Food was good not great. Loved the set up with the dogs and love supporting. Service was not good and we were there early. We had 6 of us and automatic 20% tip added. That would explain the ok service. Took 25 minutes after I ordered a drink. Really didnt check back and we ordered Happy Hour and a cheese pizza is full price but a Margarita pizza is happy hour and pepperoni. Next time I will order pepperoni hold the pepperoni. Please have better servers that care about the customers. When you automatically add the 20% it always seems the service is not as good.
Well, i have to give this experience i had today a 5 stars. Great atmosphere, very clean and comfortable. Service was great. Very friendly and chatted with multiple staff. This place has been on my radar for some time and i was in Arcadia today and saw it and pulled in. So glad i did. As soon as i walked in and saw the wood fired oven i knew i was in the right place. I always try a margarita when i try a new spot but i saw the cooler with the sausage they make in house and had to switch it up. Scratch kitchen and you could taste it! I ordered a margarita but added sausage and pepperoni to half. Pizza dough was cooked perfectly. Great flavor and a nice chew with the right amount of char and airiness. Too many places these days burn the bottom. I could taste the fresh mozzarella and the sauce was the right amount of savory and sweet. Sausage was great and the pepperoni were the cup n char which i love. The only thing i didn’t love was they use basil oil instead of fresh basil which is a necessity on a true margarita. I just got some on the side and added it myself. I would have given a 4 star review but added an extra star for what they do for the puppies! 25% of all proceeds go to the puppy rescue. I believe they have the puppies there certain nights to adopt!!!! I will absolutely be back!!!
My only comment is that the music sent us into a bit of a daze. But the pizookie was good and the pizza was good. We got a pizza where you had to add mozzarella which was interesting. The pizza was enough to fill 3 people. The pizookei was also splendid and the ice cream on top was also good. It’s great to know that our money goes to a good cause as well. Went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was great. No wait.
One of my go to spots in Phoenix! The owner is super sweet and makes us and our pups feel very welcome every time we visit. Every time I dine with friends I recommend the margarita pizza and the spicy rigatoni pasta with a side of meatballs. AND DON’T FORGET TO LEAVE SPACE FOR THE PAW-ZOOKIE! 🥰
We were hungry for pizza and decided to give this place a try based on reviews. We got seated right away and had a waiter immediately. I ordered a pizza, and she got pasta based on the servers' suggestion. The pizza is a thin crust, crunchy on the outside but soft in the center, very, very good. The spicy rigatoni was absolutely amazing! Very rich and good flavor!! The atmosphere is great. They have bar seating, small tables around the bar, tables off to the side, and an outdoor covered seating with misters. One of our favorite parts is they donate a part of their proceeds to the dog rescue right behind them! The outside seating area is dog friendly.
