Keep Driving

by ChicagoXplant

Watched service and quality degrade over years. Nebraska fan hang out? Not a bad place but the location further west on Warner offers better food, new items, faster service, and a real parking lot.

used to be GREAT!

by bestfiddler

Years ago this was THE pizza to beat...I think they changed from their origanal dough.

in the past few years it has been a dissapointment. Maybe new owners? It's still good, just not even close to what it once was.

Lousy Service and Pizza

by bimmer13

My family went to Nellos on Sunday night, and recieved the worst service and it was compounded by undercooked pizza. After being seated, a 10 minute delay for greetings from our server.

I then ordered all of our drinks and food.

The drinks arrived 13 minutes later, and salad and garlic bread 10 minutes after that.

The undercooked pizza arrived 19 minutes after that, 52 minutes for a large thin crust pizza was too long.

The bottom of the crust was not crunchy, it was soft and watery.

We asked the waitress to fix it, and 13 more minutes later, it was almost burnt on top, and the bottom was not much better than before.

If there was a manager on duty to complain to, she was too busy eating behind the bar to worry about customers.

• Pros: Usually good
• Cons: service and crust

Fabulous crust, more food than you think

by jdavid17

We got take-home from Nello's and had not been there before, so we ordered based on our experience with other Pizza restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised at the large portions. The crust was as good as any we've had, and the ingredients were exceptional as well.

The pan pizzas are DEEP.

Not as good as it used to be

by karensep

I started going to Nello's when it was at their origingal location on the SW corner of Southern & McClintock, catty-corner from their present Tempe location. Nello's USED to be my favorite pizza for many years. When my friends visit from Cal, Nello's was a mandatory stop. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. The pizza just isn't as good as it used to be. I think there are others that feel the same because it is not nearly as crowded as it used to be. We are looking for a new favorite pizza place. We won't be going back to Nello's.

Only for Arizona, Nello's serves up pizza pies with extra pizzazz.

In Short
This small Arizona chain, with locations in Tempe, Mesa, Scottdale and Phoenix waves its motto "In Crust We Trust." Try one of the gourmet pizzas like the Popeye, with large chunks of sauteed fish, spinach and garlic, mozzarella and romano cheese and served with lemon wedges. Or, meander through a variety of appetizers, salads and sandwiches for a casually upscale Italian feast.

The Best Pizza in the Valley

by fall2005

Having been an employee with Nello's in the past, I have to highly recommend that everyone eat there . Almost everything on the menu is homemade and not to mention you get a lot of food for your money.The owners are wonderful and make you feel right at home. The great thing is , is how clean the place is which is very important in choosing a restaurant to dine at frequently.

I do have to say that the service has really gone downhill the past 2 years, but hopefully they will get enough constructive criticism and theywill get back to what it once was. We have always said its the Best Pizza in the Valley

• Pros: tasty, clean!!!, great menu
• Cons: service needs help

Horrible Pizza

by jaimenjoel

Wow that was the worst pizza I have ever had! I think the cardboard pizza box would have tasted better. There was NO flavor in any of the pizza's we tried, Mt. Veggie and Pepperoni. I serriosly have never bought something and just throw it away, but lastnight we did. I am amazed at how many people say this is the best pizza in Phoenix, what a sad thing to say. We might have to move away from Phoenix if this is really the best it has to offer. Poor service too, I sat on the phone for 15 minutes to order and then the staff was just down right rude! Not a keeper at all! Go buy Pizza Hut if you want pizza in Phoenix you will be more satisfied with you meal.

• Pros: none, none, none
• Cons: bad food, bad service, bad parking

Norfolks comments?

by bingham

This pizza is by far one of the best pies around... this is a professional opinion that has has tasted pizza from all over the country and has personally worked in a mom n' pop resturant for about 6 years (far, far away) and more importantly is not based on a single dinning expericence. The service, atmosphere and over all quality is great- TRY IT! YOU WON'T BE LET DOWN

Nello's

by onlyforkc

I do NOT recommend this pizza at all. It was by far the worst, most bland pizza I have ever had in my life! Everybody else I was with agreed with me. I have heard that the other items on the menu were ok, however I will never return after such a bad experience.
