Twisted Pies Pizzeria

Good pizza great price. Spicy Italians the bomb!!! Staff was friendly and served your self serve drinks. Will be back.

Wifey likes the sauce and I like the cheese, can’t beat a combination like that! Wings are made extra crispy as we requested. Hole-​in-​the-​wall place, that I hope stays that way.

I really don’t come on here often to write a review, unless I really enjoy it or really hate it even… But this is a really love it review! My husband and 2 little girls came here last night. We just moved and we’re looking for a new pizza place in the area. We were thinking of going to Barro’s actually because that’s one of my favorite pizza places, but aren’t too fond of how expensive it can get. My husband found this place on Unilocal and it’s not super close to us but with the good reviews it was worth venturing out a couple more miles then just our neighborhood choices (which are whack by the way.) I won’t lie I was skeptical at first, judging by the complex this place is in because there’s nothing appealing in this older run down strip mall. Upon walking in we were warmly greeted by whom I’m assuming is the owner. He always had a smile on his face and was very courteous and friendly. We were happy about the wing Wednesday deal because we are always looking for good deals and love wings with our pizza. We ordered honey hot wings and a 14in pizza wth pineapple and bacon. Everything came out piping hot and fresh! Everything was delicious. The bacon was some huge fatty pieces of real bacon on there. The wings, where they do this deep fry ten bake thing is on point! Even my 6 year old who won’t eat «spicy» wings devoured one and wanted more. My only complaint (literally) was the cups of ranch needed to be filled up more. We got 2 nice size cups at first but they were barely half full. I love ranch with my pizza and wings and so does my husband. We asked for 2 more and they were then smaller cups sow what filled up but I needed up finishing my ranch and still needing more but we didn’t want to be annoying and ask for more ranch just for one more wing and a couple bites of pizza. So fill up those ranches and when we say extra ranch, were pretty serious about it lol! Last, (and saving the best for last) the sauce on the pizza was so delicious! He told me it is homemade and boy could I tell! Im not even one to notice something like this either but I’m obsessed with the sauce. I’m wanting to go back to try their spaghetti now! We’re definitely new fans of this place and will be bringing many more family and friends here!

Found them on Unilocal*this morning and decided to give them a try this afternoon.
First of all, they are very minimal, only been in business for 6 months and still making a go of it. The Owner went out of her way to make sure that everything was great, it wasn’t if you compare them to other restaurants. Because they are so new and doing all the work themselves, I think they deserve the leeway. They weren’t busy when we walked in and another gentleman walked in after we ordered that had read an article about them 4 months ago. I thought to myself that if people don’t start coming to enjoy this place and help it get better that they might not have a chance to later.
Now for the food, The owner told us the meat and veggies are fresh cut daily, the flour and tomatoes are from Italy. The deep fried pizza is for personal pizza’s only to speed the process up for people that are pressed for time. You might call it a personal pizza, but it was more than enough for me. Some people compared it to an Elephant ear fluffy, I wouldn’t say that at all. I thought it was crispy and well cooked, Really liked it a lot! We also had the wings, which were on the small size and not as crispy as I thought they would be. Still good though.
I have to say that a small place like this is worth the effort, because you can see the effort the owners are putting into the place. I’ll be back and quite possibly make it a habit of mine!

Family business. Been open for about 8 months. Very nice owners. I thought the pizza was delicious. The homemade sauce was so good. The right amount of everything on it. Next time will be the wings. I def recommend this place for pizza. Plus you get to support small business.

We have been here several times, always excellent pizza! The dining area is a little small, but it isn’t an issue since it seems almost all their business is delivery.

Had a coupon and thought why not try it out. I heard from a friend that it was really delicious pizza. WRONG! Took family from out of town there. Mistake. Felt so bad. Ordered two pizzas. Both over cooked! Both burnt on bottom. Hard and like cardboard :(
One was too greasy on top. The wings we ordered? We ordered HOT. .. they weren’t even mild!!! Pretty much tasteless. My son, who hasn’t met a pizza he didn’t like. .. said it was BAD! We will NOT be back. And will tell every one we know, not to go.
Oh, and I agree, like in previous reviews. .. it’s a pretty dirty and run down place.
NOPE. Won’t be back.

