| - I spent one night in Phoenix last month, and because I didn't want to spring for a hotel, I cruised Couchsurfing.org and crashed with Michelle of Pizza Re. Not only did she give me (and my dog!) a place to sleep, she even fed me dinner. She is a very nice lady.
Pizza Re is a really cute pizza parlor. It's small and welcoming, and you can see the pizzas getting fired. You order at the register and take a seat at one of the tables. There isn't a ton of seating, but it looks to be enough, and there's even some seating outside. I sat by myself next to a table of high school boys talking about girls.
Michelle hooked me up with a full meal on the house, and it was delicious. Garlic knots came piping hot with great chewy insides and a heft dose of garlic. For my pizza, I ordered red pie with sausage, mushrooms, and artichoke - it was excellent. The pizza was thin with a great crust, and the toppings were perfectly done. The sausage was savory and hefty, and I loved the sautéed mushroom and generous hunks of artichoke heart.
I tipped $20 because I had nothing else on me and I was getting free room and board from the woman who served as my hostess. This was probably more than the comped meal would have cost - I hope that convinces everyone that this review isn't 100% bias. Pizza Re is just great. The people are friendly, the atmosphere is easy, and the food is fantastic. If you want a quick slice in Scottsdale, give this place a shot.
