The name of this business doesn't even scratch the surface of the quality and freshness of the food! The selection, presentation, and owner Victor is creme de la creme! I am a former Marine (semper fi) from the Vietnam Era and an Italian, and this is the very first place that matches my Mother's food! And I'm not kidding. If Metro Pizza was a Marine, it would get the congressional metal of honor! After reading this review, it would be a sin and an injustice if you did not try this establishment. Make this the top on your "bucket list!" Danny and Theresa (phoenix) read more

Food was above average, but place is very small. I'd eat here again, but its not a great place to hang out with your friends. I liked the special way they served my pizza on a wood tray. That added something to make it different from the rest. The service was average and I would probably go back again sometime. read more

Wow! Another lesson of not judging a book by its cover. This place is very small, only 2- 4 tops & about 3 - 2 tops. We stopped in around 5pm & there was another couple in there, they could tell it was our first time so they were raving about all their favorite items. Our server came by & started us out with water & some bread. Their prices were really affordable, the server explained that the smallest size of pizza can actually feed 2 people ($8!) we decided to split a Margherita pizza so we could save room for their Tiramisu. Our server & the couple dining in told us that everything is made from scratch. Our pizza came out & it was fabulous! So flavorful & had the perfect amount of crunch & doughy goodness in each bite. Tiramisu was so fresh & delicious. Our total came out to $15! We can't wait to come back & try some of their pasta dishes soon. Thank you fellow Yelpers for leading us here!! read more

Yup it's me again.....the person without the picture whos' opinion you might not be abale to trust but I will give my opinion anyway....after reading all the rave reviews on... Pizza Pizza Yelp about it.....I had to give Pizza Metro a try.....it was absolutely wonderful...who knew...certainly not me. We made a reservation although on a Tuesday not needed but we were told that it is a good idea for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We took our own wine (only a $5.00 corking fee).....The owner and his manager Michael were VERY friendly and went out of their way to make sure that we were taken care. They brought us a plate of flat bread with a mix of capers, onions, eggplant that was very yummy (sorry to you pleople that it tasted like tap water...I have to disagree).....we then shared a ceasar salad again more than enough for two....we had such a hard time deciding on entrees that we wound up splitting the lasagna and a meatball pizza (not really meatballs but rather homemade sausage)....all of it was out of this world and the lasagna was probably the best I have ever had....the pizza was wood fired with the perfect amount of topping....all homemade. All in all a great dinner leaving us comfortable full but not miserable....it will become one of our haunts and we are looking forward to trying their new restaurant "Amarone" which we have been told will have a full bar and a larger establishment and a little more upscale.....Thanks to all who wrote their reviews and made us curious enough to give it a try... P.S.....TOTAL BILL ONLY $32.00...and they are working on their liquor license which they hope to have in a few weeks read more

Suck it, Pizzeria Bianco. There's a new joint in town and you don't stand a chance. A friend pestered us to visit this hidden gem and I have yet to figure out how to thank him. The pizza is a must-have--it equals pies I've eaten in Rome and Torino--but the rest of the menu is impressive as well. One our first visit, the specials were seafood based and we tried 'em both. A sole with with artichokes, capers, and a white wine sauce was perfectly cooked, and the scampi-like shrimp was darn near as good. Others have applauded the complimentary appetizers so I'll simply agree and move on; the pizza Margherita was the star of my meal. A thin crispy/chewy crust covered with crushed tomatoes, dotted with cheese and sprinkled with fresh basil was a gustatory Italian vacation. Oh, and order dessert even if you have to have it surgically implanted. The atmosphere belies the dodgy location. The decor is both upscale (granite tables, tile floors) and mundane (a flat screen tv hovers overhead, tuned to an Italian satellite station). Yes, I wouldn't walk home from here after dark, but parking is close and well-lighted, and the squeamish can use the freeway to be safely back in their suburbs in minutes. read more

