Now, a word of warning--every once in a while I'll get a review from someone who has a specific agenda in mind. A really bad review might be from a disgruntled employee. A really good review might be from the owner or manager. Unless I specifically mention that I have edited a review for some reason, you see the comments posted here exactly as I received them.

Have been there 3 times. The first when they opened was wonderful.The second time was a few months later. Had spaghetti and meatballs and the meatballs were horribly freezer burnt. Third time several months later for the white pizza. Ordered the large. There was a border on the pizza that was 2 to 3 inches deep with no toppings at all. It was a Sunday and the chef was into the football game. Maybe he put small pizza toppings on the large pizza out of confusion with the game. When asked about it, the chef became defensive telling us how other customers liked it. From the ratings that's true. The pizza was good. Just didn't like ordering a large pizza a getting small pizza toppings.

This is truly one of the best Neapolitan style wood fired pizzas you could ever hope for. Justin and his family completely "Get It" when it comes to Wonderful and delicious food. [link deleted by About.com Phoenix Guide]

Having been born and raised in New York and residing in Chicago during my professional career, it is hard to get excited about La Piazza Al Forno's pizza. It is brick oven pizza that has a very thin crackerlike crust. Not much of a pizza for the price. Not my cup of tea. I understand the entrees are pretty good.

We were antiquing in Glendale, just happened to see the restaurant and went in. It was the best pizza I can remember having. The sauce was perfectly spiced, not too much cheese and sauce and lots of meat. We ordered the Italian Stallion. We will make it a point to drive to Glendale from Mesa to eat there again and again. Simply delicious!

Good fresh ingredients and positive attitude make this a great place for standard Italian food.

Saw "Diners Drive-ins and Dives" on 04-27-09, featuring La Piazza, ate there on 04-28-09, took leftovers to work on 04-29-09. I am going back today for lucn. Absolutely wonderful. I didnt know it was there, lived in the area my whole life, but it is definitely the BEST pizza I have ever had.

We went to La Piazza on night one because it was close to our hotel--fantastic food. We went back on night 2 because of Justin and his wife--the place was closing but they said they wouldn't turn us away--again the food was fantastic. We live in Tucson but will make special trips to Glendale for La Piazza! There is no better pizza, and I am a frequent New York City and Chicago visitor.

Awesome awesome place. We discovered this hidden gem last year during Glendale Glitters. The pizza is totally to die for with the fresh ingredients..I highly recommend The Mediteranian. Guarantee you will never order Dominos or go to Olive Garden ever again. I have never ordered anything that wasn't just the greatest. Nice and fresh Italian food. The staff are so very friendly and highly appreciative of their customers.

This kitchen rocks! Pizza the way it should be - light and full of fresh authentic ingredients. The place is a little small and it can get a little warm if you sit near the over (no problem in the cooler months). This is the real deal - ma and pa italian at its best. If you read this review...please keep it a secret! I want to get a table when I roll in.... Not only pizza but the calamari is about as good as it gets! If you live in the west valley or the northwest for that matter, you can't beat it! If you live in other parts of the valley, lower your nose and head out to the this side of town. You'll be glad you did.
