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.

We spent 85$ for the two of us and the wait staff should've ask if everything was ok beca we left full plates behind the only thing I can say positive is the place was clean! Save your money go down the street to the wood fire pizza place called country in delicious hot food with the money and wait times.

The artwork shipped from Sicily, the sparkling silverware, and above all: the food! It all begins with a warm herb bread served with a classic olive oil dip. Then, I usually get the Shrimp Scampi and it has never let me down. The shrimp is perfectly cooked, adding a rich flavor to fresh pasta. The server, Pablo, was also very attentive and had great recommendations, including a lemon cake that my parents, who normally don't like lemon flavored deserts, loved. I highly recommend making the drove to Camp Verde if you want to be transported to Italy for a night!

We called 10 minutes ahead and our table was ready 15 minutes later. Service was awful. Our server left our water glasses empty 3x during the meal and I asked for a soda but never got it. The server seemed preoccupied without obvious congestion in the restaurant. Otherwise flawless presentation and taste. We had a trio of seafoods fried as an appetizer special with shrimp clams and calamari and we shared the shrimp scampi. Perfectly cooked shrimp and pasta as well as the clams and muscles!! The server is my only reason for less than perfect stars. She wasn't on her game that service.

First time coming to Pine and had to try this place I've seen all over my Instagram. We have kids…read moreat home so we planned on ordering pick up but the online ordering was down and the phone was immediately going to voicemail so we decided to just drive the 6 minutes to the location. Once we got there we completely understood why they shut down online ordering. There was a customer that was upset and honestly I don't understand why. Some people like to be unhappy I think. I felt so bad for the workers just trying to do their jobs and crank out pizza after pizza. Especially while some angry lady yells at them because she's impatient. I saw another review before posting this that someone was mad they weren't taking more online orders or answering the phone and then were mad the pizza was taking too long? You can't be mad at both of those things lol This place is legit. They had 3 people back there making pizza from scratch. Cutting fresh pineapple and grating fresh cheese. If you want Pizza Hut timing and quality- go to Payson. There are like 3 food choices in this town with hundreds of little cabins on a weekend night. I was not shocked there was a wait and I was happy to wait it out. The workers were so nice. The pizza was worth the wait. Happy birthday to the owner lol! Get the cookie. It's delicious.

While stopping in for a drink or a sandwich it's, even in June, it's been great. There's lots of umbrellas or shade that allows for a nice cool mountain breeze to keep cool from the summer sun. Enjoying a coffee on their deck warrants for a great Mountain View. Last year I stopped by and got their coffee, and it was underwhelming; BUT we stopped by twice this year while visiting and it was a stellar improvement. I am very particular with my espresso/lattes and really enjoyed mine this time around! There are lots of choices of flavors, however, I think something that could really help improve the coffees even more would be some homemade syrup! Thank you Sip for a great time. Excited for the next time we see you.
