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.
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.

Went there yesterday to meet a group of old work friends. I called last week and tried to make a reservation as there were eight of us. I was told they don't take reservations. We were there a little after 11 am and when we got to the front of the line were told we would have to wait an hour and fifteen minutes to be seated. Ridiculous. We left and went to Arribas next door. We were seated immediately and great food and excellent service.

I heard this place opened up in February and my parents and I decided to try it out for an early Father's Day lunch. We got there at noon and they said we would have to wait about 30min for a table- fine. 15 min or so we were seated. This feeling of this restaurant is kind of like chills or Applebee's. Very CASUAL. This is an Italian restaurant that doesn't serve bread with cheese and olive oil. The place was very busy and semi-loud. We got our entrees and I ordered angel hair pasta with Alfredo sauce and chicken. Mom got a shrimp with spiral pasta and dad got a lasagna. Dad loved his lasagna and devoured it, mom got a mushroom appetizer which she finished and since she is a slow eater she wasn't able to finish her whole meal, so she took it to go, but she said it was good, but they give you only 3 jumbo shrimp, apparently that's a 1/2ib of shrimp. My dish on the other hand was below average. I know my Italian dishes very well and this was disappointing. There was almost no Alfredo sauce in my pasta, which made my noodles very dry. I ate the middle which has the sauce, but couldn't finish the rest. It took me forever to hunt down our waitress and I even asked another waitress to find ours! When she finally came I asked her if she can bring me a cup of Alfredo sauce and just pop it in the microwave because the whole time I was looking for her my dish was cold. She said "how about I just being you a new dish" I was shocked, but said ok thank you. She didn't have to do that and I get kind of bad having them do that over. Anyways in 5 min they bring it out again and the dish is worse than the first one. The chicken instead of spliced was like pulled pork all over my plate and once again where the heck is the Alfredo. The worst part I had a black ladies hair in my dish. I took it out and didn't say anything because I didn't want to wait any longer I was hungry and both my parents were almost done eating. I ate it but trust me I have made better at home and I didn't enjoy it. I won't be back to this restaurant. When a customer is looking around trying to locate a waitress and 3-4 waitresses walk past noticing me staring why not come up and ask if I am ok instead of just walking past me? I realize you're not my waitress, but I thought this would be more like a team environment. Trust me I know it's tough and a lot of pressure to work at a restaurant, but try to smile and work together better. Like I said I won't be back. I miss my bread and olive oil with parmesan cheese. Not a true Italian restaurant. I'm from Chicago too and they have Chicago style stuff but I am too afraid to try it.

Marcus was our server and he was GREAT! Our service w a great and most of our food was good we had 1 pizza that was cold but they took care of that. We will be back again!
(5)Paul C.
Despite the 15 minute wait for two people the service was really awesome not sure if the busy crowd mistakenly made for a bad visit the pizza was a little less than what I expected however they made up for it with their customer service first time guests I reviewed 3 stars
(3)James W.
Poor design!!!! Restaurant can hold over 100 people and you have a bathroom with only one toilet!!!
(1)Tony A.
Service is good. But checking in is another story. If you are not white you will wait. I'm Mexican. I was told 15 min or 20 min. No we waited 1 hour 20 min. Pass us up twice. Better at tempe,Chandler, Phoenix. Not here......

I will tell you a little story. TheHubby and I tried to go 2 times and finally went to Oregano's 20 minutes before they opened last Saturday. About 6 other cars were already in the parking lot with people waiting. Fifteen minutes before opening people started LINING up. We waited until they opened the door 10 minutes before 11. am. We were about the 10th party in line. We chose to sit outside as it was a beautiful day. We had decided what we wanted to eat while we sat in the car looking at the menu on line. After we were sat our waitress, who was one of 3 bartenders working that morning 2 of them waiting on people outside, came by. We order drinks, appetizer, and pizza all at the same time, 5 minutes of getting in the door... so 10:55 am. We waited 15 minutes to get our Bloody Mary and Bellini. The Appetizer made it out 10 minutes later. I am not a light weight but that drink and no food had my head spinning. We tried the fried ravioli and we would not get it again. It felt like a frozen product and the ""Cheese and Jalapeno"" filling was similar to a yellow tortilla dip product and not spicy or tasty. As our waitress came back around she asked how we liked it.. and we ordered TheHubby a beer and water for me. It took another 10 minutes to get the beer. Then we sat. and sat. and sat some more. one hour and 5 minutes after we sat down and ordered the # 1 pizza came to the table. We did like the flavors but the crust was too thin to make it a regular on our list of foods we would get again. Our waitress came again to ask how the pizza was (point here, the waitress does not deliver your drinks or food,,, it seems like they have runners for that) We told her it tasted fine and asked for the bill. After getting the bill and having our waitress pick it up to run the card she apologized for the long delay for the pizza. She told us when the FIRST one was made it had no mushrooms. (this was not an add on, just another ingredient on their #1 selling pizza) . No one had said this before and I am not sure I believe it. She was a very nice waitress and was very busy. I assume she had tables inside as we did not see her very often and we were right in front of the bar and she did not work there. We paid for and left the place at 12:35. Even if they had to remake a pizza this was extremely long to sit 2 people for table service. All 4 tables around us left with in 10 minutes of each other. 2 parties of 2 and two parties of 4. There is no excuse for service as slow as this except that a kitchen that cannot expedite food in a timely manner. Friendly staff, great drinks. the wait even when you are sitting at a table is ridiculously long. It will be a long, long, time before I return to Oregano's.

