Ilove pizza! I love pizza so much that I decided to go to 150 pizza places in 29 different cities all over Arizona. I made a mini-pizza documentary about my journey, and the number one pizza place I found in Arizona was Mimi Forno in Laveen.

Domenico Cavallo, the owner of Mimi Forno, is from a city that overlooks Positano, a compound in Italy. He opened his restaurant in 2018. With a four-acre farm nearby, Cavallo produces his own olive oil from his olive trees and grows vegetables—which are featured toppings on his weekend specials pizzas—from his garden. Cavallo imports all his meats, cheeses, flour, and tomatoes from Italy to supply customers with authentic Italian pizza. The dough and pasta are handmade daily.

I knew I was tasting greatness the first time I tried his restaurant, but all was confirmed when I had the opportunity to go to his farm and indulge in this delectable pizza with the master himself. He shared many fun facts about his pizzas, including when he imported truffles from Italy.
After our lovely dinner, I saw his passion for providing delicious and authentic Italian food for the community. My favorite pizza at Mini Forno is “The Butcher,” which contains San Marzano tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, salami, pepperoni, sausage and Italian bacon. So tasty!
