Oregano’s Pizza Bistro

I ate here with friends after attending the Phoenix Open. We sat outside on the patio (they had a bunch of heaters so it wasn’t super cold). The atmosphere has a warm, vintage feel. The lights strong up make it cozy and romantic. The service was very good, and prompt. We shared a thin crust pepperoni, garlic and basil pizza and a dinner salad. The dinner salad was HUGE — enough for all of us to share and have left overs — and very reasonably priced. The house balsamic dressing was really good. Nice and tart. The pizza was delicious as well. We all found ourselves over eating due to how tasty it was. The large easily fed three people with left overs to take home. I would eat here again for sure.

Their pizza is always delish! Definitely recommend their thin crust. I usually get carryout as their dining areas can fill up fast and be unpleasantly noisy. When I have dined in, the servers are usually friendly.

Have probably eaten here more than any in this area. And back today for more. Pasta with marinara, sausage and shrimp. Is amazing good. Great service. Will be back again.

I have been here several times, although this is my first review. I love coming here because it is different. Not fancy but consistently good. I do not like coming here because when I do, I eat too much! The portions here are large. I always have to start out with their Guac a Tony, So good! Today we got the margarita pizza which was ok, and the número one. I did not try that but was told it was very good.
The salads looked great, so will have to go back soon to try one. Staff was very friendly and our waiter was great!

Best place ever. We have been coming here for years. Have tried everything on the menu. Yummy. Highly recommended.

First off the waiter and staff were extremely helpful and friendly! Secondly, their food is truly Chicago style. Having lived in IL most of my life this is the food I have dreams of and salivate thinking of for days on end. Great deep dish and thin crust pizza (yes we went over board and order way too much food)! Way worth it but please note portions are HUGE! HUGE! Pasta was amazing, meatballs, sauces everything on point. Their wings are magical we had the Italian gold my favorite and my fiancés fav the garlic lime! Again magic! Their salad was on point! The dressings are home-​made in fact EVERYTHING is home-​made there! Go eat there. Go now! Why are you still reading this?!?

Initially, the atmosphere brings you in.
The theme of the restaurant is overused (1930
s-1940’s décor with old magazine covers, fake reproductions and retro décor.
The temperature inside the dining area was cold, with no fireplace or heater and the windows open. So, that being said I was uncomfortable from the start.(It was 50 degrees outside which is cold for us zonies.
The hostess and waitress were excellent, and very cordial, unfortunately for them the food was sub par and gave me an atrocious 2 day case of either indigestion or e-​coli poisoning (I’m not sure which) .
I ordered their house «Oreganos «salad with added chicken. The temperature was too warm for a salad and the chicken was cold (should have been opposite), perhaps that is where the problem started?
Next, we were brought out a small deep dish pizza with sausage that was runny and not what I would expect for a 16 dollar pizza. Disappointed and not tasty at all.
The next entrée was a 16 inch thin crust that was better, but the crust was limp and not crispy like a hand made thin should be. Again way too much money for the low quality.
My child had a small caesar salad and she also developed indigestion, but perhaps that was just coincidental.
In their defense, it was relatively busy, but not THAT busy, so either the cook needs some more lessons or they were just sloppy on this particular evening (Sunday)
I have dined at other Oreganos locations for lunch and it has been a hot or miss.
This trip was overpriced and make me sick at my stomach.
60 dollars… no beer or wine and I had water to drink… No way. Next time I will be driving by Oreganos to a better tasting place

This place is very terrible and expensive. The food is so bad. I went there with my fiancé and his daughter last Sunday. My fiancé ‘s daughter order the Cesar salad no meat they charge 6 dollars, after she ate her stomach hurt !!! When we ate pizza from there me and my fiancé we both go home and have a upset stomach. My fiancé go bathroom many time. I called the manager of restaurant complaint for refund money. But the lady manager still Irnoge. She is very bad customer service. I tell everyone that don’t come there. Because the food no fresh and so expensive and make you sick !!! We always eat from Wendy for salad and chili soup so delicious and cheap and fresh they make fresh every day just 11 dollars for Salad Apple chicken and 2 chili soup !!
If we compare the bill at Oregano pizza they charge too much. 62.18, I suggest the people should to come Wendy just $ 11 for 2 person very good food and fresh every single day !!!

Taylor and Tammy sue took great care of us! This was my first time at Oreganos and I will definitely be back, the food was great but the customer service was exceptional. I work in hospitality so it’s nice to go out on a Saturday night and receive good service! Very impressed!

