I pretty much grew up at this Barro's Pizza, so this rating carries a bit of misty-eyed nostalgia for my days in Moon Valley, the best neighborhood in Phoenix. I have so many memories of going here on a Friday or Saturday night with the fam, playing its pathetic little play area and arcade, and watching the Suns. Or from getting a two slice lunch special while hanging out at the now defunct card shop that used to be in this strip mall.
But at the same time, Barro's makes some amazing non-deep-dish Chicago pizza at some of the cheapest prices in the city. Even grown up, there isn't much more satisfying meals then getting a Large mushroom and black olive for 10 bux with some beer and going to town. The wings and bread sticks are also always a good call as well as the white pizza that some Barro's locations serve.
Now I almost go into withdrawals on Friday nights with local sports and I don't get my Barro's, which is often because for some reason they never decided to open a location downtown. What gives??? How does a Phoenix OG like Barro's never open a location in the city center? They need to rectify that as soon as possible.
