Spinato’s Pizzeria

Well seems they were closed for some reason. But there was an older person inside that had no problem knocking on the window as we put down something on there door so we could pull out our phones and see where else we could go eat lunch. We were going to trash it after (I was going to make sure of it). No talking other then to bitch about what we had done and make sure it was removed. No information or sorry they were closed. Shame as I’m a local and had 3 new co-​workers who wanted to try this usually great place. Great 1^st image you created for yourself and for the Valley with this attitude! Even I might think twice now before going to this location maybe even all locations. Time to hire people who know customer service even if you were closed a «I’m sorry we are closed due to… We hope to welcome you back soon» would of been a nice touch. Not happy.

Excellent sausage pizza and garlic cheese bread. They use high quality ingredients and both items were perfectly seasoned. I will definitely be telling friends and business associates to eat here!

Their dining room is really small. We were at a booth but the table in the middle was only about a foot and half away from us. It was loud.
The pizza was good. When we go back we will definitely sit outside or get it to go.
The bar only seemed to have wine and beer. No cocktails. :(

This restraunt is a small little quaint pizzaria we waited abt 20 to 25 mins to get seated the service was great service Nick was our waiter and the manager was also great he was very friendly and helpful. Then to top it off we got the great six with hot peppers and garlic bread and a strawberry gorganzola salad. The pizza was by far the best pizza that I have ever had. It is a place I will be back to for sure.

Pricey but good.
We got pizza to go last night and found ourselves pleasantly surprised. We ordered a large thin crust with plain cheese and a large thin crust with onions and meatball. The two pizzas were over $ 40 but as a special treat they were worth it. We ordered just after 5 on a Friday night and were told it would be a 40 minute wait. The restaurant was packed when we got there and they were ready as they said they would be.
Their sauce has a hint of sweetness that I really enjoyed and they don’t skimp on the toppings. The crust is soft and perfectly chewy. I realize that’s not everyone favorite but that’s how I like it.

This location is convenient to our new house so we decided to check it out… could it be just as good as the Tempe location… we were about to find out! We ordered the meatballs with marinara sauce, cheesy garlic bread and also a thin crust pepperoni and sausage. Yes we were hungry… so the apps came out first. The meatballs were delish! The sauce was so yummy and the garlic bread was good as usual. The pizza though… it was good… BUT, the dough was a little on the soft side that night… pizza wasn’t sturdy at all… the flavors were there though, so of course we ate it with no complaints. Hopefully it was just an off night, or too much cheese on top, idk. But we’ll be back. We still enjoyed our whole meal :)

Decided to try something new… this place was awesome!!! We started with the cheese bread, slightly cold by awesome flavor! Pizza sauce is slightly sweet and amazing! My sister got a dinner salad with their homemade garlic ranch, it was good. My husband got the meatball sub –amazing! My sister and I tried the classic crust Chicago pizza with pepperoni added – omg delicious!!! We ended the night with the special dessert, red velvet ding gong. This thing had the hardest shell ever but again we were impressed!
I love pizza, this is one of the top fives for sure! We will be back again… if you haven’t tried it you need to! This place does it right!

Spinato’s has lost my business forever. Yes the pizza is excellent, however something must be done about phone orders. I was bragging to my mother in law, who was visiting from out of town, how incredible their pizza is. I planned on picking up a couple pizzas on the way home from work. I call first at 6:45. An answering system says I’m 3^rd in line. After 5 minutes it kicks me off and sends me to voice-​mail. I tried again about 8 times within the next hour. Same thing. Except one of the times it said I was 2^nd in line but I still got booted off after 5 minutes. Ridiculous! I totally understand that places get crazy busy. But they should have someone actually answer the frickin phone! Hire more people if they have to. I gave up around 7:45. I ordered from Isa’s instead. Great pizza and they have the decency to answer their customers phone calls despite how busy they get.

