Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.
Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

So happy. I just moved here from LA and have had a hard time finding a good pizza place. Well I was driving around and saw YO Pauly's and went inside. I ordered a small pizza and an eggplant parm sandwich to go. YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM great place and great service. My new go to.
(5)Kim B.
Only been here once but will definitely be back! Pizza and cannolis are amazing! It's a family restaurant and Pauly, the owner is very personable!
(5)Evan E.
FAVORITE PIZZA IN AZ. This is my favorite type of sicilian (square/thick) pizza in the state of Arizona. Pauly & staff are also very friendly.
(5)Carly V.
I would say 5 stars if we're purely just talking about the pizza, but I have to drop it to 3 when you consider customer service as well. After having ordered delivery from Yo Pauly's multiple times, I have concluded that the owner, Pauly, appears to be aggressive and simply rude at times. If you're okay with possibly running into a not-so-friendly environment or lackluster customer service, but AMAZING pizza, this is the place for you. It's a shame Pauly isn't nicer or more helpful because that would easily bump this 3 stars up to a 5. P.S. For all those ricotta lovers who don't like giving up the marinara with the typical white pizza, order the "Not So Whitestone Bridge" pizza. It's on their secret menu and TO DIE FOR!
(3)Andrew B.
Very poor customer service! I had recently ordered on the phone , and they didn't have one of the items I ordered made. I realize that mistakes happen,but his lack of customer service to make it right , was just terrible ! He said " not my problem" . I was just in shock.
(1)Jessica S.
The owner Pauly is rude. I work in an office close by and we received free delivery if over $15.00. I ordered three lunch specials and got grief from him stating they are usually only used for large orders. Well Pauly, don't put max of $15.00 on the delivery and be more specific. He always rubs me the wrong way and comes off very rude. I guess that's the New York type of guy that is RUDE. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the food. I usually get the white stone pizza and salad. The dressing is to die for. Today, my family came by my work to have lunch with me and so I called and preordered it for take out b/c I wasn't sure if we were eating there or not or back at the office. But after I took the order over the phone, my coworkers wanted to order out as well and I was going to pick it up for them. So it ended up being a dine in instead. When we were standing at the front, I looked up at the owner and smiled. He just looked back and didn't crack a smile at all. Just a rude person, I guess. So we got our food and I could hear the owner wasn't happy that I got take out and we ate in. Saying that was a take in NOT a take out. Same day my family dined in, my coworkers had ordered for 11:30 am so I could take it when I leave. Well, the owner asked too, this is for you. I answered yes. When I was walking out the door, I noticed that my coworkers pizza was placed on a paper plate and in a paper bag. Typically, they put the piece in a to go box. I took a pic of it and it's my screen picture. This is ridiculous and RUDE. Pizza and food is good if you can get over the owner that works there.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! My husband and I decided to come here tonight, as he has had this pizza before at work. Big mistake. We walk in and the guy greets us and is very nice. He tells is we can sit anywhere we want, so we do. We look at the menu and wait for someone to come by to get our drink order. Doesn't happen right away, as the guy and girl that seem to be the only 2 working, continue their conversation. A group of people come in and the girl comes out to their table and jokes about how she's the manager (I sincerely hope not!). Then she asks them what they would like to drink. Apparently, serving your regulars/friends takes priority over guests that were there first. That was our cue to leave. Not spending time and money at an establishment with such rude service.
(1)Wakashan W.
Very impressed with the customer service, and since I was a first time customer, my slice of pizza was on the house. This is something you don't see very often. They have gained a customer for life. Brit, the manager was very friendly, and made it a point to give the history of the establishment and she truly made me feel like i was at home. And to top it off, the pizza was great. Very rarely do I encounter a place were I enjoy being at. Highly recommended this place.
(5)George A.
Another hidden gem amongst the eateries hidden away in the corner of the Fry's shopping center on the corner of 90th & Via Linda. I stopped in here for lunch recently and it was solid. They have several lunch specials for pizza by the slice, salads & calzones, and they all include drinks. I got a single slice of white pizza w/tomato & spinach w/a Cesar salad. The pizza was yummy! My parents are from NY. I've been to NY. I've had NY pizza. Honestly, I don't get all the hullabaloo about the pizza there (probably because I wasn't raised on it), but this pizza definitely seemed like authentic NY pizza. My NY parents both had plain cheese slices (which I tasted) and they were impressed. The Cesar salad that I had was pretty basic, but still good (and pretty good size for a lunch portion side salad). The calzone & pasta options all sounded good as well, and one of these days I'd love to order a 24" pie, just to see what it looks like. The restaurant itself is pretty small (it seems like it caters more to takeout), but the staff is very friendly & I detected NY accents so you know this place is the real deal. I'd definitely come back!
(4)James W.
I really liked this place. I had never heard of it before and went in based on a friend's recommendation, and I was really glad that I did. The pizza slices are huge, but more importantly they are delicious! I just went with pepperoni, but I'm looking forward to going back and trying their other slices. Oh, and get a cannoli if you go there. SO GOOD!
(5)Yvonne G.
