| - Alright, I have been searching high and low for a cream-of-the-crop pizza joint in the East Valley. Not a fancy fufu pizza place, but a down-to-earth, hot, cheesy, greasy pizza that would leave me craving for more.
I have lived in the East Valley for 10 years and found a couple places I thought were good pies, Having moved from Cleveland, Ohio, I enjoyed some great pizzas that were super tasty. Out here all you find is NY thin or Chicago deep dish, nothing in between, and chain after chain restaurants. Not my cup of tea. I want local! However, I never lived far enough East in Mesa to venture over to check this place out. I surely regret it now.
Since recently temporarily moving in with some family in AJ, it's been a real struggle to find decent food this far out, period. It seriously is not the same as in Mesa, or Gilbert, or Chandler. I have always been on the hunt for a great pizza and I have finally found THE ONE! Just walking in the door tonight, my gut told me good things. The smell was incredible and took me back to my primo pizzeria place back in Ohio. This place is a good 15 minute drive for me but I got it back home still hot and fresh.
Ordered a large pepperoni and an Italian sub for the wife. Let me tell you, I nearly ate the entire thing! Had to push myself away from the table. You know you've have those meals where you just can't stop! Well, this was it for me tonight. The ingredients were great, you taste that it's fresh. The cheese was awesome, just the right amount of sauce (not too sweet or sour), and the buttery crust (not too thick or thin) was fantastic. Maybe I've just been deprived of great pizza for so long that it made it that much extra special. I kind of doubt it though. This place has earned a top spot in my belly to quench my pizza cravings. You owe it to yourself to try it out.
As others have said, there is nothing fancy about the place itself, but it counts where it matters most, in the actual food. Please don't change a thing Papa Kelsey! I'll be a bit heartbroken when the time comes to move on down to the SE Valley.
