so after having lived in the phoenix area for 2 years, i decided it was high time to finally see some of the restaurants everyone raves about. This was the first restaurant i was told to try and boy was it amazing. The wait was crappy but my friend and i just brought something to occupy our time. Since we are medical students we had plenty of notes to keep us busy. nonetheless, we decided to see what the wine bar was like next door and a couple of glasses of wine later we are all giggles and boy talk. 3 hours later (which is a bit too much in my final opinion) we were seated at the bar and promptly ordered. We shared an appetizer, spiedini (Italian fontina wrapped in prosciutto with arugula greens) and it was fantastic!! the cheese was perfectly melted and cut by the salty prosciutto and peppery arugula. As for the pizzas, we each ordered a pizza knowing that we would have leftovers to take home. I choose the Wise Guy mainly for the fennel sausage and it was worth it! The pizza crust was amazing, super fresh cheese and the onions were caramelized perfectly. My friend decided on the Rosa, which she really enjoyed, although we both agreed it was incredibly greasy. All in all, a fun night away from studying, but is it worth 3 hours of smelling pizza and being starved while you wait? ....That's your call, but i will say it's the best pizza I've ever had in the US and almost as good as the pizza i had in Spain.
