People love this restaurant--I'm not sure why. I went to two different locations during my visit to the Phoenix area. The first visit I had the salad with the shaved jalapeño seasoned beef. Beef was good, but after a while, a lump of beef on top of nothing but lettuce became boring and not such a wonderful meal. My second visit I decided to get one of the thin crust vegetarian pizzas--again, nothing to shout about. The people I was with ordered pasta dishes--a ton of food! Maybe that is why people love this place? I didn't dare ask "why?", but decided it wasn't on the top of my list for favorites. read more

The main course came out before the appetizer :( and considering their portions this is not a good thing. Seeing how much food we were served made us tell them to x the app. I was really hoping to have the artichoke lasagna but came in a week too early for it to make it to the menu. My partner loved the Diablo shrimp. read more

Excellent food, great service and great drinks. Garlic cheese bread is out of this world and wings are a savory delight! read more

Server Jake (Jacob) ! fantabulous took care of us very well!!! Also my beer glass had a sharp edge on the drinking part of the glass he took care of this immediately. read more

Family style portions, very large. Food is good and prices are reasonable. Appetizers are large in portions as well. 1 appetizer can feed up to 4 people. Salads are HUGE! Staff is helpful and friendly. Will visit again. read more

They have great margaritas, each different one with a different type of alcohol. The red Sangria was short on fruit but very tasty. We only tried appetizers but the MAC n Cheese was to die for! read more

Oregano's - They play cool old music. Margarita was great - Pizza Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

it's oregano's. what's not to love??? new things to try - the guaca-tony; guac served with a nekkid pizza crust. i'll forgive them for the ridiculous amounts of raw red onions sprinkled all over. and my fave - the veggie wedge - or big ole vedge as it's now called comes in a JUNIOR!??? love it. read more

I'm not sure why they call it Oregano's, they should call it Garlic's (or Aglio's). Everything is super large portions (not good or bad). The food is very flavorful, but all kinda a bit over-the-top. I feel that if they left off an ingredient or two in some of their pizzas, they'd be better. I'm close to giving it 3 Stars, but the food is so monumentally unhealthy that I rounded down rather than up. read more

Second time enjoying O's food. All I can say is yum! Good and attentive service at a fair price. My Italian fave. Forgot to mention I am part Italian, so I am particular. Also my first five star! read more

I can't believe it took us so long to try Oregano's. We stopped by after our Ikea trip on Saturday and had some seriously delicious food. We started with the garlic bread and marinara, very yummy but I really wish it came out cut. I ordered the Bistro Classic pizza which was amazing, the tomatoes were plentiful and delicious. The rest of the family ordered the lasagna and the Italian sausage sandwich (Jr size), both were raved about. Serving sizes are huge, we'll do more sharing next time without a doubt. Also prices are very reasonable. I was shocked to see our bill come out to under $50, I hadn't really paid attention to the prices when ordering and just expected it to be around $60. Service left a bit to be desired but it was alright, and it's really loud in there, which I didn't love. read more

As always Oreganos never disappoints!! Ordered the Cesar salad with chicken and it was divine. Perfect. I am always satisfied when I come here for a family meal regardless of whether we dine in or pick up. This is one of my favorite places to eat in the valley. Customer service is top notch. read more

Oregano's never disappoints! Best food, best service,best everything! It's my go to when I want to be sure my guest will enjoy their experience. Thank you! read more

My husband and I love Oregano's, it's one of our favorite restaurants. Today, we were disappointed in both the quality of the food and drinks, as well as the service. Our drinks tasted watered down, and for $6.99 a piece, we expect a little more. The serving size, which is usually really large (at least at the Gilbert location) was much smaller. Our server, Taylor, was not very attentive and asked my obviously NOT under aged husband for his ID. It took quite a while just to get our drinks be we were not asked at all if we wanted dessert. We felt very rushed. Over-all, not the best experience. read more

Oregano's - Pizza cookie! - Pizza Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Our favorite pizza place. Super kid friendly. Food is always the best. Great service.

