This is the newest in the Oregano's chain. If someone didn't tell you it was on Cactus at the PV Mall you'd swear you were in any of their other locations.
This place gets packed! A relatively early dinner (5:30) on a Friday night required a 20 minute wait for a table. Not bad, but plan ahead.
The service is outstanding. They have the happiest employees I've seen in a restaurant. Seriously, these people could work at Disneyland.
Our party of six had thin crust pizza, a junior meatball sandwich, the baked zitti, rigatoni and angel hair pasta. We also shared a fried calamari appetizer.
The calamari was very good. It's battered, then baked, then pan fried in garlic butter. Served with marinara sauce.
Two of us shared a pizza. It was OK but a bit oily for my liking. Maybe the deep dish or pan pizza would have been a better choice. All of the pasta dishes were excellent. The junior meatball sandwich was pretty big and comes with fries. You might want to think twice before you order the full sandwich.
They only have one dessert choice here - they only need one dessert choice here! The Original Pizza Cookie is available in chocolate chip or white chocolate macadamia nut. We ordered both and shared. DAMN! Half cooked cookie dough and ice cream - who knew it was so good?
Did I mention the service?
Will we be back - yep!
