Here’s the 411 on 414 Pub & Pizza on Mill Avenue. For starters, they’re open late seven days a week and that includes delivery within five miles when you’re in the middle of some hardcore Netflixing. Secondly, their entire app menu is dang good, a litany of cleverly named eats like Fried Brittany Spears Pickles […]
The ultimate gourmet grocery in Arizona, AJ’s Fine Foods has several locations throughout the Valley in Scottsdale, Chandler, Glendale, and Phoenix. Each one stocks a choice selection of artisanal cheeses, meats, baked goods, produce, and deli fare. Whether you’re hunting for a nationally acclaimed specialty item like Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams, looking for a local […]
Owners Eric and Kathy Bower serve up homey Italian food at Amano Bistro, a charming neighborhood joint in an unlikely South Phoenix location — next to a Shell station and across from an empty lot on Baseline Road. Fans come here for the cozy vibe, reasonable prices, and well-prepared classics, from a garlicky hand-tossed white […]
The Amante Calzone – a combination of onion, black olives, shredded pepperoni, and spinach folded between flaky crusts – has to be tasted to be believed. Follow it with a slice of Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheese Cake at this cozy dining spot, and you and your stomach are happy-happy.
Forget outdated children’s entertainment destinations like Chuck E. Cheese’s. Mesa is home to a 95,000 sq. ft. indoor playspace with everything from go-karts, laser tag, video games, and rock climbing to an old-fashioned carousel, a train ride, mini golf, bowling, and an interactive area to redeem your hard-earned tickets. All of that fun will make […]

There’s pizza, and then there’s Arizona Pizza, where we go when we want a southwestern-influenced take on our favorite pie. We’re glad that this chain continues to grow, because now in addition to great-tasting food, APC offers convenient locations. We always start with the Gorgonzola Salad, a toss of spinach, mixed greens, bacon, walnuts, and […]
Phoenix is known for its upscale pizza spots, and Base Pizzeria – with a tagline like “Organic. Modern. Pizza.” – is certainly one of them. Run by an American and three Australian proprietors, Base Pizzeria offers a menu of Italian appetizers; hearty salads; desserts; adult beverages including beer, cider, and wine; and of course, gourmet […]
Some of the best NY-style, thin-crust pizza in the Valley. The motto is “Shut up and eat,” and we’d advise you to do so. Form follows function when it comes to atmosphere — just tables and stools and windows looking out onto the street. See, in this pizzeria, it’s all about melt-in-your-pie-hole-good triangles of mozzarella […]
The name says it all at this Mesa strip-mall joint: The slices ($3) are huge, more like whole pizzas shaped like a slice and served with their own pizza cutter. Not gourmet ‘za, by any means, but the crispy seasoned crust and signature sauce are sure to satisfy nonetheless.

With its ski lodge vibe and walls covered with outdoor equipment (including antique bicycles and climbing gear), Boulders on Broadway’s two-story Tempe establishment is the kind of place you can relax after scaling Camelback or taking your 12-speed for a spin. Naturally, it’s a big place for the neighborhood cycling crowd (with plenty of places […]
Downtown Phoenix has a ways to go before it’ll remind us of Brooklyn, but this little pizza joint’s a good start. Just like the neighborhood places in New York, Bklyn’s is cheap, casual, and good for a quick slice when we’re hungry and in a hurry.

Cactus Jack’s brings a rock ‘n’ roll atmosphere to an otherwise sleepy strip mall in Ahwatukee. Credit co-owner Gina Lombardi, who bought a stake in the neighborhood bar in 2014 after her landmark rock venue The Sail Inn was pushed out of Tempe by gentrification. She installed a stage, a sound system, a lighting rig, […]
CPK won’t be putting indie, gourmet pie joints like Cibo or Pizzeria Bianco out of biz any time soon, but this La-La-Land-based chain is still reliable on many fronts. The service is attentive, and the menu offers many options besides the signature CPK pizzas, though these are by no means terrible. The “Tuscan hummus” appetizer […]
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, […]
