    Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza
    Brandon P.

    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. The atmosphere had a warm, family, welcoming feel. 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!

    Pepperoni

    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

    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. The restaurant is good sized with lots of tables. 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. General ambiance is Italian, nothing fancy, but straight forward. 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. The place wasn't really that crowded during lunch on a weekday. I noticed a lot of people doing take out as well.

    First of all, I found it strange that the restaurant was a sit-down establishment and they still had a counter for ordering. 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.

    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!
    Raquel A.

    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.). 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. 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.

    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.

The Vodka pizza had no detectable sauce on it either. It also tasted just like cheese bread. I don't know if its because of different pizza makers or the new standard, but I was disappointed. I was very impressed last visit and even made a statement that the Vodka slice may be my new favorite. I was a little let down this time around!
