Giant Rustic Pizza

I agree with another reviewer you could have said this location was closed on your webiste.
I used to love your business and would tell everyone about your Malibu Bbq chicken pizza, but today I am super disappointed by your business practice. My husband decided to go online and order instead of calling in the order. We received confirmation that it would be ready in 45 minutes before the pizza arrive, and I’m like that’s normal, I’m good with the wait because yum Giant Rustic Pizza, right? When it rolls over to an hour, I have my husband give the business a call just to make sure the delivery guy can find are apartment, but it turns out it’s bad news: we are «outside your delivery area». Um hello, if we were outside of your delivery area how about giving us a courtesy call, email or text notifying us of our situation! So we can work on resolving the issue, like ordering pizza from another business in the delivery area/​close by to pickup! So instead your employees have chosen not to full fill the order and not to give us a call, and to have us call them when we are now a super hungry family and wanting to know what’s going on. Well what’s going on is that your service is not customer friendly! I am sorely disapointed. — really hangry customer

Oh please come back Giant Rustic. We loved your pizza and your prices.

It would be nice if Unilocal and the business would update their information. Google mapped a pizza place nearby, went there to find it doesn’t exist. Location is now 30 minutes away. Terrible way to move locations and not tell anyone.

Okay, how about if your «closed» you let someone know your closed???
Leave a message on the voicemail, post something on your website, let Unilocal know, smoke signals, anything… otherwise someone will drive expecting a decent slice of pizza and low and behold– denied!!!
Also one of my pet peeves is when a restaurant is going to close, why don’t you, as a restaurant owner, say your closing? Telling everyone your «closed for renovations» while literally the place is cleared out accomplishes what?
It’s obvious the place is closed, thus the posting on the door, and there isn’t one item left of the original place. Hopefully another great pizza place will be moving in… only one can hope

Tried twice to visit. First time, they were «closed for renovations». Second time, there was a notice of deficient lease. Be aware, they may be closed!

Went there today for lunch. «CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS». Hoping this is true and it’s only a temporary closure. Their phone still works although it went straight to a recording. Keeping my fingers crossed … love their pizza!

Great pizza place. Service is awesome and everyone is friendly. Well priced on their lunch special

Interesting place that I probably don’t go to enough
This is not entry level pizza — actually has a wide range of ingrediants, types and the pizzas are GIANT.
But not quite high-​end pizza such as an Oregano’s or other top shelf pizza. it is what is it. a solid go-​to neighborhood pizza place — easy take-​out, simple parking, no inside seating with a few tables out front (maybe for the lunch crowd)
If you are hungry and you don’t want to travel far — go to this place — decent
i think they deliver and I have heard rumors that the sandwiches are awesome but i have not tried them

My wife and her family are from New York City. This is by far the best pizza they’ve had since they’ve come out here to visit over the last decade. I’d have to agree. Well worth your time. Crust: Perfect. Size: Perfect. Ingredients: Perfect. Been ordering a pie weekly for quite awhile.

Follow up review ordered delivery again. Was disappointed that order online option didn’t work on my iPad.
Not particularly displeased, but not pleased. I called to order. The woman who answered was so efficient and professional (we all know phone orders suck). Once again, minus the website issues, awesome. Great pizza once again.
Also the cursive font on the menu is borderline illegible on Apple products. Please use a more legible font.

Tried this pizza place for delivery for the first time. It took an hour to get our pizza due to that Sundays are their busiest evenings. When we received the pizza it was completely cold. They did warn us of the delivery time, but that doesn’t mean we should get cold pizza. I will say, at least the pizza wasn’t greasy. I will not order from here ever again. I was going to call and complain, but I decided to write this review.

This place is very close to my office, and I frequent it for lunch. Their pizza and salads are top-​notch, that is really all I have tried so far. Mainly because I like it so much I have ventured out. The other menu items look delicious as well. However, what really stands out about this place to me is the people that work there. Every person I have dealt with at the front counter has the nicest personality. You can see a similarity in the employees, it seems like management hires a certain type of friendly service oriented person on purpose. Even the cooks are super friendly and take the time to say hello and joke with me. It is very apparent that they care about their customers and it shows in their service and food.

