In my opinion Picazzo's is better for take out than eating in. We used to get take out from here before more choices of non-chain pizzerias opened up in North Scottsdate.
The kids and I were out together a couple of weeks ago and I decided I'd introduce them to an old trusted neighborhood favorite. We elected to eat out on the patio since the "winter" weather was so inviting.
The service was terrible, as they were so grossly understaffed that the manager started out taking care of us before dishing us off to the poor waitress that apparently had the entire patio. There were 4 of us and they sat us at a table that would have been better suited for a party of 2. The table filled up quickly with plates, silverware and drinks. Turns out the waitress ended up spilling one of the drink refills all over my end of the table. Lucky for me that the table was not solid and the drink had the opportunity to get cleaned up by my dry, thirsty jeans below.
So I'm going to be kind here. The food was mediocre at best. My mom insisted I try here parmigiana to make sure it tasted ok. My kids had an extremely tough time with the amount of oil on their Margareta pizza. For me, I couldn't get out fast enough.
I don't think I'll choose to dine in anytime soon and the idea of take out doesn't make me feel any better.
I think the nostalgia of this place from days gone by far exceed today's reality.
