Broccolini, spicy peppers, and thin crust pizza. You combine three of my favorite things and you get the Rocket Man. So very good. LGO manages to keep its wood fired crusts substantial and bready, yet never, ever flaccid (unlike other so-called wood fired pizza joints *ahem*Bianco*cough*Cibo).
I'm knocking off a star because the place is always yuppie pandemonium, and you have to watch your ass in the parking lot because it's full of Range Rovers driven by women who don't know how to maneuver a large vehicle. But, they get part of that star back for the adjacent gelato shop. Perfection.
Love: the pizza and the atmosphere. I have tried four of the pizzas. My favorite by far is the avocado pizza. May sound odd, but it's good. I also like the Veg-o-rama. The Rocket Man claims to be "SPICY" but was not spicy at all when I ordered it. Mushroom Party is superb as well, the fennel really makes this one memorable.The crust is really good. The pizzas are on the small side, you could probably scarf one all by yourself, but I recommend going with a group and ordering a variety so you can try all the funky combinations.
Service is good, parking is hell on earth for dinner and all day on the weekends. But like another reviewer said, if you know this going in, you'll be okay.
Great. If you have never been I would highly suggest going. Has great pizza...another local spot that blows Pizzeria Bianco out of the water. This place is pretty packed on the weekends and you can expect to wait at least 30 minutes on any given day.
The service here is top notch and I have never had a bad meal. This is one of those places that you wish no one knew about because it is so good you want to keep it to yourself. Me yelping about it is not helping but they are so busy most times the secret's out...and if you don't know now ya know!!!!
5 stars!!!
The best margarita pizza in town - and we know our pizza. The perfect flavor. Great restaurant with a simple menu and good atmosphere. Fantastic chicken wings, salads and margarita pizza. The sangria is pretty good too. Usually a bit of a wait, but worth it. Can do some browsing at the market next door during your wait and grab Gelatto after.
You need to know that parking really does suck here. Yes, it sucks that much that it's the first thing that needs to be put in the review. Go there aware of this, and you can still have a great time.
LGO is a pretty cool place that I suspect came out of nowhere and has since flooded the little corner it sits on. It wholly deserves the attention, mind you, as that whole tiny plaza is awesome (this does consist of a gelato shop, LGO Pizza, and LGO Grocery). The first stop on the trip was to LGO Pizzeria.
The place was packed even late into the dinner hour. It was a Saturday, so this wasn't really shocking. Luckily, we were able to sit at the long communal immediately. This also meant we go to look right at all the delicious looking pizzas coming out of the oven. Needless to say, we felt real hungry, real fast.
Wine was chosen from the enormous tome of options (they sell wine at retail from the LGO grocery next door) and a few wings ordered. The wings that arrived were very, very, very good. I'm not even a huge fan of wings and these were just spectacular. Baked and quite probably marinated for hours, they just fell right off the bone.
The pizzas, when they arrived, looked as good as everything else that had passed up by. The Avocado pizza was an interesting blend of light cheese, avocado, and lemon zest. While the lemon balanced the avocado out well, it wasn't quite to my taste. The Rocket Man, on the other hand, was good and spicy. Actually, the two pizzas were both very complementary to one another and the experience of the meal definitely benefited from it.
Went Friday night for a late dinner and was pleasantly surprised with their green chili burger. I have had the pizza and love the cheese with fresno chili's on it. I was just craving something different. The menu said they were rated best burgers in Phoenix this year and I do admit they are up there on my list. I highly recommend stopping in if you never have before or try the burger if you've never done so.
I am from Chicago and this is definitely my favorite place to go for pizza here in Arizona! I'm also a huge fan of sourdough, so it is pretty perfect for me!!!
My favorite is the thin sausage pizza. So yummy!!!
Parking is a pain and the wait staff isn't the friendliest. I came in yesterday with my two daughters pretty early in the evening. Our waitress picked up my daughters plate before she was even finished, cleaned up the entire table while we were still sitting there, and even took all the napkins. I needed the napkins to wipe their hands after eating pizza...why would you take brand new, clean napkins away when I have two small kids with me?
