11 Best Pizza Spots in Metro Phoenix

Avocado with prosciutto at LGO

La Grande Orange Pizzeria

Back in the day, MJ Coe created the sourdough pizza dough for this hectic neighborhood hotspot as well, and lots of us have been loving those tangy-crust LGO pies ever since. Baked in a deck oven and topped with ingredients such as corn, goat cheese, broccolini and fennel, they feel a bit like the trendy California pizzas of the '90s, which means they're comforting and fun at once. One of my favorites is the Avocado ($14), topped with avocado, tomatoes, basil, lemon zest, and (for an extra three bucks) prosciutto. So light it's almost guilt-free.

Cibo

Chef Guido Saccone grew up making pizza in Italy, traveling the country as a pizzaiolo before heading to the States and, eventually, Cibo. His upbringing informs his fresh, simple food and, of course, his charred and blistered wood-fired pies, topped with premium ingredients such as top-grade San Daniele prosciutto, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano and San Marzano tomatoes. Build your own pizza or choose among 20-some-odd possibilities, including classics such as the Margherita and the Quattro Formaggi ($10.50-$14.50). I love having sturdy, rustic options such as the Salsiccia con Patate: sausage, potato and mozzarella.

While many of the picks are great, some of those barely resemble pizzas.

Missing from the list: Mellow Mushroom.

Pizza a Metro deserves consideration here.  And you missed the point that Pane Bianco has 4 of the Pizzeria Bianco pizzas (for dinner except for summer).

those all look great, but sadly the best pizza ever in the valley, Pizza D'Amore, is gone forever

Great list...though a caveat about Bianco/Italian Restaurant: the pies at Italian Restaurant are simply not the same as the Pizzeria. Same ingredients, perhaps, but not nearly the same flavor and crust. A little greasier too. Tried them 3x now and resolved to just go to the Pizzeria if I want the good stuff.