This place is such a great find and so close to my house I can take side streets all the way home:). I love that it is BYOB... Michael and I brought a bottle of wine with us and proceeded to have one the of the best dinners I have had in a long time. We started out with the Calamari Friti which was so tasty! I cannot bring myself to eat the little octopi but Michael has no issues with that and gobbled those little guys up:). I stick to the fried little rings and I am fine. Then we shared the meatball pizza... I was kind of hesitant because I thought it might be whole meatballs on a pizza but it was not and I am still dreaming of this pizza the flavors and the crust were amazing. I cannot wait to come back and try the pasta dishes and the calzones. We ended our dinner with the Tira Misu... I think the moment our waitress set the desert down it was gone in 5 minutes. This was such a great dinner and the price cannot be beat... including the $5.00 corking fee the bill totaled $35.00. Not Bad!! read more

I will never wait in line at Biancos again unless it is just for the appetizers. This is really good pizza and worth cramming into the little restaurant. They make the biggest pizza I have ever seen and if you have a small car it probably won't fit for take-out so be prepared to strap it to the roof or something. read more

I'm not quite sure what all the hype is all about. Sure, they offer fresh and authentic Italian food, but they are also in a ghetto, run-down area and the prices are not competitive for the overall value ($8 for a small sandwich and salad). The service was surprisingly good, and the bread was superb, but the cons will prevent me from coming back. read more

Great brick oven pizza. The vegetarian was the best I've ever had. Not filled with green peppers and onions like all the others. This pizza was filled with, eggplant, artichokes,zucchini, mushrooms, olives, and roasted peppers. Yum! Eat in or take home, I took mine home. read more

Yum! I would agree with the other reviews that mention that the looks of the location can be deceiving. Next to the circle K it looks like nothing special but the pizza was excellent. Thin crust, wood fired, doesn't get much better. Really enjoyed it while staying in Midtown on vacation. read more

pizza was the bomb had that big 39'' long bad boy 1/2 pep 1/2 mush&sausage we will be back highly recommend trying great crust fire bake awesomeness read more

Just had their chicken special today -- chicken caprese. It was served RAW. I had one bite and took a look and almost fainted. They made me a new one, however, I didn't have the stomach to eat. Still charged me $15.95 for the raw chicken dish. They did throw in a free dessert to go which I did not want. Hope I pull thru. Won't be back that is for sure. read more

Very good food! Everything we ordered was delicious. This is a small family Resturaunt but don't be fooled by its size... These guys are doing a great job! Try it you will be very impressed! read more

The original owners from sorrento Italy do not own the place now. The prices and new menu may be cheaper, but the quality of their food has deteriorated, along with the service. The blonde server is the owners daughter and had to ask the cook in the back what beef carpacio is. It used to be on their menu. The garlic in the bolognase was too strong. The caprese had mozzarella that could have been bought at your local grocery store. It was not fresh, nor were the tomatoes. The new owners might have the recipes, but lack the basic knowledge of Italian cuisine and customer service. They are coasting on the reviews from the past owners. read more

Love this place! Its in a shitty strip mall but reminds me of NJ and some of the great Italian fare found there. Try the vodka penne! Its been 3 or 4 years, nice to see much is the same. read more

Went here for lunch and ordered gnocchi with ala vodka sauce. The portion is too big for one person and it would make sense to maybe split an appetizer and the dish. Alternatively, you can take the leftovers home :-) The dish was tasty and I was able to ask for fresh black pepper to add some additional flavor. Gotta have my fresh black pepper! FYI, it would be tough to seat 8 people at this location. The place is small, but the food is grand. Apparently there is a Gilbert location that is bigger. Can't wait to try out that location as well as another entrée. read more

