Brenda is fantastic!! Bruce & Jo Ann“

“The food was amazing. I was taken aback by a $15 price tag for the garlic bread, but it was worth the price. Our table was still talking about it even after the rest of the amazing food. The entree prices were very reasonable, most of them $21-$29 each. I ordered the baked canneloni and it was so good. Someone ordered a pizza and loved it, too. I know it's conceited to say--but many times I eat at a restaurant thinking my own cooking is just as good. Not at The Sicilian Butcher--I couldn't begin to replicate the delicious food we ate.“

“We just moved out to the area and the name caught us. The take out was quick. Zero hassles. Food was incredible. Will be a staple when we eat out. It was incredible. Chicken Masala was very good, although it had more of a sweet base than tasting the wine. Chicken Parm was great. Spaghetti and meatballs were very good. My daughter even loved the chicken tenders. Fries were VERY good. Bread was amazingly fresh. HIGH PRAISE TWISTED ITALIAN.“

“We went to eat there last Saturday. Very good food, nice environment, friendly peoples and our server, Laura, over the top!!! Five stars!!. I can't wait to go again!!!“

“Our first visit...won't be our last, for sure! The best mussels this side of the Mississippi!!! Amazing, authentic bolognese...and the texture of the pasta, WOW!! Our waitress, Courtney, was outstanding...from carefully explaining specials to the attention she gave our party of 6 throughout dinner!💜“

“My family and I came to Olive Garden at Arrowhead to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Stephen, our waiter, was very sweet and attentive the entire night. It was a very nice experience. He is an asset to the company. Thank you Stephen! 😊“

“Beautiful atmosphere. The food is absolutely AMAZING. The lady that took my pickup order over the phone was very nice & I can’t believe how happy my family is over our meals. We got spaghetti with salad, bread (which is my favorite by the way), meatballs(10/10), and French onion soup! My kids don’t even like onions - yet loved the soup! Seriously give this place a 10/10. Thank you for a wonderful meal with my family.“

“Our family went to the Olive Garden on Grand Ave in Surprise yesterday, 3/22/26, we clearly had the best waiter in Christian in the room. I'm retired Navy in my 50's been to plenty of restaurants, and Mr. Christian was just a genuinely polite young man, great eye contact, listening skills, he came by our table 2 or 3 times to check in and didn't make us wait to long for our to go bags and final bill. I told the manager about our experience, sounds like he's just starting to waiter. Ask for Christian as your waiter, take care.“

“Wendy and her crew catered our wedding at the end of March and it was truly incredible! From the amazing appetizers they served during our cocktail hour, to the phenomenal pizza they served during dinner, we were blown away! Wendy responds so quickly and answered all of our questions! We loved getting to meet her before the wedding for a taste test and we were obsessed with her pizzas! We can’t wait to have it again! Can’t recommend Wendy enough! She’s awesome and her pizza is next level!“

“My husband & I have been to Olive Garden Glendale many times in the past and always enjoyed the food, the ambiance, and the employees. This time we came to celebrate our 23rd anniversary and we were greeted by our server, Kiah. Best server ever! She was so attentive, very friendly, very professional, and really added to our experience. We laughed together - but she was also respectful of our celebration, and gave my husband & I space to enjoy the food and each other. Next time we come, we will certainly ask to be seated in her area. At the end of our meal, DJ, the General Manager, came by our table to make sure that we enjoyed the food. We sure did - but we also raved about Kiah. DJ was wonderful!, very friendly and appreciative. Thank you Kiah and DJ - you made us feel like royalty. Highly recommend Olive Garden Glendale. When you arrive, ask for Kiah! She will make certain that your experience is awesome.“

“I have lost track of how many times we have been here since it opened. We have eaten the pizza, meatball appetizer with garlic bread, fish and chips, Caesar salad, garlic knots with marinara, plus a couple of the sandwiches. Everything has been delicious. Love this place.“

“short waiting line, great service , super food variety & delicious food....💥“

“5 stars!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely love North Italia. I have been going to different Norths around Arizona and the Peoria location is my favorite. The service was amazing from start to finish, the server was so descriptive and helpful to me and my family and the whole experience just felt so welcoming. The hostesses are all so cute and nice, but I have to shout out Payten specifically — she helped us out and went above and beyond. When we asked her to take our picture, she took so many for us and was hyping us up the whole time, which was so sweet. She was super attentive and made the experience even better.

