Top 5 best vodka pasta I've had. It's a must try. Brussel sprouts were really flavorful too!

A stunning restaurant with a place for everyone. This was at the top of a friend's list for us as we are in town. She shared the lore of it being a former funeral home/crematorium which adds a layer of mystery. The main restaurant is visually and architecturally stunning. There is a more casual beer garden, and then hidden within (down in the basement) the tough luck club - which is a dark and edgy speakeasy style bar. Service was excellent. The staff was very personable, quick to welcome us and take our orders. The pizza looked amazing and I heard many notes of it being the best crust ever consumed. My GF/DF pizza did not hit the same notes. The crust was dense and gummy. The overall pizza was pretty bland. I ordered the marinara pizza with garlic and mushrooms. I ate 1.5/4 pieces out of hunger alone, but it wasn't even worth taking the rest home. Despite the sad GF pizza, I'd definitely come back and try something else if in town again. read more

I've had a few different experiences at Reilly lately so I wanted to share all of them. One thing I will say is that the food is consistently good. I haven't had anything yet that I did not like. I went recently for brunch and then shortly thereafter experienced dinner. The rooftop was not open either of these times which was disappointing because I really love that view! If you can make it into the Beer Garden it's a great atmosphere. For brunch I tried the Biscuits and Gravy and a pasta dish that I cannot remember the name of but that had pork in it, and then split the yogurt with fruit and granola with my dining mate. Everything was delicious! I had leftovers of my two meals (I just couldn't decide between the two!). For dinner I ordered the Apple, Pecan Brittle & Gorgonzola salad along with a side of the Pork & Dry Aged AZ Beef Meatballs. My dining buddy ordered the Fennel Sausage & Roasted Peppers and I had a piece. Everything was delicious! The one down side has been the service. While the servers are generally friendly, we've had to wait a long time for anyone to get to us, take our order, and then get something we needed after we actually ordered. So I would definitely say to just go when you are not in a hurry. read more

It is hilarious how many times I've been beneath this spot in Tough Luck Club before actually checking it out! Wish I'd stopped by sooner, especially for the spicy vodka rigatoni. Wow. I am a total spicy vodka snob, but this is a solid 8.5/10. Reheats amazing as well. The other pastas and pizzas in the group were also a hit, but nothing quite as much as the truffle parm fries. Staff is really kind and very efficient! The space is cozy and reminiscent of an east coast italian restaurant. Great place to come to for a bigger group:) read more

I've been downstairs to the tough luck club many times and really enjoyed myself and have only walked through Riley's in my way there but always told myself. I really needed to try it because it always smelled so good. So was super excited to try it when I was invited to a friends's birthday dinner there. There were about 12 of us at 5 o'clock on a Thursday afternoon. We had a reservation, of course since it was just opening time we were stated quickly. Our server was nice and helpful with suggestions and did a great job, but I have to say I was very underwhelmed by the food. I started with a ricotta toast appetizer based on my server suggestion. It was OK, but didn't really have much flavor. I think it would've definitely benefited by either some red pepper flakes or a pesto or something else to live it up the flavor of the ricotta. Since they're known for their pizza rather than choosing a pasta, I chose a pizza split between the Yukon Gold potato and piccorino and pepperoni with pickled Fresno chilies. I've had another potato pizza at a different local restaurant and really loved it so I was excited about trying Reilly's but it was underwhelming. The potatoes which are sliced thin on top of the pizza had no texture to them, while I think they were fully cooked, they were just soggy, plain, sliced potatoes. The only thing that had any flavor were the big needles of Rosemary that was sprinkled sparingly on top of the pizza. Even the cream sauce was bland. Several other people at the table had also chosen that pizza and while a couple of them ended up putting some salt on their pizza which they said made it a little better most just didn't eat much of theirs. The pepperoni and Freso chili pizza was marginally better but unfortunately nothing memorable. While I usually devour my pizzas. I only ate a piece of each of the different halves and took the rest home for my bf. He grabbed the box as soon as I walked in the door and headed to the kitchen counter as I headed to the shower. Later I asked how he liked the pizza and he said "the pepperoni was pretty good but the "white one" sucked, which pretty much matched my sentiments. I'll probably give Reilly's another try again sometime and try something different but it probably won't be soon read more

Reilly Craft Pizza and Drink - Ricotta toast. Pretty but a little bland. - Italian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I'm actually disappointed that I ate here... on the day I was leaving my first trip to Tuscon leaving me no time to go back for seconds! Needless to say I will 100% be back to try more menus items. We had the margarita pizza which was light and flavorful and classic and fresh-- everything I want and expect. The ricotta toast was incredible-- it's a big serving with 4 hearty slices and it was so creamy with just the right amount of spicy sweet. Finally, the Apple Gorgonzola salad didn't disappoint. It was fresh, sweet, filling, and perfectly dressed. The atmosphere was casual for lunch but I bet it's perfect for dinner too. I can't wait to try more cocktails, pizzas and apps during my next visit to downtown Tuscon. Staff was super friendly and accommodating too. read more

Reilly Craft Pizza and Drink - Clearly couldn't wait to dig it, but here's the apple salad, ricotta toast and marg pizza! - Italian Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Food was good, service not so much. Not accommodating whatsoever and difficult staff.