To start, the chicken wings are fantastic.
The pizza is good as well. I prefer either the cheese pizza or the "Gladiator" pizza (sausage and pepperoni).
Burgers -- whether it be the cheeseburger or "Hurricane Fish Sandwich" -- are excellent.
The food is simple, but remarkably delightful.
My only problem with LGO's pizzeria is parking (or rather, lack thereof). This is especially true if you visit at peak-dinnertime hours.
And don't be the dude (or chick) that parks in a curbside parking spot -- without the intention of using cURBSIDE SERVICES -- only to spend two hours eATing INSIDE!!!! Use the valet, please.
Thank you.
The sourdough crust is Amazing! I used to work there, so I've tried pretty much everything and it is all scrumptious. I especially love the gladiator and roasted corn pizzas and I actually ate a whole pizza on my way home in the car once. I know, I'm disgusting.
This place has such great potential. The drink menu is pretty decent and they have some creative pizzas. I always end up getting the mushroom party, which is exactly as awesome as it sounds. The dessert is to die for too. Give me a red velvet cupcake and I will swoon.
Three things keep me from coming back here more often:
1) It's rather small and cramped
2) The service has been slow every time I've been there
3) Parking is practically nonexistent
I definitely didn't love this restaurant like other "yelpers". I do like the idea that all of the owners spots are right in the same area, especially 3 right in a block's distance and another right up the street.
Got the wings to start, they do have a good amount of chicken on them, but the sauce didn't do it for me. I also tried the pizza and hamburger. I have read before that they have the BEST burger in the area. I did not think it was the best, but I also didn't order the green chili burger, which was the one I read so much about. To me the pizza was very basic, but I know others have enjoyed it.
I was not completely disappointed with my experience, but I'm not rushing to go back either.
Good spot with good pizza, particularly the Roasted Corn, but the hype and crowds don't quite justify the hassle. I go usually when I need to get a gelato fix at Archellinos or my wife has her bi-monthly Tammie Coe Red Velvet cravings.
Memo to LGO ownership: It's called a parking lot and they were developed to provide ease and convenience to patrons. I'd recommend looking into getting one.
Definitely thought about 5 stars, am still thinking about 5 stars but am going to give it 4 for the moment. I think I need another La Grande pizza to give it a bold 5 stars. All food critics journey to a restaurant at least 2, 3, 4, 15 times before giving their final critique- the same goes for me, by the twentieth time or so I still haven't had everything I think I could, twice or so over.
Love the pizza, Love the french fries- possibly the last two foods I would have if it was my last day on Earth.
What a cute place! If I lived in the Phoenix area, LGC (as Gabi K calls it) and I would be good friends. It seems to have so many personalities -- all of them fabulous. I only was able to enjoy a "lunch-to-go" here, and it didn't disappoint. I have the Chopped Pizza Salad and sushi along with some tasty iced tea. There seem to be some many items in the market cum deli com pizzaria cum wine spot, that I needed more time to explore them all. Biggest surprise? They have bottled their own maple syrup!
Next time I must try those cupcakes. they looked YUM-MY!
We went to LGO with my inlaws & husband for our anniversary dinner.
We had 3 pizzas- corn, veggie, and a veggie with chillies on it. All 3 were great, we actually had a discussion to determine which one was better.
All of us are looking forward to going soon, my inlaws live in Glendale & want to come and pick up pizza from LGO now!
I have a wonderful love/hate relationship with LGO.
You know when you have a friend who is just...difficult but awesome? You know that it is going to be a bit of a challenge to get together with him/her, and they might give you a hard time? But once you do get settled in, all is well and your friend is awesome?
So that's where I am with LGO. I have been coming here for 4 years or so, and the parking always sucks (as previously mentioned) and the lines are always long (also previously mentioned). I suppose its impressive that this place is so packed all the time....but based on the food, it's not surprising.
The food is awesome- particularly the pizzas and the commuter sandwich. Also they have some of the best prepackaged salads I have ever had....I'm not even a salad girl! Overall, LGO is a place with character, entertainment, and great food.