To the owner: Last Thursday you had a young man waiting tables who I had never seen before. He was a bit pushy and overbearing, but I wanted to give him a chance thinking that perhaps the young man needs more to time to adapt to his new job. This was my thinking until......... 1. He brought us our dishes and we sat there without cutlery and napkins until we got our own by taking them off other tables. I refused to do what my husband did and brought it to the attention of one of the waitresses. She apologized and promptly gave me my cutlery and napkins. 2. My waiter was stroking the back of his hair, rubbing his neck.... doing this with the hands that were soon to touch my food. 3. My waiter was playing with his mouth and chin with his hands..... doing this with the hands that were soon to touch my food. Do we see a pattern here??? 4. When I asked for a take out container for my leftovers, he brought an aluminum pan and cover but made sure that his fingers were all inside the aluminum pan when he handed it to me. I had to wipe it down with water and the scarce napkins. Here is a clue waiters and waitress everywhere in YelpLand... DO NOT play with your body parts while you are on the job serving food to people who go out to eat for pleasure not to witness a science experiment on bacterial growth. I was not going to Yelp about this, but the owner of Yo Pauly is a decent sort who runs a place with very good food and he needs to know what his wait staff is doing. The food on this particular night was excellent as usual. The service left much to be desired and the habits of this particular waiter touching himself before he served our food was disconcerting not to mention, a bit "nasty."
(2)Rachel A.
I don't usually leave reviews, but I can't not leave one after ordering tonight. First, the gentleman on the phone who took my order was so positive and cheery, it completely brightened my day. He quoted me 35 minutes and they were here in a speedy 25, they brought me a complimentary specialty slice of pizza, and the pepperoni pizza I ordered was great. Wonderful customer service - I will definitely be ordering again.
(5)Mia A.
Bessssst calzone ever! From east coast and gotta say this place is really good. Cheese cake to die for and pizza is delicious!
(5)Arielle S.
As a New Yorker, I am pretty skeptical of any pizza places outside of my home state, thinking they can't taste as good. When I lived here, I used to frequent NYPD Pizza but last I visited them, they went waaaaay downhill. Decided to try Yo Pauly's after reading the reviews on Yelp and I was not disappointed. While I have had better pizza, it was still on par with many pizzza places back home. We had one plain pie and one pineapple pie and I thought both were good. Would definitely order a takeout pie from here again next time I am in town.
(4)Michael P.
Pauly is a NYC transplant and makes some of THEE best pizza you'll find west of the Mississippi. If you're hankering for some original NYC pizza pie then definitely go by Yo Pauly's and give him a try.
(5)Kacee F.
Yuck...we ordered take out for lunch... $10.00 for a child size portion of dry disgusting lasagna....the lasagna taated store bought & old. It was very vrry dry. WAY OVER PRICED......as for the 24 inch giant rustic....head down the 101 to the actual Giant Rustic Pizza Joint & get it for abt half the price of yo paulys & much better tasting....Terrible day old food for very high prices..lots of other choices in scottsdale to go to...avoid this one....YUCK..
(1)Caterina U.
The pizza was very good. You can order half the pizza one style and order the other half with different toppings. The garlic knots were great. The customer services was really great. Very friendly waitress. We were visiting and I would go back the next time were in town.
(5)Brittney L.
Best pizza I have ever had!! My boyfriend took me here and its my favorite place to go now. The customer service is awsome. Its nice to go into a place and they really make an effort to get to know you and really take care of you. I also really appreciated the complimentary canoils. Was my first time trying them and they were amazing. Will recommend to everyone. :)
(5)Shaun N.
Best pizza in Scottsdale! Great for lunch or dinner. Staff is always nice and their food is amazing. Pauly is a character!!
(5)Matthew B.
Best pizza in town ! I order from them at least once a week. They have a huge 24' pizza called the New York giant and it is monstrous we ordered it when my family came to visit from out of town and they tell their friends and family about it back home. The ziggts favorite Za is my favorite
(5)Brad W.
Went back and tried the Bensonhurst Baked Ziti and a small greek salad last night. The ziti was pretty good and clearly NY style with more cheese and less sauce. The leftovers will be better because I prefer a crispier version, but it was loaded with ricotta and was authentic. It came with four garlic knots, which was just enough, but half a dozen would have been better with that size of a dish. The greek salad had a couple of good moments with a few kalamata olives, but could have used more feta and lose the parsley please in the salad because I don't enjoy eating parsley, even with dressing. Looks like the pasta is the way to go here after trying a sampling of most items.
(4)Barry W.
Stumbled across this place Thursday brought friends back tonight. Had salads & entrees we were all satisfied and full. Staff was very friendly felt like we'd been there 100 times. Definitely going back for the pizza.
(5)Greg R.
Terrible customer service. I ordered 3 pizzas with soda (almost $90.00 tab) and the delivery guy brought no cups, ice, plates nothing. Called the restaurant, got no apologies, took them over 20 minutes to bring the items that should have come the first time. The pizzas were not hot when they arrived and of course cooled even more waiting for the cups and ice. The guy who took my order made all kinds of promises how great things would be said he would call back after we ate our meal to see if everything was ok. He could care less, never called. You can bet I will never go back. No way were the pizzas worth 3 times pizza hut or other stores.
(1)Sylvia T.
We came back because the first visit was so good. This time I tried the gyro -- OMG!!! The best I have ever had. They make their own tzitziki, and grill the meat for a perfect taste. ..WOW!! Hubby had the lasagna, which we figured would be wonderful based on the white pizza we had on first visit. But, we were not prepared for the DYNAMITE flavor of that marinara sauce with the light noodles, meat combo. The marinara is so fresh, light on flavor without any heavy herbs drowning out that wonderful fresh tomatoes taste. Love this place!!!
(5)Kris R.
