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.

This review is specifically about the take-out service. I can't speak to delivery or dining in, but as far as calling in an order and picking it up - this place was AMAZING! The staff was incredibly friendly and after they estimated a 20 minute wait time, my pizza was ready in 20 minutes ON THE DOT. I arrived to two hot pizzas with amazing flavor - a basic pepperoni and the Queen Margherita specialty pizza, which was packed with sliced Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, and fresh garlic. SO DELICIOUS! Now, the crust is super bready, so if you're not a fan of thick, chewy crusts, this is not the place for you. I, however, LOVE thick, chewy crusts with big crispy brick oven bubbles throughout, so I was in pizza heaven. The 20" pizza was humongous and two of them fed three starving adults and three famished kids pretty easily - we even had half a pie left over. This place is a great new addition to the Arcadia neighborhood and I can't wait to go back!

My pie was just okay. Ordered by phone, and this was my first impression of Rustic Pizza, not good. It seemed the gal taking my order was just learning the fine art of listening, or didn't know the menu. "I'd like to place an order to go." RP "You'd like to order a pizza"? Uh, yea? " Yes, the Sweet and Spicy with Pepperoni, Pineapple and Jalapeños" RP "Ham and Pineapple"? Uh, no? "Pepperoni, Pineapple and Jalapeño" RP "You want a specialty pizza"? Uh, whatever? So, I finally got through to her, and was told it'd be ready in 20min. Really? Wow, on a Saturday night? Cool, I thought. I now know why they ain't so busy...again, just okay. The pie was ready when I arrived, full of pepperoni, pineapple and jalapeño, and the sauce was flavorful. Not a lot of cheese...I'm big on cheese, so no complaints here, I would have liked more, but that's me. The crust is what killed it. I've had pizza with crust that I would eat plain, so I know its out there. If I don't want to eat the crust, the pizza becomes, well, just okay. It's certainly edible, but it needs to be more than that, heck, the crust is what carries the ingredients to my mouth and I want it to be a compliment, not just something that holds my pepperoni.

I came here for lunch, a coworker said they had good lunch specials, so why not. I ordered the two slices and a drink for 4.95. You can also get a salad and a slice of pizza for a few cents more and that comes with a drink as well. I ordered pepperoni, it was very hot and fresh, the pizza crust was great and crispy.My slices were large, could barely finish it. I'm going back today and going to get a salad this time. Perfect little lunch spot.
(4)Courtney T.
The BEST pizza ever. Period. Don't believe me try it! Several varieties to choose from. Honestly you can't go wrong with this place.
(5)Rachel T.
You can't beat their lunch specials and stay in Arcadia. Your choice - either 2 giant slices + soda for $4.95; or, 1 giant slice and a side salad + a soda for $5.95. I just wish they would fix their website and online ordering so I don't have to call in to order one of their other fantastic daily specials. And, that font. Oh, my eyes. I've never had a problem with customer service - except that one time, a couple years ago, when they had a "management issue" shortly after opening and closed for a random day or two. Forgive and forget, I say. I'm glad they worked it out and are still slangin' pies down the street from my place...time to order dinner!

This place has great pizza but my experience with this location has been awful. They either take over an hour to get you a pizza or they don't deliver it at all. The first time I tried to order a pizza from here they ended up being closed because of a management issue and I never got my pizza (I never got charged) but I also had to wait an hour and a half before realizing it was never coming. The second time I ordered we had to call about delivery and they had the address written down as Camelflower instead of Camelback. Took about 90 mins. The third time I tried to order a pizza it took 90 mins before it was delivered and that was only after I called to check in on it. They gave me a free pizza credited to my account as a result. Now, I'm sitting here waiting for yet another pizza that was quoted as being delivered in 45 mins.. It has been 90 minutes, again. We called to check in on the pizza (see a trend?) and they said they only had one driver. Now, I'm wondering if my pizza is going to be cold. Bottom line, if you can't figure out how to offer delivery then don't offer it. The food is good but the experience is awful. Stop telling people you deliver if you really don't (I could pull off this kind of delivery service as a one man shop). If you're wondering why Domino's or Pizza Hut has been successful it is because they've mastered the art of pizza delivery. Either figure your system out, or give it up. If you're wondering if you should try this place then you should drive to the location and enjoy the food. Don't wait for your pizza to be delivered. You might starve.

They changed their menu AND raised the prices without updating their menu online OR in person. The cashiers were not knowledgeable. When I came to pick up my pizza, they made the smaller one when I ordered a large. They fixed it but I had to wait another 30 mins and they still charged me the same. I won't not recommend this place as it was a very frustrating experience. Would've been better off ordering from a predictable place like papa johns.
(1)Maria K.
Had to drive from Scottsdale because the Giant Rustic near us closed. Worth the drive for their salads and slices. My kids and I love the Italian Kitchen Salad! Had to ask for the bread which is the best part as it no longer comes with the salad. While I'm sad the one in Scottsdale closed I'm glad this one is open. One of the best places in town for salad.
(4)Bill N.
Nice clean place to grab a slice of pizza. Very well priced very large slices. I have been to this place several times and the staff is always friendly and professional.
(5)Janelle E.
I give the pizza four stars and the customer service five stars. My husband and I dined in and ordered a large pizza with mushrooms and basil. The flavor is great, but the crust is a little thicker and the ratio between toppings and crust is not quite balanced. I will say, the place is popular though. During dinner there was a steady stream of people picking up pizzas. The employees are so nice and accommodating. Our waitress always made sure we had full cups of water. Also, I like the "rustic" walls and attention to detail in the decor.
(4)Jennifer O.
The husband and I stopped by here for a slice in mid December and I must say, it was alright. The slices are large and inexpensive. The crust was flavorful, but the slice was on the greasy side (and it was just cheese, so I can't imagine the grease factor if it had any kind of meat on it) and not very flavorful. Maybe their whole pies are better or maybe this was an off day, but I thought this was just a standard slice of pizza.... sort of like you might get in the mall food court. I would want to come back to try one of their specialty pizzas, which did look very good or possibly to order a whole pie.
(3)Carolyn B.
Had great pizza. Tried to call this weekend and I was on hold forever which is totally unusual. So I called their other location to see what was up. Camelback location is "temporarily" closed. They wouldn't give me a reason. The owner should change the phone message to let customers know what is going on - especially if they really are opening up again.

Wanted to give this place a try after seeing it served New York style pizza. Pizza by the slice option allowed us to t et you pizza and split a sandwich. This ended up to be a great way to try different items. We got a slice of pepperoni pizza which were pretty good size slices similar to the size of a costco size slice and then ordered the Italian Bird. The bread on the sandwich was exceptional with a good mixture of spices, meats and seasoning. The sandwich was definitely the high point of the meal. You have to fold the slice like a true new yorker when eating the slice of pizza. The place is located in the shopping plaza with the grind with a good portion of parking. The inside I dc the the restaurant is small bur nice and quaint. Liked the chalk board that listed the menu, was impressed by that. Will come back to try other items and also go to their North Scottsdale location which is closer to home.
(4)Stephanie V.
Cute ambiance/theme...very reasonable prices and specials....Could this possibly be the new Mamma Mia...hmmm I don't think anyone can top Mamma Mia, but it does come kinda close. The ingredients that MM used still reminds me of what NY pizza tasted like. I'll definitely come back to try the spinach dip and wings also.

If you love good pizza and face it who doesn't...then Giant Rustic Pizza is probably for you. I have eaten in here and today I got my order to go. They are fast, it never takes long, my take out today was ready in less then 15 minutes for pick up. The ingredients always taste like they are fresh you can tell allot of this stuff isn't coming out of a pre-frozen bag like the commercial places and if it is they are taking good care of it with proper storage techniques. Today I got the Sunday/Monday Special a large 3 topping pie and a dozen wings for just over $20. I think out the door with taxes it was like $24. As my gf put it...we smashed it!!! LOL! The pizza was good, we ordered a pepperoni sausage and extra cheese pie. It didn't seem like they went very hefty on the extra cheese I ordered but regardless the pizza was still pretty good. The wings were really good, not sure why they put the sauce on the side, I would of preferred the wings were tossed with the sauce...and they could of been cooked maybe another 1 or 2 minutes in my opinion. They were done...but think they could maybe used another minute to get a little more done. But we still smashed them so no complaints. LOL. We have been there before thou...when you go inside to eat you can get pizza by the slice if you choose, and its not like Little Caesars were its been sitting under a heat lamp, it's fresh and you can put your choice of toppings on it. I will say this about that though...if you go nuts on toppings you might as well get a pie. Toppings can be kind of pricey, but typically you can 2 pepperoni slices for around $5. As far as the ambiance goes..its cool...seems like it could use a bit brightening up... the place is a little small, I definitely wouldn't go there for a large birthday party, but considering there is a Baskin Robbins next door...it could be a fun little date. Would of given this place 5 stars if they had a tiny bar and were open a little later. I have never done delivery from this place so I can not speak to that, but I would like it more if this place were open later...a good late night pizza joint is hard to come by...especially one that delivers. I think they should stay open till at least midnight on Friday and Saturday instead of 10pm. In general I think they should be open later...but that's me.

Awesome pizza its close by to my place so very convenient to go or take away. They hav good healthy toppings. Pizza is very delicious

Very fast and fresh pizza , ingridients tast good! I will recoment and comeback . First time here after a great foot massage next door.

