Oregano's Shmeragono's... the juggernaut Italian restaurant chain in Phoenix has people waiting in line seven days a week. Must be amazing?! Must be soooo tastey?! Must have fantastic service and ambience?! No. No. And no. Most of the staff is definitely professional, speedy and fun. My take out gal the other day "scolded" me for arriving too early.
"I said 25 minutes...whyd you get here too early?"
"To spend time with you, you prickly ass pear"
Anyway I hung out and waited my full alloted time. No biggie. I ordered 3 apps and 1 medium pizza.
"That'll be $47 dollars please." says miss prickly ass pear.
I arrive home to my $22 medium BBQ pizza. Thin crust. Nice sauce. Tastey all around. The stuffed mushrooms. Not so great. More salt then Salt Lake City. And at least a pound of crumbled Italian sausage. Portabellos were too slimy. Like bad canned fruit. Garlic cheese bread...well, come on how can you screw that up. My dog can make garlice bread (and it's not bad by the way).
All in all. I'd rather get take out than sit inside at this location. Not a big fan of the cluttered look. There are pictures and knick knack crap everywhere. It looks like an Italian flea market threw up everywhere!