We happened upon this pizza two weeks before we moved back to California. Too bad, I spent four years looking for good pizza in this desert non-oasis otherwise known as Scottsdale, and when we finally found it, we were leaving. Well it's the closest you'll get to New York style pizza in this part of the world. I would recommend not ordering the extra-large, on our last night in Scottsdale we made this mistake. The slices are ridiculously huge, and they comped us garlic knots because the pizza came out of the oven in a weird blimp/oblong shape? Actually it was slightly burned on the bottom once we got it home. The free garlic knots would have been great paired with pasta and salad, but not burned pizza. Otherwise I would have given them 5 stars.
(4)Tina T.
We found this place in the Entertainment Book, any pizza 50% off (instead of the bogo which isn't very practical) and decided to stop in for lunch while in the area. We just ordered the 18" cheese pizza and some drinks. The place wasn't very busy on a Tuesday afternoon so the service was great. The pizza came out quick and was nice and ooey gooey. The cheese pizza wasn't very greasy and had a good amount of cheese. The crust was delicious - probably the BEST crust I've tasted in Phx and, trust me, I've been on the hunt! It was crispy and flaky on the outside while moist and chewy on the inside. It wasn't doughy at all and even my husband and daughter ate most of it - they NEVER eat the crust! The only downside was the tomato sauce, it was just that - tomato with no discernable flavor of garlic or herb or anything really. This was really disappointing because the rest of the pizza was great! It may have been ok if we had spicy or flavorful toppings to make up for it like pepperoni or sausage or veggies, I'm not sure. My daughter loved it because she's 8 and she doesn't like basil or oregano or garlic - she loves the sauce you get in a pizza lunchable. The only other drawback was the $5 import beer (Peroni), my husband only had one which is kind of a first! Good thing the pizza was only $8 which made up for it. Overall, a good spot for pizza if you get some toppings! If they fixed the sauce, I'd make the drive to Scottsdale at least once a month!
(4)Jamie A.
Pizza and calzone were perfect. We will be ordering takeout again. Delicious crust on the pizza and wonderful ingredients for toppings.
(5)Elaine P.
We decided to try Yo Pauly's since we had an entertainment book coupon for it. The moment we walked in we were immediately greeted by the friendly owner, Pauly. He welcomed us, thanked us for coming in, and grabbed a high chair for our son. Our server was just as friendly and brought out complimentary garlic knots with amazing marinara for dipping for us to try. Seriously, the marinara was so good! The monthly special on beer was a great deal! $2 domestics and $3 imports. We enjoyed a large Hawaiian style pizza. The only reason this isn't a 5 star review is because our pizza was a little over done for my personal liking. It was crisp and as a Native New Yorker I prefer it easily foldable. I will definitely we back. Wish there was a half star to add to my 4 stars.
(4)T. O.
Got a 10" cheese pie, wish I got a 14" because I devoured that thing so fast!! I think I found a new pizza takeout/delivery place. I've lived in a neighborhood nearby there for many years and am surprised I did not try this place earlier. Being from Chicago originally, I am picky when it comes to pizza. It is hard to find a good pizza place here and often make my own pies at home. If you love NY style pies, check it out.
(5)Mary M.
Went back for a return visit, only to find it was just as exceptional as the first time. Takes me back home on the first bite. The crust is perfect. The cheese is delicious. Sauce just exactly right. When it comes to true NY pizza, consistency is king. Glad Pauly has it!! And the yelling in the kitchen? Now that's as authentic as it gets.
(5)Tina T.
I took my team (9 including me) here recently for a $7 14" cheese pizza special they were running for October. We ordered 3 pizzas (two with one topping), a couple orders of the garlic knots, a large Caesar salad ($8), and some sodas for the team. I felt like I had sticker shock when I got the $65 bill. I didn't realize how expensive the sodas were ($2.5) each and I think the toppings were $2.5 each. I also think the basic Caesar salad was overpriced. Clearly it all added up really fast! Other than that, the food was great. The garlic knots were insane. If I wasn't going to the fair after, I probably would have taken an order to go. Plus, the owner was very friendly and grateful for our business. He and the food would make me go back although I do think there were overpriced components to this place.
(4)Connor L.
Best pizza in Scottsdale. Crust is fluffy and crispy. If you're looking for authentic NY pizza, this is the place to get it.
(5)Georgette- GG G.
I am born and rasied in Manhattan- the real NYC and I am very picky about my Pizza. Yo Pauly's is the best NY Style Pizza in the State of Arizona! The Crust is good and you can pick it up and fold it as we all do in NY and the yummy oils come running down the pizza to create a yummy piece of Heaven! Don't miss out on this beautiful little"Little Italy and Greenwhich Village style Restaurant! All od their food is delish! Try it you'll like it!!!!
(5)Road W.
Aa a NY native, it's as NY pizza as I gets. Crust is light, crisp bottom and chewy. Cheese and sauce are quality. If you like NY pizza, you'll enjoy Pauly's.
(5)Christine B.
My boys and I were running errands far from home, and decided to stop here based on the Yelp reviews. We were very pleased with our choice. Each of us ordered the slice and garlic knots special. The slices were very tasty, but the garlic knots were terrific! My only tip on the knots would be for the kitchen not to let them get over-browned. Pauly is a very smart man, because the majority of business owners today don't seem to value customer service. Pauly joked with us as we ordered, then checked up to see how our meal was. He was very personable and funny - even bringing us a complimentary dessert. We very much appreciated both the good food, and being treated like we were a valued customer. I hope to see them have continued success.
(5)TruckRoller M.
LOVE this place!! Really delicious food that's got their homemade taste & touch to it. Prices are very reasonable. Exc quick service.
(5)Aben R.