This place really cracked me up with all the juxtapositions it had. First of all, this has to be the tiniest sit down restaurant I've ever been to. It was almost as if we were eating in a phone booth. That being said, it wasn't uncomfortable at all; just funny when you looked around and realized how small it was. Also, inspite of it's tininess, the furnishings and how it was decorated was really nice, like to the point where it was noticeable, and I really liked that. Also the food was absolutely amazing from the bread they brought out, to the pizza I had, to the calzone my friend had. They really really REALLY knew their way around an Italian kitchen. Which is funny to me because, not to be racist at all by any means, but there seemed to be only people who are Hispanic working there, which you don't usually expect to see, but even if they were Italian, they still exceeded my expectations of authentic cuisine and dining experience so I give them a lot of credit for being able to do that. And when I speak of authenticity, my minor in college was in Italian and based on that, I can vouch for them being more than competent in that dept. And for as great as the food was, the prices were totally fair too and that is probably the best $12 pizza you will find in the Phoenix area. It's definitely a hole in the wall type joint and the area it's in is nothing glamorous. The customers even seemed kinda rough looking and not the kind of people you would expect to see in a nice place like that (but otherwise very nice and cool people), but add all of that to the pile of juxtapositions to this place that have really caused me to like it all the more because of that and give it a well deserved 5 stars. Also our server was incredibly nice too. The only knock I would give it is that to get to the bathroom you have to go to the back in sort of the kitchen area, but there's not much they can really do about it since the place is so tiny and there's literally no other place they can put one. It is a nice bathroom though fwiw. read more

X-mas eve '09. Many places were closed or stupidly crowded.I ventured into Pizza A Metro on Thomas w/my hungry date & had the best dinner experience the valley could offer.Every dish from apps to desert were delicious. Service was great.You dick-heads that were tortured in some foo-foo joint should be ashamed.Try anything on this menu ASAP.---PS Don't let the exterior fool you. KC read more

Pizza A Metro is tha BOMB!!.... to start with this is in a bad area(block). It's hiding in a tiny strip mall with a Circle K in it. This is a bit pricey considering where it's located but not over priced for the food quality. This has a very small piece of Italy inside the doors and great customer service. I ordered the vodka penne and it was GREAT!! I love beacon... (who doesn't??) and cheese!! My guest ordered veal cav???otti... something like that... and it was also awesome. Bread kept coming and our drinks stayed full. I left thinking it was really great food and a very pleasant experience. I did see a HUGE pizza being made while I was eating and next time I really want to try one of those. (Would be awesome for a bear get together)!! I will be eating here again and look forward to that HUGE pizza. The only reason I gave this a 4 star instead of a 5 star was due to location. I have to admit though that I do love to find these out of the way places with superb food and surprise people from out of town. To see the look on their faces..... (PRICELESS)!!! read more

I'm a little late in writing this, but wife & I went there for Valentines Day. Tiny, but great food, wine, & private conversation. Will be back soon. read more

first of all, thank you yelp!! i never would have known this restaurant existed had i not seen all the positive reviews. i've been here a few times and i always order the vegetarian pizza with a side salad. i will say it's not the best for reheating, but take a few friends along, split the pizza and enjoy! read more

We were in Phoenix looking for a good pizza "joint" and choose this place on recommedation of other yelpers! We arrived at about 9:30 on a friday night and our party of 4 was able to snag the only open table. The place is small with 7-8 tables and next t o a Circle K so it is not much to look at! We ordered and mozzarella & tomato app which was perfectly fine good cheese, ripe tomatos. They offer three sizes of pizzas, small, medium and HUGE (39 inches in diameter) . They were "Sold Out" of the medium size so were were forced to pay much more by ordering two smalls to split instead. We were told they make all the dough crusts in the morning so once a size sells out that is it for the day! We ordered a plain cheese and a sausage and broccoli. The pizza arrived hot and crispy to prefection! The tomato sauce was very tasty. Three of us agreed that the mozzarella, while very tasty and good quality, did not seem to fit as pizza cheese. We were sure it was the same cheese used in the appetizer and seemed better suited fo that kind of nosh. On the pizza it seemed to almost turn waxy! But still it was tasty! The sausage was very good and off high quality. Overall worth a trip here! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in the Valley. I've had a good number of items on the menu and still can't pick a favorite dish. The service is great and the prices are ridiculously reasonable! read more

