Screaming Banshee Pizza

We’ve been to this restaurant twice and both times the service wasn’t that great and the food wasn’t worth the long drive for us. Good place for pizza in the area but don’t expect to be blown away.

This was a very good find in the quirky little town of Bisbee, AZ. We enjoyed a salad and wood fired pizza. It has a fun, artsy décor.

We wanted to avoid the Valentine’s crowds on Sunday, so we decided to drive out to Bisbee for pizza Saturday night — little did we know until we arrived, Bisbee was having their Second Saturday and everywhere was super crowded and busy. We were promptly greeted and informed the wait would «be a bit». We were seated within 20 minutes. Our server was super friendly and apologized for the wait. We ordered their brand new pizza dip and the meat lovers pizza — the food was absolutely delicious and we will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

Cool, hip spot in an old service (gas) station. A nice walk up the hill in Old Bisbee. The wood fired pizza was awesome, the wings (dry rub & honey chipotle) left a little to be desired IMO.

Good food but the service was horrible. The male waiter must have forgotten to place our order because it took an hour for two pizzas and the order was wrong. He didn’t bring us plates and never refilled our water or asked if we wanted more to drink. Half of our party had to find him to get the check. His excuse was that it was Valentine’s Day and it was busy but a couple that had just been seated, got their pizza in 10 minutes. There is no excuse for bad service no matter how good the food is.

Incredible!!!
Simply incredible!!!
The food, the ambience, the décor, the owners, every single little thing was amazing!!!
If I lived near here, I would be a regular.
I can’t recommend this wonderful place high enough!!!
(Try the bruschetta and red peppers with goat cheese, you won’t be disappointed)

Delicious pizza and excellent service — our waitress even called out her manager to kill a bee that was bugging us outside, haha. And they had little fleece blankets for outside customers to use if they chose. Love this place!

I took my hubby to Tombstone for his birthday and he wanted to eat pizza. Since this was his wish I tried to oblige. We thought this was a cute little place from the outside until we walked inside. The hostess immediately asked my husband to throw away his drink which never sits well with me. He was almost finished with it but suffers from medical issues and is on a lot of meds that constantly give him a dry mouth. Second, we were seated at a very uncomfortable table with barely any room. We were never waited on. Plus the hub’s confiscated drink was never replaced. After this, we decided to go somewhere else and spend our hard earned money.

Another Bisbee classic. Bomb pizza and wings. Guaranteed to meet your taste buds needs!

About a month ago we drove 2 hours to come here after seeing them in edible Baja Arizona magazine. It was worth it. The back patio is simply divine, and if you’re there on a cool night they’ll give you a blanket (they do have outdoor heaters) but extra heat is always nice. The pizza is delicious and the crust is this and crispy. I’ve been asking all my friends «wanna go to bisbee?» Just so I can get some of there pizza. The wait staff was excellent and loved to explain their menu. I will be coming back soon.

Great food. Really great food! We’ve been here twice. First Time they were out of several things. Second time… Server was a know it all smart ass. Never got her name. You’ll know if you get her.

Eclectic, Hip, a bit odd and totally cool. The Pizza we had was great and the drinks… heavily poured. I like it. Bisbee is a crazy little town, but it is a great place to go check out. Lots of great places to eat as well, but this place was on point.

This was our 4^th time in Bisbee and someone recommended this pizza joint. They don’t take reservations and was asked when we got there, our group of 7 agreed to sit outside. It was chilly but they offered us throw blankets that kept us comfortable. For appetizers, we ordered mango ginger and chipotle wings which were both phenomenal! The artichoke dip was fantastic too! For pizzas, we shared the banshee pizza which had mushrooms, sausage and onions with ½ white and red sauce– so good! The other pizzas were the potato and bacon and another one gluten free pepperoni. All great but the gf pepperoni was my favorite! Our other friend ordered the spaghetti and meatballs and wow the pasta was perfect and the sauce was wonderful & flavorful! For dessert we had coffee and banana fosters, YUM!
We highly recommend this place! Ask for Erica! She was so wonderful and can recommend great dishes!!! Thanks Erica!!! We’ll be back!

