Fresco Pizzeria & Pastaria

Great pizza! I built my own ham and pineapple pizza. Plenty of nice thin slices of ham and plenty of pineapple. I think, but not sure, they may make their own pizza sauce as it was delicious! Hubby had the crowd pleaser again another winner!! Nice chunks of sausage and mushrooms and thinly slices green pepper and black olives! We will visit again!!

The employee who answered the phone & the delivery driver were friendly. I really like that they have in-house delivery drivers! I've seen this place 1000 times but never tried it until now. I admittedly always assumed it was some health nut kinda place, but it really was just a good ol' classic, perfectly (not overly) greasy pie! A hungry man can get two BIG meals or three moderate meals from a medium. (Nice, thick & hearty crust!) The only thing is that it gets pretty soggy from those heat preserving bags they transport the pizza in. Don't be shy! Set that thang on your front seat and vent it for me real quick at stoplights! 'xD I'd rather it arrive warm or room temp even than piping hot & soggy. Oh, and the crowd pleaser had a little too many of those thick mushrooms for my taste. And olives lol. Toppings were fine otherwise. Great sausage!

Our first time at Frescos. The food was so good. Best Cesar salad that I've ever had. They make the dressing and croutons in house so I had to buy a pint of each. My husband said the pizza is in his top 10 of best pizzas he's ever had.

Excellent Italian food, pizza, and big, beautiful salads. Always choose the roasted veggies for your side option. The service is warm and friendly. The spacious dining area is well-lit, clean, casual, and comfortable. Try the meat lasagna! Take home some tiramisu!

I have been a long time customer who has ordered for delivery 1-2 pizzas a month since 2020. Their rewards program was fantastic and I never had any issues. They recently switched to a new order management software system called HungerRush and since then the experience has been less than idea. The online order form is not as intuitive and the rewards system vanished. Their email promotion campaigns are lame and overall we are so disappointed we have switched to another place for our pizza needs.

Honestly im sure there lots of people who love this place. But i just feel like it was not good at all i ordered a pizza just plain pepperoni. It took 40 minutes to come out and we were the only people inside. And when i got it and picked up a slice the everything just feel off of it. The dough wasnt cooked all the way the bottom of the pizza was soggy and nasty definitely not coming back. Not to mention how extremely greasy it was. Its worse then ive had before.

Updating to 6 stars; came back and had pizza well done. Very good pasta. Had stuffed shells with pesto sauce, "crowd-pleaser" pizza, and flourless chocolate cake. Pizza had good flavor and the choco cake was very good. If ordering a pizza with several toppings, consider asking to make it well done or the crust in the middle may be underdone. Holding back 1 star as this was the case with my pizza. Nonetheless, I am definitely coming back here again. Update: Happy to share that the food is still the same - pizza well done is still excellent.

This was our first time here. OMG! The half salad was plenty enough. Lasagna was definitely the creamyist and most flavorful that I have ever had in Tucson. The 12" Crowd Pleaser pizza was fantastic. Service was very professional. Would definitely recommend.

Stopped by Fresco Pizzeria and had a great experience! Mileenha was super friendly and welcoming, which made a great first impression. I ordered a personal pizza with pepperoni and black olives -- it was cooked to perfection with plenty of toppings and great flavor in every bite. I also really appreciated being sent a birthday discount email -- such a nice touch that made the visit even better. Overall, great service, tasty pizza, and a spot I'd definitely come back to!

Service was amazing. I think the blonde woman at the front's name was Taylor. Very sweet and understanding. For $25 I did the Sonoran restaurant week menu. I chose, garlic knots, spaghetti and meatballs and tiramisu. I came with a friend who got Cesar salad as the starter, Alfredo and cheesecake. The deal came with a glass of wine! I chose white and my friend red. Both were decent. Olive Garden has more flavor than this. There was zero detectable spice or seasoning in the spaghetti sauce which tastes identical to the marinara that came with the knots. BLAND! Meatball also bland and too much breading. You can see in the picture there are no seasonings in the sauce. I switched out the spaghetti for Alfredo and it was also bland. Dumping salt and Parmesan did not help at ALL. The chicken ($3.50 up charge) was oddly gamey and also had no flavor. Garlic knots terrible. Also very bland and doughy. Could not taste anything but bread and a hint of butter. Tiramisu was an abomination. They have done their own rendition and instead of lady fingers have replaced it with a dense heavy cake. It was very very boozy. Mascarpone wasn't light and airy, it was thick and dense like cheese cake. There are much much better offerings for Sonoran restaurant week and I would not come back. The food is bland and extremely light on any flavor besides tomatoes and undercooked pasta.

