What a nice a little pizza spot! The price of $4.50 is a little steep for a single slice, and $1 more per topping. however, the pizza was wonderfully balanced. I loved how crispy the crust was. The sauce was rich, but not overpowering. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere had a warm, family, welcoming feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff were very friendly and professional. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely want to try their sausage pizza and some desserts! 3*** = Just Okay 4**** = Set themselves a part with quality food and I want to go back. 5*****= You have to go out of your way and make a special trip to try the deliciousness that is there!

On our last night in Phoenix, we decided to stay in and order pizza. My sister and her husband recommended Pino's, so we went with that. We got two pizzas: the Bianca and a classic pepperoni. The crust was thin with a nice crisp on the bottom and around the edges, which I really liked. The Bianca is a white pizza, so no tomato sauce. It came with garlic, tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and extra virgin olive oil. It was so flavorful and fresh. I'm usually not a big fan of pepperoni, but I tried a slice and ended up loving it too. For dessert, we had to try the cannolis since everyone kept saying how good they were. They were amazing. The shell was crispy, the filling was creamy and not too sweet. Definitely worth getting. Everything arrived warm and fresh, which made the night even better. It was the perfect way to end our trip

Lunch special butter wine cream pasta. Amazing!!!

Stopped by Pino's for lunch with a friend. I had never been here before and the parking lot was small but we were early so it didn't matter. As we walked in, the staff was friendly and greeted us. We ordered a couple slices of pizza and sat down. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is good sized with lots of tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We didn't have to wait long and our slices. I was amazed at how big the slices were, they are huge! The pizza was good and had lots of pepperoni on them. My friend said he's had the calzones before and they're really good too. I will definitely be back to try other things.

Best mom and pop Italian Restaurant in the valley. The portions of food are just like you see here, LARGE! Service is quick considering they make it fresh. [[HIGHLIGHT]]General ambiance is Italian, nothing fancy, but straight forward.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I am a fan for life!

Stopped by here for lunch, a nice little place. I ordered for the pasta Alfredo chicken, the pasta was quite creamy and a large portion as well. My friend tried the pepperoni pizza, as you can see it's a large slice. But what was the best thing we had was the tiramisu, it was really tasty and felt authentic and again it was a pretty large portion as well. The service was quite fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place wasn't really that crowded during lunch on a weekday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I noticed a lot of people doing take out as well.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]First of all, I found it strange that the restaurant was a sit-down establishment and they still had a counter for ordering.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Second, when my food arrived, the chicken Parmesan was overcooked and dried. I wouldn't recommend the chicken Parmesan sandwich because the chicken Parmesan itself looked like a complete mess, as if it didn't have enough sauce.

The pizza was fire. If you are trying to get down and dirty on some pie this is the place. Crunchy thin crust great sauce and just the amount of grease. Perfect football Sunday pizza. Cesar salad was great as well. Service was friendly.

Mimmo B.

The pizza was beyond delicious. The crust was so flavorful. I had the prosciutto rucola, such a great combo of flavor! Arugula, parmesan, and prosciutto. That pizza will never fade from my go-to list of happy memories!

Spinach and ricotta calzone. This thing is HUGE!

A friend wanted to take me to lunch for my birthday so I was checking what was near my office. I hadn't yet been to Pino's but pizza sounded good so we decided to go there. After looking over the menu, we both decided calzones sounded good. Spinach and cheese is my favorite so that's what I decided on, and my friend asked for chicken and mushrooms in hers. (They have a good selection of toppings to choose from.). [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the outside, it looks like a little hole in the wall. There is a good sized seating area inside. It's fairly simple, but clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. You order at the counter, they give you a number and you can grab a table and wait for them to call your number. The calzones are HUGE! You could probably feed a family of 4. We both had plenty left to take home. The cook was perfect! It's not always easy to get them cooked all the way thru, but this was completely cooked. And very tasty. The spinach and cheese does not have sauce inside which was fine with me. I've had them other places where the tomato sauce inside completely dilutes the flavor of the spinach and cheese. But every calzone comes with a cup of marinara. It looks like they also sell individual pizza slices which is always great for a quick lunch, so I'm sure I'll be stopping into Pino's again. It's right near my office, so they may see me fairly regularly.

First time at Pino's Pizza in Central Phoenix. Early weekend lunch with family and friend. Tried the Cheese and Four Cheese pizzas. The Four Cheese had Gorgonzola cheese which is like a bleu cheese with a pungent acquired taste. The Cheese Pizza was exceptional. I'll be back to try some additional menu items.