We decided to go for Giant Rustic Pizza shortly after it came to the Arcadia neighborhood on a night when cooking just wasn't going to happen. We found a deal for a three topping pizza and called our order in to pick up. The person who took our order was knowledgable and helpful. We also ordered the spinach artichoke dip on her suggestion. The spinach artichoke dip was nice, creamy and garlic-y and was served with thin slices of toasted French bread. Loved it. Pick up was a breeze and we enjoyed our still-hot pizza when we got home. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I feel like tarragon and oregano MAKE a pizza. Let me tell you, they were on point with their herbs, y'all. Good crust, just enough sauce. The toppings are pretty standard pepperoni and sausage (the sausage is sliced instead of crumbled) but still good. I'm not sure id put it above all others, but it's pretty good!
(4)Krista N.
We ordered from here again to give it another try. It was better, but still not great. There was more flavor in everything this time around but it still lacked. The next day, we heated it up and it was still only ok. If I could give half stars, they would get a half star upgrade. I have been to another location and the pizza is amazing so I know the potential this place has! Come on Arcadia location, make it happen!!!!
(3)Luis A.
This place is food poisoning in the making. When you order a slice employees never wash their hands nor do they use gloves, and that's all after taking your money and ringing up an order. If you order an artichoke dip expect it to be microwaved for couple minutes stirred with any tool available (finger, pens, thermometer) then microwaved again. I was surprised and disgusted with the level of sanitation in this place. Eat at your own risk.

I am of the opinion that there is no great pizza in Scottsdale, having been raised in NY I like the NY style with the real mozzarella (aka greasy, messy and tasty). Many reviewers refer to this place having NY style pizza and I respectfully disagree. I mean no offense to anyone ... I realize I am in AZ now, and my wife says this may make me sound like a jerk! That said, this is the best pizza I have had in AZ, albeit far from NY style. The crust is fantastic. The toppings are a little sparse, but taste fresh. I love their stringy red onions and flavorful mushrooms. I have had a few sandwiches each with fresh ingredients and the bread is amazingly yummy. The baked wings are also a stand out here. I have only had delivery (many times), which is always fast and everything arrives hot and intact. All in all, a very good pizza place for "healthy" rustic style pizza, sandwiches and baked wings.
(4)Erica P.
Accidentally stumbled upon this place while stopping at Fresh & Easy next door. Best pizza in Arizona, easily. I have lots of family on the east coast and I always complain about how you can't get pizza that tasty here in AZ -- but Giant Rustic Pizza is as close as you can get. It's delicious, I won't order pizza from anywhere else now. Pricing is also great for how much pizza you get. Atmosphere is good, and the employees are all great as well.
(5)Joe D.
I happened upon this place and because it was so close to home I decided to try it. The pizza was very good, the wings came with sauce on the side which I thought was odd. They didn't seem too busy when I went to pick it up, almost like they were waiting for me to come so they could leave, it was ready pretty quick too, like 15 minutes or so (they said they discontinued delivery by 8:30, it was 8:35 or so when I called--- not a big deal I totally get it) None of this bothered me again food was great. When I had called again on a Friday night there was no answer, it was 7:45pm or so, I tried calling multiple times. Finally I went there and they we're closed! At 8pm on a Friday night! Stools up and everything. That was disappointing, I will try them again, hopefully I catch them before they bounce.

I think this location is closed. The phone never picks up and can't order online. Sucks.
(1)Stacy M.
Gave this place 2 try's. Very average, too thick of pizza for me... I prefer thinner such as NYPD, Bianco, not sure the hype on here. Also had the wings which I actually preferred over the pizza. Quick service if you call it in, therefore 1 star for service.
(3)Sean C.
This is the best Pizza in AZ that I have had yet. The place is very Vegetarian friendly and everything from the food to the service had been the best that I have had in Phoenix. As I said I walked in last night looking for a new pizza place while moving to the area. Gina was friendly and accommodating beyond what I expect from any food service. I have never felt more welcomed to a restaurant ever. The best part is that not only was the service amazing but the food will keep me coming back alone it is the best I have had ever. I will be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know,
(5)James B.
The pizza is really good and tastes much more authentic than most pizza places. The wings come without sauce and the sauce is in the side which is a bit weird. It seems difficult to get all of the sauces and the correct amount of sauces especially for a large wing order. Online ordering would be really nice too. I think if those were fixed it would be 5 star.
(4)James A.
Worst service ever! My company made a huge order last week, the order came more than an hour late and delivered half the order. When we called to find out where the rest of the order was the lady on the line said she was quote"doing us a favor" .... Really I didn't know having us pay you fro product and service was doing a us a favor last time I checked you need customers to stay in business????? I would never go here again and the over 200 employees we have who are in close proximity to this place will also not be giving them any of our business again! WORST EVER!!
(1)David B.
I love, love, love East Coast style pizza!!! HUGE slices and awesome sauce. The location in the Safeway center has seen many Pizza places come and go quick. I really hope they have the staying power so get the word out and go give it a try. FYI I went to the Scottsdale location in the Safeway shopping center on FLR Blvd
(5)Kristen A.
we waited an hour for our pizza to be delivered, which i find kind of ridiculous, but on sunday night i'm sure a lot of people probably aren't interested in cooking (just like us), so whatever. not a huge deal, just kind of strange. when we did finally get our pizza, it was luke warm and just sort've... meh. the toppings were fine; they use sliced sausage, which i prefer, but it didn't have much flavor. the crust was pretty sub par too. i love carbs--LOVE them--and i ALWAYS eat my crust, but i couldn't eat this crush :( when there wasn't sauce/cheese/toppings on it, its gross and dry and had no flavor. i'm sure plenty of people will like giant rustic pizza (the reviews say so, anyway), but i just wasn't a fan.
(2)Meka L.
The food is awesome! We're staying at the Montelucia and wanted take out. The ordering process is very friendly and organized. To top it off the food is really good. We had the 20' meat pizza and buffalo wings. Will be back when in the area.

Thank you Lindsay for suggesting this hidden gem! I never looked to my left when entering Fresh & Easy! and there it was! Super nice staff - excellent food! RMacy
(5)Lydia W.
I've been here now several times and they have never disappointed. From the Chipotle sandwich to pizza to wings - it has all been delicious. The staff is super friendly too and the place is kept clean and neat. I love that you can walk by and see into the kitchen area too. Great place and I highly recommend it!

This is a solid choice for good pizza. It's not gourmet but is certainly leaps and bounds above a Domino's or Pizza Hut. They are consistent in both the quality of food and delivery time. We are now loyal customers to this little strip mall gem! Hint: We like to ask for a little extra cook time on the crust. It makes a big difference!
(4)Brandon K.
Great pizza, chewy crust and nice sauce. Yes, they have slices. Really friendly service.
(5)Kimberly C.
Great pizza place for lunch or dinner. We had a group of five (with three boys) and felt pretty satisfied with a giant pizza for $20. Next time we'll probably add wings though. We did half and half margarita and BBQ chicken. The margarita was good but the BBQ chicken was my favorite, it had great flavor with a hint of sweetness. The crust was tasty and one of the better ones that I have had. Service was great -- they were attentive and friendly. All in all a solid pizza place and one that we will probably frequent often for lunch!
(5)Michelle H.
Great pizza and amazing salads. Such friendly service too. Will stop here often especially for the salads
(5)Kendrick W.
Had the 14 in Big Berlescori. It was very good. I love it. It is pepperoni , sausage and Italian salami. Not sure why other reviews said their wasn't much flavor. It was seriously some of the best pizza I've had. Maybe they made changes to their pizza but right now it is spot on. I also really like the decor here. I'm from the country so the very rustic old barn wood they use to decorate looks really cool. Wish I could have a cabin or house like this. Very cool on the inside for being in a strip mall.
(5)Ryan J.
The great thing about the Phoenix pizza scene is that we are big enough to have pizza options for almost every occasion. Where does Giant Rustic Pizza fit? It is the ideal spot for some cheap NY style lunch slices or to take the kids for dinner on a weeknight. It's not Pomo or even Spinatos but you will be hard pressed to find a better pizza lunch deal for under $6.
(4)Kyle H.
Place is great, nice hole in the wall feel with good pizza and friendly staff. Good lunch specials with pizza by the slice as well. Slices are huge!
(5)Paul P.
This place is owned by a friend of a friend so I want to see them succeed and I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. That said, I'm torn. I's a great price for a giant pizza but it lacks flavor and they only deliver to the other side of a postage stamp. The Good: Huge pizza for a decent price... The Bad: I want to love it but it lacks flavor. I think the sauce could use more olive oil, garlic, basil and a pinch of salt to bring it out. The crust is a wonderful texture but again, not much flavor. The pie could benefit from a little pecorino or parmesan in the cheese mix too. The Ugly: if you want it delivered, you better live across the street because that's the boundary! We live less than two miles and we're told we are outside of their delivery area... Hmmmmmm. I hope they'll tweak a few things so I can love this place and give it five stars!
(3)Chris D.
Update: Went back last night and tried the pizza (chicken pesto). It was phenomenal. Same incredibly friendly service. I will be going back regularly (and looking forward to trying the rest of the menu). I had the turkey slaw sandwich. Giant portions, absolutely delicious. Really cool decor inside. Friendliest staff you could imagine. Looking forward to trying the pizza.
(5)Meribah R.
Tried this place for the first time Saturday, and I must say they live up to their name! For $22 you can get a giant pie with up to 5 toppings and the best part is the toppings are fresh and the wait was only 20 minutes. I am defiantly coming back here regularly.
(5)Isla B.
Locally owned & operated here in the valley. Both Scottsdale & Phoenix location are awesome. Lunch deal is the best in town and pizza is wonderful. They can do pretty much whatever you want and everything on the menu is good! This location rocks because you can dine in or take out

I'm pretty happy with Giant Rustic Pizza. There aren't too many NY style pizza joints in the Arcadia area, at least not too many good ones in my opinion. I usually will travel to N. Scottsdale to Ray's if I'm craving pizza like home. That being said I thought Giant Rustic Pizza was pretty good, not quite the same as NY but good enough for me to return. My husband and I wanted a cheat meal and both checked out the menu. I wanted to try the Red White & Green which is a white pizza and my husband really wanted a more traditional style with sauce. I asked if they could do half & half and they said "yes." We both got what we wanted, which is awesome. We also ordered the Italian salad which was somewhat like an antipasto with lettuce, the portion size was very generous. Both types of pizza were very flavorful, the white pizza had some nice ricotta on it and the red pizza had great sauce. I can't comment too much on the ambiance as we got our order to-go, but the staff was very nice and our order was fast. I will definitely return!

