The one thing that NELLO’s is really proud of is its golden light CRUST!

It is our motto ‘In Crust We Trust’ and we wear it proudly on our shirts.

There is a tremendous amount of TLC that goes into our Thin and Original, white or wheat crusts. One thing is for certain, at Nello’s in Mesa you can always expect to get the ‘original crust’… the same one that made Nello’s one of the top pizzerias 35 years ago!

Reviews

"Great Pizza! Nello’s pizza is one of my favorites, and it's even better that it’s not a chain. I love the choices of crust and sauces. In fact, I’m craving their pizza just writing this review!"

"Nello’s is the type of neighborhood place you love to bring you friends and out of state family. Say no to the cookie cutter pizza joints. All of their locations have their own personality. I frequent the Alma School location. The pizza is just the beginning, the salads, sandwiches are first class."

"Just plain Awesome! Used to live close to Nello's and we had it every week. Incredible deep dish pizza and wonderful garden salad. Wish they had one in Chandler. Try it you will like it!"

"We got take-home from Nello’s and had not been there before, so we ordered based on our experience with other Pizza restaurants. We were pleasantly surprised at the large portions. The crust was as good as any we’ve had, and the ingredients were exceptional as well."

"Best Pizza in the valley! Now here is a place that has their act together! Best food I have ever tasted. Top that off with friendly staff and a very clean restaurant, you could not ask for anything more."

Delicious Pizza! If you want delicious pizza, go to Nello's Pizza. They have some unique blends of ingredients on their signature pizzas and the taste is just incredible. You can choose between white or wheat crust and also thick or thin crust. They also offer appetizers (pizza crusts are my favorite), salads, sandwiches, and pasta.
