    I know of you look at my stats, you'll say this guy must be getting paid to give 5 freaking stars..... But people this pizza joint will get you high like John Legend "So High". The atmosphere is really nice, you have family's, friends, couples and folks who just want to hang at the bar; Spinato's takes em all. The restaurant is very clean and the customer service is top notch. The have ample parking and outdoor seating that is misted very well. The pizza is banging, every kind I've tried here is great and they serve the pizza up at the right temperature hot but not burn the roof of your mouth hot. I always go thin crust, but I'm sure the other stuff is good too. The have ample drinks to wash down your meal and quench your thirst. Your pockets won't hurt too bad coming here unless you like their drinks and you wild out on them.

    Disappointing service. We were in the mood for some pizza and salad so chose Spinatos on 7th St. Upon walking in the front door during the noon hour on a Saturday there was no hostess to be found. We waited a couple minutes and then dipped our head into the bar and the bartender looked at us and mumbled something but acted like he wasn't there to assist us either. We started looking for a table in the bar area and then the waitress showed up mentioning that only the bar top was open seating. Seeing as the bar side had 3 people at the bar top and literally no other patrons we picked a booth where it would be easy to sit our daughter in her car seat. The hostess went out of her way to be snippy that it wasn't open seating. Perhaps a better response would have been "sorry I didn't see you when you came in, I saw you were looking at tables in there, if you want to pick a table in the bar area go ahead and I'll follow you with menus." We got up and left and had a good experience down the street at Culinary Dropout/The Yard! I recommend you do the same if you read this.

    AhMAZING pizza and sandwiches. Even if you are gluten free with Celiac. No cross contamination here! Very savory in flavor with good cheese and excellent seasonings. Have also ordered their to go pizza and they are excellent. Well worth your visit.

    1st timer, definitely will be back. The Cesar Salad entree portion was enough for me, my hubby, and my 6yr old. BEST part is that they have HAPPY HOUR EVERYDAY 2-6pm including weekends! !

    If I have an out-of-town guest visiting I always take them to Spinato's for the "best pizza they will ever put in their mouth". 9 out of 10 times they tell me "this is the best pizza I have ever put in my mouth". Oh, and the rest of the menu is just as good.

    I think the pizza here is pretty good. It's a nice value given how large a pizza is. The thin crust pizza is probably my favorite. Veggie pizza has a really nice assortment of different toppings. Cheese is always a good classic, and sausage is hearty and delish. The Sicilian pizza is pretty good. The sauce is a bit sweet, but it's huge, and again, a good value for what you get. I think in the future I'll stick with the thin crust. Salads are large and very filling. You could easily split one with someone in addition to a small pizza and have a nice, filling meal. If you're in the mood for pizza, especially if you have a group of kids, Spinato's is a good place to go.

    We love Spinato's!!! We go whenever our family comes to visit from Illinois! We went tonight and has the best service ever! Keiko was wonderful and gave us the perfect amount of attention. Food was GREAT as usual!!! It's definitely worth the drive! (Still waiting for a Spinato's in the NW valley!!!!! Yummy!!!

    Simply one of the best pizzas in town! Great new location with a huge dining area and separate take out area in a large parking shopping plaza. Use to always go to the one on Glendale Rd before they moved here and fought for parking and elbow to elbow inside.. Now to the food, generally order the "Get Meaty" Pizza and Cheese or Margarita. Generally we don't eat the crust but it is so good and sweet hate to not eat the crust. The pizza is always cooked perfectly and generously piled with what ever you put in it. Love the sausage, pepperoni and mushroom. Love the small business family owned business and will support them as much as possible rather than eat the big chain pizza places. Have been to the one in Tempe, North Phoenix and Central Phoenix and will come back to all or whatever is closest.

    You got to check out Spinato's on 7th street & Missouri. Delicious food and great environment. Centrally located in the heart of Phoenix. We enjoyed so much!!! Our server Pedro rocked :) Two thumbs up!!

    First time trying out the new local pizza restaurant. My daughter is the pizza expert so we ordered a cheese and sausage pizza. We had been ordering from NYPD for years because we like thin crust. Overall the sausage was tasty. The sauce was light. The cheese was really good. They delivered in a timely friendly manner. Will go there again. Next time I will dine in. It looked nice inside when I peeked in once.

    Gotta say this place was pretty dam good. First I had an appetizer of Garlic Bread with cheese. Hands down...the best garlic bread I've ever eatin. From the crunch of the crust, the flavor of the cheese and the marinara sauce...wasn't too tomatoey(word?). It actually had a little sweetness to it. Also tried a small order of wings with medium sauce. I'm a wimp when it comes to spice/heat...don't judge me...but they were juicy and well cooked. (Not pictured) Pizza was thin crust. Half pepperoni and the other half was Hawaiian (pineapple w/ ham). Flavored were on point. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for some good pizza and garlic bread. Not to mention the atmosphere was very chill. Games were on the tube and the people looked good.

    Always the best pizza, hands down! Get your pizza with fresh basil. It is ummmm ummm melt in your mouth scrumptious. Calzones are dough overload. Can't say anything about service, I do takeout.

    After my last experience, I think I'm gonna have to delete Spinato's from my go-to pizza spot. I've frequented this place multiple times, maybe once a week even and I always seem to look past the bad service and just visit for the taste of the pizza alone because well, it was just that good! After a long week, my bf and I along with his parents went over for happy hour/dinner tonight. We were seated at a booth and the server was nice. I ordered the usual - gluten free combo with jalapenos along with HH wings. We received our order of wings first. The wings were being devoured and we were emptying our plates. As the server starts picking up the empty plates to make way for the pizza, he slips and the plates come crashing on our table. Ranch and pizza sauce splatters everywhere including on our clothes! My bf had ranch all over his pants and shirt. It was the most awkward moment! We all fell silent, the server is apologizing profusely, and a few employees come by giving us napkins and club soda. Why, thanks! The pizza gets to our table and the table is still messy with ranch sauce. The accident happened so fast and I felt like the employees just dropped things to help us clean up, but they didn't clean up the table for us! We were wiping the table down ourselves. We start eating our pizzas and things seem to simmer down. Then, here comes the aftermath. My bf's dad starts drinking his water and there is a chicken wing bone in his cup! Oh nasty. Then to make things worse, the mgr (I think) came over and said if I wanted, I can get my shirt drycleaned and they would reimburse me so she gave me a business card that was written, "Good for drycleaning of one shirt". My, that was a nice gesture (saying sarcastically). That would mean that I would have to drive to a drycleaner to drop off my shirt, then pick it up, then go over to Spinato's to get reimbursed for $2! The gas alone to get to and from the drycleaners and to head to Spinato's would be more than $2! Are you kidding?! Thanks for inconveniencing me for reimbursement! Nothing on our check was comp'd. As an "exceptional service" practice, comping a dinner for a restaurant's mistake/accident and the inconvenience of even going to a drycleaner would have been the best thing to do. I used to love the pizza, but now - I just don't want to consider even coming back.

