| - When I first moved to Fountain Hills over 7 years ago, Redendo's was a fairly new business. I stopped in and decided to see if Arizona Pizza would be any better than Atlanta Pizza (where I lived for almost 8 years and couldn't find more than a couple of palatable NY style Pizza joints).
I was quickly spoiled by Redendo's. The pizza was better than anything in Atlanta, and as good if not better than most in the NYC/NJ area I grew up in.
it didn't take long talking to the owner Anthony and his wife Caroline to figure out these were a couple of NY natives that took not only their Pizza seriously, but their Italian cooking as well.
In those 7 plus years, Redendo's has become the place for me to pick up food on the way home from work, when I just don't want to cook. It is not only the place we take visitors from back east, but it's where those visitors demand to be taken when they return.
Sometimes you just want a slice of great pizza, and I highly recommend you try it, but do NOT make the mistake of ignoring their other fantastic offerings. The Calzones are not only to die for, but they are massive. Their hot and cold sandwiches all satisfy. My personal favorite is the A-Bomb, which would likely be called simply an "italian sub" or "hoagie" in NJ.
Redendo's is not only the best "Pizza" place in Arizona, but best Italian Restaurant in Arizona. It just happens to be in a "pizza joiint"!