I’m sorry but how do u screw up a simple pizza delivery? I even called back to CONFIRM the delivery address and my name, delivery address and phone number in case there was a single issue? How do u screw this up!!! I called a third time to ask where our pizza was… since we are opening a new optometry office and our kids are here hungry… while we unpack and organize. When I called a third time asking where our orde was… I shockingly was told it was attempted and no one answered!!! Omg!!! We have been here all night!!! I went with Spinnatos because their food is good… but I’m pretty sure papa Johns would have at least been here as promised… with food for our family and not made excuses for idiot staff manning the phones and screwing up orders… never ordering from here again.
Called a fourth time to ask where our food was… now an how and a half late… I’m now told its on way… yet girl who answered on my forth call to confirm delivery address gave me the wrong address yet again!!! This is rediculous and impressive…

Our waitress Maria was PHENOMENAL. The food was amazing. Great portions and fresh ingredients. Definitely somewhere I would take family when they visit.
Try to get seated with Maria!

If you think dealing with a foreign tech support rep is frustrating DON’T try to phone in a order for pick up from this place. The experience will leave you with a yearning to throat punch someone.
This was my third attempt. If the pizza was not so good I would not have tried after the first experience.
The auto attendant is annoying and does not shut up while you wait the customary 5 – 10 mins.
Eventually someone will answer and most likely put you on hold for another 5 – 10 mins, unless they inadvertently disconnect your call when they attempt to put you on hold.
When that happens, and it did 2 out of three attempts you really have to ask yourself why a simple task has to be so difficult.
It’s a shame because I like the food and the only way to enjoy it without enduring BS is to go down to the restaurant in person.

Best pizza ever! I love «mama’s spinach pizza» and I never would order something like this usually. But everything about it is exactly right. One thing unique about their pizza is their sauce. It’s got some sweetness to it – nothing overpowering, just an undertone, but I think some people might not like it. Some other things to try are the meatball appetizer, the Greek salad, and the spaghetti calzone.
Note that there are several locations and they are not created equally. The one is Tempe is really small with only a handful of tables. The one in Phoenix on 7^th is huge but it’s really missing the «family pizzeria» feel. This location on Bell is the best. Plenty of tables, including a great patio, friendly staff, and consistent food you can count on

We had the Sicilian pizza and spaghetti calzone. Good stuff! Their cannoli was delicious too!

We just moved to 32^nd street and deer valley. When we found out Spinato’s delivered, it was as if we won the lottery!
We love this place. Sweet Sauce Pizza, Fresh Ingredients, nice people on the phone and very nice delivery drivers.
This place Rocks!

Spinato’s pizza is like crack pizza: super addictive, delicious, and hard to put down. What makes Spinato’s pizza the best in the Valley is that it addresses the common complaints of pizza lovers everywhere, and just kills it:
— Man I wish there was more sauce on this pizza! — Spinato’s puts a loving extra drizzle of sauce on top of it’s pizza.
— Man this pizza is too thin, it’s like I’m eating cardboard — Spinato’s creates a deep dish pizza, not as thick as Chicago style, but hefty enough to be filling and doughy.
— Man these pizza toppings are overcooked, not fresh — Spinato’s takes the time to put in quality ingredients, with the right amount of tasty proportions.
Spinato’s combination of doing everything well ultimately results in some of the best pizza out there. I cannot recommend this place enough!

My boyfriend and I come here at least once a month. Food is amazing. It gets busy from like 4 – 7 so we usually wait until after the rush so we can take our time. Fridays they have $ 5 off a bottle of wine which is nice.

Delicious food!!! Will definitely be coming back! Everything I’ve tried here has been amazing. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because the waitress seemed angry the entire dinner. She smirked once after asking how our gluten-​free bread was, as if making fun of the choice. Hopefully it was just an off night for her!

I love Spinato’s! You seriously can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. My favorites list goes on… absolute favorites would be garlic bread with cheese (I don’t know what they put on it that makes it so amazing), the Da Vinci sandwich, meatball and ricotta spaghetti calzone, super 6 pizza, and any of the pastas! We have been going to this place since I was a kid and it has just gotten bigger and better. Must try, you won’t be disappointed!

I have never had a pizza like this before. It’s definitely a unique family recipe!!! It’s like a sweet sauce kinda, to die for bread and cheese… Can’t stop thinking about it truthfully. I’ll be back soon!

