This place is a little off the beaten path but it is well worth the drive. The pizzas are…read morephenomenal. I would characterize it as New York style... a thin crust that is soft enough to fold. They use fresh, gourmet ingredients to create some interesting flavor combinations. Though I believe the owner is a native Italian, there is definitely some local (ie Mexican) influence. Would I like jalapenos on my pizza? Um, yes please! Since it is a very new restaurant, there are still some kinks to work out (hence the 3 stars). This is definitely a mom and pop operation. Still, the staff is friendly and our Sangria glasses (ok, plastic cups) were never empty. It is worth a visit just to check out the funky decor. Murals, woodwork and pottery from local artists are on display and the furniture is very electic. The building was formerly a wine cellar for the adjacent winery but it has now been completely transformed - the original wood and stonework is all still there but now there's tons of color everywhere and not a blank wall in the place. So, if you ever find yourself driving along the highway that runs between Patagonia and Nogales, keep your eyes peeled for a large cement building that has been brightly painted with strands of Christmas lights hanging from the eaves... and in front of that a small sign with an arrow that simply reads "pizza".

Ok, we were planning to drive to Patagonia and stop at the Velvet Elvis pizza place, but when we…read morearrived.. it was closed. All set for pizza we did a mad search on yelp and found Cafe Kino.. Well this time I called ahead and got Tino the owner.. who said.. that they were also closed, but he was there and 'what the heck' come on over. We arrived and Tino was outside with his arms up saying "you made it, Welcome!" his family and friends were outside having a little bbq, and he opened the restaurant for us.. we could sit anywhere.. we told him we wanted pizza he asked if we like wine (this is a winery too) he then brought us a big pitcher of Sangria.. yum! and then some chicken wings (they were chicken breasts with raspberry chili sauce) he said he had made it for his family but that he could make more and he gave it to us. Then some more wine tasting, a hand squeezed lemonade for my son and he started up a pinball machine for my 6 year old to play. Tino then said.. you guys like food, I'll bring you some salads and then make the pizza. He brought a plate of russian salads, beets, peas, potatoes and fresh bread with pesto.. double yum! He asked what we liked on our pizza.. now remember.. he wasn't open, he was doing all of this himself! amazing! we asked for cheese and veggies.. Well, the cheese was amazing.. a white pizza with pickled vegetables, best ever! We could hardly fit any in after the first couple of courses! So, we had some leftovers. Tino brought a box and I realized.. we never saw a menu never asked the price, and I had to ask.. so.. "how much?" he said.. "whatever..." so we pulled out what cash we had and gave it to him and he said.. "that's good" We not only had an amazing meal in an amazing place, but a crazy story to tell. STop by and check this place out.. you'll see the columns and the sign that says Winery-Pizza. Also, if you like decorations that seemed to be inspired by a Hunter S. Thompson dream.. you'l really love this place. 5 Stars to Tino and Kino Cafe!

We looked at their current website, on Trip Advisor, and on Yelp before we left the house. When we arrived, the doors were locked, so my wife called them. The recording said they were no longer a pizza restaurant, and they changed their hours to just the weekend. They need to get everytbing up to date as to not inconvenience potential customers.

The place was very clean, with great ambiance. There was lots of parking. The service was amazing, every staff was very nice and they were very kind to seat us even though they were 30 minutes from closing. I ordered the seafood cioppino (they have options for white wine or red wine sauce). The flavor was super well balanced, the seafood was plentiful and perfectly cooked and very fresh. The quality was very high. It also came with a minestrone soup that was chock full of vegetables in a savory tomato broth. Prices were very good, this seafood pasta was about 28 dollars and it could easily feed two, and again it was chock full of high quality fresh seafood. My friend got the kids pepperoni pizza because he wasn't very hungry and it was huge still, can't imagine what the regular size would be. This place definitely deserves a stop. I will for sure be returning if I'm ever in the area.

I really wish the crust was a little bit thicker, but I still enjoyed it. The cheese sticks weren't bad either, they tasted good as well. It was very quiet and well maintained.

Note: there was one table with 8-10 people sitting inside. One table on patio with 2 people. There were 3 employees standing at front counter!? Shelby's website said they were open. I called Slice and they said that Shelby's was closed? I said I am here right now they are open. ?? In talking to several of my neighbors it appears this is happening to others. They have experienced the same treatment order pizza on the app Slice and get to Shelby's only to be told they canceled it.?! I would suggest if Shelby's doesn't want to go orders communicate that so folks are aware. Cancel the Slice app. I did call Slice corporate to report. I have referred many customers to them, unfortunately I will not be doing that anymore. Extremely poor customer service!
