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.

Magnificent!!!! I was just in Italy in February and this is every bit as good. I'm from New York originally and never thought I would find as good as that in the Phoenix area but I was totally wrong!!! I'm just glad I live close by.

This is a family restaurant which makes me think I am eating in one of those nice homely places in Italy. The food is super and the pizza seems to be from original recipes from the old country. The food is also complemented by a good selection of wines. Most important, even when the eating experience is very good, the prices for a family is very reasonable.

My husband and I had our Valentines dinner at La Piazza Al Forno in Glendale, AZ tonight. The food was exceptional along with everyone associated with the restaurant. It is so nice to have a restaurant that has such high caliber of food in the area. As my husband told Dennis, Justin and their staff/families, "We no longer have to go to Scottsdale to have a high quality meal". We have been there on other occasions and with friends and have found that what ever we order the food is excellent. Their meals will satisfy vegetarian to meat lovers. Our friends now go there and tell us of their experience of eating at La Piazza Al Forno. The staff Justin Piazza, Rachel Piazza, Dennis Piazza, Anita Piazza and the rest of their family and staff have always been wonderful. They take care of their customers and even go out of their way. Requests from the customers are filled quickly.

Brick fire oven makes for spectactular pizza. Calamari fried perfectly with an awesome marinara, the stuffed shrimp pasta...to die for! I swear! Portions are HUGE! Made to order and the staff is excellent. Did I mention dessert? Unbelieveably delicious. The chocolate canoli was awesome, and their homemade cheesecake rocked! Big chain places have nothing on La Piazza Al Forno! Well Lit, tasteful decor, and nothing looks cheesy unless it's ordered that way. They've got a customer for life in me.

I have been there twice and both times my entree was delicious. This is a family owned restaurant and the owners are friendly and care about their patrons.

La Piazza Al Forno has only been opened a short time I’ve recommended the restaurant to many already and will be there myself many times! The wood fired pizza's are excellent and the Italian food is also wonderful.

The restaurant is new, has only been open for 2 weeks and I have been there 3 times. They serve Italian Food and Pizza cooked in a wood fired oven. The food is excellent and the pizza's are as good as Pizzeria Bianco, except that you won't have to stand in line.
