Ziggys Magic Pizza Shop — Restaurant in Phoenix

Went into Ziggys after a concert downtown. Stone Temple Pilots was a blast.

I got in late and they were still serving the last of some slices. I got the meat lovers and the pizza man made me a chicken/bbq fresh. The two slices and a drink came out to a little more than $11 which was a great price for them. Tasted amazing and was enough to satisfy.

The interesting thing is the room in the back. You go through a “freezer door” into the club area that has some pinball games. Pretty “cool” idea as it was nice and cold in there. The issue I had was the door service in that section. It was a dead night on a Monday and I talked to the “bouncer” about the room. Then I grabbed my slices and went to the nice tables inside.

Here is where my problem comes up. I was asked for ID to go in. Normally no problem, but it was dead in there and I am way way older than 21 and look it. I went to my seat and was chased down by said bouncer to see my ID. I took out the wallet and was showing him but he actually needed me to pull it out to seriously verify my age. Normally again I wouldn’t mind but I was just trying to eat a slice and chill. No need to bring government issued ID into the mix. He got seriously pissed that I wouldn’t acquiesce to his power and when I haded him the ID he ripped it out of my hand. “Bro!! I’m a grown man” who doesn’t need to be treated this way. He checked and then went to his station only to MAD DOG ME! I ate and left.

If we don’t need to show ID to vote per the current administration then I’m not showing ID to eat a pizza in a gimmic bar! 🤣🤣

High marks for the slice and chef. Low marks for the jerk...

Update... Just got two slices and 12 knots and won't be coming back for the food for sure (I actually threw it out, man I never do that), until I know there have been changes. Your staff should taste pizza from the best in town for this style. Master the bubbles, season the crust edges, put a little salt in with the corn meal under the crust. Garlic knots have also become sub par, was the dough cold when these are fired? Marinara is also something I'd like to see darker and more robust and less chunky. Bump the drink cups up a size... And thank you for using paper cups.

I'll go for the pinball, always... And that they have the new jersey jack games is awesome... Only have the highest rated games from pinside please.

I believe in being constructive with reviews... So anyone reading this: know this is a fantastic business that is much more than pizza... But right now the owners and managers should feel the love, go out to the highest rated NY style places and see what truly makes a slice that beats everyone else... It's the char (may need to check if you're hitting 600 to 800 degrees), the bubbles (technique), the chew (might need vital wheat gluten added to dough recipe), the crust flavor (there are tricks), the marinara (zesty to me means more tomato paste and less chunks)... Then you can save on overall costs by reducing your cheese ratio.

This shouldn't just be "it'll do", it should be a place where the line is 20 people deep, and moves fast, 10 hours a day, where the staff makes more money in a 5 hour shift 4 times a week than 10 hours shifts 5 times a week.

Not hating here, just want to give...

Second time here and never again! The way I'm so upset I'm actually writing a negative review says it all because I want to warn people of their disgusting health code violation practices. First time in this place was cool, we ordered slices vibes were good pizza was OK but the combo seemed like a good deal. It was the only place open after leaving st. Joseph's with a family member on life support. Is this relevant probably not but we just needed food for our distressed family only to be more distressed when my daughter bit into a fake press on nail cooked inside the pizza dough! I called to be told there are no managers or supervisors in. I asked "so nobody's is in charge there"?. I was told a line cook is that I couldn't speak to and was given an email. Do I want a full refund absolutely do I want to warn people that they have cooks making pizza dough with fake disgusting press ons yes! Do not eat here they apparently do not have a a cleanliness practice in place. No one with fake nails long nails or jewelery should ever be handling pizza dough. Im Completely and staying disgusted at this foul discovery. I currently dont see a feature for pictures on my end,I'll be uploading the pictures on a different device asap!

Update I added the pictures to the photo section,click latest photos to see and you will understand my review knowing that's what my child found in her food! Believe the poor reviews the good reviews are only because the concept of the pin ball speakeasy is good but if you care about what you put inside your...
