Red Devil Italian Restaurant & Pizzeria

We ordered a large pizza and hot wings. The pizza was too salty but the wings were delicious. We ordered out so cant say much about the service. They are pretty pricy$$$$, So if you are in the mood for some great hot wings this is the place to go, but if you want a great pizza I would go somewhere else.

Closest I can get to east coast pizza in PHX. Good price, quick and a well done crust. Hold the ranch ya jabronies!

For dinner take-​out I ordered the Chicken Lasagna. It was amazing!!! So much flavor & right out the oven. The parking lot was packed so the dining experience must be good; I’ll have to dine in next time.

Always great Pizza and Wings. The wings are deep fried, but good. The pizza is one of the few pizzas I like with thinner crust, but it has good sauce the crust isn’t crispy hard thin. More like NY or Boston style. The ambiance is a bit old school, looks like they have had the same wooden tables and chairs for the past 30 years, but I do like it. It has an old school Phoenix vibe, which there aren’t many places that have that anymore. They also have good lunch specials.

The reviews on this place are pretty high so I was excited to check it out. I ordered a pizza and a calzone. Both were decent but nothing too exciting. I’d be interested to try them for dinner and see how their pasta and other dishes are.

This is where u wanna go when u want to meet up with all your family and pay for the tab lol it’s cool and really good wings

We stopped by here since it was on the way home and ordered a pizza to go. I didn’t have the chance to go in and have dinner, so I cannot comment on service inside.
There is an outdoor window for takeout orders an you can watch as the pizzas are made.
The wait wasn’t as long as thought it was going to be; the person who cashed me out told me it would be over 30mis AFTER my card was charged. Luckily it only took 15 – 20 mins MAX and we were on our way.
The good part is that the pizza is very fresh as its VERY busy. I liked the taste of the outermost crust and the toppings were generous.
The sauce was a little sweet for my taste; I prefer a more savory sauce paired with most dishes.
The bottom part of the crust was much more soggy and didn’t hold up to the toppings, this was not good as it took away from the pizza in that I almost wish the whole crust could have been like the outside. It makes me think that maybe it was streched to much or not cooked enough.
I don’t know that I would try this restuarant for dinner, especially if the sauce for entrees is just as sweet. It was just ok to me and not a place I would go out of my way to head to.

I’ve been living here in the area 16 yrs and had never visited this place till recently. I love the atmosphere, specially the wings, pizza, and most importantly the premium beer prices. just hate the parking. One of the waiters mentioned that it gets very packed on the weekends and one could expect over an hour wait. Luckily for me, I’ve gone only on Sunday and during the week. I highly recommend this place for happy hour or a family night out.

Oh Red Devil, how I missed you so. I can’t recall how long it has been since first experiencing pizza from Red Devil, but it has been a long time. I was in the area tonight and decided to hit the old place up with a buddy (fellow Unilocaler Joey L.) of mine. Upon entering, I remembered the place like it was yesterday. How, you ask? That would be because it looks the same inside as it did a million years ago. That may bother a few, but I love the old time feel. It brings you back to going to a restaurant for the food and food only. As for the grub, my friend and I started by knocking out an order of 10 wings coated in their medium NY sauce. I had to ask our waitress what the sauce was made of because it was that good. She stated the sauce is a combo of hot sauce, butter, and vinegar. Whatever it was, I wanted more. For dinner we had the Devil Special Pizza, which included pepperoni, sausage, onion, green pepper, and mushroom. The pizza was great. The crust was soft and firm in all the right places; while the cheese was very cheesy, and the meat was very flavorful. Definitely one of the better pizzas I have had in some time. On a side note, the ranch provided for the wings was very good and was not watered down as many pizza joints seem to do these days. Since I use ranch on my pie, it’s a big deal to this guy. Overall, a very nice meal.

Absolutely our favorite place to dine-​in! Friendly service and delicious food!

First time at red devil tried the combo pizza and was impressed. Middle was a bit soggy but I guess that’s to be expected with so many toppings. Flavor was spot on.

Being a native, I can’t believe I have never ben here before! The place was packed which is always a good sign. We only waited like 5 minutes on a Saturday night before we were seated. We ordered the boneless wings which weren’t anything spectacular, but the pizza was great! We had the Red Devil Combo pizza, but they all looked and sounded great. I will definitely return.

We went for our anniversary lunch. It was so good. I had the stuffed manicotti hubby had spaghetti. Calamari as our appetiter. It was cooked well not rubbery at all. Service was good and yes we took home cheesecake with strawberries. Soooo good.

