Paradise Valley Pizza Co. recently opened in Phoenix AZ. They serve Arizona Style Pizza and more. I thought that Arizona Style Pizza sounds interesting so I wanted to give it a try.

This is a small family owned business. The restaurant is very casual. You order at the counter and seat yourself.

It was hard to decide on what pizza to try because they all sounded different and interesting.

I decided on ordering the one called Margarita …like the drink…..

My pizza was covered in a tangy sauce called marinara verde. Other ingredients were, spicy serrano chili pickled in tequila, queso fresco (cheese), avocado, lime and cilantro. The pizza is fresh and hot so I pick up a slice and try and started with the the crust. It’s unique and unlike any other pizza crust I ever tried. It’s shattering crisp, maybe a little buttery and sort of flaky and the crust underneath is thin and crisp. The pizza seems very light when you eat it and doesn’t weigh you down. I like the heat and the fresh cilantro. The pizza is good and tasty but a little hard to eat. The avocado rolls off and my teeth don’t cut threw the cilantro stems. All they need is a chop and all is good.

I don’t really think of this as pizza but it’s unique and different.

My husband got the Ditka Pizza.

He got house made sausage, roasted green chili marinara, oregano and fried onions.

Besides mostly non traditional pizzas they offer a short menu of wings, salads and cannoli in of Non Traditional Varieties of Lucky Charm, Oreo and Maple Bacon.

If your in the area you might care to give them a try.
