Great service, great food. You can't go wrong with their pizzas. Although I don't recommend getting cheese stuffed... you'll be drowning in cheese! read more

Food was good, staff was good... only problem was most of the party I was with ordered from the dinner menu (during Lunch) and was told we could not order a side salad because it was not in the computer to have it with dinner- you can only have it when you order off of the lunch menu... Makes no sense...our waitress did say we could order the large dinner salad with our meals.... ---it was LUNCH!!!! Still not sure why a small/side salad can not be offered with the Calzone, sausage pasta, etc............Manager needs to FIX the computer..... read more

This is our favorite restaurant now!!! Everyone goes out of their way to welcome you with and enthusiastic smile! Food is fantastic with huge servings! Yum-yum! Chelsea, our waitress was a great waitress and went out of her way to make sure our needs were met! They served our pizza but it wasn't exactly like we ordered so a different waitress who served the pizza (sorry I didn't get her name) said we could munch on the pizza and they would make us a new one! Then Roy the manager came out and apologized and said the kitchen was rushed and misread it. He said he would have a new one made for us right away and would box up the other one for us. Roy was a fantastic manger and excels in customer service. Thank you Roy and Chelsie for above and beyond service! read more

So to start out I'm told it would be a 1:45 wait for a carry-out pizza. Wow. I know they are busy, but this isn't Friday or Saturday night, or Super Bowl Sunday--it was 4:00 on a a Thursday. Next bombshell, the price. $24.50 for a 12" pan pizza. What? Is it topped with caviar or does it come in a box lined with felt and gold inlays? Of course not. So that's 2 strikes already. This had better be one good pizza. Unfortunately, it was just average. The crust was described on their website as light and flaky. But I would best describe the majority of the crust as sponge-like and heavy. And the exposed edge was hard & crunchy. The toppings were also very light, hard to tell because they put the cheese on the top, but I pulled off the layer in a few spots and found the toppings quite sparse. And canned mushrooms. That's terrible. In summary, an almost 2 hour wait, way over-priced, and average at best. That equals two stars. read more

Oreganos is one of your favorite restaurants. We have been to several other locations throughout the valley but the food and service quality at this new location is really disappointing. We always get a salad, but the quality at this location can be compared to a bag of salad bought at the store, that is a couple days old that needs to eaten or it needs to be tossed soon. The service is hit and miss. The staff seems to always be in a world of their own, talking loudly and joking around, not bothering about how disruptive it is to the patrons around them. Will probably stick to the other locations even with their longer waits. read more

Usually love Oregano's, but this experience was horrible!!!! Waited over and hour for a seat on Wednesday night. Once seated it took another ten minutes to place a drink order, which by the way was water and received zero refills because of an absence of our waiter. Once we did order it took another forty minutes to receive our food. A true disappointment. read more

I don't eat Italian very often but I like to get the lasagna at Oregano's. Very tasty and a great atmosphere. Good service and very fair prices. If you want to share a salad, and you do, order the small, it is huge. Placed is always packed and there is a reason. They have been making good Italian for many years. You will enjoy this place. See you at the bar. read more

Thought because we had "5" that there was a special table they were waiting to open up.....turns out....no. We made our reservations, got there on time for check in.....seems like we were passed up because we had an odd number. We sat at a four top with me hanging out at the end of the table. Yelp gave us hope that the whole reservation thing would work but no. Reserved online and had an hour to wait...got to the restaurant and waited another hour plus before being seated. (should have cooked hot dogs & beans at home and called it a day) read more

Started out horrible! Walked in about 4pm on a Sunday and was told by three hostesses it was going to be about a 45 minute to an hour wait. That was fine it was my daughter's birthday and that's where she wanted to eat. However within the first five minutes of being there we saw three tables get vacated and with drinks and a few items left on the tables. Those tables sat for a total of 40 minutes before anybody bussed those tables. We asked the three hostesses that were doing nothing but standing there about those tables and they said we don't bus tables the waitress busses the tables. Behind us was the to go area with about five people doing nothing but standing there. A man came in to get pizza to go and it was squished like a taco and they expected him to take it like that. Even the manager expected him to take it. After he refused he waited about 40 minutes for another one. And then we heard someone else come up to the go area and they were told no more to go orders for another couple hours cause they were too busy. After the manager came up to the front the tables did get bussed by the hostess girls. And things started moving after that. However where is the manager for the first 40 minutes? The hostess girls started telling everybody its gonna be an hour and a half to two hours wait and they only have about 15 names on the list! Once we did get sat we had the best waitress ever! Her name was Felise. She was super nice and very fast! She made us laugh and we had a very enjoyable experience with her! She basically saved our experience! The food itself is very good as well however the kitchen did mess up two of the orders! Our waitress did make sure to take care of it like I said she was awesome! I know they just opened but the managers really do need to make sure that the hostesses and the people up front are doing away better job and have better customer service as well as their customer service skills! read more

Oregano's - Great salad and dessert! - Pizza Near Me - Surprise, Arizona

See all

Yummy flavorful sauces. SO GOOD. And great service. Travis was very helpful explaining everything on the menu!