Kids loved the cheese pizza. We built our own with carmelized onions, green bell peppers, italian sausage, kalamata olives--it was solid. All fresh. The owners are the same group that founded NYPD until it was sold to owners who stopped going fresh. New York style stuff here at Giant Rustic. They go so far as to match their filtered water with what they had back in Yonkers. That's commitment. Great scene here off Camelback, too. They deliver. Solid place. I prefer it now over all the others that deliver to us. Again, kids like it. Thank the Lord. You can also get a slice inside which is key.

Glad we finally tried Giant Rustic Arcadia! Very good pizza: sauce was good, amount of toppings great, quality of ingredients fantastic, customer service very good...and they deliver! Will definitely be back! If you're looking for high quality delivery, not the big box chains, I'd highly recommend!
(4)Austin C.
Great wings, artichoke dip, and pizza. Great addition to the neighborhood as our other pizza options aren't so good. My only criticism would be the cursive on their online menu. It's very difficult to read and makes me feel illiterate. Other than stirring feelings of inadequacy this will be our go to pizza spot!
(5)Danielle R.
Fantastic pizza and you can't beat the lunch special (2 slices and a drink for $5). The slices are huge and FULL of flavor! I took home a menu so we can take advantage of the other specials and specialty pizza selections for a go-to dinner.
(5)Robert F.
I don't know why there are negative reviews. The crust is almost as good as Pino's, ingredients are fresh and the service is fine. And they make a 20" pie, forget about it.
(5)S D.
The staff are soo nice and welcoming! Can't say enough about how great this pizza joint is. One of my favorite places after a long day of work. Highly recommend!
(5)C L.
I've been three times now. Great pizza with great pricing. We had the Thursday night special. Any 14" specialty pizza and large rustic salad. The Malibu bbq pizza was fantastic. Not too sweet and just the right amount of toppings. The Italian Kitchen salad was full of meat and cheese, great olive tapenade with artichoke hearts and roasted peppers. All this food for $20. This will be our Thursday night standard!
(4)Tyler A.
The sauce and cheese have less flavor than the box. The crust was puffy and lacked a good chewy texture. It was pillowy, which is bad crust in my book. At least it's priced fairly, the staff is pleasant and it has a good location for the neighborhood. They also sell pieces by the slice. Nevertheless, I won't be going back.
(2)Al S.
Really good food. Wings, a sandwich, and a pizza were ordered for delivery, it took over an hour, which is the reason the 5th star is missing. Had I been told, I would have picked it up.
(4)Justin C.
Had the chicken caprese sandwich. Amazing! The bread, mozzarella, tomatoes, and chicken were very fresh.
(5)Angie A.
This review is a long time coming...Giant Rustic is just amazing! The food is spot on, the service is always impeccable, and the delivery is speedy, esp for such a fresh and delicious pizza. And I honestly don't usually like pizza, but I LOVE this place. I absolutely love their 'Red, White! & Green' pizza and I like to add their juicy roasted chicken (there is a garlic base, so no tomato sauce...and I personally avoid the sliced tomatoes on it too bc of an allergy, but my bf loves it with them!) I also highly recommend their amazing artichoke dip and chicken wings. Mmmm...it's the best feast around! I rarely write a review, but Giant Rustic really went above and beyond and deserves great praise. I was sick and exhausted one sad Sunday, but I was so hungry, I picked myself up to get takeout from them. I wanted to try their crustless pizza, but asked to make sure no tomato sauce was used, bc of my allergy. When I got home, they unfortunately made a mistake and added tomato sauce. It was an honest mistake...but I was so ill, hungry, & frustrated, I called them to complain, just so they would make note in my account of my allergy, for future orders. Well, I feel like when you typically call a restaurant and let them know they made a mistake on a takeout order, at best, the manager might say "next time you're in, we'll make it up to you" or try and get me to drive aaaaall the way back to get the order correct. Not Giant Rustic! They were an absolute joy and gave superior customer service by, not only delivering the correct order within minutes to my door (which is pretty awesome bc this is when I was out of the delivery zone), but also giving me a free slice of delicious pie & a nice note that said "Feel better :)". That personal touch really did it for me and I was so pleased that they went out of their way to make their sick & sad customer's day much better. They earned a patron for life with that....hell, I think I'm going to order tonight! So I highly highly recommend this place! Not only are you going to get an amazing, mouthwatering meal, but you will also get service with a smile & a true appreciation for your business, which is sometimes hard to find nowadays. Thank you GRP!

We ate there Friday night and it was an absolute delight. Scott the owner, the staff and the décor was very inviting. The pizza was very good. The combination of the tasty crust, the right amount of sauce and a fresh mozzarella along with quality toppings makes it the best pizza I've had in Arcadia area. It was even tasty the next day. What I liked about it the most is that they're not trying to be a fancy place or going all snobby on the food as the Arcadia area restaurants do way too much. They obviously just want to be a pizza parlor offering a good pizza, at a fair price and they seem to be doing a good job of it. They also have BYOB, you can bring in your own bottle of wine or beer and drink it with your food. I don't why but I find this kind of cool We will definitely be back.
(4)J B.
Was good. Had a slice of pepperoni. Will soon become my go to pizza place for the neighborhood! Clean place. Friendly staff. Decently priced.
(4)Christina M.
Very good, thinner pizza but puffy crust, neat place to eat in at as well....every time I have gone it's tasted great!
(5)Nicole S.
We have eaten pizza from Giant Rustic on 6 occasions. We love the Red, White and Green sub Sun-Dried Tomatoes. That being said, tonight's experience warrants a 1 star rating. We were first turned-on to Giant Rustic by friends. We loved it enough to order it the next week at our own home. Everything was great. The next time we tried them, we waited forever for our pizza when we picked it up in the store. They gave us free dessert for our troubles. The owner (?) was very apologetic. Nice save. The next time we ordered was for delivery. They went to the wrong house. We had ordered for friends who were in from out of town and had rented a vacation home. Though we specified the different address, they went to our home (we suspect) and not to the rental where our friends were staying. The food was delayed. You can see by the above experiences, though the product is good, the service at Giant Rustic has not been consistent. Then we discuss tonight's debacle. We called to order for delivery. We specified delivery and we specified the address. The person at the other end of the phone told us our pizza would be 45 minutes. At an hour and six minutes after we placed our order, we called Giant Rustic. We spoke to the person who had TAKEN OUR ORDER and she told us that our food had been marked for pick-up and had been waiting for us. We asked them to re-make the food so that it would be fresh and told them that we would come up to get the order. We asked how much time would be needed for the new pizza to be ready. The woman who took our order, Suzanne, clarified our order (again) and said it would be 15 minutes. The location of the store is 40th and Camelback. We live at 36th st, just south of Thomas. I left three minutes after my phone call and drove to Giant Rustic. Oddly enough, our pizza was ready. There is no way it took me 12 minutes to get there. Yet, here they were presenting boxes of pizza to me. There were also no pizzas in the oven baking. Hmm...I asked if these pizzas were the re-makes and I was assured that yes, they were. Upon inspection of "our" order, I pointed out that the Red, White and Green was supposed to have sun-dried Tomatoes. At this point, the customer service lady looked at the ticket and said, "Well, they didn't even take the order right. Oh wait, this isn't even your order."So, two boxes get whisked away and another two are placed in front of me. Again, NOTHING came from the oven. The two pizzas that were presented were indeed correct. I asked the second customer service person, "Are these the re-makes?" He assures me that, yes. They are. The bottom of the pizza boxes were warm, not hot. But what can I do? Two people have told me these are my pizzas, re-made. I am charged full price for my pizzas, not offered an apology (I did get one on the phone prior to the other shake-up), and sent on my way. Once I got home, I bit into luke-warm pizza with a chewy crust. This pizza was purchased so that my in-laws, who are recent Arizona transplants, could try the deliciousness that is Giant Rustic Pizza. EPIC, EPIC fail. I am so disappointed. Bad listening, incompetence and lies. All in one encounter tonight at Giant Rustic Pizza. I think we are on a break with this establishment for awhile. I hope this place figures out where the break in the chain is. The food is great. Service, not so much.
(1)Anita L.
For the price, it's great pizza! We just ate here for the first time tonight and had the wings and a pepperoni pizza. Both were very good. It's a small location with minimal seating so your better off getting the pizza to go. We'll definitely be back.

