    Ordered food for the first time through grub hub and what a surprise! Called the restaurant and after almost 10 min of conversation where they couldn’t even see our order a very rude manager gets on the phone who sounded very rushed and impatient. Then in a rude tone she told me that I should have known that the driver has to place the order on behalf of Grubhub and then wait 50 more minutes for food to be done. Seems like she was not interested in our orders all that much. This tells me they don’t care much about their customers. Ordered two calzones, they were large and ordinary. Absolutely over priced food. We love great Italian food; however we re not sure whether we would order food from this restaurant again because if their behavior and first impression. Despite our experience, I would recommend as the food was not bad. Give it s a try if you want to pay premium price for regular food.

    This place has great food and service. The Barry's Pesto Bread is a delicious appetizer or meal. The flavor and texture of the walnuts pairs nicely with the jalapeño, pesto, and mozzarella. The pizza crust is a nice combo of crispy and soft. The toppings are fresh and work well with the crust. The restaurant is surrounded by nice foothill and mountain views. The interior had a nice, soft lit ambiance. It's a gem in the Ahwatukee Foothills.

    My family has been coming to Florencia's since they originally opened in Mesa probably over 20 years ago (cant remember when exactly), and ever since then they have not once disappointed! Val & his team are always on point with their customer service, and the food is some of the best, if not THE best in the valley! Quality ingredients, quality service, quality atmosphere, what else can you ask for? Their specialty pizza options are great, too. I highly recommend the Bravo pizza - olive oil base, goat cheese, italian sausage & fennel! They definitely will continue to have customers for life here!

    Great find! Super service, dark and cozy dining room, meals came out quick and delicious. If we lived in the area, this would be one we would return to again and again

    Very delicious pizza! We had the combo pizza and it was great. The crust tasted very good and wasn't too thick or too thin. Also had garden salads that were fresh, crisp and delicious.

    This is my families favorite pizza spot. We love that they have a patio! The staff is great and the pizza is amazing. My husband tried the calzone recently and said it was best one he has ever had. He is from NY and still agrees Florencia is the best around!

    I really enjoyed the food I got but my sister didn't care for the GF crust. It wasn't busy but the service was slow and they only refilled our drinks once.

  • 2/5 Maxwell P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointed with this restaurant. I got a promotion from UberEats and since I’d never eaten from this place before, I decided to try it. Two different orders were cancelled because they weren’t accepting orders and then technically problems. I have no idea if this place is any good or not and now I’ll never know, because they lost my business.

  • 5/5 Alexandra D. 1 year ago on Google
    The employees were really sweet and helpful. The food WOW. The pizza is 100% my fave pizza. Will come again and will definitely recommend to anyone

  • 3/5 BiG N. 1 year ago on Google
    This was our first visit to this establishment. There's a unique decor and atmosphere with real plants.. Which was a huge plus for my GF.. The food was not bad but was lacking.. The prices here on average are pricey based on portion size, flavor and quality... Nobody is perfect and I will always be fair in my reviews.. So, I will return to Florencia's for another opportunity for them to wow my taste buds..

  • 5/5 Vincent Del F. 1 year ago on Google
    We love this place! We moved from Ahawtukee to Fountain Hills and any time we have a chance to take family and friends for dinner Florencia is the place! The pizza dough is Magnificent, we have been eating here for the past 18+ years and better the service and food everything has been amazing. Thanks Val

  • 5/5 Debbie B. 1 year ago on Google
    My experience has been nothing but Sterling for 21 years. Every time food is consistent and delicious. Wonderful service and bathrooms are so clean you can eat off the floor!

  • 5/5 BAM B. 2 years ago on Google
    We are new to the neighborhood so first time of many more to come. I ordered the Winchester with ricotta. My spouse ordered the Hawaiian. Both were delicious! Also, both were great cold. It is obvious by the crust, and condiments that the ingredients are quality. Service was on par. Atmosphere is good and outdoor seating while limited was comfortable. Looking forward to working our way through the menu and becoming regulars. Great experience all around!