Absolutely terrible. And I haven’t even received my food yet, but it’s been so bad that I need to leave a 1 star before I go crazy.
We were told a ten to fifteen minute wait. It was 40 minutes. Waiting was in the bar with super loud, rude, obnoxious people.
After 35 minutes, the hostess sat another group who came in after us. Did I mention I was with my mother and 4 month old baby? When we were finally sat, the waitress was nice but SLLLOOWWWW. We put in orders for waters and 2 beers. They came out in about 15 minutes. While we were waiting for drinks and food, we saw another party get up and leave. The clueless manager shook her head and said, «why would anyone leave?». If you had bothered to stop at our table and talk to us (even though you talked to the tables around us?), you would have known.
My wife ordered some fried mushrooms and zucchini. Below average to pretty bad. Her salad was eh. We got a standard pizza, and it was bad. Soggy in the middle, too dry on the crust. The sauce was mediocre and the sausage was pretty gross.
It was just a bad overall experience. Do NOT go here.

I live close by this location and I’ve been wanting to try it for the longest time so yesterday I did and it was a waste of money. I purchased the Philly Steak Sub and it was all bread, mushrooms, and green peppers, very, very little beef. My dog wouldn’t even eat it, it went in the trash. I also purchased the large Antipasto Salad that smelled like it just came out of a bag from the grocery store that was loaded with chemicals, it also went in the trash, very disappointed. I should have just went to Giuseppe’s on 28^th, their food is always outstanding!

The pizza and wing deal is not on the menu but they do offer it! It’s a must when I come here!

This is the best pizza that I’ve had in town. Consistently good for 40 plus years. Salad is also super yummy. The bread is to die for good also. Never anything but good food.

Holiday lunched catered from this original Red Devil location.
This is a favorite every year for the past 12 years with my employer and it’s always consistent and so yummy.
I look forward to next year’s dinner, but try to make the trek across town to enjoy this authentic Italian restaurant.

I was introduce to this place a few years ago by a friend of mine. Since then I’ve eaten there quite a few times and pizza is not the only thing they serve. There pasta dishes are excellent too!

Ive been coming here for years and years. I have always loved the pizza, service and tiramisu! I always get the same thing but occasionally when I bring friends, they order different things and I try them. Always delicious. The cheese sticks are perfect, the garden salad (you can get get small or large, small is big enough for 2 – 3 people) is pretty plain but the house made italian and bleu cheese is great and then there’s the pizza. I’ve tried a hell of a lot of pizza and this is definitely up there in the top 5. Seriously, no bullshit, just great pizza with delicious sauce and it heats up perfectly fine, too. I’ve had just about every server in there and service is always fantastic. Try this place, you won’t be sorry.

Have been going there for years, usually ordering pizza or different pasta dishes and usually everything is great. However, I decided to add the Chicken Apple Walnut Salad to our take-​out order. What a mistake! The mandarin oranges were mushy and slimy, the bottom of the lettuce bowl was drowning in a ‘grey water’, the lettuce was limp and old and the chicken that was in a separate serving cup had strips of totally burnt/​charred pieces of something… I tried a couple of pieces and had to spit them out. The dressing was so overwhelming and had a weird taste to it as well. That’s probably what made me sick for the next two days. Who knows… It’s too bad, because it’s on our way home from work. Won’t be back… at least for any salads!

I have eaten at this location 1 time i dont know if it was time of day but had an Italian beef sandwich threw up for two days not good

I have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years. I still think that they have the best pizza and also have a great Italian menu to choose from. From manicotti, spaghetti, salads, and great service. Very authentic.

This is the original, long standing Red Devil restaurant that has been in this location for many decades. When you walk in, you’ll notice even the décor hasn’t changed. This is affordable, Italian comfort food at its best. They also happen to make the best hot wings! (The pizza is not bad, either).
For some reason, their ‘medium’ hot wing sauce is a mixture of hot sauce and BBQ sauce. I think its disgusting. But the mild and hot are normal. However, for me the mild is just too mild and the hot is just too hot. Well, they also offer a ‘New York Mild’ which isn’t quite medium, but is very flavorful with a hint of hot.
I recommend ordering the wings crispy, New York mild. Soooooo good!
I wish they would serve celery with the wings and I wish they served Coke instead of Pepsi. Those are my only complaints…
The staff is always friendly, there is never a long wait to receive your food after ordering and its not too difficult to get a table on a typical busy Phoenix Friday or Saturday night. And did I mention how affordable it is?
10 wings = $ 7.99
1 soda = $ 2.49
1 Small Garden Salad: $ 3.59
Of course they have manicotti, ravioli, speghetti, etc… Lot’s of Italian comfort food to choose from on the menu. This is my favorite place for wings!

Great place for old school pizza and wings. Bare bones restaurant in dire need of updating, but good pizza. While waiting for a table, I ordered a glass of house cab, not good, but I drank it anyway.

This is the best pizza in Phoenix. If you have a chance to have Carol serve you, you will learn about more options than I ever knew existed and my family and I have eaten here for 29 years.
I bring all my friends from the Midwestern states to try this place and most want to eat here again as long as I don’t go along. I guess they like the PIzza better than my company and my wife doesn’t blame them!

