Otto Pizza & Pastry

Suhail
Their weggie pizza is also banging, the dough is straight up cash money.

Cyril
What is lovely

Rydberg
Their chef is hella French and its a family run place.

My Pie

Cyril
Good lunch break pizza, its all about that angry bird or pesto chicken for mes

Suhail
Pizza my way all the way. Used to have unlimited wegetables which meant a mound of wegetables with a bread tray. Unfortunate that it no longer exists but still solid lunch choice.

Marky
Best New York-esque pizza I've had in Arizona so far.

Noble Eatery

Suhail
Best bread I've had in Arizona so far though unfortunately, you have to wake up early to go to the farmers market since the store is only open on weekdays and closes at 4pm. Would also recommend their roasted brocollini.

Alice
Delicious bread.

Jenn
Great bread in Arizona.

Cherryblossom Noodle cafe

Cyril
Great noodles place.

Suhail
Cozy little place for noodles, their tofu was great.

Happy Baos

Marky
Sick soup dumblings.

Testal Mexican Kitchen

Miguel
Great burrito place.

Suhail
They got great vegetarian options and the potatoes in their burritos are magnificient. Plus its on my favorite street in Arizona.

Fly Bye

Suhail
Detroit style pizza from the same folks who created Zin Burger.

Organ Stop Pizza

Suhail
Alright pizza but they got a bigly Organ and have special performances on Christmas.

Spinatos Pizzeria

Suhail
Me favorite pizza, didn't think there was such a thing as good wegetarian pizza. Their marinara sauce is wundaba, they also sell it at the restaurant and at sprouts.

Hudson Eatery & Bar

Suhail
Best fries according to Phoenix New times.

Baby Kays Cajun Kitchen

Suhail
Their crab cake is mad good and the live music is a bonus.

Republica Empanada

Suhail
Haven't gone here yet but heard many good things.

Mandi House

Suhail
The best (and only) Saudi restaurant and its right here in Tempe. It also has the marker for great Saudi food which is floor seating. It used to have a second restaurant YS Mandi but that restaurant now has a different owner and never changed the name.

Thailys

Suhail
Best Cambodian food according to N sources!

The Octillo

Suhail
Nice quiet seating, smoked salmon was banging plus it got served on a cutting board. Bonus: There is a cat that roams around the restaurant that you can pet.

El Chorro

Suhail
Excellent view though its a bit on the pricey side. Bring your upper class out of town friends here.