Best pizza in southern AZ! Great delivery with pizza still hot! Add their Caesar salad with jerk chicken! Great meal. Then I add a lovely Margarita! Perfect

I placed an order for carry out and it was done well within the quoted time. Everything was packaged up with a lot of care which is appreciated. I was disappointed to see how small the Caesar salad was for $9. However the homemade dressing and croutons definitely elevated the salad. I also got the meatballs ricotta and that dish blew my mind. It's easily one of my new favorite Italian dishes in town. I think the ricotta is homemade, it's so creamy, and the meatballs and sauce are packed with flavor. I loved every bite. I'll be back for that dish for sure.

Oooo this place is dangerously good it'll be hard for me to not get a pizza every week. Plus many vegan options!! I got the vegan veggie pizza 12" and vegan garlic bread. The marina that came with the bread was some of the best I had I had to dip my pizza in it haha and the bread was crispy but not too hard. The pizza was soft and thick (I'm not a thin crust fan so I loved this), and lots of veggies. Everything was $32 pre tip but the pizza was very filling because of the thick dough so this last me almost 3 meals. The only thing I wished was different was the vegan cheese having more flavor (I've eaten a lot of MOD pizza just because I like the dairy free cheese flavor) but that really wasn't an issue I just sprinkled some nutritional yeast on it when I got home and it was perfect. The place was very clean and had good music. We had a group of around 8 and came a little close to closing time without realizing it but the server was very nice about it and the food still came out quick and well done.

Stopped in for a weeknight dinner- place was quiet and a few groups were dining. I had a gluten free pizza and glass of red blend, while my dining companion had a pepperoni Stromboli and lager. It's a casual place where you order at the counter and seat yourselves. Food didn't take too long to arrive, and it was piping hot and gorgeous. Very flavorful- took half my pizza home for tomorrow and I'm looking forward to those leftovers.

A great menu and quality ingredients can be found at Fresco, but the execution could be better. What I liked: A wide variety of doughy goodness to choose from. If you don't want a regular pizza, you can get a Detroit style pie, or even a stromboli! The topping selection is top-notch as well--I opted to get one with red sauce, prosciutto, and arugula, and a tasty caesar salad on the side. What I didn't like: Although the flavors were phenomenal, I just didn't think it was made too well. The crust was way, way too thick at the edges, and the pizza retained too much moisture, so the bottom of every slice was kinda wet. It wasn't everything I'd hoped for, but I do want to try this place again because I think there's some real potential here!

The chicken marsala can be really good... when it's made correctly. I've ordered it for takeout many times and there's about a 50/50 chance of the mushrooms being left out of the dish. Last night's order was missing the mushrooms and the marsala sauce was way different from how it usually is. The sauce was really light and just didn't have that delicious marsala flavor. Feels like a ripoff for $22. For the chicken, it seems like they use bromelain or some other meat tenderizer on it. It's good when the food is fresh, but things start to get weird if you have leftovers.

As a native New Yorker and Brooklynite, that has easily eaten his weight in pizza, Fresco Pizzaria served up The Finest Ive ever had. The crust had a thin crisp shell, and an almost impossibly weightless body that every pizza maker strives for. We ordered toppings of anchovie, red onion and mushrooms. They're using spoon sized cubes of portobello to retain the natural flavor and cooked to perfection. Service was 2nd to none. Perfect ambience. If I could give this place six stars I would. Bon apetit!

Stopped by for a quick lunch after a movie at the Loft theater. Pretty casual place with fresh pasta and pizza dishes. You order at the counter before grabbing a table. All of the staff was very nice and service was fast. Some of the pasta is made in house. I ordered a 1/2 portion house salad. It's an enormous dish with fresh salad; I got it with ranch dressing which was served on the side. Just amazing. Beef cannelloni is so delicious. The sauce is just perfect flavor, baked with a perfect amount of cheese on top. Their roasted veggies are absolutely delicious. I don't know how I never knew about this place. The server said they have been open for about 10 years. Will definitely go back to try their pizza

Good food, quiet atmosphere, decent amount of seating. You order at the front and if dining in they bring it to you and you dont see the server again which is fine. Parking can be a little tight.