    Delicious pizza! Just ate dinner there on 04/25/15 for the appetizer we weren't sure what to order. The waitress recommended the medium wings she said they are her favorite. I beg to differ. Not the best wings I have had. But let me tell you! "Da'Greek" pizza! Is so GOOD! I was very impressed. That best pizza I've had in awhile. For the little ones I ordered the spaghetti and meatballs with marinara & they loved it! Ate the whole dish! And they are somewhat picky of their food. The kids meal also came with a drink and gelato! Our whole meal only cost us $23! Not too shabby! I'll be back :)

    Being from Chicago, it's nice to find a spinoff of Chicago pizza here in AZ, because AZ pizza pretty much sucks. Spinato's has amazing pizza, and I will drive out of the way to get one. One bite and you're right back in Aurelio's in Schererville. The thin crust is amazing, and you can't eat their pizza without looking down and realizing you just ate the whole thing. Definitely recommended.

    Serviceable as a general restraunt. Nothing has officially impressed me nor upset me there. The prices are reasonable for lunch and dinner however I do think their calzones are on the smaller side especially for their price and amount of food you get. In general I would recommend it for your average night out where you want a decent dinner without breaking the bank or even as a quick call in four lunch without frequenting the fast food arena. Basicly it is your middle of the road restaurant of general applicability.

    We had an awesome dinner, just the two of us. We arrived and were told it was going to be a 25 min wait, which on a Saturday night that was expected. We sat at the bar and started to order a couple classes of wine from the bar tender Edward but they had just texted us for our table. There was only a 5 minute wait, awesome! We were seated in the bar, where there were no children, awesome! We each had a pasta dish Chicago Penne Alla Vodka and Rosted Butternut squash & Brussels sprout penne, with cheesy garlic bread. Glasses of wine for $5, awesome! Christopher ordered the tempting Red Velvet Ding Dong, it is exactly what you think. It is a square, not round, Red Velvet cake dipped in dark chocolate. Holy crap it was good. I for one do not order dessert at restaurants unless they appear exception to me. I am often disappointed. In this case my compliments to the pastry Chef, this cake was super moist and tasty without being too sweet. I ordered the Trios Cabernet Sauvignon, which was super tasty. Pops had the Chianti. The service was great and we simply enjoyed a great meal. As a bit of recommendation, if you have not eaten at Spinato's before you must give it a try. The sauce is has great flavor, the Pizzas are great and so is the pasta. If you have not been to the original locale in Tempe you should see where it all started. It is in an industrial area and they do not serve alcohol at this location. It opened in 1986. The Central or North Central Phoenix location opened in 1994, has since moved from the well know 12th St and Glendale location to the new building built where Manuel's Mexican food once stood, at the corner of 7th St. & Missouri. It is in my opinion a far better location. The new building is beautiful. It has increased the size of the restaurant and the parking is much better. However, I do like the intimacy of the old location. As a local, it made me feel like it was my restaurant and not just another commercial space. Spinato's has great pizza, pasta, salads, and appetizers. They still serve up authentic Chicago style Italian food even though they have been making pizza in the valley since 1974.

    This is such a great date spot! I love everything about their pizza and fresh toppings! This place has become 1 of my favorite pizza places nearby. The only reason I give this a 4 star review is because the Golden BBQ Wings are just awful!...If you love mustard, than these wings are for you. I expected it to be more of a honey BBQ flavor, but boy was I wrong! They should either rethink their sauce recipe or perhaps rename the wing. It's too bad I got these ToGo or I would have returned them after the first bite.

    So after calling in 50 minutes ago and being quoted a 20 minute ready time, here I sit. Waiting on my pizza. I'm not sure why I continue to frustrate myself time after time by ordering Spinatos pizza. If this were a one time incident I could understand. Long waits happen every time! I might be able to look past it if it weren't for the lack of customer service and non-friendly approach each time I come to this specific location. No one ever seems to be bothered that you've waited longer than quoted and no one takes responsibility. Tonight I was told there's a new girl in the kitchen and she's not keeping them up on times. What about the last two times I've been in? Is there a new employee each time I call in an order? I really enjoy the pizza here and it's convenient that I live five minutes away but today may be my final visit here.

    The pizza itself is three star worthy. It wasn't bad, but certainly not my favorite around. The scope of the menu and the options for those with dietary restrictions is awesome! It's a pizza place where you can opt to eat in a somewhat healthy manner! (Or be as cheesy, meaty, carby naughty as you desire!) Two of us went in on a Tuesday night, relatively late for Phoenix dinner (I think we met around 8ish). The place was packed - and we were lucky to get a table in the bar with no wait. There's a drink special each day - Tuesday was cheap premium beer. The service was friendly and on point, food was delivered quickly - fresh and hot for the pizza, fresh and cold for the salad. The visit was definitely worthy of a four star review - and I know lots of people swear by the pizza - but it just wasn't stellar for me. Good, but not amazing. However - based on the comfort and cleanliness of the place, friendliness and competency of all the staff I encountered and overall quality and volume of options - I will definitely be back!

    Really enjoyed our early Saturday evening visit here. Parking lot was packed when we pulled in. Was told it would be 20 minute wait but it was only ten minutes before we were seated. Promptly served drinks. Iced tea went down smoothly. Really good. We ordered the 16 inch Super Six "Italian sausage, pepperoni, ham, mushrooms, mixed green & red sweet bell peppers, mozzarella" and had pineapple added as an addition. Absolutely delicious!! Couldn't resist finishing our meal with the brownie desert. OMG so good. Service was prompt and courteous. I highly recommend Spinato's for great pizza.

    I'm glad this place opened up within walking distance. The pizza is tasty and reasonably priced. Decor is great and service friendly and professional. It's a place we take out of towners when they feel like pizza.

    I must admit I am addicted to this pizza. If I lived closer I would have more pizza in my life! Amazing sauce that makes you think about it and want more after you have left. I usually get the small peperoni, which is perfect for one person with enough to take home for later. I have had great service each time I have been here and come by when I am in the neighborhood.

    The good: The restaurant is still pretty new and looks fantastic. They have a dedicated takeout area, so you don't get that awkward "go to the bar" issue with the hostess and bar tender. Their chicken parm and baked spaghetti are good, as are their meatballs and pizza. Be warned that the pizza is VERY heavy, and not the lighter, fluffy/chewy fare found at Sauce, North, or Federal. I'd put it more along the lines of Pat's Sicilian, Uno's, or similar "deep dish" or "pan" pizzas that are fully loaded up with sauce, cheese, and toppings. The bad: They removed their gigantic, delicious, affordable, perfectly toasted chicken parm sandwich. That alone is taking them from 4 to 3 stars. If you're looking for something lighter here, you really have very few options. The ugly: The golden bbq wings were the most disgusting chicken I've ever tasted in my entire life. I wish the description said they were basically mustard and nothing else. Thankfully the server swapped them out for an order of meatballs. The seafood pasta was also disappointing, with the vodka sauce being pretty weak and the noodles all sticking together in a giant clump. I've also received good service here. The chocolate chip cookies sold at the market/takeout area are pretty good, but a little bit too close to well-baked (not chewy/soft) Nestle Tollhouse for me to buy them for myself. Oh, and the parking situation is FANTASTIC due to them sharing Bashas' huge lot!

    The ingredients were great, but tonight's experience was very average. I don't think the Sicilian crust is for me - it almost seemed stale. The sauce had great flavor, but it was too rich and overpowering. The breadsticks were awful - stale, not warm. I would try this place again because again, the flavors were good, but the texture was not.

