Went to dinner for our anniversary, requested $25 hold for a not busy Friday evening. Nothing was said or given for letting you know if was our anniversary. Pizza was the best thing -chicken artichoke pesto, then 2 chicken Alfredo's, one steak w/side of veggies, and chicken pasta w/spinach n peas. Each pasta dish was $24 then adding protein starts at $6, all sides were extra, pasta served w/hard bread. I wasn't too impressed. We ordered 2 alcoholic drinks and 2 sodas. Total bill $240 for 5 adults. Nothing to write home about. Decent but pricey. read more

This spot has so much potential. It's a huge and adorable patio setting with beautiful attention to detail. The food was good, but nothing to write home about. A pretty baseline level of yummy if you will, something that feels like it will always be consistent but never amazing. Our server seemed a bit overwhelmed and on multiple occasions forgot about getting waters - which as someone that's been on that side of the service industry I see not as them failing but as management needing to schedule more people on busy nights! Cute spot, exited to try more and report back! read more

I came here with my wonderful peeps, and we got different orders. My friends loved their pizzas as they thought they were flavorful and had a decent amount of toppings. I ordered the Cabonara Rustico, and it was decent. The bread was a bit hard, so I recommend if they can bake their bread to be softer. However, I liked their Sangria Blanco -: it was yummy. read more

We were in Tucson visiting family, my son had to find a place that is celiac friendly. This place popped up and let me say it's in a beautiful plaza, bet welcoming right when you walk in, lovely areas to dine in or outside! We chose outside because the weather was so beautiful! The waitress was very friendly and helpful, she was very kind about the food needing to be non cross contaminated, and completely celiac friendly she went in the back before we even ordered to let them know. we ordered some cheesy garlic bread, gluten-free, of course and a gluten-free pepperoni pizza with basil, everything was absolutely delicious from the pizza to the bread. The bread was cooked so perfectly so nice and soft on the top yet underneath was nice and toasted flavor was perfect and the pizza was wonderful to be honest with you. I couldn't even tell that it was gluten-free. It tasted amazing! We will definitely be going back there every time we are in Tucson! A must try for sure! read more

First time here and we were not disappointed. They have an amazing patio which would be great to enjoy live music if you planned right. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The meatball appetizer was delicious, would have loved a slice or two of bread with it. Pizza was good but the crust was a bit soggy. Salad was delicious and loaded with all sorts of things. A bigger bowl would have been helpful to stir it all up. Lots more items on the menu for us to try next time. read more

Visited for my first time. Helpful, engaging and fun staff. Hot, fresh pizza right out of the oven. Generous glass of Italian Cab from the Tuscan region. Views of the plaza of St. Phillips square from the bar and all seemed happy to be in the hour. read more

This was beyond disappointing. Our group came by for lunch and the mimosa passport, saw it wasn't busy, and sat down. We immediately ordered mimosas and our food, and after 30 minutes our food was brought out but our mimosas were nowhere to be seen. They were delivered minutes later and we immediately asked for a second round since we didn't want to wait another 30 minutes for them. The bolognese was cold with overcooked noodles, the "Weekend Bowl" was also cold and missing most of the ingredients. Only potatoes and eggs with cheese, and no onions, no peppers, no mushrooms. The second round of mimosas finally came out almost 40 MINUTES LATER. That's when we decided to close out and go somewhere else. Very sad since this used to be a go-to spot for us years ago. read more

Terrific evening all around and we will be back for sure! read more

Cool spot and good food. Is this a dinning group that runs St. Phillips Plaza dining? The pasta and baked goods are made daily so it's super fresh. The service was good, the server was attentive and accommodated special requests. read more

Overpriced for very small pizzas. We had takeout so maybe the restaurant experience is better.

I was excited to try this place based on how busy they seem to get. I am staying in the hotel next door and just wanted a place I could relax at. The ambiance is very nice and the food was fresh and yummy as well. I had the happy hour meatballs and artichoke dip. I ordered a salad to go for dinner and that too was delicious. We need one in a California! read more

Outstanding bread, reminds me of Grand Daisies in NYC. Delicious menu you really can't go wrong, and we've never had bad service. We really enjoy eating outside it's do pretty especially by the fire place! Good wine selection and their house selection is quite good also. read more

Worst service I've experienced in Tucson. On top of that they served my gluten free girlfriend non gluten free bread, after the server said it was gluten free. Went to check with the kitchen after my girlfriend had already taken a bite. Proceeded to not comp the item or anything else off. Absolutely outrageous. Never going back here again. Unbelievably dangerous read more

