Manager’s Corner
This month I would like to address community safety concerns
throughout Grayhawk that have recently been brought to the attention of
the on-site management team. However, I would first like to commend
Grayhawk’s security staff for the outstanding job they do and for the
great service they provide to all of you as homeowners. Grayhawk is a
very large community and, due to its size, the security staff deals with
a wide range of safety concerns – some of these they are able to resolve
while others require involvement from outside entities, such as the
Scottsdale Police Department, APS, or the City of Scottsdale.
When dealing with safety/security issues, the primary responsibility for the community
patrol officer is to observe and report what has occurred, and, if possible, attempt to resolve
the problem or situation. This is often not possible because, as I am sure you are aware,
Grayhawk’s security staff does not perform police duties or functions, and they have been
instructed to never put themselves in harm’s way.
However, Grayhawk’s security personnel have been effective in addressing many, mostly
minor, types of issues that occur within our community. If you observe any suspicious activity in your neighborhood or in a common area located in Grayhawk, please report this to
the Grayhawk Community Association (GCA) office at 480-563-9708 during business hours
(Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.) or the on-site security staff by calling either the Raptor
guardhouse at 480-502-5078 or the Talon guardhouse at 480-502-7685, and a community
patrol officer will be dispatched to the area. You are also encouraged to report any mischievous
or inappropriate behavior by children within the community such as skateboarding or bicycle
riding on the tennis courts; driving a motorized vehicle on the community trail system or in
the greenbelts; or graffiti/ defacing neighborhood monument signs, ramadas, picnic tables,
community walls, or mailbox structures. I mention these examples because these activities have
all been reported recently to the GCA office.
Our community patrol does a good job of detecting this type of activity when driving
through the community, but they cannot be everywhere at once and we appreciate your help
in our attempts to reduce incidents of this nature. Finally, please notify the GCA office or the
security staff as soon as you can after observing the type of activity described above and try to
be as detailed as possible regarding the location and type of incident. With your help, together
we can make Grayhawk an even better and safer community.
On a separate note, please mark your calendars for two big community events this
month – the Grayhawk Food Truck Picnic on Sunday, October 20 and the Annual Pumpkin
Patch event on Saturday, October 26. These community events are a great way to meet fellow
Grayhawk neighbors and to have great time in the beautiful fall weather. See you there.

GRAYHAWK MASTER ASSOCIATION - BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2013
GRAYHAWK COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION OFFICE
5:30 PM – BOARD BRIEFS
COMMITTEE REPORTS
At the start of the Grayhawk Community Association Board of
Directors meeting, CCMC Treasury Analyst Cathy Cook did a presentation for the Board and those in attendance on the Grayhawk
investment policy and how funds are allocated and invested. She
explained that between the Grayhawk Community Association
and the Retreat Village Association, there are over 40 investment
accounts to manage, and this can be a very complex process to
make sure all of the accounts are FDIC insured. These funds are
invested in money market accounts, CDs, CDARs, and investment
saving accounts (ISAs). She was available to answer any questions,
as was D.J. Cole, the Chief Operating Officer for CCMC, and Nick
Ferre, the Vice President who oversees Grayhawk.
Development Committee
David Van Omen reported that the developer for Jefferson at
One Scottsdale finally made their rental pricing available. The first
units are projected to be available by the middle of October for
occupancy.
Prices on the one bedroom units will start at $1,229 for
approximately 800 square feet. Two bedroom units will start at
$1,517 for approximately 1,000 square feet. The prices will vary by
floor plan, location and view. They will also be offering garages at
$100 a month for a single bay and $150 a month for a double bay
garage.
More information can be found at www.jeffersonatonescottsdale.com.
A McDonald’s restaurant is going to be built at Pima Crossing
at DC Ranch. It was noted that Cold Beer and Cheeseburgers had
expanded, and the new space was very nice. It was also mentioned
that a Sprouts Farmers Market may also be going in on the southeast corner of Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale Road, but that had not
been confirmed by the committee.
Operational Review Committee
Don Morse reported Grayhawk has a small but growing
problem with graffiti, however, there has been a decrease in the
number of incidents of vandalism at the pools.
The QuickPass to ABDI transition went very well and
there were very few issues in rolling out the gate access system.
Management staff was commended for their hard work on the
project.
Landscape Committee
Arlene Smith reported that DLC Resources had finalized a
map showing the areas that they would like to not overseed this
year. The map was presented to the Board for any questions or
comments.
A motion was made and approved to accept the map as presented and move forward with the first phase of the turf rotation
project in 2013.
Community Enhancement Committee
Bob Mann reported that there was not a meeting.
Programs Committee
Jennifer Sheets reported the Back to School Blowout had
been a success. Approximately 200 people attended to enjoy giant
games, free frozen yogurt, caricatures and a live DJ as they celebrated the start of the 2013/2014 school year.
Cooking with Chef Jeff was well-attended, and everyone raved
about the menu during this class. Chef cooked everything from
Crab Stuffed Shrimp to Brie and Turkey Burgers and everyone left
with full bellies and great recipes to take home and try themselves.
Communications Committee
Steve Jesson reported that the committee was working on
finalizing the Emergency Evacuation tri-fold informational packet

