!" and attempted to pick all of it off but didn't get it all... Now, this wouldn't be a huge deal, if I wasn't a VEGETARIAN. I had swallowed a piece of bacon. I haven't eatin meat in, jeez I'm not sure how long. I was immediately disgusted. I gave the pizza to my brother. Money was waisted and meat was eaten. Just a terrible and eupsetting incident. read more

It takes an instant to ruin an reputation. Indeed, that happened yesterday at this Oregano location. My son and I stopped-in for lunch yesterday. I'd no sooner sat down when I heard the crowd of tables around us gasp aloud; My son was lying on the floor. His stool's metal leg had folded backwards as the weld just snapped after he was seated. The fall was so fast that it barely registered what'd happened. I picked him up and we started checking his body for injury. I was going to film the stool's 'mechanical failure' but somebody immediately removed the stool. Refocused on my son we went directly to the bathroom to check his body for injury. We came back and sat down. The gentlemen sitting next to us made the half-hearted comment "free pizza for life". Using an above-conversational voice and in front of the staff who were working behind the bar I replied, 'I'm surprised we haven't seen a manager yet.' Minutes later the manager arrived. He asked about my son and would later give us a business card and took my son's name, age, my name and contact number. While we aren't the kind of people looking for opportunities to take advantage of businesses, it still wasn't lost on me that the manager never offered to comp our meal, approximately $25. The manager offered nothing considering that the only reason my son ended-up laying on their floor was due to their equipment failure. He was and remains sore and more than just a lil embarrassed. We'll see how my son feels upon waking. But my perception of Oregano's has definitely change and with perfect reason. As some people wonder why sue happy individuals take advantage of a system; I'm reminded that people rarely ever do the right thing w/o being compelled... *update 2-11-2017 The manager mentioned above did call today several hours after this original posting. He asked about our son and apologized stating, 'that he got busy having every intention of picking-up the meal'. We must now provide him an address to do so... read more

Sorry for the wrong post in Mesa Az. I went to this Oregano's in Gilbert Az and it was really aweful. My husband ordered a Jr. Sandwich and it didn't even have any sauces of any kind on it. He asked for some mayonnaise and mustard and it took them 20 minutes to bring it out. Then I ordered a Penne Pesto dish and boy did I make a huge mistake. We spent over $50 and I will never go back there again when I visit Gilbert, Az. I live in California and was visiting some friends in Mesa and they took us there. That was money spend that I was not satified with I gave them a 1 star because I cannot give them no stars at all.....If possible I would not of given them any stars at all....... read more

Poorest service ever. We love the food here but after this experience we will not come back to this location. It took so long to even take our order. We have been here over an hour and we just got our food! Had to ask twice for them to bring dough for our 2 year old to play with. So irritated!!! read more

Oregano's has delicious food and a pleasant staff. I don't really mind the longer wait for my food because I get the sense that it is fresh rather than a frozen entree that someone popped into a microwave. We have a large family and whenever there is a college graduation or birthday party, we usually end up at the Gilbert Oregano's restaurant and we spend a pretty penny in Oregano's standards. One thing that makes my stomach a bit queasy is the Hooter's inspired attire. Very short shorts are one thing, but the low-cut tank tops gross me out. Maybe I'm just germ phobic but those waitresses get hot running around all the time. I don't like the thought of someone's uncovered sweaty armpit hanging over my dinner. It just doesn't seem sanitary to me and I wish they'd class it up a bit. Aren't there Department of Health dress codes for wait staff beyond shirts and shoes? If showing cleavage makes the girls feel good about themselves, fine. Whatever you need to do... just please cover up your armpits. I am sure it can be accomplished - I don't see the males walking around in leotards and they seem to be handling the heat just fine!! One final word - I'm not a fan of the illegal substance references written on the backs of your shirts. "Legalize Marinara." Try explaining that to a child and helping them to understand why this is "funny" when they're being taught that drugs are bad. I know it's a silly parody, it just isn't in good taste for a reputable business. read more

We went to have pizza and a couple drinks a little bit of a wait bar seats were open got to sit immediately. Had excellent service bartender Courtney was awesome. She gave great suggestions answered all of our questions. We ended up eating at the bar so glad we did. Our drinks were great and the pizza was delicious. Thanks Courtney because of your service and great attitude we can't wait to go backP.S. you were so right Courtney the "Dirty monkey" mix drink is delicious. See you soon! read more

Absolutely LOVE the caesar salad here with chicken! It is HUGE and under $10. Other than that though, I don't really know what I'd get - the menu isn't my favorite, not a lot I'd like to try. My husband got the chicken lasagna and said that was good. Garlic bread isn't all that great (coming from someone who LOVES bread, that's saying something). We even got the cheesy bread the second time and my husband swore it smelt like plastic lol. Oh boy! And it smelled like garbage all around the area outside - what's that about? read more

This place is my favorite spot. The atmoshere is awsome. Food is so delicous, its clean and the staff are very friendly. I recommend the cheesey garlic bread, pizza, wings and there is a good sandwhich but I don't remember the name. What i remember best about this place is we ate outside and it was freezing. They of course had the heating lamps but they gave us blankets to use while we ate our dinner. I thought that was very cool. This place is always packed and they don't take reservations which sucks but would advise to go when its a time where people are at work so can get food faster and don't have to wait read more

