Arizona Pizza

There’s something special about eating pizza in Arizona. Maybe it’s the dry desert air that makes a wood-fired crust taste extra smoky, or the way a late-night slice hits after wandering around Tempe. Whatever it is, Arizona’s pizza scene has a character all its own.

Phoenix leans heavy on hearty styles — you’ll find thick Chicago-inspired pies with bubbling cheese and sauce that could feed a family. Drive south to Tucson and it’s a whole different vibe: Neapolitan-style pizzas baked blister-hot, with toppings like roasted green chiles or mesquite-smoked sausage that nod to the Southwest. Even in Flagstaff, up in the cool mountain air, pizzerias feel like gathering spots after a day on the trails.

Arizona pizza is bold, a little unexpected, and often creative in ways you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re looking for your next go-to spot, our Arizona listings are a great place to start your search.