When pizza is made fresh daily... you can taste it. Pino's Pizza Al Centro has been serving Phoenix since 1995, and they're doing it the right way, fresh mozzarella grated daily, dough and signature red sauce made in-house, and Italian sausage crafted from a family recipe. Everything is made fresh, by hand, to order... and it shows. I've tried their lunch specials, pizza by the slice, and the calzone and everything has been delicious. Classic, simple, and done right. Definitely a go-to lunch spot. read more

We were scouring the area for some good pizza. Found Pino's had a good score and some favorable reviews. Found it to be relatively close to our hotel so we gave it a shot. You guys it was so good. I'm not going to say we are pizza concierge. However, we do like our pizza. While reading the reviews and photos. My eyes caught a photo of the spaghetti and meatballs. Then we walked in and two patrons already sitting in the restaurant had the spaghetti and meatballs. You know I had to get it. Photos included for your enjoyment. Your welcome. Staff was friendly, [[HIGHLIGHT]]atmosphere was like being in little Italy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food was delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We even had to gentlemen speaking Italian in the background.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Come to find out it was the owner of the establishment. His name Pino (Joseph) a super gracious host told this story how long is establishment had been there, explained to us how he enjoyed hiring college kids and how he looks forward to his business growing. We look forward to returning to the area and bringing our business to Pino. Great people, great food, and great atmosphere. read more

Last night in phx. Was recommended by family. We got a sandwich, calzone, and a cannoli. Family enjoyed the sandwich and still had pretty much a whole meal of leftovers, my calzone was amazing (best I have had in years), the cannoli though hood was a little bit of a rip off. We ordered the "small" cannoli thinking it would be maybe an average size cannoli or a few small ones. It was just one small one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We did go right at 4pm to beat the dinner rush and it was dead.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall it is good food but the prices can be a little steep. read more

There really is a Pino and he's there making sure the food meets up to his standards. I went with a friend who's been going there for over 20 years and can tell you Pino's life story. Me, I just met him and having worked in a pizza place most of my youth and making my own pizza now for several years (out of necessity in Arizona) we had a lot to talk about. The cheese he uses is the best. He uses real Italian flour. I don't but then I do make Chicago Pizza. Pino make's Italian style/New York pizza pie. Not a super thin folding crust but not super thick either. It does have a nice cornicione (edge). His sauce is flavorful and he uses the cupping pepperoni which I love as well on a thin or even pan if you've looked at some of my other reviews. Many don't as it costs more and some find it a bit to spicy. The service at lunch was order it at the register and pick it up in a few minutes. Works for me. Also as you can see in my picture I had an Italian cheese steak. Not a Philly but tasted pretty good all the same. If you're not feeling like pizza it's a good alternative. Or do what I did and get both. What is not pictured is the cannoli. I got the small size. Hard not to like cannoli. Not fancy but tasty. The ambiance. I'm not sure he's updated the decor since he opened decades ago but it doesn't matter. The place is clean and the food is good. And the lack of an updated interior is reflected in the pricing. The prices are reasonable. I go out for the food. Not the tablecloths. read more

I would not say they are bad so much as they are not providing an experience that enough people want. I ordered a simple cheese and ricotta calzone and I'm not sure if they made my order wrong or decided I was better suited with something else off their menu but my calzone was filled with spinach, you would think my order got confused with another item on the menu but the nice young lady who took my order repeated my order back to me twice which made me think there would be no confusion. Even if they didn't prepare my order wrong I felt the crust and ricotta were wildly lacking in flavor and not very good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I picked up my order on a Saturday at 7ish which should be a busy time but the place was a ghost town.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm sure they do other stuff that's good but it's definitely not there calzones. I hope they can pivot their business and be more successful. Idk what else to say as my night out where I splurge on myself was ruined by a mediocre meal. ‍ read more

At Pino, we feel like eating at a Sicilian's mom kitchen...homemade meals. Food is delicious and ambiance is homey. Pino (owner) is super friendly and great guests with conversations and sharing his views on food and journey to make incredible tasting food. It is a personal experience when we dine here. There is no such thing as "not to order" dishes on the menu -- all dish is delicious and legit ! You just have to know what you like or feel like for this dining experience. It is not about fancy dining but it is all about good feeling dining either with your friends, loved ones, or just yourself. Friendly staff and owner & the intimate dining setting, and good food will give this place a five red stars. Go ahead & treat yourself. Happy dining read more

Our server named Lisa came over to introduce herself - she couldn't have been nicer or more professional! We were waiting for my cousin also named Lisa - lol! We started with a manhattan & limoncello spritz. Yummy! We ordered 2 meatball pasta dishes & 10 layer lasagna. Very good and they will be happy enjoyed as leftovers since their portions are sizable. We shared a delicious bottle of super Tuscan wine. Dessert was the cannoli experience- wow, you need to get it! We were never rushed which is a sign of a good establishment. Thank you, Lisa for your excellent service!!