The first time I stopped in was New Years Eve picked up a menu around 2:00 PM and was told that they would be open later i th evening. I called in around 5:15 PM and was told they were closed for New Years Eve. I was shocked, the person I talked to was very very sorry for the inconvenience this caused me and promised me a free pizza. I thought like this guy is not going to remember me. Well to my surprise Scott the owner did remember me and he pulled out the piece of paper that he wrote my name on New Years Eve about the Free Pizza. I was really impressed or should I say shocked that this man did this. So today I went in and ordered the Pesto Chicken pizza and OMG it was awesome. The crust is nice, not to thin not to thick and the chicken pieces were small chunks, not shredded or bland tasting. I will be back to try Queen Margherita Pizza. I will support Rustic Pizza because the staff is awesome and the Scott the owner is priceless. Happy New Year to all. - Jodi O

Wow! Delicious HUGE pizza, great salad, speedy delivery in the Biltmore-Arcadia area and decent prices. I'm in heaven!
(5)Rachel T.
You can't beat their lunch specials and stay in Arcadia. Your choice - either 2 giant slices + soda for $4.95; or, 1 giant slice and a side salad + a soda for $5.95. I just wish they would fix their website and online ordering so I don't have to call in to order one of their other fantastic daily specials. And, that font. Oh, my eyes. I've never had a problem with customer service - except that one time, a couple years ago, when they had a "management issue" shortly after opening and closed for a random day or two. Forgive and forget, I say. I'm glad they worked it out and are still slangin' pies down the street from my place...time to order dinner!
(4)Amie T.
This place has great pizza but my experience with this location has been awful. They either take over an hour to get you a pizza or they don't deliver it at all. The first time I tried to order a pizza from here they ended up being closed because of a management issue and I never got my pizza (I never got charged) but I also had to wait an hour and a half before realizing it was never coming. The second time I ordered we had to call about delivery and they had the address written down as Camelflower instead of Camelback. Took about 90 mins. The third time I tried to order a pizza it took 90 mins before it was delivered and that was only after I called to check in on it. They gave me a free pizza credited to my account as a result. Now, I'm sitting here waiting for yet another pizza that was quoted as being delivered in 45 mins.. It has been 90 minutes, again. We called to check in on the pizza (see a trend?) and they said they only had one driver. Now, I'm wondering if my pizza is going to be cold. Bottom line, if you can't figure out how to offer delivery then don't offer it. The food is good but the experience is awful. Stop telling people you deliver if you really don't (I could pull off this kind of delivery service as a one man shop). If you're wondering why Domino's or Pizza Hut has been successful it is because they've mastered the art of pizza delivery. Either figure your system out, or give it up. If you're wondering if you should try this place then you should drive to the location and enjoy the food. Don't wait for your pizza to be delivered. You might starve.
(1)S K.
They changed their menu AND raised the prices without updating their menu online OR in person. The cashiers were not knowledgeable. When I came to pick up my pizza, they made the smaller one when I ordered a large. They fixed it but I had to wait another 30 mins and they still charged me the same. I won't not recommend this place as it was a very frustrating experience. Would've been better off ordering from a predictable place like papa johns.
(1)Maria K.
Had to drive from Scottsdale because the Giant Rustic near us closed. Worth the drive for their salads and slices. My kids and I love the Italian Kitchen Salad! Had to ask for the bread which is the best part as it no longer comes with the salad. While I'm sad the one in Scottsdale closed I'm glad this one is open. One of the best places in town for salad.
(4)Danie P.
The delivery guy was probably the nicest delivery guy I've ever met. The pizza was amazing!
(5)January S.
So we tried ordering from these guys on Memorial Day. I went online and didn't see anything posted about whether or not they were taking the holiday off. When I called, I got put on the answering machine loop explaining that they were taking other calls but did you know that Rustic pizza bla-bla-bla. Anyway after 5mins on hold I decided just to drive over there as I live close by and indeed they were closed for the holiday. Now they could have changed the machine message or posted something on their site, but hey I get lazy too sometime, and actually doing that takes a bit of time and everyone is entitled to a holiday. I was more disappointed than peeved, as my wife and I had drooled over the menu and had taken the time to decide what we would order before we actually tried calling. Plus I was a tad Hangry so there was that too. For what it's worth, the Fresh N easy next door is open 24/7 so I went in there and grabbed 2 DiGiornno frozen pizzas for 12 bucks and after 20min in the oven were FANTASTIC!! Frozen za has come a long way! So if you are ever at Rustic and they are closed, grab some DiGiorno! It's tastes like delivery! It really does! Last night, we decided to try Rustic pizza again and so we ordered a half pepperoni/sausage add mushrooms and half Green and White. We also added a bakers dozen of their baked chicken wings. The order came promptly, and we were pleasantly surprised that it was a woman driver. Our first one ever! The food from Giant Rustic Pizza was AWESOME! The pizza was HUGE and the topping were bountiful and tasty. The crust was thin and bubbly and crispy, the cheese rich, the sauce delicate and delightful! The chicken wings were also really good and baked to perfection! (Just got hungry writing this and am currently munching on a cold tasty slice!) I'm glad to have found this gem of a pizzaria nearby and we will certainly order from them again soon! Giant Rustic Pizza was worth the wait!
(4)Arielle A.
The pizza is really good. The slices are huge. The house salad is super amazing. The creamy Italian dressing is yummy. The customer service is fabulous. They are so friendly and energetic! I will definitely be back for another salad and pizza. The interior is very woodsy and cool looking. I recommend this place if u live in the area and even if you don't since it is awesome!!!
(5)John W.
Excellent hand tossed stone hearth baked pizza. Prices are excellent. This could be the next big thing in pizza. Highly recommended..
(5)Monica F.
Cute new local spot, close to home, and we were excited to try it. Greeted by a lovely, bubbly little Italian woman, we had high hopes. While the pizza is in fact giant in size, it's unfortunately not so big on flavor. We ate a few bites and left. The owners seemed like really nice people. But their focus on size (the little Italian lady kept telling us that its the biggest pizza in the city by two inches) is short cited from our perspective. While families on a budge might appreciate the size, those looking for a great pizza will go elsewhere. The local competitors (Bianco, Pomo, and even LGO) are simply too good for this place to make it.
(2)CC C.
We received a free slice offer in the mail and decided to stop by for pizza and a salad. The space has a nice rustic feel with indoor and outdoor seating. There are plenty of menu options including salad, pizza and sandwiches and they also allow BYOB. The pizza and salad was great (under $3 for a slice with toppings) and this place is a great alternative to the other formal pizza parlors in the area.
(5)Ryan R.
Kids loved the cheese pizza. We built our own with carmelized onions, green bell peppers, italian sausage, kalamata olives--it was solid. All fresh. The owners are the same group that founded NYPD until it was sold to owners who stopped going fresh. New York style stuff here at Giant Rustic. They go so far as to match their filtered water with what they had back in Yonkers. That's commitment. Great scene here off Camelback, too. They deliver. Solid place. I prefer it now over all the others that deliver to us. Again, kids like it. Thank the Lord. You can also get a slice inside which is key.
(4)Kyle H.
Place is great, nice hole in the wall feel with good pizza and friendly staff. Good lunch specials with pizza by the slice as well. Slices are huge!
(5)Don C.
Great NY-style pizza...
(4)Ryan J.
The great thing about the Phoenix pizza scene is that we are big enough to have pizza options for almost every occasion. Where does Giant Rustic Pizza fit? It is the ideal spot for some cheap NY style lunch slices or to take the kids for dinner on a weeknight. It's not Pomo or even Spinatos but you will be hard pressed to find a better pizza lunch deal for under $6.
(4)Austin C.
Great wings, artichoke dip, and pizza. Great addition to the neighborhood as our other pizza options aren't so good. My only criticism would be the cursive on their online menu. It's very difficult to read and makes me feel illiterate. Other than stirring feelings of inadequacy this will be our go to pizza spot!

This place is owned by a friend of a friend so I want to see them succeed and I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. That said, I'm torn. I's a great price for a giant pizza but it lacks flavor and they only deliver to the other side of a postage stamp. The Good: Huge pizza for a decent price... The Bad: I want to love it but it lacks flavor. I think the sauce could use more olive oil, garlic, basil and a pinch of salt to bring it out. The crust is a wonderful texture but again, not much flavor. The pie could benefit from a little pecorino or parmesan in the cheese mix too. The Ugly: if you want it delivered, you better live across the street because that's the boundary! We live less than two miles and we're told we are outside of their delivery area... Hmmmmmm. I hope they'll tweak a few things so I can love this place and give it five stars!
(3)Chris D.
Update: Went back last night and tried the pizza (chicken pesto). It was phenomenal. Same incredibly friendly service. I will be going back regularly (and looking forward to trying the rest of the menu). I had the turkey slaw sandwich. Giant portions, absolutely delicious. Really cool decor inside. Friendliest staff you could imagine. Looking forward to trying the pizza.
(5)Meribah R.
Tried this place for the first time Saturday, and I must say they live up to their name! For $22 you can get a giant pie with up to 5 toppings and the best part is the toppings are fresh and the wait was only 20 minutes. I am defiantly coming back here regularly.
(5)Isla B.
Locally owned & operated here in the valley. Both Scottsdale & Phoenix location are awesome. Lunch deal is the best in town and pizza is wonderful. They can do pretty much whatever you want and everything on the menu is good! This location rocks because you can dine in or take out

I've been three times now. Great pizza with great pricing. We had the Thursday night special. Any 14" specialty pizza and large rustic salad. The Malibu bbq pizza was fantastic. Not too sweet and just the right amount of toppings. The Italian Kitchen salad was full of meat and cheese, great olive tapenade with artichoke hearts and roasted peppers. All this food for $20. This will be our Thursday night standard!
(4)Tyler A.
The sauce and cheese have less flavor than the box. The crust was puffy and lacked a good chewy texture. It was pillowy, which is bad crust in my book. At least it's priced fairly, the staff is pleasant and it has a good location for the neighborhood. They also sell pieces by the slice. Nevertheless, I won't be going back.

Really good food. Wings, a sandwich, and a pizza were ordered for delivery, it took over an hour, which is the reason the 5th star is missing. Had I been told, I would have picked it up.

