Stumpy's Pizza & Subs

This place came to my attention from a published list of "Highest-Rated Cheap Eats in Phoenix" and had to go check it out. Had it not been on that list, I would have never found it. It's a tiny spot tucked in a small plaza on Northern which makes it difficult to see if you weren't looking for it. It is, as they claim, a typical neighborhood pizza joint. A handful of tables and a selection of full pizzas, slice combos, sandwiches, and other items. We ordered some slices and an Italian sub. The slices were very large with lots of sausage and pretty typical of a NY style pie. They were reheated a bit too dark and crispy, but we're still very good. The sub was also like you would find in NY/NJ and was very good. We were there at lunch time and it was lively with a good vibe. No table service and nothing too fancy. The staff was busy and very pleasant. We may stop back in to order a fresh whole pizza. Pretty sure it will be excellent. Perfect lunch spot if you're in the hood. And yes, cheap too!

I got the $28 combo pizza two toppings with a salad. The pizza is awesome! Hands down the best pizza I've had in a few years! 👍 I just moved in the neighborhood I just found my new go to spot for pizza thank you Stumpy's keep up the delicious work

Hole in the wall joint. Not a lot of seating & often enough the parking spots are limited. At least when I've gone during lunchtime. Little pricey but the atmosphere & pizza is good. Medium drink with two slices & two toppings will cost you $10.50. Bathroom is in the back.

In business since '99 and for good reason, excellent customer service, clean restaurant and delicious pizza with the gooey mozzarella and a zesty robust sauce. The crust has a crispy edges and chewy inside. I'll definitely be back to try the sandwiches. Support your local family owned pizza parlor!

I have to say it's the best pizza I've ever had and I am a Pizza connoisseur. I go to a different pizza place to try pizza every other week this is a mad awesome pizza place. The crust is like to die for, you don't have to know through this one it's just the right texture just light and crispy with just the right amount of sauce and cheese. By the way you can taste the freshness in the sauce, it's notable for sure I mean there's not a time that I've gone there since not been good and they're so friendly! If you're a pizza lover and you want a great experience order and meat lovers it's got a lot of meat guys! The pepperoni is I'm just going to say I don't think they have anything bad here!

OMG! What I have been missing!! Stumpy's pizza has the freshest, quality ingredients, perfectly seasoned, fast, friendly, and they may be a few $ more, but you get what you pay for! The chain pizza shops might as well shut their doors! My 1st time ordering today and they showed me what real pizza is supposed to taste like. You have a new customer forever! Thank you Taffy Moreno Good Job!

Pizza and wings. Very good! Only issue was the place got slammed when we sat down. They do a lot of delivery and pick up business. So it took a while to get to our order. But the food and service was great despite the crowd! We were there on a Friday night. You know, some places can't handle the business and the food quality suffers...not here! I like the place...yep.

Co-worker introduced me to this spot, I had to try the authentic meatball and it didn't disappoint. The sauce is fresh and the meatballs and cheese are flavorful. I highly recommend this place for lunch or dinner! It won't break the bank either.

When your tummy feeling grumpy, do your Yelpstar self a favor; get your big booty into STUMPY'S! Flew into Phoenix airport and got stuck in the rental car line for hours, which blew our lunch plans. Luckily we had an appointment for Pedicures at Pretty Little Nails. As I walked into the nail joint I saw Stumpy's pizza next door! Two five star birds with one stone! Pulled up Stumpy's on Yelp and saw they had some legit Yelp scores. I was so hungry so I had to place an online order before they closed. Ordered up one small butcher pizza, and one hot Italian sub please! Super 2024 legit pizza my friends. Toppings, crust, was on point! I'll be back!

3.5 Stars. My Brother in law and Son did a quick little pizza tour of Phoenix. We went to 5 different places, and grabbed a slice from each. Stumpy's ranked #4 of 5 on our tour. Went with a slice of cheese to split with my Son. Wasn't sure how full we would be, and had more spots to go to. Probably could have had my own slice. Small place, friendly workers! How was the slice? Eh, it was ok. Gave it a 6.9 out of 10. Thin, gooey cheese, minimal crust and the crust had no chew and tasted plain jane. My Brother in law got a slice of pepperoni/pineapple. He thought it was just ok, also. If I lived close to this place, I would try it again, and order something with more toppings. The pizzas around us looked pretty good! The cheese was very basic and that's all I have to judge this spot by.

