I raved about Pizza A Metro in the last post about places to eat near Thomas Road and Interstate 17 and now I have more to say with even more information. One of the rumors I heard the first time I ate at this restaurant, now I will only type this information once since I never repeat gossip, was that the owners of Pizza A Metro were formerly the Maitre d’ and Cook from an un-named high end restaurant in Scottsdale who left to open this restaurant. If indeed this rumor is true, they have outdone themselves. After writing the last post I stopped by for dinner again and grabbed a take out menu so I could give some examples of the great food this restaurant has to offer. Of course we took wine with us since they do not offer wine for sale.

One of the most interesting things I learned was from one of the owners who told me that the “Metro” in the name refers to the meter measurement as in “Pizza by the Meter”. They do have some great looking wood fire baked pizza by the meter here but I would like to concentrate my attention on the rest of the amazing menu.

All meals are accompanied by a great seasoned roasted pita and dipping sauce. On my first visit I had the Cheese Ravioli with Four Cheese Sauce and fell in love. Here are some of the favorites with me and my friends:

  • Cheese Ravioli choice of sauce
  • Penne alla Vodka pasta in tomato sauce with bacon, fresh basil cream and vodka
  • Pollo Parmigiana breaded chicken breast, marinara, mozzarella and parmesan cheese
  • Cannoli Siciliani

There are many more dishes to choose from including a large selection of Soup, Salads, Antipastis, Pastas, Pizzas, Crostones and yes, Dolcis.