Went last Sunday with a large group and the craft beer selection was good (had a the Karl Strauss Boat Shoes Hazy IPA on tap). I got the vegan pizza that had veggies (mostly mushrooms) and nutritional yeast as the cheesy flavoring. While I wish they had a vegan cheese option, the chew on the crust was one of the best I ever had. (I wish I took a Pic) Given there were 2 large groups, the bartender did a great job meeting the demand. The pizza is excellent for this reason! I would def go back. read more

Reilly's was the place to be on a Friday night! We snagged an early reservation (highly recommend doing that) because it gets packed fast. The service started off great but slowed down a bit toward the end since they were slammed. We kicked things off with the popular ricotta toast everyone raves about. We added prosciutto. It was good but half of ours was unfortunately burnt, which overpowered the flavor. The Caesar salad was interesting. Our group agreed it was okay, just not what we expected with the tomatoes in it. The pizzas were FAB! We got a split pizza. Half was the prosciutto and the other was the monthly special (a meat lover's vibe) and both were top-tier. The rigatoni also stole the show. Noodles perfectly cooked and the sauce absolutely phenomenal. There's a speakeasy tucked underground in the back with a really fun cocktail menu. Definitely worth checking out after dinner! read more

First time trying this place and I was thoroughly impressed! My group of 4 reserved a table for 8:45 pm (which is awfully close to the time they close but that was an option when reserving, just keep in mind that they'll do a last call for food). Our waitress was lovely and the ambiance of this place is pretty chill but you can definitely dress up! We started with the Housemade Bread ($8) and it was soooo yummy. The bread is fluffy and the cultured butter is extremely tasty and the rosemary adds a great flavor. To share, we got the Rigatoni ($23) pasta which has a vodka sauce and it was super delicious! The sauce is tasty (although I think a smidge more salt would've done wonders) and the pasta is cooked perfectly. The Apple, Pecan Brittle, and Gorgonzola salad ($14) was amazing! The flavors worked well and maybe next time I would ask with a little bit less of the citrus vinaigrette. We also got a pizza that was half Margherita and half Pepperoni, it was good! I just wish the crust was crunchy! Overall, everything was delicious and I would like to come back to try different things on the menu! read more

You can search high and low travel to different states and you will not find a better Vodka Pasta (Pasta Rigatoni)! It is a little on spicy side but it's phenomenal and delicious. The service is usually relatively quick and prompt. The restaurant is very dim minimal lighting which is a perfect setting for a nice dinner date or evening out. I would recommend trying the Caesar salad because the first time I went it was amazing but it's so inconsistent every time I've gone after that. read more

I'm visiting Tucson and decided to stop here because I heard wonderful things about it. The atmosphere was chill and had a nice vibe. The menu had some really good things on it in a variety of pizza and sandwiches and some appetizers that is sure to please everyone. They also had a little bar in the basement, but I didn't get to go down there. the service was decent. Overall, I wouldn't mind going back there again. The pizza was very tasty. read more

Dined in for Sonoran Restaurant Week and what a deal! Way more food than 2 people can handle! The apple pecan brittle salad was amazing as always, as was the meatball ricotta pizza (truly one of the best pies in town). The malfada pasta needs some reworking in my opinion, it's lacking flavor and the mushrooms taste off. The limoncello sorbet was the best sorbet I've ever had. Make reservations because they are BUSY. read more

Really great pasta! Service was spotty- not enough follow up about what I needed. Pepper after dropping off the salad. Bringing me new silverware after taking mine away. Or bringing me a new plate- knowing we are sharing pasta- and they have taken away my own plates. Had to keep waving someone down but the last time I couldn't get anyone's attention and our food was cooling so- I got up and searched for some plates and helped myself. The vibe is airy and spacious- tall ceilings and bustling. Got the Ricotta toast- daughter loved it- was good but I felt like it would fill me up too much, Ceasar salad nice with Red Onion Touch, 2 pastas were cooked Perfect! Meat Sauce was amazing and special but so was the vodka sauce. It had a hint of heat and perfect brightness. Totally recommend for their well executed dishes. read more