Great quality pizza for the price as well as a lovely atmosphere and service. It's a great little family spot.

Definitely solid pizza. Service is quick and good. We dined inside, and it's very much a casual ambiance (it looks like it is more catered to take out). We had their large pizza and wings, and overall everything was pretty good.

Delivery - we recently moved to the area and tried placing an order for delivery and was told they don't deliver to my address when my address is literally a 10 minute drive - straight shot. I was placing a small order of $70.00 dollars but don't know why I was given a second excuse where she added that they are a small establishment and couldn't accommodate us. What was weirder was that after she took my name she then said she couldn't deliver to me. I do have a Hispanic name (Paulina) and couldn't understand what had changed after asking my name! I guess not everyone is accommodating to everyone in this area. Such an unfortunate experience!!

This was our first time trying this and I must say it was pretty amazing. My girl got the hot meatball sub and I go the classic Italian toasted and man it was juicy and tasty. The pizzas coming out the kitchen to other tables smelled and looked amazing as well were definitely coming back. Small spot, gets very busy during lunch hour, friendly staff, cool decos, the ambience was on point! we're coming back for the pizza!

The best quality pizza in Phoenix, Az. Quality and fresh are their most important ingredients. The time and care they take in creating a delightful and delicious meal from their pizza is why I always go to them. Thanks for the excellent food and service. Try the Greek pizza....

Trust a local - Stumpy's is one of the best. Look, just like burgers, it's okay if you have more than one "favorite" pizza place as there are many takes on how a pizza should be made. But, Stumpy's deserves 5 stars because: it's delicious, quality and generous ingredients, and locally owned. Their proprietary sausage is my highest recommendation--sliced or crumbled. Yes, you're going to pay more here than at one of the national chain competitors, but you're going to be happy you did. Or, if you really want to save money, get your kids some crappy pizza from the chain and impress the adults in your group to Stumpy's. If you like my money saving recommendation, shoot me $1 to let me know! Venmo: @R-P-2009

This is how a neighborhood pizza place should be. Stumpy's is your hometown, high quality, excellent service, superior pizza place that sponsors local Boy Scouts and baseball teams, and has decades of customer pictures on the wall. I love the 2 item slice with house salad and a drink special, and Italian sub is excellent too.

Delicious. Delivered by them, not a third party. Piping hot. Next time I will ask to go a little lighter on the sausage, but the flavor was great.

I've tried many places through the valley, many "high end" pizzerias but this mom and pop pizza spot is one of the few places that makes quality, delicious pizza. Add it to your list of "must try"

Yum!!! We stopped by to find fast and friendly service....yummy food and great music Cheese slice was yummy just the right amount of cheese and a thin (not soggy) crust....we ended up offering another on mid meal We also ordered 2 calzones (cheese and veggie) as well as the hot pastrami sandwich My husband very very please with the sandwich taste and portion The Calzones were filling g and we are definitely taking home leftovers Definitely recommend this place :) and we are already thinking about when we'd be in this area again!

Ordered the 2 pizza lunch special and what a treat! Pizza was made to order so it took some time but well worth the wait! The pizza crust was on the thin side but the abundance of toppings definitely filled you up. Busy at lunch time so be patient or order ahead.

The best pizza in town and the best customer service in town hands down Just a small dining area and they are not open on Sundays But if you are near don't pass them by !

My first time coming in and absolutely loved it! I was around the area wanting a quick bite and I came across Stumpy's. It's kinda hidden but for sure worth the try. I like the atmosphere, it seemed like a family small business. The service was amazing and super friendly and was able to explain the menu when I had a question. The pizza I got was huge!! I couldn't finish it and had to take it home. You can tell the pizza was fresh and enjoyable with their delicious ingredients. Will come back due to the amazing experience!

Great local eatery Love the pizza and subs Always great quality Plan ahead as it gets busy and not a lot of seating Take out is good

Leaving a Five star review because I didn't know the ranch was inside my salad box (it was taped shut, my bad lol) and the nice ladies at Stumpy's still helped me with a ranch when I asked! Super cool of y'all and super dumb of me . It doesn't matter if you order pizza or a sub, this place is freaking delicious every time. It's always busy (obviously) but they hustle and food comes out fast and fresh. Sunnyslope gem, thank you Stumpy's team!

To wit , I've never been in here but I have bought pizza and sandwiches from here time after time. I think that their quality and consistency along with their delivery times and food quality are top tier. The prices are great as well for a mom and dad pizzeria.would and definitely do recommend a standard pizza pie from stumpys .