We spoke to the person who had TAKEN OUR ORDER and she told us that our food had been marked for pick-up and had been waiting for us. We asked them to re-make the food so that it would be fresh and told them that we would come up to get the order. We asked how much time would be needed for the new pizza to be ready. The woman who took our order, Suzanne, clarified our order (again) and said it would be 15 minutes. The location of the store is 40th and Camelback. We live at 36th st, just south of Thomas. I left three minutes after my phone call and drove to Giant Rustic. Oddly enough, our pizza was ready. There is no way it took me 12 minutes to get there. Yet, here they were presenting boxes of pizza to me. There were also no pizzas in the oven baking. Hmm...I asked if these pizzas were the re-makes and I was assured that yes, they were. Upon inspection of "our" order, I pointed out that the Red, White and Green was supposed to have sun-dried Tomatoes. At this point, the customer service lady looked at the ticket and said, "Well, they didn't even take the order right. Oh wait, this isn't even your order."So, two boxes get whisked away and another two are placed in front of me. Again, NOTHING came from the oven. The two pizzas that were presented were indeed correct. I asked the second customer service person, "Are these the re-makes?" He assures me that, yes. They are. The bottom of the pizza boxes were warm, not hot. But what can I do? Two people have told me these are my pizzas, re-made. I am charged full price for my pizzas, not offered an apology (I did get one on the phone prior to the other shake-up), and sent on my way. Once I got home, I bit into luke-warm pizza with a chewy crust. This pizza was purchased so that my in-laws, who are recent Arizona transplants, could try the deliciousness that is Giant Rustic Pizza. EPIC, EPIC fail. I am so disappointed. Bad listening, incompetence and lies. All in one encounter tonight at Giant Rustic Pizza. I think we are on a break with this establishment for awhile. I hope this place figures out where the break in the chain is. The food is great. Service, not so much.

For the price, it's great pizza! We just ate here for the first time tonight and had the wings and a pepperoni pizza. Both were very good. It's a small location with minimal seating so your better off getting the pizza to go. We'll definitely be back.

The delivery guy was probably the nicest delivery guy I've ever met. The pizza was amazing!

We received a free slice offer in the mail and decided to stop by for pizza and a salad. The space has a nice rustic feel with indoor and outdoor seating. There are plenty of menu options including salad, pizza and sandwiches and they also allow BYOB. The pizza and salad was great (under $3 for a slice with toppings) and this place is a great alternative to the other formal pizza parlors in the area.

The first time I stopped in was New Years Eve picked up a menu around 2:00 PM and was told that they would be open later i th evening. I called in around 5:15 PM and was told they were closed for New Years Eve. I was shocked, the person I talked to was very very sorry for the inconvenience this caused me and promised me a free pizza. I thought like this guy is not going to remember me. Well to my surprise Scott the owner did remember me and he pulled out the piece of paper that he wrote my name on New Years Eve about the Free Pizza. I was really impressed or should I say shocked that this man did this. So today I went in and ordered the Pesto Chicken pizza and OMG it was awesome. The crust is nice, not to thin not to thick and the chicken pieces were small chunks, not shredded or bland tasting. I will be back to try Queen Margherita Pizza. I will support Rustic Pizza because the staff is awesome and the Scott the owner is priceless. Happy New Year to all. - Jodi O

Wow! Delicious HUGE pizza, great salad, speedy delivery in the Biltmore-Arcadia area and decent prices. I'm in heaven!
(5)Carolyn B.
Had great pizza. Tried to call this weekend and I was on hold forever which is totally unusual. So I called their other location to see what was up. Camelback location is "temporarily" closed. They wouldn't give me a reason. The owner should change the phone message to let customers know what is going on - especially if they really are opening up again.
(1)Rachel T.
You can't beat their lunch specials and stay in Arcadia. Your choice - either 2 giant slices + soda for $4.95; or, 1 giant slice and a side salad + a soda for $5.95. I just wish they would fix their website and online ordering so I don't have to call in to order one of their other fantastic daily specials. And, that font. Oh, my eyes. I've never had a problem with customer service - except that one time, a couple years ago, when they had a "management issue" shortly after opening and closed for a random day or two. Forgive and forget, I say. I'm glad they worked it out and are still slangin' pies down the street from my place...time to order dinner!
(4)Amie T.
This place has great pizza but my experience with this location has been awful. They either take over an hour to get you a pizza or they don't deliver it at all. The first time I tried to order a pizza from here they ended up being closed because of a management issue and I never got my pizza (I never got charged) but I also had to wait an hour and a half before realizing it was never coming. The second time I ordered we had to call about delivery and they had the address written down as Camelflower instead of Camelback. Took about 90 mins. The third time I tried to order a pizza it took 90 mins before it was delivered and that was only after I called to check in on it. They gave me a free pizza credited to my account as a result. Now, I'm sitting here waiting for yet another pizza that was quoted as being delivered in 45 mins.. It has been 90 minutes, again. We called to check in on the pizza (see a trend?) and they said they only had one driver. Now, I'm wondering if my pizza is going to be cold. Bottom line, if you can't figure out how to offer delivery then don't offer it. The food is good but the experience is awful. Stop telling people you deliver if you really don't (I could pull off this kind of delivery service as a one man shop). If you're wondering why Domino's or Pizza Hut has been successful it is because they've mastered the art of pizza delivery. Either figure your system out, or give it up. If you're wondering if you should try this place then you should drive to the location and enjoy the food. Don't wait for your pizza to be delivered. You might starve.
(1)S K.
They changed their menu AND raised the prices without updating their menu online OR in person. The cashiers were not knowledgeable. When I came to pick up my pizza, they made the smaller one when I ordered a large. They fixed it but I had to wait another 30 mins and they still charged me the same. I won't not recommend this place as it was a very frustrating experience. Would've been better off ordering from a predictable place like papa johns.
(1)Maria K.
Had to drive from Scottsdale because the Giant Rustic near us closed. Worth the drive for their salads and slices. My kids and I love the Italian Kitchen Salad! Had to ask for the bread which is the best part as it no longer comes with the salad. While I'm sad the one in Scottsdale closed I'm glad this one is open. One of the best places in town for salad.
(4)Bill N.
Nice clean place to grab a slice of pizza. Very well priced very large slices. I have been to this place several times and the staff is always friendly and professional.
(5)Jennifer O.
The husband and I stopped by here for a slice in mid December and I must say, it was alright. The slices are large and inexpensive. The crust was flavorful, but the slice was on the greasy side (and it was just cheese, so I can't imagine the grease factor if it had any kind of meat on it) and not very flavorful. Maybe their whole pies are better or maybe this was an off day, but I thought this was just a standard slice of pizza.... sort of like you might get in the mall food court. I would want to come back to try one of their specialty pizzas, which did look very good or possibly to order a whole pie.
(3)Wayne B.
My pie was just okay. Ordered by phone, and this was my first impression of Rustic Pizza, not good. It seemed the gal taking my order was just learning the fine art of listening, or didn't know the menu. "I'd like to place an order to go." RP "You'd like to order a pizza"? Uh, yea? " Yes, the Sweet and Spicy with Pepperoni, Pineapple and Jalapeños" RP "Ham and Pineapple"? Uh, no? "Pepperoni, Pineapple and Jalapeño" RP "You want a specialty pizza"? Uh, whatever? So, I finally got through to her, and was told it'd be ready in 20min. Really? Wow, on a Saturday night? Cool, I thought. I now know why they ain't so busy...again, just okay. The pie was ready when I arrived, full of pepperoni, pineapple and jalapeño, and the sauce was flavorful. Not a lot of cheese...I'm big on cheese, so no complaints here, I would have liked more, but that's me. The crust is what killed it. I've had pizza with crust that I would eat plain, so I know its out there. If I don't want to eat the crust, the pizza becomes, well, just okay. It's certainly edible, but it needs to be more than that, heck, the crust is what carries the ingredients to my mouth and I want it to be a compliment, not just something that holds my pepperoni.
(3)Frankie S.
This review is specifically about the take-out service. I can't speak to delivery or dining in, but as far as calling in an order and picking it up - this place was AMAZING! The staff was incredibly friendly and after they estimated a 20 minute wait time, my pizza was ready in 20 minutes ON THE DOT. I arrived to two hot pizzas with amazing flavor - a basic pepperoni and the Queen Margherita specialty pizza, which was packed with sliced Roma tomatoes, fresh basil, and fresh garlic. SO DELICIOUS! Now, the crust is super bready, so if you're not a fan of thick, chewy crusts, this is not the place for you. I, however, LOVE thick, chewy crusts with big crispy brick oven bubbles throughout, so I was in pizza heaven. The 20" pizza was humongous and two of them fed three starving adults and three famished kids pretty easily - we even had half a pie left over. This place is a great new addition to the Arcadia neighborhood and I can't wait to go back!
(5)Crystal S.
I came here for lunch, a coworker said they had good lunch specials, so why not. I ordered the two slices and a drink for 4.95. You can also get a salad and a slice of pizza for a few cents more and that comes with a drink as well. I ordered pepperoni, it was very hot and fresh, the pizza crust was great and crispy.My slices were large, could barely finish it. I'm going back today and going to get a salad this time. Perfect little lunch spot.
(4)Courtney T.
The BEST pizza ever. Period. Don't believe me try it! Several varieties to choose from. Honestly you can't go wrong with this place.
(5)Janelle E.
I give the pizza four stars and the customer service five stars. My husband and I dined in and ordered a large pizza with mushrooms and basil. The flavor is great, but the crust is a little thicker and the ratio between toppings and crust is not quite balanced. I will say, the place is popular though. During dinner there was a steady stream of people picking up pizzas. The employees are so nice and accommodating. Our waitress always made sure we had full cups of water. Also, I like the "rustic" walls and attention to detail in the decor.