We always come here for date night and I love the vibes. The customer service and staff is always amazing and welcoming. The food is great. My husband and I always share the fries and the margherita pizza. I also love that they have mocktails and several bars now in the outdoor area. The inside of the main restaurant is small, but the outdoor bar area makes Up for the location. Even on their busiest nights we have never waited long for our food or had bad service. Definitely recommend for date night or if you're looking for great pizza downtown area. read more

the food came out surprisingly fast (not a bad thing). but when we dug in, some of the food were lukewarm. the pizza crust was so chewy. the pasta wasn't anything special, we ordered fennel sausage and peppers but couldn't find any peppers in our pasta. the salad was decent. overall tasted a little like overpriced microwaved food read more

everything we ordered was excellent but would probably not order again. we ordered the brussell sprouts and that was my favorite of what we got but my wife's least favorite because of hot sauce. My least favorite was the ricotta toast, it was very light and for me had no flavor unless you got some of the honey in the bite. it looks amazing but was flavorless to me. We also got yukon gold potato pizza and it was good, the crust was the best part.. We would come back, but we would order another pizza with the sides of asparagus and the meatballs read more

The house-made bread starter was as imposing as the rock of Gibraltar. I'll say right now that portions were generous; prepare to carry boxes out when you leave. The huge apple, pecan, and Gorgonzola salad looked as good in person as it did in the photos, and it was tasty. I had the margarita pizza while my faced imminent defeat by her Yukon Gold pizza. I highly recommend the mocha Java stout as a spirited accompaniment. Of course, any consideration of dessert was out of the question. Prices, well, after some eye-watering restaurant bills in Tucson and Phoenix, the Reilly was arrantly charitable. Reservations are easy, and you'll be glad if you have one on a warm Saturday night. Selina, our server, was sweet and she did a lovely job taking care of us. There was a lively ambiance, and I noted several smartly dressed ladies. read more

Great design capturing Arizona's downtown rebirth and finally some really good Italian food. We sat at the bar and had such a lovely time with the bar tender. We also just happen to meet the owner and her daughter who enjoyed speaking with our husbands who happened to be New Yorkers and fellow Italians and could discuss food for hours. It was quite lovely. The menu is simple yet the dishes/food they offer is lovely. Especially enjoyed the Brussel Sprout appetizer and pizza! read more

Diego and I strutted back into Reilly's with high hopes, ready to be dazzled. The roasted carrots? ¡Milagro! They were so good I nearly declared a new movement in vegetable art. Then came the pastas, and the dream unraveled faster than Diego's promises. The Corn & Ricotta Agnolott tasted less like the golden fields of my youth and more like creamed corn straight from a can. Nostalgic? Maybe. Inspiring? Only if you're painting despair. The mushroom pasta was a mountain of noodles wandering aimlessly, begging for sauce, while the poor mushrooms looked like they'd lost their passports at the border. Cohesion, mis amores, is important -- in art and in pasta. At Reilly's, order the carrots, bring your own dreams of Italy, and maybe pack a can opener just in case. read more

Delicious pizzas- we tried the fennel sausage and pepper one and the Yukon gold potato cream sauce one. Loved the simple salad too, and the grilled broccolini salsa verde with pecorino stole the show. The Reid Park Refresher cocktail was light and not overly sweet. A bit disappointed they wouldn't honor our foodie coupons when we tried to split the check, but otherwise a great experience! read more

I've been coming to Reilly for at least a decade, and I can't think of a single experience that was less than delicious. I've come for birthdays (my own and for others), anniversaries, work-sponsored happy hours, lunch with friends, Sonoran Restaurant Week, you name it. I even went to the Tough Luck Club, their fabulous basement bar, for my 30th birthday party. The ambiance is beautiful inside (although it's loud), as well as in the beer garden, in the tap room, and on the rooftop. You'd never know about its past as a funeral home, but that tidbit makes it even more special. The service is solid, with friendly bartenders as well. My favorite food items are the ricotta toast, truffle fries, Brussels sprouts (x1,000,000), meatball ricotta pizza, mushroom pizza, arugula prosciutto pizza, and vodka pasta. You really can't go wrong. The desserts are delicious too, and they'll give you a free one on your birthday. Reilly is a true downtown Tucson staple. read more

Lively place for pizza and drinks that seems popular with the younger crowd. I found a seat at the bar and ogled their draft beer options while enjoying some people-watching. After the friendly bartender gave me his take on the pizza options, I went with the fennel sausage and roasted peppers. Delicious crust was crispy with spots of char, yet also satisfyingly chewy. Nice portion of sausage and good flavor overall. If you're going on a weekend with even a small group, a reservation is smart. read more

The pizza was great , multiple choices to choose from. Decent size about 6 slices for a pizza. The area is definitely more bar style food and ambiance. Plenty loud a bit difficult to talk across table but it was pretty busy for a Thursday night. Would recommend if you're looking for a good group spot to have pizza. read more

