The Hills’ Pizza & Desserts

The pesto pizza was out of this world, the meatballs were moist, flavorful & cooked to perfection! And then the desserts… my absolute favorite with a twist, pineapple inside out cake — delish! And my husband loved the Michigan cherry — brought back childhood memories! All around wonderful lunch!

We really enjoyed our first visit here. Great ambience with cute décor. Off the beaten track but worth going to.
Tues there was a guitar player that was very enjoyable with easy listening & not invasive of our experience.
The food was really good. I had eggplant parmigiana & hubby had spaghetti. Good flavor sauces & nice portions.
Service was fine & owner was welcoming & friendly.
We are looking forward to many return dining experiences.
The bread is flown in from Philly weekly & tastes amazing too!
Go. You will be glad you did.
Great neighborhood place

My Husband and I are down here in this area for a work seminar. We couldn’t decided what we wanted to eat and so I went on Unilocal to see places near by and The Hills popped up and we said let’s try it ! We order pizza and wow they did not disappoint! So happy with the environment and very clean ! It’s a little Ma and Pop restaurant but that’s what makes this place and the FOOD!!!
PS were first timers!

Best NY style pizza I’ve had in years. Wings were tasty and Zeppolis were fantastic. Prices were very fair. The place is homey and clean. We will definitely be back!

What a wonderful evening! Love the décor as well as our food, drink and best pie (other than mine). Please support this new establishment! Can’t wait to go back. Maybe tomorrow for pizza? Maybe Tuesday for the entertainment? The owner is really trying and I hope he succeeds. Please fellow Unilocal users, go to this restaurant !!!

New York Style Pizza, Great Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna and the chicken Cutlet salad is great. Super reasonable prices and a nice menu. Lots of pizza choices as well. The owner made a balloon rose for my mom and she loved it. Great Jazz on Tuesday nights. Really nice family owned restaurant. Convenient, tastefully decorated and reasonably priced. We have been here 5 times now. First time was just for dessert, then had to come back for meals. This is becoming our friday night thing. love it.

Excellent pizza, fantastic crust, chewy and flavorful, homemade lasagne, great meatballs and spaghetti… a welcoming owner who supports the community and reasonable prices. We highly recommend and will be back, even though we live in Queen Valley!

If you are thinking of New York Style Pizza, THIS IS THE PLACE. It was the right thickness, had the right amount of fresh cheese (from New York), and the sauce wasn’t too sweet or tart. Great pizza worth the try!

Great food, great service, great Jazz on Tuesdays. Just heard Judy Roberts. Amazing!

Moving to Fountain Hills from Manhattan, New York, 20 years ago, there’s lots of things to love, but the pizza was not one of them. Discovering the Hills’ Pizza was a jolt of nostalgia and good eats. The food is excellent, right on the money, priced right and very friendly.
If you’re looking for NY restaurant-​style pizza with all the trappings, the Hills’ is your go-​to.

The Hills Pizza and Desserts is a quaint pizzeria tucked away north of Fountain Hills. While we dined in, Ken, the new owner made balloon animals for the kids and engaged in friendly conversation with everyone. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. We ordered the special — 18″ Sicilian pizza with a dozen chicken wings (BBQ & Spicy) for $ 20. We paid extra for additional toppings. The pizza crust wasn’t too thick and the crust was perfectly. The tomato sauce had the right amount of spice and zest sprinkled with just the right amount of cheese. The chicken wings were meaty and the sauces tasty. For dessert, we decided to take home a Pecan and Almond Joy Pie made by a Pie shop in Mesa. These were rich, but delicious. It’s obvious that Ken is passionate about making this THE neighborhood pizzeria. It’s always great to see owners playing a big role in engaging with their customers, taking the time to get to know them and providing them with the best culinary experience. To add to the experience you can find Judy Roberts and Greg Fishman, both Jazz greats in their own right playing there on Tuesdays. He also encourages local photographers to display their art. A dining experience is more than just food and The Hills’ delivers this in spades. Our total bill came to $ 33 which was very reasonable considering the amount of food we ordered. It’s great to have The Hills close by and we have become frequent customers.

This place is Delicious! Me and my family love their Pizza and Subs, the desserts are amazing. Everything we have ever tried wether it be pizza or pasta has been awesome. Dining in is fun because the owners are extremely cool and actually engage the customers (most places around here don’t) and even make balloon animals for the kids and teach the kids how to make them. They even have live jazz once a week. We do takeout a lot and every time we get it home it is just as delicious. Love Love Love This Place!!! Highly Recommend It Pizza Lovers!!!

We really liked this place when it was Mojo’s — new ownership and new name, and the menu states that it’s still serving Mojo’s pizza.
Before last night, we’d been once under the new ownership, I believe shortly after they took over. We just hadn’t had a chance to go back until recently.
I’ve heard a number of complaints from my local friends, but because I once loved this pizza I thought I needed to give it a shot for myself. So we called for pick up and were told 25 – 30 minutes. We got there and no one was dining in, there were 2 people waiting on to-​go orders and two people behind the counter. The staff was nice, one of them I recognized from before and remember him being helpful and nice.
We got there probably right at the 30 minute mark. The gal asked our name and went back to check on the pizza and came back and whispered something to her male counterpart — as I recall, they both went into the back (or maybe she did) and then she came back out and told us it’d be 10 minutes. It was a few more than 10 minutes, because it was a solid 60 minutes after we phoned in our order that it was brought out to us (cell phone time check).
I’m a little disappointed — yeah, the pizza was slow and we may have been forgotten about. Hey, sometimes it happens, we’ve all screwed up at work. BUT we didn’t get an «I’m sorry» or «thanks for the wait». Not even when he brought the pizza out. I don’t know if this is an employee issue or a management one — or maybe a bit of both. The very least the employees could have done was to acknowledge our wait; an acknowledgement goes a long way. Management’s fault is not empowering the employee with the ability to say, «Sorry for the wait, can I offer you a soda while you wait?» It costs nothing to acknowledge and only a few cents for them to offer a beverage while we wait.
AND, you never know, I may have purchased a beer if offered a soda. Thus a bit more income to the day’s sales.
The pizza … the reason why you go to a pizza place. They still use sliced sausage, instead of ground, which we usually prefer. I felt like there was less sauce on it than there used to be (their sauce REALLY was good, no reason to skimp on it in my opinion). Among the complaints I’ve heard about that the pizza is very greasy. We ordered pepperoni/​sausage, and with that kind of pizza comes an expectation of a certain amount of grease. I don’t think the pizza was greasy beyond that of my expectations. I DO think, however, that the pizza was a little more soggy in the center (although, I did always ask for ‘extra crispy’ when I called them because I have always thought their pizza slice a little softer than I care for). You know how a Napoletana is softer on the inside and almost tears apart? That’s kind of how I found these slices.
After talking with my husband, we think it’s a temperature problem. We don’t think that the pizza oven is hot enough, thus the soggy center.
The taste was good, though, and I am pleased to see their continued use of the sliced sausage.

This used to be Mojo’s. Liked them last year when we were in the area. Tried them tonight and was disappointed. Got a large pizza with sausage and pepperoni. Toppings were lacking and pizza was swimming in grease. Didn’t finish it cause it wasn’t that great. I know they are under new ownership hence the name change. Not sure if they have the same cook or not. When I went inside to pick up pizza they had jazz duo entertaining a nice crowd. I hope they do well but sorry to say we won’t be back.