Yo Pauly's is a pizzeria. Pauly makes terrific pizza. You shouldn't come here expecting to get gourmet osso buco or lobster fra diavolo. Order the pizza and you'll be very happy. Service is wonderful and, as a New Yorker, I can say you will be hard pressed to find better pizza in Scottsdale. It can even be ordered by the slice!
(4)Mohammad N.
So I came by yesterday to peek at the menu and decided to go the Vermont Sandwich place next door instead. Today, I came in and the lady at the counter remembered..."hey, you came in yesterday and then left!"....So either the staff is super attentive or their business is so slow that they remember every customer. Something tells me that it's the first one though. I've been to New York and I've eaten pizza while I was there, and I don't quite remember it tasting what I tasted today. I had a slice of the Margarita Village which had olive oil, garlic, sliced tomatoes, basil & mozzarella. As I bit into the za, i had oil drip down my arm. Yeah, this bad boy could have been on the SI Swimsuit cover with all the glistening oil that rolled off of it. Too oily for my taste and the crust wasn't crispy at all. You can, however, taste the basil and the freshness of the mozzarella. The cheese was gooey, but I don't think there was enough. About $3.50 for a specialty slice and the slices are a pretty decent size. Leaving this place, it looked like I had been attacked by the Baby Oil Monster. My scrubs were thoroughly dirtied. Tip: They deliver for free within 3 miles of their restaurant. And there is a 15% off coupon for your dine-in bill by the register...so grab it! Overall, if you're in this complex, I would suggest eating at Andreolli's Italian Grocer #1 or the Vermont Sandwich Company as your #2 choice. If you really really want some pizza, then go for it, but I think I'll pass on this place next time.
(3)Nita M.
Mehhh. I love pizza and I love NY style pizza but this place just didn't do it for me. My slice was kind of floppy and on the cold side. I didn't think the sauce tasted particularly flavorful and would have liked a little bit of a crispier crust. The lunch specials didn't really seem all that special, $7-8 for an okay slice of pizza and a small salad isn't much of a deal. The garlic knots were pretty good, but seemed a tiny bit on the stale side. I much prefer Streets of New York Pizza for lunch when I'm around this area.
(2)Melissa T.
Amazing service and great pizza.
(4)Ally S.
Order two slices of the Ziggy's Favorite (sausage, pepperoni and fresh basil) with a side of marinara...fuggedaboudit..you'll be in pizza heaven
(5)Victor A.
We had a little bit of a delivery issue the other night and the owner not only called us to apologize over the phone, but when we got there, he came out and apologized and more than fixed the issue. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! And the pizza is always the best! We highly recommend Yo Pauly's, you will not be disappointed!
(5)Aileen B.
8/25 Thin-crusted Whitestone Bridge pizza (garlic, ricotta, mozz, spinach, tomatoes, and olive oil) was good! Could've been a little bit crispier, but I was happy. Spotted their thick-sliced Sicilian pizza and mentioned to Paul that I was not a fan of thick-crusts, bec. I found them too soggy and too doughy, and he graciously offered me samples. Thank you Paul, but I'm still not a fan of (approx. two-inch) thick pizza. Bensenhurst baked ziti was very delicious! Penne, ricotta, house marinara, parm, and mozz. This must-try dish came w/ garlic knots, a popular appetizer. Perhaps these knots are better when they're fresh- I tried them re-heated (toaster oven), and they didn't do anything for me. Will have to visit with a few friends in tow to try this dish and app fresh from the oven! Also tried a gyro sandwich. Not bad, but for the price, I'd rather swing by Tempe's Haji-Baba's and spend a buck more (plus gas money) and get TWO wonderful gyro sandwiches. Five tables present, but the space didn't feel inviting enough to stay and dine in. This venue screams "take-out" loud and clear.
(3)Kristin P.
This was our first time to Pauly's. We're from back east and haven't found many great pizza places in AZ but Pauly's ROCKED!! The pizza & wings were awesome! Perfect crust, tasty sauce, & fresh veggies! As first-timers, Pauly gave us free canolis & they were delish!! The service was awesome! Pauly was so welcoming & friendly! Would definitely recommend this place!
(5)Gustavo R.
We came here in a group of 6 at 8:30 (which is right before closing) and they gave us great service! We ordered a Sicilian pizza and wings an it did not disappoint. Not only was it delicious, but we were all stuffed after the meal (and we're a bunch of big boys). To top it off, the owner, Pauly, gave us an order of garlic knots on the house! Truly great service and exceptional food! Definitely recommend this place.
(5)Fiore Z.
This was my first visit to Yo Pauly's. I ordered the chicken parm, Margarita Village and the Whitestone Bridge pizza. The dough was excellent. Cooked just right, not too soft, not too crispy. Toppings were good not great. The fresh tomatoes were bland. Need a little salt. Cheeses were just OK. The chicken parm was tasty, but not outstanding. Sauce was a bit acidic, more like tomato paste. I like a smoother marinara. I'll give it another try. Maybe order something else.
(3)Dee S.
This was always a family favorite, in fact we had a few birthday celebrations here. We hadn't been back for years as we spend a lot of time in Northern Arizona. Returned this past week-end, and was very happy to discover the food was as excellent as it has always been. The waitress who assisted us was both gracious and helpful. The Astonia wings were just like I remembered. Our pizza was made to perfection. Oh, did I mention I'm a native New Yorker, and like most of us, I'm a pizza snob. The fact that they have been around so long and are making it through this difficult economy speaks volumes about the quality of food and service. Can't wait to go back. It will not be years.
(5)Albert H.
