Prima Pizza

It’s okay Pizza thought I’d stop in cause I always pass this place on my way home the lunch special is what drew me in.
The place had the right style of pizza for NY but was missing something for me. Maybe it was lacking flavor?

Great calzones and grinders, and Ashley is the most beautiful gal in the east valley. First time here and we’ll be regulars. Dine in or order out.

Being from out of town my brother was seeking a good pizza. So I did a quick search on another app. We opted on Prima Pizza and we chose the Hawaiian Pizza.
We started with a order of Garlic Knots while the pizza was being made in front of us. The Garlic Knots were perfect with a dipping sause. A thin crust Hawaiian made its way to our table. The crust was perfect. The flavor was excellent Mr. Bud the owner made our pizza with skilled hands.
The booths are comfortable the tunes are a mix of late 70’s and 80’s classic rock and roll. You can also see a TV or two up on the walls to keep you mentally occupied.

I’d say it’s a very good pizza place I’ve tried the pizza wings and calzone very good very crisp wings the way I like them at least and it reminds me of western ny which is a plus finally a good buffalo style pizza place! The owner tries very hard and is very friendly.

My review is based on customer service only as I wasn’t able to even order food. Walked in, was barely acknowledged by the woman behind the counter. As she finally came to take my order I began and then stopped to ask if she could break a $ 50 as I had just lost my debit card. She said no, hit some buttons on her machine and just turned around to go back to what she was doing. She was so rude I will NEVER go back.

Decent local pizza shop in a strip mall. The cannoli is made fresh to order, which is a plus.

This place is amazing!
Very friendly staff. Very informative on what was available. Allowed this picky eater to order according to taste and it came out correctly!!!
I ordered the pasta. It was delicious. Noodles cooked just right and hot. The sauce was so delicate and light tasting. Not overpowering of one ingredient over another. The pizza is New York style and paper thin… just the way it’s suppose to be. Very foldable. I’m so jealous that I didn’t order that!!! (Next time!!!)
Will definitely come again. Best $ 5.00 lunch special!!!

I have been eating here for about 6 years now, and I have never been let down! The pizza in my opinion, is the best I have found in AZ. The crust is the perfect thinness, the cheese is so savory, and their wings are just delicious. Their wing sauce is the best! This is my favorite neighborhood pizza place that is always consistently great! Great job Prima Pizza!

The pizza was thin, had a good taste but very greasy. We had the garlic knots and they were super greasy and weren’t as great as I was hoping. The drinks had a weird taste to them as well. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because the staff were really nice and genuine. It might be a good place if you had a nice buzz.

Everything was awesome!
Great service! Great Food! Great people!
Pizza was tasty. Wings flavored just right!
Cheesecake and Canoli’s were splendid!
Great environment, most importantly friendly staff!
We must all remember to support the mom and pop stores and step away from the subpar food and service at the big chain stores
The quality of the ingredients aren’t even close to that of the big chains. They mass produce and prepare their food. The smaller places have to purchase in smaller quantities and use fresh daily prepared ingredients. Big difference
We were pleased. Keep up the good work!

White eggplant pizza. Not on the menu but they excel at it. Ask nicely and you might get one. Probably the best I have had.

Great sevice! Fantastic cheesecake !
Great pizza! Would come back! Thanks Prima Pizza!

I ordered a to-​go order from this place and they were amazing. Were at my house within an hour, the pizza was so delicious I’ve been wanting to order from them ever since. The garlic knots were very oily, which isn’t my cup of tea, but my husband really enjoyed them. We also ordered pasta which was perfectly saucy and delicious.
I realize that I’ve also eaten here several months ago when the new owners took over. We were skeptical because we really loved the previous owners and the way they cooked their food, but we were completely happy with the new owners as well! I ordered wings which were exactly what I was looking for taste wise, they were perfect and my husband kept stealing them off my plate. My son got a slice of pizza and my husband ordered pasta, both of which were delicious (according to them).
The only issue I had several months ago was that the soda tasted ‘plastic-​y’ but since my delivery order last week I can tell you that the soda tastes fine now.
The new owners here were very inviting and friendly and I would 100% recommend this pizza place to anyone who was looking for a friendly atmosphere and good pizza.
The remodel they did looks great and is bright and inviting with huge tvs.
I understand why there is a minimum dollar amount for order, and if they allowed every person to be a few dollars short, what would be the point of having a minimum dollar amount? Order an extra drink and enjoy! They’re worth it!

