Entry #2 - Pizza, Pizza, Pizza
Phoenix may be known for its desert landscapes and numerous outdoor activities, but it's also home to some seriously good pizza. Whether you're a fan of classic New York-style, wood-fired crusts, or creative toppings, the city has something to satisfy every pizza enthusiast. Here are some of the best pizza places in Phoenix that you definitely shouldn't miss!
Starting the list off strong is my personal favorite. Trevor's. Trevor's has a few locations in the valley now, but the location on 3601 E Indian School Rd if by far my favorite. Nestled within a high-end liquor store is a small but flavorful bar and dining area. The drinks are perfectly balanced, and the pizza is made fresh in their woodfired oven. I recommend the margherita pizza paired with their barrel pic old fashioned!

Coming in at a close second, just down the road from Trevor's, Pizza to the rescue! Every single ingredient is fresh and made in house, they even make their own pasta! to top it off, 25% of all proceeds go to almost there rescue. A dog rescue that is directly behind the restaurant, they frequently have puppy play times and adoptions on the patio of Pizza to the rescue! I'd recommend the margherita pizza and the spicy vodka rigatoni!
Third, is the starving artist. The newest concept of OHSO brewery. An amazing dive bar feel, with an upscale and vibrant menu! You can get pizza by the slice to sample everything your heart desires. My personal favorite is the Hawaiian pizza paired with the TSA NY sour. They also have new specials monthly, so your always in for something new!
Last but certainly not least on my Phoenix pizza journey is Pizzaria Bianco. It has won numerous awards for best pizza in Arizona, some even boldly claim it's the best in all of America. With its simple menu and endless wine selections, it easily lives up to its name. But be warned, get there early or you'll definitely be waiting for quite some time to be able to enjoy the fantastic pizza!
Pizza, Not just a food; it’s an experience, a comfort, and sometimes, a celebration. It's a perfect blend of simplicity and creativity, a canvas where any flavor can come to life. It’s there for family dinners, hangouts with friends, and those late-night cravings. It's the answer to almost any question: “What should we have for dinner?” "Pizza!" "Who’s hungry?" "Pizza!". Besides a nice, juicy steak, it's my Ultimate food, and my dedication for it is unwavering. So unwavering I once made the journey to and from Kabul, Afghanistan to a remote base that I was located at to bring some pizza to bump up moral to those in our group! Whelp, That ends my quick but endless pizza reviews for now. I've got plenty more to try in this city!
Hi Paul the way you describe the pizza makes my mouth water, I'm definitely going to have to check out a few of these places once I turn 21 so I can enjoy the full experience. I am most excited to try Pizza to the rescue because that is a very noble thing to donate to a animal shelter.
ReplyDeleteWow, usually I just go to Grimaldi's when I want higher end pizza, but these look like pretty great recommendations. I'm going to have to take my wife on a date to some of these. Pizza to the Rescue in particular looks good.
ReplyDeleteYour Phoenix pizza recommendations sound amazing! Trevor's definitely sounds like a champion with its wood-fired oven and great beverages. Pizza to the Rescue is so awesome with its rescue theme, and Pizzaria Bianco's reputation is certainly well earned. Clearly you're a giant pizza enthusiast, and I appreciate that you even went out of your way to deliver pizza in Kabul! Looking forward to hearing about more of the restaurants you try.
