    About AZPCO Arizona Pizza Company

    Arizona Pizza is a full-service, casual dining restaurant and bar with a Southwestern theme. We offer eat-in and take out service. The wood-fired pizza oven is housed in a giant stone chimney and emits a tantalizing aroma, which captures the customers’ attention the minute they enter the restaurant. Our menu features gourmet and traditional wood-fired pizzas, appetizers, over-sized pasta dishes, sandwiches, wraps, salads and other items prepared using the freshest ingredients. The food is serviced in an entertaining, relaxing, fun filled atmosphere. The intimate bar is beautifully crafted and features wood and brushed copper accents. Customers seated at the bar are able to watch the cooks prepare their dinners. Kokopelli (the flute player that is a symbol of good luck) is integrated into the theme. There are individual television sets strategically placed at various tables and booths throughout the dining areas. Arizona Pizza is a fun, yet cozy environment where individuals of all lifestyles feel welcome and comfortable.
