Otto Pizza & Pastry

Not bad. They are a quick and easy lunch spot in downtown Tempe. I get slices for lunch once in a while. A little heavy on the grease but while I rarely eat crust, I do eat theirs.

Let me start off by saying that I really wanted to leave a higher score when I walked into this place. I love the mom and pop/family owned aspect of it and the people seem to be awesome. No Margherita option is an automatic -1 point for me. No fresh basil? Really? A stong positive, their crust is amazingly thin (in a beautiful way) and really crispy, I’d dare to say perfect. However, they don’t account for the thinness and load on too much cheese! I love cheese, but it’s too much in pairing with the crust. Have some money and ease up on the cheese, especially towards the middle of the pie to the undercarriage stays solid. The sauce is good - slightly above average. Reduce the cheese, take the savings and buy some San Marzano tomatoes to use in the sauce and and buy some fresh basil and this place would easily be in the high 8 range and maybe even in the 9’s. This is a gem with some small changes.

Really good NY style pie. This will not disappoint.

Crisp bottom and good flavor. Good solid pizza.

Buffalo milk mozzarella. Housemade dough. Fresh sauce. Thin New York style. Best pizza in the Phoenix!

I really enjoyed this pie. Mine was quite thin on the crust, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The crust also had a satisfying crunch to it, though a touch more would not detract from the pie. The cheese was my favorite part: thick, gooey, and chewy. Right amount of grease on the pie too.

Classic New York style. Really good sauce but the dough could be better

nice hold, puffy dough, eat fresh

Went back since my first review of a 7.1 and let me tell you, it has gotten better! It was already a strong AZ pie as AZ has pretty awful options for good pies but this one continues to impress. Also the cannoli is a 3.5/5 but still good.

Solid Pie would go back but for that 8.2 Pizza roll you also see in the picture (meatball pizza roll)

Clean pie 👌🏻

floppy. too floppy. best pizza in the area but the crust used to be better

Easily the most underrated pizza at ASU. Most people don’t seem to even know this place exists, yet I think this is the best pizza in Tempe. Only a couple other places even come close. Very consistent, always know what you’re gonna get. Nice crust that has a subtle crisp, yet isn’t too thin. Overall very good pie

Nice light, buttery crust. Solid cheese to sauce ratio. And it’s cheap
