| - This is a small restaurant with big flavors and highly recommended to everyone looking for classic pizza, calzones, stromboli's, sub's or Italian favorites from an east coast style pizzaria. The owners are extremely engaging, husband is from Palermo, Sicily, Italy (probably the capital when it comes to Italian pizza makers in America and his beautiful wife is from Germany---should be interesting this summer for the World Cup). They check a few times with customers to ensure quality and complete satisfaction while dining. Once you try their food you'll probably quickly become a regular, as I recently did.
They offer house made bread that is unique, served for meals and used for the sandwiches offered. The pizza dough is expertly prepared and cooked to a nice crispness, the pizza sauce is not sweet like you find at many other local pizza establishments and the mozzarella cheese is the highest quality that melts perfectly on your pizza and sandwiches.
The Bistro is a little hard to find but located in a small strip shopping center off 92nd street between Shea and Cactus (formerly 2 Men and a Pizza). If you don't live nearby, it's well worth the trip from anywhere in the Scottsdale area if you're looking for the pizzaria you remember from anywhere east of the Mississippi.
I have not tried the entrees yet but they do offer quite a few on the menu and have seen numerous satisfied customers. I hope you get by to meet the new owners soon. Please remember, this is a BYOB establishment that does not serve alcohol.
Enjoy, DeLaurentis
