Best Pizza Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Call it nostalgia or hometown bias, but for many who grew up in the Valley, Barro’s was the go-to spot for parties, sports nights, and family gatherings. While Barro’s touts a non-deep-dish Chicago style, what it really offers might be the most quintessentially Phoenix pizza outside the neo-Neapolitan wave. The pillowy yet dense crust sits somewhere between New York and tavern styles, while the red sauce stays balanced — its sweetness offset by a bit of tang. Skip everything else on the menu and stick to the pizza: The original crust Barro’s Special arrives piled with toppings like pepperoni, ham, mushroom, green pepper, and caramelized onion. It might not be the city’s single best pie, but when Barro’s is on, it’s a homegrown favorite that feels as Phoenix as it gets." - McConnell Quinn
