Great Neapolitan-style wood-fired pizza on sourdough crust, available sourdough loaves, interesting vegetable and salad dishes, wine, and dessert including one using Monsoon chocolate (a local Tucson chocolatier). Sonoran Restaurant Week is usually a standout time to visit. I only wish the standard menu served a few more varieties of pizza. I would visit more often.
Don't expect to have a private diving experience, though. You'll share long bench tables with other groups or couples. Get to know your neighbor or pretend you didn't overhear them.
Cost is highly variable. Pizza alone was under $20 the last time I visited, but you miss out on a lot if you skip the other offerings.
The real gripe around ANELLO is literally the changing area around it. The gentrification of the area has brought in an unlimited supply of parking meters and standardized commercial enterprises. Still, the food inside Is worth trekking past the increasing blandness outside.
Speaking of outside, the pure white building across the street from ANELLO reflects the sun something terrible depending on when you dine.

Love the wood fired pizza there, all of them! The pizza is highlighted with fresh and inventive salads and vegetable sides. They do it all well!

Pizza is decent quality. But here is the kicker. They are tiny and beyond over priced for what you are getting. I mean disgustingly over priced. Coming from NYC and other much more expensive cities this place is so out of whack for what it’s offering that I can’t in good conscience recommend them. Again it’s decent quality but not nearly as good as Grimaldis was and 3x the price 3 personal size pizzas Togo cost $110 all said and done. No thank you

A real gem in the city. The décor is humble at first glance, but when you pay attention to the details—wooden furniture, USA-made ceramic plates—you can tell this place really cares about quality.
We ordered two vegetable starters: the beetroot salad and the roasted stems. Both had very thoughtful, sophisticated flavors that you don’t come across easily. We also had the margherita pizza—simple on paper, but executed perfectly. The dough was crispy on the outside while staying fluffy inside, the tomato sauce was well-balanced and didn’t overpower the cheese, and the crispy basil added a nice depth to the overall flavor.
The only downside for me personally was that everything leaned a bit oily. I can tell it’s intentional—probably used to finish the dishes—but it’s just more oil than I’m used to.
Service was excellent. The staff were friendly in a relaxed, genuine way, but also very attentive. They timed the pizza perfectly, bringing it out right after we finished our starters and straight from the oven. That level of attention is something you usually only see in fine dining.

We liked the place, but parking is a challenge and very small seating area. luckily you can go next door and eatat the brewery. pizzas are good, but expensive for what is not much bigger than a single serving pizza.

Super cozy atmosphere, great service-by-team. Focaccia was perfect, almost wish the pepper jelly had more heat though. We got the verde pizza which had very delicate flavors, and the pistachios didn’t really do anything for us, but the crust is a 10/10.
The star of the show though was the house made sodas. Both the piloncillo and the lime sodas were superb. Would go back just for those honestly.
We ended up at the sweetest spot in Downtown Tucson tonight! It’s not loudly marked, so it feels like a speakeasy. The service was impeccable from the moment we walked in. The ambiance is simple & stunning, as is the menu and the food. We had the Panissa, the Salad (seasonal veggies), the Marinara (vegan! which is why we ended up here) and the Margherita (added Ezzo Pepperoni) pizzas (sourdough crust!!!), and the Blue Corn Lemon Tart. WOW! Everything was incredible and our server, Crockett, was the best. Thanks for the lovely night, hospitality, and delicious food!

Really wonderful place. Go. It’s more than a pizza place- I promise
Great place, great food and awesome service. We did our daughter/son-in-law graduation lunch and it was the perfect place. Highly recommended.

Anello strikes that rare balance between rustic and modern without feeling forced. The space feels intentional, cool, and grounded—exactly the kind of pizza spot that draws you in and makes you want to stay awhile. I’ll be honest, my experience didn’t start perfectly when it came to ordering and timing, but what mattered most is how it was handled. The team smoothed everything out, no defensiveness, no attitude—just solid service and care, which goes a long way.
Now the pizza. They have a vegan option that absolutely holds its own, and the sauce deserves its own moment—bright, balanced, and packed with flavor. Every bite tasted intentional. This is the kind of pizza that reminds you how good simple ingredients can be when done right. Anello easily gets my vote as one of the top pizzerias in town, and it’s a place I’ll gladly return to—rough start and all, because the finish was worth it.

Awesome pizzas and desserts. The small dining room was busy on a Friday night, but food can be ordered for take out. We tried all the desserts listed on the menu, they were all good, especially the olive oil cake.
