We've been on a quest to find "our" pizza place - the one that leaps to mind when you get a craving for crust, sauce and cheese. Grimaldi's is probably our favorite in AZ so far, but it's more of a drive than we want for a quick carry-out dinner. After one try, Sclafani's is coming in a close second.
Their cheese pizza is a classic thin crust New York style pie, with good sized wedges laden with (too much?) cheese and a sauce that is a good balance between spice and sweetness (someone else recommended Spinato's, which was also very good except for the very sweet sauce). We also tried a pepperoni pizza, which had plenty of flavorful disks that were just salty and spicy (and oily) enough.
Having opened in August they are still working on getting a menu posted online. That's not a real problem since they have kept it simple: pizza - nothing else. 5 sauce choices and lots of toppings available on the "Build Your Own" list means that you can probably come up with a combo for everyone. They also have eleven specialty pizza combos that look like many other pizza joints.
On this Friday night at dinner time they were able to have our 2 pizzas cranked out in under 20 minutes, with a good lineup of other orders and the phone ringing. Hats off to them for a strong start, and we look forward to picking up many more pizzas in the future.
