Pizza People Pub

The waitstaff is a decent group of eccentric young professionals, but the food is a diverse garden of flavors.

Tried this place out tonight to try something new. We ordered 5 different pizzas and 3 starters and everything was on point and delicious. Can’t wait to try the rest of the menu. Definitely trying the Mac and cheese. I had the Happy Mac pizza which had Mac and cheese with ground beef. Totally awesome! My favorite thing was the Drippy Fries it’s a must try for sure.

Some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Absolutely delicious. I had 2 different kinds of pizza (Testosteroni and the special taco pizza), 2 different Mac and Cheese, and the half baked cookie dessert, also the garlic monkey bread. Everything I ate was amazing, and all really fresh. Service was good, no issues at all. Price was decent, nothing more than other semi-​casual restaurants. Definitely would recommend this to anyone in the area or not, and anyone in the mood for pizza.

Sooo, we went to Pizza People because it was down the street from theatres like All Puppet Players, and Phoenix Theatre, and Nearly Naked Theatre. THEN we decided to try it for brunch one Sunday. Marvelous! Same friendly, efficient staff. Great food. Great location.

Good place to have a drink and eat a slice — they have gluten free and drink specials which are awesome

My sister and I went to watch the game last night and we had a great time. Service was really attentive and the food was good.
The style and décor was cure, and fit the trendy area well. The menu had several things go to choose from and was easy to navigate.
We got a pizza, Mac and cheese and some wings. We tried some of the sauces and everything was pretty good! I’d definitely come back. Reasonable prices good quality if food. My only complaint was our pizza crust wasn’t crisp. It was just a tad too doughy.

Food was great however the service was poor. There were so many people coming to our table, we still have no idea who our actual server was.
My biggest concern was that when I ordered a gluten-​free crust, the girl that took our order never communicated that to the kitchen so I was brought a regular crust. Luckily the thick crust was a dead giveaway to the crust NOT being gluten-​free and was able to catch it before ingesting. There was a woman who I’m assuming was the manager who was very gracious and made sure to take care of the issue (and very quickly).
Not impresses with the waitstaff… At all!
LOVE the wide variety of gluten-​free substitutions on the menu!

First visit to PPP stopped by for lunch on a Friday afternoon. Cute place! The décor is adorable and they have really comfy looking chairs and booths. We sat at a high top near the windows overlooking the patio which looks awesome! Will have to come back and check that out next time!
Ordered BBQ buffalo wings, pepperoni pizza and mozzarella salad. The salad was fantastic! The wings were cooked to perfection and the sauce was awesome! Will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu!

My kinda spot in the Roosevelt Historic District, within walking distance of my Loft. Pizzas are TASTY, the service is professional, EXCELLENT clientel, priced right. What’s there not to like?

This place had me at MAC and CHEESE and PIZZA. My two favorite things. They specialize is out of the box Mac. We ordered the Blue Cheese Mac, Mushroom Mac, and the Spicy Buffalo Mac. Wow wow wow. my taste buds loved every bite. The pizza is also homemade with fresh toppings. The 10inch Pizza and the Macs to share was plenty for me and my plus 1.
I would definitely be coming back here for lunch again to enjoy more items on their menu.

Pizza People has drink specials all day EVERYDAY (my bf and I tend to frequent on Fridays for the $ 4 Jack Daniels special)
I’ve always had a great experience here. There is bike parking nearby and a dog friendly patio stocked with water bowls for your pooch. It’s also a good spot to catch a game and grab a quick bite.
It’s not my favorite pizza place in the Valley, but they have so much more to offer than just pizza. Get the monkey bread!
The staff is consistently friendly and attentive, and I never have to wait to be seated here, a huge plus for the location.
Keep doing what you’re doing Pizza People.

I have never had a poor experience here and have enjoyed myself ever time. I ADORE the local art and the food is fab. The lounge area is cozy and the dining area is great (but they are mostly high tops). The beer selection is not bad, and the only negative I can drum up is that I wish it was bigger. But they truly make the most of the small space, so I’m happy.
I have been twice and would not hesitate to return. :)

I have to thank Angels Trumpet Ale House and Pomo for being closed on Monday nights for us trying Pizza People Pub. We had such a good time the first time that we returned two days later. My husband and I met up with our buddy Tim S. prior to the St. Louis Cardinals games and were looking for pizza. Pizza People Pub was in the back of my mind because I had read some good reviews for this place from Monica O. and Jon H.
The 5-​star review starts with easy, free parking and then a great atmosphere. The décor and furniture are some of the coolest I’ve seen in a long time. Love the chairs. We were greeted and seated right away.
In two visits we tried the monkey bread, spud fingers, and pigs in blankies for apps, and four different pizzas: Testosteroni, the Manny, the Hottie, and the Pig N Chick. All the pizzas were very fresh and flavorful with a perfect yeasty crust. I think my favorite pizza was the Testosteroni, but they were all great. All the apps were delicious as well.
And don’t get me started on the $ 4 Drink of the Day. What a great deal! The first one we tried on Monday was the Basil Mojito and that was really refreshing and light. I love the fresh basil. Then on Wednesday we had the Cucumber Rickey and it was very nice as well. Those $ 4 drinks come in a pint glass and are a great deal!
Brandon took great care of us on Monday and Beki was really friendly and funny on Wednesday. Overall I can’t think of anything I didn’t love about this place. The food, service, and prices are all perfect. I am trying to think of a reason to be in that area again soon so I can try some more menu items. I think we’ll go back and cheer for the home team against the stinky Dodgers. Except for Chase Utley. He’s not stinky.