It was just ok. Hadn't been there for awhile. I had the wedding soup, it was ok. My husband had the slice is pizza, it was big, I tried a bite, but didn't really like it. The other times we went was for supper and ordered whole pizza, I remembered it being really good, but not this time. Usually go to the one in Mesa and it always has a long wait time. read more

This place was great. The customer service was really nice and everyone was friendly. Our foods came out really promptly and hot which is a plus with Italian food. The environment was really clean and well decorated. Will come again! read more

Good food but over prices for amount of money. I ordered Big Rig and half the food was missing! and this is how it came read more

Oregano's - Pizza Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Took almost an hour to get our food.. Never came to refill our drinks. The pasta was undercooked on one and overcooked on the other. No birthday pazookie.. *note: the parking lot only had about 7 cars (4 of which were ours). Needless to say, I will never have another birthday meal here or even consider coming back for a long time. Really, really disappointed. read more

This is a chain-franchise-knock-off. It's not good, it's not bad. It has the same value as fast food, but a little nice and therefore you will pay more. It's a place I visited while moving. I chose it because I could see it from the Elliot Street. The service was ok, but the food was far from impressing. I ordered the waitress corporate predetermined recommendation - and it wasn't good. It tasted like anything you can buy in the frozen meals section from the grocery store, prepared well. I will not be coming back. .. und das ist was es ist read more

I typically love Oregano's, but I like the one my fiancé and I go to in Tucson. This one did not impress me at all. Our waiter was a little too pushy when it came to adding things onto our meal for an extra charge... We both ordered the Pasta Basta and I didn't want any meat on mine (I have a mainly vegetarian diet). After pushing me to order some meat, he made a snarky comment about me not eating any protein. Also, there was a waitress there who was serving the table next to us. She was wearing extremely short shorts, to the point where I lost my appetite. Is there no dress code for the employees here? Overall, the food was good. First time trying the garlic bread and we ordered it with cheese... It was fantastic! read more

I have lived in the valley for almost 8 years now, and I have always avoided going to this place. You see, I am Italian, and I am very picky about my Italian food, and how I like it. Luckily my Oregano's-obsessed boyfriend made me go with him to the first time ever at this location. Now, I'm not quite sure what I thought Oregano's was (::cough:: Olive Garden ::cough::) but it id diametrically different from my assumptions. I have heard that they have taken a ton of stuff off of the menu and for that, they have lost a star. But in all honesty, what I had was great. Our waiter Shawn/Sean was attentive, nice (and pretty) and laughed when we decided we wanted a deep dish pizza with 10 toppings on it. He began to realize we were serious with all of the toppings when we didn't laugh and looked him square in the eye... He took out his pencil and paper and asked us to resume. (That part was funnier than I've made it out to be.) They had an okay selection of beer, but luckily a good one. He was on point with our order and let us know well in advance how long it would take to cook our monstrosity. I appreciated the heads up as our pizza took all of 30 minutes but for fresh, custom, deep dish pizza, it was well worth the wait. As a woman that revels in her pizza making skills and her cooking abilities, Oregano's made a damn good pizza that day, and for that I commend them. Just make sure to not remove anything else off the menu and we'll be good. P.S. Th Bruschetta was ridiculous. It was so tasty, I'll probably go back to copy the recipe... YUM! read more

As far as chain restaurants go, this one is top notch. It has everything you could want in a food venue. Great appetizers, huge portions, great drink selections, and more. I like the fact that they make "strong" mixed drinks, and they usually have some great local and seasonal beers on tap. The Guac-a-Tony appetizer is by far my favorite. I even know a guy who, the first thing he does when he comes in from out of town is orders this. Just make sure you have more than two people in your group before trying this appetizer otherwise you won't be able to eat anything else. Indeed, they make great pizza, but there is so much more to this restaurant than their pizza. In fact, I don't remember the last time I actually got a pizza from them. read more

First time at an Oregano's. Delicious pizza and drinks. Server was friendly. The place was pretty busy for on a Saturday. Limited seating but there was plenty up at the bar. read more

1. Wings, Pablo Picasso salad, and pazooki are awesome. 2. Great service and atmosphere. 3. Pizza is good not great. read more