Popped in on 1/31/24 to grab one of their meatball subs with a friend (after boosting their expectations for it) and was treated to disappointing surprise. While Fresco's prices have inched up over the past year (twice I think) that is largely to be expected during an 8+ percent inflation rate. But the disappointment was multi-fold. The sub roll shrank by 2 inches (not sure how they can call it a footlong anymore). The bread was also less chewy and less crunchy, despite being baked (a necessity for any real meatball sub). And... because the roll shrank there was only room for 5! meatballs (see pic). For years we've enjoyed a true footlong with six large meatballs but now it's not even 10" and $15. Ugh... et tu Fresco?? The sauce/cheese/seasonings are all still great. Bring back "the original" Matt!

Wow, delicious food!!! I'm in town visiting and a local friend and I decided to try this place out. He loved his lasagna and said the tomato sauce was excellent!! I had the chicken masala over fettuccine in a cream sauce. It had chunks of mushrooms. Absolutely delicious!!!! I'm hoping to have the opportunity to eat there again before I leave town. This place deserves 5 stars!!!

I've been to Fresco a couple of times before and the pizza was ok. Some friends wanted to eat there tonight and the pizza was fantastic. I ordered the white pizza and the toppings were artichoke, roasted garlic , prosciutto and lots of cheese. The crust was crisp and soft with plenty of toppings. Service was great and they checked on us several times. It was busy for Sunday night. It was so good I went back the next day and ordered to sane pizza to go.

Best pizza I've had in a long time. Arrived at our hotel hot and tasty. Great sauce. Highly recommend this place.

The calzone was great! Would suggest that one calzone is just enough for one person... I mean, two can enjoy it, but you'll go through one by yourself easily.

great food! good service. One of our go-tos. Keep up the great work. Highly recommended.

Excellent service, salad and pizza! We had great service, a chill environment, and sundried tomatoe vinagret which I will never forget! Better than Mod, Mama's, we will return.

Dang, this is good pizza. These folks always come through with delicious pies, and they deliver to most of the city. Awesome beer selection and great atmosphere for dine in. Try the Detroit Style if you're into that kinda thing!

Fresco is my favorite place to order delivery from. The food is always delicious and delivery is fast. The Brussels sprouts and bacon is my favorite side.

Tasty n plentiful salad.. share a large relaxed place ..Pizza is good crust Easy, but not thrilled with standing at front to order... ‍

The pasta wasn't cooked. It was horrible. So disappointing. And we actually ordered linguine pasta but we were given penne pasta instead.

Food was good ,the cap tear salad needs a little work fresher mozzarella, wings were good ,garlic knots were tasty and pizza was good

I was craving something and ordered but y'all got my order wrong lol. Hopefully next time I come in, and I'm craving a Calzone, yall will provide me with the correct order. Either way, this is a chill local spot.

AMAZING customer service!!! I ordered the 10inch jerk chicken and sausage. It was delicious the crust had an extra crunch but also had a great chew to it. The jerk chicken had a beautiful essence of jerk spices and had a nice punch to it. I also ordered the antipasto salad and that was a meal in itself! Huge pepperoni nice smoked ham and I added some extra jerk chicken. The place is a chill spot playing some classic rock some blues. Love the atmosphere of this place.

We consistently have had good meals at this restaurant. Tonight was no exception. The pizza toppings are always generous, fresh, and not overcooked so you can actually taste each ingredient. We shared a salad that is also generous in size with crispy ingredients and a yummy house dressing. Although we usually do takeout, I have dined in and service is always efficient and friendly. The interior is clean and bright and comfortable. My daughter loves several of their pasta dishes. Fresco is on our favorites list of frequently visited restaurants. There's enough variety to visit multiple times.

Good Pizza and salad This place has great salads and meatball sandwiches! Pizza was good do was the Chicken piccata is yummy too!

This place is AMAZING! That is all! Every dish! Cooked to perfection everytime my family and I come. Seriously have to try not to eat here everytime we go out, it's that good. And portions are large! Always have left overs! And they have gluten free options! Pizza and pasta! And it tastes as good as regular gluten items! My husband gets gluten free too, and he's not even allergic! Just amazing in all the ways!

Great and yummy food! We had the linguini scampi and crowd-pleaser pizza. We can't wait to come back!

What an awesome little thing I stumbled upon! Their pizza is great and their Detroit crust is also really worth a try. I think they have slices but I got a to go pizza last time it was worth it! I think what really makes it is the crust, at least it is for me!