Lot of pre-made slices lingering in the display area just waiting to be reheated. I didn't get the feeling I would be eating a fresh slice unless I arrived right at the opening. A lot of places have the 2 slices w/drink, but most do not end up being $6.22 with tax. Normally you can get this combo for $5 tax included. NY mural on the main wall, and certainly has the NY pizzeria feel to it. Red & White checkered tablecloths, garlic knots, etc. Hard to find the first time because the mini shopping area is tucked away off the road.
(3)Sue S.
I just moved here from California and was thrilled to discover Yo Pauly's. Their New York pizza is delicious. A must to accompany your meal is their garlic knots with marinara sauce! Tonight I tried their baked ziti. Their portions are generous and they don't skimp on the cheese. I love the atmosphere at the restaurant. I am usually someone who has our pizza delivered but really enjoy dining there. The staff is very friendly. Definitely a two thumbs up!
(5)Randy C.
Wow, I was disappointed. I rolled in for dinner at 7:00 pm looking for a couple slices and a soda. They only had some cheese left and the the slices were really small. I mean like half the size of anybody elses regular slice. The pizza tasted OK, nothing spectacular.
(2)Steve D.
Oh, Phoenix, when will you deliver me to my pizza nirvana? Not today, it seems. After moving here from the tri-state area (CT, NY, NJ) in June, I've been relentlessly pursuing pizza hoping that something, ANYTHING, would hint at that sweet, sweet taste of home. In the tri-state, hole-in-the-wall pizza joints can be found more frequently than gas stations (as in, more than one on every corner), and knock the socks off of what you Phoenicians like to call "pizza." I digress; I tried Yo Pauly's because I saw garlic knots on the menu. Surely, any pizzeria that has the staple food of Long Island on its menu must know how to make a good pie. Wrong. Yo Pauly's is merely a shell of a NJ pizza joint; all (stereotypical) show, without substance. The dough was bland; sauce, tasteless; and cheese... well, it's cheese... but still wasnt all that great. You see, pizza joints in the tri-state are heralded as the go-to quick spot for cheap, quality meals (all pizza places should be judged as such). Yo Pauly's isnt quality and it isnt cheap ($8+ for two slices and a soda). I guess you could go here if you want quick... To "Pauly:" Take a trip to Long Island (I know you have the $$$, based off your prices) and go into the first pizza joint you see. Order a cheese slice, grandma slice, and some knots. Come back home, ditch the stereotypes, and do your best to come close.

Mediocre pizza, but good enough for when we are too lazy to pick up our favorite, Grimaldi's. They have always delivered to us, but for some reason, Pauly was having a bad day and was in an extremely bad mood last night. He told us he wouldn't deliver to our address, eventhough they have always done it. I was so confused. I'll stick to Joes Pizza for delivery from now on. Yo Pauly, due to your cockiness and rudeness, you just lost some pretty cool customers. Buh bye.

This place really hit the spot! I'm from Jersey so it's pretty hard to earn a 5 star from my on a NY style pizza place. But this place did it perfect. A lot of times I find that places in AZ tend to be way to greasy. Yo Pauly's had the perfect amount of grease. You can order by the slice and they are nice and big and nice and flat, perfect to fold in half. I also ordered a house salad that was very fresh with yummy house dressing. I can't wait to go back and try some hot wings! Lucky I work right in the area so I will be back often.

Paul G. from Phoenix, AZ with his 1 star rating 1/4/2009 "You're probably wondering why others voted this 5 stars and now you're reading a 1 star. The only thing I can think of is that some of the reviewers: 1) either don't eat good pizza or 2) they know the owners." Well go figure, you must not be from NYC and know how the East Coast has their history. I do travel a lot and always look for the better spots as a foodie, and Pauly's hits the mark for being an authentic New York Slice, I love it. It's a little different than NYPDs here in the valley, but his is better by far. Pauly is a greek boy making italian slices, but he's been doing this his whole life and so friendly when you stop for lunch. Nice clean restaurant, tucked away in the back of a Fry's Marketplace Plaza (yes, it was hard to find at first, now I have no problems as my car knows where to go when I'm hungry)

New York Pizza? Although I have eaten pizza all my life, I had no idea what New York style pizza was or how it was defined. But I was watching Sunday night football, was hungry for a pizza. I decided to give Yo Pauly's a try, since it was not to far away. During halftime, I drove over to look at the menu, and order a pizza. The owner was there, and was quite helpful in my ordering. After I ordered, I was sitting reading the menu (which really extensive - calzones, salads, sandwiches, wings, dinners, desserts and Greek food). The owner came over and offered his suggestions of menu items to try in the future. I did not know what to expect. I took the pizza home, without looking at it, because I was in a hurry to watch the game. Wow!! I loved it - thin crust, delicious toppings, and baked to perfection. I normally eat half a pizza, and save some for the following day to see how it reheats. However, I liked this one so much that I ate the whole thing before the game was over. Is it New York style pizza? I have no idea - but I do know I liked it, and will be back and try other things on the extensive menu. Great food, great owner!!

Yo Pauly's is the closest I've found in the Valley to "northeastern" style pizza (i.e. NYC/Boston-non-PizzeriaRegina style) that I've found. I have to admit that I'm not crazy about their entrees, and I've tried several of them, so I'd stick to the pizza. The owner is (mercifully) not a Yankees fan - he's a Mets fan, so that's good, and he's very friendly in that Noo Yawk way. As others have said here, it's really not a place to sit down and a quiet meal, it's definitely geared for takeout. Glad to have a decent pizza place just down the street from me!

