OMG...best thin gourmet pizza in AZ. I always get the roasted corn pizza (sourdough). Although it might not be on the menu, you can still ask for it. If you're a meat eater...their burgers are fantastic too (cheeseburger or green chile). PARKING is a pain, so be patient.

It's located on the 4th floor of the Residence Inn. I know, a bit weird, but trust me, you're in for a treat. Yes, the drinks are not exactly cheap, but you're paying for the atmosphere/decor and creativity of each drink (not to mention the amount of alcohol in each concoction).