Truely A hidden gem in the city!! Must go to. Small but defiantly worth the wait if you have to. Food is Awesome and staff is great. I moved away from Phx for a year and when I came back to visit, Pizza A Metro is the first place to visit. read more

Hole in the wall with class! If you didn't know it was there, you would drive right past it. Ordered a pizza from the brick oven, and it was great! I highly recommend this place. read more

I have been here many times. Love the pizza, love the pasta, love the atmosphere, love it! The owner is very friendly and greats everyone who comes in. All the pasta is rolled by hand, this is something you do not always find at Italian restaurants. This is a difference in taste and texture between handmade pasta and prepackaged. Tiramisu is to-die-for. The only downside is that you might have to wait for awhile because there is limited seating. read more

This hidden treasure is worth the trip. We stopped on a whim after a search on google and were pleasantly surprised with the overall quality and service. This definitely will be a must whenever we are in town. read more

A friend of my husband's gave him a gift card to this place and told him they had great food. We decided to give it a try. There were four in our party and we were lucky to get a table since it is a very, very small restaurant. Items ordered between the party of four: Italian wedding soup, eggplant parm, pasta with bolognese sauce, house salad and pizza with sausage, onion and basil. The pizza barely had any onions on it. Very little sauce and cheese. I didn't try the eggplant parm, pasta or italian wedding soup but other party members stated the food was average. One of the reasons I'm giving it only one star is due to very poor customer service The waiter could barely speak english then when we presented our gift card the owner came out an told us he would not accept the gift card. He stated the gift cards were purchased when someone else owned the restaurant and he was not obligated to honor it. There was no way we would know this as the gift card we were given had the same restaurant logo as is currently in use. My husband's friend would have no way of knowing this restaurant was sold or when it was sold. This place is in a bad neighborhood too. I didn't feel too safe around there. read more

The pizza was delicious. They saved Christmas Eve. If you don't live near them, they are worth taking a trip to.

Sooooo good! I asked for a side of marinara sauce to dip my pizza crust in. It made great pizza amazing pizza! Don't go with a large group, the restaurant is so tiny inside. read more

Good salad, good soup, great pizza, crust was perfect, service very pleasant...I will be back.

What a great Pizza joint! Will be coming back for sure. Great service and my pie was amazing!!!!

This place is AMAZING! Hidden gem that you will not regret stopping in. The food quality is so authentic, real ingredients, made by real people! The service is always on point, and the crew here has been in place for years. A true family feel where they take pride in their craft. Only a few tables in the restaurant adds to the charm of and amazing intimacy. Closest thing to being in a friends kitchen! read more

I've heard of this place for years when I was going to culinary school down the street. Everyone raved about the pizza I had a small pizza today big enough for two people and some great bread bites great place to have lunch read more

Wonderful food! Don't be deceived by the outside. This is on the end of a mini mart-Circle K. It is one of those holes in the wall locations, but WOW is not a big enough word to describe it. Went in for the pizza and ended up with a seafood pasta dinner that was delicious. It was served in the pan it was cooked in on really nice plates. We were served an appetizer of bread with chopped tomato & onions in vinegar & oil. We were greeted by the owner himself. It is really small inside, so seating is limited. There were a lot of take outs for pizza, and they have this really long pizza that is one of their specials. Can't wait to go back for the wood burning oven pizza! read more

what a great experience. The mussels with garlic sauce and the fried calamaris are simply fantastic. I was born in a coastal city in Brazil so I understand about sea food and I can assure you this was the best mussels I had since I moved to the USA 6 years ago. The pizza was also very good and the service was also good. Will definitely go back. read more

We had a wonderful experience at this establishment. The pizza was very tasty, and the portion size was generous. Great service from Diana, and the outside dining was a plus. read more

Had a wonderfully light salad with wedding soup that was delicious. The pizza crust was just right.... Service and atmosphere was very nice for a great lunch out read more