There was not an Election Committee meeting during August.
New Business
The GCA Board of Directors reviewed the proposals for the
crack sealing and street sealing project in the Pinnacle neighborhood in 2013.
A motion was made and approved to accept the proposal submitted by Sunland Asphalt for this project at a cost of $8,574.31
and this project is to be funded through the Pinnacle neighborhood
reserve fund.
Treasurer’s Report
Michael Fee reported that the GCA had finished the month of
July under budget, with the GCA’s water expense being approximately $15,000 under budget in July due to an increase in rainfall
which allowed the association to significantly reduce the watering
schedule during the month.
Through July, the GCA has added $396,950 to the Community
Enhancement Funds due to new home sales.
Management Report
Michael Fee reported that a new candidate had been interviewed for the Lifestyle Director position and was being offered the
position.
Don Morse, Linda Shaw and Michael Fee met with the
Grayhawk Golf Club regarding trimming the fence line along the
golf course so that the painters could complete the wall painting
project. If the trimming work is not completed, the Board and
management may attempt to work with the Fire Marshall from the
City of Scottsdale to address the issue as a fire hazard.

Brooke Morrison
Grayhawk PTO President Elect
Ahhhhh! Things are finally falling back
into rhythm, the scorching heat is slowly
subsiding and school is back in session
“Yippee, I’m a very happy Mom!” Every year
when the kids get out for summer vacation, I’m so excited, but I’m also ecstatic when they go back to school
because despite how precious they are, we all know kids are a lot of
work! Thank goodness for Grayhawk Elementary School’s amazing
teachers! Their patience will always inspire me. Just because the kids
were out for the summer, doesn’t mean the Grayhawk PTO stopped
working.
This summer, GrayhawkPTO.com was launched! It's a onestop shop for all Grayhawk parents and anyone who is seeking
school related news. If there is information you need, it is covered
on GrayhawkPTO.com. Downloading forms, making tax deductible
donations, and signing up as a volunteer are just a few of the additional things you can do on the website. Grayhawk PTO’s very own
VP of Fundraising Shannan Stanciu did an amazing job bridging visual
appeal with functionality. The website is a simple and user-friendly
way to get connected to Grayhawk Elementary School. So stop by,
take a look and see if you can spot a picture of your favorite Grayhawk
student!
In the spirit of getting connected, my #1 recommendation to
parents, grandparents, and caretakers is to sign up for eNews and “Yep,
you guessed it”, you can do it at the GrayhawkPTO.com web site.
eNews is a weekly reminder of school happenings sent directly to your
Inbox. It’s a lifesaver for busy people, and if you are like me, you will
never have to fear that you’re going to miss a half day or be given the
evil eye because you missed Friday Treats or the Book Fair.
Sometimes, it’s the small details that prevent people from fully
getting involved in the school or community, but given the right tools
and a nudge in the right direction, we can all be actively involved with
our youth. So save a tree, plug in, log on to GrayhawkPTO.com and
get connected!

