Spinelli's Pizza

Step into Spinelli’s Pizza and you’re instantly caught up in a lively, welcoming buzz that feels both familiar and a little adventurous. Located right in the heart of Tempe, it’s the kind of place where the energy mirrors the vibrant local college town spirit — relaxed enough to unwind with friends after a long day, but charged enough to keep the good times flowing well into the night. The pace is easy but spirited, shaped by the hum of conversation, clinking glasses, and the occasional cheer from the TVs displaying the latest game.

The space unfolds with a kind of lived-in charm, walls decked out in colorful art and a collection of worldly souvenirs that spark curiosity and conversations. It’s a comfortable backdrop for sharing giant, thin-crust pizza slices that aren’t just meals but moments — generously topped, perfectly crisp, and thoughtfully seasoned so each bite tastes like a small discovery. Whether you’re settling into one of their famous slices or exploring some of the other hearty options like salads, sandwiches, or even their signature wings, there’s an unmistakable sense of care and personality in every offering.

The vibe gently nudges you toward conversations that run late and weekends that stretch on, helped along by a well-curated lineup of drinks that keep the evening flowing without rushing it. It’s no surprise that the friendly, down-to-earth staff make guests feel more like old friends dropping in rather than just diners at a pizza spot. Whether you’re grabbing a bite before heading out or lingering into the early hours as the sports crowd drifts in, Spinelli’s invites you to take your time and savor a little slice of Tempe’s unique spirit.