We have been to Oregano's in the past at other locations and have always been happy so we were excited that one was opening up in Surprise. We went on a Sunday afternoon and were seated immediately because we chose to sit on the patio. The patio was nice, but I think there was only one waitress for the entire patio which means we waited a while before we could order drinks. Also, there were a lot of flies on the patio. The waitress was nice and we were ready to order once she got to us. It took about 40 minutes to get our food after ordering, but my daughter ordered a calzone which we didn't realize takes longer to cook. I got the meatball sub. It was only ok. There wasn't much sauce on it at all so I used the cup of sauce that came with my daughters calzone to help with the dryness factor. I liked the coleslaw that came with the sandwich. The fries were good. My husband got the stuffed Italian sub. He liked it, but he asked for the giardiniera on it and they forgot it. He got the sweet potato fries which have cinnamon on them - they are delicious. My daughter liked the O'zone calzone. Drinks took a little long to fill and service was a bit slow. So far, I'm disappointed. I was expecting a better experience from Oregano's. read more

Sara the onsite manager was not polite at all. She should not be doing with customers.

The service was great! We walked in and got greeted by many workers. However the food wasn't as good as it usually was at other locations and there were flies everywhere, surrounding our table. It's been difficult for me to want to come back to this location. read more

They defiantly need to work out a few kinks but this location is pretty good. The 5 or 6 hostess girls that all say "welcome" the second you open the door in their most annoying baby voice has got to be toned down a bit, for sure! (Why so many hostesses btw? You don't seat people for 45 minutes anyway, it's not like they are bringing people back to tables...) read more

Had a lovely spontaneous late lunch/early dinner today. Manager Angela greeted us warmly and got us seated promptly. I had stuffed rigatoni and my husband had Big o Rigatoni. Both were delicious and were huge portions. Finished meal off with baked cookie/ice cream. Thank you Jenna for being such an attentive server. Would definitely recommend and will go back. read more

Well.... We love this atmosphere -we like walking up here for some wine but really have to consider if this is where we want to eat because of the way they ring up gluten free pizza. Barrows has the better deal and the better pizza. Oreganos GF pizza not comparable to any other restaurants whatsoever. Yes, GF pizzas are always smaller which is to be expected. Oreganos bases the price on that of a bigger pizza plus a "build your own" platform on top of that --costing you upwards of $30 for a 10" pizza ( which for some; is personal size ). They should allow you to order the same pizza as any other one on the menu (which reach up to 22") and upcharge the crust only - instead of begin from scratch with an overpriced GF crust and rack up toppings until you have a $30-$35 ...... 10" pizza in front of you. read more

Good food, a nice atmosphere. Great service staff. Salads are enormous and well prepared.

First of all, we were seated outside and we were ok with this thinking that they had heaters, but no they did not and we froze. We waited over 20 minutes just for the waiter to come take our drink orders and then he ended up forgetting my husband's glass for his beer. Then once we ordered, we waited over an hour, freezing for our food. I ended up pulling my car up to the curb and my son went and sat in the car while we ate our food. Food was lukewarm like it had been sitting there for a while. We only ate half of it and paid and left. Recommend NOT sitting on the porch at all unless the middle of summer. Mind you this was in Arizona and not somewhere back east. Not sure we will be back or not, just disappointed in the entire experience. read more

Ordered the Bruschetta was tasty and portion generous for the price only thing was tomatos needed to be cut smaller to be bite size. Staff was awesome -friendly and knowledgeable. Need to dust bottles decorating the bar. read more

We had take out from here to the other night we ordered over the phone and went right in and picked it up it was ready right when they said it was the food is extremely good here the restaurant look really clean they helped us get our food the car they were extremely helpful I would recommend going here to anybody it's one of the best restaurants out in Surprise read more

This was about my six visit. I love the thin crust pizza with toppings of sausage and basil. Of course, I must have the calamari appetizer. Our waiter was so friendly and attentive. Oregano's is one of my favorite restaurants. read more

All dishes served at the same time. Pizza, salad and/or entree. This leaves you rushing to eat while hot or skipping food.

