You may never see Tamera making a pizza, but more than 400 Spinato’s employees know her work pretty well. ❤️

Tamera joined the Spinato’s family four years ago, starting in payroll and assisting our accounting team with accounts payable.

As Spinato’s grew, so did her role.

Today, Tamera processes biweekly payroll for more than 400 employees while also helping our team navigate onboarding, benefits, HR compliance, background and MVR checks, and those moments when someone has a question about their paycheck and needs a real person to help figure it out.

It’s a lot of responsibility behind the scenes, and it touches every person who puts on a Spinato’s uniform.

And now, Tamera has a stake in the company she helps take care of every day. She’s one of our employee-owners. ❤️🍕

In her words:
“I feel very fortunate to be part of an employee-owned company where everyone has a stake in our shared success.”

October is National Employee Ownership Month, and while you may not always see people like Tamera when you visit Spinato’s, they’re an important part of what keeps our restaurants and our people moving forward.

Thank you, Tamera, for taking care of the people behind your Spinato’s. ❤️

Ever wonder where the spirits in your cocktail actually come from? 🥃👀

For our Green Godfather, they don’t travel very far.

Our friends at SanTan Brewing + Distilling make their spirits right here in Chandler, so while we were working together on this year’s Wizard of Za collaboration, we had to take a look behind the scenes.

And there is a LOT happening behind those doors.

Brewing, distilling, aging, hand bottling, packaging and even some pretty impressive equipment designed to reduce water and CO2 use. It all happens right here in Arizona. 🌵
Those locally made spirits eventually make their way to Spinato’s, where we use them to shake up the Green Godfather, one of the cocktails created for this year’s Wizard of Za menu. 🧙‍♂️💚

But you don’t have to take our word for what goes into making them.

You can go see it for yourself!

SanTan offers tours of the Chandler facility where you can get a closer look at how their b**r and spirits go from grain to glass.

Watch our tour, then head to SanTanTours.com to plan yours. 🥃🍺

And when you’re done, come see us for a Green Godfather. 💚

Football weekends are about more than just the game. They're about bringing family and friends together, cheering on our favorite teams, and making memories along the way. 🏈❤️🍕

We love being part of those traditions, and we're making it even easier to spend game day together!

Our Glendale location is now opening at 9 AM every Saturday and Sunday throughout college and NFL football season! We'll have pizza, Bloody Marys, Micheladas, and plenty of game day spirit waiting for you.

And this Sunday, we're celebrating something special! The Arizona Cardinals are taking on the Denver Broncos for their Ring of Honor game, and we're showing up with a special game day menu.

Whether you're stopping by before kickoff or gathering around the table after the game while the crowds clear out, we'd love to see you!

A few things to know before you visit:

🏟️ On Cardinals home game days, our Glendale location is accessible to ticket holders only.
🍕 Game days are dine-in only, with no takeout or delivery.
📍 Find us on the Great Lawn next to State Farm Stadium!

There's nothing quite like a football Sunday filled with good food, family, friends, and Cardinals fans coming together. We're looking forward to sharing those moments with you all season long. ❤️

Who's coming to see us this Sunday? 🏈

There’s always room for something sweet. 🍪

Every day after 8 PM, our Sweetest Reverse Happy Hour means you can get $2 off a half dozen of Nicole’s Notable Cookies.

Our team bakes them fresh in our restaurants each morning, so whether you’re wrapping up dinner with something sweet or picking up a half dozen to bring home, after 8 PM is a pretty good time to do it.

$2 off a half dozen Nicole’s Notable Cookies, every day after 8 PM.
The only question is whether all six make it home. ❤️

A little reminder that Happy Hour doesn’t have to wait for the weekend. 🍕🍻

Happy Hour is every day from open until 6 PM.

That means more time to grab a friend, pull up a seat, and enjoy 10 food items under $10, plus deals on drinks. 👀

And yes, some of the things you’re looking at right now are on the Happy Hour menu. 😍

Whether you’re sneaking away for an afternoon bite, meeting up after work, or getting an early start on dinner, we’ll have a table ready.

