Amazing Chicago-style pizza and an amazing family-owned restaurant. This is a perfect place to take the family for pizza, especially kids. We have a 3-year-old son that loves to play in the play kitchen in the kids area while we wait for our food. You order at the counter but they bring everything to the table for you. We had to wait unusually long for our pizza the last time we were there but when I went to the counter to check on it, they realized they dropped the ball on our order and refunded my money. I wasn't even mad about the order, I just wanted our pizza. I greatly appreciated their integrity about it and I gave the money right back to them to put in their tip jar. We go here once a week and highly recommend it for anyone looking for amazing Chicago-style thick crust pizza. Get the Barro's Special pizza.

Barro's is on the expensive side. This location is good but most of the time greasy pizza. I order the XL pizza, 24 wings with salad. The pizza is nice and hot when I pick my order up. I was reading the reviews about the salad. I never had a problem with it just being croutons or all lettuce. Now one thing I have had is the wings over cooked. Fried to death! This location is convenient but not one I would choose. But if you like brick oven cooked pizza, try the Barro's on Mckellips & Power.

Ordered two pizzas to go, when I arrived they were piping hot. They gave me a bunch of napkins and powdered cheese/peppers. Everybody at the house loved the pizza. Barro's is much better than Pizza Hut but it's also a bit more expensive. Easy to find location.

I love barros. I am probably their best customer. I am there at least 3 times a week either getting a well priced beer or having my favorite pizza. I love that they actually know me when I come in. Great place and great food.

While I am waiting for Pizza Hut to deliver, I have time to write this review. On 07/10/2015 at about 1216 hours, I ordered carry out Borrow's Pizza for the kids here in Mesa, Arizona. I was told that it would take 15 minutes. At about 1258 hours while the family waited in the car, the pizza was finally presented...burnt. I requested a manager who argued that only a portion of the pizza was burnt. Its not that it wasn't ready on time, or the fact that "only half" (I guess) the pizza was burnt or even that we have been ordering from this business for years. But the managers shoulder shrug "I don't care attitude" burned me enough to waste my time writing this. That's okay, Pizza Hut delivery just arrived.

Great lunch specials, rivaled only by Venezia's pizza. This is however Chicago style pizza.

Went for lunch with my sister and was disappointed to see that they got rid of the salad bar and instead give you a lot of lettuce & croutons, a small amount of tomatoes and grated cheese. Overall everything was very underwhelming. I also got a slice of veggie pizza which turned out to pretty much be mushroom only, good thing I love mushrooms, oh except they were very thin, not so fresh mushrooms. The service also could have been friendlier for sure.

I have been going to this location since they opened. Unfortunately, over the past several months (perhaps a newer manager) this location has gone down hill. I took my family last week and the place was filthy. There was garbage from previous customers all over the floor. We were there during a slow time and rather than sweeping the floor or wiping the tables, the girls at the front counter chatted with each other. There were open booths yet none of them were cleaned. I asked a worker (every person who works the front counter is a young female who seems to be more interested in their social life than customer service) to wipe down the table. She went into the kitchen to get a rag. When she started wiping the table, the stench from the filthy rag almost made me have to leave. I could not believe she wiped my table with such a soiled rag without noticing the stench. Unbelievable. I will not go back until the manager decides to start managing the place. If Barro's actually reads these reviews, I hope they find a manager that puts customers ahead of his desire to hire cute "help".

Hadn't eaten at Barro's in years but did last night. Great surprise, can't remember why I didn't go back. Good pizza and wings. Will go again. Try it, I think you will like it.

We just moved to the neighborhood. We received a "free large pizza with one topping" coupon. So we tried it. We are hooked and will be back for more! The pizza was cooked perfect. The cheese just the right temper. The side of bone in hot wings we ordered rocked! Perfectly prepared and tons of sauce. Our takeout experience was so good, I even called the manager Ryan and let him know. [I rarely ever do that.]

We ordered delivery pizza for our first try of Barro's and it was good. Although for thin crust, the crispiness did not survive the drive. I like the flavor and want to try eating in. I am not a fan of most delivery pizza but this was good.

Just like the pie i remember from chi town. if you want a "Chicago style pizza" this is the place for you. get the thin crust, you'll love it.

I enjoy Barro's - most of the ingredients are great. We've noticed, lately, an serious issue with the thin crust - it's flaccid. As in soggy. Whether it's dine-in, carry-out or delivered (we've had all 3). Today, however, I commented that I'd like "crispy" crust - and she said "well done" - the crust was crunchy like it should be - but the cheese was almost non-existent. That argues for a cheese that is full of oil-based fillers, like cheap, generic american cheese - which would be the source of the sogginess in the pizza. I hope it changes - can't get my husband to go there any more.

Ordered for pickup and the person who answered the phone was polite and patient with questions about salad choices. Arrived at the location and the restaurant was just about empty and some tables hadn't been bussed yet. The appearance was dirty and if I was eating in I would've just left. This was kind off putting as there were 4-5 people at the counter bantering it up. Cool, gotta have some fun at work but yeah, do your jobs maybe? The pizza just isn't that good. Thick crust, bland sauce, bland meat. The positive take away is that it was hot. The Salad we ordered was the lamest looking bag type of salad. weh weh weh wehhhhh.

This is my first choice in pizza, both in taste and in value. I love their lunch specials - best value around. Their sausage is so awesome - the best ever. All of their ingredients are very high quality and I have never had a badly done pizza, and I have been a customer there since they opened over ten years ago. I like ordering at the counter because I don't feel guilty if I don't have much or anything for a tip. They are always very friendly. I have had a couple of minor issues with their delivery, but they always make up for it and make it right for the customer. I think they bend over backwards to make the customer happy. It's really my favorite pizza place!

Love the pizza! when I lived here and still always try to get pizza when I visit my parents. I live in LA and it's true the pizza sucks there! eat it

This Barros is great. Never had an order messed up. They are quick and friendly. I don't like sauce on my wings, but the hubby does. They are happy to do half and half with sauce for dipping on the side.