Clean, counter service with ample seating area. Service yourself fountain drinks. Friendly staff. We ordered cheesy bread, pepperoni pizza and a meat lasagna that came with roasted vegetables or garlic bread. The orders were all brought to the table at the same time, I didn't specify that we wanted the cheesy bread as an appetizer. The pizza was good, plenty of pepperoni. The cheesy bread was covered in mozzarella, ooy gooy. The lasagna was made with Italian sausage and was ok. Very saucy and I dipped cheesy bread in. Wasn't crazy about the sauce and just too much for the amount of pasta. The roasted vegetables was a huge portion. Some veggies were well cooked others tossed in as an afterthought. Good pizza, the rest was just ok.

Fresco used to be the place we ordered calzones from. Now it's not. Ordered three calzones for a family treat and sat down to eat. The deli paper was stuck to the top of the calzone because the cheese grease pooled on top. The calzones were supposed to be four cheese but there wasn't any ricotta to be found. The typically sliced mushrooms were halves of crimini mushrooms leaving awkward chunks in the filling with a few slices of pepperoni stuck to the bottom of the crust. For the cost of the calzones, I expect a better meal. I'm so disappointed that they altered the recipe-I am saddened I won't be ordering calzones from here anymore. If they touch the sun dried tomato vinaigrette-I'm done.

Visiting from from Las Vegas we are accustomed to pizza being delivered to our front door 24 hours a day. Unfortunately neither myself or my husband want to pay a $10 service fee because we can't get our lazy butt up and go get pizza that's 3 miles away. We called about 10 locations that were within a 5 mile radius of us and 99% of them only deliver though postmates or grubhub. Finally, when we were about to give up on pizza altogether we happened upon Fresco Pizzeria. There was a minimum charge for purchase to have them deliver to us but isn't it better to have $10 more of food than pay it in a service fee? I choose food...every time. I believe I spoke to Nick, he was very friendly and understanding. I grumbled about my delivery complaints and he explained how they only do their own deliveries. Sweet! We ordered The White Pie and garlic bread with pesto and mozzarella. The food arrived quickly, about 45 minutes later, and the delivery driver was so very nice. Really, this place hires some great people. Once inside I couldn't wait to open the boxes. They were still perfectly warm and the cheese was still gooey and perfect. (See pictures) I quickly grabbed a pic (of course) then a slice and my knees almost buckled from the deliciousness. You can really taste that everything is made fresh and from scratch. The White pie has EVOO, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, prosciutto, Parmesan, garlic, and herbs. It is the perfect pizza pie for those wanting to take a break from the red sauce. It was not dry and the crust was even delicious. The next amazing thing was the garlic bread which we added pesto and mozzarella to. If you have a chance, and you're a cheesy pesto fan, do this! The combination of garlic, pesto, butter, and gooey cheesy goodness was almost too much to take. When we were done we were already looking forward to our next trip to try some more items of the Fresco Pizzeria menu! Just writing this review I'm wondering what my minimum order is to have them deliver to Las Vegas... Maybe it's time you expanded Fresco! If you're on the fence about a place to try, this place is the one. No fancy gimmicks just great fresh traditional Italian food. Now I'm hungry.

Received my order faster than expected, delivery driver was very nice, and food was great!

The pizza was average slightly doughy undercooked taste. Service was good and fast. I wouldn't go back.

After seeing a review and photos of the garlic bread and salad from FP on my "Keep Local Alive- Tucson" group on Facebook, I knew that I had to check it out. We ordered two Caesar Salads and Garlic Bread online and then I picked it up in-store. The gal that helped me was really nice, and I loved that they separated the hot from cold items. The food was delicious. The salad lettuce was crisp and fresh. I look forward to going back and checking out more of their menu.

Vegan options!!! I ordered the Margherita Fresco with non dairy cheese added black olives and artichoke and vegan garlic bread. The pizza was delivered piping hot, melt y cheese, so delicious. Definitely recommend. Thanks for including vegan options!!

Great little Pizza place. Crust is great. Clean with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere . Highly recommend it.

Neighborhood pizza standby. Sit-down , togo and deliver options. Hardworking, very capable front of the house and kitchen staff. Multiple pizza sizes. Exciting listed pizza combinations. And the ability to define a pizzas to your specifications. Nice Caesar salad. Most important part of experience. Five people ordered a variety of customized pizzas, salad and soft drinks All items delivered to the tables - exactly like they were ordered.