Every day. Open–6 PM. See you at Happy Hour! 🍕🍹❤️

One last question stands between you and a chance at a seat at our table. 🍕❤️

But before we ask it, we want to show you what the Spinato’s Experience has really been about this whole time.

These photos were sent to us by our longtime guest Scott. His mom celebrated her 95th birthday around a table at Spinato’s. 🥹❤️

That’s why all the things we’ve shared over the last seven weeks matter.

The food we make. The restaurants we build. The traditions we protect. The ways we’ve grown. The little details we think about behind the scenes.

We do all of it so you have a place to bring the people who matter to you.

And for more than 50 years, you have. ❤️

You’ve brought us birthdays, first dates, anniversaries, new babies, family traditions, big celebrations, and ordinary dinners that became memories somewhere along the way.
You’ve made the memories. We’ve just been lucky enough to have a table there for them.
Which feels like the perfect place to end our seven giveaway questions.

Over the past few weeks, you’ve helped us build the menu for the Spinato’s Experience Dinner. Now we want to know who you’d share it with.

🍕 FINAL GIVEAWAY QUESTION #7:
If you won a seat at the Spinato’s Experience Dinner, who would you bring to the table and why?

Tell us in the comments. 👇❤️

This is the seventh and FINAL question! Make sure you’ve answered all seven giveaway questions on their respective posts to qualify for the final drawing. If you missed one, go back through our feed and catch up. Questions were posted on: 9/7, 9/14, 9/21, 9/28, 10/5, 10/12, and today!

Scott, thank you for sharing these memories with us. ❤️

West Valley, it’s finally your turn. ❤️🍕

On October 19, Spinato’s Glendale officially opens its doors and we are giving away FREE PIZZA FOR A MONTH to a couple of lucky winners!

For more than 50 years, you’ve welcomed our family into communities across the Valley. Now, for the first time, we finally get to bring a full-service Spinato’s restaurant to the West Valley.

You’ll find our new home on the Great Lawn next to State Farm Stadium, with the pizza and family favorites you already know, plus a few things that are uniquely Glendale.

🍕 Open 7 days a week. Glendale will be the only Spinato’s location open on Mondays. All other Spinato’s locations will continue to be closed on Mondays.
🍹 An expanded bar menu. Including Bloody Marys made with our pizza sauce, Micheladas and more.
🏈 A special menu for game days. On home game days, we’ll be serving a special game day menu.

There are also a couple of important things to know before you visit:

👉 We will be giving away FREE PIZZA FOR A MONTH to one lucky person each week for the first two weeks of opening.
👉 Pickup and delivery will be temporarily unavailable until further notice, so for now, come pull up a chair and enjoy your first Glendale meal with us.
👉 And because of our location, on home game days and concert/event days, Spinato’s Glendale will only be accessible to ticket holders, as the parking lot will only be open to ticket holders.

There’s a lot that makes this restaurant different, but the part we’re most excited about is pretty simple:
We finally get to welcome the West Valley to the table. ❤️

📍 9591 W Sportsman Pk N, Glendale, AZ 85305
📅 Opening October 19

We can’t wait to welcome you in. 🍕❤️

Five and a half years ago, Morgan joined Spinato’s as a team member.
Today, we get to introduce her as the General Manager of our Ahwatukee restaurant! 🎉🍕❤️

And there were quite a few steps in between.

Morgan started by learning the restaurant as a team member before becoming a Lead. She continued growing at our Tempe location, where she stepped into leadership as a Front of House Manager.

And recently, she earned her biggest promotion yet.
General Manager. ❤️

Now Morgan is bringing everything she’s learned over the past five and a half years to Ahwatukee, where she’ll have the opportunity to keep growing as a leader while helping the team around her grow, too.