The food is amazing but the service at this location was terrible. I generously gave 3 stars specifically for the food. My family and I went to this location about a few weeks ago. After about a 30 minute wait (which is expected), we were seated and it took a good 15 minutes for the waiter to even come out to greet us. We said thanks but no thanks and walked out. The waiter said he didn't even know that he had new customers! He didn't even try to get a manager or anything to compensate for the lack of service. I called them afterwards and waited at least 10 minutes just to not be able to speak to the manager, and the staff member didn't even ask to get my information in order for the manager to follow up. I've been to the Location on Bell and the one in central Phoenix and the staff at those locations really set the expectations high for a great experience. For this to be a new location, they really need to step up their game with the service.
(3)RJ B.
I'm not really sure how to rate this since I'm so conflicted. We went for the first time on a Tuesday afternoon. We were impressed with the decor and the waitstaff was extraordinary. We ordered lasagna and spaghetti. We started with a garlic cheesebread appetizer that was AMAZING. SO...off to a good start. Next We got lasagna and Spaghetti. That's where it all went wrong. The lasagna was completely inedible for both my husband and I. The herbs and spices were extremely strong and neither one of us could eat it. It was filled with some spicy sausage that didn't appeal to either of us. We did not find one noodle in there, and no stringy cheese. Now, I have to preface by saying that my husband and I pretty much like bland very ordinary food and this was out of the ordinary for us. The spaghetti was pretty much the same but not quite as strong. We didn't like either dish. Our waitress was amazing though and offered to sub out for us. Would I come back and try something else? Maybe the salad our neighboring table had that was as big as his whole head! Definitely get the cheese bread if you go. Please don't let our experience keep you from trying this very popular place -- we just like things a little less spicy which is a personal preference.
(4)Heather R.
The wait was awful! They said 30 minutes and it took almost an hour, when I tried to ask how long it would take they would only tell us how many people were ahead of us. More people were coming out of the restaurant then coming in. I said first a available and there was an open take outside for over 30 minutes! Why couldn't they seat me there?? The hostess just stare at their little seating chart the whole time and don't look around for open tables!
(1)Jorge R.
Waited to try this place until the initial crowds died down. No problems with the wait times and the service was awesome. Thank you Leah for the great service and the food was delicious. It was worth waiting a couple weeks to try. Will be back for sure!!
(5)Ebonee S.
Wait time was ridiculous but expected. Poor service. My sister found hair in her calamari and servers tried to get out of comping my mom for it. Rarely saw server, which lead to rarely getting refills and having to ask other servers for help. Manager was nice enough to come and fix the mistakes but definitely wouldn't suggest going to this location.
(2)Lynn D.
All I want to know is why is the music so dam loud?? I understand the wait time and the 1/2 ass service you get but the music is beyond me. Shoot even in the womens bathroom is ridiculously loud. Turn in down a notch to make it a pleasurable experience, if the wait is as long as it is and the wait staff pretty thin at least let us paying customers enjoy the atmosphere and company
(2)Andrea W.
Haven't been to an oregano's in years. Decided to go and waited around 40-45 minutes for our food. Asked for a refill which took about another 20. Had our server come by twice to tell us our food would be right out and then continued to converse with coworkers the whole time. Finally my salad came out but my boyfriend had to wait for his. A manager never came by. We will not be returning.
(1)Stephen C.
I always sit at the bar. They seem to always quote a long wait time even when half the restaurant is empty. So the bar is the way to go. I've been to this location 5 times and the food is consistent, nothing that wows me. I enjoy the alfredo w/ chicken, big rig pasta and the mid day rush deep dish pizza. The service is good if the bartender doesn't have tables in the patio along with serving the bar.
(3)Andrew Z.
To previous post... Wait times DO matter. Certainly new restaurants will have longer waits, but there are open tables everywhere and hoards of people waiting outside. Can't imagine they will sell many stuffed pizzas here, wait 1+hr to sit, then 45 min more for stuffed pizza.? In Chicago, they take your order for stuffed pizza while you wait for table, that way when u sit down, pizza isn't far behind and they are able to keep wait times down. Overall, food was good. Servers polite. Had thin crust pizza. Waited 1 1/2 hrs on Thursday evening.
(3)Guy W.
Food is not bad but took 3 hours from waiting to be seated till time time to leave very slow and it was a Monday.
(2)Laura F.
We came excellent for a birthday lunch for my sister in law. Excellent food.. Kelley at the bar was an excellent bartender.
(5)Erica S.
We're so glad to here that this location was opening! This was my first time eating at any oreganos locations and I must say the food is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I had a salad and it was massive! Family potions for sure. The only reason I give it a 4 is because it has taken about an hour and a half each time and they don't take reservations
(4)Liz C.
Im updating my review and adding a star because the waiter and the food were AMAZING. However, they really should ask is you would like to sit outside or inside BEFORE putting your name in the list, and why cant you make a reservation? Also i would ratger sit at a table (because there were A LOT open) and let you wait till a server was available. Since their waiting are is small and hardly there. I also found it annoying that there were many waiters or bussers just wandering around the restaurant lookong bored. Hopefully they will get better! Im rooting for them! The Oregeno's in Phoenix is awesome eventhough they sometimes have a long wait time.
(3)Liz R.
The wait times are Ridic. We came on a weeknight for dinner bc we've only tried on the weekends before and the wait times are too long. (Anything over an hour is too long IMO.) So even last night (a Thurs evening), we waited almost an hour. Usually I am good to wait as long as I have a glass of wine but with these temperatures (it's summer - so over 110 out), even a glass of wine can't cool me off in their bar bc IT'S OUTSIDE. What were they thinking with that plan??? The food is delicious though. We've had pizza there, wings, and I had the Caesar with chicken last night. The chicken is some of the best I've ever had on a Caesar anywhere. And I get around! I had a salad last time I was there too and I specifically stated no peppers. None of that yucky marinated peppers / pimento business. Ugh. And there was A PILE of them on there when it arrived! (it was another salad. Not the Caesar.) The waitress never asked me if everything was ok but you'd think she would notice I hadn't taken two bites off my salad when she picked up the plates. I emailed corporate to complain and they sent me a $10 gift card. (It was a $12-14 salad but I was just glad they made any effort to fix the situation since it was totally ignored when I was there at the restaurant.) Four stars instead of 5 because the wait times are crazy no matter what day or time you go apparently. That is just poor planning. Same as putting the bar area outdoors. Dumb.
(4)Linda L.
I've been here twice at this location. Both times on Wednesday night. The wait is long but not extreme. Can't imagine a wkend night! Sat at the bar once. Bartenders were friendly and attentive. Dined at the table the other time. Food is mediocre/good. Service is good even though it's super busy. Ambience is a little crowded and noisy but all in all.. Not bad but not great. Not my first choice for Italian but will return at some point. Note: FREE pizza cookie if you sign up for your birthday on their site. It is delicious if it's cooked properly! We had ours taken back because it was under cooked. The second was still a little under but decided to leave it. Both my boyfriend and daughter had poopy issues later that night. Pretty sure it's the pizza cookie because I only had a bite or two. So be weary of it.
(3)Mary C.
The pan pizza is exellent!! appetizers are delish, as the dessert and drinks. The only negative is the wait time if you choose to eat at the restaurant. no reservations! oh and staff is overly friendly and helpful
(4)Nancy D.
Great food! Friendly customer service. Creative decor. A bit of a long wait sometimes but worth it.
(4)Skyler S.
We are from a state that sadly does not have one so we always stop when we find it. We have been to four different locations and this one was my favorite! No wait for a table and the service was amazing! Thank you:)
(5)Jackie C.
I am giving this one 3 stars because I have always liked Oregano's, although it was usually the Scottsdale locations. This was my first time at this location in Goodyear... it was a Saturday night and packed like I expected it to be... we got there around 8 and were quoted a 40 minute wait time. We decided to just eat at the bar, no big deal. Drinks are reasonably priced... they don't have frozen margaritas or drinks other than a frozen peach bellini concoction that they have from a machine back there. It was meh. Lemme just warn you if you aren't already aware - the portion sizes are HUGE here... on one hand it's great cause you get more for your money, but we literally almost filled up on our appetizer and by the time the dinner came we weren't that interested lol. Ordered the stuffed mushrooms - it ended up being 2 gigantic portobello mushrooms each filled with a mountain of ground sausage and then topped with cheese. They were tasty. I then got the eggplant parm, but it just was mediocre at best. It was a meager size portion of some slices of eggplant (not breaded) on top of a ginormous bed of overcooked angel hair pasta. I am someone who likes a generous amount of sauce as well, and they were very stingy with the sauce. When I asked for more on the side, I got a ramekin of thick sauce. Weird... I basically ate the eggplant and garlic bread and a couple bites of pasta but it was just way too much food for me to finish even if I was STARVING. My friend got the white pizza and he liked it, but could barely eat that much because he was full too. I will definitely go back to Oregano's! Just not on a Weekend night.
(3)Matthew S.
Let me start with I have tried to eat here 3 times and the wait times have all been 2 hours or more. On a Friday I can understand but even on a Monday or Thursday. Well today I decided to try an odd time came in at 3:15 PM and was told it would be 10 minutes before they would have a ready table and there were 2 other 2 tops ahead of me. I mean really at 3 in the afternoon there is still a wait. This is just poor planning either not enough staff or they have no idea how to seat a restaurant. Food: So I had Alfredo the dark with 2 meatballs and wheat pasta so it had to change to penne which is fine. It was really good. I also ordered Brussel sprouts and she told me they would take 20 minutes so she had my pasta come out first. They were amazing. Roasted with rosemary and parmesean on top. So the food is good, the service is good but I am not sure I would go back with the wait times as they are. It just does not seem worth the effort. Service was great. She was very nice.

