I was in Phoenix on business but received a recommendation from a friend to eat at Oregano's before I left. I don't typically like to eat a heavy meal in the middle of the week but figured I would take him up on the recommendation and try it out. First, our service was excellent. Our server was super friendly, informative, and sincerely conscientious. The decor and ambiance is heavy but it fits the feeling of the eatery. The food and drinks started out blah but ended well. We first ordered cocktails and appetizers. My "vintage martini" wasn't very good...something wasn't quite right. I would also rate the calamari as less than average as well. Everything else was superb. The brussell sprouts were very good. Now to the pizza. We tried to order a 12 inch Chicago style pizza to share and our server strongly recommended that we reduce it to a 10". We followed his recommendation and were glad we did. This pizza was just AMAZING. I took down 2.5 pieces and thought I was going to bust. We left 2 pieces on the pan when we left. The worst part was we didn't have room for the cookie...which is the reason my friend told me to go Oregano's in the first place. I guess I'll just have to go back...
