Fancy Pizzeria

On the day we visited, DH and I were the first customers of the day. We were cautioned that the first orders take just a little longer to fulfill as the kitchen is just getting started for the day. We sat at the huge wraparound windows, listened to Italian crooners on the sound system and people watched while we waited.

DH ordered a pepperoni pie and I ordered the Fungi pie, a wood mushroom pizza and added sausage as advised on one of the signs in the restaurant. Delicious! As I understand it, the sauce, crust and real lemonade are all made by hand in house with specially filtered water. That certainly explains the epic taste.

Our hostess was especially engaging. She noticed our license plates weren't local and we spent so much time chatting DH was afraid my food would get cold. This was a great experience and the best reason to support local businesses.

Loved this great little Italian and pizza joint! The greeter/ waitress was so sweet and awesome. We tried the new Cobb salad and a Margherita pizza with pepperoni. They were amazing! The salad was huge, well worth the price. We had it for dinner too. When we're back in Safford we will always come back to Fancy Pizzeria!

It's some good pizza, but not great. Service was very nice, and I liked the place. It did take awhile to get the food, but that is ok, because everything seemed freshly made. I guess the reason for a 4 instead of a 5 is I've had better pizza, I would go back and try other things there, but my home town pizza is better.

Fancy Pizzeria, Stafford Az.
Traveling through town, didn't want to leave the hotel room, looked for a good restaurant and found Fancy Pizzeria. Ordered a couple of pizzas and customized both. They deliver if you place your order from the app "Local by Toast". The pizza was amazing. The crust looks hand tossed and cooked in a fire oven. The toppings were all great looking.

Wonderful privately owned pizza place with a laid-back atmosphere Very polite and personable service. The food was absolutely delicious and I really enjoyed the fresh made lemonade. Highly recommend.

I came here because of the Yelp reviews and boy am I glad we did! Small place but they are expanding so that's good.
Great pizza, beautiful light crust not too much sauce. Potato salad was great as well, just like mom's.
Very friendly owner, I truly hope his business thrives!

Service was terrific! That was the positive to the experience. Drive thru pickup. I was able to add two bags of ice at the window. Amazing ice that doesn't melt quickly might I add. Friendly staff working. Slight wait behind another customer on arrival but in and out quickly overall. Why I'm in the middle... the food had so much left to be desired. Enjoyed the bread on the garlic knots but where was the garlic? I may have higher expectations of a stronger flavor? The marinara taste ok but was very thin. The pizzas were dry. I understand wood fired but there wasn't great flavor either. It was ok. Don't enjoy the lack of sizes and the price was a bit high for the pizza. I would have gotten extra cheese on the bambino because it felt like it was on half the pizza. We did get a free pizzookie because the order was over $50 but that's the downfall too. Two 12" pizzas w/1 extra veggie topping and garlic knots was $59 subtotal. Steep for what it was. Not bad, not great experience. Would try again hoping to have better outcome. There's sandwiches I had my eye on.

Delicious!!!!! We just had a pizza, but everything looked good. We came in close to closing and they were very welcoming and accommodating. You need to try this place!

Best pizza around by a long shot! My wife and I found Fancy Pizzeria after reading some scuttlebutt online about the grand opening. We live quite a ways out of town, but figured it would be a nice date night in the big city. We were not disappointed. In fact, we were ecstatic to find this place. Not only was the food delectable, but the atmosphere was nice and chill, and the staff was friendly and warm. I had the regular pepperoni pizza "well done" because I like a crispier finish to my crust. My wife had the gluten free pizza with pepperoni, mushrooms and olives. She's probably a tougher critic than me, because most gluten free pizzas are hot and miss. She said this is her favorite pizza ever, and judging by her reaction after each bite, I know she's not lying

It's been several months since our first visit and we have been back many times. We can't say enough good things about food, the ambiance, and the staff and owners. We love this place so much that we recommend it to our friends and family...and even the occasional stranger on the street.

If you're looking through yelp reviews to help you decide which pizza place is best...save your time, stop reading this and go to Fancy Pizzeria. They have something for everyone. There are other mouthwatering items on the menu, but honestly, I love their pepperoni pizza and crust so much that I never try anything else.

I'd give it a 4.5 if I could. There's room for improvement but it's great for being in Safford. I feel like the pizza is a bit underdone almost every time we get it. A big surprise for us was how much we liked the Italian sandwich. It's a take on it I haven't seen elsewhere. Basically wrapped in a pizza pita bread. I look forward to what they can do in the future.