    We stopped in for dinner the other night and were lucky enough to show up during happy hour. We shared the $3 trio of meatballs and a $8 small specialty pizza...what a deal!

    I cannot give 5 stars mostly for one reason. By restroom seeting. Put up a partition separating the restooms from the dinning area it is not hard... Once you can get a table that is not in the restroom it is a very comfortable and nicely decorated environment. This is also the first place that I've been to that did a wrong order right. None of this "Sorry we screwed up your order we'll make it right for you but we have to take the wrong one back", and you'll just sit here getting more hungry as your dining party gets to finish their food. The server volenrarialy offered to let me keep the messed up order while waiting for the correct one, and didn't charge me for the meal. What else are you gonna do sell it to the next person that orders the same thing? I never understood that. But this location did it right. So yeah a couple of things went wrong but they properly corrected them. For that they get extra credit. -- just noticed a typographic error while reviewing and corrected it.

    The best pizza in town!!! "...so good you'll jump up and slap the person sitting next to you..." Yes, it is really that good. So much flavor; with a secret ingredient in the sauce that is so secret most don't know there is a secret. There are two signature pies that are vegetarian, that can hold there own against the classic pepperoni & sausage. Their "regular crust" is a thin crust, and they do offer a thick. Every pizza comes cut in squares.

  • CORA P.

    Went for pizza and order the meat pizza. Here are all the good things: the greeter was friendly; the server was friendly and attentive; the pizza crust was crispy, yet chewy; the meat and mozzarella were fresh and tasy. The negative? The sauce was SWEET. Yuck. I've had sweet pizza sauces in other cities, but the sauces in Phoenix tend to be on the spicy side. It ruined the pizza for me that this sauce was sweet.

    Order pizza for delivery at 8:30, 1hr delivery estimate. 9:52 I miss a call while I'm in the bathroom. 9:55 I return the call, no answer. Try again, no answer. Call main # at 9:58, no answer. They close at 10.. Never got my pizza.. Great customer service.

    This place is so crowded, my nephew and I waited for 20 minutes. But it was worth the wait :)) I like the layout to this place. Great vibe and my nephew had a blast here. He said he liked how there's tv here. Haha fyi, he's ten. We ordered the basil and tomato bruschetta, as a appetizer. It was delicious.. my nephew doesn't like tomatoes, but....He sure does now. :) Our entrée, we ordered the mama SIGNATURE with mushroom pizza. OMGGGG. Oh yes. the sauce on this bad boy was phenomenal, and the baby spinach on top was so goooood. Anddddd the crust. Whoooooooo. Goood job. It was heaven. the holy cannoli and the cappuccino is a mustttt. Service was okay. :) I shall be coming back

    Easy to find, Easy well lit parking, very nice looking building. Once inside, we were greeted and seated immediately...7:00 Sunday evening. We took a small table in the bar with stuffed chairs. Our server was there immediately with menus and for our drink order. A very personable and attractive young lady named Amanda...great attitude too. Prices on all items were rational and reasonable in my opinion. We ordered wine and water, perused the menu and finally decided on a salad and sandwich for my wife and spaghetti marinara with sausage for me. Drinks came quickly as did her very well presented salad. The salad was shared a bit and was crisp, cold and fresh with a tasty homemade Italian style dressing. Within 10 minutes, we each had our entrees. My wife's large turkey sandwich with chips was well made and well presented in a large basket. My pasta and excellent homemade sausage was in a good size pasta bowl and well dressed with marinara...lots of sausage just right on the sauce...the pasta was slightly al dente...just right...well cooked and firm. Amanda was checking with us every 5 minutes or so and keeping drinks refilled. Very attentive but not overly so. The bar area is filled with TV's and it was Sunday night football on all. No sound to interfere with our peaceful meal. The place is busy but not annoyingly so. As we were finishing our food, I engaged Amanda in a brief conversation about football in Phoenix and life in general. She was a bright and willing talker and our brief conversation was enjoyable. She brought us our check and cashiered for us as well. The restaurant interior is nicely furnished, adequately lit and architecturally attractive...a very pleasant environment. Noise levels are low and there's sufficient aisle space so that there is no sense of congestion. Overall, an enjoyable dining experience that I would happily repeat. I would recommend this to a friend. $30 out the door with a tip for Amanda extra.

    Came at lunch time and it was super busy. The wait was 45 minutes but we got got seated sooner. When I first arrived one of the bathroom stalls had no toilet paper. I didn't say anything because usually places like these do bathroom checks every 45mins-a hour. I went to use the bathroom again over a hour the same stall still did not have any toilet paper. I told the host when we left. Now here we go with the drinks and food. I had the mojitos and they were yummy. We had order a salad and while eating the salad myself and my friend felt a big crunch and noticed there was small pieces of rock in the salad! We told the waiter and showed it to him and he left. We never got an apology and they even charged us for the salad! We found a manager and they comp the rock salad but we were surprised that when we originally showed our waiter the rocks we didn't get a simple apology. Now the pizza was BOMB!! We had the Greek and Six pizza. I would recommend this place for the pizza but not for the salad or slow service.

    The first time I took a bite of Spinato's pizza my life changed. The sauce is sweet and so good. We usually get a large 16-inch, 3 topping pie for takeout at just under $21. Pretty reasonable for ulta-super bomb pizza.

  • Mia N.

    The decor of this place is really lovely. It feels modern, yet old-school Italian at the same time. The pear and gorgonzola salad I got was really nice, I think it would've been perfect with the addition of some beets! The only reason I give this place 3 stars and not 2 is because I liked the salad. On the downside, the pizza wasn't great. And for a place that is a pizzeria, that's pretty important. The crust was thinner than I expected and didn't have a particularly nice texture. It kind of felt like the crust on frozen pizzas. Also the sauce was WAYYY too sweet. Don't trust the reviewer who said the sauce is "slightly" sweet, it's SUPER sweet. So much so that I wanted to eat more of my pizza, but also felt sick at the thought of trying to eat any more.

    I went to Spinato's for the first time with some friends from work who had all been there before and swore by their pizza. Decided to give it a go and see what all the fuss was about their pizza. First off the new building they are in is really really nice. nice and open with skylights galore giving a nice day time feel inside and extremely open. We ended up splitting a large peperoni and sausage thin crust with a side Cesar. The pizza came out and it looked awesome. slightly greasy but being a professional fat guy I tend to get over something like that quite easily. Their sauce has a great sweet quality about it and the thin crust wasn't too thin but there wasn't a lot of crunch to it which i'm ok with. I know some thin crust purists would frown upon this but I don't care about them, this is my review! all in all it was some damn fine pizza and I will for sure be back to here and try out a few other items on their menu.

    Ate here tonight, had a slight issue but the manager took care of it very well! Pizza and apps were great, we had the meatball trio with vodka cream, the artichoke crostini, and the meaty pizza. All were amazing! Loved the food and the service, will definitely be back!

    Went into Spinato's because I heard it was started in Chicago and I was looking for a good place to go since I am from the greater Chicago area. Can without a doubt say I had an amazing experience! The pizza was to die for! The service exceeded my expectations! I learned a lot about the Spinato family and how it all got started. I also really liked the idea that it is still a family restaurant and they have decided to not join the corporate way. Loved Spinato's so much that I applied for a job!

