For a desert town, Phoenix has a surprisingly large number of Italian restaurants. Cibo Pizzeria (it’s pronounced CHEE-boh) is one of the best. The downtown restaurant serves signature wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas, salads, saltimbocca bread and fresh limoncello made from a family recipe by chef Guido Saccone. But aside from the house-made pasta, killer burrata and wine […]
Something about the way Classic Italian Pizzeria is situated in its Tempe shopping plaza makes it hard to spot. But the reward for getting good directions is excellent thin-crust pizza, served hot out of the wood-burning brick oven with fresh gourmet toppings. Try the one with homemade sausage, roasted mushrooms, and onions. Blond wood furniture, […]

Too often, West Valley residents have to be satisfied with second and third locations of restaurants from other parts of the Valley. But Fabio on Fire, born and raised in Peoria, is a rare exception to the rule that can go toe-to-toe with anything on the other side of town. Hailing from Domodossola, near Italy’s […]

In a cavernous room where the sound seems to vanish overhead, blond wood accents a sea of white and daylight pours in through floor-to-ceiling windows. They reveal the edifices of Arizona State University’s SkySong campus, curling around Fellow’s posh patio, and the strip of garden where begonias grow. Italy couldn’t feel more remote. Fellow’s best […]
When you bite into the Steak and Blue Pizza at Fired Pie, it bites back.

The way the cheese interacts with the rest of the Steak and Blue’s ingredients – garlic, oil, […]
