Pizza A Metro

Pizza A Metro
92.34
Score
2336 W Thomas Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85015, USA

Pizza A Metro presents a thin-crust pizza with a wood-fired char. The dough offers a light, crispy texture. Accompanying this are pasta dishes featuring well-defined flavor profiles, such as carbonara and veal cannelloni.

The ambiance is unassuming, with a patio accessible through the kitchen. Service, particularly during pickup, is noted for its attentiveness. The restaurant serves a complimentary appetizer alongside its main offerings.

While prices lean towards the higher end, the quality of ingredients and execution warrants consideration. The pizza, in particular, achieves a favorable sauce-to-cheese-to-topping balance.

Score
1947 N Lindsay Rd, Mesa, AZ 85213, USA

Vito’s Pizza & Italian Ristorante offers a compact menu with distinctive dishes. The tortellini sunrise and blackened salmon salad both drew positive remarks for their flavor. The chicken parm sandwich also proved a satisfying choice for takeout.

The establishment maintains a welcoming, family-oriented atmosphere where servers adeptly navigate dietary restrictions, ensuring prompt replacement of incorrect orders. Portion sizes meet expectations for the cuisine, and pricing falls within a standard range.

While some patrons praise the pizza, others have reported inconsistencies in preparation, with one diner receiving an undercooked crust. Parking can present a challenge.

The mozzarella sticks and wings present a competent opening. However, the thin crust cheese pizza arrives notably lacking in crispness, its texture uniformly soft save for the outermost edge. This dampness impedes the overall experience, rendering it difficult to fully appreciate the flavor.

The establishment offers a dedicated vegan menu, with several options available. The house salad, generously portioned, features fresh mozzarella. Additionally, the fried zucchini is noted for its flavorful breading.

The thick crust pizza is prepared with fresh toppings, and the calzone is a substantial offering. Dessert choices include fried dough with chocolate sauce and a vegan cookie skillet.

Venezia's Pizzeria

Score
5057 E McKellips Rd, Mesa, AZ 85215, USA

Venezia's Pizzeria offers a straightforward New York-style pizza experience. The crust provides a thin, foldable base with a crisp bottom, supporting a generous layer of cheese and pepperoni. The bread-to-sauce-to-cheese ratio is notably balanced.

The establishment also serves wings, which arrive hot and flavorful alongside the pizza slices. For those seeking a quick bite or a meal for a group, the availability of individual slices proves practical.

While described as "good" and a better option than many found locally, some patrons note a perceived decline in its former exceptional quality. A side salad was found to be a positive element during one visit.
