I no longer live in Phoenix but every time I visit I get a Sicilian Pizza from Raffaele's. In Oct 2011 I had the lunch special just like we used to get in high school only now it is $5 instead of $3 and grabbed a pizza for take out on another night. Raffaele himself was there on the take out night even though the Aquino family sold the restaurant to long time employees in 2010 or so. I know many from my class at Washington (81) who have continued to eat here all these years and everyone agrees it is still wonderful. No ambiance at all. The restaurant is not the attraction. It is the food! Businesses don't stay open over 30 years if they suck. Do yourself a favor and eat at Raffaele's.