I’m am really not liking the new people. They are rude and don’t care about their customers. I was 1.00 short for pizza delivery and they snubbed me. They would rather lose 1.00 over 22.00. It’s ridiculous. And then tried to explain why they can’t lose a dollar. I literally live right behind them. I’ve been a dollar short at thai chili which is not a franchise they don’t even ask. I’m not buying a whole pizza to compensate for a dollar. I’ve never had worse service. I thought I’d give it one more try since the last time I tried it new owners new taste. Not a good one. But now I don’t want anything to do with these jerks.

Hands down, the best place ever! We were thrilled first grub hub order and the owner delivered himself. Quality is great and the customer service is phenomenal! These guys are awesome.

Great place to have a couple of slices of Pizza. We come from Illinois where there are so many great places to have Italian food. So far this place has been the best we have tried in Mesa. Crust was nice and crisp. Nice little place kind of hidden but well worth finding.
Hope this place stays around for a very long time.

Really good New York style pizza with out the hype.
Crispy crust with a decent amount of grease on top… Yummm :-) I had mine with anchovies and my husband ordered his with sausage… We we’re both very happy! Skip Casanova ‘s … (Bland pizza… Doughy crust plus you wait FOREVER to get your order) prima’s was cheaper, better, faster!!!

OK Something is wrong with this picture. I am seeing 1 stars then 5 stars back to 1 stars. I think Unilocal needs to realize that this biz has changed hands a few times. Maybe give these folks a chance and just go by the dates that these owners took over the place. I went here on a whim. I remember my son saying that he thought is was close to a little mom and pop spot that we both used to work at. Our previous employer had great pizza and incredible Italian. This isn’t about them though. Let me tell you what I do know.
Very friendly people when you walk in. I met Bud the owner and his Head Chef. Damn nice people. We talked shop a little and he even asked me if my son was looking for work. I ordered a slice of cheese while standing at the counter. I was impressed by the slice pies and the size of the slices. I am a Boston girl and I know my pie. NY style pizza is a little greasy, the cheese stretches from your mouth when you take a bite. It is messy people. That is what makes it so damn good. This place is definitely doing something right. There is only one other time I have had pizza that good and that was at the previous job. I stopped eating pizza out here cuz I couldn’t find the real deal. Well here it is. Cassanova Brothers holds nothing over this place. It;s all frozen there. I tried it twice. I didn’t review it because I don’t do the whole negative review thing. This place is a gem. I will recommend them to anyone I come across looking for pizza. I highly recommend it. Stop in for a slice and a conversation. I will definitely be back. I am looking forward to sampling the calzone and the eggplant.
When reading the reviews pay attention to the dates because I guarantee the current owners have received more positive than negative reviews.

I almost feel bad leaving this review, but I think the owners should know. My kids and I stopped in here a few nights ago to pick up food to go. When we walked in we were overwhelmed with the smell of sewer. Ew, it did not smell like pizza or Italian food at all. We ordered 2 slices cheese pizza and the garlic knots to eat at home.
The garlic knots were so extremely full of butter and grease, we spit them out. They were inedible. And the pizza tasted like it had been sitting out all day. It was also super greasy. I don’t know how you can get cheese pizza and garlic knots so wrong. :(We love to support small business, so I hope Prima Pizza improves.

Just ate lunch here. The service was so so. The pizza was decent but not anything phenomenal. I ordered the garlic knots which came out slightly cool and dripping with grease. I was hoping to find a nice little local pizza place but left thoroughly underwhelmed. I won’t be coming back.
Edit: just received a «compliment» on my review from someone who I suspect is either an owner or a friend of the owner. They accosted me for not discussing my issues with the owners, and then went on to state «I wish you luck with your life, it appears you need it». I’m sorry but this is flat out bad business. If they had noted my issues and asked me to give it another try I would have, and this edit would potentially be much different. I would encourage the ownership to look up a few recent incidents where business handled poor reviews badly, it can and will take you down. Listen to your customers, they hold all the $$$.
Good luck to you as well, I suspect you will need it too.
