These 8 Mexican Restaurants Rank Among Arizona’s Top Spots For Authentic Flavor

Somewhere in this state, beef dries in the desert sun before it ends up in a chimichanga. One restaurant on this list has been run by the same family since 1922, and I can’t stop thinking about that. That’s more than a century of tortillas, red chile, and recipes...

Local metro Phoenix pizza restaurant closes all its locations

Fly Bye , a Sam Fox concept (owned by Cheesecake Factory since 2019) that served Detroit-style pizza and wings, closed both its locations after six years. The announcement was posted to Instagram on Nov. 11. According to the post, the concept launched six years ago as a ghost kitchen and grew to two brick-and-mortar locations. "We could not be more proud of our team and the journey we've been on together over the years, especially when it comes to the relationships with the neighborhoods we've been fortunate to serve," the post read. "Thank you for making us part of your lives over the last few years." Fans can still access the food at Doughbird on the Fly window at Doughbird's Seventh Street and Missouri Avenue location. Fly Bye began in 2020 as a to-go window. Both the Arcadia and Desert Ridge brick-and-mortar shops opened in 2022. Fox stepped down from the restaurant side in November to focus on his Author & Edit Hospitality group, the hotel arm behind The Global Ambassador in Phoenix and The Twelve Thirty Club in Nashville. Fans reacted with disappointment "First Tres Leches, and NOW FLY BYE?!?!" commented Albert Rivera. Bryan Aman-Antonio wrote: "I'm so sad

The 3 best pies in metro Phoenix, according to our dining critic

I love walking into a pie shop and smelling the sugar in the air as I try to narrow down my options. The smell of baked goods is the only food smell I’d gladly wear on my clothes or in my hair. Pies, for me, signal comfort, family and friends. They represent unique people, regions and history. They fit into every season and nearly every occasion. Yes, even for weddings. My husband preferred pie, especially apple pie, to cake for his August birthday. So, naturally, I have an apple pie on the list. While there are tons of pie options at pie shops in metro Phoenix to choose from, these three are my current favorites. Banana Cream Pie at Piefection I'm typically not a cream pie person. When I bought the banana cream pie based on staff recommendation, I did so with some trepidation. Piefection converted me. The pie's silky, rich banana flavor with banana slices set against a crunchy crust made every bite perfect. While pies are generally heavy, this one is light and fluffy. I must admit, their key lime pie is a close second. Details: 6731 E. Brown Road, #104, Mesa. And 9015 E. Via Linda #103,

What Phoenix pet owners should know about New World screwworm

New World screwworm has made a recent comeback , with five confirmed cases in southeast Arizona. Why it matters: Animal owners need to be on the lookout for the deadly parasite even though no cases have been confirmed in the Valley, state officials say. Catch up quick: New World screwworm "is a highly destructive parasitic fly whose larvae feed exclusively on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals," per the Arizona Department of Agriculture. Breakouts in the 1960s and '70s led to its eradication in the U.S., but a recent resurgence in Mexico has reintroduced it here for the first time in decades. Because the screwworm burrows into live tissue, an infestation can cause severe damage and is sometimes fatal. A map of where new world screwworm has been found in Arizona. Red areas are the locations of the three infestation zones, while orange indicates the state's surveillance zone. Photo: Arizona Department of Agriculture. State of play: As of Tuesday afternoon, five cases have been confirmed in the state — two dogs, two horses and one sheep. Those five cases are in three 12-square-mile "infested zones," which no animals can exit without inspection by state authorities. Two of those zones are