Meh. That's all I can say. This is my 2nd time in after my frist visit I said I would probably never return because there really wasn't anything on the menu I liked. I ordered hot wings and didn't like them. The place is nice enough that. They didn't charge me for the wings so hospitality and service wise this place is amazing. Atmosphere is great and have had great wait-staff. Now this time around I came back because a friend had just started working there and told me to come in for a 2nd try. Told me to get something other than the wings. So this time I tried the brechetta (didn't spell that right huh?) and that was pretty good. Nothing special but good. Got the margarita pizza pan style and it was good but again nothing special. Then we got dessert. The highlight of the evening was that freakin cookie. It was so delicious. The cookie was baked fresh so it was still warm and soft yet crispy with ice cream on top. The combination of the fresh warm cookie with cold ice cream was amazing. I thought I was full with the food I had ate but once I had a bite of the cookie I was digging in like I hadn't eaten a thing. So overall I don't understand what the big hype about the food is because its "ok" food for me. Its good but does not live up to what other people have told me about this place. On the other hand I will be returning for a drink and that cookie again. read more

Maybe it was that I went with a friend who's vegetarian and so didn't order exactly how I would have otherwise. But the pizza just didn't do it for me here. Service was good, salads were good. Pizza just "meh." Because of the other reviewers who seem to love this place, I might try it again... the jury's out on that. There are so many restaurants in the vicinity, I'm just as likely to try another spot. read more

This is definitely one of my top 10 favorite places to go. The food is amazing! There's a delicious adult beverage there called a Dirty Monkey that makes for an even more fun experience. read more

My experience at Oregano's was awful. We waited for our appetizer for 20 minutes: it was bread. Bread does not take that long. Then it took 50 minutes for our food to even get here in the first place. Our food was cold and the waitress wasn't even remotely sorry about it when we told her. Literally didn't even say sorry. When asked to speak to the manager, the manager came to us and offered to make us new entrees. By that time, our appetites were gone. I am disgusted with how we were treated. It is unacceptable to treat paying customers- or people In general- this way. Will not be returning. read more

Our host Danny went above and beyond tonight. Our cups were never empty, our food was delivered to our table perfectly timed and his recommendation for entrees was spot on. Nothing could have made our dinner better. We will definitely be back again and hopefully Danny will be working. read more

Oregano's - Pizza Cookie - Chocolate Chip - Pizza Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Granted, I'm about to make this statement based on my first time being at an Oregano's in quite awhile (a few years maybe?), but once you've been to one location you've pretty much been to them all...and that's a good thing! Oregano's has solid food & friendly service. This is probably like the fourth or fifth location I've been to over the years (the other ones were in Scottsdale & Phoenix). Honestly, the one thing about Oregano's I remember not liking as much in the past was their pizza (they have really good pasta & salads), but pizza was what I ordered this time and it was really good! It was a veggie pizza with sun-dried tomatoes, feta, and I can't remember what else but it was really good. Everything tasted fresh. We opted for thin crust, which I had never had from Oregano's before (maybe that's why I liked it better?). I like Oregano's. I like this location. I like the fact that the Phoenix area has a local chain like this that's successful. read more

In my absence on Yelp for a couple months, I went traveling. So here is Oregano's Pizza Bistro. It's one of quite a few in Arizona, and I very honestly wish I could take it back to California with me. The portions here are huuuge. Actually, probably huge for a person like me, but pretty normal when you think about restaurant portions. The water glasses here are like a third larger than regular water glasses! The Boom Dip: Really delicious piping hot spinach and artichoke dip, served with "Italian chips". This is definitely something to share with your friends! The Italian chips were HUGE and crisp on the outside but soft enough on the inside. It made a great pair. Bistro Sweet Po's: I have a soft spot in my heart for sweet potato fries. I will try them anywhere! Oregano's served them with a sprinkling of cinnamon and a tangy aioli. A good sweet and salty combination. My first time at Oregano's, I got the Big Rig Pasta. That thing was huge! But also delicious. The cream sauce paired well with the fresh diced tomatoes and I loved the spice. My second time, I got the Alfredo The Dark. It took my favorite sauce and added a twist - this shit is spicy, dude. Spicy seems to be something they favor here as a few pasta items on their menu have spice. If you get the Bollo Pasta, they say it's "spicy", but it isn't really. The sauce is very different than your run of the mill marinara though, in a good way. I would recommend it if you're going for something simple for lunch. Others might find the decor and environment very kitschy - commercials from decades past play on the televisions inside, the menu covers are old album covers, and everything is styled to be very retro. The backs of the staff t-shirts will make you laugh. I find it all amusing. What I didn't find amusing was how long it took for food to come out - they were always busy when we went. Other than that though, my experience with Oregano's was very pleasant. read more

