Description

Don't get us wrong-the pizza at Pino's is sublime: crisp, doughy crusts topped with tangy marinara and fresh ingredients of your choice (we ask for extra cheese and anchovies when we go, but that's just us). But we're mad for the Greek Salad here. It's huge and tasty, stuffed with flavor from fresh lettuces, feta cheese, and kalamata olives. A big handful of shredded mozzarella on top, and a fresh-baked side of homemade bread makes this the best lunch or dinner on the block. But don't let that be your only starter-everyone who's ever had them swears by Pino's meatballs, either as a side to their many delicious pasta dishes or as an hors d'oeuvre. Hot and spicy, they're the real deal, straight from Roma!

    Pino's Pizza Satisfies Fry Girl's Need for a Quick Slice of 'Za

    | Thu, April 29, 2010

    Waiting an hour and a half at Pizzeria Bianco for a pie (albeit phenomenal) doesn't make the cut for the Fry Girl All-Star Pizza-On-the-Go team. And with Phoenix's car culture making walk-up slice sellers non-existent, the question of where to fin... More »