Third time I’ve had their excellent pan pizza and it’s delicious every time! My brother was here from out of town and we had to get take out. He likes 5 meats and basil on his. It was fabulous! That was his pizza. The rest of us got the deep pan cheese, but we kept eating my brothers because it was so damn good. The service and the drinks at the bar were just as great and you can’t beat the jazz atmosphere. I’m eating pizza for breakfast too! One recommendation: Please put hooks underneath the bar for the ladies’ purses because we can’t hang them on the round back chairs. Thank you Oregano’s!

They have a winning combination; good food, great atmosphere, large portions and very reasonable prices. Always consistent.
Tip: try their deep dish pizzas, they are fantastic!

Consistently excellent salads (Pablo Picazzo) and service plus reasonable prices are a winner in my book. Sometimes there are waiters who are eye candy and that is a nice feature !
Tip: Go early at lunch time… it is a lot less busy than dinner time when you can often expect lines.

I love this place. Friendly employees, great food and a fun atmosphere. The only problem is getting in here. Now that the snow birds are coming back it will be very difficult to get in at any time. Boom dip is so delicious with the pizza crusts served on the side as the bread for this dish, garlicky, soft and warm. The meatball sandwich is one of the best i have had along with the golden wings. I love the pizza, thin crust, thick or pan, it has wonderful flavor and is worth the wait.

4 STARS– Oregano’s Favorite salad; this was delicious. It had a subtle, sweet dressing with pine nuts, raisins, olives, feta, sundried tomatoes, lettuce, and roasted red peppers. I’d go back again for this! I’ll definitely be back to try the Kale Caesar salad.
The pizza… meh. 2.75 stars. The flavors were just okay. I would’ve expected a lot more from a popular pizza joint. I’ve had much better Chicago-​style pizza.

I usually love coming here and the customer service is always awesome.
However, the last time I went I ordered a large Beefstro salad and a large Pablo Picasso salad for my girlfriend and between the both there was maybe 2 oz of meat.
I would have said something but if you’ve ever ordered the big beefstro salad or the pablo picasso, you know you have to search throughout the salad leaves for meat and usually you find your fair share. By the time I consumed half the salad, I was too stuffed on iceberg lettuce to care.
Same thing with my gf (she got the small salad).
Probably will take a break from this place…

I’ve been coming here for probably 10 years now. Organoes on Shea has been my home since I was a kid. It’s been a little while since I’ve been in, and I can’t say anything has changed! I love that.
Started off in the outside bar with a frozen bellini. Lara was so nice but I decided to opt for a booth inside. I was really sad that my favorite shrimp Caesar is no longer on the menu but my server, Rachael was happy to accomadate something essantially the same.
As always; great atmosphere, food and drinks. It’s what I’ve come to expect from oreganos.

This place was great! We were referred by some friends to try it and so glad that we did. We went on a Friday night so there was about a 45 minute wait. Luckily for us, their waiting area was more like an outdoor lounge. We were able grab a drink at the bar and sit outside while we waited for our table. The wait actually went by pretty fast as we didn’t even get to finish our drink before being seated.
The waiter was great and super helpful. We got the antipasto salad to start, it was HUGE. We felt like we ate so much of it and it barely made a dent! Since we both like different pizzas, we were able to get half of each kind and they were both fabulous. We had the bbq chicken and the meat trio. Delish! We will definitely be back when we return to the Scottsdale area!

Guuuuud stuff. Best flat pies, awesome service, hot chocolate cookie for dessert. Delish! Salads are unreal. Their pizzas are never greasy or heavy.
Wont kill your carb count for the day.
A Scottsdale must stop! I do everytime im in town. Nice heated patio in the winter

Consistently good food. Not a bad thing on the menu. Two words BOOM DIP!!! Stuffed pizza or thin crust. Both work perfectly. If you like wings, get the medium or golden. Either is an amazing experience. For those that like an adult beverage, go for the Bellini. For the finale save room for the pizza cookie. Holy yum.
Enjoy!

What a great place! The wait can be a little crazy, but the food is delicious, the service is always great and the atmosphere is adorable!
It’s a really neat setup — huge outdoor patio with seating and bar, plus waiting area. Then a building with a smaller, cozier indoor seating section. There are tons of neat, old-​timey decorations, including old movie/​ad posters. The colors are mostly red and green, and it all comes together nicely in every Oregano’s, including this one.
We ordered an 18″ thin crust Sproccolli, which lasted for two meals for us. The crust is super thin and the ingredients are spread over it lighty. The flavors are wonderful — just a little sauce, cheese, topping, garlic, etc. — making each bite light and tasty, but still filling. It’s pretty delicious cold, too. Can’t wait to try the thicker pizza, too!
The service has always been really outstanding, in my experience. I joke that, at Oregano’s, they always treat you like they just found out you’re Unilocal Elite (even though I’ve been coming here since before I learned about Unilocal).