A nice visit I was very excited when Orrganos Pizza Bistro opened a Westside location. I had tried several times to have lunch at the Goodyear's location, however every time, we ran into a lengthy wait for a table and choose not to wait. I was driving by late afternoon on a weekday and decided to stop by and try my luck. The hostess advised of a 20 minute wait and we were seated within 10 minutes. The staff is friendly and accomdating. Although, on this visit service was a little slow. However, the food was prepared and served quicker then expected. We split garlic bread, stuffed crust pizza, and a salad. The salad was served cold, and the ingredients were fresh. The pizza was good, but not the best I ever had at Oreganos (little soggy). The prices are a bit higher than average, but not unreasonable. I look forward to my next visit.
(3)Tim S.
I have tried about every single popular/famous pizza joint in Phoenix, but had never had Oregano's until the other day. I'm usually a thin crust guy and if I am going to eat Chicago thin crust, I am probably going to Spinato's. Have been since I moved here and will continue to until I leave. I have had Spinato's "thick" crust pizza though and it is not good at all. That brings us to Oregano's. I was craving a thick pizza and had some options for either their "pan pizza" or their "stuffed pizza". Reading the descriptions on their website, the stuffed pizza sounded mighty fine! I placed my order for a 10 inch sausage and onions stuffed pizza. These stuffed pizzas take about 45 minutes to cook so the lady on the phone told me it would be ready in about an hour. I waited for awhile and then went down to pick it up (I live in Surprise and it's only about a 15 minute drive down the 303. It's definitely a lot closer to my house than some of my other favorite pizza joints in Phoenix and surrounding areas.) I parked, walked in, paid the lady my money (Just over 21.00) and was on my way. Customer service was excellent at the front counter. Every employee in there said hi and they even apologized profusely for a slight delay of getting my order. It wasn't even a delay...there was one dude in front of me ordering yet they still apologized for the wait. It was sincere too. It shows that they have excellent customer service standards. I appreciated it even though it was not needed in the first place! The girl grabbed my pizza from the warming oven and handed it over. This thing weighed no less than 4 lbs. No joke! This was by far the heaviest pizza I have ever carried! I drove home and dug in. Here is how it was............ 10 Inch Sausage and Onion Stuffed Pizza- I opened the box and was immediately impressed! This pizza looked amazing! It was a sea of red sauce dusted with some parmesean cheese. The crust was nice and thick and the whole thing was topped with a few thin slices of onion. They do not cut this pizza. If they did, the guts would spill out all over the place. It had been about 30 minutes after I picked it up so it had some time to settle. I cut this bad boy into 4 slices. Each slice must have been at least a pound. If you are looking for multiple meals, this is definitely your pizza. A normal person could only eat about 1 slice. If you are a fat ass and/or starving, you might be able to eat 2. I grabbed a spatula and picked up a piece and put it on my plate and dug in. Wow! This pizza was delicious! They use tons of Wisconsin cheese, they use a ton of sausage (kind of like a huge sausage patty) which you get some in every bite, and then some sliced up onions too. The onions were a tad skimp and that is about the only bad thing I can say about this pizza. The crust was nice and buttery and flaky. It was damn near perfect. I was stuffed after one slice and proceeded to eat the remaining 3 slices over the next few mornings for breakfast. If I ever want a deep dish pizza, I know where I'm coming! It will be hard to stray away from the stuffed pizza. It was pretty much perfection and the value was awesome because you can get so many meals out of it. Pair that with great customer service, and this is a 5 star joint in my book. I couldn't imagine a better stuffed pizza out there (at least in AZ...Chicago, maybe lol). I will be back for sure!

