As much as I love living in South Phoenix, one of the things we lack here is good pizza. Whenever, I'm on the north side and wanting good pizza I stop at Pat's. My two favorite pizzas are just a plain pepperoni and their garlic chicken pesto. The pepperoni is simple grace, fresh tomato flavor bursting through the browned cheese flavor and crisp crunchy crust. It is sublime simplicity. The garlic chicken pesto is the opposite side of the spectrum. A melody of flavor; garlic, pesto, jalapeƱos that provide a tiny bit of heat and another dimension to the flavor. It's all rounded out with little pieces of chicken and chopped fresh tomatoes, all on top of their crispy delicate crust.
Pats is built for take out, but they do have a few tables. I drove the pizza from their address to my house near south mountain and it was still hot and crunchy. Give them a try.
