Best Pizza Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"In a city dominated by Neapolitan pizza — and where many attempts at a “New York” slice in Phoenix wind up too greasy or paper-thin — Yo Pauly’s hits the sweet spot, fold and all. The dough, left to ferment for an extra-long length of time, develops a tangy chew, while a gas deck oven imparts crispiness without veering into over-charred territory. The sauce leans savory with a restrained sweetness, and somehow keeps the grease in check. Toppings range from classic pepperoni (Da Midtown Meltdown) to specialty pies nodding to city landmarks, like the Madison Square Garden or Four Boroughs barbecue chicken. Walls draped in Big Apple memorabilia and a menu echoing corner slice shops give Yo Pauly’s an unmistakable East Coast vibe — one that feels surprisingly at home in the desert." - McConnell Quinn