My husband, daughter and I decided to stop in for lunch today. We were seated right away by the friendly staff in the front as we walked in. We were greeted right away by our awesome and friendly server Charlie. He never stopped smiling the entire time we were there; he was really great!! We ordered off of the lunch menu and we were served within 30 minutes. My daughter was given a ball of pizza dough to play with while we waited for our food, she was so happy. It was a great first visit to this location. Because of Charlie, the great food and good vibes, we'll definitely be coming back soon. read more

The service was great but the food was so bad. Beef sandwich had almost no cheese and was tasteless. The spinach in my salad was black and so very bad. Should have never been given to anyone The cheese and garlic bread was so very good I could have had just that. Do not know what was going on today but it was just off. Please get it back on track. read more

The only local chain I really like. Great lunch specials. Deep dish is fantastic ! Arrive early or expect a wait. Pick up orders are a good way to go too with priority parking. read more

WE went to Oreganos on Tuesday the 17th of December, to try it out. My sister has been saying how great the pizzas are, so I thought we'd give it a try. Now let me say, I know a ton Italian Chefs in and around the metro area Minneapolis / St Paul Minnesota, but since moving to the Phoenix, AZ area I know nothing about the food. Those that read my reviews, know how much I love food, so finding new favorites is going to be fun and entertaining. My two loves; exploring and great food (other than my wife) will keep me occupied for some time, in this new land. Anyway, back to Oreganos. I had researched it on the website, and it sure sounded interesting. Large portions, and authentic fare was absolutely a huge draw for me. What they didn't mention on the website, was the dynamite service we would receive from Cari. You may or may not know great service when you see it, but this foodie does. She greeted us with a huge smile, the kind that you know is genuine and you know that they truly love their job. I know from experience, that the sign of a true, dyed in the wool, Italian restaurant, is measured by; the meatballs and the "homemade" Italian sausage, so that was an automatic order for me. The menu was large, but not overwhelming. Tons of my favorites, so ordering was daunting. I should add here, my Wife is a Lasagna snob. She saw that on the menu and her deal was signed. I took what seemed to take an eternity to her to order. I finally settled on the; "Neighborhood Favorite", Bollo Pasta, pronounced; bowl o pasta. I did add a meatball and sausage. The Bollo Pasta was all I could eat, angel hair and marinara sauce ( meat sauce was extra. but the marinara sauce is another benchmark for me). For starters I ordered; garlic bread with cheese and Cari suggested a side of the Marinara (excellent upsell, another sign of a great waitress). The bread was enough to serve 4 easily. It hung over the basket on both sides. Cari asked if we wanted parmesan cheese on the bread, to which we both said yes. She took it out of a container and was not shy with it. We devoured it like we hadn't eaten in a month. To say it was good would be an understatement. The side of marinara, was one of the best I've had. Lots going on in there. Great taste and really chunky from the tomatoes. I hate a marinara sauce that's smooth. When our entrees came, my first thought was, my wife will never eat all that. A HUGE portion, easily enough for Mr. Tastebud across the table to share. My Bollo Pasta was plenty for most mortals, but the addition of the baseball sized meatball and the 8" Italian sausage, was going to make a second bowl of pasta, even a challenge for me. Again, Cari was on top of her game, offering additional parmesan cheese to the tops of our entrees. Wow! This is great, my wife exclaimed. Needless to say, I was amazed at her comment. She added after she, ATE IT ALL (darn) that ; "This is the best I have ever eaten anywhere"!!!. My meatball was true Italian, not to much meat to where it is hard (although still baseball sized) but not to mushy either. The sausage (I found they have it flown in from Chicago) was to die for. The angel hair the first time was a little watery, but when I asked Cari to tell chef to drain it better the second, yes I said second, helping was a lot better. Cari removed the empty dishes immediately, (another big point value to a great waitress) and asked if we had room for dessert. Unfortunately, neither of us did. Would have loved to try the cheese cake, maybe next time. I have spent way more money, for far less food and lousy wait staff. You can't go wrong at Oreganos in Surprise, AZ . The food is way above par, & our waitress is the best. We will definitely return several times, and when we do we will absolutely ask for Cari. A real Gem. Trust Mr. Tastebud, you won't be disappointed. read more

