| - My favorite restaurant in Phoenix, period. We love eating here and we've got it down to a science. Here's your gameplan for a fantastic Oregano's experience in under 90 minutes. Print it out and take it with you (yes, you can laminate it if you want).
INSIDER'S GUIDE TO OREGANO'S:
1) Make plans for dinner (lunch is an impossibility unless you have two-hour lunch breaks ... you lucky dog).
2) Get some fun friends together (Oregano's is great in groups of about six - keeps all seating options open)
3) Grab a deck of cards or two (you'll see)
4) Get the whole group to show up at 6 (they won't put your name on the list unless you're all there)
5) Hang out and talk or play cards with your friends for forty minutes or so (now you see why they need to be FUN friends)
6) About 20 minutes before your scheduled seating, order two things: DEEP DISH PIZZA and GUACA-TONY. These both take a while but the waitstaff will put the order in and have it cook while you wait.
7) After you get seated and get drinks, put in any SALAD OR ENTREE orders. As you do, the guaca-tony will show up right on cue. Your friends will admire both your foresight and your appetizer selection. It's an amazing Italian guacamole with a thin-crust pizza for dipping. Unforgettable, as Old Blue-eyes would say.
8) The guaca-tony will be mostly gone in a hurry, so have the obligatory "no, you take the last slice" discussion, and reluctantly gobble down the rest of it (way to take one for the team, champ). Just as the pan is cleared, here comes the pizza and other entrees. Perfect! But don't let that waiter escape - order your PIZZOOKIES now! (ideally chocolate chip, but I won't judge if you go for peanut butter or white chocolate macadamia nut).
9) Devour the pizza. Their deep dish is so very good. It's extremely filling, so it's best to calculate about 1-2 slices per person. Don't worry, it's tasty reheated.
10) Just when you decide you can't eat another bite, the pizzookies show up ... and, well, you might as well have a little. Generous scoops of vanilla ice cream on top of a half-baked cookie in a pizza pan, and drizzed with chocolate syrup. The best.
11) Grab the check. Your friends will think you are very generous, but it turns out eating at Oregano's is really affordable in groups, since you split most things. Without alcohol, it usually works out to about $10 per person, including tax and tip. Of course, you can just ask everyone for the 10 bucks or, if you're feeling unscrupulous, ask them all for 15 bucks. For the awesome meal they just had, they'll probably pay it!
