Rode our bikes to lunch at this newer oreganos location. This American inspired italian local chain really has a yummy menu & a hip positive vibe through all locations from Tempe, old town, Bell Rd, or Tucson. At this stop we sat at the bar with no wait and opted for a margarita and dos Equis for my hubby. We ordered the simple salad & carne asada pizza. The salad was large (even the half was a lot for 2 people) with just basic greens and like 2 croutons but maybe only $5 or something reasonable. The pizza was I believe a puerto penasco named menu item. After our long and sunny ride we were ready for something substantial and this did the trick. Grilled carne asada thin crust with a yummy cilantro pesto to bring it together. Our service was friendly & professional even if the thin crust pizza took 40 minutes to come out. read more

Came in for lunch, they tried to seat 3 of us at a 2 top table so, we opted for seats at the bar. RICHARD our bartender was awesome! Made great suggestions. The Big Caesar salad was huge, the portabella mushrooms are awesome and the Pizookie was really tasty. I'd totally make a meal of the mushrooms next time. Passion ice tea was refreshing. read more

Oregano's - Big salad.... should be called HUGE salad. - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

From the other reviews I've read for this location, they seem to be having problems getting their act together, but both visits I've had here have been great experiences. The service and perkiness almost borders on annoying. Almost. They have just he right amount of friendliness and sincerity to not cross over into the cloying territory. Drinks were never empty, the check cycle was quick. What more can you ask for from your waitstaff? The Alfredo the Dark pasta (with chicken) never disappoints. It is big enough to take half of it home and have a great meal the next day as well. The salads are huge. Even what they have as a "side" salad is meal sized dish of fresh Romaine, Parmesan, and tangy Caesar dressing. read more

Oregano's - Alfredo the Dark with chicken - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We love Oregano's and go there often..... mostly for the pan cookie dessert BUT everything we've had is great and we've also had Oregano's cater several events with great success! I love the salads, the Vino Bambino in my favorite bit I get it with Italian and ranch instead of the Caesar because it gives it more zest! The Alfredo in the dark is really yummy if you like Alfredo and you like spice! The pan pizzas are GREAT and really really cheesy! Mac and cheese is good, with a nice crunch and chipotle flavor! We recommend trying them out. And the prices are GREAT! We have a huge feast for $40 with leftovers for 2-4 meals usually! read more

Kristen provided the best service possible. The food was great. Had pizza thin crust, perfect. Our service was timely and on time. Kept drinks full. We will ask for her section every time . Beef salad was great read more

Oregano's - Great time - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Will never order off from this Oreganos again odd or Cactus rd & Tatum. They told us the food would be ready for at 1pm on Mother's Day. The food just arrived at 5pm over 4 hours late. Spent $100 for Frustration. This is the 3rd time this has happened in the past few months. Tried calling a dozen times, busy signal. Don't waste your time or money, this store cannot deliver what they advertise. I challenge the manager to call me an apologize. Since you won't refund me or take my calls. Never left a single negative review in Yelp before. It enough is enough. Al I can say is... don't do it!!! read more

This rating is completely based off of orders to go . Unfortunately people shouldn't do any to-go with them because they basically cut corners ! Sitting in the salads are amazing ! They are layered , full of toppings . When you get them to go it's basically lettuce on lettuce . Super frustrated as I would definitely get them more but as you can tell in my picture definitely not worth it ! read more

Oregano's - Lots and lots of lettuce , minimal toppings on the oreganos favorite . Super disappointed - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Opted to go a bit farther to visit this location based on reviews. Well worth the extra travel time. Staff was friendly and attentive, especially our server, Shelby. read more

Need to visit this place more often, food was so yummy! Julie took care of us and suggested a few items of which we ordered. We started with the Pesto Bruschetta and it was delish! The bread soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Next we shared the Oregano's Favorite salad. I would come back just to eat this salad, it was HUGE. The tomato and olives brought out a refreshing flavor to the salad and complimented the light dressing. And last we shared the Clark Street pizza. Just enough kick to it with the spicy meat and pepper flakes. EVERYTHING we ordered was amazing. Will definitely return to try other items on their menu. read more

