Pinos Pizza Al Centro — Restaurant in Phoenix

Authentic Italian cuisine made with pride and love. My office is literally 1/4 of a block away and I have passed this place 10k times. One day last week just out of curiosity (and great Google Reviews went in and it was splendid. Our server (I'm so sorry that I forgot his name) gave us impeccable service. This is family owned and the portions are big! I had a custom calzone and it was almost bigger than my plate. Brick oven baked (you can taste it) golden brown with organic freshly hand made dough. Met the owner, his lovely wife and family. He was a delight and gave me great knowledge on work - life balance to boot! I'll be back definitely! Average for dinner for 2 is about $35 - $55, plus gratuity (if you don't purchase alcohol). That's fair, especially for the portion size. Took some back to the office with some slices of their 10" (that's more than enough for one adult...probably better to share it with another entrée) and my partner and our other associate devoured it in minutes. That's how you...

Authentic Italian and quality food. I have been here several times and the food is always fresh and delicious. Pino bakes his own bread and it is worth the visit just for it. They post some of the specials on their facebook page but it's worth the phone call to see what daily specials they have. For this visit and review, I had a slice of pizza (added mushrooms) and one of the specials, the Shrimp over Spaghetti in a garlic white wine sauce. The shrimp were huge and the sauce delicious, but then again I love garlic. The slice was loaded with mushrooms and reminded me of the pizza from back on the east coast (NY/NJ).

I posted a pic of my most recent meal, a lunch of a Caesar salad (extra croutons) and a pasta dish (both accompanied by his delicious homemade bread). To me, this is some of the best local Italian food. Not pretentious,...

pinks pizza is hands down some of the best pizza you can get in the state of Arizona. Here is the run down. The service staff is very friendly but not well managed. The restaurant doesn’t look. U h from the outside. Do not mot these things stop you.

You come here for the food and the food alone. Take the opportunity to Meet Pino! He is usually the one working the kitchen.

All the ingredients are fresh! The style of his pizza is a mix of New York Style and Neapolitan pizza. You will not best disappointed. If you have been traveled to Italy, and had good pizza there, this is a good way to take a trip down memory lane! The pizza, bread, meatballs are A+!! He does routine specials, and if your ever there when he does his Gorgonzola pork chops, you must do this!
