I've been hitting 3 different pizza joints regularly during my time here in Phoenix - Rosati's when I have a deep dish jones, Grimaldi's when I have a coal oven pizza jones and Bianco's when I just want a delish artisanal experience.
However yesterday I wanted to break out of this rut and saw a review of Spinato's by a guy named "Bob" and he gave some props to Florencia's Pizza on Ray Rd. The review steered me from Spinato's and drew my attention. I will be sending him a private message of thanks in just a bit cos he was right on point regarding Florencia's.
Florencia's is thinner crust and perfect char, not cracker crunchy and not chewy; the sauce, cheese and toppings were fresh, flavorful and pair very well with the crust. Not a whole lot of grease either despite the fact I had pepperoni and bacon as two of my toppings.
Yeah I'm a fan. Thanks Yelp...you did me right...again!
