    Well one bad review of one star so I decided to roll the dice and give this place a try. Ordered three taco plate that came with rice and beans. Ordered birria, carne asada, and Al pastor. Also ordered two taco plate that came with fries. Both combo dish came with drink but one of the drink with we got pumpkin spice horchata. Well, dang... First time I came to a taco place where I couldn't tell the difference between Al pastor and carne asada. They both pretty much tasted same, meat was little bit on the dry and chewy side. Also did not have much flavor. Birria one was pretty good. Taco plate was way better, I guess they are known for their birria tacos which was pretty good. But I've had way better birria tacos at other place. The salsa was one little spicy don't know what kind of flavor and other green salsa which was not bad. Over all I was disappointed and really not worth 30+ bux after tip. I would not be coming back here again.

    Mangonada! Mmm

    Food was great- large quantity- and I'm excited to have a mangonada near by for the hot summers - we will be back- love the melon refresher as well!

    First time here. Took a good minute looking over the menu. The girl at the register took our name and asked if it was for here and then told us to take our time. We ordered our meals. As we were finishing, people were coming in ordering, they mentioned the black Friday deal of $1 tacos. It upset me a bit because I feel the girl could have mentioned that. We are not from this area and we're not familiar with the establishment. I looked around the windows and no sign of the deal either. I had just finished mentioning to my partner how good the tacos were. My only complaint was that a few chips to go with my beans would have been the perfect combo. Prices are cheaper but the plates are also smaller compared to like a Filibertos.

    Limes they just threw in the bag

    I don't think I'll be coming back here. I wanted to try it out because for the price it seems great $3-4 tacos when some places can charge $7+ these days. So price was great. However, I walk in to pick up my order. The lady working the register was in the back. Which was fine but the guys behind the kitchen know she isn't there and I couldn't even get a "we'll be right with ya", a look in my direction, nothing. After 2 min or so the lady comes from the back and a few minutes later I got my order. The first thing I see is that the limes have been just carelessly thrown into the foil they wrap the tacos in. So I had limes just thrown into the bag. So this was strike 2 showing me you all don't care. Then as I get to my pollo tacos I see they have melted Kraft singles cheese on the taco. Which was just unappealing. I tried one but it wad gross. They are also really heavy handed with the cilantro but that's just me. I won't be returning.

    Have you ever stalked a food truck like it was your ex on Instagram, hoping and praying they would…read morefinally settle down and open a permanent location? And then imagine finding out that said location is INSIDE an incredible brewery. Baby... when I tell you I almost ascended. Hello? Excuse me? Did the pizza and beer gods personally hear my dramatic little prayers? Did they not only bless us with this heavenly combo, but ALSO decide to rotate different pizza specials every single week just to keep me emotionally unstable? Because THEY. DID. I genuinely cannot stop talking about this place. At this point my friends are one more pizza rant away from blocking my number, but I refuse to apologize. Every single time I go, I convince myself this is my favorite pizza... and then next week they drop another masterpiece and suddenly I'm questioning everything I thought I knew about myself. What makes this place so ridiculously good is that they are fearless. They're out here using sauces as bases that other pizza places would clutch their pearls over. Ingredients that sound chaotic on paper somehow turn into the most beautiful, life-altering bite you've ever had. It's giving culinary drag performance. Bold. Unexpected. A little dramatic. Perfect execution. And the brewery vibe? Elite. The energy is fun, relaxed, a little loud in the best way, and honestly the perfect setting to destroy an entire pizza while pretending you'll "just have one slice." Lies. All lies. The beer pairings somehow make every flavor pop even more, which feels scientifically unfair. Also can we normalize restaurants understanding that pizza should be FUN? Because this place gets it. They're creative without being pretentious, experimental without losing quality, and somehow every pie still feels comforting and familiar while also making you gasp like you just heard fresh gossip. At this point I don't even ask what the special is anymore. I just trust them blindly like a toxic relationship, except this one actually delivers happiness. 10/10. Life-changing. Emotionally supportive pizza.

