Thin crust goodness 12/16/2010

Just good food, great pizza at Nellos 11/21/2010

I had the chance to visit some friends at Mesa, and they took me to Nellos Pizza in Mesa. The ambiance was really great! Their crew was very attentive and for a small pizza place, I would say, they got class. more

Now here is a place that has their act together! Best food I have ever tasted. Top that off with friendly staff and a very clean restaurant, you could not ask for anything more! Pros: Very Clean Great Food! Cons: They give you so much food you could become fat more

Best Pizza Joint in Town 12/14/2009

Although Nello's isn't in the glory days that it had several years ago, it still provides great, Chicago style deep dish pizza. As far as the service goes, they provide reasonably good service the only downside is the majority of them are men. But the most important thing about Nello's is the pizza, nothing else. more

Keep Driving 12/16/2008

Watched service and quality degrade over years. Nebraska fan hang out? Not a bad place but the location further west on Warner offers better food, new items, faster service, and a real parking lot. more

Lousy Service and Pizza 2/28/2008

My family went to Nellos on Sunday night, and recieved the worst service and it was compounded by undercooked pizza. After being seated, a 10 minute delay for greetings from our server. Pros: Usually good Cons: service and crust more

Fabulous crust, more food than you think 9/7/2006

We got take-home from Nello's and had not been there before, so we ordered based on our experience with other Pizza restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised at the large portions. The crust was as good as any we've had, and the ingredients were exceptional as well. more

Not as good as it used to be 6/22/2006

I started going to Nello's when it was at their origingal location on the SW corner of Southern & McClintock, catty-corner from their present Tempe location. Nello's USED to be my favorite pizza for many years. When my friends visit from Cal, Nello's was a mandatory stop. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. The pizza just isn't as good as it used to be. I think there are others that feel the same because it is not nearly as crowded as it used to be. We are looking for a new favorite pizza place. We won't be going back to Nello's. more

The Best Pizza in the Valley 11/7/2005

Having been an employee with Nello's in the past, I have to highly recommend that everyone eat there . Almost everything on the menu is homemade and not to mention you get a lot of food for your money.The owners are wonderful and make you feel right at home. The great thing is , is how clean the place is which is very important in choosing a restaurant to dine at frequently. I do have to say that the service has really gone downhill the past 2 years, but hopefully they will get enough constructive criticism and theywill get back to what it once was. We have always said its the Best Pizza in the Valley Pros: tasty, clean!!!, great menu Cons: service needs help more

Horrible Pizza 10/15/2005

Wow that was the worst pizza I have ever had! I think the cardboard pizza box would have tasted better. There was NO flavor in any of the pizza's we tried, Mt. Veggie and Pepperoni. I serriosly have never bought something and just throw it away, but lastnight we did. I am amazed at how many people say this is the best pizza in Phoenix, what a sad thing to say. We might have to move away from Phoenix if this is really the best it has to offer. Poor service too, I sat on the phone for 15 minutes to order and then the staff was just down right rude! Not a keeper at all! Go buy Pizza Hut if you want pizza in Phoenix you will be more satisfied with you meal. Pros: none, none, none Cons: bad food, bad service, bad parking more

Norfolks comments? 5/18/2005

This pizza is by far one of the best pies around... this is a professional opinion that has has tasted pizza from all over the country and has personally worked in a mom n' pop resturant for about 6 years (far, far away) and more importantly is not based on a single dinning expericence. The service, atmosphere and over all quality is great- TRY IT! YOU WON'T BE LET DOWN more

Nello's 8/17/2004

I do NOT recommend this pizza at all. It was by far the worst, most bland pizza I have ever had in my life! Everybody else I was with agreed with me. I have heard that the other items on the menu were ok, however I will never return after such a bad experience. more

Excellent 3/2/2004

I have been going to Nello's for 17 years. I have watched it change from one Mei brother to the next as Danny went to Ahwatukee and Brian took over. The staff are always friendly and remember your name as well as the owner. The Pizza has been excellent, and consistant and love their Italian beef (French Dip) sandwiches. Every time I have taken someone there over the years, they have been impressed. They don't advertise, as word of mouth keeps them extremely busy. Pros: good food, friendly staff, consistant more

MMMMMMM Good 12/14/2003

I had Nello's (Ahwatukee) for the first time five years ago on a first date with my husband. He introduced me to it and no we go several times a week. The entire staff knows what we eat, what we drink and all our friends by first name. It's hard to find places like that anymore. I recommend getting a pizza with bacon, spinach, feta cheese and red onions...mmmmmmm! Have George make you a George's pizza for a real treat, he'll choose the toppings and you will love it! Pros: Great service, great food, reasonable wait times Cons: Closed on Mondays, little ambiance more

Feeling good 5/15/2003

Nello's is the type of neighborhood place you love to bring you friends and out of state family. Say no to the cookie cutter pizza joints. All of their locations have their own personality. I frequent the Alma School location. The pizza is just the beginning, the salads ,sandwiches are first class. The staff has never dissappointed. They must be happy because many of them have been there for a long time. If you have'nt been to one of these establishments,what are you waiting for? The thin crust pizza is to die for. more