    If you like really sweet sugary sauce then this is for you. If you want something like you might enjoy in Italy, forget it. These pizzas are sugar bombs. Whether you like the taste is personal but I don't know anyone that wants to call in a pizza for pickup, be told it will be ready in 40 min only to get there on time and wait another 25 min. At 10 minutes late, I asked how much longer. They couldn't tell me. Not a place I'm likely to visit again.

    New building is nicely designed. It has nice Chicago feel to it. Check out the brick ceiling in the bar area! The waiter was very nice. I ordered the chicken parmesan sandwich for lunch. It come with potato chips for $10. Mtn Dew was $2.80. After a $2 tip my check was over $14. So while it is a little pricey, it was definitely worth it. The sandwich was great with each half weighing about 1lb each with a lot of meat. They also had a perfect amount of sauce and mozzarella cheese. It also comes with a side of good potato chips. Usually these sandwiches are too dry or just lacking flavor. This one was neither. I would order it again in a heartbeat. Everyone else's food also looked great.

    We had a truly excellent experience tonight at our neighborhood Spinato's! It was our first time eating in the restaurant, and since it was an informal Sunday lunch we decided to sit at the bar. The bartenders were very attentive and super nice. It was happy hour by chance, and we ended up getting the small $8 pizzas (ummm amazing deal because their smalls are pretty much a medium) and they were both SO good. We ordered the fennel & sausage pizza, along with the chicken pesto. We also were brought out some garlic artichoke bread for free, since the kitchen had accidentally made 2 and they had an extra one. That was super good too. All in all, a really great experience with great food and great service. We will be going back for sure!

    Spinato's used to be better when they were at Glendale location now service sucks. They have hired many dreamers as servers who are clueless. And they favor smokers. When asked to tell some folks who were smoking within a few feet of the front door server said "I always feel awkward asking them to move" are you kidding it's the law Spinato's!!! Anyway they didn't care so I am in the process of becoming a thorn in their side. I have pictures of the violation. So I come prepared. I am in contact with the folks that have teeth in this type of matter. Get over feeling awkward you wimps. Anyway now you have a headache on your hands. Game on Spinato's!!!! U may want to get the help of your smoker friends. Folks there are better options trust me. Former customer who was dissed and used to spend quite a bit of money there. No longer. Do the same people.

    Spinato's is an awesome place. The pizza is always fresh, and there's a ton of different pre-built options to choose from. My favorite thing, though, is that you can choose to build your own pizza. The only thing that somewhat annoys me about building your own is that they charge by number of toppings, and some of the options apparently "count as two toppings." One of those happens to be bell peppers. I love bell peppers, and they're super cheap as pizza toppings, so why should I be getting charged double what they charge for pepperoni or tomatoes? I just don't get it. Other than that, there's really nothing to complain about. The food is delish, the service is on-point, and they have a delectible cannoli! Mmmmm I love me some cannoli. I also like that they deliver now! At their original location I don't think delivery was an option (I could be wrong) but now, as long as you live close enough, delivery comin' atcha!

    Mama Spinato's Signature Pizza is the best pizza I've ever had, hands down! My boyfriend and I have a monthly Spinato's date that started prior to their move to the new location and will continue as long as they stay open and we live in the valley. YES, it's that good. The crust is thin and perfect, the slightly sweet pizza sauce, the minced garlic, loads of spinach, diced tomatoes and cheese. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I've had other selections from the menu as well, including the Italian Beef sandwich, all have been excellent, but since trying the Mama Spinato's Signature I haven't been able to justify ordering anything else. The staff is always friendly and the new location is nice. I am originally from the Midwest and am familiar with their sister chain, Aurelio's, and I'm so glad I can come here and have a taste of home.

    Do not order for delivery!! I don't know if they are just experimenting with delivery service or what, but the driver couldn't find our house right nearby. we called (after it had been an hour wait at 630pm) and asked what happened to our pizza. spoke to a manager "Jeff" and he seemed indifferent and not interested when I asked to cancel the order and get a refund. very poor customer service compared to other restaurants. it's too bad because they have decent pizza, just make sure to eat there or get takeout.

  • Alexis R.

    I came here for dinner with my father, mother and son. We asked for a booth, but the waitress gave us a half booth. The problem with this is there were about 4 half booths along the same wall so the booth just ran all the way across the room. My son is three, so he kept crawling on the booths trying to get attention from the other people sitting near us. My son needs to be contained in a closed booth while in a restaurant. My dad ordered the chicken pesto pasta which I was going to order, but changed my mind. I did taste some of it and it wasn't very good. It was very oily and hard to eat. The flavor wasn't very good either. I ordered a thick crust pepperoni pizza which as okay. I felt the sauce was a bit too sweet. It was okay and nothing more.

  • Pam H.

    If I could give this poor excuse for a pizza place an absolute zero I would. The last three times I've ordered takeout--and I have arrived on time, by the way--the pizza has been cold. In addition, the staff couldn't care less and is completely inept. When I arrived today to pick up my pre-ordered pizza, I waited 45 minutes and again, it was cold. They offered another, but by that point, I wasn't about to waste more time waiting. I finally had enough today and asked for a refund. It was granted, but you can bet I won't be back and will tell all my friends to spend their money elsewhere. Even Domino's gives a crap about their customers.

    This will be a review only of their online take-out experience. The pizza itself was fabulous, but I've reviewed it at another location. This was my first time trying their online ordering system and their new location. Perfect. I ordered from the comfort of my home, and promptly (within 1 minute) received confirmation of my order, which said 45 minutes. I showed up after 35 because I like to get my pizza hot, and sometimes those wait times are sandbagged. The place was hopping, and I don't just mean the restaurant. Even their take-out side was packed. I was still greeted warmly when I entered, and waited upon promptly. It wasn't ready yet, but she went back tithe kitchen and told me it would be no longer than 9 minutes. Pretty specific, but it was absolutely correct. The nice girl helping me even opened the pizza box to double check everything was in order. They did this for everyone. I appreciate that, because I hate getting home to find a mistaken pizza. So do they. The place was immaculate. They just opened a month ago, sure, but the place was looking pristine. The goodies in their bakery display looked pretty delicious as well. I'll be ordering from them again.

    This place is very very pizza. Luckily for us we ordered takeout. They said about 30 minutes for the large pizza and bread sticks I ordered. We arrived at exactly 30 minutes (I was commuting from north scottsdale) and it was all ready and in their take out heating thing. I likes the fact that there was a completely separate area for the take out patrons (you don't enter into the main dining entrance). The large pizza is huge. I deep dish pizza is definitely a must try for all you bread lovers out there. We ordered Nicole's special and it was delicious. Only 4 stars because it is a little spendy and expect a wait for about 30 minutes for any takeout.

    There should be a rule for when a restaurant can name themselves Italian. Wine was horrible Ordered cheese ravioli that was drenched in nasty sauce from a jar. Then calzone sailing in nasty red sauce, we sent it all back. Clearly the chef has never been to Itsly.

  • Brad P.