Great little joint. Pizza was a bit late but understandable considering a small, friendly staff and the phone ringing off the hook. I may try delivery because the charge and tip make it worthwhile to not leave my couch!!!

Big pizza little flavor. If ur into a lotta food u got it here… big fresh looking mouth watering pizza… takre the ist bite… wheres the flavor… second bite… hmmmmm…3^rd convincing bite… yep. no flavor… salads are really good tho… maybe big rustic salad?

I ordered a Margherita style pizza which had too much garlic and a crust which was just OK. I also ordered Buffalo style hot wings and when I got home I discovered that they forgot to sauce the wings. I may give them another shot but with so many other choices it’s hard to imagine that I’ll actually get around to it.

This place is pretty dang glorious. As inventor of the world phenomenon «pizza Friday,» Giant Rustic Pizza had been on our radar for a while to try out. It’s right down the street from us and it promises giant pizza… what’s not to like.
Well, the name does not lie. Giant is GIANT. The one minus star I had to give was the last time I ordered in, I clearly said we only wanted the 14 inch pie, not the huge 20 inch. Girl on the phone repeated, 14 inches… we received the house-​sized pizza. Not a huge problem, because… I mean, it’s a ton of pizza. What a «problem» to have.
I love GRP’s large list of ingredients and toppings. Our most recent order had sun-​dried tomatoes, mushrooms and caramelized onions. Tasty-​city! The crust is really the start here. It’s *SO* good.
We also always get the California Dreamin’ salad. Rolled up deli mozzarella slices, tomatoes, peppers, arti hearts, roasted red peppers and black olives make up a great salad for sharing. Oh, and the BREAD they serve with the salad! So delicious! (and worth it to top your carbs on carbs on carbs.)
Such a great option for take-​out pizza!

One of the best pizza places in town! They live up to their name of «Giant»!!! Man! One slice is bigger than my face! You gotta try it!
The place is small, but God Damn do they have good pizza! Go try it now!

The pizza and wings were A-​OK. I was expecting a better more flavorful pizza but it turned out ok. I had the Brooklyn Hero, the Margarita and the wigs. Not bad of a place.
I wish their pizza had more of a oomphf! to the them. But they tasted like normal NON-​chained pizza which is always a good thing. Wings were pretty nice too. The dipping sauce was good.
Give it a try. maybe it will work out for you.

Pretty good pizza. Same owners as original NYPD Pizza. I think Fired pie down the street is better.

We order the 20″ cheese pizza for $ 14.11 last night for dinner and thought it was very good.
Giant Rustic Pizza is located in the Safeway shopping area, next to after school learning center Kumon and Leslie Pool supplies. This is a take-​out only store that has seating outside. Besides selling whole and half pies, Giant Rustic sells by the slice, along with salads and artisan breads. The latter is mainly for the lunch crowd, but it seems to have attracted some of the parents waiting for their kids at Kumon.
The pizza is a very large twenty inch pie that is tasty. The smaller 14″ pies are called Large. Although it is a thin crust, the bread is very chewy. Our family of three thought is was a little too chewy, but that is a matter of taste. The dough they use seems above average, while the pizza sauce was not seasoned very much. The light dusting of cheese on top was just enough to cover the pie.
Compared to the other pizza places within a few miles of this location, Giant Rustic’s is closer to NYPD, than Ray’s or Corleone’s in terms of style. NYPD tends to be chewier of the three.
We liked the pizza and all the energy and extras the new owners bring. The prices seem in line — somewhat less than Ray’s and NYPD; but more than Corleone’s for a similar sized pizzas. As I’ve mentioned, the 20″ Giant Rustic Pizza is $ 12.95, while the 14″ Large Rustic Pizza is $ 8.95. Additional toppings are $ 1.75 each for the Giant and $ 2.50 each for the Large. All prices are before AZ sales tax.
Giant Rustic also serves sandwiches that are made with their Artisan bread for $ 7.95. They include Chipotle Turkey Slaw, BMT, Tuscan Veggie and Italian Bird (Turkey).
In the case next to the counter, they sell Giant Salads for $ 8.95, with names like Sonoran Chicken, Mediterranean, Italian Kitchen, California Dreamin and The All American. They all looked good, so I’ll be back at some point for lunch. So Three Stars, «A-​OK».
