Description

If you go to Oregano's, go hungry. Or take friends. Even the salads at this mini-chain are beyond gigantic. The thin-crust pizza is a crowd pleaser, and the menu is packed with cute word plays (we love the ad campaign, which includes billboards with sayings like "Legalize Marinara") and a selection of pasta, sandwiches, wings and the aforementioned pizza and salad. Grab a beer and settle in for the inevitable wait - this place is popular. Call ahead or enjoy the pizza samples while you ponder your order.

    Oregano's is awesome. It's a great place to go with a group a friends to spend some good quality time together (because yes, you will have to wait) and eat good food.

    How can you not love a pizza joint where the menu describes the Chicago-style thin-crust pie as "custom cut into tiny squares, like finger-jello"? This is a place that does not take itself seriously -- except when it comes to the quality of the food, which is always high, even as Oregano's prepares to take over the world -- or, at least, Arizona. There are now five Oregano's in metro Phoenix (Mesa, Phoenix, Tempe, and two in Scottsdale), one in Tucson, and another in Flagstaff. Really, ev... More »
