Our favorite pizza chain. Arizona-based thin crust Chicago-style (yes, not everything in Chicago is deep dish, though they do have that, too). Make sure to get a pizza cookie for dessert.

If you venture to downtown Tempe, this is the best place for bruschetta boards, sangria pitchers and charcuterie. Another plus: not packed with college kids like the rest of Mill.

Prepare to wait a while for brunch, especially when ASU is in session. But it's the best place for mix-and-match pancake or eggs Benedict flights and fancy breakfast cocktails. Also a great patio space.

Parks & Nature

South Mountain is the closest mountain for hiking to our house but it can get crowded, especially during the winter and spring months. Avoid the crowds by venturing a little further west to Mormon Loop, a relatively easy hike with good views of the Valley and a good nature escape.

Camelback is the most popular trailhead in the city. We're not huge fans because of how crowded it gets but if it's your first time in Phoenix, it's worth a hike for the great views of the city. Just be aware that you have to park away from the trailhead on the street.
