Picazzo’s Pizza: Organic, Natural, Gluten, Preservative and Hormone Free
I have always loved eating at Picazzo’s, but I had no idea that they had such a huge gluten-free menu. I personally don’t have any sensitivities to gluten, however I know that it is a challenge for people with Celiac Disease to find restaurants that offer a gluten free menu. I am starting to see more restaurants that are offering gluten free items, however Picazzo’s Organic Italian Kitchen has always offered a gluten free menue. They have a huge selection of appetizers, pasta’s, pizza’s even desserts that are clearly marked “gf” ( gluten free) on the menu.
Founder Rick Freedman created the Picazzo’s concept in Sedona, Az in 2002 and has successfully expanded into several communities throughout Arizona. Picazzo’s Italian Kitchen has always provided a Gluten-Free menu but, has taken to the next level by going Organic, Natural, Gluten-Free and preservative and hormone free.When you dine at Picazzo’s you are supporting local, organic, sustainable and green practices of which they strongly participate.
Picazzo’s recognize the challenges faced by those who suffer from the genetic autoimmune disorder, Celiac Disease. Picazzo’s has created a diverse gluten-free menu that allows individuals to eat their favorite dishes while following their dietary restrictions. Picazzo’s has partnered with product specialists to develop a gluten-free flour which serves as the base for thier pizza dough, pastas, breads, and desserts. This gluten-free base has allowed Picazzo’s Pizza to make classic dishes that retain the texture and flavors of their gluten-filled counterparts on our menu.
Gluten-Free Crust gf
For those desiring Gluten-Free they offer an exclusive, all-natural pizza crust made with rice flour, tapioca flour and xanthan gum. Served Medium only. And yes, they do sell the Gluten-Free dough balls when we have extras. Please ask!

Ladies Choice
The Herb Box is to food, what a Boutique is to fashion. The food is exceptional, unique and made of fresh, seasonal ingredients. The ambiance is chic, yet warm and inviting.
Every woman I know loves The Herb Box! It’s the perfect place for a working lunch or to relax and chat with your BFF. Stephanie and I just had lunch at The Herb Box last week, and noticed that about 90% of their customers were women.
Why do all the women we know LOVE … The Herb Box, seriously love it? Maybe women have a more discriminating palette, that triggers a greater appreciation for the fresh gourmet wraps and market salads. Maybe the innovative women that founded the local hot spot, instinctively understand what women want. Maybe, it’s word of mouth, after all women love to chat and are likely to share their experiences with friends. I suspect it’s a combination.
The way I remember it ………….
I have been a LONG time patron of The Herb Box, in-fact I remember when The Herb Box Catering Company, first started offering lunch. The Herb Box already had a successful reputation catering events, when they started offering take-out lunch. (I think they may have had one little table and a couple chairs.) It wasn’t long before they were in such demand, that they expanded their business to include a small dining area. They were so busy that they eventually doubled their dining space and added a second location.
My Favorites …………..
CHICKEN ARUGULA WRAP free range chicken, arugula, gorgonzola, sugared walnuts, dried cherry – $12
BLACKENED CHICKEN CAESAR [SALAD or WRAP] crisp romaine, cotija, tortilla strips & chipotle-parm -$12
URBAN MARKET STEAK SALAD* watercress, red pepper, avocado, pecan, bacon, dried corn, gorgonzola -$13
BROWN SUGAR PORK CIABATTA watercress-jicama slaw, gouda and aioli – $12
SMOKED BBQ CHICKEN FLATBREAD PIZZA – $13
crisp bacon + sweet tomato + red onion + gouda + organic greens
HOUSEMADE SWEET POTATO CHIPS sea salt + curry -4
The freshly made sweet potato chips are so addicting , you will need a 7 step program to stop eating them. The Herb Box at DC Ranch goes through 120 lbs of sweet potatoes a day.
Tempting Treats ………….
Forget your diet and indulge, you only live once.
GUINNESS CHOCOLATE CAKE -9
espresso icing & shaved chocolate
S’MORES CRÈME BRULEE -12
house graham crackers + housemade marshmallows
WARM PEAR CHOCOLATE CRISP -11
with housemade honey ice-cream
HONEY ROASTED PEARS -11
rogue creamery gorgonzola & pinenut caramel

NOCA Restaurant in Phoenix is having a special event on Thursday July 29th- the next Guest Chef Dinner with James Beard Award winning Chef Robert McGrath of the newly opened Renegade Canteen, but Robert has been winning raves ever since he stepped into Phoenix. He started his career here cooking at Windows on the Green where he was nominated for the James Beard Award and …then the renowned Roaring Fork, where he won the award. He was also part of the legendary class of 1988 of Food and Wine Magazine’s “Best New Chefs” that included Rick Bayless (Frontera Grill), Daniel Boulud (Daniel), Johanne Killeen & George Germon (Al Forno), Hubert Keller (Fleur de Lys), and Thomas Keller (French Laundry). Suffice to say this guy can flat out cook… we will offer a 5 course tasting menu for $55 with wine pairings available for an additional $25…the menu is attached

Eliot Wexler & Chef Chris Curtiss invite you to experience noca’s Modern American cuisine in a vibrant atmosphere without pretense and formality. The daily changing menu utilizes the best the season has to offer.