Food Trucks Rolling in to Grayhawk
On October 20 at 1:00 pm, six

Sides will include "panko breaded rice,
potato, and Mac n cheese balls" in assorted
flavors. The crazy sounding creations will
take influences from several culture's cuisines including Kimchi fried rice balls with
sambal (a chili-based sauce popular in
Indonesia and Malaysia), Spanish rice balls
with Serrano cilantro cream, and mashed
potato balls served with a pan-made gravy.
Also on the menu: rosemary garlic fries and

Pizza People
It was the
summer of 2011 and
Tim and MaryBeth
Scanlon were ready
to go into business
for themselves.
Armed only with
their shared love of pizza, a couple of
recipes and limited kitchen experience, they
started the O’Scanlon Test Kitchen in their
modest Central Phoenix home. Two months
later, a start-up loan acquired and perfected
pizza recipe intact, they launched the Pizza
People Food Truck. Paulie (the pizza truck)
had been a mail truck on the ASU Tempe
campus and an electrical contractor truck in
his previous lives but he was now retrofitted
and equipped to become Phoenix’s premier
pizza making kitchen on wheels. They hit
the streets in October of that year and have

never looked back.
Garnering awards and critical acclaim
over the next two years, they have travelled
the Valley of the Sun and beyond serving
their delicious artisan pizzas to a hungry
and adoring public. Much like the streets
of Central Phoenix, the road has been filled
with potholes. Their opening night was
scheduled to be at the first official Phoenix
Food Truck Festival on Roosevelt Row. They
made it but just barely, as Paulie’s retrofit
was finally completed after midnight, the
day of the festival. Perseverance and intestinal fortitude got them on their way that first
season as mechanical break-downs, oven
issues and personnel hiccups threatened
to sideline them throughout the year. The
following April brought their first out-oftown opportunity at the Las Vegas Foodie
Fest. The festival was a rousing success
in more ways than one as their daughter,
Stella Lucia, was unknowingly conceived
that weekend. Three weeks later, back in
Phoenix, Tim almost lost his life in a motorcycle accident just outside of Steele Indian
School Park. Luckily, his notoriously hard
head saved him and after four months of
surgery and physical therapy, Tim was back
on his feet and Pizza People was back on the
streets. Baby Stella was born the following
January and less than six months later, the
concept of the Pizza People Pub was born.
Scheduled to open in late September on
Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix, the
Pizza People Pub will be a brick and mortar
realization of the Scanlon family dream.

SuperFarm SuperTruck
Serving farm-tofork fare, SuperFarm
SuperTruck is a
mobile extension of
the Superstition Farm
with an overall hope
of creating foods that
highlight the fresh
ingredients from their farm as well as incorporating fresh ingredients from other local
growers. Casey Stechnij is a 3rd generation
farmer and native of Arizona. As the Valley
grew, the family decided to start doing farm
tours. Tired of sending away hungry guests,
Casey decided to open a restaurant on the
farm, but after endless regulations and rules,
the project was abandoned. However, Casey
saw the rise of food trucks in the other parts
of the nation and thought it was a trend we
would see here in the Valley. He realized
that an added bonus of a truck was having a
mobile kitchen to use as marketing for their
core business - Superstition Farm. Thus
SuperFarm SuperTruck was born!
While Casey did have an ice cream
shop, Udder Delights, he had no formal
training in cuisine. So a menu was created
using only what he knew- fresh, honest
ingredients. Nothing frozen can be found
in their recipes, except for their homemade
Udder Delights ice cream! Everything is
made from scratch - even the sauces and
look ma - no microwave to be found in their
kitchen!
"Farm fresh comfort food with a twist"
is the motto and the giant viewing window
allows guests to watch them lovingly
prepare your food. It is a true departure
from the "roach coaches" many people have
associated with mobile food. They have won
countless awards over the past 3 years, but
are especially proud of winning "Best Lunch
under $7" from the East Valley Tribune
readers. This was open to all food establishments in the East Valley, meaning that they