Decent pizzeria that feels like it's trying to be Neapolitan style, but can't quite get there. Still not bad. What I like: Good variety of pies to choose from. Good cheese, and the pomodoro sauce is outstanding. I'm not a dessert person, but Proof's pastries and cakes are the best part of the meal. Lemon bars are great and the flourless chocolate cake is out of this world! So kudos for that! What I don't like: Crumbling up prosciutto like bacon bits is a pizza sin I'm not exactly having cravings for Proof, but it's in a great location and worth giving a try should you find yourself at the Plaza. read more

We had a small event here out on the patio. It was about 30 people. Service was fantastic. The entire staff was accommodating from help select the menu to allowing us to use drink tickets. We will definitely be back. read more

Ugh... I hate writing about bad experiences I had but I just have to let whoever owns proof how terrible your business has become. My family and I use to be frequent flyers. We knew a server named Chris by name and he knew ours. I would rave about the bolognese and the fresh noodles. The drinks were always delicious and well crafted. However we noticed that the food started to get worse in terms of quality and service was slowly getting worse. Chris moved on and he took the food and great service with him. We stopped coming because the service in such a small place was so poor and again the food was loosing its quality. Yesterday we had a party of 11 and were sat right in the front. No biggie. We asked for waters that literally never came until the end of the meal after we had to ask the host for them. We had a reservation for 2:45pm not even peak time. Our server simply just disappeared after it took 20 min to get our drinks. Mind you there was 3 people sat the bar and no one else in the dinning room. My son's cheese pizza was cold and so was my margarita pizza. The cheese congealed very quickly. My sister pasta was over cooked and mushy and had no flavor. Chicken pacatta is supposed to have some lemon citrus and it has none. Ordered dessert I remember the tiramisu being great. It wasn't. It was dry??? How is it dry?! Idk. I don't want to know. Yes I ate the whole damn thing because I was still hungry. I'm so disappointed with this place. We won't be back that's for sure. read more

First time ordering today. I've been intrigued, but the pizza didn't say a size on it. It is definitely a small pizza. This was an expensive order for three small pizzas, one brownie and one lemon bar. Very, very expensive. One accidental taste of the lemon bar, while cutting it and I felt very fine about the price. I had hope for the pizza. I was not disappointed in that hope. This is real pizza. There is a reason it is expensive compared to many other pizzas. The quality of the ingredients, the .. whatever their chef does that is different from what other chefs do ... oh my word! I told my son, "This is Bill level pizza." Bill was a man from Greece that made pizza so good that, back when long distance calls were excruciatingly painful to pay for, a food critic from Chicago was spending so much time on the phone in our teeny town in Alaska, trying to argue his editor into letting him give a review of the restaurant. We are waiting for Bill to be resurrected and we used to sing the chorus of the song about the pizza man (1970s) about him and call him, "The Pizza Man." He had some touch that made it so that he could use the same exact ingredients as his brother, who he owned the restaurant with, and make something that was just floating far, far above what his brother could create. Yet, his brother's pizza was really incredibly good. It just didn't make you believe that angels do sing. This is pizza exactly as it should be. read more

I wish I knew! I ordered a cocktail they didn't have, so I asked for a moment to reconsider. And that was as far as I got. 15 minutes went by with bussers, the hostess who had seated me, and the server buzzing in and out of a 1/3 full patio and not one ever again looking in my direction, even with me turned completely around trying to get someone, anyone's attention. So I went to the Union next door, got prompt and friendly attention and had the goat cheese flatbread there. read more

I have had food from Proof several times- pick up or delivery and it had all been delicious! Their gluten free options are exceptional! Not just a gluten free pizza crust (which is DELICIOUS btw), but GF garlic bread, GF pasta (haven't tried it yet!) and GF BRUSCHETTA!! The pizza I've had most often- it's so good I get the same kind every time! This was the first time I ate at the restaurant and it was great! We ate outside on the patio, which had a nice atmosphere (everything at St Philips plaza does!). I ordered the GF bruschetta and red wine. The bruschetta portions were huge and they were all delicious! Also, special thanks to Proof for hosting our annual combined bookclub meeting! read more

