I didn't know what Chicago deep dish pizza was til I tried Lou's

The pizza was so good, I brought the extra slices on my flight home for my dad to try.

In California, Deep Dish Pizza is 1/2 to 2/3 tomatoes. I like how even the ingredients are here,…More »

Amazing Pizza - worth the wait in line - probably the best pie I had while visiting NY

I wish we could duplicate this kind of quality in California

This is the problem with some yelpers. Napoli's is a great local neighborhood pizzeria. But some people expect every eatery to be the best they've ever been to.

Pizza: Very good. Tasty cheese, zesty sauce and crispy crust. I think this is easily the…More »

Great Pizza - I haven't had anything from tehre that wasn't.

Their Margarita is delicious-  just make sure its hot - we sat outside last time and I think the waiter got lost on when our pizza came out and it was not very warm - but I don't put that…More »

I hate that when I visit Scottsdale, I have two pizza places I HAVE to go to in a mile radius - Oregano's and here

I went to the original in Brooklyn, and I must say I am very impressed with how similar the pizza is in AZ and Brooklyn - you wouldn't…More »

Another one of my Scottsdale stops-I try to come here every time

I am not impressed with their pasta, but the pizza, salad, wings and sandwiches are all awesome.

Very good pizza - while its not as great as TRUE Chicago Pizza, its about as good as you can get in California

If you want thin pizza, I suggest going elsewhere.

I love Mary's always great food - the pizza, pasta, bread sticks - all delicious

One of my favorite local pizza places I know of. We used to go here after my baseball games played in Vallejo. Cool old time feel, one of the last true pizza parlors around, where eating it there is ten times better than picking it up or delivery.

A very nice pizza spot

I was reluctant when my friends brought me here, but its very good tasting pizza, and reasonably priced.

It has a couple nice TVs and some good beer. If my friend still lived in the area, I'm sure I would go back more often.More »

I enjoy both this and the Walnut Creek location. They have great pizza and salad, but My favorite is the chicken Parmesan! So tasty

It is probably the best chain Italian food I have ever had

Nice pizza place- best to eat it there, doesn't hold up well for take out/delivery

Nice lunch special with a slice and a salad

Not best if you like thin crush pizza

Very solid pizza/pasta joint

The pizza is top notch, although they serve it a little dry sauce wise. Me and my friends typically order it extra sauce, and well done, so the extra sauce doesn't kill cripyness

The pasta I have only had ones, but is…More »