I've had their sandwiches and wings and they're both good. Just recently got a made to order pizza and it was pretty fantastic. Good price for the quality and size. Very friendly staff.

I love this hole in the wall pizza place. I've been coming here for over 15 years. Today I drove over 30 miles for a slice. The people are always nice.

We stopped here today for the French dip that is raved about by many. We got the French dip to go and had a picnic in the park. When you first unwrap the French dip you get an aroma of garlic. I feel like they make their French dips with garlic bread. I love garlic but it was definitely a first to have a French dip on garlic bread. The meat I found to be cut thicker than I'm used to but it was tasty. The au jus was perfect though. It wasn't too salt or bland. While I don't understand the hype, it was a decent sandwich. And I like the garlic aspect minus the greasiness from the butter. It seemed soaked in butter which to me is off putting and takes away from the original concept and composition of a true French dip.

I was here before for pizza and pastrami sub and it was all great. This time I wanted to try their Calzone and buffalo wings-WOW-more winners and the calzone was the best I've had in years. The ricotta cheese is Pollyo direct from NYC. My calzone was loaded with hot salami, pepperoni, sausage etc. and came with a large container of delicious marinara sauce for dipping. This is easily the best Calzone deal in Phoenix and it's huge; so also best value. The wings were large and in charge with great tangy hot sauce with my favorite bleu cheese. This place is always busy and I always figure out why. Note: The staff is very courteous, FAST and professional-also top ten service in the City in my experience. Top ten dining value in Arizona.

When I walked in I loved the ambiance, already a green flag! The service was amazing! Another green flag! And the food, the food was AMAZING! I got a pizza slice with extra cheese, olives, and Canadian bacon. So 5 stars.

We were a little skeptical to try stumpys as we are pretty critical of pizza, but my husband and I were pleasantly surprised with our awesome visit to stumpys tonight! The staff there is super friendly. This place is small But there were a few tables to dine at. We started off with the garlic toast. I do wish it was a tad more crispy but otherwise delicious! Perfect amount of garlic. We also got a plain cheese pizza. The cheese on it was amazing. Fantastic cheese burn and cheese pull! Good sauce to cheese ratio too. I got some ranch to dip my crust in too and it was wonderful! We will return for sure!

Love this place. The employees are super friendly and the food is delicious. I get the Italian sub hot and it is my favorite. Definitely recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

Don't be stumped; this place is phenomenal. All surfaces were clean, including the drink area. Decor is definitely small town pizza shop and it's adorable and fun. Everything was well organized and in good repair. Parking lot is a little tight as it's shared with several other businesses. Staff is incredible! So friendly and hard working. Everyone was dressed appropriately, had good hygiene, and had professional interactions with each other and guests. When ordering, an employee was making ranch behind the counter from fresh ingredients which I appreciated seeing and which was really tasty. I had the first lunch special: two slices of pizza with any two toppings and a drink. Phenomenal. Cheese pull was insane. Ingredients were fresh and perfectly cooked. Crust was thin, flavorful, and perfectly chewy. I tried several teas and they were all fantastic, perfectly brewed. Overall, a killer deal! My next visit I would like to try one of their sandwiches. Tip: ranch is not free, so make sure to order it with the rest of your food. Thank you Stumpy's! I appreciate you all and look forward to my next visit.

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I ate half down and had a few wings to try too. The food was immaculate, I could go here everyday and I just might because it's 5 min from work. Try the subs!

Amazing pizza! They have great customer service. Always so friendly and smiley when I come in. They even called to let me know that they were busy and it will be longer than what it said online which I really appreciated.

Lived in the hood since 2015 Finally ordered hot sandwiches from here and they were excellent Reminded me of back home (NY) I definitely noticed the repeat customers as the owner knew them by name and that was pretty dope Love these little small owned businesses Always happy to support over corporate spots

it's bomb ass pizza simple. Staff is always friendly too and one time I asked if they would make me a heart shape pizza and they did

4 years in this city. 16 pizza places at every price point across the valley. All rated 4 and better. HUGE SCORE TODAY at Stumpy's! Since I left home, Tucson, I've missed a slice that was nicely balanced - you know, that meat and veggies meets fresh dough slightly crisp in all the right places? Fold it if you want. Or straight up in front of your nose to let the toppings melt into your happy mouth unobstructed by anything. Like basil? They do a thicker chiffonade and tumble it on, all fresh. It feels healthy. Lol!. My hubby scored a slice of sausage and loved it - hints of caraway and the sausage was a lovely combo of perfect little crumbles that only the wise understand how to make happen. Beef sandwich on garlic bread made my hubby SING. Me too. Perfection. Just right, down to the butter and the au jus dip. Oatmeal cookie was big, soft and buttery rich with raisins. We live near AJ. Yes we will haul our humble selves to this Phx location. Sorry no pictures. Everyone else's are more than adequate. Oh. And. Nice people there!