This restaurant was recommended by friends so I tried it for lunch. I had been told that it was a…read morevery popular Italian eatery so I was surprised to find it almost empty for my visit. It has a large and nice outside patio area along with an attractive interior. I ordered the 3 meat Fazzoletti meal for $29. I asked the waiter if it came with any bread and he said he would take care of that for me. He also asked if I wanted some olive oil and vinegar for dipping and I said sure. The meal arrived within 15 minutes with a plate of several toasted bread slices and a plate of oil and vinegar. The ragu meat was covered in a white cream sauce of mozzarella, ricotta and Parmesan. I stated with the cream sauce and was surprised to find it was at room temperature! I called over the waiter and he took it back and a new plate of that entree arrived in about 5 more minutes with an apology from the kitchen. While waiting I enjoyed the bread, oil and vinegar but wondered why did they bring me so much bread? The Fazzoletti was now hot and tasted very good. I enjoyed it with its rich flavor and made with quality ingredients. I can see why The Sicilian Butcher is popular here in Phoenix. When the bill arrived I noticed a $4 charge for the bread and another $1 for the oil and vinegar. I paid it but told the waiter that he should have told me that it would cost extra. Minus 1 star.

I visited the restaurant for the first time on Mother's Day with my mom and we had the loveliest time. The service was excellent, the ambiance was so nice with acoustic live music that created the best vibe. We loved the food too, we ordered the Italian chopped salad and it was great along with plenty of delicious freshly baked bread. For dinner, we ordered the Butternut Squash Sacchetti pasta with frangelico cream sauce and almond dust, and it was delicious.

It absolutely pains me to have to do this but it's been bothering me for a while and I cannot just…read morelet it slide. I've been coming here religiously for 4.5 years since moving to AZ. My two favorite dishes that never miss are the Lasagna and the Chicken Parm. Like clockwork, it has always been impeccable. Sadly my most recent experience will likely be my last experience. I ordered the Chicken Parm and when it came out there was something missing from my plate. Instead of the usual Rigatoni Pasta with Vodka Sauce there were a couple of stale chunks of potatoes and some sorry looking asparagus spears. I asked the bartender where is the pasta. She responded that it no longer comes with pasta and that I could order some at an additional charge. It was at that moment that I knew I would never return again. Never in my entire life have I ever ordered Chicken Parm at an Italian Restaurant and not have it come with pasta. That is like ordering a hamburger and it doesn't come with a bun. Then they tell you that you are more than welcome to order a bun at an additional cost. It was like the ultimate slap in the face. I understand that businesses are under financial pressure in these tough times. I can assure you though that this restaurant does not suffer from this fate. There is simply zero excuse for this type of behavior from ownership. Their meals are already priced near the top of the market here in Scottsdale, and rightfully so as their food is top tier. But to raise prices and then remove a staple item off of the menu is asinine. Again, I really do not like writing negative reviews for businesses because I am a fellow business owner as well. However the consumer in me cannot stand for this type of treachery. I am sick and tired of paying more and getting less. This is not meant to deter others from experiencing this place. It is meant to let management that loyal customers are dissatisfied with their business practices. Finally, I am not a cheapskate either. I always tip at least 30% which is way above the average. I am not tone-deaf, I sympathize with restaurant staff and wage gaps so every little bit helps in the service industry.