Taste-Rite
Voted best food
truck in 2013 by New
Times Dining, TasteRite offers up “real pit”
BBQ to go. In October
2010, Chef Darryl
King expanded his
gourmet catering business (Riteway Catering
Company) to include a gourmet food truck
business called Taste-Rite. With over 30 years
experience in the culinary industry, Darryl
is very enthusiastic about the new gourmet
street food truck trend that is sweeping the
country. After two years of design and construction, Chef King and his Riteway Catering
Company realized his dream of a commercial
grade, mobile catering kitchen, as well as
catering dinner parties.
Menu items range from The Big HavanaCristo Po’Boy to The Big Beef Pot Roast
Po’Boy and everything in between. Unique
side items include Green-Chili Mac and
Cheese, Garlic Tater Tots and Koolickles
(Kool-Aid soaked dill pickles).
Chef Darryl believes in using the best
local and freshest ingredients to make all of
his off-beat street cuisine Po’boys and specials

Torched Goodness
Voted the
#6 best food
truck in the USA
by Smithsonian
Magazine in
2012, Torched
Goodness specializes in torched-to-order crème brûlée. The
truck started in May 2010 in Scottsdale and
is owned by husband and wife team, Eric
& Julia Ireland. Eric holds a degree from
Scottsdale Culinary Institute and has over 20
years of experience in the restaurant field.
Having worked in kitchens all over the Valley,
his most memorable experiences come from
T. Cooks at the Royal Palms Resort. This is
where he discovered his passion of cooking
with local and seasonal ingredients. Julia
comes from a corporate background in real
estate, marketing and finance. She handles
all the event bookings, marketing and correspondence for the business.
Torched Goodness was the first gourmet
food truck to hit the streets of Phoenix
and there are now 50+. They offer over
30 flavors of crème brûlée using all natural
ingredients. Most of the ingredients are also
local, and crème brûlée is naturally gluten
free. Some of the top selling flavors are sea
salt caramel, pistachio, lavender, chipotle
chocolate and lemon coconut. During the
holiday season, there are favorites like maple
bacon, pumpkin spice, white chocolate peppermint and eggnog. Julia says, “for the past
3 years we have had regular customers who
pick up large orders of our crème brûlée to
enjoy with their families for holiday meals
which is what this business is all about. We
feel strongly about the quality of our product
and are so happy to see people enjoy it
enough to make it part of their holiday traditions”.
In addition to food truck events, Torched
Goodness does local farmer’s markets, street
fairs and festivals. However, most of their
business comes from private events such as
weddings, bar mitzvahs, parties and corporate functions. As the couple always says,
“We love a bride that chooses crème brûlée
over cake!”

Kids of all ages love Rice Krispies Treats, so you can’t
go wrong with this pumpkin-shaped variety. A major

the two in one delicious

7. Cut Tootsie Roll in half and add a half into each
pumpkin while still warm.
8. Cut small leaves from the green portion of your Fruit
Roll Up and pat down on top of the pumpkin.