The wait times here really are bad. Be prepared to wait for over 30 minutes for a table, at least. The staff are constantly running around like they have no clue what they are doing and are to busy playing and gossiping with the other staff. When you finally get to order it takes them forever to bring your food, and be prepared to eat in shifts. This visit had our party of 5 eating dish by dish, so if you enjoy eating together definitely don't come here. We had to stop someone and ask for refills of ice tea and when they came the empty glasses just sat on our table. No one came by to check on how things were or to clean up the done dishes. The food was really not worth the money or the other drama we had to deal with to eat here. Be expecting to slip and slide on their dirty greesy floor if you decide you need to use the restroom. So... would I come back here, especially this location. Nope. Is it worth the money. Nope.
(1)Tex N.
I was not impressed. We waited for over an hour to be seated, then waited another 20 minutes to order. Then waited another 40 minutes for our order to served. Now hungry and impatient we were finally served and our order was wrong and we received a free pizza. In the end the pizza was decent but I would not return if I had choice.
(2)Stacie G.
We've been here quite a few times and somehow we always leave complaining about the service. Every single time we sit at the bar (which is every time) we're always ignored by the bartenders, simply for getting another beer or getting plates and silverware. We don't go during busy hours because we know how crazy it can get so its not that they're slammed. They always try to make themselves appear that they're busy and will completely disregard they have customers at the bar. They will walk past you numerous times without even looking your way and act as if they're a busy nightclub unable to multitask. For the most part I wouldn't complain about being left alone but rather than having regular tv with sports they have their "oldies shows on". All in all, they're food is amazing but their service is really starting to get to me.
(3)Nora V.
I've been to this new location once mid week at lunch time & was given a 45 minute wait. We walked up & sat at the bar no problem & the wait time was more like 30 vs 45 quoted by hostess desk. The second time we went was on a Sunday early evening & again quoted a 45 minute wait but lucked out again with 2 seats at the bar. I was kind of hidden on the outside by a window but the service was still great. The wait time though was a 45 minutes this go around. So far I can only state the bar service as I haven't yet waited for a table but everything at the bar was aces. The food was great (as usual). Love that we have an Oreganos on the West Side FINALLY!
(5)Bridget A.
Thank you for bringing back customer service! We were so well attended here that I didn't even care about the 1.5 hour wait. It was totally worth it. Our server was the quickest, sweetest, and kindest server we have had in a long time. We started with a guacatony. It was so good we ate it all and didn't save room for our dinner but it was ok because we took our food to go. Our main meal was a baked ziti and the Alfredo in the dark. The portions are huge! And there is so much flavor in everything. I love it! I would definitely recommend to anyone if they love carbs. Because that all you get. Lovely, delicious, cheesy carbs. Also never skimp on the pizza cookie. It is delectable and a hit. Thanks again future medical doctor for being an awesome server. :-)
(5)David D.
Great Chicago style and thin crust pies. Friendly service, but come early when the weather is mild, or prepare to wait. Huge guacatony is the perfect app while waiting for the deep dish to cook. It's summer and slower. ..so no long lines right now.
(5)Chandra L.
So glad to have Oregano's on this side of town! Came here to meet a friend for lunch, middle of the week and there's still a wait time so expect it to be busy when you visit despite the time of day! I just got a slice of pizza and a side salad, prices are definitely reasonable and the food and service were good. The menu says a giant slice of pizza but it was two normal slices of pizza so took one home. I had to save room for that amazing Pizza Cookie, LOVE that thing! You have to get one if you come here, it's basically mandatory. I can't wait to come back again, I'm going to have to take days off work so I can come in the middle of the day when they aren't as busy! Definitely want to try some pasta dishes... And eat more cookies!
(5)Brian M.
When you go to a new Oregano's, you have to expect there to be a line. Some of the employees are lacking the polished organizational skills that we hope for, but this Oregano's is essentially like any other: a stylish joint with a jazzy vibe, charismatic waiters/waitresses, and a delicious selection of the American and Italian variety. Now that it's been open a few months, the wait times are dwindling each day. I went there opening week and waited an hour and a half. Four weeks ago I waited an hour. Two weeks ago, forty-five minutes. Last week, five minutes (that was for lunch, but still impressive). As you can tell, I love Oregano's because it's freaking Oregano's, which makes my opinion rather skewed in its favor. But wait times aside, I've had good to great service every visit and consistently tasty food. Not to mention the to-die-for pizzookies-- quite possibly the best thing in the universe.

Good food and great pizza. This location is new so the wait is still long....and it seems like it's all this time. You won't go wrong here

Went there last night with friends, party of 8. Excepted the long wait time as we heard the food was great however after waiting over an hour they tried to seat us in a corner booth (they ended up giving it to a party of four who just fit comfortably). When we advised both the hostess and server it was not acceptable they said hopefully a table would hopefully open in a few minutes and walked away. After 15 minutes or so of all 8 of us standing in the middle of the restaurant being ignored we left. On the way out we every staff member who was aware of the situation said "have a good night". It seemed like they didn't care because they knew there would be another party to replace us. Poor customer service! Have no desire to go back as there as so many more places with great food and better respect for those of us who are spending our hard earned money.

Naomi did an amazing job tending bar. Great drinks and even better service. Will be back.

After hearing so much about this place I was excited to finally get to eat here. Well, food took forever to come out. I got the Diablo shrimp, and while the sauce was really good, they had obviously not stirred the pasta enough because half of my noodles were stuck together in one big clump. The pizza was okay, but it was kind of soggy. What really got me was when the waitress came while I was still eating (literally fork of food going in my mouth) to ask if I wanted the bill or to see the dessert menu and could she box that up for me. Really? I knew we had been there for awhile, but 30 mins of that 40 min timeline had been waiting for my food. He says I'm being a bit harsh, but I guess it's because I had such high hopes. Given the lack of good eating on the west side, I was hoping to add this to the lineup. I'll give it a chance again in a month or so. Maybe they'll have worked out the kinks.

The ambiance is nice. I like the location. But it was not designed for the hot Az desert. In one week they will lose a lot of seating due to the heat. My angel pasta was a little over cooked. But tasted good my wife's para was perfect. Service was slow and we waited almost an hour for a table. The verdict is still out I will be back for another test.