This is a popular eatery downtown. The drinks are delicious and the food was very filling! Our cocktails were delicious and pretty! We ordered the rigatoni, brussel sprouts and a margarita pizza. The food was really good overall. I would recommend and order again. I didn't love the ricotta toast- I'm not sure what it's typically like but the bread was pretty burnt and hard, so I would not recommend this dish. It's a great place to catch up with friends or for a date night. The lighting is super dark - which could be nice for a romantic setting. It definitely took several minutes for my eyes to adjust and be able to see the menu. Cool spot downtown that I recommend read more

After not being able to get in at two restaurants downtown, Reilly Craft Pizza was able to take my brother and I without a reservation. We sat in the outdoor area, which is first come first serve where you order with the bartender. The atmosphere of the restaurant was more upscale and the outdoor seating was more casual. We ordered the Simple Salad and the Fennel Sausage Pizza to share. The salad came out first and we both enjoyed it. For being as simple as it was, it was pretty tasty! The pizza came out next and it was a little disappointing. We were both expecting more toppings on the pizza, especially more roasted peppers. The pizza was also oily. The crust was surprisingly good, having a great taste and texture, but the pizza itself was lacking. Overall, it was a okay meal, but I do not think I will be back. read more

Where to start... so we made a reservation for 8 people. We weren't told we would be sat in the beer garden. No biggie until the bartender said this is bar service. Meaning we had to grab our own water menus and order at the bar... and we had to pay a 25% gratuity??? For serving ourselves?! Absolutely appalling. The food is always good. But I wanted to come here specifically because of their tiramisu as I'm celebrating a new job. Then I'm told that they took it off their menu entirely but the menu shows it's still there. I'm just so disappointed in the style of service. I wanted to be served not doing all the work and then have to pay someone for doing literally nothing for us. We for sure won't be back. I don't understand why we couldn't be served inside the restaurant? Truly a disgrace. I'm so upset and I HATE giving bad reviews! read more

Great little joint! Was in town for a couple days and followed the Yelp reviews here. Had a delicious pale ale and a bowl of hearty strozzapreti pasta.

I LOVE this place . I used to go there once a week for their red strozzapreti pasta and homemade bread . They took the pasta off the menu and added a white strozzapreti which I didn't like . I hope it comes back . The only thing this place needs is maybe a good pest control since I once saw a insect underneath a table and waitress really didn't care . By t other than that it's a very cool place to be at read more

Added an updated review. Reilly still is a heavy hitter for the Italian scene in Tucson. The pizza, pasta and drinks are amazing.

We are pizza lovers. It is one of our favorite things so we were told that when in Tucson, for pizza you have to go to Reilly and that is so true. Everything is great!!! The Brussels sprouts were fantastic with the house hot sauce, a little sweet and a little heat. The pizza is amazing! Char is desired and intended so don't be alarmed. And don't worry, I don't gate keep- they do half and half pizza which is the best of both worlds. Everything is great! read more

Overall 4.5 out of 5. A great place to grab some food and drinks. The appetizer is a generous portion size that can definitely share with 4+ people. The pizza crust was excellent. The only personal issue I had was, too much red sauce. Other than that, the pizza was flawless. The pasta sauce was amazing! Silky, cheesy, not overwhelming. Great flavors, huge portion. The fennel sausage was a little much, but overall would eat this pasta again...and again and again. Food and drinks came out quick. Service was great! read more

First and foremost the lighting in the main dining area ensures I would never come back. It was horrible to read or view anything. If the lighting was 20% brighter the effect would still be the same. The service was fantastic. Robert was our server and he was attentive without being overbearing and pleasant to be around. Truffle fries were good not great. You get a heap of them. Perfectly salted but truffle undetectable on the fries. It was slightly detectable in the aioli. Aioli mainly tasted of just straight mayo though no garlic. I used to really really love this place pre-pandemic. But clearly a lot has changed. I would have told anyone who would listen to me that the pepperoni and Fresno chili pizza was to die for. Not anymore. The pizza has gotten slightly larger maybe? But the taste was sad. I remember a vibrant pizza with pockets of delicious spice that didn't require ranch or even a sprinkle of Parmesan. This time around I had to DOUSE my pizza in chili flakes and Parmesan which helped DRAMATICALLY. The Fresno chilis were UNDETECTABLE and the pizza was so so sooooo greasy!!!!!! The pizza was better after taking it home and being able to dip it in ranch. Which, this place prides itself on not providing it but the quality of food has dropped enough that maybe they shouldn't be so proud to not have it (bc it's needed). Overall I would not come back. $30 meal that was nothing to write home about. I don't know if owners or management changed but If I have to dip my pizza in ranch, add chili flakes and Parmesan to make it taste better what's the difference between this and a frozen pizza that you could add the same things to and get the same result with MUCH less oil? read more
