LAMP Pizzeria

LAMP has been a favorite for years. We found it 8 years ago after we just moved to Scottsdale from WI. We have lived in Gilbert and now Surprise and we still will go in for a pizza and appetizers. Yes you may have to wait but it's to be expected in most restaurants. It a small place with limited hours. Not complaining just stating why it's busy. The service is always great considering the place is ALWAYS packed. We will continue making the journey for pizza.

Last night was our second time in! Here's some highlights from both experiences. TLDR; flavor combos are everything, the crust isn't consistent, the hype isn't worth the wait. Our first time in we sat on the patio we showed up a little before 4pm and got seated right away. The servers are friendly however really slow. It took forever to get things. Whether a refill, turn on the patio heater, and so on. There were times we actually had to get up and ask different people to help us out. We studied the menu before hand so that right when the waiter came we were able to order our pizzas right away. However even though we placed our order right away we still had about an hour to wait until the pizza was ready. The flavor combo of the pizza was delicious!

I LOVE LAMP When we need a casual but good door date night this is our spot. We get the kale salad and the Caesar both are nice and refreshing. We often get the meatball which is also delicious.The kicker pizza is the "go to" we add pepperoni..But save room for the toasted marshmallow milk shake. It's so good my husband and i don't share this dessert!

LAMP is a tricky review for me. I've been here a few times now so I feel confident in leaving my honest review. I'll start with the service. I'll preface by mentioning LAMP gets super busy quick, so expect a wait. The host team are all super friendly and try to get you seated as quickly as they can. If you're not there by open, you can expect a wait. Fortunately there is a standing bar area where you can order a drink and kill some time. Once seated, and this has happened every time for me, we just sit there. Maybe five-ten minutes go by before anyone acknowledges us. During my last visit we legit were at the table 10 mins before I was able to order a drink. Though the servers are very friendly, they have no sense of urgency. This all makes each of my experiences very impersonal. LAMP consistently proves that creating a personable experience for each guest is not a priority. Once it's time to order, expect another LONG wait for your food to come. I recommend choosing your food items before you get seated. LAMP has awesome flavor combinations with a wide choice of pizza options. Every pizza combination I have tried is good. My big complaint about their pizza is the inconsistency. We ordered three pizzas, each pizza had a different level of how cooked it was. Mine was fine, the other two were burnt and extra burnt. It sucks getting to the crust and choosing to not eat it since it's basically a cracker stick.Overall, LAMP has potential to me, it just lacks a lot in some personally important areas. It is definitely worth a try if your in the area, just be ready to wait!

Walking by this place, I didn't quite know what to expect when we came here for dinner. Following recommendations from others we did come here once they opened at 4 o'clock and were immediately seated with a table. I could see a high volume of takeout so if you're gonna order take out, make sure you do it right away! The pizzas are all in the same line as the in-house customers. The pizzas we had were delicious and I was obsessed with the crust! The entire group was a fan of their pizzas and we had started with the meatballs which my daughter was obsessed withWe will definitely be back as this is close to our neighborhood

The hype around LAMP is craaaazy! But after trying it, I get it. The neighborhood goes crazy for LAMP, so much so that if you want to place an order to-go, you have to call right when they open at 4pm to be able to pick-up your pizza between 6 and 7pm. I gotta say though, it's worth it! The pizza is thin neapolitan style that's cooked in a wood oven. The top gets bubbly and crispy, but the base can be a little floppy. The scientist was probably my favorite that we tried! It's made with three different kinds of salami and green olives. It added the perfect spicy and salty element to the pizza. A close second was the stacy's mom - this is a white pizza topped with garlic, ricotta, and spicy salami. So creamy but still light! Keep in mind, the pizzas are on the smaller side, plus with being so thin, you might want to add one extra za to your usual order!I will definitely be ordering from LAMP again next time I'm in Arizona!

Best pizza (and everything else) in the valley. Friendly service, great atmosphere - pizza's, appetizers and salad's superb (along with the cookies).

From the outside, this is a very unassuming place. However, when you enter, you are transported to a cozy pizzeria with a large oven and lovely atmosphere. I brought my parents here on a Thursday evening and it was PACKED. It was so far from home but so so worth it. We got the grilled vegetable pizza and the Kensington. The vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection. The Kensington had a unique taste that I have never had in a pizza before. I will certainly be back to try everything else in the menu because the portions were big with each pizza being enough for 2-3 people. This was a wonderful pizza experience in Scottsdale and I cannot wait to come back!

I can honestly say that this is the best pizza I have ever had. Not only was the pizza, delicious and fresh, but the salads were incredible. I feel like salads can really go either way, and they couldn't of been any better.I also really recommend the zucchini cakes they are so good. And of course, if you're there, you might as well have some sangria, and gelato.The ambience is great, it's not your typical pizza place. If you look around when you are there, you'll just see that everybody is enjoying themselves.wonderful experience!

The half and half Pizza was as good as earlier. The Maghinara and Kavorka are a good combination as they both have a red sauce.The staff at front desk could be a little more courteous and kind. The salads are consistent. Wish there was a little more lighting inside the restaurant.