Amazing food! Wonderful service — tastes like true Chicago explosion in your mouth! We will be back again and again!!!

Have only ordered from here twice but there is some major inconsistency so far. Ordered 3 large specialty pizzas a few nights ago for a gathering and thought they were great. I did notice they were quite undercooked but since the flavor was so good I was able to overlook the soggy pizza in hand. I read in reviews before ordering that a lot of people ordered their pizza well done so I figured that was the trick.
Ordered them again tonight and ordered the pizza well done. Also ordered an order of garlic bread. 1 large 1 topping pizza and garlic bread for delivery came out to $ 27 +. Seemed way too much but it was so good last time I thought it was worth it.
Received my order and the pizza was very well done… like to the point where it was incredibly dry and had no flavor. Couldn’t even taste the sauce since it was so well done (the sauce was the best part too). I did ask for it to be well done but I’m not quite sure how to order it where it’s not severely undercooked and not severely overcooked.
Worst part was, my garlic bread came looking like it was an old order they threw in the box. It was rock hard and cold and tons of crumbs and little pieces of bread all over the box. Maybe it’s just a packaging issue or maybe it was an old order they threw in. Either way, I couldn’t eat it.
Not quite sure what to think of this place, I was really excited about a good pizza place that delivers to me but now I’ve lost the excitement. :-(

Great pizza. It costs a little more than some places but well worth it. I reccomend the signature pizza.

This is legit pizza, and I am a real tough critic when it comes to pizza. We ordered two pizzas: Italian beef pizza and a sausage/​mushroom/​black olive pizza. Their sauce is sweet, but not too sweet. Their Italian beef with giardiniera pizza is the best version I have had. It’s clear that the Italian beef is made in-​house. The sweet sauce balances the spice in the giardiniera perfectly. Thier sausage was good, but not the best I have had. I like fennel sausage with a little more flavor. Overall, the pizza was great. I will be going back to try an Italian beef sandwich.

Hidden gem of the North Valley. THE PIZZA IS FANTASTIC — this is coming from a Chicago pizza snob, and yes, real Chicago Pizza is tavern, NOT deep dish. This is thin crust with a sweet sauce, unlike any I’ve ever had. I wish I lived closer, I’d be a regular. Great staff. TIP: Line out the door at peak times, for good reason, so plan accordingly.

Great service/​great food!!!
Did I mention the pie???
Manager Tim stopped by to make sure everything was great.
Don’t forget the pie!
Btw: don’t forget the pie.

Awesome pizza place! I smelled it from the gas station across the street and 2 days later I was having a date night with my bf there. Short seating time, friendly service, and a simple menu. We ordered the cheese and artichoke crostini for an appetizer. It was basically cheesy artichoke dip on ciabatta bread. It came with 4 pieces and was easy to eat and saved us from using too little or too much dip ourselves. For pizza we ordered the small (11 in) chicken presto pesto and it was delicious! Chicken, artichokes, purple onions, alfredo sauce, and a pesto drizzle came together swimmingly. We finished all but 2 pieces due to the crostini. I’m typically very picky about my pizza crust but this was great. :)

We came to see Maria after not coming a few weeks. We were sad Maria was on vacation. She is the best!
We were upset that the price of the meatballs went up $ 2 on happy hour. The savings is $.95 from regular menu… not much of a happy hour savings.

I USED to love them when they were a 1 location restaurant off of Glendale. Maybe they had more, but I felt is was very hole-​in-​the-​wall, mom and pop, with great quality and care.
Tonight we ordered from the Bell Rd location. We asked for light sauce, and the pizza came without sauce. There was way too much spinach overload on the pizza, and mounds of garlic that made every bite taste just like, well, garlic.
Their breadsticks with mozzarella was the equivalent to poor man homemade breadsticks. Melt the cheese on a slice of bread.
Not impressed.