Had a good experience when my wife and I sat at the bar. Great pizza and wings. However, we tried to go recently with a larger group (8 people) and it was 1.25 hr wait. At 5pm on a Wednesday... Riiiiight. I tried to call ahead and they don't accept call aheads. They apparently only have 1 table capable of seating larger parties. Kinda missed the mark on that one Oreganos. Brand spankin new building and all. So we went across the street to Native NewYorker and got seated immediately.
(3)Caden C.
This was my first Oreganos experience. We had a party of 6. Yeah the wait was abnormally long for a Tuesday night about an hour, but we had a big party so we sat at the bar until they had a table open. The service was great and the food was AMAZING! Every one of us had a different entree and holy crap, so much flavor! Every time I am in town, I will be eating here.
(5)Barbara F.
I've eaten at the Oreganos locations in Tempe and in Scottsdale, so I knew we liked them and was excited for this one to open. We're pretty neglected out here on the far west side. My four kids and I arrived at 2:10. On the way in I eyed the patio and was happy to see three clean tables. Awesome, no wait. Just kidding! Quoted a 40 minute wait, we decided to take a menu anyway and argue over pizza options in the wait area. That was a good plan because we were seated and our order put in about 20 minutes later. We were warned our deep dish could take an hour, but I didn't worry about it because we'd ordered a sandwich and a thin crust to work on while we waited. And waited. And waited. Looking around, I continued to notice 3-4 tables open on the patio. It was never completely filled, but the outside wait area continued to be packed. By this time it was 2:59. I grabbed our server (don't remember who she was but she was lovely) and asked for garlic bread and a couple of soups. We were ready to eat our fingers by this time. We'd been out running errands and hadn't eaten since breakfast. She said she would put the order in to come out right away. We wait some more. One of the kids asks if maybe we should just give up and go home. I didn't check the time this time, but it was approximately 20 minutes before we got some soup and bread. One of the bowls was little more than broth and the other was nothing but fill (pasta and meat...it was wedding soup), which I thought was oddly done, but it was fine. I just transferred a bit of soup back and forth with a spoon to restore the balance. The flavor was very good and it disappeared all too quickly because we were back to waiting again. At 3:53, I texted my older daughter that we wouldn't be home for a while since we were still waiting for our lunch to arrive. Around 4pm, the food arrives and I'm underwhelmed. It's sad looking. A little bit dry. A little bit cool...not ice cold, but not fresh out of the oven. Like it's been sitting there a while. I give up. So to their credit, they did realize there was a problem. They checked the ticket and realized we had been sitting there for over an hour and a half. They removed the thin crust from the bill and then offered to send it home with me anyway. I thought about it for a second but didn't really feel right about taking it. They offered us free dessert, which was very kind but I was tired and my six year old was squirrelly and not even a free pizza cookie could entice anyone to stay. When I got the bill, I noticed they'd comped a bit instead. So I was happy with the service, but walked away feeling like there is some serious weirdness happening in the kitchen. I'd like to come back in maybe six months when they get the kinks worked out. Maybe hire more kitchen staff? Is there just one guy back there or something? Anyway, if I brave the wait times, I'll come back to update. If you go, be sure to carve out a half a day!

Super good food!!!! I come once a week and I always get great service!!!! The food tastes extravagant the pesto penne bake is a favorite among the family!!! The workers are really nice but you can tell there is a sense of fakeness almost among the managers, we will be back!!!
(4)Robin N.
Tasty food with plenty to share!! We actually split the chicken Parmesan over a bed of Alfredo pasta. It was delightful and filling! We of course had to save room for the famous cookie pizza! Absolutely amazing! The wait time on a Monday afternoon was the average 30 minutes. Service was wonderful.

So my wife and I went here for lunch today and have mixed reviews. The parking lot was not even close to full and there were several vacant tables yet there were several people waiting outside. Not sure if they do not have the staffing figured out or what. When we finally did get seated the service was very friendly and mostly attentive. The server was busy and provided the best service he could to the entire section. The ambiance of the restaurant left something to be desired. It is cramped and a little dirty. Maybe having the doors and bar open to the patio is not the best idea in the world. The ledge on the partition separating the tables had a layer of dust on it. I did not use the rest rooms but my wife said the women's room was not the cleanest. Now to the food. We got calamari, a meatball sandwich, an Italian sausage sandwich, and then grabbed a pizza to take home for later. The calamari was good, and the breading on it was different than any calamari we had before. The sandwiches were not gross, but were not mind blowing either. The meatball was better than the sausage one by far. The waffle fries were good. The pizza reheated later was pretty good. The food is big here and you will not leave hungry. Question is would we return? I think we would return to give this another chance. They definitely need to figure out there staffing issues to provide cleaner restaurant and make the service less rushed and quicker seating. Not sure if we would try the call ahead and take out. The reviews seemed really mixed on that so far.
(2)Cari H.
Loved the atmosphere and decor. The staff was incredibly friendly, energetic, and attentive. The food was above average, though the presentation was a bit sloppy. This may just be their style, but I prefer a more tidy plate when my food arrives. Overall I was impressed with the flavor and portion size, though a little more garlic bread with the meal would never hurt anyone. Prices were a bit higher than I would've expected but not unreasonable for the experience. We arrived on a Friday at lunchtime and there was no wait. Had a choice of patio or inside dining, we chose inside so we could look at the fun decorations. I'll definitely be back, great vibe for a date or a girls day/night out.