Wanted to give this place a try after seeing it served New York style pizza. Pizza by the slice option allowed us to t et you pizza and split a sandwich. This ended up to be a great way to try different items. We got a slice of pepperoni pizza which were pretty good size slices similar to the size of a costco size slice and then ordered the Italian Bird. The bread on the sandwich was exceptional with a good mixture of spices, meats and seasoning. The sandwich was definitely the high point of the meal. You have to fold the slice like a true new yorker when eating the slice of pizza. The place is located in the shopping plaza with the grind with a good portion of parking. The inside I dc the the restaurant is small bur nice and quaint. Liked the chalk board that listed the menu, was impressed by that. Will come back to try other items and also go to their North Scottsdale location which is closer to home.
(4)Stephanie V.
Cute ambiance/theme...very reasonable prices and specials....Could this possibly be the new Mamma Mia...hmmm I don't think anyone can top Mamma Mia, but it does come kinda close. The ingredients that MM used still reminds me of what NY pizza tasted like. I'll definitely come back to try the spinach dip and wings also.
(4)Krista N.
We ordered from here again to give it another try. It was better, but still not great. There was more flavor in everything this time around but it still lacked. The next day, we heated it up and it was still only ok. If I could give half stars, they would get a half star upgrade. I have been to another location and the pizza is amazing so I know the potential this place has! Come on Arcadia location, make it happen!!!!
(3)Luis A.
This place is food poisoning in the making. When you order a slice employees never wash their hands nor do they use gloves, and that's all after taking your money and ringing up an order. If you order an artichoke dip expect it to be microwaved for couple minutes stirred with any tool available (finger, pens, thermometer) then microwaved again. I was surprised and disgusted with the level of sanitation in this place. Eat at your own risk.
(1)James B.
The pizza is really good and tastes much more authentic than most pizza places. The wings come without sauce and the sauce is in the side which is a bit weird. It seems difficult to get all of the sauces and the correct amount of sauces especially for a large wing order. Online ordering would be really nice too. I think if those were fixed it would be 5 star.
(4)Perry M.
If you love good pizza and face it who doesn't...then Giant Rustic Pizza is probably for you. I have eaten in here and today I got my order to go. They are fast, it never takes long, my take out today was ready in less then 15 minutes for pick up. The ingredients always taste like they are fresh you can tell allot of this stuff isn't coming out of a pre-frozen bag like the commercial places and if it is they are taking good care of it with proper storage techniques. Today I got the Sunday/Monday Special a large 3 topping pie and a dozen wings for just over $20. I think out the door with taxes it was like $24. As my gf put it...we smashed it!!! LOL! The pizza was good, we ordered a pepperoni sausage and extra cheese pie. It didn't seem like they went very hefty on the extra cheese I ordered but regardless the pizza was still pretty good. The wings were really good, not sure why they put the sauce on the side, I would of preferred the wings were tossed with the sauce...and they could of been cooked maybe another 1 or 2 minutes in my opinion. They were done...but think they could maybe used another minute to get a little more done. But we still smashed them so no complaints. LOL. We have been there before thou...when you go inside to eat you can get pizza by the slice if you choose, and its not like Little Caesars were its been sitting under a heat lamp, it's fresh and you can put your choice of toppings on it. I will say this about that though...if you go nuts on toppings you might as well get a pie. Toppings can be kind of pricey, but typically you can 2 pepperoni slices for around $5. As far as the ambiance goes..its cool...seems like it could use a bit brightening up... the place is a little small, I definitely wouldn't go there for a large birthday party, but considering there is a Baskin Robbins next door...it could be a fun little date. Would of given this place 5 stars if they had a tiny bar and were open a little later. I have never done delivery from this place so I can not speak to that, but I would like it more if this place were open later...a good late night pizza joint is hard to come by...especially one that delivers. I think they should stay open till at least midnight on Friday and Saturday instead of 10pm. In general I think they should be open later...but that's me.
(4)Priyanka B.
Awesome pizza its close by to my place so very convenient to go or take away. They hav good healthy toppings. Pizza is very delicious

We decided to go for Giant Rustic Pizza shortly after it came to the Arcadia neighborhood on a night when cooking just wasn't going to happen. We found a deal for a three topping pizza and called our order in to pick up. The person who took our order was knowledgable and helpful. We also ordered the spinach artichoke dip on her suggestion. The spinach artichoke dip was nice, creamy and garlic-y and was served with thin slices of toasted French bread. Loved it. Pick up was a breeze and we enjoyed our still-hot pizza when we got home. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I feel like tarragon and oregano MAKE a pizza. Let me tell you, they were on point with their herbs, y'all. Good crust, just enough sauce. The toppings are pretty standard pepperoni and sausage (the sausage is sliced instead of crumbled) but still good. I'm not sure id put it above all others, but it's pretty good!
(4)Ray B.
I am of the opinion that there is no great pizza in Scottsdale, having been raised in NY I like the NY style with the real mozzarella (aka greasy, messy and tasty). Many reviewers refer to this place having NY style pizza and I respectfully disagree. I mean no offense to anyone ... I realize I am in AZ now, and my wife says this may make me sound like a jerk! That said, this is the best pizza I have had in AZ, albeit far from NY style. The crust is fantastic. The toppings are a little sparse, but taste fresh. I love their stringy red onions and flavorful mushrooms. I have had a few sandwiches each with fresh ingredients and the bread is amazingly yummy. The baked wings are also a stand out here. I have only had delivery (many times), which is always fast and everything arrives hot and intact. All in all, a very good pizza place for "healthy" rustic style pizza, sandwiches and baked wings.
(4)Erica P.
Accidentally stumbled upon this place while stopping at Fresh & Easy next door. Best pizza in Arizona, easily. I have lots of family on the east coast and I always complain about how you can't get pizza that tasty here in AZ -- but Giant Rustic Pizza is as close as you can get. It's delicious, I won't order pizza from anywhere else now. Pricing is also great for how much pizza you get. Atmosphere is good, and the employees are all great as well.
(5)Joe D.
I happened upon this place and because it was so close to home I decided to try it. The pizza was very good, the wings came with sauce on the side which I thought was odd. They didn't seem too busy when I went to pick it up, almost like they were waiting for me to come so they could leave, it was ready pretty quick too, like 15 minutes or so (they said they discontinued delivery by 8:30, it was 8:35 or so when I called--- not a big deal I totally get it) None of this bothered me again food was great. When I had called again on a Friday night there was no answer, it was 7:45pm or so, I tried calling multiple times. Finally I went there and they we're closed! At 8pm on a Friday night! Stools up and everything. That was disappointing, I will try them again, hopefully I catch them before they bounce.
(3)Jade F.
I think this location is closed. The phone never picks up and can't order online. Sucks.
(1)Stacy M.
Gave this place 2 try's. Very average, too thick of pizza for me... I prefer thinner such as NYPD, Bianco, not sure the hype on here. Also had the wings which I actually preferred over the pizza. Quick service if you call it in, therefore 1 star for service.
(3)Sean C.
This is the best Pizza in AZ that I have had yet. The place is very Vegetarian friendly and everything from the food to the service had been the best that I have had in Phoenix. As I said I walked in last night looking for a new pizza place while moving to the area. Gina was friendly and accommodating beyond what I expect from any food service. I have never felt more welcomed to a restaurant ever. The best part is that not only was the service amazing but the food will keep me coming back alone it is the best I have had ever. I will be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know,
(5)James A.
Worst service ever! My company made a huge order last week, the order came more than an hour late and delivered half the order. When we called to find out where the rest of the order was the lady on the line said she was quote"doing us a favor" .... Really I didn't know having us pay you fro product and service was doing a us a favor last time I checked you need customers to stay in business????? I would never go here again and the over 200 employees we have who are in close proximity to this place will also not be giving them any of our business again! WORST EVER!!
(1)David B.
I love, love, love East Coast style pizza!!! HUGE slices and awesome sauce. The location in the Safeway center has seen many Pizza places come and go quick. I really hope they have the staying power so get the word out and go give it a try. FYI I went to the Scottsdale location in the Safeway shopping center on FLR Blvd
(5)Kristen A.
we waited an hour for our pizza to be delivered, which i find kind of ridiculous, but on sunday night i'm sure a lot of people probably aren't interested in cooking (just like us), so whatever. not a huge deal, just kind of strange. when we did finally get our pizza, it was luke warm and just sort've... meh. the toppings were fine; they use sliced sausage, which i prefer, but it didn't have much flavor. the crust was pretty sub par too. i love carbs--LOVE them--and i ALWAYS eat my crust, but i couldn't eat this crush :( when there wasn't sauce/cheese/toppings on it, its gross and dry and had no flavor. i'm sure plenty of people will like giant rustic pizza (the reviews say so, anyway), but i just wasn't a fan.
(2)Meka L.
The food is awesome! We're staying at the Montelucia and wanted take out. The ordering process is very friendly and organized. To top it off the food is really good. We had the 20' meat pizza and buffalo wings. Will be back when in the area.

I've been here now several times and they have never disappointed. From the Chipotle sandwich to pizza to wings - it has all been delicious. The staff is super friendly too and the place is kept clean and neat. I love that you can walk by and see into the kitchen area too. Great place and I highly recommend it!

This is a solid choice for good pizza. It's not gourmet but is certainly leaps and bounds above a Domino's or Pizza Hut. They are consistent in both the quality of food and delivery time. We are now loyal customers to this little strip mall gem! Hint: We like to ask for a little extra cook time on the crust. It makes a big difference!
(4)Brandon K.
Great pizza, chewy crust and nice sauce. Yes, they have slices. Really friendly service.
(5)Kimberly C.
Great pizza place for lunch or dinner. We had a group of five (with three boys) and felt pretty satisfied with a giant pizza for $20. Next time we'll probably add wings though. We did half and half margarita and BBQ chicken. The margarita was good but the BBQ chicken was my favorite, it had great flavor with a hint of sweetness. The crust was tasty and one of the better ones that I have had. Service was great -- they were attentive and friendly. All in all a solid pizza place and one that we will probably frequent often for lunch!
(5)Michelle H.
Great pizza and amazing salads. Such friendly service too. Will stop here often especially for the salads
(5)Kendrick W.
Had the 14 in Big Berlescori. It was very good. I love it. It is pepperoni , sausage and Italian salami. Not sure why other reviews said their wasn't much flavor. It was seriously some of the best pizza I've had. Maybe they made changes to their pizza but right now it is spot on. I also really like the decor here. I'm from the country so the very rustic old barn wood they use to decorate looks really cool. Wish I could have a cabin or house like this. Very cool on the inside for being in a strip mall.