    If you're in downtown Mesa and you're looking to grab a bite to eat and maybe have a drink or two,…read moreyou should consider swinging by Goat and Ram This spot has all the small batch brewery vibes, but is also a very popular pizza parlor. Located on the main drag of downtown Mesa you can eat inside or on the patio. There aren't servers, instead, you order at the front desk. The menu has a variety of options, mostly pizza (both classics and signature pies). There is also a bar area where you can grab a pint or two of local brews The interior was electric with people enjoying pizza, locations, watching the Olympics, and just unwinding for the day. We ordered a salad and a couple of pizzas. The salad came out first, and the pizzas weren't far behind Being a self-proclaimed pizza snob, the pizza was fine. It wasn't overly flavorful, and it didn't blow me away, but it also didn't disappoint. The salad was LOADED with toppings, and I was somewhat impressed there. Unfortunately, polling the group, the beer was slightly lackluster. But again, this spot is a fun vibe and is great if you want to hang out for a bit and enjoy a brewery/pizza parlor type atmosphere Some tips: When you're done with your drinks and meal consider walking down the Main Street and stopping by one of their many bars, museums, and other eateries There isn't a lot of parking off the main drag, but we were fortunate enough to find parking on a few different occasions Cheers!

    My wife and I decided to escape the heat and house and go to Happy Hour…read more We sat at the bar since there was no one there and the day shift bartender was so friendly. After enjoying a drink we settled on the Italian fries, which are addictive they come parm, truffle, parsley and a special aioli served hot it's just incredibly good. Each ordered our own pizza, my wife the pepperoni and I the Margarita done Napoletana style. They were amazing, dough was soft, easy chew, sauces were incredible. We both agreed this place has moved to near the top of pizza places in NE Mesa. What is incredible is no one was there, we had the whole place to ourselves, which we couldn't believe no one was there for a happy hour on a Friday. We will be back soon, you should try it, well worth it.

    Pizzicata just started serving breakfast and it is fantastic! We decided to try some of the more…read moreunique items and were really impressed. The pancakes with bacon cooked right into them were such a fun twist and tasted amazing. The green chili bowl had great flavor with a nice kick, but it wasn't overly spicy. I added bacon to mine and it was really good. But honestly, the star of the show was the side of apple butter. It was so delicious it almost tasted like dessert! If you haven't tried their new breakfast yet, it's definitely worth checking out! The prices are really affordable too.

    Been to Amici's three times now and I hate to say it, but I do think it was a little overhyped lol…read more That being said, it's still a great pizza spot! I just think when it first started getting popular, the 2 hour waits were a bit extreme. The pizza is good, but not "wait in line for hours" good I always get the vodka pizza and usually love it, but for some reason it tasted different this time, it felt less saucy than usual so I was a little bummed, especially because it was my first time bringing my friend here and it just wasn't tasting quite as I remember it. The Shirley Temple is always a must though! It's basically like any Shirley Temple you've had before, but honestly that's what makes it good. No need to fix something that's not broken! We also got the fried mushrooms which were just okay to me. I mostly enjoyed them dipped in ranch. My friend got the buffalo chicken pizza too, and while I'm personally not a huge fan of that kind of pizza, they seemed to really enjoy it! The tiramisu was delicious though, probably the best part of the meal honestly. Our server was super nice, attentive, and helpful throughout the whole meal. The inside has your classic casual pizza shop vibe, definitely a nice spot to grab some slices and hang out with friends!

    Best pizza in the Valley by far!! My husband (from New Jersey) has said multiple times that Sal's…read morehas the only pizza in Phoenix that's good - he has high standards, but I agree with him that the best pizza is at Sal's. He usually gets a plain pie (pizza with cheese), which he says is great, and I have had several different kinds of pizza during our visits to Sal's and each one has been amazing - plus, they have garlic powder at each of the tables. The calamari and tiramisu are also fantastic!! The service is always great - our servers are consistently friendly and helpful. The place is super cute and homey and can accommodate both big and small parties. It's a good thing that Sal's is 20 minutes from us, or else we would probably be here at least 3 times a week, something that would do considerable damage to both of our waistlines.

    I've been hearing this is the best in the E Valley. I cannot agree more!!!…read more I tried what most call a "tomato pie." Sal's calls it upside down pie. Sicilian style. Either way, it was an amazing slice! I typically add some grated parm, Italian seasoning and black pepper, (They have them), this pie needed nothing!!! 8.5 rating. Portnoy scale. Which means excellent!!! The other slice was a Neopolitan cheese slice. With added basil. I love good basil pie. Again, fantastic!!! Scored 8.5. I'll go back and try some Italian foods as everything coming out of the kitchen looking non nom nom!!!