I am sadly writing this review, I really tried to like the food from Fresco but after trying them 3-4 times I find for me it really misses the mark. Coming from NY it's hard to match the pizza and Italian dishes from there. I did not care for their pizza or sauce. The calzone was good and the large was hugh. The service is great. I am disappointed that when I got a reward from points I obtained on orders it has to be used in a month, it should just remain on your account. For me I also thought the pricing is a bit high, especially on appetizers and salads. I doubt I will try them again.

Yum. I had been to Fresco a few times for pizza and was definitely satisfied (all take away - I've never eaten in). I was craving some fettuccine alfredo and it looked decent online. We ordered that and spaghetti with meatballs. Both were really good overall! Served with your choice of garlic bread or veggies and we got garlic bread, which was also yummy. The fettuccine was perfect, no complaints. The spaghetti and meatballs the sauce didn't really stick to the noodles so I was eating a mouthful of noodles and then a mouthful of sauce. If you look at the price and think "that's a little much," know that the portions are HUGE. We both saved our leftovers for lunch the next day. And it tasted great reheated, too. Would definitely recommend checking it out if you are in the mood for hearty pizza, a good salad or pasta!

My friends and I shared a 12-inch pizza with mushrooms, red onion and prosciutto. It was tasty, but kind of sloppy. You had to eat it with knife and fork, because the slices would fall apart if you tried to pick them up.

One of our favorite pizza places in Tucson. They have several specialty pies but their pepperoni is what I keep going back to. For those with gluten troubles, they have some great gluten-free options, and their GF crust is one of the better ones I've tried. Regular crust is of course better, but if that's not an option, this is still very good. The salads are surprisingly robust there as well. I had the wings twice. First time great. Second time, mediocre. I'll try once more for a tie breaker.

First time trying Fresco Pizzeria. Quick and definitely enough for two. Everyone was wearing gloves and masks. Win and win!! People may think I'm crazy but I even loved that after she ran my card, she gave me the papers to sign and my card back and immediately took a step back. Social distancing while picking up my food. Alfredo could have used a bit more cheese, but I'm a cheese fanatic. You'd be crazy not to get the Garlic Parm Bites

No. They were one of the better places in town, but no more. Not even close to average. We paid $24 (a complete waste of time and money) for a 12-inch pizza. It was supposed to be a customized Bianca (mozzarella, no marinara) with: EXTRA garlic, olive oil, basil, and mushrooms. Simple, right? W R O N G. What we got: mozzarella, a few mushrooms, and unnoticeable basil, visually and in taste. No olive oil, just cheese on top of pizza dough. One can taste both basil and garlic in a pizza, or not. This clearly was NOT for both. Someone who is deathly allergic to garlic could've eaten this pizza with absolutely no use of an epi-pen or a trip to a local ER. My hubby ordered at the counter to go. I'm unsure if the royal screw-up was thanks to the person at the register who was beyond clueless or the cook, but I'm thinking the buck stops with the cashier. She did not give him a receipt, wasn't wearing a mask, and when he noted the problems with the pizza, she proceeded to breathe on the pizza (REALLY???) and wave her ungloved finger way too close to point out that no, there's no red sauce. Bonus! Two containers of parmesan and a packet of Luigi's red peppers were thrown INTO the box with the pizza. I don't even want to fathom how many people touched those items which ended up pressed against our food. Here's a comparison on the price-point. A White 20" pizza with 8 slices at Manero's on Mulberry in Little Italy (Manhattan), made with fior di latte is the same price. A larger pie made in M A N H A T T A N. Fior di latte! Lastly, we only went here because (a) Fresco was previously fine and (b) our beloved Pizza Luna is temporarily shut down due to compliance with vaccination requirements. Also, they kindly regard both their staff and customers by masking up. I'd recommend that you pay Pizza Luna a visit once they're back as Fresco is just a Fiasco.

Awesome local pizza shop, friendly staff, and cool atmosphere. We had the Chicken Alfredo Pizza.

We decided to try the pizza here based on the good reviews. We ordered 2 different sized pizzas for delivery, the Quin Carne & Cheese. The flavor was just okay. The crust was really thick and the pizza was greasy, especially for the high price tag.

Food was great, and the service was amazing. Had the gluten free pizza and it tasted amazing.

Total crap hole. Never even got the drink I ordered. Pizza tasted a little off. Tables were so sticky it's disgusting. The salad we got had rotten lettuce on bottom of "to go"container. We left the remainder of the food we ordered and just walked out. And I'm not sure if it's legal or not, but they are charging higher prices than what are posted under the "menu hasn't been updated yet" excuse. NEVER going back.
