The Best Pizza In Arizona Actually Comes From An Unassuming Gas Station
The biggest debate when it comes to pizza is whether New York, Chicago, or Detroit-style reigns supreme. Most people land squarely in one camp and can seldom be swayed – until they experience New York Pizza & Wings in Arizona, that is. This gas station pizza joint may not look like much on the outside, but it turns even the most diehard deep-dish lovers into thin-crust fanatics.
Some of the best pizza in Arizona is hiding where you'd least expect to find it: a gas station.
New York Pizza & Wings is located inside the Chevron on East Brown Road in Mesa, churning out dozens of thin-crust pies each day for hungry locals and travelers alike. The best part? It has a drive-thru!
Co-owner Jimmy Recchia is actually from Chicago, so it comes as a surprise that he prefers New York-style pizza.
That's because everything is made fresh daily, from the sauce to the meatballs to the dough itself.
Whether you prefer a classic like pepperoni or cheese or a more unique specialty pie such as Hawaiian or Meat Lover's, rest assured there's something to please every palate.