This is a creepy venue-​makeshift restaurant that is set up in a ramshackle out building somewhere in a ghosttown called Bisbee, Arizona. I am unsure what the kitchen looked like, but I would not be surprised if it is infested with… Even though our party walked out after being there for 15 minutes, we all knew we had made the right choice to take our hungry selves elsewhere. Here’s what went down at the screamin’ banshee pizza co.
Moving on to the service; it was mediocre to downright snooty! The head hostess had an uppity attitude /​demeanor about herself! She even confiscated my Coke I was drinking like if it was cramping her venue’s style. They drink wine there only.
From here on out one would not need a Ph.D. to empirically know that if the patron stayed the service would more than likely suck. If the first premise is true then it would not be too awfully hard to argue that the food would more than likely suck too!
In sum, terrible place, snooty people and owner, and a sketchy joint to eat at. Hooray for McDonalds!

Delicious food! All sorts of food, beer, and cocktails on the menu. There is truly something for everyone here. If you stop in Bisbee, eat dinner here! Also a very pet friendly place. Choose the patio!

Food was quick. Staff very friendly. Our kids got tough to play with and the pizza and wings were delicious. I am used to thin real Italien pizza and there pizza just tastes like it. New favorite place!!! Will definitely come more often here.

Went in for some food after the Bisbee Pride festival with my family and friends. I ordered a calzone, took one bite, and realized that the outside was burned, while the inside was still undercooked.
I sent my calzone back and had it replaced with another dish, which was amazing.
However, when we got the bill, we found out they still charged us for the calzone. We asked our server to take it off, and she sent over the manager who told us that just because I didn’t like the dish doesn’t mean I don’t have to pay for it.
Needless to say, we got the calzone taken off our ticket, but I refuse to ever go back. The management is horrible and the food is eh at best.

Very quirky in a good way spot to get wood fired pizza. Most pizzas are not the normal combinations and that is a good thing. Calzones are good and they have great salads.
The staff is friendly but the place can get packed.

FOOD: ³⁄₅
I’m sorry but I really do not share the same love for taste as many others. I do want to say that I am a big pizza lover and I just cannot give the «exceptional» rating.
Simply, the flavors are way too bland. It would be one thing if the restaurant were pushing for a European edge because the lack of sodium and other American sharp flavors are not common. However, it is not the case. I ordered the screaming banshee pizza as well as tried three other over the course of three separate visits. I also ordered 3 – 4 appetizers as well. All with a disappointingly bland flavor.
The beer was the exception. There are some decent selections.
SERVICE: ⁴⁄₅
Service was slow and it could have possibly been from the large crowd for the night but it has been this way since my last two visits. What made it worse was that when it came time to pay, several minutes passed by until fnally a server came by and noted that it would be a little longer because our server was in the back working on something. Not sure why bills can’t be collectively processed, which he finally did.
DECOR/​AMBIENCE: ⁵⁄₅
Love the ambiance here. Great, exciting,.and lively place to kick back with friends or date.

What can I say about this place that hasn’t already been said before? Old Bisbee is a small eccentric place that doesn’t have very many good food options. I was elated to learn that there was a new pizzeria and that their food was really good. I have been trying to make my way out there, but hadn’t gotten the chance… until now. I’m so glad that I did!
The food is soo good. You can tell that they use good quality ingredients in their food. We ordered an appetizer of garlic knots. There, they’re called the Knotty or Nice that come with a side of marinara. (A must try) We ordered the Screaming Banshee pizza. You must! I repeat you must try this pizza! It has Fennel Sausage, Mozzarella, roasted onions, mushrooms and rosemary! Who doesn’t like those ingredients!
Service was ok, they were pretty busy, so I don’t blame them for taking their time. I will note that the staff was very friendly. So if you happen to find yourselves in Old Bisbee, come here! You won’t regret it!