Hello to all of my fellow arizonians and visitors! As always I will mention that I am the pickest person I know and detest spending good money on bad food....and with that, here's my opinion of Yo Paulys. I have ordered 4 times now and I gotta be honest, the first time around I wasent too impressed but saw a great deal of potential. Lets start from the moment they answer the phone, If a very personable guy answers and calls you "dear" then I believe its Pauly? or the owner. Who doesnt like to be schmoozed a little! lol He was very helpful and took time to answer all my questions. We had an all meat pizza, Not my choice (but the hubby likes the meat). The pizza was a bit soggy and just not fantastic, although he did throw in some yummy garlic knots. A couple of weeks later I tried again and ordered a pepperoni and mushroom pizza and was completed delighted! The crust was a little soft and doughy but not too much so....it was perfect for my taste. The pepperoni was very tasty and the mushrooms fresh ....but the Cheese.....the cheese was creamy very tasteful and generous. Overall I was very satisfied....but wait....not so fast! I tried again just to make sure It wasent a fluke. This time I ordered a White pizza (I know it has a real name) and since I am not a sauce lover I found this to be an AMAZING pizza! The ricotta added a delightful rich flavor that complimented the roma tomatoes and the pizza is my FAV so far. Tonight we tried again and stuck with an easy choice, half sausage and mushroom and half pepperoni and mushroom and again, it was a great pizza. So thats it in a nutshell....I think this is a "must try" pizza joint and would love to hear your thoughts. And as for you PAULY.....keep up the good work.....4 stars from me is a raved review! As for the rest of you out there, give it a try and I hope you in enjoy, and until then..... Bon Appetite'

So I got the chance to go back and do a full pie, salad, and cheesecake. Alas, while the service, and owner were wonderful [as before] if I have to get pizza, I will stick with Grimalde or NYPD for now. Still have to visit 3 other high end pizza places, in Phx. All food tasted good, and service was excellent, but can not do 4 stars, as its not GREAT. Still very good, however. Rocky on the DVD player was amusing!
(3)Sam K.
Ordered a pizza from here the other night, seems like I have found a good place to compete against Grimaldi's... Pizza came quickly and was delicious... A little on the expensive side... The thing I like about it is that it seems very home-made and not part of a repeatable equation like Grimaldi's... I will be ordering here again, no doubt about it.
(4)Claire J.
This used to be the original location of NYPD Pizza, but the owners sold it to Pauly and the food has gone downhill since. I'll stick with NYPD Pizza, thank you very much.

WOW! The proprietor is a friendly, NY kinda guy who offers both Italian and Greek fare on his menu. His gyros rank near to the top on my list with juicy, tender, microscopically thinly sliced pieces of meat in a soft pita topped with tomatoes and lettuce and capped with a bit of deliciously tasty tzatziki sauce. Mouthwatering and filling, I ain't kiddin'. We also ordered meatballs in marinara and this did not disappoint. No way, no how. These were by far the juiciest, flavorful meatballs and if I may add a very generous serving of three topped with savory marinara sauce. The husband and I quickly devoured it and left not a drop of sauce in the platter! And the pizza. Mama mia! Thin crust, just the right amount of sauce, generous portions of breaded eggplant. We were in heaven! Pauly knows how to do it right! Head on down to visit them you will be delighted at their menu offerings, the pizzeria ambiance (fabulous wall murals), and their magnificent, tasty food.

Customer service does not exist like this anywhere these days! Pauly really goes above and beyond to make sure he's doing business well! The pizza was FANTASTIC - thin, crispy, gooey... perfect! And it was really quick! We didn't even have to wait very long! The place was really neat -- it was small and comfy with a fun "Italian-in-New-York" vibe! He even had Rocky playing on the TV in the corner! Some of the best pizza we've had in a long time, and hands down the best customer service we've had in YEARS! Thanks Pauly! We'll definitely be back!! :) And we will definitely be recommending this place to others!
(5)Amy J.
Delicious, fresh food and fun NYC concept inside. Service is GREAT, staff are super-friendly and remember everyone and work hard to make everything perfect. The pizza is awesome and classic, but also try the Greek section of the menu, it is really Pauly's specialty and you can feel the authenticity of his home country in the food. You can even hear it in the way he says "Gyros" =) Doesn't get any better than Yo Pauly's!
(5)Tiffany M.
My new favorite pizza: The Godfather, seriously pizza is my all time favorite food and after my boyfriend started working near Yo Pauly's, it has become mandatory for him to bring it home once a week. nice ppl, clean place. Its more expensive than your local Pizza Hut or Dominos but WAY worth it.
(4)Gloria T.
Have ate there quite a few times, love the Greek salad and always get the Melting Pot pizza!! Never have been disappointed and my boyfriend likes it too, he ordered the Chinatown Wings this time (he's from Buffalo) and raved about them. Our server Melissa was very friendly, great job!
(4)Troy H.
My family loves the Pizza. In fact my wife just left to go pick some up because they had a 1 1/2 hour wait for delivery on a Sat night. No doubt because this crispy crust authentic New York style pizza is in high demand. When we dine in the owner always takes time to talk with us. They are kinda located in a horrible spot tucked back in the corner of a shopping center but once you find this place its worth it. Prices are reasonable food is full of flavor and did I say I love the crust. Highly recommended.