One more thing is the size- during the lunch/dinner rush it is particularly difficult for those in wheelchairs to manuever the room. Last year I scheduled a meeting with several colleagues, and one who was in a wheelchair had a very hard time- we had to ask another group to switch with us so she could get up to the table. I'm quite certain it was pretty embarassing for her.
Woah talk about confusing, starting with the entrance - we walked in through the back door, right through the kitchen.. still not sure if that was actually an acceptable thing to do. Nobody said anything if it wasn't. Then what? Looked around for a hostess, didn't see one - were we supposed to seat ourselves or get in line? Which line? The big one going out the door? The coffee station? The pastry station? Did we have to go to each one for something different? Would have asked somebody if there had been anyone to ask. Like I said, confusing. Won't be that way for you, of course, because I'm going to lay it all out for you...
Ok, so there ain't really all that much to lay out.. It's pretty simple, actually. Split up, that's my advice - one of yous grab a table - there aren't many when they're busy - and somebody else get in line - doesn't matter which one. We ordered everything we needed from the coffee station. Apparently that's a secret, because the other one was going out the door, like I said.
The food - we shared the french pancakes, these super thin little slices of Heaven, and the tofu "chorizo" burrito. Rockin' good breakfast. Very tasty, and a nice change of pace. Beware: the orange juice is freshly squeezed and jam packed with pulp. Cool if that's your thing, not so much if it ain't.
And in retrospect, all that confusion - was all kind of part of the charm of the place. Weird, huh?
Good and unique.
The BF and I make a weekly visit to LGO Pizzeria. The tasty food here is consistent and reliable. The atmosphere is hip and the staff is attractive with a very funky sense of style. Craig is a great waiter and remembers all of our ordering quirks including the need for extra Splenda to go with our iced tea. It's always a hoot to check out his new 'do for the week.
For appetizers, the BF loves to order a half dozen of their Chicken Wings ($7). The wings are moist with a nice bit of char on them and a zesty wing sauce. The housemade Point Reyes blue cheese dressing is a nice counterpoint to the slightly spicy wings. I frequently order the Chopped Turkey salad ($8.25) with fresh greens, tomatoes, egg, avocado, bacon, Point Reyes blue cheese and cheddar tossed with both ranch and house vinaigrette. This salad is technically only available at the LGO Grocery next door, but they will serve you one at the pizzeria if they have one on hand. I have them dress the salad as usual with a combo of ranch and house vinaigrette, but then I get a side of the Point Reye blue cheese dressing as it's a tasty dip for the turkey and tomatoes. Sometimes we go for the Shrimp Ceviche ($13) with avocado, tomatoes, jicama and lime juice with house-made tortilla chips.
If we're in the mood for pizza, we order the Gladiator ($14) with Schreiner's sausage and pepperoni, cheese blend and house-made red sauce. We kick it up a notch and add black olives, broccolini, bacon and lemon zest. Once in a while we go for broke and have them add a cracked egg to the mix. I prefer a crisp crust, so I order the pizza "well done" to the point where the crust is almost burnt. It's delicious and a decent stand-in for the ethereal pies at Pizzeria Bianco given that it does not require a wait of three or four hours. Sometimes we mix it up and order the Fish Sandwich ($14) with house-made slaw. It's best with fresh halibut. I order a side of the Russian dressing to oomph up the sandwich. And the fries they serve along with the sandwich are excellent.
We never order dessert here because we always grab it from the utterly superb Arlecchino Gelateria next door and bring it back to the table to enjoy.
The décor is pleasant with a huge vase in the center of the room that acts as an economic barometer. The fresh flowers in the vase reach all the way to the ceiling when times are good and the arrangement gets shorter and shorter the worse the economy gets.
All in all, LGO Pizzeria is a great neighborhood yuppie pizza joint.
La Grande. Hmmm. You know the food is good - there wouldn't be lines out the door everyday if it wasn't.
However, no matter how good your food is, or how popular your restaurant is, customer service is still important.
