Pizza from Craft 64
We love Scottsdale, as do you, and survey after survey continues to show that our city stands tall against everywhere else in the city. But we weren’t expecting the results of a recent survey…
Once again, Scottsdale has proven that excellence isn’t just about pristine golf courses and luxury resorts. The desert jewel of Arizona has secured multiple spots among the world’s finest pizzerias in 2025, reinforcing its reputation as a city that consistently punches above its weight in lifestyle rankings.
Craft 64 and Il Bosco, both Scottsdale establishments, have earned coveted positions among the top pizzerias, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with acclaimed venues from culinary capitals like New York and Los Angeles. Given Scottsdale’s relatively modest size compared to these metropolitan giants, these rankings are especially noteworthy.
This latest culinary recognition follows a familiar pattern for Scottsdale: a city that routinely appears at or near the top of national lifestyle surveys. Whether it’s being ranked among America’s best places to live, top golf destinations, or premier wellness retreats, Scottsdale has mastered the art of delivering world-class experiences across multiple categories.
The pizza recognition speaks to something deeper about Scottsdale’s character: an unwavering commitment to quality that attracts both talented chefs and discerning diners. Craft 64’s artisanal approach and Il Bosco’s authentic Italian techniques represent the kind of culinary craftsmanship that has become synonymous with the Scottsdale brand.
For residents and visitors alike, these accolades serve as validation of what locals have long known: that Scottsdale doesn’t just compete with major cities, it often surpasses them. In a world where authentic quality is increasingly rare, Scottsdale continues to deliver experiences that earn global recognition, one perfectly crafted pizza at a time. And yet again, we find ourselves thankful that we live in a city like this.
