| - This was my second trip to Picazzo's. I went to one in Tempe when it first opened a few years ago. I don't remember much about it but I guess it couldn't have been too bad because I went back.
This time, I went on a Thursday night at about 7:30 and the place was mostly dead. We were seated promptly on the patio per our request because the weather is finally tolerable outside.
Our party of 3 ordered a cheap bottle of wine, the baked brie to start, a Caesar and a wedge salad, and a large thin crust pizza. Our small salads were HUGE but very very good. The large salads are probably as big as the table and could feed a small army. The baked brie was also very sizable but very good as well. The give you a bunch of flat bread, 2 roasted cloves of garlic and 2 melted chunks of brie. The pizza (1/2 peperoni, sausage and ricotta, and 1/2 pesto & artichoke) was also very tasty. I would definitely get the peperoni, sausage and ricotta pizza again.
The next time I visit I would just get a salad and pizza to share. I didn't realize that the portions would be so ginormous. The salads, appetizer and pizza could have seriously fed around 5 people. I guess that is why they can get away with charging so much for their food.
I see some issues with the service here on Yelp, but our waiter was very fast and friendly and I couldn't have asked for anyone better.
I will definitely be back again.
Oh, and this place is on restaurant.com so before you go you can buy a $25 or $50 gift certificate for just a couple bucks. It was well worth it for us and would do it again.