We tried Spinato’s Pizza for the first time on Friday, Sept. 4^th for dinner. We selected Spinato’s because my adult daughter has Celiac Disease and Spinato’s has gluten free dishes on their menu.
We were greeted by the friendly hostesses and seated right away. Our waiter was very friendly and he answered questions we had about entrees and pizzas on the menu. He was very knowledgeable. We were served our ice teas and soda’s right away. Our order was placed and our food came out fresh and hot. My daughter and I had the gluten free garlic bread for an appetizer, she ordered the gluten free 10″ pizza called Nicole’s New Favorite, I had the turkey PLT and my husband ordered the Italian beef sandwich. Everything was fresh and tasty. I would highly recommend this establishment if you would like to eat authentic Italian cuisine.

I love Spinato’s! I have only gotten the Mama’s Special, but it is always delicious. We did a take out order, and the staff was friendly. The pizza was ready when they said it would be.

Our son just moved to PHX and lives just up the road. A friend of his recommended we give this place a try.
Holy cow, this place was good! We ordered a large pizza for 3 of us and split the toppings between 2 different ingredient combos. I was the one eating only the toppings because I’m low carbing. We barely finished this pie! Also had the antipasto, which was so fresh and delicious. Awesome dressing.
Guessing our son will be a regular. Not sure if that’s a blessing or a curse!

Pizza Heaven. I have yet to try something at this restaurant that isn’t brag worthy. Salads are amazing. Spaghetti Calzone is out of this world. Their sauce is sweet. No need to order extra sauce extra cheese because it isn’t meant that way. In my opinion, the sauce is made at this level of sweet so that extra sauce isn’t required. Extra cheese and you are drowning out that sauce that is to die for. If you are an extra sauce kind of person, ask for it on the side. Truly, they have their menu down to a science. Another plus is that they have a take & bake option. As well as a jar of sauce for purchase to take home. They have outside seating for when great weather emerges. Waiting area is a bit cramped but I suppose that is why the bar is right there. They hire great staff — friendly and attentive. Highly recommended Spinato’s.

I have been the biggest Spinato’s fan since the once small pizza parlor had one location in the valley. It has been exciting to see them grow. I guess what I like the most is the service is always the same no matter which lcoation you dine at. Even the food it consistanct.
I recently dined with my family this past Mother’s Day. The whole crew my family, friends and I came in to dine at one big table. We ordered a variety of all the fixings so we can all have the pleasure to sampele each other’s favorite entrée. The portion size of our pizza, garlic toast, cheese toast and salads were reasonable. I tried something different this time. I went with the Gluten Free Pizza. Boy was it yumm! I did not feel like I was missing out on anything. Matter fact it was so good not one person at the table had an opportunity to sample mine. It was gone in no time.
Everything is made fresh at Spinato’s. They have some of the tastiest freshhome made sauces. Be sure to check out the website. You can order food to go.

Have been going to spinato’s for quite some time and have never had a bad experience.
They have the best tasting crust around and generally my family leaves the crust for the dogs but with spinato’s the dogs do not get any treats.
My favorite pizza is the «Get Meaty» which has sausage, pepperoni, ham and Italian beef. I good mix of meats and is loaded in total weight.
No matter what what pizza you order they will cook it to your liking. Have had the Italian bread which is good but don’t get filled up on it before the pizza arrives.
Lime this location but generally have been going to the 7^th street location on the way home from work.
Will be back again for more pizza.

Really really thought this was going to be a shining five star review.
Ordered the cheese artichoke bread appetizer and it was freaking amazing… so so good. Then a Greek side salad that was so big two people could split it. It was awesome… best Greek salad ever.
The ordered pizza with all the meats. Came out all perfect, beautiful baked crust, elevated on a rack so it stays crispy.
First bite… so good but something wasn’t right. The sauce has so much sugar in it. It was ridiculous.
Moved on to the spaghetti with vodka sauce with homemade sausage. The sausage was great. The sauce was so sweet it was unedible. So sweet it was almost sickening.
I really had high hopes after the ratings but it makes me realize people do not know what makes good Italian food.
My grandmother used to have a stock pot on the stove for the entire day or longer letting the sauce simmer and develop flavors and a body that would compliment the entrée it was on.
Note to everyone: marinara does not have a 1 to 1 tomato and sugar ratio.