We decided to go for Giant Rustic Pizza shortly after it came to the Arcadia neighborhood on a night when cooking just wasn't going to happen. We found a deal for a three topping pizza and called our order in to pick up. The person who took our order was knowledgable and helpful. We also ordered the spinach artichoke dip on her suggestion. The spinach artichoke dip was nice, creamy and garlic-y and was served with thin slices of toasted French bread. Loved it. Pick up was a breeze and we enjoyed our still-hot pizza when we got home. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but I feel like tarragon and oregano MAKE a pizza. Let me tell you, they were on point with their herbs, y'all. Good crust, just enough sauce. The toppings are pretty standard pepperoni and sausage (the sausage is sliced instead of crumbled) but still good. I'm not sure id put it above all others, but it's pretty good!

We ordered from here again to give it another try. It was better, but still not great. There was more flavor in everything this time around but it still lacked. The next day, we heated it up and it was still only ok. If I could give half stars, they would get a half star upgrade. I have been to another location and the pizza is amazing so I know the potential this place has! Come on Arcadia location, make it happen!!!!

This place is food poisoning in the making. When you order a slice employees never wash their hands nor do they use gloves, and that's all after taking your money and ringing up an order. If you order an artichoke dip expect it to be microwaved for couple minutes stirred with any tool available (finger, pens, thermometer) then microwaved again. I was surprised and disgusted with the level of sanitation in this place. Eat at your own risk.

I am of the opinion that there is no great pizza in Scottsdale, having been raised in NY I like the NY style with the real mozzarella (aka greasy, messy and tasty). Many reviewers refer to this place having NY style pizza and I respectfully disagree. I mean no offense to anyone ... I realize I am in AZ now, and my wife says this may make me sound like a jerk! That said, this is the best pizza I have had in AZ, albeit far from NY style. The crust is fantastic. The toppings are a little sparse, but taste fresh. I love their stringy red onions and flavorful mushrooms. I have had a few sandwiches each with fresh ingredients and the bread is amazingly yummy. The baked wings are also a stand out here. I have only had delivery (many times), which is always fast and everything arrives hot and intact. All in all, a very good pizza place for "healthy" rustic style pizza, sandwiches and baked wings.

Accidentally stumbled upon this place while stopping at Fresh & Easy next door. Best pizza in Arizona, easily. I have lots of family on the east coast and I always complain about how you can't get pizza that tasty here in AZ -- but Giant Rustic Pizza is as close as you can get. It's delicious, I won't order pizza from anywhere else now. Pricing is also great for how much pizza you get. Atmosphere is good, and the employees are all great as well.

I happened upon this place and because it was so close to home I decided to try it. The pizza was very good, the wings came with sauce on the side which I thought was odd. They didn't seem too busy when I went to pick it up, almost like they were waiting for me to come so they could leave, it was ready pretty quick too, like 15 minutes or so (they said they discontinued delivery by 8:30, it was 8:35 or so when I called--- not a big deal I totally get it) None of this bothered me again food was great. When I had called again on a Friday night there was no answer, it was 7:45pm or so, I tried calling multiple times. Finally I went there and they we're closed! At 8pm on a Friday night! Stools up and everything. That was disappointing, I will try them again, hopefully I catch them before they bounce.

I think this location is closed. The phone never picks up and can't order online. Sucks.

Thank you Lindsay for suggesting this hidden gem! I never looked to my left when entering Fresh & Easy! and there it was! Super nice staff - excellent food! RMacy
(5)Lydia W.
I've been here now several times and they have never disappointed. From the Chipotle sandwich to pizza to wings - it has all been delicious. The staff is super friendly too and the place is kept clean and neat. I love that you can walk by and see into the kitchen area too. Great place and I highly recommend it!

This is a solid choice for good pizza. It's not gourmet but is certainly leaps and bounds above a Domino's or Pizza Hut. They are consistent in both the quality of food and delivery time. We are now loyal customers to this little strip mall gem! Hint: We like to ask for a little extra cook time on the crust. It makes a big difference!
(4)Brandon K.
Great pizza, chewy crust and nice sauce. Yes, they have slices. Really friendly service.
(5)Kimberly C.
Great pizza place for lunch or dinner. We had a group of five (with three boys) and felt pretty satisfied with a giant pizza for $20. Next time we'll probably add wings though. We did half and half margarita and BBQ chicken. The margarita was good but the BBQ chicken was my favorite, it had great flavor with a hint of sweetness. The crust was tasty and one of the better ones that I have had. Service was great -- they were attentive and friendly. All in all a solid pizza place and one that we will probably frequent often for lunch!
(5)Michelle H.
Great pizza and amazing salads. Such friendly service too. Will stop here often especially for the salads
(5)Kendrick W.
Had the 14 in Big Berlescori. It was very good. I love it. It is pepperoni , sausage and Italian salami. Not sure why other reviews said their wasn't much flavor. It was seriously some of the best pizza I've had. Maybe they made changes to their pizza but right now it is spot on. I also really like the decor here. I'm from the country so the very rustic old barn wood they use to decorate looks really cool. Wish I could have a cabin or house like this. Very cool on the inside for being in a strip mall.

The great thing about the Phoenix pizza scene is that we are big enough to have pizza options for almost every occasion. Where does Giant Rustic Pizza fit? It is the ideal spot for some cheap NY style lunch slices or to take the kids for dinner on a weeknight. It's not Pomo or even Spinatos but you will be hard pressed to find a better pizza lunch deal for under $6.
(4)Kyle H.
Place is great, nice hole in the wall feel with good pizza and friendly staff. Good lunch specials with pizza by the slice as well. Slices are huge!
(5)Paul P.
This place is owned by a friend of a friend so I want to see them succeed and I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. That said, I'm torn. I's a great price for a giant pizza but it lacks flavor and they only deliver to the other side of a postage stamp. The Good: Huge pizza for a decent price... The Bad: I want to love it but it lacks flavor. I think the sauce could use more olive oil, garlic, basil and a pinch of salt to bring it out. The crust is a wonderful texture but again, not much flavor. The pie could benefit from a little pecorino or parmesan in the cheese mix too. The Ugly: if you want it delivered, you better live across the street because that's the boundary! We live less than two miles and we're told we are outside of their delivery area... Hmmmmmm. I hope they'll tweak a few things so I can love this place and give it five stars!
(3)Chris D.
Update: Went back last night and tried the pizza (chicken pesto). It was phenomenal. Same incredibly friendly service. I will be going back regularly (and looking forward to trying the rest of the menu). I had the turkey slaw sandwich. Giant portions, absolutely delicious. Really cool decor inside. Friendliest staff you could imagine. Looking forward to trying the pizza.
(5)Meribah R.
Tried this place for the first time Saturday, and I must say they live up to their name! For $22 you can get a giant pie with up to 5 toppings and the best part is the toppings are fresh and the wait was only 20 minutes. I am defiantly coming back here regularly.
(5)Isla B.
Locally owned & operated here in the valley. Both Scottsdale & Phoenix location are awesome. Lunch deal is the best in town and pizza is wonderful. They can do pretty much whatever you want and everything on the menu is good! This location rocks because you can dine in or take out

I'm pretty happy with Giant Rustic Pizza. There aren't too many NY style pizza joints in the Arcadia area, at least not too many good ones in my opinion. I usually will travel to N. Scottsdale to Ray's if I'm craving pizza like home. That being said I thought Giant Rustic Pizza was pretty good, not quite the same as NY but good enough for me to return. My husband and I wanted a cheat meal and both checked out the menu. I wanted to try the Red White & Green which is a white pizza and my husband really wanted a more traditional style with sauce. I asked if they could do half & half and they said "yes." We both got what we wanted, which is awesome. We also ordered the Italian salad which was somewhat like an antipasto with lettuce, the portion size was very generous. Both types of pizza were very flavorful, the white pizza had some nice ricotta on it and the red pizza had great sauce. I can't comment too much on the ambiance as we got our order to-go, but the staff was very nice and our order was fast. I will definitely return!