So… me and my friends Kate and Louie were headed on down to the Cardinal game at Chase Field. We decided to meet up for dinner beforehand. We were originally going to go to a different pizza joint but it turns out they were closed on Mondays. So were a bunch of other restaurants downtown… pretty much a food ghost town on Mondays. Kate busted out her handy Unilocal app and saw that Pizza People Pub was pretty close by plus they were open on Mondays. I had personally never heard of the place, but I was in the mood for pizza to begin with, so Pizza People Pub sounded like a cool new spot to check out. We headed on down that way.
It’s right on Central near the Library and they have their own free parking lot… very cool. We walked in and found the place to be very appealing. It was hip but not «douchebag hipster». More of a mellow vibe. Not too many people were in the place and we were seated immediately. About that… the interior of the restaurant looks more like a smoking lounge than a restaurant. They have these huge, high back, (p)leather chairs at the tables and some couches as well as high top tables with bar stool type chairs. We were seated at a table right by the door with the high back chairs. These chairs were so comfy and were hands down the best restaurant chairs I have ever sat in. On to the food…
This place is known for their pizzas and drinks. Hence the name, Pizza People Pub. Every day they have a «drink of the day» and it is only $ 4.00. Kate and Louie partook in some of their beverages and they said that they were great! The first time there, (yes…it was so good on Monday, we came back AGAIN on Wednesday) I went with a pizza called «The Hottie». This was a pizza that came with green chiles, serrano chiles, jalapenos, mozzarella and sausage. The second night there, I went with an order of Spud Fingers (oven roasted potatoes) and I went with a pizza that is currently not on their online menu. I think the name of it was «The Manny». This pizza had mozzarella, jalapeño cream cheese, onions, pepperoni, bacon, chili flakes and avocado. Here is how they were…
The Hottie– This was awesome! They cut up fresh jalapenos and serranos and layer them all over the pizza. The pizza is topped with tons of green chile as well as crumbled sausage. All of this is placed on top of a cornmeal dusted crust and then fired up in their oven. It was damn tasty! Spicy but not «burn your mouth» spicy. The crust was very flavorful and held up well with all the toppings it had on it. I would definitely get this again.
The Manny– This pizza was fantastic except for one part of it… the avocado. They cut up pieces of avocado and put a slice on each piece (6 pieces total). The problem with it was that the avocado was severely bruised and browned. I’m not sure how they even brought that out and served it like that. That was my only complaint with the whole dining experience. I removed all the avocado and ate the rest of the pizza. Good thing is, even without the avocado, this pizza was awesome! It had a ton of bacon on it, lots of chili flakes to give it a lot of heat, good pepperoni and even a few onions. They kicker was the jalapeño cream cheese. It was dolloped on sort of like ricotta. It was creamy, spicy and added a nice flavor profile. Minus the nasty ass avocado, this pizza was delicious! Not as good as The Hottie, but still great flavors.
Spud Fingers– They come 1lb to an order and they are served with their garlic/​dill ranch sauce. It was a thinner sauce but it went perfect with these potatoes. It tasted great and was one of the better ranch type dressings I had ever had. The potatoes had a little crunch on the outside and were soft on the inside. They had sprinklings of parsley and salt on them and the flavor was great! One order is big enough to share between a few people.
Kate and Louie ordered pizzas both nights and they liked what they got. They also went with their Garlic Monkey Bread and their Piggies in Blankets. I had a taste of each of those and they were great, too.
I am a pretty hard person to impress sometimes. Pizza People Pub impressed me immediately! Atmosphere is awesome, service was fantastic both nights, prices are reasonable and the food was great! Another great pizza joint in Phoenix! I will definitely be back! Fantastic find by Kate!

It was my birthday weekend and I was having a get together with friends and family, and I had originally planned on having the dinner at another local restaurant but few days before the dinner the manger called and said they could not host us unless we sat outside, and well its Phoenix & August so that’s not going to work.
So I asked some friends and did some research and called Pizza People Pub on a Wednesday to see if they could host a party of 26 on Saturday at 6pm and without any hesitation they said yes, the hostess asked what’s the occasion told her it was to celebrate my birthday, was given 2 rules, no glitter no confetti, damn it was like she knew me already haha.
26 people, plenty of tables and one great server! I wish I remembered his name, he was able to handle the entire party with ease, and everyone had nothing but positive things to say about the service! He didn’t even blink an eye when asked if separate checks were ok, he said no problem! Just excellent.
I started off with the drink of the day, which was the huckleberry punch, not sure of what all was in it, but it was a great drink for 4 bucks.
For food, I went with the BBQ Pig N Chick, BBQ sauce, mozzarella, chicken, BACON, onions and fresh cilantro, this was a delish pizza! The crust was perfect, it had an even amount of sauce and plenty of toppings. And even with being a big party, everyone received their meals in a timely matter.
I was happy with everything Pizza People Pub provided, I now know a cool spot to have for small or large dinner parties!