Worst customer service ever!!! People are rude and I would rather drive further another oreganoes than go to this one , it's unfortunate

Awful experience. Never got seated. Hostess forgot we were waiting outside. Then told us she forgot us and said our table was being cleaned. 15 minutes later we left still never being seated. Nobody else waiting in restaurant. Speaking to manager was useless. She did not acknowledge her hostess had erred, just said we had not waited as long as we said. Very bad experience. We have being going to Oreganos for over 20 years and I don't think we will return read more

Once we were seated and received our drinks, we went to that place where the "one hit wonders" and secrets from civilizations have gone. Good things come to those who wait but 45 minutes is pushing it when it comes to a place that isn't that packed and we only ordered a 12 inch pie.Lost and forgotten!! The painful purgatory of pending pizza patrons paints perplexing pantomimes. The waitress could have at least checked up on us and/or given us some appetizers to temporarily satiate our belly banshees. Thankfully, Kristy, who may be a manager and wasn't even our original waitress, flew in to save the day. She offered us a free dessert on top of giving us a respectable discount. The food is always tip top, but today the service is what was truly shined!! Thanks Kristy!! read more

Wanted to try this place out with my parents while they were in town. 1 hour wait to get to the table and 45-50 mins to get out food. I basically ordered a turkey sandwich with cold cut turkey slices, my sister had a salad mom spaghetti dad meatball sandwich and girlfriend lasagna. 50 mins to cook pasta ? The server was so slow taking 10 mins in between times to check on us. Food was average nothing great !!! read more

The wait was 40 minutes with an early check in app but the food is always amazing. This was the best gluten free pizza (with bacon) that I have had and that includes some famous pizza places in the valley. The server was great and personable and the random waiter that walked by got my pregnant wife some gsrlic bread since she was getting hungry and needed to etc. They were very understanding and cut my pie into small pieces to help me with my braces. read more

Service not so good today. Waited 1/2 hour for a salad that didn't seem up to the normal quality. Sparse on the chicken and it was cold (normally warm). We've been an Oregano's fan for many years, even though we are tired of the same music all the time. Hope this is not a sign they are going downhill. read more

The only downside of this place is the wait. The problem with being this good is that you are always busy, but that is a great problem to have. Love their pizza and their Garlic bread. Also, great atmosphere. read more

I like this spot and their food is good except I went the other day and I ordered the side of fries and there was a piece of hair in it, and this is not the first time I hear about issues with them being clean. Something to look at for sure read more

We had an awesome time here at Oregano's. If we could rate our server (Matt) we'd give him five stars. He looked like Thor and was a super chill brother. Also, you can't go wrong when pizookies are involved! #another! read more

Love. Love. Love this place everytime I am in AZ it is a must. Great food and service. The wings and pizza are amAZing...from thin crust to deep dish. Go early. read more

this is our go to place for thin crust pizza, love their pizza! Tonight we had a Picasso salad too. So yummy. And of course....the pizzookie. read more

My wife and I love this place. We usually go to the one in Mesa on Dobson and Southern but this place is just as good. They took away the soup I really liked and replaced it with a wedding soup that is just ok. Every time I have it, it is a bit salty. I am not a wine snob but I love red wine and there is just something special about red wine with any type of marinara sauce. I will give kudos for the portions. The service is always great too. It seems like everyone who works there either goes to ASU or went there. The environment is great and would recommend to anyone . read more

The food is ALWAYS spectacular and hot. The service is constantly friendly, polite, and people-oriented. I am impressed with the all-around aspects of this Italian restaurant. Beware of the 3 hour waits on Friday and Saturday nights, however. Great place for parties, large groups, or even just a few friends. read more

Oregano's - Yummy all-you-can-eat pasta! They have the best angel hair I've ever tasted! - Pizza Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

See all

It's always good here can't complain. Everyone is friendly ! Beefstro salad is the best ! No slices on the weekends is not a good idea. Kids have to order a 12" but does feed two read more

Wow! this is the place for terrific Pizza! The thin crust is the bomb and I love all the ingredients. My wife likes the hot pasta with shrimp. So much food though you can split any dish easily. This is one of my favorite spots to eat in Gilbert! read more

Tried this location tonight. The service was slow and they messed up our order multiple times. I really like oreganos so this time around makes me very sad. read more

About 8 months ago I stopped eating here because the pizzas were becoming consistently bad. In April I decided to give it another try and since then I have been ordering more and more often since the pizzas have been becoming consistently better and BETTER. Whoever is making the pizzas in the kitchen now is a huge improvement from before. The thin crust is my fav. Props to the hardworking guy back there making the pizzas better every single day read more

Worst service I've received in a long time from a restaurant with such a good name. We not only were seated behind parties that arrived after us (maybe the checked in online, but that didn't seem to be the case; however, we did give them the benefit of the doubt), we then got to our table and the floor was a mess and needed cleaned and it took them about 5 min to have three people get a mop. My husband even offered to clean it himself if they would just hand him a rag. Then the table seated next to us that arrived after us was served before us. It was not a good experience. We came for my mother in laws birthday and the service issue outweighed the tasty food. We love the food here but cannot believe this happened tonight. read more