I came here on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm and it looked like the plaza was super festive for 'earlier' brunch goers. The DJ was still around and intermittently spinning music, but also had a break for a late lunch. The weather was perfect for outside dining, but Proof's patio is situated behind the DJ's booth. If you want to people watch, be sure to sit in the back, right corner of the patio. I have been on a pizza kick for a couple of weeks now and am slowly making my way through all the local spots in search of the best pizza. Proof's pizza could possibly be in the top 5-10. I ordered the Proof (pomodoro, pepperoni, finocchiona, sausage, prosciutto, mozzarella, provolone, thyme) and really enjoyed it. The crust is crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cheese pull is decent, as is the amount of sauce on the pizza itself. The sprinkling of the herbs on top was also a nice touch, and enhanced the pomodoro. I found the sauce to be perfect, it wasn't acidic or salty and the amount of toppings was just enough to where I didn't feel I was cheated. ;P I didn't leave myself any room for dessert, but my experience was positive and I'd come back to try more. read more

The service was quick, friendly and professional. The ambience and decor are interesting. The food, however was totally ordinary. My companion's Pizza Marguerite was slightly undercooked and was a bit short on tomato sauce and didn't ring any bells in the flavor department. My Pasta Bolognese was also quite ordinary. The noodles were obviously fresh and not dried but were overcooked and the sauce was not very flavorful. Overall, this meal was quite ordinary (but not bad) and not worth the price. read more

Finally made it to this square for brunch and it did not disappoint. We actually ate at Union next door, however we spent most of our time at the bar at Proof. Between the 3 main restaurants in that square you can have "Free Flowing Mimosas" for $30 at the original place you ordered them and 1 cent each at the other two. It really is an awesome deal, highly recommended bouncing around with some of your friends or family. I just wish we started at Proof. Out of the 3 spots, Proof had the best indoor/outdoor bar area. It was not crowded at all, our service was great thanks to Brandon! We had a great conversation with him (ask for the blueberry mimosas when you are there) and he makes killer espresso martinis. We went to all 3 spots and came right back to Proof. Enjoy that area now before it gets too hot, plus they have a "closed" patio so it will not be bad when the summer does come. read more

If I could leave zero stars I would. We sat for 15 mins before someone came and talked to us, when someone did come, she was extremely rude. Think her name was Erin... we wouldn't know because she had zero introduction (we overheard someone say her name). When asking questions about drinks she had an awful attitude and said everything was premade, no attempt to have the bartender make a drink with the substituted liquor. She took an additional 10 mins to get one drink, we didn't want to spend more money than we would at North just to be upset, so we left. If you get her as a server, ask for someone else. Also, the fire pits looked dusty. Wanted to try something new... I guess we'll just stick to Vero Amore and North. Olive Garden has better service than this place. You've been WARNED!! read more

Caveat: This is only a review of their brunch menu. I will post a lunch/dinner review later. The brunch was good. Not the best I've had in Tucson but still enjoyable. We started with some mimosas, a classic brunch staple. Pretty standard drink that's hard to mess up. For the meal, I ordered the frittata. It was a little overcooked around the edges but was still good. The house potatoes served with it were very good and well seasoned. Our group sat out on the patio which was perfect to sit out and visit on a cool morning. Our server was very nice and our food was brought out within a timely manner. I can't wait to come back and try the dinner menu! read more

Hey Grant just an update to your response; I sure did bring it up hence the replacement pizza and one of your staff said your pasta being over cooked is one of the biggest complaints so best advice since your other food is so good is perhaps just make it Al dente, your sauce is delicious it is such a shame. I brought my volleyball team parents there and we even sent you an email and no response...won't be back now to union either read more

My friends and I came here last night, and were able to be seated right away. We were told to pick any table we wanted and our server was with us quickly. Walking in, the patio was very cute with all the lights on, and the inside of the restaurant had a small and cozy feel. We order the Greek 2.0 pizza and the Insalata California salad (both without the olives) to share. The salad was delicious and refreshing! The pizza was unfortunately a little floppy, making it too hard to eat with our hands, so we ate with a fork and knife. Despite this, the pizza still tasted great. Our server was able to split the check three ways, which is always nice. While, I do not think I would get the pizza again, I would not mind coming back to try more menu items! Greek read more

Very chic & trendy type pizza & pasta joint. Laid back vibe. The food was very good, altho my husband's pasta seemed to get cold really fast. He had the alfredo & I had the Proof pizza. We shared both & each was pretty good. I had asked for some ranch dressing on the side for my pizza, which was good but I was disappointed that the server didn't tell me there was an extra charge for it. Server was ok not great because it seemed like she was more interested in laughin it up with her friends at the bar instead of getting us refills & asking us if everything was good or if we needed anything else. Anyway, we will still probably be back one day but won't rush back. read more