  • 4/5 Nicholas H. 4 years ago on Google
    Lot of different pizza options and all of them are great, but the place can be a tad dark at times. Services is good and friendly. Have good salads and some sandwich options if you don't want a pizza.

  • 5/5 Ken V. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best meatball subs around. Awesome staff!!

  • 5/5 Mallory S. 4 years ago on Google
    We went here on a date night. Great little place that I didn’t know about but we’ll definitely be back! Tasty food, nice atmosphere, great service!

  • 5/5 James M. 4 years ago on Google
    Another local gem. Everything is fresh and quality ingredients go into the food. Definitely a great spot for a good meal and libations with a chill atmosphere.

  • 5/5 Global Bikes A. 4 years ago on Google
    Our shop's go to when we are hungry. Nobody here will ever turn down good pizza for lunch so it makes it easy to feed the crew. We love the quality of the ingredients and there are lots of topping options.

  • 5/5 Meghan D. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious food! We stopped in here one night on a whim and we're glad that we did. Lots people were at the bar watching a game, and it was a fun atmosphere. We didn't feel rushed and thought the service was great. Will definitely be back.

  • 5/5 Brian T. 8 months ago on Google
    My girlfriend had ordered our favorite pizza from our favorite pizzeria via GrubHub pickup to make use of the monthly $10 discount. Unfortunately Florencia isn't well aligned with GrubHub - maybe because it competes with and limits the rewards of their dedicated delivery drivers but that's a shot in the dark. The bottom line is my order wasn't input from the GrubHub system into an actual order for the kitchen to prepare. However, they rushed my order through while the place was absolutely packed, and allowed me the beverage of my choosing while waiting for the food to be prepared. No experience is truly perfect and personal reviews are often subjective at best and relative by nature. The fact is the management and workers really care about the service they provide and the atmosphere in which they provide it,and as far as I'm concerned they handle any mistakes with genuine concern and a fair, graceful effort. Kudos.

    Incredible pizzeria! The pesto appetizer was especially tasty, and so was the rest of the food.

  • 1/5 James W. 4 months ago on Google
    Sauce was too sweet tasting, crust was chewy and tasted off/sweet. Thick slices of garlic randomly topped. I’m surprised by the amount of 5 star reviews. Either people in Ahwatukee are being too nice, don’t know what pizza should taste like, or fake reviews.

  • 4/5 Arnold B. 3 months ago on Google New
    My brother suggested we go to Florencia Pizza and I was a bit hesitant. I actually like pizza, I just don't like a lot of dough. The pizza we split was surprisingly good. A nice, thin, crisp crust rather than tons of chewy dough. I had the Bo-Be which was pesto and I liked it. So, another visit would not be out of the question at all.

  • 5/5 Jeff A. 2 months ago on Google New
    Always a wonderful meal at Florencia! Born and raised in NJ made me a pizza snob at a very early age. Now we all have our favorite style, but for me, Florencia nails it every time. Hand tossed perfectly cooked crust, every time. Great appetizers and service is way above average for a pizza place. I shall return, repeatedly!

  • 5/5 Thomas G. 3 months ago on Google New
    I have followed Florencia pizza since they first started in Huntington Park California. After they have left. I could not find them and when I moved out here to Mesa Arizona. AA friend of mine told me that they loaded out here towards Chandler. It is the number one place. I go in there. And I still see the old workers. And the is the best pizza place that anybody can ever go to. They were located in Huntington Park for more than 10 years. We used to go down there every Friday. What stay opened up? I even had a couple friends that used to work there now that they're located out here in Arizona. I still go there. It is the number one place that you can ever go to better than borrows. Pizza, because this is more authentic and more homemade. Nothing like having Cornmeal spread on the bottom of the Pan when they bake. The a pizza it is so it is so delicious. I recommend anybody to go in there and always ask for Val.

    If you want great pizza then go to Grimaldi’s Pizzeria at 7131 W. Ray Road it’s down the street!!!!! The sad part of this place, is the waitresses keep asking if we wanted a to go box for their burnt pizza. Hell No, Save your money!!!!!!!!! Save your time!!!!!!!!!! Go to Grimaldi’s, they know how to cook awesome pizza!!!!!!!!!!

