I was one of the very first customers of Nello's when it opened as a sandwich shop in Tempe. Over the years the Ahwatukee location has maintained the original quality of the pizza and sandwiches and the Chicago pizza joint ambiance the Mai brothers had at the original location.
Their gluten free crust is as good as the original, which makes it my daughter's favorite place. The beer and wine selection is good and the staff is always friendly, courteous and efficient.
There are lots of fancy pizza places to assuage the snobbery of the pretentious types. Nello's is for those who want to dig into a genuine, authentic Chicago pie.
