The atmosphere is really nice, big tall windows let in a lot of light. Lots of tables and cool vibe. The patios are nice too. Our service was good, everyone was friendly. The food was just ok. I did not like the marinara, which was on every thing. It was far too sweet and was off putting. The gelato was super good and the cheesy garlic bread was yummy.
Spinato’s never disappoints! The pizza is always hot, fresh, and packed with flavor — that crust and sauce combo is next-level. Staff was friendly and the place has a nice, relaxed vibe. Easily one of the best pizza spots in Tempe. Definitely worth a stop if you’re craving something tasty!
First time eating at Spinato’s. We tried the Phoenix Suns favorite pizza, added pineapple. They were out of the Sicilian crust, so thin it was. Pizza flavor was very good! Meat topping was sparse- interesting and unique crust. We shared the small Cesar salad- very flavorful, loads of parmigiana. Croutons were teeth breakers. Service at our table in the bar, just okay. Our server was off in la-la land. The bartender was cranking out the goods to those seated at the bar. We got our little side of ranch just in time to put it in the leftover box. S l o w. We both decided there are way too many other places to try before coming back.
Spinato’s Family Pizzeria at Tempe Marketplace is my second favorite pizza joint, just behind Barro’s Pizza, and it’s easy to see why. This spot nails it with a great location, offering plenty of parking and seating indoors and outdoors. The interiors are a standout, with stylish lighting and thoughtful design creating a warm, inviting vibe. The clean restrooms add to the comfort, and the welcoming hospitality and great service make every visit a pleasure. The customized pizza options deliver fantastic pies, bursting with flavor, and the home brew beer is a tasty complement. A wide range of appetizers keeps things interesting, perfect for sharing. Bar seating adds a fun option for solo diners or those wanting a lively atmosphere. It’s a pretty cool place to chill out with friends, offering a relaxed yet vibrant setting for group hangouts. Spinato’s is a gem for pizza lovers seeking quality food and a great time!
This is my favorite place to eat pizza. Exceptional taste. We tried to ask the staff about the sauce ingredients, but they told us it’s a secret. No one knows it but 3 people haha. Try their veggie pizza. We tried the one that is topped with Italian beef but we didn’t like it. We also tried their fettuccine and tiramisu and they were good, but not as wow as their pizzas. What I liked also about Spinato’s is the owner. He is so friendly. He walks around the tables/customers, welcome them and ask them about their experience/feed back. We have been in Spinato’s more than 6-7 times. We visited their branch in both Tempe and Chandler. The one in Tempe has a large terrace. You can enjoy the nice winter of Arizona while having your pizza. The one in Chandler have a party area. Clean toilets/ free parking. Extremely recommended. Wish them all the best.
Great place for a family gathering! The food was top notch, and came very fast. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was pretty. The appetizers were fresh and came quick, the entrees came quickly after and were also fantastic. My favorite was the calzone with vodka sauce, I truly enjoyed the flavors of the dish. Happy we chose this location for our family gathering.
We worked with Spinatos for our micro-wedding reception. The Tempe restaurant and Spinatos' catering teams were the best to work with! They met with us several times and were so helpful for our event. They were flexible letting us bring decor, and the staff treated our family so well. We go here for all of our family events and will keep coming back now that we have a super special memory!! 100/10 would recommend having an event here, especially on their pretty outdoor balcony.
