After growing up in Phoenix with summer times spent in NY, it was refreshing that somebody finally brought real Italian to Central Phoenix. Over the years, Central Phoenix has become a great place for true Italian food. There are many great places to choose from with particular items, such as Tutti Santi and L'Amore for the home-made Raviolis, Aiello's for the Gnocci, Gieseppe's for the New York style mom and pop dishes, Spinatos, Cibo and Bianco for their Pizza. The list goes on and on.\n\nThen came Pizza a Metro. The 1st time I ate there, I felt like I was back in Trevesio, Italy. You will not find a better and more traditional, tasty meatball pizza anywhere. All pastas are home-made daily. The Lasagna is silky smooth and Canneloni is similar. The sauces are very traditional in flavor and are perfectly seasoned. Even the Spaghetti and Meatballs is out of this world good. The and Puttanesca is completely mouth watering. The Caesar dressing was not at all creamy, like a real Caesar Dressing. The Calamari is very lightly breaded and not over-cooked, which is the way it's supposed to be. You simply will not find any better Truly Authentic Italian Food in Phoenix. In a nut-shell, This place does everything with perfection.\n\nThe only downside is the location and the size. It would be nice if they were in a place that was at least triple the size (more then 6 tables) and had a decent parking area. The store and video shop that shares the plaza brings in a lot of weirdos. There is no where to hang out if you are waiting for a table. So make sure you get there as early as possible or after lunch. This place would make a killing if it were closer to light-rail. I wonder how they would move the most insane Pizza oven in Arizona.