I arrived here for a small lunch with some co-workers around 12:00 on a weekday - this is where I made my first mistake. The line extended out the door and there was zero parking. There was a mess of people everywhere. The line was a mess, no one knew how to order or where.
When we finally get to the front of the line there is a huge display case of tammy coe cakes, it was tempting to check them out, but we couldn't because some guy behind the counter was screaming at us to order. Seriously, and when I didn't answer immediatly I got a dirty look! Sad for them though, I probably would have ordered more had I not been rushed.
I ordered my turkey sandwich and started to search for a place to sit. We eventually found a seat in the pizza area. Then had to go back out to wait for our names to be screamed out to get our food. So classy.
My sandwich was good: the bread was good, the turkey was good, but not worth the wait and the grumpy staff.
I really enjoying coming to LGO with my girlfriend about 1 hour before closing. We found that when we go too early there is very little parking and there is always a wait. So we opted to go later and have found this to be the best time. The wait staff is very nice and helpful around this time too, since it close to closing the staff is more relaxed and fun. With less people in the place it also makes for a more romantic setting.
I really enjoy getting half Lime Avocado and half roasted corn pizza. I feel you get the best of both worlds with this half and half. Nice cool and smooth texture when you bite into the Lime Avocado slice and then the roasted corn slice gives you a pop of flavor and.
I have found that the wine selection has a few good choices to complete the pizza or if you are a pizza and beer person the beer selection is average. You will be able to find a beer that you like on the list.
If you feel like getting a little desert when you are done with your meal then you go can walk next door and get some delicious gelato; that is if you get done with your dinner before they close.
There is nothing like riding your cruiser to La Grande Orange on a Sat or Sun. This is a great place to listen to the music and people watch, while enjoying a nice breakfast, salad, sandwich, pizza, coffee or glass of sangria. It's usually busy, but fairly laid-back. Grab today's paper, bring your laptop and enjoy the ambiance. The big draw-back is the parking.
Although I've been coming to LGO forever, I never really talked about it... It was there... everyone knew about it... but now... it seems like LGO is going global...
I'm thinking its going to be the next Starbucks... I'm sure plans are already in the works for LGO Bangalore!
They're opening a Postino down the street from me in Central Phoenix !! YEAH... I'm really tired of FEZ.. I can only hope that they change the C-Back/Central corner much they way they changed Arcadia!!
Well, went there last night with my buds and thought we have some of their FANTASTIC white sangria and their wings.. In my opinion... The food of the Gods! OK, yeah... I could have gone to wing-street... or KFC... But as god as my witness... the combo of Sangria and Wings ...mmmmmmmm...
First of all the wings are plump, juicy, large wings... grilled with a savory sauce unlike any I've ever had. Served with a home-made cheesy ranch dip... YUM.. coupled with a house salad.. Wooooo!
The Sangria is AWESOME! Fresh fruit, smooooooth finish.... I can never have just 4... yum...Watch out for Thursday night Cougar nite... they seem to be everywhere! If you dig that stuff... you will be in total heaven!
Here is my review in a nutshell: We live in Chandler and will drive here to pick up a pizza and take it home to eat. It is THAT good and worth the trip.
We always get a margherita pizza with sausage and garlic. We have eaten it in the restaurant, but most of the time we bring it home. My husband turns on our oven to 450 degrees and puts the whole pizza on a pizza stone for about 3 minutes. The pizza is perfect and delicious. We devour it and always wish there was one more piece. As we are reaching for the last pieces I always notice the look on his face (and I know I have the same look) of longing....wishing there was more.
I'm drooling now just thinking about it.
I don't know if I'm reeeally allowed to review this because we didn't actually order anything.
But, I'll give you the rundown.
It was Valentines day, or AZ Statehood day. We arrived after discovering Pizzeria Bianco had a 4-5 hour wait. We called LGO ahead and asked if they were very busy and they said they weren't. Once we arrived we were seated immediately and decided what we wanted and waited. And waited... It was 20 minutes late, and a couple that had just been seated had a waiter immediately. That's when we knew they forgot us, I'm sure the pizza would have been good, but I think customer service is a huge deal so we got outta there! On they way home we decided to order Hungry Howie's instead. Oh well, we were ready to spend $40 on pizza but $20 tasted better anyway.