Orega doesn't Blow By The Rue What is it about this place, That makes me want to stuff my face, I don't even wait to say grace, "Tina eat the food" without leaving a trace. Let me drop onto you some widsom, From the top of my intellectual prism, Oregano's has never gotten my criticism, Much like the Dewey Decimal System. Anything you order you can't go wrong, Whether you're sober or baked like Chong, If you go with me please wear a thong, I think I'll turn this review into a song. Vino Bambino salad or antipasto, Try either one or the Pablo Picaso, I'll bet you're from the town of Madesto, I say "abra cadabra" and presto!! Shazaam!! read more

Oreganos is my absolute favorite spot for pizza. The salads are great too. Portions are huge! Jake was the best!

Oregano's - Great food! - Pizza Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Went there when was in town for Parents Weekend at ASU's business school. My niece, nephew and his girlfriend who all live there recommended this place. First went to another Oregano's which was too crowded, so ended up at this one. The place was still packed, but was able to get a drink and sit on the outside patio in the 100 weather at night! Not sure how you deal with that weather all the time. FInally got in after a 40 minute wait, but the pizza and pasta was really good! Because we were not in any rush, didn't mind the wait, but in future would never wait that long. read more

Since our daughter moved to Tempe, wife and I will take the hour drive to see her once in awhile! So, the wife, our two foster daughters and I packed up and hauled to Tempe. One of the reason why I moved out of SoCal, was traffic. One of the reason why I hate Tempe, is traffic. Anyway, the main reason why we took the trip. So our daughter could meet the foster kids for the first time. We have been wanting to try Oregano's, so we decided to try this location out. One thing I have noticed since we have had our foster kid's are trying to find a place where they like the food. They are not use to restaurants, they love fast foods. So we were seated, ordered our drinks quickly, and a cheese bread appetizer. Their cheese bread was amazing if you like garlic! Our six yr old had the kids meal cheese pizza, our seven yr old was the tough one. She was acting like she didn't want to eat there. Knowing that she like spicy food, I ordered hot wings and a large pepperoni pizza half with jalapenos. Our daughter had the chicken Parmesan, and wife had the penne pesto. I can tell the six year old enjoyed the food, WHY! She ate her whole personal pizza, had two hot wings,sampled the wife's penne, and daughters parmesan! The seven year old did like the pizza, and hot wings. I myself thought the food was good. I did request the pizza to be well done, like the crust crispy. However the waiter advised not to since their crust is extra thin and will burn the crust. After getting the pizza, wished they would have cooked it longer. We had a great time, the girls loved our daughter, food was good. Now for the cons! We felt the waiter was rushing us through out our time there? We were not ever half way done with our food and he was already asking us about dessert, and boxes for our food? And prices, I,m OK with shelling out hundred dollars for dinner. This place just doesn't seem to be a place I would enjoy spending that kind of money. This is why I almost gave this place a 3-star review. But the overall experience we had, was well worth it. We had fun, girls enjoyed the dinner. read more

Lively ambience , good pizza with good friends makes it a wonderful evening. Tried the número uno and pesto pizza with Cajun chicken . The thin crust was crisp but probably a bit over done ! The toppings especially the numero uno ( sausage and pepperoni was worth the try ) . read more

Foods great. I love the sandwiches and pasta bowls. The pesto pasta bowl is my favorite.
