Pizza and Salads are Artful at Picazzo's

Although Picazzo’s has locations in the Phoenix metro area, Sedona, and Prescott, Picazzo’s has become a favorite of Flagstaff locals and visitors alike. Located on “the main drag”, Milton Road, the restaurant is easy to find.

Picazzo’s specializes in pizzas and salads. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. Picazzo’s also offers an array of vegetarian and gluten intolerant menu choices.

Salads are especially good with crisp, fresh ingredients and a light, flavorful touch to the dressings. (The Asian and The Greek salads are particular favorites.)

Pizzas also taste fresh with quality ingredients, (the mushrooms are not canned, but are actually fresh, for one – always a test of the establishment), and are numerous in their offerings of toppings and made-for-you combinations. However, the pizza sauce lacks pizzazz and the crust is adequate. It will appeal really to anyone as the quality is high, but to this reviewer, it’s not the best in town.

Picazzo’s has a modern, nicely put together, and very comfortable atmosphere along with a full service bar. In the summer, handsome patio seating is available for leisurely lunches or dinners. The staff is helpful, friendly, and prompt.
It is one of the nicer restaurant settings in Flagstaff in terms of comfort and accommodations, and is a perfect place to go out with friends, the family or a first date. Everyone will find something to like.
