Picazzo’s Organic Italian Kitchen
Eat healthier at Picazzo’s Organic Italian Kitchen and enjoy a gourmet Italian menu of pizzas, pastas, soups and salads all made with local, natural, organic, and preservative-free ingredients! The menu is 90% organic with the rest all natural and includes many Gluten-free items and signature vegetarian pizzas. Even the kid’s menu is organic! The atmosphere is open and friendly in a pleasant ‘artsy’ style with patio dining and a separate bar area.
We started with a simple mixed green salad
(a Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing on the side), which we shared – thank goodness! – their salad servings are size LARGE!
All of the Vegetarian Pizza were tempting but we narrowed it down to two:
Pesto and Artichokes (Oganic pesto, sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, artichoke hearts, roasted garlic, pine nuts and chevre (goat cheese) topped with fresh basil.
Puttanesca (Organic olive oil and garlic, mozzarella, fresh Roma tomatoes, Kalamata olives, artichoke hearts and French feta topped with fresh basil)
…And settled on a ‘split’ medium-size so we could sample them both – a happy choice!
For Dessert Lovers, another menu with a variety of temptations. You know our affinity for Chocolate Chip Cookies (read Rainy Day Comfort Food) and there it was: Classic Chocolate Chip
(Think of the best chocolate chip cookie you ever tasted…now think bigger! This classic favorite is a rich, thick chocolate chip cookie, slowly baked to melt the delectable chocolate chips, then topped with organic vanilla bean ice cream)
For your Arizona visits only, but check Picazzo’s web site to drool over their menu, learn about their GO (Green/Organic) Movement, and find a location for your next visit to Arizona…and maybe–just maybe — you might encourage them to open a ‘kitchen’ in your community!