So, zero stars for being ignored!
This is a great neighborhood pizzeria for me. Chewy, crispy sourdough crust with good quality toppings. I am a fan of the Gladiator (pepperoni, sausage, house-made red sauce) as well as the Padre (fig, prosciutto di san daniele, arugala, ricotta). The burger is not to be overlooked, as it's quite juicy and satisfying. Ask for the fries cooked extra crispy, and they are perfect. If you sit inside, I think the communal table is the best spot, it's more social and the service has been better there.
If you order take-out, pull up to the valet, and they'll keep your car there without having to find a spot. I've done it every time with no problem. Definitely a big fan of LGO.
Ceviche, wings, rosat corn pizza... drooooool.
I have eaten here four or five times and can not find ANYTHING to complain about. Service is constantly spot on, food is always good/consistent, and i LOVE sitting at the bar. I have to agree with Tee D, when i am home for the holiday i will probably feel myself gravitating towards LGO before i brave the hours of wait and hassle at Bianco. It really honestly is just as good but without all the hullabaloo.
They did have a white sangria that was... white (no one told us) and kind of gross but who cares, the mouth watering quality of everything else made that a minor footnote in our dinning experience. Also The gladiator and the padre deserve honorable mention behind my roast corn 'za, all incredible pizzas.
I guess it was bound to happen, people grow apart, love doesn't always last.
It's hard enough to park at your place, but I'd always finagle a way. Just to be near you. Then the neighbors started blocking the side road options, but I was willing to walk to be with you.
I had noticed your growing libido and sophistication, you got into wine. Sometimes you drank too much, but I wasn't concerned, you were witty, you were upscale, you won awards. So you got a bit arrogant and cocky, who wouldn't with all the sudden acclaim?
I thought with time you'd chill out and we'd be cool again.
When you started sharing your fantasies about some Italian chick from Milano, I was somewhat jealous, but you said there was plenty of you to go around. Maybe that would have been the case if you didn't move her into the same block where we hung together. Did you really have to crowd me out that way?
I should have seen the signs back then, but I didn't want to. I'd come by and you were always so busy. I don't want to cramp your style, but I missed your flavor baby. I didn't want to be too clingy, so I didn't come by as often.
Every now and then I'd think back to our first date. The flickering candle and the juicy large grilled wings. Your wings were so good and tempted again I'd head out. On the way I remembered a more recent visit when your wings, like your feelings had started to change. Sometimes burnt, sometimes cold. Your mind wasn't on us, baby. Your mood swings were getting out of control. I suspected that your attention was all on that lovely Milano Chick, but she's a fling and I'm the real deal, so I let you be.
Weeks would go by before I'd talk myself into spending some time with you. I started to be more creative when we made love, customizing the toppings despite the surcharges piling up. Taking our traditional 13 dollar item straight into the stratosphere. Oh you tasted great this way, but the price of these visits were starting to hurt.
I soothed my hurt feelings with the richness of Arlecchino next door. Yeah, if you can love an Italian, so could I baby. He was always willing to lend an ear, to let me cry on his shoulder when you were too busy to give a damn.
I told him about the time when I came over and sat on the couch for 20 minutes before you even realized you had company. You had one of your hipster friends serve me some drinks, telling me you were in the back and would be right out, but you never came. I walked out in tears, but not before a quickie with Arlecchino.
And how another time you made me pay for your bad wings and I didn't catch it on the bill until later, that was underhanded and cold. Arlecchino just nodded and gave me two free samples. He's a considerate partner.
After I walked out that night, you hardly ever called me, but my cravings for the memories of the past would sometimes return. I think of the night we shared that roasted corn and goat cheese, that pitcher of Stella Artois and you introduced me to all your new hipster friends.
So when I came by on Sunday afternoon I was puzzled. You didn't even greet me at the door with a smile. I let myself in. Where did all your hipster friends go, LGO? I was determined not to just sit on the couch being ignored again.
I'll be patient, I'm sure you'll be right over.
