Love their pizza. They have great weekday specials and have the oven right front so you can see your pizza being created. Love the BOGO night.

My most recent experience was amazing! Kayla, our server was extremely kind and helpful, especially offering to-go diet cokes. We started with a ceasar salad and had some of the best pizza I have tried in the valley, thanks to there wood-oven they cook the pizza in. I got the prosciutto and peaches, which was perfectly sweet and savory. The restaurant was clean and had nice decor. Previously I had tried the Zepoli's which were not the traditional Zepoli made of pizza crust which is the traditional style. With their pizza crust, I was expecting great Zepoli's but instead it tasted more like funnel cake. Overall, the restaurant is great, and the Zepoli issue is just not my personal favorite but others may enjoy it more than the traditional Zepoli.

I was excited to try this pizza place, and it was a hidden gem! First off, our server Kayla was amazing. Drinks were filled quickly, food was out in a timely manner, and she knew the menu very well which helped us through the many options on the menu. We started with the Cesar, then shared two pizzas. The crust was light and fluffy. It was an amazing pizza! I will be returning to try their pastas!

Stopped by for dinner on a Sunday and snuck in right before they stopped serving food and boy were we thrilled! Bread was fantastic. My cacio was really good and my husband loved his gnocchi! We got the peppermint cheese cake to go which I'm really excited about we will definitely be back!

We decided to stop after shopping at the mall. Love the atmosphere. Our waitress was the sweetest. Here's how we rate our food. My son got the cheese pizza. I didn't think the crust was done enough. I had the Cacio e peppe, it was good but had a bit too much pepper. Weirdly, I thought it was better after eaten (like the aftertaste was amazing). My daughter had the gnocchi bologonese...it was divine! Our desserts were amazing, one of the best cheesecakes ever! Overall, we loved it. Service was fast for a Friday night. All a bit sleepy and full!

Just got takeout from here and the food is delicious! Ordered a couple of pies and a half salad. The Phoenix salad is delicious and a good portion for a half. The lettuce is crisp, toppings are good and the dressing complements it well. We ordered the Tuscana and Capriossca pie. Both are delicious! The dough tastes homemade and lightly crispy on the bottom. This honestly is one of the best Neapolitan style pizzas in the area! I was quite impressed. Would love to come and dine in next time.

Found out about this place while watching a show on PBS called Check Please Arizona. It's located in a shopping strip mall but don't let you stop you. As you walk in, it's very open and the first thing you notice is there wood fire oven and all the wood stacked up. There was a bar toward the back and lots of tables. We were quickly sat. The menu was what I expected. We started with the Phoenix salad and my husband had the Caesar salad. Both salads were good and the Caesar was the best I've had in a long time. We got the Tuscana. The pizza was delicious and filling. We will definitely be coming back to try their other pizzas

For months, my friend has been mentioning this place near her house to try one night. The stars finally aligned for me to try this location this month, and I'm glad I did! Immediately upon entering we were greeted and noticed we came at an off time, so there was plenty of seating. The dining area would slowly fill up as we dined, but with how fairly spacious this place is, it still felt fairly intimate and private. My friend raved on and on about the Fried Eggplant ($13.25), so that was a must to start the meal! It was likely the best tasting eggplant I've ever had, and I can easily see just dining in to have this and being content. It is so crispy, delicious, and packed full of flavor! Also for a starter, we had the house bread ($8.25) which was also delicious and fresh out of the oven. Though the Fried Eggplant was a clear winner if you only wanted to get one appetizer to start. As for entrees, I was torn between pasta or pizza. Both I have heard are fantastic, so it made for a difficult decision. Ultimately, I decided to go with an old standby favorite of mine - Cacio e Pepe ($16.75). Overall, it had really good flavor but wasn't my favorite comparing to other locations I've had it. Though still a very good pasta! I just might try another pasta dish or a pizza when we return. Because yes, we will be back here! If you are in the area, even if just looking for a glass of wine and a small bite - this is your destination! Want something heavier, they have you covered! Be sure to check this great place out as I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Bella Gusto has risen to become our fave local pizza spot since it's only 15 minutes away :) delicious neapolitan pizza with a soft and fluffy crust and flavorful toppings! We came with a reservation on a Friday night - def recommend because I saw a few parties waiting for a table. It was busy and service was slightly slow but we didn't mind. Ordered a 1/2 Phoenix salad and was able to sub the goat cheese for parmesan which we really appreciated! The salad had a great citrus-y contrast and I loves the candied walnuts. Dressing was light how we like it! The calamari was also decent - our least fave dish of the night but doesn't mean it was bad - just wish it was a bit crispier. As for pizzas we got the Flavortown (hello truffle oil!) and the Tuscana. Husband thought the truffle overwhelmed all the other toppings but I didn't mind lol. The Tuscana felt like a nice cleanse after. Both delicious and I can't wait to come back to try more items. Restaurant is casual/family-friendly and there's even a separate room if you want to reserve for a large party. My server was also really kind and sweet!
