When I looked at their menu and saw their high ratings, I decided that we should go there for lunch after we were done in Jerome. Before lunch, we walked around the area for a bit to enjoy the nice Cottonwood weather, then headed back as opening time approached. When we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the hostess and requested a table on the patio. They were more than happy to give us a seat on the patio with views of many cars passing by while we relaxed outside. Our server was very nice and helpful, and when I mentioned that I wanted to get the Cire's pizza, he said it was one of their best-selling pizzas. I could see exactly why it was one of their top pizzas. Everything tasted fresh, and I thought the crust had one of the best textures of any wood-fired pizza I have ever had. While I unfortunately was unable to finish it due to the huge breakfast from earlier in Jerome, the pizza was still delicious. I also enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant. If anyone is looking for a great pizza place in Cottonwood, I recommend Pizzeria Bocce.

I wasn't overly impressed with the pizza for the price. The ingredients, especially the cheese, seemed to be used very sparingly to say the least, but it wasn't bad. They serve really big slices individually, so that may be the better deal. The cheesesteak with fries was much better. Really good sandwich and fries. The employees were very friendly. I'll check it out again.

When I came back to pick up my pizza, she was on the phone, while my pizza got cold. She was taking an order but should have put them on hold and grabbed my order because they were taking forever and by the time I got it, it was cold. Also when she finally went to the back to get it, she was talking and talking to the guys while my pizza kept getting colder. Then she didn't say a word as she handed it to me without even making eye contact in a blatant attempt to let me know she did not like her job of handing me my pizza. If the pizza was great I might have overlooked all that but it was a flat, overcooked cardboard with almost no toppings. Very stingy with cheese and sauce, like I had to make an effort to find any sauce or cheese on the thing. Please just go to Dominos in the Fry's center, or our nice Pizza Hut, they are a million times better than this place. I never got a cold piece of cardboard from Dominos or Pizza Hut. R & R pizza was NOT worth the $20 I paid and I further wish I hadn't tipped.

We ordered a meat pizza with added jalapeños (a $3 extra charge), a salad, and a Diet Pepsi. When the order came out the salad was missing the dressing, our pizza had no jalapeños, and they gave us a regular Pepsi. I asked for the jalapeños that I ordered and the cashier argued with me about already paying for them so I had to show my receipt. She then asked the kitchen who said it would be a few minutes. After 8 min standing there I asked for whatever she had so I didn't have to go back to a cold pizza. The pizza was just ok and the salad just bitter lettuce with no dressing. Wouldn't recommend this place until they can get their service improved.

Everybody was extremely polite, helpful, and very efficient. The food quality was amazing. I would never guess I could get such quality Alaskan crab legs in the middle of Arizona.

To top it off, they brought me a delicious cannoli with a candle in it for my birthday. I will definitely make a point of making another trip up this way to return for another dinner hopefully soon.

We were seated at Mary's table and she was a really fun server. We would ask for her next time we come. We started with one old-fashioned and it was very nice. For our entrées, we had the carbonara and the mahi-mahi with seasonal vegetables and we each had a side salad. Dan thought his carbonara was just average. It didn't have a lot of flavor and was a little on the thin side and wasn't sticking to the pasta. He would try something different next time. I very much enjoyed my mahi-mahi with a side of vegetables. I would get it again. Overall, it was a good experience.

We ended coming back about 10 min later because there wasn't too many food options around the area. The same hostess asked if a table was ok and we said yes so we ended up getting seated immediately. We were a little confused We ordered a few things, Garden salad - the portion was big but the vinaigrette dressing didn't taste like anything. I wish we got a different salad since it just tasted like plain wet salad (4/10) Pesto Pizza - very good pesto flavor and I really enjoyed their pizza dough. I wish we added some type of meat ontop because it felt like it was missing something. I'd probably get it again and ask to do that (6.5/10) or a (8/10) when I added the chicken Chicken piccata - this dish was good, chicken was a little dry. It came with polenta that was very flavorful. I was using this chicken to eat with the pizza and salad. (7/10)

Starting with the charming tram/trolley that takes you up to the restaurant, offering a fun and scenic alternative to climbing stairs. We started with a wine flight, and I have to say--the white wine options were outstanding! Crisp, refreshing, and beautifully balanced. Each one had its own character, and the staff, super knowledgeable and happy to walk us through the flavors and pairings. If you're a white wine lover, this spot is a must. The food was equally memorable. Hubs ordered the muffuletta sandwich which included layers of flavor with high-quality ingredients on a lofty rosemary focaccia bread- delish! I ordered the house salad & added organic chicken. This salad was fresh, hearty, and full of vibrant farm-to-table goodness. You can absolutely taste the difference. We enjoyed sitting outside with beautiful Arizona weather on the patio. This spot is perfect for sipping wine and soaking in the views. Merkin also offers canned wines to-go and a fun selection of merch, which makes it easy to take a little piece of Merkin home with you. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just looking for a relaxing day with great food and drink, Merkin Vineyards is a gem. Personally, I can't wait to return!