One day at work, our office decided to bring in pizza for lunch, and when my co-worker walked in with two of the largest pizza boxes I've ever seen, the smell of garlic was, I will say, a bit overwhelming. From the odor, I was expecting the pizza to be excessively garlic-y. However, the pizza was hot and delicious, with a nice balance of cheese and sauce. The crust was nice and chewy, the way I love it. It was a bit lacking in the topping department, though. I know I had some salad as well but I don't remember anything about it; take from that what you will. I think the garlic I smelled was from the garlic bread they threw in (I didn't try any but the consensus was positive). I guess we ordered enough food to warrant some coupons, because they gave us a bunch of free slice coupons. Having enjoyed the pizza we had ordered, I decided to swing by one afternoon about a week later to redeem my free slice. I had never been to the restaurant, so I didn't really know what to expect. I walked up to the counter where a deli case was filled with slices on display. These slices did not resemble the pizza I had eaten the previous time. They had obviously been sitting out for a while and had a sad, grayish hue. I didn't see any cheese slices in the case, though, so I crossed my fingers that my slice would be somewhat fresher. The slice I got was (thankfully) relatively fresh, but it still wasn't nearly as good as the pizza we had in the office. If you are planning a trip to Yo Pauly's, I definitely suggest ordering a whole pie, since you'll get it fresh from the oven. The slices, on the other hand, are somewhat of a gamble.

Yo Pauly's makes incredible pizzas. Great, New York style pizza and a charming, family environment. They always greet you when you walk in the door and make you feel welcome. We often pick up pizza to take home and one night one of the staff (not the owner) told us to "come by and eat in one night". Another night we showed up 5min before close and they kept the ovens on and made us our pizza. Great service for a $20 sale. If you like thin, New York style pizza this is a place not to be missed.
(5)Paul G.
On a scale from 1 to 10, this place is a 2. I eat a lot of pizza.......and I can honestly say it's downright awful. It tastes like cardboard with canned sauce on it. I don't own a pizza place & I have no reason not to be objective. With all of the choices we have in PHX, I wouldn't recommend this place. You're probably wondering why others voted this 5 stars and now you're reading a 1 star. The only thing I can think of is that some of the reviewers: 1) either don't eat good pizza or 2) they know the owners. I can't understand, for the life of me, understand how people are voting this 5 stars.
(1)David K.
Best NY pizza in town. The lunch specials are great, it's just unfortunate I work too far away to enjoy them as much as I would like. The godfather pizza is great for those you like peppercinis and various meats. They also have great buffalo wings. Every time I go in, Pauly is there and treats his customers with great respect. Go once and you'll become a regular.
(4)Chris P.
Best Pizza in the state, Hands Down! I used to eat her 2-3 times a week, for lunch. Sadly, my office relocated, so I haven't been down there, in far too long, but I'm going to change that soon, even though it is 20 + miles from my house & work now. It's well worth the drive! Amazing crust, the best, freshest sauce, cheese & toppings, & creative names & flavor combos for their specialty pies. My personaly favorites are the "Whitestone Bridge" (Garlic, mozzarella & ricotta cheeses, olive oil & fresh basil, spinach & tomatoes) & the "Godfather" (Garlic, ham, pepperoni, salami, provolone & mozzarella cheese, pepperoncinis, olive oil & fresh basil. ).Plus, Paulie, the owner, is always there, & is a great guy. The closest thing to a real New York Pizzeria, west of the Mississippi!
(5)Chip D.
Yo Pauly's is the best! I felt like part of the family after being there once. It's like taking a step into NYC. What you will find here is friendly service from a real New Yorker, either Pauly or JT, a mural of New York on the wall, a few tables and a counter displaying pizza-by-the-slice, cannoli and garlic knots. When I asked JT if the meatball sub was any good, he replied "i never met a meatball that I didn't like." This is absolutely the case with their meatball sub. There is no way to describe the marriage that happens between the cheese, sauce and bread. It is truly delicious. The same phenomenon happens with the pizza. If you like NYC pizza joints you'll love this place.
(5)Luisa R.
yo pauly's new york pizza co.'s pizza is one of my favorites, and its even better that it's not a chain. i love the choices of crust (wheat or original) and sauces. in fact, i'm craving their pizza just writing this review!
(5)Isaac K.
Good NY style pizza. Good garlic knots. You should eat here.
(4)Rick R.
Great pizza and wings! Meatball sub was bland.
(4)Michelle S.
Great neighborhood family pizza place. Good food and friendly service. We will definitely be back.
(4)Doug F.
Stopped for a slice & loved it. Crispy & chewy crust, good sausage. Based on the pizza, I will be back.
(5)Rachel S.
Good food, clean, nice owner and staff, great prices. Very good all around, especially on a budget. This is a New York-style eatery. Although it is subnamed "New York Pizza Co.," their other food is really good, especially their Gyros. Their spaghetti and meatballs are homestyle and their calzones are good too. Also try their delicious garlic rolls and dessert rolls! If Pauly is there, it is an extra bonus...he cracks me up!
(5)Thomas S.
I have been eating at this location since '98 when it was called NYPD Pizza. It is owned by the same person who is a very friendly guy. The other employees are always courteous and the service is prompt. The pizza here is a little on the greasy side but is awesome none the less. Their Garlic and Cinnamon knots are great and I almost always grab a dozen of each when I order from here.
(5)N S.
Great Pizza! NY style thin crust. They get the doe right. Clean and polite staff plus great food.
(4)Alex W.
Best NY style pizza in the Phoenix Metro.
(5)A. O.
More people really need to know about this cute little restuarant. They have the best Ziti I have ever had and the portions are HUGE. My boyfriend and I will order one serving and share it and still have a bit left over. I recommend adding the chopped meatballs.......so good!
