Oregano's Pizza Bistro is a mid-sized restaurant chain based in Scottsdale, Arizona, known for its Chicago-style pizza and varied Italian-American menu. The menu includes handcrafted thin crust, stuffed, and pan pizzas, as well as pastas, substantial salads, and a dessert called The Original Pizza Cookie, along with specialty beverages designed for adults. The company emphasizes fresh ingredients and Wisconsin cheese, aiming to provide a casual, family-friendly dining experience with a nostalgic ambience. Founded in 1993 by Mark S. Russell, Oregano's has expanded to about 21 restaurants across the Phoenix metro area, Tucson, and Flagstaff, with plans to open two locations in Colorado. The business has faced staffing-related operational challenges in the past, including temporary closures of Tempe restaurants in 2022 and the closure of Tempe offices in 2025. Positioned in the casual dining segment, the chain combines traditional Chicago pizza with a broader menu to serve a regional customer base.