    The food here has always been outstanding, regardless of location. One of my favorite Italian restaurants in the country . . . The sauce is incredible and Nicole's New Favorite pizza is a must if you are in the mood for a departure from typical. The new location is somewhat impressive, but I also miss the charm of the former, smaller spot on Glendale.

    Got a Togo order and maybe it's better at the restaurant but the pizza dough was soft and under cooked and the bread sticks were wrapped in this huge tin foil which maybe the very soggy and wet.not worth 26 bucks but like I said it could be better eating there

    We like the food and the location/building is super nice. So that's a good review. But if you plan on needing ketchup - like my son when ordering chicken tenders from the kid's menu - you need to bring your own. They didn't have any ketchup at the restaurant so I went across the parking lot to Basha's to buy some Heinz. It was a bummer that I got caught in line behind a guy who wasn't familiar with using his debit card so the process took a while before I returned to my family to finish our meal. 4 stars for a restaurant that doesn't have ketchup when they offer a kid's menu. Clearly this condiment continues its decline in American culture.

    This location is certainly a step above their old location on Glendale. I went here with a large party (about 10 people) and they were very accommodating. They had a table ready for us on a Thurs night in about 10 minutes. In the meantime, the husband and I checked out their (very large) bar. He had a snakebite, which was prepared incorrectly (the cider and porter were mixed together instead of layered, but at least it was reasonably priced at 5$), I had the Shandy, which was unusually made with porter and lemonade (most shandys I have tried are with a lighter beer). I really enjoyed my drink! I felt like the lemonade lightened the otherwise heavy porter. Anyway, the service was good for our large party and the food didn't take too long to come out. We had several pizzas, a spaghetti and meatballs, a couple small calzones, wings, cheesy bread, and a couple salads. The sweet chili wings were maybe the best item... just enough heat and falling off the bone... really good wings. The cheese bread was good, but come on, it's melted cheese on bread (can't really be bad). The meatballs were good, but could have had a bit more sauce. The caesar salad was a little too fishy tasting, but their italian dressing was good. I had the 'mama's special' personal calzone add basil and ricotta. This thing was very tasty with garlic, tomato, and spinach.... and at just over 5$, it was a great price for the amount of food you get (fairly large). I would come back to this location!

    I love this place, and although sad that they moved further away from my house, I am really happy for these guys in their amazingly large by comparison new restaurant with the separate take out door...such a great improvement over the 12th street mob scene. We usually order pick up here and although the pizzas are a little pricey, they NEVER disappoint. I am fan of the plain ol cheese pizza and these guys knock it out of the park. I crave Spinato's cheese pizza and I love the Chicago square cut slices. Always order these guys pie during a special occasion and I must say that I am hooked for life! Keep up the great work guys!

  • Tessa M.

    I've had Spinato's pizza numerous times and each time it is great. This time was not any different. The trio of meatballs was delicious and great amount of ooey melty cheese. Their pizzas are always great! The reason for my rating only being 3 stars during this particular visit is for the service. We got to the restaurant around 5:30 p.m. on a Sunday and the place had only a handful of people, but we still waiting about 15 minutes. Maybe they were getting ready for the dinner rush, so it wasn't that big of a deal. Once we finally got seated our waiter greeted us and took drink orders right away. After bringing our drinks we put in our order for appetizers and salads while we still made decisions on the types of pizzas we wanted. As we sat there waiting for our appetizers, the restaurant slowly started filling up. The waiter would constantly walk past us to greet and take orders from his other tables, so it was difficult to get his attention to place our pizza orders. When we finally got our appetizers and salads, the waiter was nowhere really to be found. We started eating the salads and appetizers, but slowly since we hadn't even had a chance to place our pizza orders and we knew that would take awhile. The waiter finally came by to take the pizza orders about 10-15 minutes after we had gotten our appetizers and salads. I've never been to a restaurant that took quite this long to place main entree orders. We ordered two kids pizzas, two medium pizzas, and two small pizzas for our group of 6. We knew the food would take some time since it was quite a bit of food and the restaurant was filling up for the dinner rush. About 20 minutes later all the pizzas came out. They had messed up on the kids pizzas, so they brought out extras which was very nice of them. Again, we didn't see our waiter for a little bit after our pizzas had arrived, so we had to ask another staff member for plates. Like I said in the beginning, the food was great! We saved some room for dessert, so once the waiter came back we ordered some gelato and a cannoli. The first set of desserts (one cannoli, one chocolate gelato, and one pistachio gelato) came out, without any utensils and one of the gelatos was in a weird clear bowl. I didn't think too much of it since the chocolate gelato came with the kids menu, so I thought that's why it came in the nice white dish. However, once the second set of desserts came out (one chocolate gelato, one pistachio gelato, one raspberry gelato) all in the same nice white dish I found it even more odd that the other pistachio was in a clear dish. The dish was clean, so we let it slide. When the second set of desserts came out, they all came with spoons and ready to go so the other half of our party was able to eat them right away. As for the other half (first set of desserts), we had to look around and wait for our waiter or another staff member for spoons. We finally got the attention of another staff member who brought us out spoons. As soon as she brought those spoons out our waiter showed up. To recap: The food was great. I liked everything that we had to eat. It was really the service, inconsistencies, and wait time that was lacking. I've waitressed before so I know first hand that when it gets busy it is difficult to give every table 100% of your time and attention. I don't expect that of any wait staff, but I would appreciate a check in every once in awhile. Especially, when we hadn't placed food orders yet and you're really focusing only on one or two of your tables. I watched a couple of other tables become a little irritated in waiting for the same waiter.

    Spinato's: Now better at nickel and dime-ing you than most airlines! I was super excited that Spinato's had moved closer to my neighborhood and happily walked there a few weeks after their re-opening. The new location is gorgeous and the outdoor seating area looks nice too. Our food was fine, pretty good in fact. The meatball appetizer is tasty and the pizza came out quickly. The big problem came when we were presented our bill. I ordered a regular pizza off of the menu but asked for the onions to be removed. I was surprised to see that I had been charged for a custom "make your own" pizza, which cost three dollars more than the pizza I had ordered. The waitress shrugged off our complaint as "that's our policy" so I had to escalate to a manager. The manager was very polite and apologetic but insisted that this was the owner's policy: Any time a change is made to a pizza it has to be priced out at a higher per-ingredient price. I argued that it was completely illogical to charge me more for something that actually had less ingredients but he suggested it was because the kitchen staff need consistency when something is ordered (evidently you can't have it your way here without paying handsomely). Naturally this fact is not printed anywhere on the menu. After much arguing and a million excuses the price was resolved to our satisfaction but I left with a bad flavor in my house...and not from the pizza. In closing. Spinato's has good food but be careful of what you order. With Oregano's and Pizza Heaven right around the corner there are plenty of better, safer choices and that's where I will be spending my money next time.

    I have eaten at four different Spinato's Pizza across the valley. I am a big fan of their food and was excited for them when they opened on 7th Street because the building is prettier than their old 12th and Glendale location. Yelp read my mind when it said, "Meh. I've experienced better." I ordered the Mama's signature pizza via delivery. It is not my first time getting a delivery order from them, so I was shocked when I felt the bottom of the box dripping with oil. I'm not exaggerating when I say the box looked like it had been floating on a pile of water before arriving at my house. I took a bite of the pizza and was even more disappointed. The crust was crumbling because it was loaded with grease. If I knew their quality would go down this badly after the change in location, I would have written to the owners everyday to convince them to stay where they were.

