This Arizona chain has several locations around the state, all owned by Rick Freedman. In 2010 he made all of his restaurants all-organic, with menus featuring pizzas pastas, salads and soups, most of which have gluten-free options.
Flavor abounds in all the selections, whether you opt for the spicy Thai peanut with chicken pizza on a gluten-free crust or the chipotle elbows pasta with free range chicken, colorful sauteed peppers and green onions tossed in a spicy chipotle alfredo sauce or the watermelon mint mojito and everything in between.
Their daily happy hour features tasty drink specials - most of which also feature organic alcohol - as well as $5 plates to nosh with friends, including baked artichoke bottoms, dolmas and hummus, wings and more. The Flagstaff location is conveniently located within walking distance to Northern Arizona University and features a relaxed but artful interior space, bar area and covered outdoor patio. They'll even bring you a blanket to wrap up in if it gets too chilly for you.