This location was my worst Oregano's experience ever. I have been to several other valley locations over the years and have never been disappointed by the food or level of service provided. Being that this location is the newest, and also the consistency between other locations, I had high expectations for my experience here. First of all, the waitress that served our table did not seem well suited for her position. She seemed lost and overwhelmed the entire dinner, did not check in frequently enough to fill our drinks, and generally did not seem to understand the responsibilities of a waitress. As for the food, I was extremely disappointed. I love the pesto pizza and the Italian wedding soup and both were a major let down here. The pizza had hardly any pesto, which completely lacked flavor, and was smothered in way too much cheese. The soup was also greatly lacking in flavor as well as the meatballs. Overall, the food was tasteless and inconsistent with other oregano's locations. On top of this we had to wait over an hour to get our food with no explanation as we sat and waited. I will not be returning to this location nor will I recommend it to anyone.
(1)Jade W.
I know Oregano's doesn't normally do call ahead seating, but we thought we'd give it a try since it's a new location. Nope. First come, first serve, they said. My friend headed over to put our name on the list to save some time as I was leaving work. They quoted him an 1 hour 25 min. It ended up being around 45 minutes. Not bad! It was a very nice evening to eat on the patio. Our server was nice but said he was "under the weather". Hope it's not contagious... We ordered the garlic cheese bread with marinara (it's a must!) as we decided on the main course. It was delicious, as always. As my friend finished his glass of water, I noticed there was an empty pink sweetener packet in his cup.... What is THAT doing in there? Did they give him a dirty cup? Kind of disturbing. He asked our server for another glass. So weird! We knew it was going to be a wait, but we ended up ordering the 10" stuffed pizza with pepperoni and meatball, since I don't think I'd ever had it before. It took another 45 minutes to get. The pizza was EXTREMELY cheesy. Too much cheese, really. Made me a little sick to my stomach. And I think it was overcooked because the crust was really crunchy. What a disappointment! I definitely won't be ordering that again... But I'll be back for the garlic bread and pizookie.
(2)Bao N.
We arrive a waiter takes our drink order. Then informs us. There is a shift change. As we wait for this (2)min change they keep seating ppl around us. Ignore us as they take everyone else drink order and food order. Before us even tho they arrived way way after. We waited about 20 min so finally ask for a check. Do not come here.
(1)Shelley M.
I am happy to update my review and raise a star on both service and food. We went in on our anniversary which also happened to be a graduation night. It was super packed with large parties but we were able to get a seat at the bar. The food was a huge improvement over our last visit ranking right up there with the other locations we have visited. Yes-there is still a huge wait but we have waited at the other locations too. It's a popular place. The only thing holding back a five star rating is the fact that they still seem a little understaffed. The poor bartender was running her butt off trying to take care of everyone and she just couldn't. Keep moving in the right direction! We are happy to have this restaurant in Goodyear b
(4)Sandy S.
Service was great. Food was good and plentiful. Bellini is a must! Our service there was far greater than Olive Garden across the street, over there all food comes out at the same time, appetizers and all. At Oregano's they space the service of every course. Kuddos!
(4)Carlos A.
Been here twice usually just because of a family occasion n sure enough wait is over two hours, unless if your party is six or less then don't waste your time the sitting is limited and once seated the area was a booth with tables but they didn't have enough tables to sit and accommodate all of us, we ended up dinning all close to each other believe it or not they only had six additional chairs to accommodate all of us. I can't make any sense of s restaurant only having six chairs in the entire establishment that supposed to hold over two hundred people wow!!!
(2)Matthew R.
I wanted to put a rebuttal on here for the dude who thinks it's "idiotic" to complain about wait times for a new restaurant. I've gone by 3 times for lunch. Each time, I've been told there's over an hour wait. Each time, I wandered through the restaurant only to find open tables, bored looking wait staff and zero sense of urgency. I left all three times and went across the street to competitors and sat down immediately. While the location is new, the chain is not. What is "idiotic" is opening up a popular chain restaurant in an area that's dying for one and have piss poor planning when it turns out that it actually has customers. I'm not sure if the management of this place is inept or apathetic....but one thing is for sure....they surely don't appreciate your time or business. Stay far away.
(1)Robert A.
A great tip for this place is to eat at the bar. Full service and not a 1:15 waite. Sit at the bar Leah M . will give you the attention and detail. The food is a piece of utter magnificence. The service is unrivaled. The only thing id worry about is the fact their are no misters on the porch ateas. Hopefully. They wont make the mistake of no misters So 15 tables outside will be comfortable in 115 degree weather.
(4)Nathan S.
I am going to give this location 5-stars just to even out the idiotic people (Jeff G. and Mike K.) who reviewed the wait time of a restaurant that has just opened up. Here is a fact of life: when popular restaurants open up at a new location, said location will have extremely long and abnormal wait times for at least 1-2 months. This varies depending on the restaurant and the area. I don't know why anyone would go to this Oregano's with the ridiculous expectation of being seated immediately and served their order within 15-20 minutes. This place is brand new! People are still learning, it is incredibly popular, there are tons of visitors here for Spring Training, and there should be an understanding of what to expect.
(5)Chris J.
We had a party of 8. We were quoted 1 hour 45 minutes but it only ended up being 40 minutes. Meanwhile, we received samples while waiting. The pizza was incredible as always. They have Hatch Green Chile which was a wonderful add-on to our pie. The service was excellent. I did notice quite a few empty tables and continual lines of people outside. Perhaps the staffing isn't quite calibrated with the demand. It's a new location and they will work the kinks out. A very great addition to this area.
(5)Sandy B.
Super yummy! The wait can get pretty long, but totally worth it. The pizza cookie and boom dip are money!
(5)Jeff G.
Stopped by at 8:40 and the place is packed. Decide to try take out instead. Wait time for a meatball sub and a bowl of pasta is 2 hours!!!! Must be training the cooks. :( I love Oreganos but that is ridiculous.
(1)Marc R.
Don't let the wait scare you its worth it. I love Alfredo the Dark and add the Italian sausage for a little protein. Stuffed pizzas are always a hit. The servers are great and its always a fun environment with great food.
(5)Brass B.
This location just isn't as good as the other ones! My husband and I went to lunch around 11:30 am at Oregano's in Goodyear and were seated immediately. That was the only "quick" part about our meal. We waited over 20 minutes for a salad. We then waited over 10 minutes for a bottled beer. Our server messed up our single sandwich order not once, but twice - and the worst part is we never got an actual apology - just a "I guess the third time's a charm!" And our third sandwich wasn't even hot all the way through. At other locations the manager would have apologized, an iced tea would have been comped, the mistake at least acknowledged - something! If they would have been busy I would have understood, but not even acknowledging the mess up is just not acceptable. Sorry to say we don't plan on returning to this location any time in the near future.
