La Piazza Al Forno Glendale Arizona

March 6, 2014

This place was featured on Diners  Drive-ins and Dives years ago, so it has been on my list of places to visit for a while. This is also close to Haus Murphy's which was also shown on Diners  Drive-ins and Dives and is also a great place. After our first spring training game of the year at the Brewers Stadium which was not far away we were hungry for pizza. We walked in and were told to sit wherever we would like and shortly after our waitress came to take our drink orders we all three ordered Cokes.

 

She returned with three glasses of ice and three glass bottles of Coke on the back of the bottles said from Mexico. Not long after we were ready to order dad and I were thinking about getting two pizzas and splitting them but I mostly just wanted pepperoni and dad want to try the sausage the waitress told him he could do half-and-half pizzas too.

 

So my mom got the margarita pizza without anything added.  I did that too, but added pepperoni

 

 

and dad did the margarita with half pepperoni and half sausage which was a great idea except for they don’t tell you that you pay for the whole price for the pepperoni on the whole pizza and the whole price for sausage even though the topping was only on half the pizza.

So after ordering we waited a bit, but really not too long since they cook their pizzas at such a high temperature. So in just a little amount of time we had our pizzas.

 

This was a very good pizza I only actually only ended up eating the pepperoni but it was really good.  It didn't quite make it to the top of my pizza list, but it was still up there. Everything on it; the sauce cheese and pepperoni were all good and there was a perfect amount of basil not too much like I’ve had elsewhere. The only part I didn't particularly like was the crust where you hold on to was a little thicker than I like, but maybe it's how it's supposed to be for Neapolitan pizza. Mom really enjoyed hers and dad wasn't sure if his sausage or pepperoni was better. Just as we were finishing up our waitress took my dad's unfinished plate which he wasn't exactly happy with, but at least he still had the rest of his pizza in his hand. Soon thereafter we had our check and we paid and were filled with pizza and on our way.