    I ordered delivery from Spinatos last week, despite the delivery charges. I've never had pizza from here before, so I gave it a whirl. I ordered a large Chicago thin crust. It arrived when promised, 1 hour, and it was hot and they had included a lot of crushed red peppers and and parm in the box, without needing to be asked. I was pleased, and the pizza was quite good. I'll likely order from them again.

  • Bob B.

    This is a new location for them and, from the earlier reviews here, they had a few things to work out. Well, they have. We stopped by at 6 and expected to have to wait, judging by the cars in the lot, but there were plenty of tables for 2-4 - hey, it can't be easy to put together seating for 14 but they did it that evening - twice while we were there. But I can't see there will be a problem for a couple or two. Service was top notch. We wanted two plates. A pasta to share, Chicken Marsala, and a pizza as second plate. No problem! The pasta was out in a flash and truly delicious. As we finished the first plate our pizza arrived. Hot, perfectly baked, and wonderful. I am rarely delighted by a restaurant but this night turned out perfectly. This is our new go-to pizza/pasta place and I can't wait to try their take out. You can get a pizza ready for the oven, or 3/4 baked for warming at home, or fully baked. Go here. Eat. Enjoy.

    I used to get take out pizza from the Glendale Ave location and always thought it was great. I ordered delivery from the new one on 7th St. It was terrible. Not hot, just barely warm. And I never would have realized how bad Spinato's pizza tastes when it arrives so off temperature. The next day I went down to Bashas next door for some groceries and stopped in to Spinato's to mention how bad my delivery pizza tasted. The manager was very defensive. Refused to apologize or admit anything could have been wrong with it. As I was leaving with my groceries in hand, the manager walked outside with me. I think to profile me socio-economically based on my car. I'm never ordering pizza here again. It was really bad and the management didn't care.

    We were seated immediately, our needs tended to consistently and the food was amazing! We had the meatball trio and the italian bread and butter as an appetizer followed by the BEST thin crust pizza i have ever had. The sauce has this sweetness about it that takes the pizza to the next level. This is for sure my new favorite pizza hands down!

    OSicilian style sausage, mushroom and onion with O'Dells IPA. Pizza- meh! Envisioned canned tomato paste on yeasty focaccia. Lucky to taste the onion, as sausage and mushroom was nil. Despite the mediocre pizza (at an inflated price at that) the vibe was pleasant for lunch meetings and after work wind-down. The beers were frosty, micro, and cheap- and the service was excellent we'll come back once more to try the thin crust. I'll be sure to ask for extra mushrooms and sausage.

    We have been going to the 12th Street/Glendale Spinatos for about 10 years -- since well before it was still a BYOB pizza joint years ago. We were eager to share the new location with family visiting from Boston and Oakland, along with my elderly parents on the eve of my Dad's 81st birthday. I know, you shouldn't go to a new restaurant in the first few weeks. But this is Spinatos -- they have 5 restaurants with a hundred years of experience. Surely they will open a restaurant right. Right? Wrong. We were there the same night as RD above, the Friday after Thanksgiving. This was a first week nightmare at the new Spinatos. 4:30 Called to alert them we had a group of 12 coming in an hour. They don't take reservations yet, but was told it would not be a problem since they have lots of room. 5:30 We were told wait would be 20-25 mins. Hmmm. OK. Went to the bar with our 12 (7 adults/5 kids) and had a drink. 6:10 40 minutes in. Hostess said it'll be just more 10 minutes. Just waiting for a party to pay. Said we could go next door to order ahead to save time. We did (turned out to be a bad move, b/c then we were "pot committed" to stay there....) 6:20: 50 minutes in. Hostess again promised our table was almost ready. I checked where she planned to put us and all the tables were occupied with new customers. 6:30: 1 hour in. We finally got to speak with a manager. He apologized profusely for their inept hostess staff that kept promising us tables that weren't there...Said it would be another 25 minutes. 7:00 90 minutes in. Finally seated at a mishmash of different sized tables cobbled together in the back room. Food that we had pre-ordered almost an hour before we were seated still took another 15 minutes to arrive. Half our party had to leave as soon as the food got there. We packed up the rest and left shortly afterwords. EXTREMELY disappointing. The kicker: a table of 14 that got there AFTER us was seated BEFORE us. "Why?" I asked. "Well, they called ahead" I was told. Are you kidding me -- so did I, and you don't take reservations. In the end, the manager's discounted our meal, and I tipped the servers well -- it wasn't their fault. But mere money can't make up for a truly lousy experience -- on what was to be a big, happy, stress-free family dinner. Spinatos: Train your people to tell the truth and deal with mistakes quickly and honestly. To paraphrase the Dread Pirate Roberts/Westley, "We are people of action; lies do not become us."

    Went for an evening dinner. The restaurant was packed but we found the service poor, unknowledgable and food was so so. We ordered the calzone and found them to be well cooked, but flat with not a lot of ingredients. I usually expect a place like this to have a good selection of beer, but were out of two of the taps and had not gotten in any seasonal. The IPA was very nice, but I would have liked to have more selection.

    I have been going to this place since I was a teen. Decided to go to the newest location and wow its so big! Food was just as good as always.

Will continue to eat hear.

    Atmosphere was pretty, noisy though. Bar area is nice. Food was very good served very hot. But had to wait a ling time for drinks ( they weren't that busy to warrant that). Then after food was served had to wait for plates server forgot for eating Calzone. The servers were all very pleasant but inept. I ordered a pasta dish, $10.95. I asked if it came with bread or salad, was told it did not that i would have to order bread separately, I did, and then when my pasta came it did include one piece of garlic toast. Spinatos has always had great pizza. In the future I probably won't go to dine in, but just get take out pizza. Then I don't have to tip for service I didn't get. I would just as soon go to Babbos for pasta and their unlimited yummy bread if I want to eat in.

    Went here tonight around 8/830 with my boyfriend for the first time to see what the rave was about. From what I remember this was voted the best pizza in town so we decided to give it a try. The location itself is beautiful and the menu has a variety of options to chose from. We got the garlic bread with the marinara which was excellent. We also ordered the combo pizza which was okay, but not anything special. This place sits right between oreganos and Olive Garden in my book. For such a nice building I was surprised to receive a plastic cup and a paper napkin. The place was good but not enough to bring me back. Our server was nice but never once checked in on us or offered anything else to us. We asked for the box, check and dessert menu and had to request her to put our order in. This place didn't do anything for me but I can say I've tried it.

    New favorite pizza place in town! As a cubby kid I like good pizza with all the bad stuff on it. And they know how I like it! Btw the cookies are yum too! I ordered by phone and picked up so this review is solely based on TAKE OUT. The wait was a bit long when I got there but worth it! It's a popular place so a little wait isn't that big of a deal, esp. When it's good and a fair price! And don't the cookies.

