Oregano’s best pizza in town?

The warm homey feeling that you get when you walk into Oregano’s Pizza Bistro is priceless. The ambiance is so characterized to fit the theme of the mid 1940’s, it holds a refreshing breath taker. Lawrence Gibbilini was the founder of Oregano’s originally in Chicago, he later died in the late 1970’s after his son took over the family business. From then Oregano’s has developed all over Arizona grasping everyone’s attention. Oregano’s pizza provides an assortment of hospitality, the best food for your buck, and a realistic atmosphere of a 1940 Chicago pizza joint. Oregano’s Pizza Bistro summarizes up a family orientated and lively eatery, the atmosphere seems like
The atmosphere of Oregano’s is very grasping to the audience. The lively music playing from Frank Sinatra while you walk in gives you the chills of refreshing jazz music. When you start to walk around you get a sense of a comfortable home feeling that is very cozy. Everything from when you first pull up is related to an old 1940 pizza joint. At the Phoenix location I noticed that they had an outside area to eat that was decorated with lights and little round tables. Even when eating outside they had speakers outside so you can still hear the soulful voices of the jazz musicians. The brick walls that surrounded the building made the place have that much character. To get to your seats you had to pass by a bar that was decorated with old bottles from the early 1900’s. These little details excited me because I appreciated that they took the time to find things that made that much of an impact to observers like myself. Oregano’s had small 12” TV’s scattered all around the development. No, they were not flat screens, or modernized TV’s at that. They were not even made in this century, they were actually in black
Oregano’s uses the freshest ingredients when preparing food. It is said on their menu this disclaimer. I can’t say if that is credible but it sure does taste so. I ordered the chicken penne pasta with marinara sauce that was to die for. The aroma of the oregano and basil filled my nostrils when the waiter sat the plate in front of me. Before I could even place my fork up to take that first bite the waiter asked us if we wanted cheese. My friend declined his offer and the waiter seemed quite offended in a humorous way that made me chuckle. Of course when he asked me I gladly shook my head yes. I think that is when I seen the most beautiful thing ever. He picked up a big cooking spoon and scooped up parmesan cheese from the bucket and placed it over my pasta. In my past experiences at other Italian restaurants they would only give you a little or they will grate the cheese over your plate. The problem with them grating it is that I always want more but I feel like that start getting irritated with me because their arm starts getting tired. So if you ever had this problem Oregano’s is for you! With this order you are able to have refills on your pasta and even able to take one to go. Another plus because usually restaurants want you to just eat it there so they will save on money. The best part I would have to say about the meal was the free pizooki.
