Too Small of seating space

by dduran

The food and service are great. However, the

space is very crowed and wait time is too long.

Great Pizza

by Bob1975

I am a pizza snob. I love it and can't eat one that's sub-par. But I must say that Oregano's thin crust pizza is fabulous. The sauce is perfect and the crust is baked to perfection. I went there for a friend's birthday and have been a repeat customer ever since.

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: None.

The Best in Gilbert!

by dobin1258

I don't know what to start with, the food, ambience, service, menu! Everything here is top notch. The food in original and fresh to order. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The outside Patio is wonderful with a true Bistro feel. We take family and friends here often and the family style servings are always a great option. Try this restaurant and you will defianately be hooked!

• Pros: Original food, hot and fresh. Clean and friendly. Wonderful Patio!
• Cons: nothing

Awesome!

by gabbyphilbin

This place is great! I know the wait to sit down can be kinda unnerving, but the pizza is just that good! I think that's what makes the wait that much worse, knowing just how great it is and that you have to keep waiting before you can have it! Argh!

Okay food, amazing pizookie

by raquelwood

The wait was really very long, but the service was nice once we sat down. The meal was just ok. The calamari was passable but not good enough to go back for. The pizzokie however, is craveable! Hot and gooey with quality ice cream. Yummy with a capital Y. Worth going back for that alone.

My favorite restaurant in Phoenix!

by emalnati

Oregano's is one of the best restaurants in town. The wait staff is always friendly and the food is fantastic (and reasonable too)! Sometimes it takes awhile to be seated, but it is worth the wait! It is a fun atmosphere and a great experience for out-of-towners. Also, you have to try their pizookie!

• Pros: customer service, food, value...
• Cons: sometimes a long wait or difficult parking (some locations)

not a big fan of their pastas but the pipzza's are good. large portions. and the pizookie (pizza cooking with ice cream) is a must. 2 choices regular choclate chip w/ vanilla ice cream or white chocolate with macadamia nut with vanilla ice cream. every oreganos locations are PACKED at dinner so go early.

• Pros: pizza cookie
• Cons: pastas

Truly Fantastic!

by chesney95

I love this place. The Beefstro Salad is unbelievable! and the Deep Dish Pizzas are worth the wait. I have never had an item at Oregano's that I did not like. For an appetizer, I recommend the Guaca-Tony.

We visit as often as possible.

• Pros: Great Atmosphere, Great Food
• Cons: Limited Parking, Long Waits

OBSESSED

by defyinggravity05

Ok so I might be slightly biased, but I went to high school about four blocks from Oregano's and literally came here 3-5 times a week for lunch/dinner. It is the most fun restaurant I have ever been to... Granted, I know all of the waiters and they usually will dish out free drinks or comp a salad or pizzookie, but it is just an awesome, awesome place. The salads are excellent (try ordering the italian chicken on a salad instead of the regular chicken... not on the menu, but reeeeeeeeally good), the pizza is awesome, and the pastas are good (especially Zany Ziti) though perhaps not the best ever created. But great garlic bread, great atmosphere, and an most of all, the pizza cookie (pizzookie) is THE most wonderful thing ever created and ABSOLUTELY worth the necessary trip to the gym following dinner. They have white chocolate macadamia nut and peanut butter chocolate chip now, but classic chocolate chip is unstoppable. It's also nice to get ice cream on the side because then it doesn't smush the cookie... if that bothers you, haha. In any case, it is absolutely incredible and a necessary follow-up to dinner. If you don't want to wait, the best thing to do is eat at a semi-awkward time... particularly between 2:30pm-4:45pm. Before/after that, expect a decent wait (normally at least 20-30 minutes)... but it is worth it.... And the small size maintains the familial atmosphere (you'll understand). Also, it's definitely better for groups of 4 or less.

• Pros: Pizzookies (pizza cookies!) are AMAZING!, amazing staff, incredibly fun restaurant
• Cons: some pastas aren't fantastic (still quite good though... especially Zany Ziti), no rezzies

Garlic breath aside, this local pizza joint draws attention with Italian favorites and lively vibe.

In Short
Oregano's remains one of the hottest spots in town with constant crowds packing in around small tables for plenty of pastas and sandwiches, which are offered in addition to the pizza that comes in the stuffed or thin-crust variety. Save room for the pizzookie, a small pizza-size, gooey cookie served with vanilla ice cream.