(2)Matthew W.
We called at 4:15 to order two dinner salads. The person on the phone said that "the next time she could get something out of the kitchen" for takeout was 7:20. That's right... a 3 hour and 5 minute wait for two dinner salads... for takeout. Even better, the person on the phone was shocked, just shocked, that we had a problem with waiting over three hours for a takeout order.
(1)Taylor R.
Best location of the bunch! Biggest store and friendliest staff! The good thing is they still have the same amazing food as all of the other locations. The wait may be long in the beginning but they always make the wait worth it! So happy that the west valley can finally enjoy their food.
(5)Carol L.
Had lunch with clients and friends here yesterday....been to all of the other Oreganos but this one did not live up to the sister properties...are they franchised? Anyways, there were 4 of us, and 2 of us ordered the Oregano's favorite with chicken(salad)...neither of the salads came with chicken (and this was after he confirmed the order with us twice BEFORE putting the order in?...waiter was nice, but checked in with us at least 4 times before we got the order and then stopped by at least another 6 times. When it came time to refill the drinks (3 teas were the same and one was a coke) instead of bringing a pitcher to refill everyone's glass, he told me they don't have pitchers and he took the glasses away to get refilled (not new ones). We were all wondering how we would get the same glass back and of course we didn't. The only way I knew mine was the same was because of the lipstick on the straw. I considered this very unsanitary and think the manager needs to look into this. We arrived at 11:20, food delivery was slow for Oregano's standards and I would not be interested in coming back here.
(2)Hannah A.
Great Pasta and I have gotten Catered Food from them and it was great!!! Large portions, Attention to detail, Friendly service and Amazing Caesar Dressing!!!
(5)Debbie H.
What a great place....There is so much food you can ALWAYS share! They have done a great job with the people they employ always friendly!!!!
(4)Meg M.
Been twice now, once for dining there once for takeout. The wait is long, yes, but the food is good! Take out took 1 hour 40 minutes on a Friday night. Wait to be seated for dine in was 40 minutes. Thin crust pizza is the best, the pan is a little bready for me. Try the garlic lime parm wings! Dining in was a loooong night, seemed like they forgot to make our pizza or something :(
(4)Francisco P.
Food was good service was sloooowwww good atmosphere and attentive staff will check it out again
(3)William M.
I wanted to see what the hype was all about. Painfully disappointing from beginning to end. First there was over an hour wait! The pizza was overbearing with sauce....yuk. Don't waste your time here this place is awful. Nothing spectacular here.
(1)A M.
While vacationing in AZ we came here for dinner with family. They told us it was a busy restaurant, with a party of 7 we waited about 45 minutes and it was totally worth the wait. I tried the El Diablo Shrimp Pasta, the waiter and manager both joked that they'd bring me the fire extinguisher. I like spicy and loved this dish. Seeing as how it was our first time we all tried a bite or two of each others dishes and found everything tasted good. The service for the busy dinner was smooth. Can't wait to make a return visit on our next trip!
(4)Victoria F.
I took my parents for Father's Day on Monday, the day after Father's Day and we got there at 5 pm. There was a 30 minute wait because the place was busy. Once we were seated our server Adam waited on us right away. He made great suggestions and we ordered the spinach and artichoke dip and the garlic cheese bread to start. The portions are huge so we ordered on entree of the Alfredo the dark pasta. Everything was FANTASTIC!! The service was excellent. I recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for a great place to eat.
(5)Cynthia A.
Worst service ever. We came after a graduation, and I understand it was a busy day, however, you do not make your costumers wait for hours to get a table. Then, when we finally got in after 3 Hours, the service was slow and uncaring of our wait and made us wait even more. The food was not worth the wait, it did not taste fresh or even good at all. WORST SERVICE EVER. Please save your time and money and go elsewhere but please avoid this location, I will definetly not be coming back here.
(1)T. B.
This 5 star review is all for Leah MILLER. She works at the bar and gave EXCELLENT service. This is my FIRST time in AZ and 1st time at Oregano's and she was VERY present w all her customers and very intuitive to their needs. Her service made the food just that great and the overall experience perfect. Thanks Leah MILLER :-)
(5)John M.
I have been to other location, and was excited for them to come to the west side, but i must say you have people at this location that just don't under stand what food service is all about. we have been here twice now and I waited to review this location till they were open for a while, but i must tell get new help, from the person who answered the phone to the last person we saw as we left, not a smile to be found. Will visit other location like the one in Tempe, or on Scottsdale rd, but I don't think I will go back to this location. what a bummer. Especially since we have so many fewer place to go on the west side, Just wish they could have done so much better, I wonder if it is the curse of the westside.
(1)Jim K.
I've never posted before but need to comment on out experience. My wife and I worked in the restaurant business during college, So I understand that things happen. However, a 55 minute ticket time is too much for me. Service was good, but at the 40 minute mark when a member of management finally came to the table, the explanation was that there was a mix up. She offered to pay for our dinner, which was to be expected, but offers to have us come back were not made. Very disappointed. I will not be back.
(1)Glenda E.
This is very frustrating that every time we come here (no matter how early or late there's a 35 min or more wait.) I get it, it's new, it's Goodyear... Having to sit at the bar wouldn't be so bad if the staff didn't expect you to sit at a dirty bar and give you menus without a second thought... Oh make sure it isn't during a shift change because it's obviously more important to count drawer and fill condiments rather than help the people sitting at the bar patiently waiting. Just a bad experience overall... I hope it gets better... The staff is very "green". We watched the bartender make several drinks and pour most of the alcohol down the side of the glasses! Wow!
(2)Jose N.
Welcome to Lemming-ville. Went for a second visit. The first was a pick-up order that was horrible. The artichoke in the dip was so hard it was like eating corn husks. And the crust on the pizza was over-seasoned. We went again, this time for a dine-in. I must say, it was better. The service was great as well. But, everything else was certainly not worthy of the hundred dollars we spent for a couple and three kids ages 8, 6 and 1. The eight year old didn't even have anything. The bruschetta was good, but the bread was more like croutons. The pizza was actually good, but the crust was still over-seasoned. If I am going to spend that much on pizza, it'll be at Pomo or Bianco. Sorry. I don't get why this place is so famous, other than most people are lemmings.
(3)Kelly T.
We went here for my daughter's birthday on a Friday night knowing it would be busy. It was, but the wait was not unreasonable. They came out and took drink orders while we were waiting which was nice. Every staff person we interacted with was super friendly. The food was delicious with generous portions and reasonable prices. I understand why they are so busy and I will definitely be coming back.
(5)Daryl B.
