How are you going to seriously compare this place to Cibo or Bianco? That is absolutely ludicrous. I have had this place on my list to try for quite a while and I feel not only disappointed but cheated. I wanted to experience what some of you five star reviewers had. Maybe I ordered wrong.
I ordered the cheese raviolis with marinara, a regular Margarita with pepperoni, and a garden salad.
The cheese raviolis had a nice flavor to them. Not too much sauce, the ravioli itself tasted pretty solid and the whole dish had an authentic taste to it. I personally would rather have Tutti Santis raviolis over them any day of the week as they are creamier and pack more flavor. Also, 15 bucks for 6 small raviolis is ridiculous. They are not hard to make and not even made with expensive ingredients.
The poor pizza looked so plain in the box I was disappointed from the very start. I've honestly seen better looking pizza from Rosatis. However, it did have a nice flavor to it. The mozzarella really made it. As for a margarita it wasn't. It was basically a cheese pizza with pepperonis. Maybe a tiny speckle of basil and tomato here and there. And when I say a tiny speckle, I mean it. I was very disappointed. The bread was okay and the sauce was decent. Nothing that screamed it deserved to be compared to the best pizza parlors in AZ. Lets get real here.
I'm not going to mention the side salad. It was what a side salad should be. To sum this up. For 45+ with a tip and for the quality and considering my expectations I would give this place a 2.5. Please stop comparing every decent at best pizza to Bianco, Cibo, LGO and others. This place is no where even on that level. I think Spinatos is way better. La Piazza Al Forna murders it. Shoot, even Grimaldis is more impressive.