Amazing, unique experience!…read more I arrived with the preconceived ideas about being jostled in long lines in a poorly cooled pizza joint, sitting in a crowded restaurant at plastic tables eating plastic food. That misconception disappeared immediately upon stepping through the doorway. Warm, inviting ambiance, full of character. Attending the birthday celebration for an esteemed young man, our table wasn't ready (we were early) and the hostess offered us seats at the bar while awaiting our party. We each had a wine spritzer... may I say that the very few such concoctions I've had bearing that name didn't do justice to what we were served. I've never had anything like this, a "Sgroppino" (I'm partial to strawberry!) and it was perhaps the best adult beverage I've had in a very long time. Many different nuances in a glass. Stunning subtle, many diverse flavors. Mmm. Our bartender was an artist of the mixed adult beverage, a delightful individual with a warm, genuine smile and an encyclopedic knowledge of how to do his job expertly. Rare that you meet someone like this who isn't all measuring cups and shot glasses: everything he concocted was done by eye, and judging by what he made for us, his expertise was immediately apparent. Ben fatto. È andata benissimo, brava. When we'd all arrived, we were escorted to the "garden shed"... a smaller out-building filled with racks of wine, perhaps an ideal place for small wedding receptions or engagement parties. Well-cooled despite our broiling Phoenix evening. We had the garlic bread; someone ordered IL Tagliere, Calamari (no, thank you), and a basket of bread. You know how you go to a hamburger joint and what you're served looks nothing like the photos of their menu? Go to CiBO's web site and look at their menu: What you see in their photos is what you get. One visit and next time you look at their menu online, you'll salivate. Yes, the food is that good. I ordered the calzone. Delicious. Getting through it wasn't pretty... but it was excellent. Huge, very generous entree. Excellent flavors. Our server was delightful, attentive without being a nuisance. Our water glasses never reached empty, and the stories about the birthday boy (and others) were never interrupted. We never made it to desserts. Too much food and amusing stories. CiBO: È andata benissimo, brava.

We were also so grateful that they were able to put certain items of the dish on the side depended upon our preferences.

The food here is always so amazing especially if you're a gluten-free girl the gluten-free noodles pair very well with the pastas in my opinion. Lastly, right now they have a banana butter cake and that is probably the best thing on their dessert menu! So tasty, just the right amount of banana and crispy on the outside!

An extra treat was that they have bottles of spicy oil on the tables, so I was able to enjoy the crusts by slathering them with the tasty oil as though they were breadsticks. On the way out, after mentioning to the bartender how good the oil was, I was gifted a couple of condiment cuplets to-go, which was a thoughtful and nice touch and sort of made up for the server who wasn't particularly warm or informative as I had to ask about the specials and whether or not all the pasta is freshly made, etc. Heck, if you have a great selling point like homemade pasta, talk it up and get us to drooling! There is a variety of seating available, including outside and at the bar--bar has an inside section as well as outside which is a nice design for the lovely weather days. However, it's unfortunate that the outdoor seating is on such a busy traffic corner, so it's not the little retreat it would otherwise be. The lunchtime music was more like happy hour music, not conducive to conversation--maybe for the cellphones-at-the -table crowd it's okay, but being near the Phoenix Art Museum and Arizona Opera, why not add to the cultural experience of the area by celebrating its Italian origins with some Italian music? Even if just added as interludes during every few pieces, it would enhance the ambiance. We had to raise our voices to carry on our conversation, but it was manageable. However, when I came back the next week with a friend with a hearing impairment, it became more problematic. She tried adjusting her hearing aids, but the thumping rhythm kept taking precedence as we tried to find a quieter corner, but it wasn't possible as it is a small space and speakers were close to each table. I felt so bad that she couldn't enjoy a meal there--we both were so looking forward to having a fresh pasta dish, but just couldn't stay. Upon leaving, I felt I should let management know why so I waited to speak to him, offering constructive criticism about the sound level but he was not the least apologetic nor said he would take it under advisement, but was completely dismissive and harrumphy as though we were annoying problems and not potential regulars with suggestions worthy of consideration. How hard would it be to have a quieter area or make a speaker accessible with volume control? People, whether on the spectrum, with hearing impairments, or just lovers of good conversation deserve respect and when it is not given, will go elsewhere....

I have dined here on four separate occasions and take all my dear loved ones here, every single time leaving feeling happy with a full, satisfied belly. Lom Wong is the first name that pops up in my head when recommending a favorite restaurant in the Valley. Lom Wong is what I will be naming my first-born child. My first visit was back in 2023 on June 10, the day my life changed for the better. They have a creative menu with seasonal changes that no other Thai restaurant can do. If you're looking for a pad thai, look somewhere else and please expand your horizons. I have tried almost every dish here and two things I will always order is their green mango salad and crab curry. I prefer mango over papaya, and it is the most perfect, refreshing salad I have ever had. The mango is always fresh, and the toasted coconut and peanuts on top pair so well with the lime and fish sauce. The stir-fried crab curry is extremely impressive with their generous portion of crab meat and fragrant turmeric curry. A few other dishes I highly recommend are their beef shank curry, seabass curry, and the stir-fried Tom Yum wide noodles. You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes here! I will be coming back to try the fried whole branzino. We've tried arai kodai, which is their chef's choice option and they personalize the meal for you based on your preferences and group size. Every dish they brought out was unique and so so good. For $55 per person, we thought this was great value considering how full we got and the variety of dishes we were able to try (including some that were off-menu). I also love that they promote eating family-style here and bring out all the dishes as they're ready - exactly how food is meant to be enjoyed. The ambiance is amazing for a special occasion or date night. It will for sure impress. Come here if you want a solid, just incredible meal from amazing people who are passionate about their food! Be sure to make a reservation in advance as it gets packed.