And she’s not just leading a Spinato’s restaurant. She owns a piece of the company she’s helping lead. 🍕

As we celebrate National Employee Ownership Month, Morgan’s story is a pretty great example of what we hope ownership can look like: an opportunity to build a career, take on new challenges, and have a real stake in the place you’re helping move forward.

We’re so excited to watch Morgan learn, grow, and make Ahwatukee her own in this next chapter.

Help us congratulate Morgan on her promotion in the comments! 🎉❤️🍕

We had one question before we started sending you a newsletter: Would we actually want to open this ourselves? 😂📬

Because when you invite us into your inbox, we want to bring something worthwhile with us.
Spinato’s has been part of Arizona for more than 50 years, and one of our favorite things about being here is getting to know the people, places and organizations that make our community feel like home.

So we thought, why not share more of that with you?

That might mean finding something fun to do with your family around Arizona. Sharing one of our family recipes so you can make it at home. Introducing you to a local business we think you should know about. Telling you about an employee whose story made us smile. Or shining a light on an organization doing good in our community. ❤️

Yes, we’ll still tell you what’s happening at Spinato’s. We are a pizzeria, after all. 🍕😂
But we also want to use that little space in your inbox to help you discover more of the community we get to call home.

Maybe you find your family’s weekend plans. Maybe you meet a local business you end up loving. Maybe you discover a way to support a neighbor doing something good. Or maybe you finally get your hands on one of our family recipes. 👀

That sounds like an email worth opening to us.

Swipe through for a peek at what you’ll find inside.

Fresh pizza from Spinato’s, autumn-inspired scoops from Salt & Straw, cold drafts at B**r Barn, and the first cool breezes of the season.

Fall has arrived at Epicenter, bringing with it some of our favorite ways to spend a day. Bike rides through the neighborhood, mornings over coffee, afternoons exploring the shops, and evenings gathered around the table with family and friends.

There’s no better time of year to enjoy all that our neighborhood has to offer.

Come spend a little of your autumn with us at Epicenter.

The pistachio has officially made its way into your pint. 💚🍺

Meet Pistachio Palooza, the Nut Brown Ale created by Teddy Golden and our friends at AZ LOC ALE B**r Co. and brewed at SanTan Brewing + Distilling for this year’s Wizard of Za collaboration.
Toasty, nutty, and brewed with pistachio, Pistachio Palooza was created specifically to pair with this year’s Wizard of Za Pizza. 🍕🍺

One bite. One sip. A whole lot of pistachio. 💚

And judging by all those cans coming off the line, there’s plenty of Palooza to go around.

🍺 Grab a Pistachio Palooza at any Spinato’s location
🍺 Or find it at SanTan Brewery

The Wizard brought the pizza. Teddy brought the b**r.
All that’s left is to try them together. 🧙‍♂️🍕🍺

Spinato's Experience Dinner Giveaway #6 🍕❤️

You know the conversation.

“What does everyone want for dinner?”

One person wants pizza. Someone else is craving pasta. The kids have already decided on spaghetti. Someone needs gluten-free. And there’s always that one person who says, “I don’t care, you pick.”

Until you pick. 😂

For more than 50 years, there’s been a pretty simple idea behind the way our family thinks about hospitality:
If you’re coming into our home, we want to take care of you.

And over the years, your tables have given us a lot more people to take care of.

The person who orders the same pizza every single time.
The one who immediately flips to the pasta.
The little one who knows exactly what they want before they sit down.
The gluten-free friend who wants to be just as excited about dinner as everyone else.
The salad person. The sandwich person. And the person who was “too full for dessert” right up until the tortine arrived. 👀
They all get a seat.

So bring the pizza person, the pasta person, the gluten-free friend, the picky kid, and whoever else is coming to dinner.

Let us help you end the dinner debate and get back to the best part: being around the table together. 🍕❤️

Which brings us to this week’s question...
GIVEAWAY #6: Everyone at your table gets to pick one thing for dinner, no debating. What’s everyone ordering?

