| - Wow. If I lived in Tempe or if Tessio's was near me, I would definitely be going here on the regular. Sadly, I don't live anywhere near Tempe. And sadly for the City of Long Beach in California, this is the best pizza I've had since moving to Long Beach.
I was recently in Tempe/Phoenix for a conference and we decided to skip going out for dinner and order take-out instead. We were feeling lazy and tired. We found Tessio's using Google maps and yelp. The front desk recommended Boston's pizza nearby but after reading someone's yelp review saying that Boston's was like Applebee's we decided to keep looking. Anyways, we finally found Tessio's and luckily they deliver to the nearby hotels.
We ordered an extra large with sausage, garlic and mushrooms. They use the sliced sausage rather than the crumbled kind. And they use fresh mushrooms, not canned. Both a welcome treat! The pizza here was so good that my friend, who does NOT like pizza (as in she's never cared for it and rarely craves it), actually said it was good and had seconds. The crust is thin so you must enjoy that type of crust. My suspicion is that anyone who isn't giving this place at least 4 stars, must be looking for your typical chain-type of pizza. This is definitely not Domino's or Pizza Hut.
We also ordered some hot wings. These were pretty good. The sauce was tangy and spicy, yet flavorful. The sauce also was not that glaze, gooey type of sauce that sometimes is called "buffalo" sauce.
Service was okay. No complaints. We ordered delivery to a hotel and they made it the hotel with no problems and no long delay.
