Any place that tries their best to remember your name is tops in my book. Don't get turned off by the strip mall location as most of the eateries in Phoenix are in the same boat. It's just off the 51 @Northern so it's in a great location (driving wise). If you are in the know, the joint is owned by the same guy who just opened Thirteen North restaurant a few doors west in the same plaza.
On to the food itself, my usual order in this place as my family swears by it is the whiteout pizza (ricotta, mozzarella, romano, garlic, tomato and fresh basil) baked on a freshly tossed dough. Amazing.
We had the chicken wings as well as hot roast beef sub on italian bread before and we were quite pleased. Yes, you can always go to Bianco, Parlor, Cibo for some fancy artisan pizza but for the value:taste ratio, my money is on Stumpy's. A great neighborhood pizza joint.
