| - Took the kids there last night (10-21-10).
We enjoyed the food. I had the "Chicago" pizza which had red and green bell peppers, onions, sausage. It was very good. I just now had the leftovers for breakfast this morning.
My daughter had the Spaghetti Calzone, and was not overwhelmed by the taste, really. She picked at it, but said it was good - just not "blow her socks off" good.
There is all this talk by Yelp reviewers of the "sweetness" of the sauce at Spinatos, and they are correct - the sauce has a MILDLY sweet flavor. It's not overwhelmingly sugary sweet at all. After all the comments, I expected it to taste like tomato candy. But it was just sorta sweet-ISH. Some people talk about how "sweet" the sauce at Papa John's is, and I have never really noticed that sweetness. Although I did notice the Spinatos sweetness, it did not negatively affect the taste of the pizza AT ALL.
The pizza was better for breakfast than it was for dinner last night. :)
One other major plus: The "Italian Bread and Butter" that is on the appetizer menu for $1.89 if worth every penny, and more. Very fresh bread, baked daily by a local bakery, good hard brown crust, and plenty of cold tub butter to spread on it. It was excellent.
All in all, Spinatos is indeed one of the best pizzas I have had in Phoenix - definitely in the Top Five.
