The newest pizza place in North-Central Phoenix opened shortly before Christmas 2008. Located just west of Desert Ridge Marketplace on the west side of Tatum. Menu essentially the same as the Scottsdale location. Otherwise same excellent pizza, service, atmosphere. Parking could be a problem at times.
Fresh local ingredients, fast service, and family atmosphere are the hallmarks of Humble Pie. Crust is thick at the edges, thin in the center. As a former Chicagoan the adjustment to thin crust was much easier with this quality dining spot. Love their salads too.
I recommend the pepperoni pizza because it is not topped with conflicting flavors. The Sausage and Fennel would be much better without the fennel. I realize American tastes have moved towards "scented" and "sweeter", but I have not. So don't be afraid to ask if the pizza you will be ordering has any non-traditional flavors. Would you order a Super Supreme Pizza Hut pizza and sprinkle mint or lavender on it? At this place they would, so beware before you order. Plan to order 1 pizza per adult. If you order carry-out, it only takes about 12 minutes to make a to-go pizza.
My only actual complaint about H.P. is the cramped dining area. And when the booze is flowing heavy the place gets loud.
Wording on the menu can be a bit confusing... you can add ingredients (pizza toppings) but you cannot substitute. You should research the menu online before going here. And their Sunday closing time online is not correct, so if you're going late - call first.
Update: From the time I originally wrote this review to today in 2013 they are up to 5 locations with more coming. I think one is planned this year at Skyharbor. This chain is locally owned.