So hungry for you, I glimpsed a blond over in the kitchen. I had to know, did she know where you were? Oh, she said, looking at me like I was your mother not lover she said "Those hipster friends don't hang here, just get in line over there and help yourself."
So shocked, you're just a whore now to everyone.
I'm supposed to go over to the meat market, stand in line with the rest of your bitches, tell you what I want without even a welcoming kiss of attention and then get it myself when it's ready? Or I can call ahead and you'll leave some love note on a counter for me to pick up and take home to read alone?
This is how you roll? I'm not even worth a goodbye hug?
So I'm leaving my own little love note to you with my BFF Yelp.
"Baby, when I come over to your place, I want to sit down, be with you one on one, maybe chat with some of your friends. Have them bring me the warm lemon towel when you get my fingers all sticky. I don't want to wait in line like a Mcdonald's, for your attentions, then go serve it to myself. If I wanted to self pleasure I wouldn't be on a date. I finally get it. You're just not that into me anymore. You know what, the feeling is mutual. Consider your poser ass dumped."
Someone tell me where to find pizza in LA that tastes like LGO's!! Please??
I have been gone almost a year, and I am still craving the avocado pizza....
Here's some irony: I moved to New York City and the restaurant I most miss from Phoenix is a pizza place. Especially the sweet potato pizza in the fall!
Sometimes I crave LGO pizza so much I wanna beg friends to dry ice it and ship it to Brooklyn.
(Forgive me, New York.)
I am addicted to "The Padre" pizza--prosciutto di San Daniele, fig, arugula and fresh ricotta... team this up with the Orange Fennel Salad and a bottle of Vietti Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne (2005) available in the grocery and you've got a good night!
The sourdough crust is delicious and I never get that gluggy, heavy feeling in my stomach like I do when eating pizza from some of the big name chains.
I won't complain about the parking but instead suggest that patrons embrace the notion of parking (politely, of course) in the neighborhood and *gasp* walking more than 25 feet to get there. Trust me, it's worth it.
Great Pizza,
Wow,
I haven't been on a date here but if I find one I'm going here on date number 2. Why, because I would look smooth and spontaneous. If we need to wait for our table I'll take her by the hand and go to the grocery store connected to La Grande Orange to pick a bottle of wine.
Dress:
A bit above casual, I wore my crocks and was not totally out of place. If you dress up you won't be out of place either.
Pass Reviews, the only low star reviews.
Jason R. step out of the box, not all restaurants should be the same.
Sheila, Vale parking is cheap right behind the restaurant.
Jason c. Dominos said your a great customer.
The first time I had the "fallen angel" pizza I thought it was good. The fennel flavor came through nicely and the sausage was plentiful and I felt it was worth the $14. Popped in the other night as we were trying to decide if we should make the 2 hour drive home or spend the night in PHX. Ordered the "fallen angel" and this time it wasn't duplicated, lacked flavor, minuscule amount of sausage and the crust was really chewy.
We ordered a fish sandwich for take-away. It had a very fishy smell that permeated through the packaging on our way to our lodging. Our hostess who we had ordered it for declared it overcooked, but than I should know better than to order fish for take-away and from a facility that really doesn't do fish, unless you count the tuna.
They only have one omelet and it's called the Jersey Girl, but why? For what it's worth, it's good, but I wanted a ri-donk-ulous omelette...a trashy one that are found at IHOP, but this place isn't trashy.
I had three cookies (for $2.50 ea.) from here and all of them were delicious. The Betters cookie was white chocolate and chocolate chip oatmeal, and an apple oatmeal one that was hella good, too. Then there's the peanut butter one which was soft and ginormous...well, they were all soft and ginormous, but the peanut butter had sugar crystals sprinkled on top of it.
On the down side, I don't like the fact that it's a jumbled market inside because as everybody waits for their food I just feel like a d-bag who's in everybody's way as I'm standing there waiting for mine. Yes, I do look lost...maybe because I am.
