“Had never been here before but was hosting a party yesterday and needed to order a bunch of food. I ordered 2x Tortellini, 2x Gemelli, 2x Orecchiette, and 2x Pasta Norcina. Just based on this experience i can say without hesitation this was the best italian food ive ever experienced. Absolutely divine flavors. The menu is full of things ive never seen or heard of but the flavor combinations are powerful (which I love). Of the 4 dishes, my wife's favorite was the Gemelli and mine was the Pasta Norcina but all were amazing. My guests all loved them too and there was nothing leftover.“

“Food was really good! Our server was very responsive and attentive. The only issue was an over abundance of flys in the restaurant. Completely understand this is not the fault of the restaurant, but there was no effort being taken to eliminate them.“

“I was pleasantly surprised by the service and food quality here. Olive Garden is not my go to place, but others chose this and we went along with low expectations. A nice touch was when the chef greeted guests as he walked through the restaurant.“

“The food is delicious and the variety of pizza options is excellent. The restaurant is cozy but nice. The staff is friendly and pretty prompt. There is a limited selection of cocktails, but a pretty good wine selection. Humble Pie is a family friendly restaurant.“

“So, let me tell you about this place called Sauce Pizza. You walk in, right, and you're hit with this amazing smell, like you've just stepped into a kitchen where magic happens. And let me tell you, magic definitely happens here.I went in with one mission: to try their cookies. But before I could get to that, I figured I'd grab a small margherita pizza to go. And man, was I blown away. The crust was perfect – crispy on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside. And the toppings? Don't even get me started. The marinara was tangy, the mozzarella was creamy, and the basil just tied it all together in this flavor explosion.But let's talk about the real star of the show – the cookies. Oh my goodness, these cookies are something else. I mean, I took one bite of the chocolate chip cookie and I was hooked. It was like biting into a piece of heaven. The outside was all crispy and golden, but then you bite into it and it's like this gooey, melty chocolate paradise. I swear, I've never tasted anything like it in my life.And you know what else? It's not just the food that's amazing at Sauce Pizza. The people there are awesome too. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was part of the family. They were so friendly and welcoming, and you could tell that they really cared about making sure you had a great experience.So yeah, if you're ever in the mood for some seriously good pizza and the best darn cookies you've ever tasted, do yourself a favor and check out Sauce Pizza. You won't regret it, I promise.“

“Had a huge order for a very large work group. We ordered a bunch of everything, and all the pizza tasted great, especially the mega meat. It was ready when we needed it and everyone was very nice. Some of the best pizzas I have ever had, and lots of the same comments from our group.“

“Great locally owned mom and pop place. They take pride and care in their pies and ensure a great experience! They had a new guy making an extra large pie for us that accidentally got the pie to stick and tore a small hole when taking it out of the oven. Not only did they refund us, they remade the order to perfection. Great service and a great crew, this is our new go to.“

“Ordered the $5.50 lunch special at the Anthem location of a slice of pizza (sausage) and green salad. The salad was amazing, fresh and generous. The thin crust pizza slice was good sized and the sausage was very generous, along with ample amount of cheese and good seasonings. The price is awesome! Sat outside near the bar, server was efficient and pleasant, and enjoyed a visit from the cute road runner mascot!“

“The Barro's on Dove Valley, in the Fry's shopping center is FAR superior to the one in Anthem. This one puts plenty of toppings on, and the Anthem store hardly puts ANY on, even when you order extra! I will be coming to the Dove Valley Barro's from now on!“

“Under new management for several months now... Here's what's changed food wise.... Nothing!! Pizza still Fantastic... In fact I prefer mushrooms from the can for my pizza only .. they made that switch.. love it .. I usually only ordered 2 slices and a drink.. pepperoni, mushroom and onions... It's my go to ... I love this pizza..... Now since new ownership, as the previous owner was great, but he wanted to sell it .. new owners (family too) upgraded furniture, tables chairs, deco really a very nice change... Younger group of folks the energy has changed.... Everytime I'm in the area I stop there and will continue to too... I'm picky about the food I eat... Lord knows I love pizza .. this is very consistent.... Very good ... Wish there was a Ray's in the east valley....Dietary restrictions: I dunno.... But if you want good food especially the pizza.... Enjoy itParking: Depending on time and day.... With all the places.. it can be tough road to find a spot close that's always been issue in this area.Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space .. saw several kids SaturdayWheelchair accessibility: It's available... Ample room inside and on the front patio... Open glass to see in the oven area .. ADA friendly.... And restrooms are amply spaced.“