Desert Foothills Theater
Desert Foothills Theater: Coming to a Pumpkin Patch Near You
This year, the Grayhawk Community
Association will be partnering with the
Desert Foothills Theater (DFT) at the
Annual Pumpkin Patch to provide a variety
of activities and opportunities for the children in attendance. Representatives from
the DFT will lead the kids in a variety of
activities at the event, and will even be
giving away tickets to one of their upcoming shows.
Desert Foothills Theater is an awardwinning theater that has been presenting
theater in the far North Valley since 1974.
They started by presenting shows in a tent
and now have performances in both a 430seat proscenium theater and 150-seat black
box. They have three divisions to their
program. These include an adult theater,
youth theater and extensive education
program (for youth through adult ages).
DFT is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. In 1985, DFT joined
the Foothills Community Foundation (FCF)
and now operates under their 501(c)(3).
FCF is not a Foundation in the traditional
sense. DFT is required to raise its own
contributed income as well as generate
earned income to cover all production,
administrative and staff costs. FCF serves
as DFT's 501(c)(3) umbrella. DFT pays
administrative overhead to FCF.

What They Do
Why They Do It
The DFT provides performance participation and attendance opportunities
for everyone ages 8-adult. Their auditions
are open to the public, and all are invited
to register for their classes. Their production season provides a variety of theatrical
experiences for audience members including musicals, comedy, drama, farce, Arizona
premieres and new works.
Creative expression is imperative to
human existence and at DFT they provide
opportunities for expression on stage,
behind the scenes, in our classes and as
audience members. Their mature actors tell
them that participating in DFT productions
provides them a quality of life they had
never expected in their later years.
Their community actors tell them that
participating in their productions allows
them to escape the challenge and stress of
their day job and provides them important
life balance.
Their young actors develop important
life skills such as teamwork, collaboration,
self confidence and more. For some this is
the one place they feel at home.
Last, but definitely not least, their audience members enjoy expanding their experiences by enjoying a variety of theatrical
experiences.
Join us this year at the Pumpkin Patch

Landscaping
Landscape Updates
By DLC Resources, Inc.
With October comes pumpkins, fall festivals, cooler weather,
and a busy landscape season! DLC
Resources is working on several
projects throughout the Grayhawk
community to increase the beauty
of the common areas residents enjoy including:
• Ongoing tree ring installation with 40 out of approximately
110 tree rings completed.
• A plant replacement program of 3,900 plants with this
phase aimed to be completed this year. This phase, as part
of a 4 year project, will replenish plants that have been
lost during the community’s life and will enhance the plant
palette for residents to enjoy for many years to come.
Benefits of Not Overseeding
While most of the grass areas at Grayhawk are in the middle of
the overseeding process, about a quarter of the Community’s grass
areas have thoughtfully been selected to not be overseeded this year.
These areas will be allowed to go fully dormant in the winter in
order to promote strong Bermuda grass in the spring.
Bermuda grass stays green usually until the first frost, around
the middle of December. The grass in the selected non-overseeded
areas will start to turn a brown, blonde or straw-like appearance.
This is the natural dormancy cycle of Bermuda grass and is not
the result of irrigation problems. Around the middle to end of
March, when nighttime temperatures begin to approach 60 degrees,
Bermuda will start to grow again and will transition to green as it
gets warmer.
Check out which areas will not be overseeded by logging into
the resident Grayhawk website at www.grayhawkcommunity.org.
Shrub Management
DLC is committed to partnering with the Grayhawk community to create a sustainable, healthy landscape for residents to enjoy.
During mid-October through May, shrubs are seasonally pruned to
roughly half of their size before the next year’s growing season. This
type of pruning permits plants to grow back into their space during
the following growing season. It also allows residents to enjoy the
seasonal color of the common area plants because they are not
being trimmed during their flowering season. Shrubs that encroach
on streets or sidewalks, or obstruct lines of sight at intersections and
near road signs, are pruned as necessary. In addition to more colorful plants, seasonal pruning creates a natural look that takes less
water and is more sustainable for years to come.
Pre-Emergent
Soaking rains bring much needed water to our desert environment. While the rain is a positive thing for our plants and water
bills, it also helps weeds grow. For effective weed control in your
yard, manual removal is the easiest way to get rid of a small number
of weeds. But in order to control weeds over a large area, herbicides
14 | Flight
are the most efficient tools available.
During the next few months, you may see DLC crews applying
a pre-emergent to help control weeds. The granite areas may have
a yellow tint due to the color that is added to the product. Preemergent is designed to prevent weeds from germinating in the soil.
It is most effective when applied prior to the rainy season. A timely
application of pre-emergent can greatly reduce the number of weeds
that germinate since it inhibits the weeds roots and does not allow
them to grow.
To learn more about weed control, visit our Learning Center at
www.dlclearningcenter.com and search weed control in our handy
search function at the top right of the webpage.