Wife and I ate here for dinner. Meals were good and reasonably priced. Hostess seated us right away. Waitress was very friendly and gave great service. But ( yes unfortunately there is a but), the problem was the flies. I guess it was from the outdoor bar & patio leading right into the dining area. They were surrounding our table and appeared to be a fan of our food as well. I'm not a fan of flies or any other rodent around me or my food while I'm trying to eat "indoors". But if this doesn't bother you. Than this restaurant is the place for you.
(3)Monica G.
Had a great meal and good service. While we waited the service extended to waiting guests with complimentary garlic bread. Just beware of the El Diablo dish it is fire . But tasty
(4)Ceci E.
Food is fantastic, but the young staff really needs to step up their customer service skills. There were 4 people behind the check out counter, I was the only one in line and it took over five minutes of me standing there for someone to ring me up for my order. I would've understood of they were busy, but they were talking amongst themselves, greeting friends that were coming in for dinner and walking them to their tables. A waitress who had nothing to do with my check out was the only person that greeted me, asked how my day was and if I had been helped. There is room for improvement guys.
(2)Santos H.
Had the thin crust pizza and toasted raviolis both very delicious! The atmosphere and service was excellent I recommend this place. It's not a quick meal the pizza takes some time to make everything made fresh! $42
(5)Amanda M.
Considering this location just opened, a 2-3 hour wait is not uncommon, especially on a Sunday night. We anticipated a longer wait for a table than it actual took. We were able to grab a couple drinks and hang out in front while we waited. Once we were seated our waitress, Casey, was great as well as our appetizer. We ordered their signature pizza and a few other dishes. We did request everything at the same time, knowing it would take 40 minutes for the pizza. It took longer than the times quoted but the food was amazing and definitely worth it. The manager, Dominic, came to the table to apologize and in my opinion went ABOVE & BEYOND what I ever anticipated. Simply due to Dominic's professionalism and willingness to make things right is what will bring me back, even with an hour plus wait!
(5)Nana M.
Wow!! Wait time here is horrible!! Have to wait to be seated which feels like forever but to be exact 45 minutes. We sat down, ordered our appetizer that took forever to prepare, waited about 30 minutes. Then waited some more for our main order, took about 30 more minutes. In between our wait, we had to stop our waiter to refill our drinks. Our second visit was no different. Don't plan on going back in a long time.
(1)Marcus M.
Don't let the wait scare you. Both times I've been this week we were seated way before the time given to us. Service was good but a few mistakes were made (obviously still training wait staff). Great atmosphere and prices. Wish more beers were on draft. The cocktails though were great and the pizzaookie!!! Amazing. Can't wait to go back.
(4)Mike K.
I'm not going to review the food, I've eaten at both the Tempe and Flagstaff locations to know that Oregano's in general is OK that's about it, it's not life changing so that said here's the issue with this new location. We arrived at 4:03pm, walked up to the hostess stand where clearly written all over the front in a huge sign it stated "We Open At 4pm" this is where I have a major issue... the hostess tells me that there is already a 90 minute wait to which I didn't hold back I left out a LOUD "WTF" followed by "You just opened 3 minutes ago and there's barely anyone here! The manager who happened to walk up at that exact second tells me that they have been taking names on the wait list since 3pm... now again the issue, if you don't open till 4pm how do you have a list started at 3pm!!! This isn't Studio 54 in 1979, or for anyone that can't get that reference, how about a red velvet rope around Radius-Axis Scottsdale which last I checked is still closed .. let's hope that this type of behavior doesn't piss off the residents of Goodyear to the point that they shy away from this place. The bad news, I won't be back there for months... many months, the good news, there are 10 other restaurants within 500 feet that I haven't been turned away from 3 minutes after they opened the door.
(1)Rosemary L.
Read reviews and still decided to have lunch there today, have never eaten at any Oregano's! Guess I did not miss anything, had the chicken parmigiana, it was so dry, way over cooked , even a little black on one end! Pasta was so dry, the sauce was under the chicken but not a lot of it! Probably the worse chicken parmigiana I have ever eaten! The sauce was a bit spicy which I try to avoid, but would overlook that if the chicken had been juicy! The bread was not great they served with it! Hubby was not happy with his pasta either so for what we paid did not think it was worth it! People waiting to get in when we left all I can say is the pizza must be good the pasta is not! But I do want to commend our server, she was really great, kept our glasses full of tea, (we really needed it) she was helpful with our questions about menu too! Probably won't be back!
(2)Ariane G.
Superb service from our Waiter Adam we've been to Oreganos Phx, Glendale and Flagstaff and NEVER receive quite the service like we did at Goodyear from our waiter. Thanks Adam for making our Sunday Dinner extra special. As always food was phenomenal!
(5)Laura S.
I've been to other Oregano's in the valley and have always enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Sad to say I can't say the same about this one (located in Goodyear). Food and service were mediocre at best. This is really too bad- Goodyear needs lots of restaurants - with good service and consistently good food.
(2)Wes D.
Fantastic Pizza! We have been in AZ since 2002 and have found no pizza that compared to pizz in the Bay Area of CA. Well, we found that pizza and the service is terrific. Have a big appetite as their portions of everything is large.
(5)Jenny B.
Horrible horrible customer service. Quoted wait times that are not accurate and on different occasion manager wouldn't even take our name because we were a party of 9.
(1)Josh K.
Ordered take out. The food was 20 minutes later than what the pick up time was. They forgot part of my order. Not to mention it was the worst tasting pizza I have had in years.
(2)Jerry M.
Ordered a pizza for the family and it was disgusting. I equate it to something you would get In some kind of institution or school. I was really embarrassed when I saw the looks on everyone's faces. I will never order here again. All I am thinking about is the countless pizza restaurants I drove past to get here and the money wasted. Oh well..... I don't expect they will be crowded much longer....
(1)Kimberly G.
Long wait. But worth it! Best food I have ever eaten. Friendly staff. Get the pesto penne pasta bread bowl! Enough food for two!
(5)Sandy K.
Slow service, especially trying to order food at bar. No gluten free pasta or pizza options.

Food is great but an hour and half wait is too long. Once seated we noticed empty tables that would sit 10minutes or more and they still have lots of peple waiting outside. The thin crust pizza took over 1/2hour to get to a table. Food is very good but the wait is ridiculous. Rethinking coming back or go to other locations.

Ordered a thick crust large pizza with sausage and pepperoni for pickup. The crust was thinner than what I remember from a few years ago which was the last time I had pizza from the Tempe location. Neither of us could detect more than a few slivers of pepperoni and there was a very modest amount of sausage. What we did get was a couple of pounds of cheese and not much else, the sauce was nice and spicy but was only around the outside.

My husband and I have eaten at several Oregano's locations throughout the Phoenix area. Their food has always been consistent and amazing. We always order the Chicago-style thin crust, which is usually the best pizza crust I've ever had. Part of the reason I love their thin crust so much is because they add olive oil to it. We just had dinner at this location and the crust was very dry and had way too much flour coming off of it. This was pretty disappointing. I'm hoping they're still working out the kinks
