| - 5/5 for food and 4/5 for service. I'm glad we came to this location - Spinato's is the only pizza place that we have consistently seen on "Best in Phoenix" lists that doesn't have a hipster/indie vibe, which is sometimes nice to have a break from. This seems like a more family-oriented joint, and we enjoyed having enough space at our table, and between our table and the next (not always a perk you get at downtown restaurants).
Food: We shared a Caesar salad to start with, which was really good (they do homemade croutons and parmesan crisps). Nothing mind-blowing, but very yummy and a comforting classic. We also ordered two small pizzas - the L'Italiana and Chicken Presto Pesto. The L'Italiana featured the famous "sweet sauce," which goes really well with the roasted red peppers, spinach, and feta. We couldn't get enough of this pizza. The sauce is very unique, and worth coming back for. The CPP was delicious, too - not quite as unique as the L'Italiana, but generous on the pesto, with big chicken chunks that didn't get burnt to a crisp in the oven. Together, they were plenty big enough for the two of us, and provided leftovers for dinner that night, too. We intended on getting dessert, but we were just too full after the pizza! Maybe next time.
Service: Nice, friendly, and helpful! Our server pointed out which things were most popular, didn't push us to order quickly, and was very kind. Drink refills came quickly and without prompting. We did wait a while for our pizzas, but we expected that from previous reviews.
Friendly, family-oriented pizza with delicious food, a fun backstory and super nice staff. We'll be back!
