ToScany's Coal Oven Pizza — Restaurant in Chandler

We came to this place on a Saturday, meaning all pizzas were half off if you also got a drink. Overall, I think the pizza is good, but needs some serious improvement. We ordered two large pizzas because they were half off, meaning $15. I can say with confidence I would never order the Napoli for anything more than $15. I loved the taste of the cheese combination, and the meat was incredible. It may sound great, but that's the bad part. There was basically no meat on it at all. Maybe 3 meatballs were crushed up and dispersed, not covering enough of the pizza at all. Looking at a photo of the Napoli pizza 8 years ago I feel like I missed out on something that used to be so great. If I had known the pizza wouldn't contain nearly enough meat, I simply wouldn't have ordered it. Any price for this pizza above $15 is highway robbery. Secondly, we ordered a Bianco pizza. I didn't personally try it, but the general consensus at the table was that it was good. I was the only one who actually enjoyed the Napoli, which again was sad considering how little meat there was. My sister got the Penne Marinara pasta, which she said was disappointing.

Service was somewhat slow, and required us to flag people down to get any assistance.

Finally, we ordered the Pizookie. The Pizookie was great. Great tasting cookie, good vanilla ice cream. Would order it again.

Overall, extremely overpriced pizza for the lack of substance, regardless of the great taste. If they fixed the amount of meat on the pizza, it might be fine. But $30 for three crushed up meatballs? No thank you. 2.5/5 stars.

If I return one day, I hope this may have turned around, as I really did think the pizza tasted good. I can see why only the bar was full on a Saturday night.

Side Note: The front door being wide open meant that bugs kept flying in. We saw...

So not sure if the receptionist on the phone was new, young or just inexperienced but it was rather awkward ordering a pizza. She wasn’t rude but couldn’t hear me at first then was unsure what I was ordering. I advised I’m reading off your menu online so who knows what the mixup was. That said, upon picking up the pizza, the young lady was very nice and friendly. The place is pretty large inside and decorated well (albeit a Bills Mafia HQ lol). We ordered the Pepperoni Classico and it was really good but word of caution: the pepperonis were spicy!!! Which to me is a good thing because a) you know they’re using real, quality pepperonis (the small cup shaped ones after they’re cooked) and not the generic pepperonis from Hormel at Fry’s. b) the cheese and sauce were good and loved the coal oven crust. Just wanted to give a heads up in case you have young children, the pepperonis may be too spicy but I loved it. (And there were a TON!!)

They have great daily specials and are under new ownership and while their prices are rather high, depending on the daily specials or if you happen to get a coupon in the mail, it makes the prices reasonable.

I’d go...

We sat on the patio with our dogs. We weren't expecting prompt service but we're expecting descent service especially since there was less than a dozen people inside. We ordered some wings and hummus and a salad for appetizers and a pizza to share. The pizza came out first and we asked what was going on with the appetizers. Then the salad came out. And we said where's the rest and then the hummus came out and we said we ordered some wings and then the wings came out. The young server said our kitchen manager was out so things were running slow. I said okay. Well maybe you can send your manager over and he can explain what's going on. He never did. My wife and daughter felt bad for the kid as it wasn't his fault and I agree but when a customer isn't satisfied and says they want to talk to a manager they should send them over. It totally wasn't this kid's fault. It was just the systems of the kitchen that had everything come out...
