| - Hello Friends,
If you are looking for something off the beaten path, and ever so delicious - be sure to check out Rare Earth Pizza and Wine Bar in Scottsdale. Rare Earth breathes fresh life into the pizza restaurants that are plentiful in Scottsdale.
Rare Earth has a magnificent view of Troon Mountain and Pinnacle Peak, being that it sits on the second floor of their building. When you walk in, you are welcomed immediately by their hostess and seated at your choice of their patio or indoor seating. Their seating includes comfortable sofas and chairs, as well as plentiful tables. On Saturday night, they have live music from 6-9 p.m.
On this particular evening, we started with their appetizer pretzel board (8.00). I have been noticing lately how the pretzel bread is becoming more mainstream table bread. Excellent choice on the pretzel board, as it comes with two large soft fresh baked pretzels, along with your choice of three dips (peanut butter, honey, mustard, chocolate, and soft cheddar cheese). The soft cheddar cheese has just a hint of spice to it, and melts easily on the warm hot pretzel. Delicious!
Amidst your ample serving of carbohydrates, one must get their vegetables in! One cannot go wrong with their Spinach Strawberry salad (8.50), a combination of fresh spinach, strawberries, red onions, topped with sliced almonds and goat cheese. Their poppy seed vinaigrette dressing compliments the already flavorful combination of salad ingredients.
For the main event of pizza, I ordered "The Bob" (14.00). The Bob pizza combines red sauce, mozzarella, grilled chicken, tomatoes, pine nuts, basil, on a thin crust that holds strongly all of the above ingredients in a unforgettable combination of taste. If you order this pizza, you certainly will be able to share, if you care to!
Their wine selection is ample and plentiful. If you are looking for a slightly dry, yet fruity white wine pairing - their 2009 A to Z Pinot Gris, Newburg, OR (9.00 by the glass) is a must to try.
This of course is just a few of their many selections on their full menu. One can also order one of their signature sandwiches or even build their own pizza. At Rare Earth Restaurant, you will not be without options.
We experienced live music the Saturday evening we were there. A solo artist, who sang 70s-90s cover songs. Easy on the ears and provided a great and cozy atmosphere to our evening out. Our service was prompt throughout the evening. Rare Earth Pizza and Wine Bar is rare for good reason, as it stands out unique from the many a pizza restaurant one can find in Scottsdale.
Your Honored Guide,
--Christina