    Okay, open for a month...still needs help. Short wait, beautiful decor...No light over our very loud bar table. Got food, but where is the appetizer? Oh, it didn't get put in! Had seafood basilico, fresh seafood taste, not masked by the complete lack of spices. Seafood broth/sauce completely flavorless...Better with the table spices added. Wife had the vodka pasta Chicago style, she enjoyed it! Waiter offered a free dessert, we declined. No discount, no petks...not returning anytime soon. As a Chicagoan, always preferred Rosati's over Arullio's anyway!

    OMG, I am totally in love with Spinato's Pizza. I went there for a colleague's birthday lunch and have fallen in love with their Italian food. I had the most amazing calzone which was stuffed with steak, peppers, spinach, sweet peppers, ricotta and mozzarella. It had a side of ajus sauce and their house made marinara sauce. I want to go back for happy hour and enjoy that calzone all over again but this time with one of the yummy beers that they have on tap. Also, the service was awesome although we were about 14 people deep!!!!!!!!!!

  • Daniel A.

    Service was timely (we sat at the bar) otherwise it would've been a 35 minute wait for a table... eekk. Pizza: fair price for its size. The cheese may have been overcooked? otherwise. I ate that pie up. Beer: must have been the end of the keg that might have been a bit old. The brew itself was in my opinion too chilly and took away from the already maybe flat beer. Girlfriends pasta was not terrible or exciting. Kinda like watching the Macy's thanksgiving day parade... Bartender was attentive and friendly. Definitely a plus. All in all, I live across the street and wanted some ZA so we took a chance and were given a decent experience and may one day come back.

    There is no other Pizzeria in the valley that even comes close to Spinatos in taste and quality. Check out their newest location. Restaurant is beautiful. Everything from the pizzas to the calzones are amazing. I have lived all over the country and I would recommend Spinatos as one of the best family run pizzerias in the country.

    We LOVE this place! Having visited this restaurant many times when they were located on Glendale Road, I was glad to see them open their newly remodeled location. It is so much bigger, spacier, and upgraded. It did lose a little bit of that personal feel but the same great taste is there. Many of the crew from the old location came over and they are just as nice and friendly as before. One of my favorite things about this place is the sauce. I can't begin to describe it and you just have to taste it for yourself but it really brings something to their dishes. This is apparent because they do sell it to go as well. There are many great pizzas to choose from here and all are delicious. One of my favorite things to try are their calzones that are stuffed with spaghetti and meatball and you will not be hungry the rest of the day!! A must eat local pizzeria! They have several locations in town and all are great!

    The best service I've had in a long time. I've been a server/bartender for 8 years and I was very very impressed by the bar staff at spinato's on 7th St and Missouri. They were prompt friendly and make some of the most well balanced and refreshing cocktails. Brody was our bartender and he made me a perfect jalapeño margarita. I don't often leave reviews but between the conversation and great food and drinks I was compelled to let the community know that if you're looking for friendly knowledgeable staff with great drinks and pizza you should stop by !! Thanks Brody me and my friend had a great time! !

    Husband and I decided to stop for some pizza and wings. Thick pizza was OK but the wings were delicious! The restaurant has a nice fancy theme and the bar was beautiful. ( I only glanced) The only thing that does not match is the employees! For the restaurant looking very nice and elegant the hostess and servers were in jeans and running shoes?? One server even had a bandanna in her head! It just didn't go together. It made them look lazy and dirty.

    Fantastic food and service. We held a surprise birthday lunch for one of our team members and the General Manager, food server Megan, and the rest of their team made sure it was a great success. We were already fans. MEB team members are now 'raving fans!' Thanks Daniel and Team.

    My Brother and I went and ate here for lunch, the server was nice. But the food was very plain and had an awful flavor. We both got a different pastas but we only sent back one becasue we didnt want to look ungrateful. The sausage in the pasta was very good, same with hibiscus tea. My brother ordered a blue moon but it was flat, that was a little dissappointing as well.

    New addiction, Spinato's Steak Calzone. First off, I have never been a fan of Calzone's as they typically are heavy on dough and light on ingredients. This is quite the opposite at Spinato's. The dough is light and flakey and fillings are full and flavorful. The calzone also comes with a side of beef au Jus. Warning, the small size at $9.00 can easily feed 2.

    When I have a coupon or deal, I like to double check to make sure they'll still honor it. I had to ask three people here if they would honor it no one knew and no one offered to find out. Food was fine but the sauce is very sweet. Not what I expected. Booths were large enough to be comfortable.

    The amazing customer service is always consistent. The customer service compliments the food, perfect! Definitely far from a chain restaurant, this place gives me reason to support local family owned businesses. I showed up with a party of 9 (on a sunday night 6pm) and was seated in less than 5 minutes. The only thing that was poor service was our server on refilling drinks. Other than that I had a place, the atmosphere is upscale without the expensive prices. They have a HUGE bar and patio.

    I ate at another location on W. Bell last August, and I can attest to the fact that both places pizza tastes the same: slightly sweet. So, if a somewhat sweet tomato sauce isn't your thang stay away from Spinato's. However, it doesn't bother me, and I did love the meat pizza and the spinach one. Which one was best would be like Sophie's Choice for me as I loved them both. This location is very pretty compared to the other, but both are good. I like Spinato's myself. Good service, decent pizza. AND the server even asked us what type of crust we liked, so you can get thick crust or thin or medium--whatever--which I never had before. We had a Black guy who said he was an ex-Marine, but I didn't catch his name (Brandon? Bradley?), but he was excellent so the group tipped super well to him. It was a gooooooo, and now I'm even fatter than I was this morning...LOL! And I ate it all without a care about even one calorie...yeah, that good!

    Sooooo amazing. We had a veggie pizza, and a spagetti calzone. I cannot say how happy I am with the food. We even got a pizza uncooked to go. The service was amazing. Would return any time. I can say that if you do not like the regular pizza crust you won't like this. It is similar to a dense focaccia.

    There was a 30 minute wait, so we decided to order from the to-go section next door. There was a table right out front, so our party of four just sat and waited there. They provided us with glasses of water while we waited. Our pizza was ready 30 minutes later and we just ate at the table out front. The pizza was delicious. All-in-all, not a bad 45 minute visit that would have taken much longer if we would have actually waited to sit and order from a waitress.

    Great food, service and atmosphere. We drive a ways to get here but loved it. They have gluten free pizza, too. The one up north has good food and service but not the expanded menu and new building and decor you find here.

    My GF and I had an early dinner this evening! As expected the cocktails were good, food was mediocre but the service was disappointing. I worked in the business for many years and as a server I welcomed having people to serve. After all, isn't that's what I was hired for? It astounds me when we are treated as an intrusion versus a source of revenue to the business. This evening after ordering and served cocktails we were treated like we had some sort of contagious disease. The food was brought by another server. Our server did not ask us how our food was even though she checked on the table next to us 2-3 times without even once asking us how our meal was. Did not even glance at our table as she walked by us numerous times. Sneaky suspicion we were sitting at a table for four versus the two of us and she was upset she was not getting that early evening dinner rush. Felt like we were being ignored so we could leave and she can get four people at the table. Pretty damn rude! Well, needless to say, last time spending my hard earned money there. Plenty of other Italian places around with better food and after this place, much better service! At least I know my business will be appreciated.

