Los Olivos

Pizza was just OK. I thought it was a little pricey for what I got. In fairness to the business, I had about a 25 minute drive home after I picked it up. Might have been better if I’d eaten it fresh out of the oven. Also, I think there are probably better pizzas on the menu than the one I ordered. Next time I’ll try the one that several other reviewers have raved about, and I’ll eat it there.

I’ve been ordering the Mexicana pizza for take-​out for the last couple years. It’s my favorite specialty pizza. Some of the others are incredibly spicy. The Mexicana pizza includes pinto beans, ham, chorizo, and two kinds of peppers. I highly recommend it for a great potluck addition. It’s pretty incredible.

I took the advice of the Unilocal reviewers while in Tucson for the fair. I almost passed it even with my GPS but I’m glad I didn’t!!! This pizza place definitely earned the 4.5 stars at the time of this Unilocal Find. At first sight walking up I was a tad hesitant but everything you love about eating pizza was worth driving out here from the Pima county fair. From the tasty Flavorful cheese to their choice of pepperoni. I ordered an artichoke and pepperoni and my son ordered just pepperoni… so tasty for something so simple. Crispy crust delicious sauce and just 2 thumbs up from a fat man that loves food!!! Oh and the price you can’t beat it!!!

Tucson (Menlo Park) best kept secret for great tasting pizza. The owner is a genuinely great guy. The ingredients were fresh, the dough is crispy and light. I had the Olivos Pizza and it was wonderful and full of flavor. A great find!

I love this place! I get a 16″ and eat the leftovers for days! Prices are great. It’s a one-​man show and the owner/​pizza maker is super nice. I get the los olivos. My parents visited and my mom got an Italian sub she said was very good. Happy there is a good pizza place close to my house.

Best pizza in Tucson. The crust is crisp, the cheese is tasty and the price is right.

Amazing! Best pizza! Loved all three… mexicana, three mushroom, and chicken ricotta!

Stopped by on the way home and decided to eat in this time. OMG, it is so fantastic HOT out of the oven (Los Olivos Special) vs. «real good» taking it home. It IS just a tiny little place with 3 tables inside and a patio outside, but the chef is so friendly, so is whoever works the counter. So grab a soda and sit and visit and wait for heaven.

Very good pizza place! Family owned and operated! A little hole in the wall but great!

Great little hole in the wall but the pizza and their calzones are so worth the price. La Mexicana is a great combination of flavors… got to try it! Five dollars pizza better here than anywhere else! Support local small business, you will be glad you did.

Llegamos aquí gracias a Unilocal,nos atendió Walter, quien es el dueño del restaurant quien nos explicó todo el menú, muy paciente y amigable, pero sin duda lo mejor es el delicioso sabor de la pizzaaaa. Nos decidimos por la pizza de los Olivos, los ingredientes super frescos y abundantes, preparada artesanalmente lo que se refleja en el increíble sabor.
Realmente es una calidad muy superior para el precio, con gusto pagaría más por ella.

Holy WOW! This is the best pizza I’ve had in Arizona! Seriously people, you need to try this place! I’ve had authentic New York Pizza, authentic Chicago pizza, etc. Etc. This pizza should be named Arizona’s Pizza! The sauce is super fresh a little spicy, the ingredients are placed generously and with care! The owner is serious about his food but smiles and is warm and friendly! Get over here and spend some dollars supporting this wonderful local restaurant!!! I promise you won’t be sorry. Eat well, play hard and enjoy!

Great pizza! One of the best in town. Always super fast on my pick up orders. I never have to wait.

When they first opened we were very pleased with their delicious pizza. It was just perfect crispy crust, perfect amount of sauce, and cheese. Unfortunately these last few times of ordering from there the dough seems under cooked or maybe it’s to much sauce but it is soggy and flops over if you try to hold it. Lately it’s been a big soggy mess. Kind of dissapointed. Hopefully they will go back to their old recipe and then I can increase the rating.

I rarely get on here for reviews, mostly recommendations. But I really wanted to do a little more for this restaurant. I stumbled onto it while me and my wife were deciding on a place for dinner and it looked pretty tasty, so we called in a Los Olivos 18″ pizza (which was very reasonably priced at 12.95, and each additional topping is cheap as well, 1.50 for whatever is added). Traffic prevented us from getting there super quickly but both on the phone and in person they were friendly and accommodating. Suffice it to say, when we got to it, we ate all but two pieces. Give this place a try, I would without hesitation say it’s one of the best pizzaraunts in town.

Los Olivos has found a great way to put together delicious pizza, authentic or not. The La Mexicana is a brilliant combination, bulging with chorizo, bacon, jalapenos and a sprinkle of beans. It is definitely on the heavy/​greesie side, but that’s kind of a given. And something I’m ok with once in a while. The Los Olivos and the grilled chicken ricotta and wings are great too!
The service is friendly. The prices are pretty fair.
The dining area is pretty small, so it’s more of a pick up restaurant. The patio is nice if you want to eat your meal there.

Delicious pizza! We had the chicken, ricotta and basil pizza, as well as the Caesar salad. Fantastic pizza and great salad dressing.

Omg this little gem! Where has it been all my life & why did I just now try it tonight? Best pizza I’ve had in a really long time! I don’t think anyone else compares. Not brooklyns, not empire, not any other decent pizza place compares. The sauce, the cheese, the multiple array of toppings, it’s all perfection. Even the fact that it’s in a tiny building makes it perfect. And the price! $ 7.00 with tax for a two topping, cannot beat that! $ 5.50 for a one topping, fresh out of the oven, made to order, not waiting in a hot box pizza. I mean come on, this place is what dreams are made of. A must try! They also have subs, salads, and other Italian entrees. Trying those next time

This place is a little bit of «a hole in the wall», but the food is fantastic! We had the Los Olivos pizza and the La Mexicana… both awesome. The owner was super friendly and helpful. Food came out fast and was very reasonably priced. I wish we lived closer so we could eat here more often, but now we know where to stop when we are in the neighborhood. Yum!

Monsoon weather w/​pizza & wings on the patio. This has to be one of the best little pizzerias in town, hands down. Everything is «FRESH» All the way down to the freshly grated Parmesan cheese they provide. This little gem is super-​friendly and amazingly priced. First time here & definitely not the last.

Oh yes, this is the spot for fantastic authentic pizzas! This place may be small but it is mighty… mighty awesome!
We had 7 of their pizza options (on 26 pizzas) at our party and even though we had other options the Los Olivos pizzas were all that was eaten!
The veggies on the Vegetaria pizza are roasted in house daily– and it’s not just your normal onion-​tomato-​mushroom-​pepper business; there are artichoke hearts and eggplant and so many other wonderful flavor and textures.
For all the fresh ingredients the cost is completely reasonable (downright inexpensive!) — $ 8.95 for a 14″ pizza loaded with yummy toppings.
The crust is thinner– in a more traditional Italian style, but even my guests that will always order a deep dish pizza thoroughly enjoyed this crust. The red sauce was tangy and satisfying to where the toppings weren’t a necessity.
The Charcuterie is what most places call a meat lovers and I was lovin’ me some meat! I love what the Capicola adds that is so much more than just your usual ham-​bacon-​sausage.
The dining room is small (3 tables) so this is really a take out spot, which is fine by us.
