Let's leave it short and sweet. Over priced and not knowing how to make a pizza. Who in their right mind would give this a 5 star?

Pizza Score: 8.2 Very nostalgic pizza shop. I grew up going to Miguel's Pizza at Red River Gorge in KY, and this atmosphere reminds me so heavily of those mid-east evenings camping. The pizza was incredible, the incredibly kind employee recommended the Otto Mia & Otto Supreme, and both were fantastic. Crispy crust, toppings were fresh and flavorful. Little too saucy and a little under-cheesed for my preference, but that's just me being picky. All around a great pie for the cost (much cheaper than its neighboring competitors). Check their lunch deals in the pictures, I'll 100% be taking advantage of those. Service members were incredibly friendly and I never saw them without a smile and kind greeting. Waited about 20 minutes for my order, which is about average wait time, but was so enthralled with the vibe of the restaurant that I didn't even notice. Will be back. If you're on the fence between Otto & another place, pick Otto. You won't be disappointed.

Staycationing nearby, we decided to support local for lunch and drive into Tempe for a large pie and some cheesecakes to boot. Amazing crust and killer sauce. Not too crunchy but still crispy. Great. They gave us plates and napkins as well. Delicious!

I first discovered Otto Pizza & Pastry in 2021. One of my former coworkers from Whole Foods, located across the street, recommended it, and he said he really enjoyed it. After he described the place, I tried it for myself. Otto Pizza & Pastry is among the most incredible pizza places in Tempe. Everything on the pizza tastes fresh, and I particularly enjoy the sauce's flavor. It gives you a nice burst of tomato flavor. They also have great calzones, pastas, sandwiches, and pastries. I have had their cheesecake, and it is some of the best cheesecake I have ever had. The service is friendly and helpful. They are happy to offer any of their best-selling menu items and to ensure you have everything you need. I also like the atmosphere of the place. It is a pleasant, quiet atmosphere where you can enjoy your food while watching TV, with the television on top of the refrigerator, which also houses the pastries. I highly recommend Otto Pizza & Pastry to anyone seeking a great pizza place in Tempe. It is one of the more underrated pizza places, and it deserves more respect. I am eager for my next visit.

We tried this downtown Tempe staple for the first time and were pleasantly surprised by the quality and deliciousness of everything we ordered. The pizza was perfectly cooked with ample toppings. We enjoyed the salad we got as a starter. I would have liked a homemade dressing as opposed to packaged, but I know that's a lot of extra work to make dressing when it maybe isn't the most popular item on the menu. Service was friendly and quick. We'll be stopping in the next time we have a craving for pizza!

I'm a pizza connoisseur and this pizza didn't disappoint. Thin crust, crispy, just the right amount of toppings. It's a casual spot where you can grab a slice or a whole pie, and the service is fast and friendly. My only regret is that I didn't get a dessert!

Stopped by as a family for dinner after a moving project. Most of us ordered the calzones and loved them!! Super sized and not overly expensive. The employees are always amazing and have the best service! Really a family-oriented place. I always recommend this place to friends who live around here. Looking forward to coming back!

I was standing in line at blaze pizza and thought to myself.....I can do better. After checking out the reviews I headed over to Otto and I'm so glad I did. Since two of us were eating and we wanted some leftovers we got a XL 16 inch pizza. 1/2 and 1/2 ingredients so they only counted it as one. Pizza was made to order and they had a variety of great specials to choose from. Their specials are listed on their website and throughout the store. 16", 1-topping $14.99. I like a lot of sauce so I got a cup on the side to dip. It was a solid addition to the already tasty pizza. Happy with my experience here.

The "lift"...not bad...not bad.... ;)

Yep...this is a solid little pie house. I think it's female owned (very cool) and there's definitely a sincere touch of grace from the phone call to order (they thanked me for calling) to the warm smiles and "thanks for coming in"! In todays climate, a thank you goes goes such a long long way. The pie itself? Delicious. Great chew to the dough and crust and the flavor is spot on in my opinion. It's a great pie...well done. Enjoy Tempe. ;)

But my goodness this cheese was fantastic. The crust was fantastic and I have to say the sauce was so good! I never eat the whole pizza and I did! My husband ordered like a meat lovers's pizza and he ate the whole thing and my son ordered a cauliflower crust pizza and he ate his pizza. It was fantastic! I highly recommend coming into this place. The vibe is super cool. The service is Amazing, and the menu has something for everyone! I was just very happy that I found a place that I could enjoy.