We went to this place last night with our kids. There was a decently sized dine in area with booths and tables. Service was efficient and friendly. We ordered wings, cheesy bread, a 12 inch cheese pizza, and a 10 in deep-​fried crust pepperoni and cheese. The wings and cheesy bread came out first. I had to wait to try the bread because I couldn’t put the wings down. They were amazing! The crust of the cheesy bread had a slight crunch on the outside while being fluffy on the inside. When the pizza came out, our kids devoured the cheese while my wife and I had the deep fried crust pepperoni. The deep fried crust was amazing. Somewhat hard to describe, sort-​of like a non-​sweet elephant ear. Very light and airy while still having a satisfying crunch. All the ingredients were remarkably fresh, and the sauce at this place is AMAZING. Lastly, the prices were VERY reasonable. We ate for less than I would usually expect when taking the family out, and had plenty to take home as well.
Being from Chicago, we have found it hard to find new pizza places that serve truly great pizza. While this isn’t Chicago style pizza, it is very approved by a Chicago family that are somewhat pizza snobs. We will be back.

Small place in an old Mesa strip mall. Very unassuming exterior. Seems clean inside. Pizza was very good, with a peppery sauce and good pepperonis. Dinner salad was fresh and crisp. Wings were not well sauced, almost dry. Maybe you need to ask for extra sauce. We would definitely order from here again.

After having been in the foodservice business for 14 years and being Italian I was not impressed with the interior of the café or the pizza. Even though the pizza did have a fair flavor to it the crust was a little tough and over cooked. Three of use shared a pizza and we all came up with the same feelings.
The café portion itself looked like it was put together on a very tight budget and the electrical outlets looked dangerous. The soda dispenser was out of service and he was selling over priced bottled soft drinks.
I am sorry but once was enough for the three of us. (Together we have 43 years in the foodservice industry)

If I could give them more stars I would, this is hands down the best pizza this city has to offer, their prices are cheaper than the chain pizza restaurants and 100X better! You can tell from the moment you open that box that these ingredients are of the best quality and prepared with care and passion, this is small family owned and operated business they are good people, support your local businesses!
Everyone and their mother should try Twisted Pies!

I’ve been here twice and it’s my favorite pizza in Mesa. The homemade marina is the secret, and the Spicy Pizza with fresh jalapeños is my favorite choice there. The wings are good, I’ve had the boneless and traditional, definitely go with the traditional — but the real reason why you go here is because the pizza, made by the owner who is in the kitchen working hard everyday, is simply the best.

Delicious! Went based on Unilocal reviews. The Wednesday special was for a full order of wings. It’s not something we’d normally get, but decided to give them a try in honey Hot. We also had the pesto pizza. Would totally recommend both. I always look for a good crust on a pizza to set it above another. This one was top notch. They had a lot of delicious sounding pies on the menu. Looking forward to trying others in the future. Great price point and friendly service also made this place an excellent find.

Twisted Pies has awesome pizza, salad and wings by far. The wait can be a little longer than usual but so worth it. Friendly owners and a place that keeps improving on their service. They seem to have tons of take out orders so we order by phone and eat it there when we pick it up.
You gotta try it!
Great prices
Great quality of food
Great people that work at twisted Pies.
Welcome to the neighborhoods

The pizza was pretty good, and salads very good. Friendly, small, family run place where the food is pretty good. HOWEVER… The dining room was deplorable. I mean, it was terribly run down. There was an old, crusty/​rusty deep fryer next to the soda machine, just sitting there. Seriously, take it out back, put it in an alley, store it somewhere else. On the way to the bathroon, there was a broken (glass) picture frame in the hall where some kid could injure themselves on that. Truly a hazard. Bathroom looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in 3 weeks, waste paper basket was overflowing, etc. I think this place could be OK, and I’d love to change my review if I ever made it back there (don’t live close by). But, pay attention to some details, clean the joint up, splash on some fresh paint, put up some newer decorations, etc. The condition of the place far outweighed the quality of food.