Love this location. Patio is really nice, has heaters for when it's cold. Misters for the summer months. Food is always good. If you're looking for an out of the ordinary appetizer, try my fave, the Guaca-tony, it's delicious. read more

Always a great visit when I go. Servers are all friendly and quick to take your order. Food comes out in a quick timely manner. My favorite is the Alfredo the dark, I also will get a garlic bread with cheese for an appetizer. Wine is unfortunately a bit warm and seems like it's room temperature. Cocktails though are always mixed well! Don't leave without getting a pizoockie!! read more

Great, healthy Italian food. Great staff. A pleasurable experience. We had the puta pizza, cannoli, big bigoli and meatballs, and a half price bottle of wine on special. Best tiramisu we've ever had. read more

This is my families go to for pizza, wings and Pizookie. Food is good, service is good (sometimes very slow) but overall good experience. Until this week, I noticed that my bank charge was $8.00 more than my bill was. This has happened TWICE this month. Seems that the waiter we have has been adding an extra tip! I have left two messages for a manager to return my call. Still waiting. We leave cash tips always! So they are adding a nice bonus tip. (Which is theft) Not sure I will go back to this location again. read more

It's the CoronaVirus pandemic. Restaurants are closed to dine-in patrons. You'd think, then, that an established chain like Oregano's would have no problem firing out to go orders like there's no tomorrow. You'd think that the system (by now) would be pretty smooth and excuse-free. Nope. Not the case. Ordered a simple two pasta dinner tonight (A WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR GOD SAKES) through DoorDash that took (yes) TWO HOURS to receive. Two hours!? For spaghetti!? Calling the place twice, they simply said they were really backed up & they were getting to it. Backed up....How exactly!? You literally have NO customers in your restaurant right now; what else do you have to do other than churn through to-go orders!? I don't get it. It's unacceptable and I'll never be ordering from here again, pandemic or otherwise. Such a shame. read more

Food is great as always . Hot Wings are super spicy but the sauce is delicious... we got the a small salad and share fir two . Portions are great pretty big. Service was slower than usual but they were busy and she was still great. Very friend and attentive.. read more

For most of my visits I'd rate this location as a 3-4. The wait times are fairly long and the wait staff are hit or miss but the food is always solid. And the portions are crazy. We went for my dad's birthday tonight and it was a bit of a disaster. We had a party of 7 with 4 people over the age of 60. We waited an hour and were seated in the back of the patio. It was 99 degrees at that hour and we were seated where there were no misters. We asked if we could be reseated inside or in the main part of the patio. The woman who was the manager told us we'd have to wait for 90 mins for either. She claimed there was a party of 15 that was waiting ahead of us. As it turns out, that was a party of 10 and they showed up an hour after we did. After unnecessary back and forth, they moved the not so powerful portable AC in our direction so we stayed. The food, as usual, was solid but the service was bad. Our waitress dropped multiple comments throughout our dinner about how other guests under the covered patio with misters were annoyed that the direction of the portable AC changed. She didn't come check on us very much so we had empty water glasses for a lot of the night. Overall, the way they dealt with the seating was unprofessional and difficult. This could have been avoided if they had asked us if we were ok with being seated in that part of the patio prior to placing us there. I don't think I'll be back here any time soon. read more

Nothing beats an Italian dinner. I've been to this location many times for the past 4 years. Their food quality has always been top notch. The serves are nice and knowledgeable about the menu. I love how they're a family business, not just some giant corporate who likes to franchise their locations everywhere. For today I ordered the meatball pasta with ice tea and man it couldn't get any better. The meat is well cooked although depending on your preference you can also get it medium done, medium rare, and so on. The noodles are juicy and well marinated, every bite is exceptionally delicious. Overall, very satisfied with oreganos and their service. read more

GREAT pizza. AMAZINGLY slow. They can not accommodate the restaurant patrons and pickup orders. I think they told me they can only do 12 pizzas at a time. Be prepared to wait WELL over an hour if you want thin - thick crust takes longer. It's very good, but not worth the wait. ImEvery few months I give it another chance, and just get frustrated again. I place the order online an hour and a half ahead of time. Came to the restaurant and it STILL wasn't ready. Had to wait outside in the heat. Another 20 minutes later, and I finally got my order. read more

