“My mom and I were just having a lunch date, so nothing fancy....lol. The young man that was our server, was wonderful. His timing to check on us was always perfect. Because we all know how servers always seem to catch you when your mouth is full 😆. That never happened once, he made sure we had everything thing we needed and even boxed up our leftovers for us. He was super friendly and made our visit very pleasant. It was very busy and a bit noisy but they have no control over that.“

“un agradable lugar para convivir 100/100 recomendable“

“We had a very pleasant evening at Pacino's tonight with great food but the best part was having a friendly waiter! He was very considerate and helpful with three older women out for a relaxing evening! He paid excellent attention to our order! We will come back because of him, Zavier! KLW“

“We brought a group of 20 last night to your restaurant. We had an amazing time. Service was the best and our waitress is #1 Angie. Food was excellent and everyone tried different meals. I would highly recommend if you want a romantic evening or a large group they accommodate. Manager came and introduced himself . Definitely a 5 . We were there for 2 hours of dinner, drinks, and a social before heading back. Thank you👏“

“My fiancé and I come here all the time! The owner is so friendly and the food is so fresh. I like to get the salads and my fiancé likes to get the pastas. Between us we've been through most of both sides of the menu and have enjoyed everything we've eaten! Definitely check this place out!

Vegetarian options: All pastas and salads are customizable so you can choose to add protein or not“

“Food was standard but what really made my night was Edison’s service. He was very attentive and also extremely friendly. With excellent service and constant check in’s he is the definition of excellent service! Most friendly and hospitable server I’ve met in a while.“

“I am told Mama Linda's is closed for the Summer. They are planning to expand and try for a liquor license and more seating. Pro Tip: Call to verify before making any lengthy drive!

I will miss the Texas sized portions of lasagna and her Italian wedding soup. Ditto for lemon cake! We will definitely return upon re-opening!

The real stars at this establishment were go to select staff. The maitre'd and his girlfriend / server were always delightful! Always happy to see us too! They deserve 10 stars!

So - as the lyrics go: "See You, In September" (or so I hope).“

“Babbo is one of our favorites! We love how the environment is great for families, date night, or just getting dinner with some friends. The staff is very welcoming and helpful, and the food is delicious. Highlights for us were the Italian Sodas and the flexibility we were given to customize our order, taking their already amazing Creamy Lemon Ricotta but adding chicken and pesto - absolutely mouth watering.“

“The food was fantastic. I got the lobster ravioli and it was so good and tasteful. The ice cream was perfect with the candied walnuts. The salad was great and the soup. The server was able to make me Italian soda and it was so good. I highly recommend this place.“

“Great place and first time here. The bartender was nice and attentive. We ate at the bar which was pleasant and didn't feel crowded or not attended to.
Jimmy, who is I assume a manager, was awesome. Towards the end of our meal he asked if we enjoyed everything or if needed anything additional. He packaged up our to go boxes as the portions are HUGE and treated us like we were at a 5 star restaurant.
For $80ish we had two 22 ounce IPA's and two great dishes that will provide lunch and dinner tomorrow. Enjoyed it and we will be back.“

“Delicious pizza and salad ... cute little place .. we will be back!!“

“This pizza goes unchallenged. I started with the cheese slice on my first visit, and I was hooked. The cannoli cake is fire. The wings are bomb! And the Red & White pie is a killer also.“

“The food is great! The Wait Servers are very attentive. Large portions are served. You'll have a lot to take home unless you go with the family.“

“Good food at this place the chicken Alfredo pasta is the best“

“A lot of people recommend this place to us. Did not disappoint. Food was great. Give it a try 👍“

“I use to go here with my parent when I was 12 yrs old and the AMC theater was next door. 30 years later, this place is still amazing. The food is delicious and the servers are great. The. Lasagna baked with cheese is so delicious. It just sucks that they close at 8pm“

“I literally did a happy dance after every bite!!! I ordered the cheese pizza and chicken carbonara, they were both so delicious!! The cheese pizza was thin, cheesy and perfect, I would say this is my favorite cheese pizza in the state so far. The carbonara was delicious, I added crushed red pepper to mine, because I love some heat!! The garlic bread dipped in Alfredo sauce from here, I swear I’d have it as my last meal, it was that delicious!!! Everything my family has tried for here was fantastic!!“

“We’re from other states. My husband is from Texas and I am from Louisiana. We met on the pipeline and started our own business which keeps me returning to mesa Arizona 2-3 times a year. The steel mill has recommended this business and we love it! It’s a must stop every time! I can’t wait to eat here every time I’m in town! The people, atmosphere, and food is amazing!! Highly recommended to new visitors!!“

“Pizza Mart has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started coming here as a kid, and it was a staple during my high school years. Now, I love bringing my own family to share in the tradition.

The owners are absolutely fantastic—friendly, welcoming, and always making sure everyone feels at home. The food? Delicious and affordable. Whether it’s their perfectly crispy pizza or their unbeatable ice cream cones, there’s something for everyone to love.

What really sets Pizza Mart apart, though, is the experience. The old-school video games are a huge hit with my kids and bring back some great memories for me. It’s more than a meal; it’s a place to make memories.

If you’re looking for great food, a family-friendly atmosphere, and a touch of nostalgia, Pizza Mart is the place to go!“

“Food was excellent and the servers were great! I am looking forward to going back there to enjoy the patio dining!“

“pepperoni and jalapenos pizza with mango habanero wings and a cold beer❤.it was all good not bad“

“I’m from the East Coast and the pizza here in Arizona is terrible. We found Venezia’s Pizzeria one day & it is exactly like the pizza I got in NY & Philly. It’s absolutely delicious and doesn’t taste like cardboard like the other places. It is our go to pizza place whenever we want pizza, calzones and other food for dinner. We haven’t eaten at any other restaurant since finding Venezia’s. I highly recommend it. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“So I’ve been meaning to write a review for this place. The pizza. The pizza was everything I was looking for in taste and quality. I’m glad I found a place better than my local pizza place that’s worth the drive from Florence. The wings were bomb! But the pizza and ranch were unbelievable. Glad this place sells pizza by the slice and 2 slices and 1 drink for about $10 you can’t beat that. They’re big slices! One slice will fill you up!“

“Always excellent love this place!!“

“Every time we go there the staff is so nice and friendly and the pizza 🍕 is so delicious“

“So glad Fazoli’s is back in AZ. I had a little of everything and it was all as amazing as I remembered!!“

“Pretty good, I was happy to order the honey pepperoni without having to go up North for this little spot. Love how enough pepperoni is added to the pizza. The cheese bread is my favorite when it comes to the appetizer. Will definitely be back.“

“Milano's is a great little restaurant near Falcon Field. I order a salad for lunch, and eggplant parmesan for dinner. Cozy atmosphere with lots to look at.

Kid-friendliness: Staff is patient with kids and the kids menu is good. My girl eats the spaghetti with meatball.“

“We love Nello’s and drove all the way over only to be told that they were slow and decided to close an hour and a half early tonight. We were disappointed for sure. There were other patrons that were turned away as well. We will call first from now on.“

“Redline Pizzeria gots to be one of the best pizza shops in the east valley“

“very good food and very nice people love this place the pizza 🍕and wings are the best in az.“

“Delicious food. Are here multiple times while a loved one was staying at the hospital across the street. Only disappointment was that all meals were 1100+ calories, with very few options for anything light. Even the salads are 1300 calories.“

“Loved the food and service?

Vegetarian options: They had what we needed for some of my vegan friends

Parking: No problem whatsoever ever

Kid-friendliness: They had a section for the children to play“