Resident Spotlight
Grayhawk, Friendship and Music
The Grayhawk Community has helped build strong and
lasting friendships by offering so much to their residents, two of
which met seven years ago as 5th graders in Mr. Matheson’s class
at Grayhawk Elementary school.
Haley Gold and Spencer Bryant both had a keen interest in
music and a love for their community. Their musical tenure began
in the very early days at Grayhawk Elementary, when they started
writing songs, singing, and playing their instruments, Haley on the
piano and Spencer on the guitar. Eventually, these interests grew
into passions, and they can now be seen performing individually
and as a duo at many different venues.
Now both 17 and in their Senior years at Pinnacle High
School, they both exemplify model Grayhawk residents by taking
full advantage of what this amazing community has to offer.
Haley and Spencer started their first joint venture, Mother's Third
Hand, as excited young babysitters at 11 years old. They participated in the Babysitting Expos and babysat for many Grayhawk
families after having been CPR certified through the classes offered
by the Community Association. It was also around that time the
girls began performing in numerous community theater productions together. Spencer has also performed at Grayhawk’s annual
Haley & Spencer age 11
Haley & Spencer age 17
20 | Flight
Santa Party, playing Christmas songs and leading Christmas Carols
for the children. Haley and Spencer even had a joint Sweet 16
Birthday Party at the Community Association Raptor and Talon
rooms with a “Red Carpet” event for 70 of their closest friends,
many going back as far as 1st grade in Mrs. Judy’s class.
Independently, Haley pursued piano and Martial Arts with
Grayhawk’s Martial Arts Instructor, Master Mark Williams, leading
to a Black Belt in 2012 as Spencer focused on mastering the
guitar. At Pinnacle High School the girls continued their pursuits
playing for Pinnacle Girls Lacrosse culminating in an undefeated
State Championship season while continuing to play their music
throughout the valley. Haley can be found after school working at
the Boys and Girls Club and Spencer at our local Bed, Bath, and
Beyond.
This year, Haley and Spencer are playing during the coveted
final Saturday night spot at the Arizona State Fair on November 2,
2013 on the Garden Stage at 8:00 pm. The main concert stage will
feature The Kidz Bop Kids at 5:00 pm, so it should be a perfect
night for the entire family. If you’re headed to the State Fair
that evening, stick around after Kidz Bop to support Haley and
Spencer at 8:00 pm.

Canasta Group
In September, the Grayhawk Canasta
group surprised their leader Sheila Ordin
with a surprise birthday party at the
Grayhawk Golf Club. It was a milestone
birthday for Sheila, and the ladies that play
with her each Wednesday in the Raptor
Room have grown to adore her so much
that they could not pass up the opportunity
to honor her.
Sheila’s good friend and fellow Canasta
player Marcia Zielinksi coordinated the
efforts, secretly planning the entire affair
behind Sheila’s back for months. Friends
came from as far as St. Louis to celebrate
with Sheila on her special day, which was
filled with great food, laughter and friendships.
It was obvious in the moments leading
up to Sheila walking in that the women
were excited to surprise their friend, and in
the moments following her walking through
the door; it was apparent that the women
in that group were more to each other than
just canasta players. They hugged, cried
and laughed like sisters. The told stories
of each other with such pride, and they all
spoke of their love of Grayhawk.
One thing was clear. They had found
their place, their community. And you can
too! There are so many ways for you to get
involved in Grayhawk, whether it’s volunteering on a committee or at an event,
joining a group like the Hiking Club or
Canasta, or just going to Ladies Night Out
or a Wine Tasting once in a while. Take the
leap, and you too can have the kind of relationships that those ladies in the Canasta
group have. The kind that last a lifetime.