Really love this place! Second time I have been here. I organized a going away party for one of my managers and the staff at Pizza People Pub were amazing to us! For a party of 30, the servers were above and beyond!
Everyone loved the food: incredible Pizzas (my fave is the Hottie), burgers, appetizers, yummy Mac and Cheese and more! Thank you Pizza People Pub, you were stellar!

Went here for dinner on a weeknight while in town with the family. Except for a few other diners, I was surprised that this place was otherwise pretty empty.
The place was very clean with a cozy atmosphere, nice for a date or a group. Service was friendly and they checked on us often. Food was just a tiny bit slow in coming out, but not too bad…
We had their monkey bread as an appetizer. Little bite size pcs of bread. Had a slight crunch but chewy and doughy inside. A yummy buttery/​garlic taste that went well with their ranch and tomato dipping sauces…
We also had their Mac n Cheese… There’s several kinds to choose from, and you can customize it more with add ons. We kept it simple and got their Parmesan and corn Mac n cheese… Great flavor, not to salty… Very dense and creamy! It’s definitely filling. We got a 20oz which looks like way more than 20oz and shared it amongst 3 of us… I wish I remember the names of the pizzas we got… One was with mushroom and truffle oil and arugula. (The arugula was a bit overpowering, but very good). And another that my husband chose with meats… Their pizzas are 10inch thin crust… Each had very good tastes and textures.
Approved!

Went here for my first time on a Wednesday night.
It was empty at 7pm at night. Pretty clean. Nice setup. Me and my family got seated immediately.
Our server came and greated us. He was pretty nice. We ordered mac and cheese with bacon, a burger with coleslaw, and a cheese pizza.
The mac and cheese with bacon was creamy but over salted. My teeth hurt from too much salt! The burger was ordered medium rare and came out well done. The coleslaw was runny and tart. Pizza was good.
Nothing too special about this place. Quite a first experience. THE END!

I’m definitely not a person who cares for pizza or beer so you can imagine the thoughts going through my head when informed this is where I’d be having dinner one night last week. I actually ate a protein bar before I went but a friend said to me, it’s like a nice restaurant/​bar, it’s not your typical «pizza» place.
I was actually quite impressed, it was really nice inside and not the kind of «pizza» place I thought I was going to. There was 6 of us, we had a ton of drinks, the cucumber drink was on special this night for only $ 4. Not being that hungry after having a snack before hand, I had the pesto hummus with veggies which was delicious. I love pesto and the bread it came with was also delicious, very warm, baked to perfection and seasoned with some garlic. My friends of course ordered pizzas, one had the money knots which he enjoyed and of course I was the one to get the «random» meal. I love veggie patties and I love the vegan cheese from Daiya but really didn’t want a whole burger. Our server was nice enough to let me order just the black bean patty with the vegan cheese and it was to die for. It tasted so delicious and didn’t have that tex-​mex flavor that I don’t really care for.
Christina was our server this night and she was great! Extremely friendly, told us all their most popular menu items and made several drink suggestions for us. The guys I was with were of course ordering drink after drink and she was definitely able to keep up. My 2 guy friends also wanted a picture with her and she went along with it so thank you!
I recommend this «pizza» place, especially if you’re like me and like nice restaurants, this is the spot to go for great food, drinks and service!

What’s with this pizza tasting so good?
They don’t gotta front
What did we ever do to deserve this
That made them so delicious?
Hoo, hoo
But you know I’m yours
Hoo, hoo
And I know you’re mine
Hoo, hoo
And that’s for all of time
Oh Bo Bites, Let’s go to Pizza People Pub…
Oh, oh, and order meatballs I want more!
I Bo Bites what I want to say about it anyway
I Bo Bites about that!
Great service great people great food!
Overall Pizza People Pub made my night much better! I came on an off night so it was pretty chill spot. The place is built right under some condos; lucky bastards! With a U shape bar and TV screens all around this makes for a great sporting event place.
As I ordered my drink the bartender introduced me to a new whiskey since that was my choice of beverage tonight. He offered me a sample; which was awesome, but I thought it was too smooth for my concoction. Maybe next time. My friend and I proceeded to order the pizza and meatball appetizer. The meatball was layered with some marinara and topped with some garnishments. Overall, very homemade tasting and darn great start to my palates. The star of the night came when we went with The Hottie; a thin crust pizza with mozzarella, Italian sausage, jalapenos, serrano peppers, green chile, and basils; when they say hot oh boy they meant hot! Not a lot of places I know will put some banging hotness to my liking, but PPP popped me with a good Right!
In the end, definite spot for me to return if I’m back in the central area again! — Enjoy!
