Downtown Pizza Lounge

The best pizza when your near the Convention Center. The crust was thin and crispy. The cheese was real mozzarella. It’s a small place but the pizza is worth it!

I’m giving this place 5 stars because it’s so close to the Convention Center. The only choices around area are overpriced bars and hotel restaurants. In the proximity of the convention center this is by far the most affordable, tastiest food that is near by. The pizza was pretty good (and I’m a pizza snob coming from the NY area). $ 3.50 will get you a slice. $ 6 for 12 dozen wings! The customer services was great but maybe it was a good day.

The pizza here is fab! And the 2 people they have working the days there, they are AMAZING!!! I forget her name, but the younger gal that mostly works the register… always makes me feel at home! I frequent the business at least once a week and upon taking my family there for a weekend pie, most of what they spoke about afterwards was about of how cool she was and how friendly. In a time where customer service seems to be all but completly lost, this place here gets a full 5 from me! Go in, get some hot pie, and enjoy! Great pizza and great staff!!! Thank you DTPL! !

the best in town! you must try it!

Second visit in 24 hours. The crust is what brings this NY style pizza home. It is perfectly crispy. I’ve had three different slices and wings and have loved every bite. I hope Unilocal can get the reviews coming because this place is great!

It’s not bad at all. The staff is nice the pizza is fine and reasonably priced. The marinara is really good it has a nice little kick

Don’t stop here. Bad service. Bad pizza. It was very bland and just didn’t hit the spot like good pizza does. Ridiculous hours (what pizza place next to a bunch of bars closes hours before the bars do?).

Went after the women convention with a friend. Prices are good nice place to get a quick bite. The slices are a good size. Only real complaint is pizza was average in taste and a bit burnt but I think the wings were real good and tasteful. Not bad place

I wouldn’t given this place even one star if I could. I’m currently sitting in the location, waiting 10 minutes for one slice of pizza because they didn’t have anything ready when I came in. They also have jacked up the prices to $ 5 a slice. Your pizza isn’t that great — I’d rather go to Little Caesar’s and get a WHOLE PIZZA for five bucks.

This place is awful…
I came in not expecting anything since I hadn’t seen the reviews and I was downtown for a convention so I wanted cheap food. First of all it is a fast food place so the food should be ready and usually warm. I tried to order wings (which they advertise on the banner) but they didn’t have any that day even though it was earlier in the day and in the week. The people working were very lethargic and didn’t want to be there (who would?). In leu of the lack of wings I decided to get 1 slice of pizza and a salad which was a combo for around $ 9. The salad came with either a vinegarette or ranch and I chose vinegarette. It was a goopy texture and the taste was so sweet it was like molasses. The salad was so bland and had basically nothing on it. The only hints of flavor came from the onion and tomato. The pizza had rubbery cheese and it was slightly cooler than room temperature.
I did not have a good experience here and I do not think I will be coming back.

Good Pizza. Went at about 3pm, no crowd. Right across from US Airways Arena and a few blocks from Chase Field.

What a drastic change two years can make!
Wanting something different from my standard rotation, I went back to DPL for pizza and wings. Because this has been a wild week and I needed some change. Unfortunately, this was *not* the appropriate place to get food. I should have known when I was one of three customers at 11:42 a.m. that turning around and walking the other direction would have been a blessing for my tummy. Instead, stubborn as I am, I placed my order for two slices of pizza (sausage and a supreme0 and an order of wings (hot). After being informed it would be 10 minutes for the wings to be cooked, which is fine really, my pizza was placed in the oven to be reheated. Needless to say, my pizza slices were boxed and setting on the counter quite a while before the wings were even done. This might have accounted for the funky odor the sausage pizza had when I tried eating it. Okay, perhaps the wings would be more inspiring? Nah! Standard hot wing sauce. Attempted to eat the supreme – epic fail. I pride myself in being able to eat a lot, and a lot of different things. But this was one of those meals where I was so happy I made green juice in the morning, because there was no way I would be able to either finish this «food» and would be hangry [that’s my niece’s word for when she’s so hungry she gets angry] all afternoon.
What to say about service? I felt the young lady was attentive initially, and cordial. Then she just kind of faded. She and the cashier both seemed frazzled when two more people showed up before my wings were done. Can’t say I’ll be back, unless I’m trying to sabotage a date.

I am from Jersey. I know good pizza. This was just okay. This place did well in a pinch. But not saying much. It’s frickin PHOENIX, not exactly a hotbed of pizza choices. I had a red crème Barq’s though. That was the best part.

Don’t eat here!
In short, I agree with the other reviewers who said «crappy food,» «terrible customer service,» and «overpriced.» My office just moved downtown and I thought I’d grab a slice to go for lunch. How long could that take? Answer: 20 minutes. It was nine bucks for a cheese slice, a tiny salad and a tiny drink.
The pizza was mediocre at best. The gal behind the counter asked if I wanted ranch or vinaigrette on the salad. I said vinaigrette, and she gave me ranch. When I reiterated that I had asked for vinaigrette, she said «oh, we’re out of that.»
THEN WHY DID YOU EVEN ASK ME?
Finally made it to the cashier, who was taking her sweet time with everyone (even thought the line was back to the entry door). I asked if she had a bag (she didn’t offer) since I was taking the food to go. Instead of bagging up my order, she handed me the food and an empty plastic bag. So I had to bag it all up myself and further hold up the line.
I predict this place would die in a heartbeat if it weren’t for the convention center being across the street — and deservedly so.

Worst place ever order the pizza pepperoni with wings Pizza comes out half cooked on all over greasy and we waited about 20 – 30 minutes just to get the pizza and when it comes out we tell em its not cooked all the way and the girl touches the pizza with her fingers disgusting any other people are waiting in line for the pizza long then we had been thee not going back it suck there

Yuck.
I had time before an event at the Convention Center so figured I would stop in for a slice of pizza and beer on a weekend day. The place was pretty busy. When you stand in line next to the pizza behind the glass, you kind of think you should order from that person making the pizza. NOT. They do not even acknowledge you. You get to the register then order. Girl in front of me was certainly confused by this as well.
I get a pepperoni slice and beer, go outside to eat and when I lifted the pizza, so much oil came off it I felt like I was on a hidden camera show. The slice was completely like a wet rag and flopping over. On top of that the cornmeal or whatever it was on the bottom was all burned. It made my fingers look like I was picking up coal.
so I finished this mess of a pizza and go to throw away my stuff and the big round open barrel, the kind you buy at Lowes for landscaping is completely full and a mound on the top existed for you to add your plate to… very carefully so you do not knock off other trash to the ground.
It amazes me that a place that only serves slices and beer cannot get that right. I venture to guess they will be out of business the next time I am downtown.

By far, the worst customer service I’ve ever received. The workers are rude, sarcastic, and pushy. The place is extremely crowded, and their food is overpriced. I can guarantee you’ll find better pizza places downtown, just not here.

I wound up here for several fast lunches during Phoenix Comicon. Service was definitely great, they did a great job of handling the huge swarms of nerds that were lined up through the front doors onto the street. If not for the convenient location, can’t say I’d come back though. Pizza was good, just not necessarily for that price.

Went in for a slice of pizza ($ 3.50) and wasn’t disappointed. Although the ambiance wasn’t great (smokey from burnt pizza crust in oven) the sausage pizza was good. Thin crust with a nice balance of sauce and cheese.
Will stop in again when in the area.

Great location with fast service and cheap drinks ($ 5 for wine and beer).
I pre-​gamed here while I waited for my friends to join me for the Madonna concert, great idea since the drinks in the concert venue were $ 16 a piece. Ouch.
