    The Kahuna Personal Pizza 6pc $16.00 (05/21/25). #ZenDoughs @TheOakCreekBrewery @VisitSedona #Sedona #Brewery #Pizza
    Jeff B.

    (Dined 05/21/25 WE @ 3:00pm): I was truly enlightened and stuffed by the zen of the dough used for their pizza and garlic knots! While I settled into my first Sedona brewery experience at Oak Creek Brewing Co., thank goodness they had Zen Dough's serving up pizzas and garlic knots that helped to absorb all of the beer I was drinking. Again, pizza was the unofficial fifth food group, and I could easily eat this every day. Honestly, beer and pizza was the perfect combination. How much dough would it cost me for all of this positive zen!? PURCHASE The Kahuna Pizza ($16.00): This 6-slice slightly larger than a personal-sized pie but smaller than a 10" version, was created with sweet pineapple chunks, savory Canadian bacon pieces, and their signature red sauce and mozzarella cheese. The crust was airy and crispy with some nice scorching, while the amount of toppings was plentiful where you had a bit of everything in every bite. At times, the cheese-pull was crazy! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=OcfeUkqdbVDdT9D2bEgGyw Garlic Knots ($8.00): A ton of garlicky bread balls of all shapes and sizes, each one was fluffy, puffy, and covered with parmesan cheese served with a side of marinara dipping sauce. I loved garlic knots, and these made me so happy! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=CXXXVAKXcga11_ecsVMiJA SERVICE An affable gentleman named Steve(?) manned this tiny eatery as the host, server, and chef - a one-person show! As I literally stepped up an opening in the wall, he quickly took my order, I paid, went back to my barstool, and about fifteen minutes later he delivered my food. The same exact thing when I ordered my garlic knots right before he closed up for the day - easy-peasy! PARKING (FREE) They either had their own medium-sized private lot or shared one with a neighboring business, which was where I found a spot. Otherwise, it appeared you were able to park along the main drag of Yavapai Dr. - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located inside the entrance/waiting area of Oak Creek Brewing Co., they were basically an order window cut into a wall with a tiny kitchen within. They had laminated menus on the counter https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=acec7G6taSPF7KJ0ZQ-iog with only a handful of items to choose from, and the rest was the brewery itself. Plenty of natural lighting entered through the shared front door while soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor any background music... until you entered the brewery. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I found peace within the food I ate at Zen Dough's and would try them again the next time I visited Oak Creek Brewing Co. There wasn't enough for me to return just for them, but as an accompaniment while I guzzled some beer, they would be an automatic choice. The menu was extremely limited to eight pizzas and garlic knots. Thankfully, everything tasted wonderful. However, I felt the pizza price was a tad high. And, the service was easy, quick, and straightforward. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $26.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    Good size and sharable ‍

    The service is fast and friendly. The pizza is always going to hit here. I've been here a few times…read moreover the years and they are consistently great with what they service and yes, the pizza is really good. Neapolitan style with a thin but chewy crust.

The food was actually quite good. That is why I gave 2 stars. The rest of the experience was less than ideal. I arrived on time to pick up my order. The lot was full, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but not convenient. The store had both a front entrance and a take out entrance. Both doors were packed with people. I squeezed into the take out area and witnessed a staff member give a customer his 2 pizzas and 3 salads, saying "you're all set!" Only to have the customer say they were missing 2 items. Then ensues the next 10 min of the staff looking high and low for those 2 items and finally determining that the kitchen did not cook them. All the while knocking other takeout boxes of food onto the ground (at least in boxes) and picking them back up again. Also muttering under his breath "I'm busy and no one is helping me!" When it was finally my turn, he was disorganized and asked me several times my name and when I had placed the order. He eventually found the my order, and in typical Murphy's law fashion, mine was a box that had fallen onto the floor. The burrata caprese was in a clear plastic container and it looked like the dog's breakfast. But by this time, I just wanted to get outta there.

More traditional ingredients vs the clique hippy style place up the road (which I also like). I bet it's incredible on their patio. The dining room was busy and clean, well kept. Beautiful handmade ovens.

    This place has ruined me in the best way possible!! I will be dreaming of the delicious food here…read moreand am beyond excited for the next time I get to eat here. I am salivating as I type. We started with their Italian Salad, ordered the Ortolana Pizza and their Bolognese Special. When I bit into their Bolognese Pasta, I got schooled as to what Bolognese really tastes like. For the Ortolana Pizza, we added the honey chillin sauce to it and also requested for it to be made with their sourdough. Highly recommend both add one. Honestly the best pizza & pasta I've ever had. Since the dinner was beyond, we decided to get their tirimisu dessert, we were surprised at how large the serving was, absolute delicious, not too sweet. Just perfect. Presentation was phenomenal. Staff was so friendly & you could tell the chefs take such pride in their work!! Every seat is a great seat at this restaurant. We sat at the bar & it felt like we were able to really feel the soul of the restaurant right in front of the pizza oven!! Great place. Chef's kiss!! Xoxo

What really elevated our night, though, was Martin's exceptional service. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel incredibly welcomed from start to finish. He checked on us throughout the meal without ever being overbearing, and his energy honestly made the whole experience that much better. We'll definitely be back for the food, but Martin is the reason this visit felt memorable. He's a star in our eyes.

Parking was easy, and we were greeted and welcomed as soon as we walked in the door, then ushered to our seats right away. Our server, Harmony, was speedy, attentive, and super knowledgeable about the menu. The atmosphere was relaxed and warm, with a great window view of the surrounding Sedona beauty! It made all of us feel at ease and ready to dig into some grub! I'm the only GF-er in my family, but none of them ever mind going here. We've been to Picazzo's lots of times down the hill, and I was hoping they'd be just as consistent up the hill too--hopes granted! I enjoyed the Limoncello Margarita--very tart and tequila-forward. I substituted a salt rim for their usual sugar rim...rookie mistake. They know their stuff--the sugar rim would definitely have made it that much better! For appetizers, we ordered the Baked Brie with GF focaccia bread (the fig spread was delish, and the Brie was ooey-gooey, salty perfection), and the spinach artichoke dip with the GF flatbread (so delightfully creamy). Delicious on all fronts-- even better together on the focaccia! For our meal, my husband and I shared two plates: Spicy Baked Rigatoni and the Spicy Chipotle Chicken. Both had savory, cream-based sauces with rigatoni that did not taste GF (kudos!) and were mouthwateringly good! We didn't have enough room for dessert, but we definitely left content. Safe to say that Picazzo's is a consistently delicious and welcoming place to share a meal...in the Valley or up the hill!
