Those who know, know. And now I know where the best Pizza in Arizona is served. Gotta give props to…read morea friend of the family who told us that Old Country Inn, located in Pine, AZ, made the best pizza she had ever tasted. Couldn't agree more. My wife and I spent a week in the Payson area and we wanted to enjoy some really good food, so the Old Country Inn was on our radar. Pine is a unique town with a lot of natural beauty, so we sat on the patio. The highway was busy, but that didn't matter because it was a gorgeous day. Our server Joyce was great. She made recommendations and helped us select the Burrata Pie based on her description. It did not disappoint. I wish I had taken a photo of the whole pizza before we ate the entire thing. Several things stood out. The crust is soooooo good. The char from the wood-fired oven was perfect. The pepperoni was also the best I've ever tried. Now add the dollops of Burrata Cheese, hot honey, fresh basil, and cracked pepper. Best. Pizza. Ever! I've enjoyed the numerous varieties of pizza that are available. And I've eaten at that famous one in Phoenix. Sorry, but I would choose the pie that requires a four-hour round trip over the local fav. Make the drive and you won't be disappointed! This review was generated entirely by my brain and not AI.

Here's the thing, they really don't answer the phone. And they are busy. So just set your…read moreexpectations and deal with it if you want really, really good pizza. Even their gluten free crust pizza was good. They do that thing where the pepperonis curl up and are crunchy. Yummy!! Yes we had to go down there on a Saturday night to order to go and yes they told us an hour wait. So we sat at the bar, ordered drinks and watched the kitchen staff kill it calmly and professionally. Lots of outdoor seating, games to occupy the kids and yesterday they were celebrating St Patrick's Day with style. Fun vibe. By the way, we got our pizza in less than an hour!

You get 6 for $10, which is a steal. My favorites were the Mexican Lager and Strawberry Blonde. They were delicious! We were impressed with how good the food was! We did the wings, fried green beans, truffle fries, and the Southwestern Smoked Chicken sandwich. Would recommend them all! Everything was fresh and very well made. So good! Only knock was the service. It seems that they're understaffed so there was 1 server for the whole dining area. Not her fault, she was a gem, but long waits.. If you're coming to town, THAT is a excellent choice to visit! Sit outside, enjoy the weather, and have some great food and drinks. We will be back!

We had the deviled eggs, pulled pork nachos, wings, and a blue cheese burger. It was all perfect! I don't normally like deviled eggs, but there were a few of us & we were sharing everything, so I tried one & discovered I really liked their deviled eggs. I liked the bacon touch they added & the spicy Chipotle mayo sauce was so good. Wings were cooked so nicely...light, nicely seasoned crisp to the outside, tender/juicy inside. Buffalo sauce was really good too. Their pulled pork nachos were amazing with all the layers of flavor. The portion is also huge! We definitely had to take most of it home. The blue cheese burger was perfectly cooked with a really good quality blue cheese. Came with a side salad & the blue cheese dressing was definitely a nice one. All this, plus drinks (soda & wine) for 3 came in under $100, which was also a surprise! Definitely a good place to grab a good, very well cooked dinner in Pine.

But while I had him on the phone I asked some questions. First off, I found this place back in 2021, but they open at 4. And my pine strawberry trip is quarterly. So yes I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. We were greeted and sat. They had zucchini flower app, we opted in. While I wasn't a huge fan of the balsamic, the flower had a perfect combo of mascarpone and ricotta, and deep fried in a light batter. Really good. I had the 1/2 and 1/2 ravioli, which are bought. Joe told me. The sauce was amazing and the sausage CANNOT be missed. Made in house and it is dope af. I want a shipment My friend had the manicotti which looked amazing. Bread is delish and you get a choice of soup or salad. Sadly, they were out of soup so salads was the option and honestly it was really good. And I'm not a salad girl. I will return. Pizza next. Joe is a one man show and the food quality is amazing. Again hours are wonk, but call and they have them recorded. Very impressive old school meals.

Our server was a single person handling lots of tables, and she was absolutely killing it! Seriously, she was so sweet and doing her best under some pressure.

The cornbread was okay, a little dry. The chili was a hearty portion and included cheese and onion toppings and crackers. Highly recommended for a nice meal in the pines.

I ordered the avocado toast and asked for it without smoked salmon, but it still came out with salmon just not smoked.so I wasn't able to eat it as intended.

The service felt a bit off, as our waitress seemed pretty frazzled, which may explain the mix-ups. On the positive side, the blueberry croissant was delicious, and the carne asada breakfast was good.