Tell us who’s sitting around your table and what they’re getting in the comments! 👇

Sixteen and a half years ago, Matt joined Spinato’s as a team member in the kitchen. 🍕❤️

At the time, neither he nor we could have known just how far that first job would take him.

Matt learned the kitchen. Then he learned how to lead one.
He became an Assistant Kitchen Manager, a Kitchen Manager, a Front of House Manager, a Company Trainer, then a General Manager.

Today, Matt is a District Manager, helping lead multiple Spinato’s restaurants and the people inside them.

Every new role brought new responsibilities, new lessons, and another opportunity for Matt to grow as a leader. And for more than 16 years, we’ve had the privilege of watching him do exactly that.

Now, after helping build Spinato’s for so much of his career, Matt owns a piece of it, too. ❤️

As one of our employee-owners, he has a real stake in the company he started with all those years ago as a team member in the kitchen.

October is National Employee Ownership Month, and we couldn’t celebrate the people who own 49% of Spinato’s without celebrating someone who has grown right alongside us.

Thank you, Matt, for 16 and a half years of learning, leading, teaching, and helping the people around you grow, too. Here’s to whatever role comes next. ❤️🍕

Have you ever wondered what actually happens after you leave us a review? 👀
You hit “post.”

And on our side, quite a few people start listening.

Whether you fill out one of our guest surveys, leave a Google or Yelp review, send us a DM, or tell us about your experience in a comment, your feedback makes its way to real people at Spinato’s.

Our District Managers, Matt and Zach, see it. Our marketing team sees it. Our operations team sees it. And when your feedback is about a specific restaurant, that location’s General Manager sees it, too.

Then we figure out what needs to happen next.

Sometimes, it’s making sure the right person knows about a concern so we can respond and make it right.

Sometimes, we notice the same piece of feedback coming up more than once. That can lead to a closer look, conversations with our teams, or internal audits to understand what’s happening.

And sometimes, you tell us about an employee who made your night, remembered your order, took extra care of your family, or simply made you feel welcome.
We want those stories to make their way back to our teams, too. ❤️

Because there’s something important about reviews that can be easy to forget when you’re typing one into your phone:
There are people on the other side reading them.

We may spend a lot of time talking about the Spinato’s Experience, but you’re the one actually experiencing it.

So when you take the time to tell us how it went, we’re listening. 🍕❤️

Want to win a Wizard of Za Collab Basket? 🧙‍♂️🍕🍺 GIVEAWAY QUESTION #3 is here!

And for the final question, we’re ending where this year’s Wizard of Za officially began: Pistachio Palooza. 💚
On October 1, we gathered at SanTan Gardens with our friends from AZ LOC ALE B**r Co., SanTan Brewing + Distilling and wizard_of_za to kick off year five.

There was live music. There was Pistachio Palooza flowing. We handed out free slices of this year’s Wizard of Za Pizza. And most importantly, a whole bunch of you showed up to celebrate with us.

Thank you to everyone who came out. ❤️

Five years ago, Wizard of Za started with a pretty simple idea: What happens when you bring pizza and craft b**r together and have a little fun with it?

After five years, eight pizza and b**r pairings, a lot of local collaborations and one very pistachio-filled party, we figured there was only one appropriate way to end this giveaway.

We’re adding music to the mix. 🎶

GIVEAWAY QUESTION #3: What’s your favorite song or music artist? If they were a pizza, what kind of pizza would they be, and what b**r would you pair with it? 🍕🍺🎶

There are no wrong answers. In fact, the weirder you get with this one, the more we want to hear it. 😂
Drop your creation in the comments!

🎁 THE PRIZE: A Wizard of Za Collab Basket packed with brewery tour vouchers, hats, shirts, koozies, Wizard hot sauces, stickers, patches + more from SanTan, Wizard of Za, AZ LOC ALE and Spinato’s, plus a Spinato’s gift certificate!