I got the chicken parmigiana, but on the fettuccine I got Alfredo sauce. All of the food was excellent! The best we have had. The only reason for the 4 stars is all of our empty cups & plates remained on our table until after we left. We even ordered another order of garlic bread to take home after we were done eating, & the dishes remained on the table. I didn't take any pictures since we got the same food I've posted pictures of before.

I recently visited late night after some drinks with my friends and were welcomed by the amazing scent of pizza. The slices are about the size of a Costco slice but way better quality. The pricing is a bit steep, but well suited for the quality and flavor of each slice. If you take a whole pizza to go you'll be surprised by how large of a pie it is! Also - their wings are amazing!

You can also get a whole pie of your choice. They grate fresh parm on all the slices which I thought was a nice touch. The girl at the register seemed very knowledgeable about all the pizzas and gave us lots of details and recommendations which we appreciated. First we got the green, di Parma, and the Phoenix. The green has pistachios and fresh arugula on it, I thought the overall flavor was too sweet and the pistachios weren't crush enough. The Phoenix was good, very honey forward and overall the flavor didn't stick out to me. The di Parma was a cheese pizza with procuttio and ricotta, overall a little plain to me. I think they all would've tasted better hot, but I understand that's not super realistic for a slice shop. For our second order we got the vodka sauce slice, which was for sure my favorite. First of all it was piping hot, and that elevated the whole experience. I thought the sauce was so flavorful and savory, and the basil made a perfect bite. I would go back for a whole pie of this! I really liked the prices here, we got dinner for less than $25 for 2. I wouldn't mind coming back to try some other slices and get a pie of the vodka!

We finished a long evening of shopping & I just wanted to grab a nice pizza plus a couple of those addicting chocolate chip cookies... OMG!!! I called in my order, caught them right before closing & ordered the Uncle Louie plus a couple of the cookies! I got there 10 minutes before closing, pulled up as they were putting our pizza in the box, opened the box & of course had zero complaints! The Uncle Louie was a new choice for us, the pie was nice & thin the way that we like it... not all that heavy dough that makes you feel bloated after you eat one slice! The quality of products that Crust uses really makes a difference, this pizza is 20" & they put the big deli sliced pepperoni on the pizza plus they put sliced sausage not ground! Personally I'm a basil lover therefore I'd request extra basil next time, other than that the pizza was delish as we expected! So there you have it, now we know that whether we're north Phoenix or south it's confirmed that both Crust locations are consistent with each other which is nice to know! Oh & yes those cookies were very delish as always, have to eat half so I can always save the other half for the next day... they're that good!

I stopped in at this location because I was seeing a movie right after. I ordered the Spicy Knots and Happy Hour Buffalo Wings (extra crispy), and both were absolute winners. The Spicy Knots were perfectly baked--soft on the inside with a deliciously crisp bite on the outside--and packed just the right amount of heat. Paired with their dipping sauce, they were impossible to resist! The Buffalo Wings were equally impressive. Extra crispy, just as I had asked, with that classic tangy, spicy kick that makes buffalo wings so addictive. They nailed the texture and flavor, making them one of the best wing options around. Our server, Giana, was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right throughout our meal. The relaxed atmosphere, combined with great food and service, made for an awesome experience.

After 30 years of dreaming about this moment, I'm finally here at Pizzeria Bianco. Many of us…read moreremember the mid-1990s when reports were coming out of Phoenix that some new pizzeria might just serve the best pizza in the United States! What? So far from New York? How is this possible? And the reports kept coming. Bronx native Chris Bianco had done the impossible, expanding authentic pizzas beyond the Mississippi River. The accolades and awards were endless, the critics raved, and even documentaries were produced. So we all started putting this place on our bucket list. I finally made the pilgrimage in 2026 to this mecca, this icon, this uber-famous destination. And it was worth the hype! The most beautiful red sauce complements the perfectly stretchy fresh mozzarella. Since I opted for the Sonny Boy, I was treated to high quality slices of salami and whole olives.The crust is thin, charred in various spots, slightly crispy on the bottom but still properly chewy. It is a thing to behold, ranking right up there with the best pizzas I've had in Italy and the states! I wish the olives were halved and not whole so they wouldn't roll off my pizza. But I didn't care. I even violated my germaphobic code for the first time in decades and snatched an olive off the table, it was that good! Because of its location inside Heritage and Science Park, there is a mandatory $10 parking charge for valeting plus a recommended tip. There is no validating inside the restaurant. But the surprise surcharge was also worth it!