Love to come here early in the morning on the weekend (before 8am). We bring our 17 month in and the loud music covers his early morning noises. The food is fresh and bright and delicioso, the atmosphere is pretty good, the clientele are upscale and eclectic. This is a good spot, except that we are starting to get bit bored by the food. It's great, but we could use a little menu change once in a while. The aforementioned music is usually too loud -and I'm a guy who inhaled and listened to Van Halen I at at full volume for about three years-- but we still love it and the fact that we can get in there without crowds is really a plus.
Best pizza in the valley (before you rip my head off, let me disclose that I have yet to try Bianco). LGO also has pretty good burgers, salads and consistently great sangria. Pretty cool, casual atmosphere. If you're feeling social they have face-to-face seating on both sides a long, community bar.
Best of all, LGO is conveniently located next to the best Gelato in AZ--Arlecchino.
I know this is an oldie but such a goodie!!
From the salads, sandwiches, pastries to pizza. The music is loud, the parking sucks but La Grande Orange has created its own buzz that I enjoy. It has created kind of a bohemian atmosphere with the tribal sounds of brazillian music! Sundays after a climb on camelback make for a great brunch/lunch dealio.
Every time I get a take-out salad from LGO - people always ask me where I got it from. They now have curb-side service so you dont have to aggrivate yourself for a parking spot - YAY!!
Finally got a chance to try this place on Sunday night! Like everyone says parking is difficult, but it wasn't too bad the night we went despite the 20 minute wait we had for a table.
First off, we were seated and Maya took our drink orders....big plus for the boyfriend was the Red Rocket seasonal beer on tap....but then we waited, and waited, and waited to order. Not a big deal, we are patient people. We finally order the Caesar salad, Margarita pizza, the one with pepporoni (see how much of a vegetarian I am? Can't even spell pepporoni) and sausage. We got the Ceasar salad with the dressing on the side, and were not impressed. It was basically an $8 plate of lettuce with a tiny bit of cheese and maybe 8 croutons. Boooooo. I guess that's what I get for trying to be healthy.
The pizza's on the other hand were amazing! I get the margarita where ever we go, and this one tops them all......so yummy and a good amount of basil, cheese, and sliced tomatoes. Big enough for 2, for sure!
After the pizza we went to the grocery and got a big cookie (made at Tammie Coe? next door) and it was chewy, chocolately deliciousness.
We'll definitely be back!
LGO is a great little spot for Sunday lunch after a day of shopping. Located on a corner with more than one restaurant to choose from made parking difficult but we finally found a spot. Pretty crowded for 5:00 on Sunday, but we only had to wait about 20 min. and went next door to check out the grocery store. We were going to get a bottle of wine and open it with dinner but there was a $9 charge to do so, so we opted out.
Tried the ceviche as an app...being a big time ceviche fan I was not really impressed...was that an olive I tasted? hmmm.... now to pizza. Between 5 of us we decided to try the avacado pizza, the fallen angel and the padre (each pizza serves 2). Although I Iove avacado's the lemon on that pizza was just a little too much for me, the fallen angel was good, with tasty fennel sausage, but the padre took the cake! This was the only pizza that had no leftovers, the prosciuto, arugula, fig and ricotta was a combination I had never tried, but was absolutely delicious.
Too bad we were too stuffed for dessert, I would have loved to try the gelato spot next door...maybe next time.
i just made an account on yelp so i could write a review for this place.
i was visiting from California and my friend was like.. "i have to take you to this place! you will love it!"
he was so right.
we got there about 5 minutes before closing time on a saturday night.
they were super cool about it though.
didn't rush us at all.
i had a pizza called "the gladiator."
AMAZING.
we also ordered a kids meal for an appetizer.
it was peanut butter and jelly "sushi."
really cute!
came with french fries, carrots and celery.
the waitress was really nice and helpful.
good about refilling our drinks.
when we were done another waiter came over and chatted with us and got us a to-go box and then continued to tell us the best way to reheat the pizza the next day. he also got us new drinks in to-go cups.. .which is awesome :-)
i highly recommend this place.
everything we ate was REALLY great.
also bought a chocolate cupcake from the bakery.
outstanding.
i will definitely go there again when I'm back in phoenix!
