Maselli's is a brand new pizza and Italian restaurant that just opened up in Tempe. This location is owned and operated by family, which means they put that much more care into their dishes. During the cooler months and evenings, they even have a convenient patio location just outside.

When you first walk in, you're able to take your choice of seats. If you arrive just before dinner, you'll have your choice of any booth or stool at the bar. But as dinner arrives, seating may become scarce.

Service is fast and friendly, and there is quite a variety on the menu, including build-your-own pizzas. The atmosphere is very attractive inside and has a good feel to it. The lighting is perfect and you could easily spend a good deal of time here watching television, reading a book, or getting some work done all while dining on some very well-made pizza.

Maselli's Pizzeria is located at 1835 E. Guadalupe Rd. in Tempe.