  • 5/5 Lisa K. 11 months ago on Google
    In all the years I have lived in Ahwatukee, this was the 1st time I had eaten there. The food was delicious. Had the create your own calzone, and it was cooked perfectly. Others had pizza, and it was also delicious. The service could have been better, but it will not stop me from going there again.

  • 5/5 Mathew S. 6 months ago on Google
    We moved close a few years ago. Always a go to any night, we also like to bring house guests by. Lots of grapes to drink. Yum.

  • 5/5 Mary T. 4 years ago on Google
    The garlic bread & pizza was delicious!! The waitress was so polite & we felt so welcomed.

  • 5/5 Kimberly W. 7 months ago on Google
    Wow.. what a gem. I have lived in Ahwatukee for 10+ years, and this is my first time visiting. Great variety on the menu. The crust is perfect. Enjoyed our first pesto pizza.. soooo delicious!! The service was phenomenal... thank you, Maddie. We will be back !!!!

  • 5/5 Cindy G. 7 months ago on Google
    Such a great spot! The staff and management have been very friendly & accommodating when we have reserved the patio for large surprise birthday parties. Always in the best hands with Gabby! The margarita pizza is a must have!

  • 4/5 James C. 7 months ago on Google
    The food was great. The server was very friendly. We asked for some specific preparation for a couple of our meals and the team executed our meal without issues. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is that the host er (hostess?) was cold, unfriendly and seemingly disinterested. Did not seem to want to welcome or assist us. Very odd. After arriving this person almost caused us to leave to dine elsewhere. However once we were able to be seated the rest of the experience was wonderful.

  • 3/5 TJ 10 months ago on Google
    Ordered custom calzone w/ pepperoni. Employees were nice when I arrived. Calzone was a good size, two layers of cheese and meat. Came with a decent size of marinara sauce (wasn't very flavorful). I'd say this was okay but overall flavor was lacking. Aside this, was overcharged. On the website, the custom is priced at $11.99 + 1.75/topping. Should have been 13.74+tax. Somehow was charged $16.28. Would recommend the calzone at Vero Chicago Pizza over this one, better price and flavor.

  • 4/5 Mark P. 11 months ago on Google
    Cool little neighborhood pizza place. The server we had was very nice and attentive. I had high expectations for this pizza based on the pictures. The crust was cooked perfectly but overall it was just lacking flavor. We also ordered the classic pesto bread. Once again, great potential but ended up just being bland.

  • 5/5 Lenny G. 1 year ago on Google
    Took my pizza-loving friend here for her birthday. We both agree this is the best pizza we’ve ever had since moving to Arizona. Rachel, our server, was great. Will definitely be back.

  • 4/5 emmett s. 3 years ago on Google
    The capistria salad was excellent. The balsamic dressing is just right. the pizza looed great but could use more flavor perhaps the sausage could be more garlicky?

  • 5/5 Julie S. 4 years ago on Google
    We’ve been coming here since 2007 and have never had a bad experience ever!! The salads and pizza are the absolute VERY BEST! We’ve never had bad service. Always top notch!! They honestly should get an award for best pizza!

  • 5/5 Calvin K. 4 years ago on Google
    Best pizza this side of South Mountain!

  • 3/5 Sunn S. 4 years ago on Google
    Is this a fried green tomato pizza? My kid was done with his sandwich before I got this. First round had a cup of tomato that was red. Too bad it wasn't on the pizza instead of on the side.

  • 5/5 S L. 4 years ago on Google
    Florencia has the best pizza around! The dough is always fresh, the sauce is delicious and it’s got plenty of cheese. You can also get it to make at home. Great family restaurant!

  • 5/5 Gary B. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent Italian cuisine in a very nice Chandler neighborhood! Very good service. Delicious food.

