Albeit a bit pricy, the artisan pizzas are the best I've found in Phoenix, which means I'm adding it to the best of Tempe list. The restaurant has a trendy feel inside and some outdoor seating on a nice patio that faces the parking lot outside. The only problem is that Picazzo's dropped my favorite pizza. They went on an organic only binge and a hunt for locally produced ingredients and bye bye to the chipotle barbacoa. Can I get a moment of silence for the chipotle barbacoa, a spicy pizza with hunks of seasoned beef? And favorite number two has entered the witness protection program as the menu lists it under a different alias every time I visit. It was originally called "That's Italian," but now I just order the one with peperoni and salami. Picazzo's is always running a lot of specials and has a happy hour. Every week there is special, and they liked to do themes. During tax season there was some kind of deal where large pizzas cost $10.40. Oh, the irony. So get on the mailing list if you like deals.
The bathroom is nice, clean, and worth mentioning in a review.
Unless you have actually tried Picazzo's, I don't even want to hear about how your favorite pizza place it better. Because it isn't.
