text: I was in Scottsdale for business and got lost inside the ginormous circular/outdoor mall/shopping plaza that Picazzo was in while looking for something to eat for dinner. I know the signs outside say they have award winning lunch specials and I hoped that extended into dinner, of course. \n\nFirst of all, $18 for a medium pizza (6 slices)!?!?! Damn. I figured it must be fantastic, and I thought ... what the hell. I got the Bourbon Street Pizza. It smelled awful the whole drive back to my hotel. So pungent and fowl, I immediately regretted my decision. Sure enough, 5 minutes later, it was one of the best tasting pizzas I've put in my mouth (deja vu for me). Credit goes out to the hand-tossed dough, and the quality of the ingredients. I liked it so much I went back two days later to get a Pesto Margerita pizza. It was just ok. For a fancy pizza, it was better than a chain pizzaria (sp?) could make it, but not as good as before. They did, however, make an Awshm tortilla enchilada soup, and their bread is great. \n\nI give them four stars because I don't live here, and the novelty of eating fancy schmancy pizza that's not called california pizza kitchen (I live in LA) was, well, a bit of a novelty. There were so many items on the menu I wanted to try that I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, even though their pizza is ridiculously expensive and smells awful (both time, what are the odds?). Still, tastes great.
