Florencia Pizza Bistro

We were visiting Ahwatukee and went to Florencia twice, it was awesome both times. Great service, wine selection, salad and pizza. We had the spicy goat. It was great, we highly recommend it.

The pizza and garlic bread was delicious here and the price is unbeatable! Would recommend this place to anyone who likes there pizza cheesy and well flavored.

This little hidden gem in Tukee serves up an A+ pie. It is somewhat small on the inside, so there is a bit of a wait on the weekend even for a party of two. The waitresses are always on top of things and provide A+ service.
We always order the BBQ Chicken za and it definitely deserves an A+! It always comes fresh and cooked perfectly. I am weird and like the crust edges to be a tad burnt, but not tooooo much. Mmm. Burnt edges. The tangy capers in the pizza add a flavor that compliments the sweeter BBQ chicken. They do offer other Italian menu choices, but the za is too good to not get.
It is nice having two places in Ahwatukee that are worth going to in the same complex (Angry Crab). If you are ever in the area and have a craving for a solid pie, this place receives a passing grade.

I really hated to give this place less than 4 stars. I live very close, and all the rave reviews…
I actually searched the reviews to see if ANYONE had a similar opinion.
Yes! Chrystal hit the nail on the head in my opinion. You see, I didn’t order thin crust, but the crust was soooo thin you can’t even pick it up. Just limp and thin as paper. But without being at all crispy.
I was very disappointed. I was also very hungry. So I tried to lift out a limp piece and dig in. Really needed to be eaten with a fork and knife.
Not much cheese either.
The good part is the actual toppings were fresh and there was a decent amount of them.
This could have been a very good pizza; if it had a crust that was edible. And it would have helped if the pizza had been hot! It was cold, and I got there 10 minutes early to pick it up. I’ve had pizza delivered that were actually hot! Hmmmm… Getting close to two stars when I think of it.
I don’t think I will give it another shot — even mentioning a thicker crust. You see, Spinatos is the best, and I even like Rosatis better. And I always get thin crust at those two– and they’re crispy and yummy! And they both deliver.
But I gave Florencia 3 stars because the toppings were very good.

We loved the pizza and beer and plan to return as frequently as possible! Tables are spaced out and its not noisy — good service too.

Great calzone and chicken parmigiana sandwich but limited menu. Need more choices to keep me interested.

Tried this place out for the first time on Halloween. Went around lunch time. When you walk in, you are greeted with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. We ordered the bruschetta, and a medium pizza. They allowed us to do ½ gladiator and ½ Mykonos. SOOOOOO GOOD!!! Like I said before, the wait staff was friendly and quick with service and recommendations.
DEFINITELY GOING BACK!

Expensive yes, delicious yes. Best pizza I have had in
Phoenix since I moved here in May. Would give 5 stars on taste but the price was a little high.

I’ve been hitting 3 different pizza joints regularly during my time here in Phoenix — Rosati’s when I have a deep dish jones, Grimaldi’s when I have a coal oven pizza jones and Bianco’s when I just want a delish artisanal experience.
However yesterday I wanted to break out of this rut and saw a review of Spinato’s by a guy named «Bob» and he gave some props to Florencia’s Pizza on Ray Rd. The review steered me from Spinato’s and drew my attention. I will be sending him a private message of thanks in just a bit cos he was right on point regarding Florencia’s.
Florencia’s is thinner crust and perfect char, not cracker crunchy and not chewy; the sauce, cheese and toppings were fresh, flavorful and pair very well with the crust. Not a whole lot of grease either despite the fact I had pepperoni and bacon as two of my toppings.
Yeah I’m a fan. Thanks Unilocal… you did me right… again!

One of the best pizza places in the valley. Everything we have had here is superb! Get the meatball appetizer. So Good.

Great local restaurant. Food is excellent and service is good as well. Get here early on Fridays and Saturdays. Fills up quickly and not the biggest restaurant.

As always the pizza and service is excellent.
Meat pizza and Pomodoro exceeded expectations! Yum

Since moving to Ahwatukee, my family has been in search of good pizza that we all can agree on. I discovered this place through a friend who is a regular. After trying it and being impressed by it, I took my family there. We each ordered our own pizza and instantly fell in love. Each of us loved the fact that it wasn’t greasy and that everything tasted so fresh. We have been back several times since.
My suggestion is the Snow White with some artichoke hearts added.

We have been going to Florencia for years. The food is awesome and the owner
makes you feel so welcomed each and every time. Hannah, Ashley are the best
servers ever. We bring family, friends and have gatherings here whenever we can.
If it is Friday, then it is Florencia Friday!

