Grimaldi’s Pizzeria
Serving coal-fired, hand-tossed pizzas daily from six Valley locations, Grimaldi’s brings over a century of New York tradition to Arizona. Founded by the Grimaldi family, this casual, family-friendly spot is all about atmosphere — with checkered tablecloths and NYC-inspired décor. Beyond pizza, Grimaldi’s invests in the community, supporting youth sports and partnering with No Kid Hungry.
A Phoenix legend with national acclaim, Pizzeria Bianco is where wood-fired artistry meets local love. With blistered crusts, fresh ingredients and house-made mozzarella, each pie is a masterpiece. Founded by James Beard Award winner Chris Bianco, it’s a cozy-yet-elevated destination where every slice tells a story.
Rooted in Domenico’s heritage from Salerno, Mimi Forno brings the heart of Southern Italy to Laveen. Neapolitan pizzas, imported Italian ingredients, fine wines and local produce come together in a chic, trattoria-style setting — perfect for sharing life’s delicious moments.
At Pizza to the Rescue, every slice supports a cause. Partnering with Almost There Rescue, the restaurant donates 25% of proceeds to help dogs find forever homes. Visit on the right day, and you might even share your meal with an adoptable pup.
Founded by Chef Chris Bianco, Tratto fuses classic Italian technique with Southwestern ingredients. After years at Roland’s Market, Tratto returns to its Town & Country location in September 2025, reimagined but familiar. Expect elevated Italian dining, heartfelt hospitality and walk-in-friendly vibes.
