A few weeks ago I reported Eklectic Pie would make its debut on the northeast corner of Stapley and Baseline in Mesa in mid-September. It took a little longer than planned, but its doors open today.
The pizzeria, which focuses on fresh and locally sourced ingredients, offers 11 “Wall of Fame” pizzas:
- Margherita: Marinara sauce, Roma tomatoes, fresh mozzarella finished with fresh basil & Parmesan.

You also can create your own pizza from Eklectic’s nine sauces, eight cheeses, and 42 toppings. Pizzas are $7.99 for 11-inch and $5.49 for 7-inch, regardless of number of toppings.
The menu also offers Italian Gondola sandwiches ($7.49 each) and salads ($7.29 each), as well as Arizona craft beer and wine.
Eklectic Pie is open 10:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 10:30 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday-Saturday, and 10:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday.
A second location is scheduled to open next to the Harkins theaters on the nothwest corner of Gilbert and Germann in Chandler in November.