I’ve visited this local pizzaria with friends after a bike ride and found the staff friendly and accomodating. The atmosphere is comfortable and the pizza is delicious. I like thin crust baked slightly crispy so it doesn’t droop. It was perfect. The options for toppings are endless and locals have created some flavorful combinations for those without imagination. Bar is stocked and beer is cold. Cheers!

Incredible. Fresh ingredients. Incredible crust. Incredible sauce. Incredible dessert. Go.

I’m conflicted about writing a great review because I love this place so much that I don’t want it to get too popular!
The crust is THE BEST in town. The sauce is not too sweet, not too spicy — it’s just right!
We love the pantagonian but you can’t go wrong with the classic pepperoni.
Try the mista salad too. Sooooo delicious. Save room for the pizza cookie.
The service is reliable and friendly. Keep it up, Florencia!!!

I came here because of the good rating on Unilocal,but when I arrived, I was kind of put-​off by the interior. This is not a fancy place. But… that’s not why you’re here. You’re here because they have awesome pizza.
The service is good — nothing to rave about, but friendly enough, and they kept my drink full. The pizza on the other hand, was incredible. I didn’t go off of the menu — I created my own, so I won’t just brag about my incredible sense of taste, but the ingredients were very fresh, and the pizza was cooked to perfection.
A little bit more atmosphere could kick this place up to 5 stars easily, but hey, if you want atmosphere go somewhere else. If you want awesome pizza, stop in here.

We had the antipasto salad and margahrita pizza the food was outstanding and deserves four stars!
I am giving the service 3 stars it was almost ok. The server did not even tell us her name and had no interactions with us other than to bring our food! No energy in this place whatsoever! Service definitely needs some work! A little sad that customer service e is lacking! Don’t know if we will be back for a while as we feel we should spend our money on good food and great service.

DISGUSTING
I had hoped the pizza would have been a nice change from the chain stores.
Boy was i wrong.
I got 2 pizzas. I will describe each one separately. We got the pizzas to go. I live about 1.5 miles from the store.
The Margherita.
As soon as i opened the box, i knew it was garbage. Imagine a piece of dough, SMOTHERED in sauce, with about 5 blobs of cheese on it. I dont know where this is considered pizza, but im glad i do not live there. The pizza was cold. the crust was undercooked, and was stuck to the butcher paper in the box. Even after re-​cutting the entire pizza, when me or my kids tried to pull a pice out, all the sauce and cheese (If that piece actually had cheese on it, because yes, some slices didnt have any cheese at all) just slid into the box, leaving us with a flimsy, cold piece of dough.
EPIC FAIL
The Patagonian.
This pizza was just a shard better, as far as flavors go.
But, it also was cold, undercooked, and stuck to the paper in the box.
And lets not forget the prices. LMAO! I thought Papa Johns was over priced. Florencia has them beat, hands down! I do not know what you are paying for, but i DO know that i will NEVER give them another penny, and i will do my best to let as many people know about this failure as i can.

We ate here for the first time this evening! The pizza had ok flavor but the crust was absolutely paper thin and horrible. We couldn’t even lift the pizza with our hands to eat it.
The environment was pleasant and the staff were very kind.
We asked our waitress when she came back to the table if this was the way all of their crust was and she said «No, you can specify what kind of crust you like when you order». My concern was that she didn’t ask us when we ordered our pizza, she assumed we wanted extra thin pan crust.
If you like real crust (thicker than paper) do NOT eat here!

They have great pizza! The service is great! An Ahwatukee favorite for locals and visitors !
Calzones, salads and nice draft beer selection! The hostess Marrin is awesome!
Took the time to talk to us!

I’ve been eating food from Florencia Pizza Bistro for over 10 years now, and not once have I actually dined in! *gasp*
Every single order has been pick-​up. Never have met any employee here with a bad attitude, on the phone or at the bar.
I will say though, inside the décor is cute. Various wall hangings, somewhat dark for mood.
So yeah, my suggestion will be pretty simple.
If you’re here for pizza and you order anything but the Putanesca Pizza: You’re doing it wrong!
Garlic and olive oil instead of traditional sauce, chicken, a generous scattering of capers and kalamata olives, red onion and sliced tomatoes.
It’s the perfect combination of savory and salty flavors. The crust is melt in your mouth status.
What more could you ask for?
Oh wine, duh. Pizza and Netflix night is incomplete without my old friend Pinot Noir.
Check it out for consistently delicious pizza!
Hope Florencia stays open for a long time. Maybe we’ll finally dine-​in one of these days we’re paying a visit to the ol’ ‘Tuke.