(5)Jen D.
I challenge you to find a better slice in town. Seriously, this is better than the pizza we've had in NY. The cheese, crust and sauce become one. The crust is to die for. When ordering take out, the car is filled with such an amazingly appetizing aroma that I can barely wait to tear open the box as soon as I walk through the door. Eating in the restaurant is equally pleasurable. The restaurant is super clean, the staff is very friendly and attentive and the owner is the real deal. If you love low-key places with awesome food and great service, you should definitely try out Yo Pauly's. We live 20 miles away...but it is always worth the drive when I'm craving pizza. The wings are good too!
(5)Sean G.
Great pizza! Authentic NY style. I eat there almost every week.
(5)bob g.
My favorite pizza, super calzones. But the BEST are Pauly's Astoria Wings, yum-a-rooski with oregano and a hint of lemon. Delicious!
(4)Mya T.
I've only been once but wow. I was impressed. This place came highly recommend by my husband's New York born and bred boss. This is the only place he will get pizza. I can see why. My husband tried the pizza (cheese pizza's are on special this summer, just sayin'). He got his loaded with pepperoni, sausage, pineapple and ricotta. He downed a personal sized pizza in record time. I've never seen him so happy. I decided to try the chicken parmesan meal. It was terrific. The chicken was crispy, juicy and flavorful. Not greasy as some tend to be. The red sauce, which I hope is what they use on the pizza because it was perfect, was just the way I like it. Not a hint of sugar. There is nothing worse than sweet tomato sauce in my book. I would happily go again and I would recommend highly.
(5)Marie S.
A little place tucked away in the corner of a shopping center with all the charms of New York City. My husband and I first tried Yo Pauly's because of an entertainment book coupon and were pleasantly surprised by how good the pizza was, especially the crust! We returned for another visit and I decided this time to try the stromboli while my husband ordered the pizza. While the stromboli was good, I ended up having two slices of his pizza and took half the stromboli home. They served us some complimentary garlic knots on both visits before our food came out, which were delicious. Part of the charm of the place is the people. Brittney behind the counter was very friendly and engaging, and chatted with us about the restaurant and the space (it's the original location of NYPD Pizza, so there's some history there). There's definitely a good neighborhood vibe in there, which I love. We're sure to be back!
(4)JJ C.
As a New Yorker who's now living in the desert... It's been hard finding a great pizza place. I'm giving this location 4 stars instead of 3 because their sauce was very tasty and their staff was friendly and courteous. Their pizza dough? Not great. Which is sad. I was completely excited when I saw this location and couldn't wait to try it. The dough was too stiff to be even compared to NY dough. I'll definitely go back and try other dishes. Alas, I won't be consuming the pizza again.
(4)Irina H.
Pretty freakin good, and huge portions. I'm from the east coast, and this pizza definitely has authenticity. We order the Cheese Louise. This is real pizza with plenty of cheese and sauce, and some weight to the slice. This isn't some fancy, tiny gourmet pie with odd, scanty toppings (not that I don't also love that). Watch out for the 24" pie - it's enough to feed two grown adults for several days and the box barely fit in the car (check out the photo if you don't believe me) - the plain is a phenomenal deal for like $23! I might go a little smaller next time, but if you have a party or a huge appetite, it's really THAT big! We also got to try the garlic knots, and they were super delicious - treat yourself! Next time, I'm ordering the Not So Whitestone Bridge pizza - sounds amazing!
(4)Cary R.
Precise delivery. Good food.

I have lived in Scottsdale since 1992. We have been coming there since they opened. I have tried a number of things both takeout (haven't done delivery) and eat-in. They are busy, because the pies are very good. The balsamic salad dressing is really very good, not sweet, (actually one of the best) and my non-salad boys (15 and 12) ask for salad for their house salads -- I prefer the chopped.. They are always good to make it our way, (i.e., leave off the olives please). We've tried several styles of pizza, my family loves the cheese and pepperoni most, and I like to try different pizzas, besides the ones I've named, I've had the Whitestone and Margarita Village (love basil). ALL and I mean ALL of us love the garlic knots, they are addictive. Try one of the calzones (excellent) or the meatball sub. (I'm not a salami or pepperoni person). Anyways, I do not think you will be disappointed slightly in the food, we all have different tastes. You know I was a little surprised anyone would give Pauly a bad review in personality. My family has always been treated well. However, I have seen him on busy days, and doing business with NY, I can understand how some people don't understand a NY personality when there is a high rate of traffic, and no one hits it all the time, but honestly, I think this is one of the best pizza places around.
(5)Brian K.
The best neighborhood pizza joint in Scottsdale. Excellent food and service to match. Trying to figure out the hours of operation? Fuhgedda'boud it.
(4)Audrey R.
Went here for the first time today and it was delicious! Brittany was extremely friendly! I'm definitely coming back here.

Always great pizza here. Slices are good, but nothing better than a fresh made pie. Excellent customer service on top of amazing pizza and entrées - highly recommended!
(5)Patrick S.
Didn't know they were closed from 2:30-4:30 on weekdays and stopped in at 3:30pm for a slice. We were welcomed in and served a couple a great slices of pizza. Great place and great service.
(5)Carly S.
We love Yo Pauly's! Great food, excellent customer service! I feel like I am back east when I enter this little joint. Our favorite pizza is wise guys, extra cheese, sausage, black olive! We always ask for specials, a great way to get wings and pizza on a Friday night in. The best way to bring NY pizza to AZ!
