Best Pizza Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona, 2021 - Eater Phoenix
"At his comfortable Italian restaurant in downtown Glendale, Justin Piazza makes three kinds of pizza: Neapolitan-style, Roman-style and New York-style. It’s a lot to pull off. His 12-inch Neapolitan pies take up the most real estate on the menu (13 pies in all, including many classics such as the margherita), and Piazza prepares them according to AVPN regs, using OO flour, San Marzano tomatoes, and a blazing wood-fired oven. His square Roman-style pies, light and airy thanks to high hydration (think 80 percent water), have become just as popular. Consider the amatriciana, a riff on the pasta dish of the same name, topped with bacon, onion, tomato, black pepper and pecorino. Roman-style pies are available until the kitchen runs out of dough, so plan accordingly. If only New York pizza will do, call ahead to make sure it’s available." - Nikki Buchanan, Chris Malloy