First time we had Oregans pizza was great! This was our favorite pizza place in AZ. Ordered the exact same pizza last. We were told what time to pick it up. Hubby picked up at the exact time they told him to. Pizza was COLD. I am so disappointed! Looking for a new pizza place read more

The food is great the atmosphere is like a 1950s diner very nastolgic decor. The service is ok but the hostess is extremely rude. She is almost happy to deliver the news that you will be waiting 45-60 minutes for a table. Not very helpful to direct you to the bar and possibly spend more money on a drink. read more

Didn't even stay for food, they don't show the Arizona Cardinals game!!! Seriously???? They are your home team!!!!!

This place is always great food and good service. The only down side I can think of is wait times but that is expected in this area. The patio area is always great ambience. read more

The easiest thing to serve as a restaurant is breakfast and pizza, so why can't a pizza place accomplish the simple task of making a pizza? Been to other Oregano's with good luck but the Bell and 303 location is the worst! Will never set foot in that place again! read more

I've always loved Oreganos and I've always had great experiences. It was my first time at this location, we used the Yelp option to check in and were sat right when we arrived despite it being a little busy. The server came over right away (I believe her name was Alyssa but I don't remember) she took our drink order and informed us since it's a little busy food may take longer than usual so we ordered right away! I love when they can let us know before we sit there waiting for a while it makes the wait easier for some reason. The food actually didn't take too long it came out hot and fresh. Everything was delicious especially the cookie we added at the end! She brought us our check promptly and our drinks were always full. We will definitely be going back regularly to enjoy the amazing food and great service! read more

I've been there twice now and loved everything! We are always welcomed right away when u walk in which is great because I hate when hostesses ignore you. First time my fiancé and I came in and sat at the bar. The bartender was busy as it was New Year's Eve but she was very friendly and provided great service!! I ordered the chicken parm and it was so good. Came on noodles and a side piece of garlic toast. If was so good. My fiancé had some mushroom pasta dish and wasn't impressed. He got meatballs added and a side of toast and said that the meatballs saved the dish. The calamari was amazing!! The second time I went I offered the chicken Alfredo and that was really good too! The prices for what you get is perfect. read more

I love Oregano's! Their Pablo Picasso salad is one of my favorites along with the calamari. Their pizookie's are the best in the area. We love half peanut butter and half chocolate chip. The service has always been amazing and we will continue to go back. read more

Have always loved this restaurant but tonight we were disappointed. Service was great. My husband was really disappointed that they no longer make his favorite Calzone. I always go for the pasta dishes and chose the Rigatoni dish...sauce was super delicious but the so called rigatoni was disgusting. If there was cheese in the rigatoni pasta I sure couldn't find it. They tasted like pasty flour and overcooked. Definitely not the type of pasta I've previously eaten there. The staff was great and took the dish off our bill. read more

Called to pick up a pizza on the way home from work, they said it would be an HOUR! What, thats crazy, I said if I was in the store would it be an hour, she said well it takes time to prepare!!! No Way, that crazy! So much for eating here...wheres the manager?? read more

This was our first time here and it was great! Food was excellent and service good. Yes there was a long wait but it was absolutely worth it! We will definitely be back. Just a fair warning if you've never been to an Oregano's: the portion are huge. Salads can easily be shared between 2 people and even the pasta is easy to share. The pizza is amazing, we had the Chicago thin crust. Overall well worth the wait and the visit read more

LOVE! Italian Southwest fusion, that means Italian favs with a spicey twist. The Surprise place was clean and had friendly service, though very crowded during peak hours. Fun atmosphere. We prefer to call ahead and take our pizza to go (deep dish takes about 45 min). I highly recommend the caesar salad with chicken, it's AMAZING. Serving sizes are absurdly huge, share the salad! read more

Our first Italian Restaurant since we moved to AZ, August 11, 2018. And I loved it, the garlic cheese bread is excellent, I ordered the Ziti three cheese with meat sauce in a bread bowl and it was very good. I cannot wait to visit Oregano's again to try other items on the menu. Thank you for excellent service. read more

We love this place; my wife and I eat here all the time. The service is always great, with extra friendly staff members. However, there is one particular staff member who really stood out on our recent visit. Rebecca was outstanding and she really went above and beyond for us. She was the BEST!!! We will always come to Oregano's in the future, we just wanted to comment on how wonderful she was. Thank you, Oregano's for hiring such great and personable people. read more
