More Pizza: Picazzo's Coming to the Esplanade

You thought the Camelback Corridor was becoming gourmet burger boulevard? Well, that's true, but it's also becoming gourmet pizza street. A new location of Picazzo's Organic Italian Kitchen will soon be joining The Parlor, Tommy V's, and Vincent's on Camelback (yep, there's pizza from the famous French chef) as another one...

You thought the Camelback Corridor was becoming gourmet burger boulevard? Well, that's true, but it's also becoming gourmet pizza street.

A new location of Picazzo's Organic Italian Kitchen will soon be joining The Parlor, Tommy V's, and Vincent's on Camelback (yep, there's pizza from the famous French chef) as another one of the pizza options along Camelback Road between 7th Street and 40th St.

Owner Dennis Daniel, who just opened a Picazzo's in Tucson, says the new Esplanade eatery (2501 E. Camelback) -- right behind Houston's -- will be the 11th one. He hopes to open by August 1.

Picazzo's was rebranded three months ago, and now features an entirely gluten-free menu, made with 90 percent organic ingredients.