The Original Pizza Cookie!? There's no better way to celebrate your birthday than a delicious 1/2 pound of chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate, or white chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough baked a topped with three scoops of vanilla ice cream! Well, there is, but only with Oregano's as a part of your special day (especially as it is FREE on your birthday). Funny thing...I went to Oregano's last night and didn't even get the Original Pizza Cookie. That is because I was filled up on a salad and pizza, both shared with a friend. My friend and I enjoyed a delicious Pablo Picasso Mexico Salad (with chicken in it) though apparently then can substitute pinto beans for chicken for vegetarians. If there's just two of you, get the Jr. instead of the full salad as it is already HUGE as a Jr. We also ordered a pan pizza with several toppings. We were warned that it would take 45-60 minutes for the pizza to come out and were pleased to see it show up in a half hour. Delicious but quite filling pizza! Made for great leftovers though. I have also enjoyed thin crust pizzas and several of the bottomless pastas in the past. While sometimes the wait times can be longer than other times, the estimated wait times are usually pretty accurate. Parking at the Paradise Valley location is a breeze! Definitely a pizza place that visitors to Phoenix should go to regardless of which location, as it is only an Arizona chain. read more

I will never go to this location again. My wife placed an online order at 6 pm tonight. She was told the order would be ready at 7. I arrived at approximately 7:10. The order was not ready. I checked to see if it was ready at 7:55. I was told that they were running about 30-45 minutes behind. When I finally got the order at 8 I took it home to my very hungry family and the pizza was cold, and wings were lukewarm. I understand that circumstances are extraordinary right now, but this is unacceptable. read more

Stopped in for lunch, sat at the bar. Kelsey was our bartender/ server super friendly & helpful. Food was good, parm sand and meatball sand, I would say get the full portion if you want to take half to go, only a couple bucks more. read more

Excellent pizza and pasta. Helpful and friendly staff. Decent value. Yes we'll come back.

Very sad that a bday tradition turned out to be a very mediocre experience this year. Long wait, soggy garlic bread and then the best part was the server briskly sweeping the carpets right into our table. Dirt and dust in our food and eyes. Unimaginable. Guess that's the new covid way. Customer service has suffered and so has our tradition. read more

Easy to order but it's taking 100 years to get my pick up. Very upsetting since I'm taking this to a hospital for a friend. Won't be ordering to go again until the system is revamped. Not happy. read more

We dined here while we were in town for the Patriots Super Bowl. It was a 40 min wait so I figured it would be worth it. They have some good beers on draft which is a good way to start off. The menu is huge, and we started with the garlic bread. It's only around $4 and it's literally an entire loaf, and very good. We went with a medium Pan pizza, as we didn't want to wait 40 min for the Deep Dish. The medium pan was tasty and very filling. While it won't make you forget Chicago pizza, it's a worthy substitute. They had a deep dish cookie dessert which looked great, but we were too full for that. read more

Very very frustrating. I understand the COVID situation is changing things and I'm trying to be as empathetic as possible, but the system is broken here. My promise time was over 30 minutes ago and I'm standing inside the restaurant still which is extremely crowded with over 30 people inside. Everyone here is annoyed. read more

Oregano's never disappoints, no matter which location I visit. I personally prefer this PV location bc it's less than 2 miles from my house and it's where Richard is the bartender! Over the past couple years I've been coming here he's been so friendly, remembers my name, what I like to eat and drink, and provides the hospitality that Oregano's is famous for. He has other regulars who visit him as well. Food's always delicious, too! Hot items always come out hot, cold items nice and fresh. I never sit at a table so I can't comment on that experience but the service I receive at the bar is always spot on. read more

Oregano's - Bruschetta and a Bellini. My happy place - Pizza Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I called ahead and asked for a patio table. I was told it would be about 20 minutes and they would put my name on the list. This was yesterday, for lunch. Also newly open to the public since the quarantine was lifted. We arrived 20 minutes later and told it would be another 15 minute wait. After another 20 minutes we were taken to a table inside, not the patio. When I stated that we were to be on the patio, I was told it would be another 20 minute wait. Other than that, the waiter, Nico, was fantastic. He was friendly, he was efficient, and he was oh so good looking. I can say this about his looks because I'm an old woman! My friend and I both ordered the meatball sandwiches and we were not disappointed. The best meatballs I've had ever! read more