Kids loved the cheese pizza. We built our own with carmelized onions, green bell peppers, italian sausage, kalamata olives--it was solid. All fresh. The owners are the same group that founded NYPD until it was sold to owners who stopped going fresh. New York style stuff here at Giant Rustic. They go so far as to match their filtered water with what they had back in Yonkers. That's commitment. Great scene here off Camelback, too. They deliver. Solid place. I prefer it now over all the others that deliver to us. Again, kids like it. Thank the Lord. You can also get a slice inside which is key.
(4)Alana S.
Glad we finally tried Giant Rustic Arcadia! Very good pizza: sauce was good, amount of toppings great, quality of ingredients fantastic, customer service very good...and they deliver! Will definitely be back! If you're looking for high quality delivery, not the big box chains, I'd highly recommend!
(4)Austin C.
Great wings, artichoke dip, and pizza. Great addition to the neighborhood as our other pizza options aren't so good. My only criticism would be the cursive on their online menu. It's very difficult to read and makes me feel illiterate. Other than stirring feelings of inadequacy this will be our go to pizza spot!
(5)Danielle R.
Fantastic pizza and you can't beat the lunch special (2 slices and a drink for $5). The slices are huge and FULL of flavor! I took home a menu so we can take advantage of the other specials and specialty pizza selections for a go-to dinner.
(5)Robert F.
I don't know why there are negative reviews. The crust is almost as good as Pino's, ingredients are fresh and the service is fine. And they make a 20" pie, forget about it.
(5)S D.
The staff are soo nice and welcoming! Can't say enough about how great this pizza joint is. One of my favorite places after a long day of work. Highly recommend!
(5)C L.
I've been three times now. Great pizza with great pricing. We had the Thursday night special. Any 14" specialty pizza and large rustic salad. The Malibu bbq pizza was fantastic. Not too sweet and just the right amount of toppings. The Italian Kitchen salad was full of meat and cheese, great olive tapenade with artichoke hearts and roasted peppers. All this food for $20. This will be our Thursday night standard!
(4)Tyler A.
The sauce and cheese have less flavor than the box. The crust was puffy and lacked a good chewy texture. It was pillowy, which is bad crust in my book. At least it's priced fairly, the staff is pleasant and it has a good location for the neighborhood. They also sell pieces by the slice. Nevertheless, I won't be going back.
(2)Al S.
Really good food. Wings, a sandwich, and a pizza were ordered for delivery, it took over an hour, which is the reason the 5th star is missing. Had I been told, I would have picked it up.
(4)Danie P.
The delivery guy was probably the nicest delivery guy I've ever met. The pizza was amazing!

So we tried ordering from these guys on Memorial Day. I went online and didn't see anything posted about whether or not they were taking the holiday off. When I called, I got put on the answering machine loop explaining that they were taking other calls but did you know that Rustic pizza bla-bla-bla. Anyway after 5mins on hold I decided just to drive over there as I live close by and indeed they were closed for the holiday. Now they could have changed the machine message or posted something on their site, but hey I get lazy too sometime, and actually doing that takes a bit of time and everyone is entitled to a holiday. I was more disappointed than peeved, as my wife and I had drooled over the menu and had taken the time to decide what we would order before we actually tried calling. Plus I was a tad Hangry so there was that too. For what it's worth, the Fresh N easy next door is open 24/7 so I went in there and grabbed 2 DiGiornno frozen pizzas for 12 bucks and after 20min in the oven were FANTASTIC!! Frozen za has come a long way! So if you are ever at Rustic and they are closed, grab some DiGiorno! It's tastes like delivery! It really does! Last night, we decided to try Rustic pizza again and so we ordered a half pepperoni/sausage add mushrooms and half Green and White. We also added a bakers dozen of their baked chicken wings. The order came promptly, and we were pleasantly surprised that it was a woman driver. Our first one ever! The food from Giant Rustic Pizza was AWESOME! The pizza was HUGE and the topping were bountiful and tasty. The crust was thin and bubbly and crispy, the cheese rich, the sauce delicate and delightful! The chicken wings were also really good and baked to perfection! (Just got hungry writing this and am currently munching on a cold tasty slice!) I'm glad to have found this gem of a pizzaria nearby and we will certainly order from them again soon! Giant Rustic Pizza was worth the wait!

The pizza is really good. The slices are huge. The house salad is super amazing. The creamy Italian dressing is yummy. The customer service is fabulous. They are so friendly and energetic! I will definitely be back for another salad and pizza. The interior is very woodsy and cool looking. I recommend this place if u live in the area and even if you don't since it is awesome!!!
(5)John W.
Excellent hand tossed stone hearth baked pizza. Prices are excellent. This could be the next big thing in pizza. Highly recommended..
(5)Monica F.
Cute new local spot, close to home, and we were excited to try it. Greeted by a lovely, bubbly little Italian woman, we had high hopes. While the pizza is in fact giant in size, it's unfortunately not so big on flavor. We ate a few bites and left. The owners seemed like really nice people. But their focus on size (the little Italian lady kept telling us that its the biggest pizza in the city by two inches) is short cited from our perspective. While families on a budge might appreciate the size, those looking for a great pizza will go elsewhere. The local competitors (Bianco, Pomo, and even LGO) are simply too good for this place to make it.

Had the chicken caprese sandwich. Amazing! The bread, mozzarella, tomatoes, and chicken were very fresh.

This review is a long time coming...Giant Rustic is just amazing! The food is spot on, the service is always impeccable, and the delivery is speedy, esp for such a fresh and delicious pizza. And I honestly don't usually like pizza, but I LOVE this place. I absolutely love their 'Red, White! & Green' pizza and I like to add their juicy roasted chicken (there is a garlic base, so no tomato sauce...and I personally avoid the sliced tomatoes on it too bc of an allergy, but my bf loves it with them!) I also highly recommend their amazing artichoke dip and chicken wings. Mmmm...it's the best feast around! I rarely write a review, but Giant Rustic really went above and beyond and deserves great praise. I was sick and exhausted one sad Sunday, but I was so hungry, I picked myself up to get takeout from them. I wanted to try their crustless pizza, but asked to make sure no tomato sauce was used, bc of my allergy. When I got home, they unfortunately made a mistake and added tomato sauce. It was an honest mistake...but I was so ill, hungry, & frustrated, I called them to complain, just so they would make note in my account of my allergy, for future orders. Well, I feel like when you typically call a restaurant and let them know they made a mistake on a takeout order, at best, the manager might say "next time you're in, we'll make it up to you" or try and get me to drive aaaaall the way back to get the order correct. Not Giant Rustic! They were an absolute joy and gave superior customer service by, not only delivering the correct order within minutes to my door (which is pretty awesome bc this is when I was out of the delivery zone), but also giving me a free slice of delicious pie & a nice note that said "Feel better :)". That personal touch really did it for me and I was so pleased that they went out of their way to make their sick & sad customer's day much better. They earned a patron for life with that....hell, I think I'm going to order tonight! So I highly highly recommend this place! Not only are you going to get an amazing, mouthwatering meal, but you will also get service with a smile & a true appreciation for your business, which is sometimes hard to find nowadays. Thank you GRP!

We ate there Friday night and it was an absolute delight. Scott the owner, the staff and the décor was very inviting. The pizza was very good. The combination of the tasty crust, the right amount of sauce and a fresh mozzarella along with quality toppings makes it the best pizza I've had in Arcadia area. It was even tasty the next day. What I liked about it the most is that they're not trying to be a fancy place or going all snobby on the food as the Arcadia area restaurants do way too much. They obviously just want to be a pizza parlor offering a good pizza, at a fair price and they seem to be doing a good job of it. They also have BYOB, you can bring in your own bottle of wine or beer and drink it with your food. I don't why but I find this kind of cool We will definitely be back.

Was good. Had a slice of pepperoni. Will soon become my go to pizza place for the neighborhood! Clean place. Friendly staff. Decently priced.

Very good, thinner pizza but puffy crust, neat place to eat in at as well....every time I have gone it's tasted great!

We have eaten pizza from Giant Rustic on 6 occasions. We love the Red, White and Green sub Sun-Dried Tomatoes. That being said, tonight's experience warrants a 1 star rating. We were first turned-on to Giant Rustic by friends. We loved it enough to order it the next week at our own home. Everything was great. The next time we tried them, we waited forever for our pizza when we picked it up in the store. They gave us free dessert for our troubles. The owner (?) was very apologetic. Nice save. The next time we ordered was for delivery. They went to the wrong house. We had ordered for friends who were in from out of town and had rented a vacation home. Though we specified the different address, they went to our home (we suspect) and not to the rental where our friends were staying. The food was delayed. You can see by the above experiences, though the product is good, the service at Giant Rustic has not been consistent. Then we discuss tonight's debacle. We called to order for delivery. We specified delivery and we specified the address. The person at the other end of the phone told us our pizza would be 45 minutes. At an hour and six minutes after we placed our order, we called Giant Rustic. We spoke to the person who had TAKEN OUR ORDER and she told us that our food had been marked for pick-up and had been waiting for us. We asked them to re-make the food so that it would be fresh and told them that we would come up to get the order. We asked how much time would be needed for the new pizza to be ready. The woman who took our order, Suzanne, clarified our order (again) and said it would be 15 minutes. The location of the store is 40th and Camelback. We live at 36th st, just south of Thomas. I left three minutes after my phone call and drove to Giant Rustic. Oddly enough, our pizza was ready. There is no way it took me 12 minutes to get there. Yet, here they were presenting boxes of pizza to me. There were also no pizzas in the oven baking. Hmm...I asked if these pizzas were the re-makes and I was assured that yes, they were. Upon inspection of "our" order, I pointed out that the Red, White and Green was supposed to have sun-dried Tomatoes. At this point, the customer service lady looked at the ticket and said, "Well, they didn't even take the order right. Oh wait, this isn't even your order."So, two boxes get whisked away and another two are placed in front of me. Again, NOTHING came from the oven. The two pizzas that were presented were indeed correct. I asked the second customer service person, "Are these the re-makes?" He assures me that, yes. They are. The bottom of the pizza boxes were warm, not hot. But what can I do? Two people have told me these are my pizzas, re-made. I am charged full price for my pizzas, not offered an apology (I did get one on the phone prior to the other shake-up), and sent on my way. Once I got home, I bit into luke-warm pizza with a chewy crust. This pizza was purchased so that my in-laws, who are recent Arizona transplants, could try the deliciousness that is Giant Rustic Pizza. EPIC, EPIC fail. I am so disappointed. Bad listening, incompetence and lies. All in one encounter tonight at Giant Rustic Pizza. I think we are on a break with this establishment for awhile. I hope this place figures out where the break in the chain is. The food is great. Service, not so much.
(1)Anita L.
For the price, it's great pizza! We just ate here for the first time tonight and had the wings and a pepperoni pizza. Both were very good. It's a small location with minimal seating so your better off getting the pizza to go. We'll definitely be back.