And remember, answering Question #3 isn’t quite enough. To complete your entry, make sure you’ve answered all three giveaway questions on their respective posts:
🧙‍♂️ #1: Oct. 6
🧙‍♂️ #2: Oct. 7
🧙‍♂️ #3: Oct. 8

Answer all three and you’re entered! We’ll select and contact our winner the week of Oct. 12.
Now turn your favorite music into pizza. We can’t wait to see what you come up with. 🧙‍♂️🍕🎶

Want to win a Wizard of Za Collab Basket packed with goodies from this year’s collaborators? 🧙‍♂️🍕🍺 GIVEAWAY QUESTION #2 is here!

If there’s one person who understands what it means to be part of Arizona’s b**r community, it’s Teddy Golden.

Teddy has been part of it for 27 years. And when he hit his 25th anniversary, he decided to start something of his own: AZ LOC ALE B**r Co.

Yes, he put “AZ Local” right in the name. 💚

The idea behind it was pretty simple:
“Sell good b**r to good people and have a good time doing it.”

But AZ LOC ALE looks a little different from your typical brewery.

Teddy doesn’t have a brick-and-mortar brewery or taproom. Instead, he’s built AZ LOC ALE around the relationships he’s made in Arizona’s b**r community. He collaborates, gets his b**r onto taps around the state, shows up at festivals and events, and stays personally involved in just about everything.

He even brews with his friends and colleagues at SanTan Brewing + Distilling, using their brewery to bring AZ LOC ALE b**rs to life. 🍺

Those custom AZ LOC ALE tap handles you see? Teddy makes them himself. The events, sales, promos and presentations? He’s there for those, too.

AZ LOC ALE is family, female and employee-owned, and for Teddy, seeing his b**r poured at local places like Spinato’s means a lot.

In his words, it’s “Local helping Local.”

And this year, that local connection ended up inspiring our entire Wizard of Za collaboration.
Inspired by the pistachio farms of Southern Arizona, Teddy brought an idea to the table:
What if we brewed a b**r with pistachio?

That spark became Pistachio Palooza, the Pistachio Nut Brown Ale from AZ LOC ALE that pairs with this year’s Wizard of Za Pizza.

But the collaboration kept growing.

With Teddy already brewing alongside his friends at SanTan, they joined the fun, too. Their locally made spirits became part of our Green Godfather Old Fashioned and Tipsy Pistachio Espresso Martini.

Before we knew it, one idea inspired by Southern Arizona had brought AZ LOC ALE, SanTan, Spinato’s and wizard_of_za around the same table.

And that’s a pretty good example of what Teddy means by “Local helping Local.” 💚

It’s also what has made Wizard of Za so much fun for the past five years. There are a LOT of talented people making really good b**r right here in Arizona, and every collaboration gives us a chance to bring a few of them together.

So, with plenty of love for Teddy and Pistachio Palooza still in our glasses, we want you to help us dream about where the Wizard of Za could go next. 👀

GIVEAWAY QUESTION #2: What local Arizona brewery would you love to see us collaborate with for next year’s Wizard of Za? 🍺

Give them a shoutout in the comments!

Remember, this is a three-part giveaway. To complete your entry for a chance to win our Wizard of Za Collab Basket, you need to answer all three questions on their respective Facebook posts:
🧙‍♂️ Question #1: October 6
🧙‍♂️ Question #2: October 7
🧙‍♂️ Question #3: October 8

And here’s what you’re playing for: brewery tour vouchers, hats, shirts, koozies, Wizard hot sauces, stickers, patches, a coaster and more from SanTan Brewing + Distilling, Wizard of Za, AZ LOC ALE and Spinato’s, plus an official 2026 Wizard of Za collab tee and a Spinato’s gift certificate. 🎁

Answer all three, and you’ll be entered for a chance to win the whole basket. We’ll select and contact our winner the week of October 12.

Teddy, cheers to 27 years of Arizona b**r, and to everything one local idea can bring together. 🍻💚
