| - I ate at Red Devil for the first time a couple of days ago and I thought I would share my experience. I had heard of this establishment through a local newspaper and I decided to give it a try... Upon first glance, the exterior left much to be desired, but I wasn't coming for the ambiance (well, kind of); I was interested in finding a good pizza. We started with an appetizer, which was the fried mushrooms and zucchini, a pleasantly crisp take on the classic fried duo. The ranch sauce that accompanied was a decent ranch, it was rather tangy, which is a good thing when it comes to ranch (although I am unsure of it is house made?) We decided to go with a classic pizza--cheese and red sauce. I feel like simplicity offers the best avenue for accurate pizza judgement... Too many toppings can alter the taste and the texture too much, so it's better to keep it simple. The pizza was very good; the crust was thin, but not so thin that it resembled a cracker. The sauce was flavorful without being overpowering and the amount of cheese was not offensive... Although the pizza was a little on the greasy side regardless. But I don't think it necessarily took away from the pizza by any means, because I think sometimes you just *want* a a little grease on your pizza! Nevertheless, I enjoyed my experience and our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. The only thing stopping this review from being a 5 star review is the ambiance and overall presentation of the space. I would love to see some updating of the decor! The waitress told us the Tempe location had been there for around 20 years... And I believe her because it doesn't seem to have been updated in 20 years.