Sip & Tell
National Pizza Month
Sue Lukenbill, Encore Resident
It’s that time of year again. Football is
in full swing and the World Series is fast
approaching. I love this time of year when we
can finally start to enjoy cooler mornings and
time on the patio in the evenings.
Do you remember what we celebrate this month besides
Halloween? C’mon…you know the answer! Just fill in the
blank? October is Celebrate National ______ Month. I’ll give
you a hint. Both adults and kids love this entrée… You guessed
it - it’s National Pizza Month! I love pizza so much I could eat it
daily, and I love trying different pizza restaurants. I always find
it amazing how the crust, ingredients, and sauces are so different
from one place to another. I don’t think you have lived until you
have had cold pizza for breakfast. It is my favorite way to eat left
over pizza.
This month I am passing the torch to my friend and
Grayhawk resident “Queen of Pizza” - Stephanie Clark. A fellow
member of the Grayhawk Programs Committee, Stephanie claims
to love pizza even more than I do, so I thought I’d step aside and
let her take a turn at describing some of her favorite spots:
Pizza comes from Italy. That is where the similarities stop
and the differences begin. Just like the different regions of Italy,
pizza crusts vary just the same. The best part is that over the
years and by migrating to America, the crust has changed and
evolved by region.
As a busy mom of three, we often find ourselves ordering
out…a lot! In honor of pizza month, I will fill you in on places
that are within a couple of miles that offer a good variety to cover
all tastes. I think it’s fair to say that our children don’t have the
same tastes that we do. Typically, I will make their food at home
and then pick up the adult selection for the night.
First, there is the easy and obvious: Barro’s. Barro's is great
for the whole family! Their think and fluffy crust along with their
sweet and tangy sauce really does quench our hunger for a traditional pizza. They are perfect for carryout or delivery.
Isabella’s Kitchen – located in our backyard, Isabella’s
Kitchen offers a wide variety of pizzas. To start they have a very
unique crust that leaves you wanting more! Here are some of my
favorites:
Pepperoni- handcut margherita pepperoni, rustic house made
San Marzano pizza sauce, hand pulled fresh mozzarella, garden
basil, and sliced garlic
Prosciutto- house blend of mozzarella and provolone cheeses,
nutmeg ricotta, medjool dates, thin sliced prosciutto di parma,
and wild arugula
Mushroom- house blend of mozzarella and provolone cheese,
mushroom trio consisting of crimini, portabella, and button varieties sautéed in brown butter, garlic, shallots, and white wine finished off with fresh herbs
Take a drive just down the road either to DC Ranch
Marketplace or The Scottsdale Quarter and you will find
26 | Flight
Grimaldi’s…where, yes, they have pizza! The thin crust pizza
baked in their “coal burning oven offers a unique flavor and crisp
crust.” Complete your pizza with their fresh ingredients, handmade mozzarella and yummy sauce and you have a creation that
will make your taste buds dance.
Located at Thompson Peak Parkway and Legacy Drive, Ciao
Grazie re-opened last November under new management, but
decided to keep the original menu. Grazie uses a wood-fire brick
oven to bake their thin crust Italian pizza. Topped with fresh
homemade mozzarella cheese, the pizzas are 12-13 inches in size,
and then finished off with fresh ingredients. Everything here is
fresh and made from scratch!
So, even with a busy schedule juggling children’s school
activities and pickups, we find time to get the food we want!
With all these choices, it’s hard not to want pizza every night!