    We love Spinatos! We have been to the Tempe, Scottsdale, and their previous Phoenix location before they relocated. We picked up a pizza to go tonight and it was as good as always. Their new location is beautiful and they were packed!

  • Anita L.

    I really liked this new location and enjoyed the pizza as much as always. I had the mushroom pizza and it was great, One my companions had a personal pizza and the consensus was that it had a digiorno like taste so stick with the medium pizza or larger. Their homemade cookies are also delicious!

    New site at 7th st and Missouri looks spectacular. Can't ask for a better looking building. Food was great as usual from spinatos. We ordered a side salad each with the main course being the meat pizza. The side salad was a full bowl serving and if you are a light eater it is good to know that. Since I am not a light eater I was happy to see it. The pizza was very good but a little over sauced for my liking. The flavor of pizza from spinatos is always great and has a sweet tang to the sauce. This location is close to where my wife works and gives me another reason to travel down there. We will be back for sure.

    Sooooo, where do I start? OK, if I were just judging this place on food alone it would be 5 stars! I had an italian beef dip sandwich and it was great! So much flavor and very filling! Unfortunately for this establishment we don't just rate on food alone. Service: SLOW! OMG it was slow. We went around 130pm and it was totally dead. Only a few people eating. I know this is a time for the place to recover from the lunch rush but I feel it is a good time to see if they have really good service. If they can still provide great service while doing their tasks then they have done it! This place failed horribly. Our waitress was very friendly...when she acutally was around. Next, DO NOT ORDER A PITCHER OF DRINKS! Our waitress told us it would be enough for 4 people. There were three of us so we thought it would be a good deal... it was $24 and we got two and half drinks out of it. We problably should have complained about it. Anyway, go for the food but just know your service will be crap. As long as you go in with low expectations on the service you won't be dissattisfied.

    Same great food just a new/better location. If you're used to the location near 12th St and Glendale this is definitely an upgrade. The restaurant is a lot bigger and can accommodate many more people. I went for the first time last night and yet again had a great experience. There was a lot of people so I had about a 20 minute wait. I would recommend calling ahead to make a reservation. Relaxed atmosphere huge bar and patio area. Also this location has it's own take out area so you want be cluttered in the host area like the smaller location.

    Best pizza in Phoenix. I went there with a friend, granted we went on a Friday, but we waited 45 minutes, when we were told it would be 25-35 minutes for a table, only to be told we should probably just order at the bar. I would hesitate to dine in again, and this was in the new location, which has easily triple the seating of the old one.

    Spinato's is my favorite pizza place in all of Phoenix. The pizza is simply incredible! The customer service is great too. For example, for my birthday I had a party and invited some friends. My birthday is July 5th, and Independence day was on Friday. I had spoken to the manager previously, and she said that because I was ordering a number of pizzas that I should order them a day ahead of time. I tried to call on July 4th, but the restaurant was closed. I was in a bit of a panic, as I had already hyped up the pizza to my guests. On the morning of my birthday, I went to the restaurant itself. I knocked on the door a full half-hour before the restaurant was set to open. I talked to a wonderful employee by the name of Gabby and explained the situation. She let me in and took the order and promised that the pizzas would be delivered by 5:00 p.m. There was not one hint of irritation, and I never felt like I was being a bother (although I probably was). I went away feeling like my birthday had been saved. At 5:00 almost to the minute, the pizzas arrived. The delivery person was polite and friendly, and my guests loved the pizza. I can't say enough great things about this place. I highly recommend it. I'm not sure what's going on with other reviews on here that say the service is horrible because I certainly didn't see that, and I never have any time I've been there.

    First, I must say I LOVE Spinato's! My family has been going here for years and will continue to do so. But, I am giving the new Spinato's on 7th St only 4 stars for a few reasons: 1. The bar and patio are great but, the dining area lacks the charm of the old Spinato's. I feel it looks similar to seating in a Denny's or cafeteria-style restaurant, not cozy, no charm! 2. The new bread on the DaVinci is not as good. It's on too much bread and the bread is harder, which makes the sandwich difficult to eat. I now ask for it to be lightly toasted so the bread isn't too hard. 3. I picked up a pizza last night and asked for 2 ranch dressings. I was charged $1.01 and received 2 tiny containers, each about 1/2 full with approx. 3/4 of a tablespoon of ranch.... Really?!?! I found this to be grossly overcharging and disappointing and told the waiter my feelings. If you are going to charge for ranch, at least fill the tiny containers. 4. I miss to-go cups! I get food to go a lot and would love to get an ice tea or Pepsi with your fabulous pellet ice to enjoy with my meal. These things excluded, I would give Spinato's 5 stars! The Mama's Spinach and Super Six pizzas are my favorites, the spaghetti, meatball and ricotta calzone is a yummy masterpiece, the antipasti salad with their house Italian is a perfect starter and I LOVE the pellet ice (although you must request it if you are at the bar). If you go at peak times, prepare to wait but, it will be worth it!

    We arrived a little after 6 on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was also very soon after this location opened. Although we were told we had a 30 - 35 minute wait, we waited over an hour. There were 7 of us, however. We have long been fans of Spinato's pizzas. They have been our go-to, locally-owned pizzeria. The remodel of this outdated building is great. They really did a fabulous job with the design. The patio with fireplace is great. We also enjoyed the expanded menu. Prices are still reasonable, and the service was perfect.

    Same story as most bad reviews on Spinato's. We where excited to see them building such a nice restaurant on 7th street, literally watched the progress everyday as I drive past it on my way to work. We finally found the time to go out to dinner for my mother in laws birthday. So we arrived at 6:45 on a Friday night expecting a long wait. Wait time was 60 minutes (so they said) After an hour and thirty minutes we still had not been seated. Did I mention we had three kids with us? Not a very fun wait! Finally we asked if we can go ahead and order our food and the young lady advised us to call in!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! SO after a very polite I don't think so you can get someone up hear to take our order. Needless to say we where finally seated after a one hour and forty five minute wait. Waitress could have cared less that we waited that long. Pizza and salad was great as usual. They need more large group seating. Spinato's if your service was half as good as your new building you guys would rock it, stop the bleeding. I really hope you can figure it out!

    Had dinner at the bar last night. The food was good and half price wine on Wednesdays was a nice surprise. Service was OK but not great given there were only a few people at the bar. Once we received our bill it appeared both entrees were mispriced. We asked our server and she asked the manager. Turns out my sandwich did not include cheese which was extra even though it was not presented this way and the menu makes no mention of it. It also does not show as an add on the receipt. Also turns out our server rang up a different but very similar pasta dish than what my wife ordered. We got sorry both mistakes were my fault from the server and sorry the menu is confusing from the manager but no offer to take responsibility for it. They basically said we screwed up but you are still paying for our mistakes. Left a very bad taste for both my wife and I. We eat out a lot and there are far too many good places to eat in Phoenix than to eat at one that is at best poorly trained and presented and at worst misleading and still refuses responsibility when they admit they have done wrong. For $2, they have lost two customers for life. Having now read a number of comments on Yelp, it appears there are more issues like this than you would expect and their misleading and aggressive pricing is a pattern. If you do choose to eat here, be extra diligent about what you are ordering and ask if anything you have ordered is extra.

Pizza

Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.

Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.

Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

Italian Cuisine

The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.

Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.

If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
