The Valley’s growing restaurant scene is finally receiving some national attention.
According to Zagat’s recent top 10 ranking of “America’s Next Hot Food Cities”, Phoenix/Scottsdale checks in at No. 9 on the esteemed food guide’s list.
Citing the influence of a “rapidly diversifying local palette”, Zagat said Phoenix and Scottsdale are quickly becoming hotbeds for quality cuisine, specifically when it comes to pizza.
In fact, the Valley lays claim to as many Vera Pizza Napoletana-certified pizzerias as New York City, headlined by Pizzeria Bianco, which Zagat said is responsible for reshaping the Valley’s pizza scene as we know it.
