We Ranked The Top 7 Pizza Places In Arizona And Here Is Who Made The Final Cut

One Arizona pizzeria piles pistachios on a white pie, and people happily line up for it. Another bakes its crust with sourdough in a wood-fired oven. A third sits in an old mining town and hands out blankets when the patio gets chilly. I love that pizza here comes in...

In north Phoenix, a sprawling buffet near the old Metro Center area has been feeding big appetites for years, and it opens its doors at 11 AM every single day of the week. The draw is simple: a long lineup of Chinese buffet favorites, a cook-to-order hibachi grill, seafood options, and a dessert spread, all for one price.

Axios Phoenix

There's an under-the-radar Jamaican restaurant in central Phoenix

For nine months, central Phoenix has had a new Jamaican restaurant, although diners are just now catching on to its existence. Dig in: Earlier this week, Axios stopped by for a pre-election night meal at Champagne Cafe + Lounge , located in an unassuming storefront at 15th Avenue and Camelback Road. The latest: Champagne Cafe opened earlier this year, but business has been slow, owner Chris Martin tells Axios. That's too bad, because the food is pretty good. Martin is considering changing the name, although he says the recent addition of an "Authentic Jamaican Restaurant" banner out front has brought in more customers. "We still want to do some more stuff eventually, but the economy is kind of up and down," says Martin, who has been in Phoenix for 20 years. The jerk chicken plate ($16) at Champagne Cafe + Lounge. Photo: Zach Buchanan/Axios The vibe: I dropped in at 4pm and was greeted with reggae music and a mural of a leopard. I ordered the jerk chicken plate with rice and fried plantains, pictured above. It came out hot and fast . The chicken was juicy and had plenty of kick from the jerk sauce. I could have eaten