Walked in at 6:30pm on a Friday night and got seated by 6:50pm. They had complimentary bite size samples of their numero uno pizza for the waiting guests so I thought that was nice. Food was good but kitchen was slow! We ordered the Mergherita Pizza, Pablo Picasso salad and 24k wings - the only problem is it took 50 mins for food to come out so we sort of lost our appetite due to the long wait. read more

Had the big rig pasta at my first time at Oregano's and it was great! Customer service was terrific and they have a cool restaurant setup! Definitely would recommend to any one looking to grab lunch! read more

Had dinner here last night. Fabulous as usual! My son and I tried the two new items, Hakuna Piccata and Penne Peñasco. Both were fantastic. I think Hakuna Piccata is my new Oreganos favorite. Mark if you are listening, please keep it on the menu. read more

This is a go to spot for when our friends and family from out of state come visit. It is always busy on the weekends, even for take out. The food is delicious and the orders are great the majority of the time (they only messed up our order(s) a few times). The prices are higher than average, but not horrible, plus it worth it for great food. read more

Oreganos advertised specials, requested online or phone orders and then made patrons wait up to two hours in line in rheir parking lot to get their order. We waited two hours and finally gave up and canceled our order. No apologies and treated rudely by staff manager. Those who did get their food were complaining it was cold. Not what I would expect from oregano's. On a Friday night they should expect to be busy especially ifthey advertised specials to bring in more business. read more

I am so happy with our server Amanda. She made great conversation and checked up on us often to make sure we were all good. The pasta and beers were 10/10! Def comin back! Amanda made our experience awesome. read more

Terrible service. Take out only available with bad service. Telling everyone inappropriate times. I understand you are busy, but telling everyone 40 minutes less then the truth is a disregard for customers time. Very disrespectful. Turn away orders if you cannot fulfill them. Booo oreganos, boooo. Will not be back. read more

Finally got something I liked after my third visit in the past 2-3 months. Meatball sandwich. Good desserts and drinks. Not huge fan of read more

I love this place. I am a thin-crust kind of gal and Oregano's is the best IMO. I always take my out-of-town guests there and they seem to agree. Oregano's never disappoints. As an added bonus, their patio is dog-friendly so I am able to take my fur-baby whenever the weather permits. First we do some browsing in Cave Creek and then we head to Oregano's. I get my thin-crust pizza and she gets her chicken breast. Win-win-win! P.S. Their salads are delicious but huge. Plan on splitting up to 4 ways... read more

The pizza recipe has changed and not for the better. The crust is no longer crisp and they must now be using a Gorgonzola or goat cheese because for the second time this year we ended up with pizzas that tasted like goat cheese. Also order not ready when promised and missed the pasta dish we ordered. So no one is double checking orders. We have been customers for over 10 years but no longer. read more

I rsvp on Yelp and our table was ready within minutes of arriving. The bartender was very friendly he made sure we were happy with our drinks before we left the bar, to head to our table. Food portions are great value for your money. Service is always excellent. If your looking for a good pasta place, this is it! read more

If you're on a diet, avoid this place like the plague!! But otherwise, you really can't go wrong. Portions are enormous so plan according. The spinach artichoke dip was enough for me, my husband and my 2yo son for dinner, so we boxed our entire pizza and of course got a pizookie. My son's first taste of the pizookie was like that scene from Requiem for a Dream. He was jumping up and down chanting "cookie!" So I had to eat really quickly to make sure I got some! Delicious! As for my previous visits to various Oreganos locations... The guacamole appetizer is ginormous and tastes great. My friends rave about the drinks, but I was in a wine mood today and enjoyed the house merlot. I've had the pesto pasta bake before, and it almost has too much cheese if that's even possible. The mushroom pasta wasn't quite as good but still just fine. Oreganos is always reliable. read more
