Raffaele Pizza

It’s said that one of the main secrets of a business’ success is “location, location, location.” If that’s true, I don’t see how Raffaele Pizza has stayed in business for so long. This place has been in the same hidden location, buried behind an IHOP and a 7-11 near the corner of Glendale and 19th Ave since at least back to the 80’s.

If the location doesn’t seem so good, they must be doing something right to stay in business and what they do right is the pizza.

I’d like to extoll the unique virtues of this pizza, but, in this case, I can’t.

There was nothing particularly exceptional about this pizza, but it was nonetheless a good, solid entry of the New York variety, and I wouldn’t hesitate to eat there again – except that I’ve always just driven past it before I see the place.

Cost: 14″Pepperoni = $12.15, Cost per square inch = $0.08 (.079)

  1. i lived in casa del pueblo in the late 70’s. this place was a gem, us being transplanted New Yorkers. Best Sicilian i recall. I was back in Phoenix in 94 and saw they were still there. Amazing, hidden away and all these years. they must be doing something right!
