Barro's on Indian Bend is my usual family Friday night pizza & wings stop but was looking for something different tonight, but in the same price range. A google search for "best pizza & wings in Scottsdale" lead me to TJ's Pizza & Wings. I'm a NYC pizza fan and that's what the reviews praised here.
My son and I got there and ordered with the intention of eating our 16" large pizza and 24 wings (for $23.95) there but after sitting down and feeling how slippery the floor was, we decided to get it to go. The slippery (greasy?) floor freaked us out a little, plus there was a good college football game we were missing on a much bigger TV at home.
The guys at the counter were very friendly, wait time was minimal and we picked up drinks at Circle K next door. Another nice convenience was the Redbox machine right outside TJ's front door.
Pizza didn't look as good as I expected it to look after reading all the great reviews but my first bite removed that hint of doubt I had. Great thin crust, cheesy, foldable and a little greasy... Just the way I love it! The other reviews I read about the wings had me pretty anxious to try them out too. I'm a deep fried crispy wing fanatic and that's exactly how they cooked them. Even after the 5 minute ride home, they were still crispy and drenched in hot sauce, like they should be. Each wing was meaty and decent sized, not like the miniatures I got at Buffalo Wild Wings last weekend (and I love that place). I would have given TJ's 5 stars if the slices were bigger (large is 16" and as big as they make) and the slippery floor in the dining area didn't freak us out so much! I will definitely be going back for take out. Another nice incentive is that you can save the cutout coupons on the pizza box for a free 16" pizza for every 15 coupons. Thumbs up!