Best Pie in TOWN!!!
If you are looking for the best pie in town, I would recommend this place. Consistently the best pizza I have EVER eaten, and have been here since I was a toddler! The staff at the bar is EXCELLENT — they are so friendly, nice, and professional. Great drink deals, fresh ingredients, and I haven’t tried them but I have heard their meatballs are something to write home about :). Awesome establishment.

If you’re craving comfort Italian food, this is absolutely your place! Come casual, it is definitely a laid back atmosphere. Red Devil has been a favorite in our family since I was a small child! In fact, for a while it was our Friday tradition!
My favorite {& I literally get it every time –SUPER unhealthy, but worth the cheat day!} is the Chicken Romano. It is DEFINITELY enough for two. It is two pounded out, super thin chicken cutlets, deep fried and floating in garlic butter, lemon, green onions and Romano cheese. Can you say YUM?! I always get it with a side of their spaghetti marinara (You get to choose a side of your choice). It also comes with a salad — their ranch is AMAZING. I know, this meal is worth a whole week of calories but it is seriously delightful.
I promise you won’t be disappointed at Red Devil!

Ive been passing this place for years, I have ate their pizza and I like it so this review is for dining only.
I finally stopped in with some friends for dining, they arrived first I was the last to get there we ordered shortly after that (nothing fancy) and our food arrived about an hour and fifteen minutes later — apparently they blame the chicken parmesan as the culprit for the time delay. Other tables got their food in a reasonable amout of time and yes the place from not bust to very busy while we were there, but still our food order went in first.
Then, it was as if the 5 guys in the middle of the room went invisible and no one came buy. I have the grilled sausage sandwich and it was okay, wasn’t the best Ive ever had.
I think I’ll stick to pizza from this place and leave the dining alone.

I wanted to thank you for such a wonderfully good time with my family the other day. We were gathering to honor our aunt who passed away a few days prior. Your restaurant has always been a friendly gathering place for my family in good times and bad. We call it «comfort pizza». The service was very patient with our sometimes rowdy group, and the food was terrific as always. I had arrived quite early from out of town and killed some time in your bar. A special thank you for the great service from Stephanie. She made a very difficult time fly by. I’m so glad we met there.

I have been coming to this place since I was in Kindergarten. The thing I like most about this place is you can see the pizza being made right in front of you. Outside of the restaurant they toss up the dough, work those arms, place the pizza sauce and toppings and place it in the oven. As a child this was my favorite part about coming to the restaurant. I could sit there all day and night watching them make pizzas. Now as an adult, I bring my children here because this place is a special place where I shared many childhood memories with my father. My kids love their pizza and wings. Although I have only ordered two other different things on the menu ever, I stay traditional with the pizza and wings.
Their food is your average, nothing short of your neighborhood Italian restaurant. They could use a remodel inside. Service is always with a smile and food comes to your table in a timely manner. If you are visiting this place on a Friday or Saturday evening, you may need to bring a couple of extra minutes with you for the wait time. My children and I continue to make happy memories here and I hope they continue to do the same when they have their children.

This used to be my «go to» pizza place back in the late 70’s, and I suspect what many places have tried to copy since opening. The outside order window can’t be beat, and I don’t know of any other place like it… the only thing missing is an outdoor place to sit and eat.
Last night (Saturday) was a typical busy night, and I appreciated the attitude and patience of the employees, as the entryway is tight and crowded and not a lot of places to sit and wait for a table, let alone stand. Fortunately it had stopped raining and waiting outside was an option.
The pizza was better than expected and I was surprised it was as flavorful and fresh as I remembered. I guess I shouldn’t be, for Red Devil is still around and as popular, if not more so, than it was back when I was a teenager and didn’t appreciate quality like I do now… oh, and my 3 yr old granddaughter thought the cheese pizza was great! Passing on a tradition is going to be fun!

We were driving around trying to find a new restaurant & came across Red Devil. We took it as a good sign that the parking lot in front of the restaurant was completely packed & the extra parking lot off to the side of the restaurant only had a couple of empty spaces. When we walked in, we were promptly seated & the first thing we noticed was that this is very much a family-​style restaurant.
After taking a look through their menu, we decided to get the fried zucchini & mushroom combo for appetizers and the barbeque chicken pizza for our meal. While we waited for our meal, we were served two rolls with butter which were good. The appetizer was also good — crunchy breading & not greasy. The barbeque pizza, as the previous items was good too — lots of barbeque sauce, chicken, & onions. Some bites tasted a little burnt so it was nothing to rave about. We ordered the 10″ size which had 6 pieces … I’d say this was the right for two if you’re hungry & also get appetizer to share. Lastly, we finished off with snickers cheesecake. I personally wasn’t a fan of it, especially compared to other cheesecakes I’ve had in the past.
Overall, the impression was that everything was just good … Nothing great that you’d rave about to friends & family but nothing bad either; we’re undecided whether or not we’d go back.
