A Pizza Born from Passion
Jet's Pizza started in 2012 as a family dream — a place where neighbors could gather over truly exceptional pizza, made the old-fashioned way.
Our founder, Marcus "Jet" Rivera, learned the art of pizza-making from his grandmother in Naples, Italy. After years of perfecting her recipe and blending it with bold American flavors, he opened the doors of Jet's Pizza in Tempe, AZ — and the community fell in love instantly.
Today, we've served over 50,000 happy customers while keeping the same commitment to quality that started in that small kitchen: hand-stretched dough, San Marzano tomatoes, premium cheeses, and toppings sourced from local Arizona farmers whenever possible.
- Hand-stretched dough made fresh every morning
- Locally sourced ingredients from Arizona farms
- Authentic Italian techniques with American boldness
- Welcoming community-focused atmosphere
Our Mission & Vision
Everything we do is guided by three core commitments — to our food, our community, and our future.
Our Mission
To craft the most satisfying pizza experience in Tempe — using honest ingredients, passionate craftsmanship, and genuine care for every person who walks through our doors.
Our Vision
To become the most trusted neighborhood pizza brand across Arizona — a place where families return for generations, and where quality is never compromised for convenience.
Our Promise
Every pizza that leaves our kitchen carries our full commitment — to freshness, flavor, and the kind of warmth that makes a meal feel like home. No shortcuts. Ever.
The Principles We
Slice By
These aren't just words on a wall — they're the standards our team holds itself to every single shift.
Quality First
We never cut corners on ingredients. From the flour in our dough to the herbs on top, every component is chosen with care and sourced from trusted suppliers.
Community Roots
We are Tempe born and bred. We support local farms, hire locally, and give back to the neighborhoods that gave us a chance to grow.
Constant Innovation
We honor tradition but never stop experimenting. New flavors, seasonal specials, and bold combinations keep our menu exciting for loyal fans and newcomers alike.
Genuine Hospitality
Every customer deserves to feel welcomed. We train our team to treat every order — dine-in, takeout, or delivery — with the same personal warmth.
The Jet's Pizza Timeline
From a single oven to a beloved Tempe institution — here are the milestones that shaped who we are today.
The First Oven is Lit
Marcus "Jet" Rivera opens Jet's Pizza in a 600 sq ft space in Tempe with one wood-fired oven, three menu items, and an unshakeable belief in great pizza.
Best Local Pizza Award

Expansion & New Location
We move into our current home at 1835 E Guadalupe Rd — a larger space that allows us to host private events, expand the menu, and welcome 3× more guests daily.
Delivery Service Launched
We launch our own delivery fleet, bringing Jet's quality directly to homes across Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler — with a commitment to 45-minute delivery or it's free.
Local Farm Partnerships
We formalize partnerships with 5 local Arizona farms, ensuring that 80% of our vegetable toppings are grown within 100 miles of our kitchen — fresher ingredients, smaller footprint.
