This place is the valley's best kept pizza secret! Well it least it was when my boyfriend and I checked it out in the summer of '09. Classic Italian Pizza deserves every positive review Yelpers give because their pizza is AWESOME.
I can vouch that the ingredients are fresh just like their websites states:
" Azhar Began, Chef & Proprietar, hand picks fresh ingredients daily. Cheese and in-house-made pork sausage made from scratch every morning, imported prosciutto, and Toscana salami also available."
We love to start off every date night here with the Mediterranean Mix which is Mediterranean Olives and Feta Cheese (7.95) and a basket of Brick Oven Bread served with the house special tomato sauce (7.95). This app spread gets me SO excited for the actual pizza and we don't even talk much while eating it, just make a bunch of MMMMMMMMM sounds the whole time. :)
My Classic pizza of choice is Prosciutto with mozzarella sauce and fresh basil and the now hubby enjoys the four meat pizza pepporoni, ham, salami and sausage. All pizzas are $10.95-17.95.
If you haven't been here yet and you're a pizza enthusiast Classic Italian Pizza is worth your drive to Tempe. Don't believe the negative reviews until you try it yourself! :D