It's changed. It used to be ah-mazing. Now it's just rubber on a slide. Please go back to the way it used to be.

Always fire Oscar is the man! Apparently I need 85 characters to make this a legit review, so here you go. Pizza is has a great cheese to sauce to crust ratio. It's greasy, cheesey and a place I will go to until it closes or I die.

This place is AMAZING we were in a bit of a hurry and our pizza came out gooey but sturdy in the middle crispy crust and lots of cheese stretch dishing' it out. You are loosing out if you don't eat here. I never review...it's that good. Thanks for the ice. Hope to see cream cheese popper pizza next time!

Amazing pizza and ranch. We order here often and every single time the food comes out great. Definitely a little pricey but you get very good pizza so it's worth it on occasion.

Always amazing - great service - small business. Love their pizza - best in the area.

They were very busy. We had to wait a long time. I thought that was a good thing, because that usually means that the food is probably good. I was very disappointed with the taste of my pizza. It was bland and barely had sauce on it. It was soggy in the middle. I am never going back.

Got the works pizza this time. It was delicious and would be ordered again. All the other pizzas sound good too and will be tried at some point.

I ordered for pickup and the meal was ready during the time frame specified online which was 25 minutes. When I arrived I was greeted by the cashier and she helped me finish my order. The place is a little hidden but that's how you know its going to be good. The pizza was great with the right amount of sauce to cheese ratio. We also order hot wings and they packed a punch. The wings were cooked to perfection and delicious. I will definitely be coming here again.

Great price for the quality of the food. LOADED with toppings. Customer service is good.

I can't believe we just discovered this place a few months ago! Our new regular weekly spot! Great pizza and every sandwich I've tried, so far.

We loved our visit to Stumpy's. We ate in but they do a huge business in take out and delivery. The dining area is small but we had no trouble finding a seat. We enjoyed watching the 10-12 employees work filling orders like the well oiled machine they are. Great Pizza! Great Wings! We got the family special and added pepperoni to the pizza. Delicious! Have to admit the amount of food was way more than three could handle. Plenty of pizza and 24 wings was too much for us, but be your own judge. I'd have eaten all of it if I could. Definitely one of the best pizza places we have been to. Pizza is sold by whole pie or by slice. Beverages: Coke products Cleanliness: above average Service: above average MyFitnessPal: just close you eyes and dive in. Sorry not on my fitness pal.

Best pizza in Phoenix. Small shop, big pizza. And the Italian hoagies are pretty amazing too!!

What a small gem with a big punch for pizza. I am a NY style pizza lover but the WHITEOUT pizza that Stumpy's is to perfection! I don't think that I have eaten a better pizza in my life. There is a special freshness and taste that this pizza has. I have eaten the meat pizzas, but will try but this is my second time eating the WHITEOUT pizza and it is like no other. You have a loyal customer when it comes to PIZZA! SIMPLE BEST!

This is a very small restaurant with a huge take-out business. They bake their wings which is a real plus. The restaurant is no-frills but the food is always great.

Really pretty good pizza. We had the Hawaiian and it was delicious but the wings were a bit small for my liking .

What flavorful pizza and speedy delivery service to the Hilton Peaks. The pepperoni was exactly as I love it. Saucy and cheesy without asking for extra. Highly recommend for groups. We had 11 family members at the meal.

A local fixture, Stumpy's is the place to go if you want damn good wings and pizza in north central. Tucked into an unassuming strip mall off of Northern, the unassuming location fits perfectly with the unassuming nature of this lovely team. Don't let this fool you though - the food punches far above the utter lack of pretense the humble surroundings imply.

Best pizza place in the neighborhood. The White Out is my favorite, along with pepperoni and mushrooms. Would recommend highly. The employees are always friendly and cheerful.

Really good pizza, baked wings and even got the chicken salad!! Let them know if it's your first time there... they'll make you feel welcome