Definitely one of my favorite spots — I’ll 100% be coming back. It’s like Italy in Arizona“

“Food is delicious! Service fast! Great server!“

“Paulie’s is amazing the food, family, and fun! I will say the front desk hostess area is confusing and disorganized. My brother and mother love the food!“

“Their salads are to die for! Love their food!“

“I don't eat red meat. But I do at Richie's. That should say it all.“

“Was taken here for the first time,, and it was lovely. Our waitress was so wonderful, she was patient with us and answered all of our questions, and checked back with us several times to make sure we were doing well, the food was delicious, with great choices weather you wanted traditional or something different and fresh ideas.“

“Awesome job on the meatball sandwich! Great, friendly fast service!“

“Great option in the Central Valley! Just moved to Glendale from N Phoenix and wanted a closer option. This definitely hit the spot! Quick delivery via third party delivery service and the pizza was awesome! Thanks Lucky’s!“

“Professional, clean and good tasting food. Great for a quick lunch or nice dinner, definitely recommend.“

“great waitress, food and neighborhood atmosphere“

“I did not eat inside but where i do order online I am always given quick and convenient service. I’ve gotten the Chicago deep dish many times but this most recent visit was by far the best. They had put light sauce as I ordered and the seasoning they used to top the pizza was a 10/10 it tasted so much better than every other time I’ve ordered the same pizza.I would definitely get it again.“

“This is not commentary on the food itself, but an issue that customers need to be aware of when ordering delivery. Many restaurants are doing this, and this is yet another...do NOT try to tip the delivery driver through them. They subcontract the services of people like Door Dash, and when a tip is added to the order the delivery driver will never see a dime. The restaurant KEEPS those tips. I always tip in cash myself, because multiple restaurant chains are doing this to drivers that end up making as low as $2.50 in TOTAL for bringing even a large entire catering order to someone. This exact scenario occurred with an order from this location.“

“Just celebrated my wife’s 80th Birthday. Great atmosphere, great food, friendly staff, Not the first time here, would have to consider myself a regular for sure. Dominick and his wife Debbi are very accommodating. By the end of the night we were friends with other customers. They all sang Happy Birthday to Marcia. And let’s not forget the singing and dancing. Could not have asked for a more memorable night“

“Love this place! I take friends and family here when they come to town and want an amazing experience and great pizza 🙌“

“They served my husband and I are food and it was about another 30 minutes before we got our granddaughter's Pizza and of course she was irritable for a 3-year-old not to be able to eat and she didn't want anything else but her pizza that she picked out so it was not a good experience“

“Medium size pizza place with beer and drinks. We were a party of 6 on a Friday night. No trouble getting a table. Waitress was excellent, courteous and helpful with menu questions I had. Prompt service. I had a slice of Chicken Cacciatore pizza and it was excellent. I added a dinner salad, salad was fresh and good, with Balsamic dressing. Great food and experience!“

“If you know, you know... Barros Pizza is always great! Super consistent in every way! The pizza is delicious... Just plain pepperoni or the special... Everything else is really good too! They are pretty much my favorite pizza place in Phoenix. BTW... Did I mention the great lunch menu? Pizza by the size... Slice of Hawaiian and a slice of pepperoni with a large soda... So good! Love this place!“

“Good pizza and wings! Plus choices of drinks! Also local! 👍🏻“

“Yummmm…enough said! Keep it up❣️“

“Recently ordered a 14 inch combo pizza and 12 wings to eat with the family. The pizza was pretty good and the bread for the pizza was actually quite nice. We had Parmesan flavor wings and they were pretty good too, however, instead of receiving 12 there were only 9. In today’s economy that is a bigger deal than normal.

I called to let the location know about the issue not to get anything for free. My family had a restaurant for over 10 years and it’s good just to let restaurants to know feedback - good or bad. The manager asked if I wanted additional wings now which I declined. The manager asked if they could credit the account but this was the first time ordering via the website and did so as a guest. The manager, she ended up refunding the $18.00 for the wings, which she did not even need to do, but it is appreciated.

I was gonna give this review 3/5 but since the manager stepped up I’ll give it a 4/5 and recommend giving them a chance. Just be sure to count your wings before leaving. 😂“

“Get the pizza and wings! Yum!“

“Food was yummy, portions were generous. Great service by Andy!“

“I love Barro's pizza its NOT greasy at all and the crust is not hard its more of a soft crust like bread sticks.“

“We ordered white pizza today for the first time ; it was delicious. Thick , chewy crust , plenty of cheese ; very good . We definitely will be getting it again“

“Just had the deep dish Chicago style pizza and it's the best I've had around Sun City and even in town it was done so well tasted great would recommend to anyone that wants it deep dish Chicago style pizza“

“Given the change awhile back the location has undergone several changes. We have had good experiences, and some less than desirable experiences. But overall this place is good quality and we still frequent. Shannon and Hannah both do an amazing job of taking care of our family each time.“

“I’d ordered a large sausage pizza with extra sausage because the last time I’d gotten a sausage pizza it didn’t have enough sausage on it. This time it was perfect! It tasted just like the Lou’s in Chicago. This is the only place I’ll order pizza from!“

“Love this place! Been going here for YEARS!“