This is real pizza folks! They don’t cut corners. fresh, authentic ingredients and truely authentic dough/​crust. Very nice, friendly people too.
I can’t remember the last time I had pizza this good. Really.
I’m driving over a hundred miles for physical therapy and found this jewel on Unilocal

This appears to be a family owned and operated business and it is excellent. Number one, the pizza is excellent, we had the Supreme and I don’t believe I have ever seen such huge slices of pepperoni. The owner told us that everything was homemade and we could tell, the tomato sauce was unlike any we have ever had — it was chunky and tasty and I didn’t need my usual heartburn pill afterward. What a pleasant surprise.
Everyone was very friendly, the service was excellent and we enjoyed our visit. We went to this restaurant because we heard rave reviews about the quality and tastiness of the pizza. We will be back.

Went with family to Twisted Pies tonight for the first time and really enjoyed our experience. We tried the white garlic pizza and the margarita, along with some wings and house salads. Fantastic all around. Hot, tasty wings with a nice sauce (mild in this case because of other family members). Generous fresh house salads (not the typical little brown bowl with iceberg lettuce and shredded carrot matchsticks). Best of everything were the pizzas: super fresh, very well balanced, and delicious crust (the heart of any great pizza).
The owner came out and chatted with us. He definitely believes in doing as much as possible (if not everything) from scratch and using quality ingredients. It definitely comes through in the food!
Twisted pies isn’t fancy or pretentious. Personally I could care less. It’s a small family run place… the best kind of place to my mind. With food as good as they’re serving up, Twisted Pies is a great new find in an area that sorely needs some good Italian. We’ll be dining there again for sure.

Five stars! Excellent pizza, wings & service! The owners will go out of their way to make it just how you want. They don’t skimp on the toppings, either. The best homemade sauce with chunks of tomatoes, the crust is thin but not too thin & cooked to perfection, real, fresh mushrooms, red onions & the biggest, best pepperoni. Very cheesy, too. My first time trying today & I’ll definitely be back. Thank you, Mike & Rachel!

Twisted Pies Pizzeria is a local family-​owned business that distinguishes itself as a pizzeria — which is to say that they are serious about their craft.
Offered is freshly made to order New York Italian style pizza and twice cooked wings for dine in, pickup or delivery. I chose to order online via Unilocal and was treated to a minute by minute update as to the progress of my order from placing the order to the restaurant receiving the order to a knock at my door. .. nice touch.
The pizza has a nice ratio of topping to sauce to crust thickness. The crust is both crispy and has a bit of a chew to it — kudos to the mastery of such a recipe and a proper bake in the oven; perhaps it is the special Italian flour used in the dough or just knowing the precise daily humidity and barometric pressure and then knowing how many times to knead the dough accordingly. The sauce is certainly fresh tasting and has a great balance of sweet to acid to spice to viscosity; again, using San Marzano tomatoes and fresh garlic makes this difference. The quality of the cheese and toppings is apparent in taste and texture ensuring a consistent bite each time without the cheese sliding off the saucy crust or the toppings falling off between bites; both are also freshly sliced and grated — apparent by taste and appearance.
Care and love exist at this pizzeria and are put into each pie made and it reflects in taste. The wings are done well, which is to say that they are twice cooked: first fried then baked. This gives both a proper texture to the skin and allows the sauce to coat the wing evenly yet still have hints of char on them fulfilling the primal taste buds of grilled meat. Offered are four kinds of sauce: Mild, Hot, BBQ and Spicy BBQ. The BBQ sauce complements the cook of the wings as being not too sweet or smokey or spicy. The mild wings are not greasy nor are they overly spiced or sauced.
I found the flavors to be on par with the better pizza and wings I have had, however, I thought both the pizza and two flavors of wings were on the salty side; being as I tolerate salt fairly well, I am guessing that most will find the saltiness a bit much, perhaps the chef was a bit heavy handed on this day.
Overall, Twisted Pies Pizzeria is a good choice for pizza and wings. .. especially if you live in their delivery area and want to order in.
