Pizzeria Virtu

While much of Old Town Scottsdale leans into the glitz and glamor of the area and its clientele, it’s still possible to find cozy, warm and welcoming spaces to enjoy an expertly crafted meal in this East Valley city. Pizzeria Virtu is proof. This little spot inhabits a house, complete with a backyard patio. There, renowned chef Gio Osso puts a casual spin on his typical fine dining fare with wood-fired pizzas. Order a glass of wine and a crisp, flavorful salad to start, and settle in as you would at a friend's house. Only here, those friends bring out delicious pies topped with top-notch ingredients such as San Marzano tomatoes, peppered bacon, chestnut honey or rapini pesto. The ingredients are cradled in the center of fluffy, bubbly dough that will leave you coming back for another slice.
