| - I would have written a 5-star review about Spinato's anyway, but after an experience this weekend, I had to Yelp about it ASAP.... I drove from Mesa just to pick up pizza for my family (yes, it's that good), and when I was getting in my car to leave, I was holding the pizza and the box caught the corner of my rear-view mirror. The entire large pizza spilled in the front seat of my car, all over the console, gear shift, seat, floor, etc. It was a mess! I tried to clean it up, but I really needed soap and water, so I went in to ask for some napkins. The manager, Tim, overheard me ask and asked what happened. When I explained, he immediately got me wet towels to clean up the mess and made me a new pizza, free of additional charge! He obviously didn't have to do that, as it was not Spinato's fault in any way. Plus, the place was packed (as usual), but he bumped my pizza to the front of the line. If I wasn't convinced before that Spinato's is the BEST-- not just for food taste but for customer service-- I would be sure of it now!
Things to get: the Sicilian pizza. It's thick and awesome. Order jalapenos on top. They are a nice balance to the sweet sauce. Also, get the starter salad and the raspberry vinaigrette dressing-- it's tart and perfect.
Something unique: the spaghetti-filled calzone. Yep, you heard me-- carbs baked inside of carbs! :)
The servers are great, the management is great, the location is great (easy parking and plenty of it, including street parking), and the food is SO WONDERFUL! Try one of their multiple locations throughout the valley-- you won't be disappointed.
Tip: they don't take lunch reservations, but if you get there earlier than your appointed time, they have no problem pulling together multiple tables for larger groups.