  • 5/5 Ryan K. 3 years ago on Google
    Tasty pizza with delicious crust. Variety of specialty pizzas. Different types of cheese breads are interesting. The Barry is ok. Would like to try the others

  • 1/5 Sidney M. 3 years ago on Google
    Never going back to Florencia again. They don't answer the phone (26 calls one day) , then kept me waiting over 45 minutes for a pizza i ordered. Then I got a snotty reply from young lady behind counter. Good pizza, not good customer service.

  • 5/5 Night P. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is a classic amongst my friends. Calizones are a must try and pizzas are all great!

  • 5/5 Jeremy W. 3 years ago on Google

    Love the pizza at Florencia. Great red sauce, cheese and the best mushrooms ever to top my pizza.

  • 5/5 Shandon S. 6 years ago on Google
    Great food, cozy & quiet atmosphere, and excellent service. The pizza here has fresh ingredients and is cooked just right. Our server Taylor was very personable and attended to our every need. Good place for a date night or for families.

  • 5/5 Deborah K. 4 years ago on Google
    We've ordered from Florencia's on several occasions. Great variety of fresh pizzas and salads. They also offer a cauliflower crusty. Always ready when they say. Nice bar area where take outs are picked up and paid for. Friendly and helpful staff.

  • 5/5 Rick H. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent pizza right near home. We'll definitely be back again for more! Tons of different options to choose from.

  • 1/5 Joel W. 3 years ago on Google
    Pretty disappointing considering the high ratings. Pizzas were not warm upon delivery and one was not made as ordered. Mozzarella sticks were really bad. Soggy and cold.

  • 5/5 Italiano L. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to have dinner with the kids, tons of pizzas on the menu. Everyone can get what they want because they have all the sizes from personal to XLarge. The caprese salad we had was fantastic, fresh delicious. Save room for their chocolate chip cookie, hot covered with vanilla ice cream. Treat yourself, it's worth it!! This place has great service, the pizza crust is delicious, the toppings are generous and everyone loved it. We will be back soon!!

    Val and crew always rocks out on service and tasty food! Enjoyed a couple of Balast Point beers and took home a yummy caesar salad, clasic pesto bread and a spinach calzoni!! Always a fun atmosphere i side the restaurant with the 3 tvs showing different sporting events. Highly recommend!! It was nice to have a chance to chat with Val for a few minutes last night - Sept. 21. Always relaxing sitting at the bar with college football on the tvs. My combo pizza and caesar salad were both so tasty!! Just finished the pizza for breakfast!! Thanks Val and team!!

  • 4/5 Christopher W. 4 years ago on Google
    Our go to place for pizza in Ahwatukee. I have not found better and I know pizza. Prices are a little high but you get what you pay for. Friendly and fast service even on Friday nights.

    Great pizza. Thin crust but nice texture.

  • 5/5 Stephanie S. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was very good & always with a smile. Never had an empty glass of iced tea. My chicken, pesto & kalamata calzone was perfect in every way. Been here many times & it's always a great meal.

  • 5/5 sam k. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is wonderful. The food is good and the waitress was wonderful. Friendly atmosphere. They do serve Italian style pizza. No wings though.

  • 5/5 Roger F. 4 years ago on Google
    Very good New York style pizza. Thin and crispy. Not runny like NYPD. Not overly salty or oily. Wait staff very attentive. Coming back!

  • 5/5 Breanna E. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered originally from Postmates and the order arrived in poor condition. After postmates failed to deliver any form of customer service- I called in. They quickly offered to remake the order and we went there to eat it. Not only was the pizza the best I’ve had since leaving NY, but the waitress Hannah was super friendly, kind, and told us the story of how the establishment came to be. The inside is beautiful, and I could keep going on. But Hannah really made a huge difference. We won’t get pizza anywhere else again!

  • 4/5 D T. 4 years ago on Google
    Probably one of the better pizza restaurants in Ahwatukee. Brick oven type crusts, well done quality pizzeria

  • 5/5 Nancy A. 4 years ago on Google
    I have had pizza in the valley just about everywhere. All I can say is that this pizza stands out as one of the best. The flavor and the crust. You must try this pizza establishment. The service is great and the owner came over to check on our table and was very friendly.