I really want to believe it was a fluke. Rushing to get food out quickly to mimic Thai street food is not desirable when quality is sacrificed and the customer is paying almost $40 for a plate.. I will say the food came out within minutes of ordering. Our server was nice and patient. I needed some extra time to look over the menu and he didn't rush us to order even though he was very busy. The food was so lackluster and it pains me to say that about a Thai restaurant. Every dish was just missing something, whether it was some spicy or citrus. Every dish was very one dimensional. The Boo Pad Pong Garee, or stir fried crab curry, was dry and underwhelming. It was missing spice for me. There were huge chunks of crab though. The Naem Khao Tawt, or crispy rice salad, may have been my favorite bite of the night. It had a great balance of textures and flavors. It was refreshing and helped cut through some of the dryness of the crab curry. I loved the cured pork sausage. Tom Yum Haeng Sen Yai, or the stir fried flat rice noodles with squid, wasn't terrible. I love flat rice noodles and they had the distinct char that you would get from wok cooking. Loved that. The flavors overall weren't bad. Just again, underwhelming and lacked a good balance of flavors. I would have liked more spice, citrus, and umami. We did not care for the creme brûlée duo. The hibiscus one was soooooo intensely sour that it was almost inedible. It was very bright though. The lemongrass one reminded me too much of a savory lemongrass soup that I couldn't enjoy it. Some of the spiel and verbiage that the team had was a little pretentious and awkward. I saw them "kindly" kicking out a table for sitting past their reservation time. I've never ever seen a restaurant do that before. Really not that bad but really not worth the $20-$40 price tags either. I'm open to coming back and trying other dishes. I really think I may have came on a bad night.

I was referred to this place by a friendly diner at True. She told me this was a delicious pizza. I'll tell you what sticks out in my mind: the owners are the ANGRIEST restaurant owners I think I've ever encountered. Angry at customers, at the world. She is from hell, he's angrier than she is. They close at 8pm so it isn't the hours. But I'll tell you this: the pizza is fine, another $20 large pizza served by ANGRY, ANGRY transplants. I'm never going back so that now leaves me at least 3412 OTHER pizza joints I can go to that aren't angry with the world. read more

The daily specials are amazing, the pizza slice bigger than your head is awesome and the bread...oh the bread...cannot say enough about the bread! I haven't had one single thing that I didn't love. The pasta is delicious. Tastes homemade with so much flavor and Pino is so kind. Ending with dessert makes the night perfect. read more

Best pizza in town! This place uses only the best ingredients and it shows. And it may come as a surprise, but this place has the best salmon I've had in Phoenix! Seared, and in a lemon caper white wine sauce. Amazing. This is really a full Italian menu restaurant and much, much more than just a pizza place. But the pizza is incredible! Better than Pizzeria Bianco in my opinion! read more

Pino's is hands down the best pizza I have found in Phoenix. I am from New Haven, CT and we have famous pizza there, this pizza is the closest I have found. Avoid the hype of those other places here in Phoenix (I won't name them but I have tried them) you will get great NYC Metro area pizza here. No topping required because it is that good! read more

It is the best Italian restaurant! Our family favorite is spaghetti bolognese with meatballs. It is the best! All pizzas and calzones are delicious. Tiramisu is to die for. The staff and the owner are very friendly, and the service is great. I highly recommend. read more

We took advantage of delivery and experienced some really good Italian food. We tried an Italian sandwich and lasagna. Very tasty all around. Delivery was a little slow and food was not hot (luke warm) but all in all we will try the deep dish next time! read more

Pino's only delivers to businesses during the lunch hour. If you don't work for a corporation you are not considered a customer. Pino's lost a customer today! read more

One of the best places in Phoenix. If I have people in town, it's one of the few places I will take them so they have a great experience in town. read more
