Those who know, know. And now I know where the best Pizza in Arizona is served. Gotta give props to…read morea friend of the family who told us that Old Country Inn, located in Pine, AZ, made the best pizza she had ever tasted. Couldn't agree more. My wife and I spent a week in the Payson area and we wanted to enjoy some really good food, so the Old Country Inn was on our radar. Pine is a unique town with a lot of natural beauty, so we sat on the patio. The highway was busy, but that didn't matter because it was a gorgeous day. Our server Joyce was great. She made recommendations and helped us select the Burrata Pie based on her description. It did not disappoint. I wish I had taken a photo of the whole pizza before we ate the entire thing. Several things stood out. The crust is soooooo good. The char from the wood-fired oven was perfect. The pepperoni was also the best I've ever tried. Now add the dollops of Burrata Cheese, hot honey, fresh basil, and cracked pepper. Best. Pizza. Ever! I've enjoyed the numerous varieties of pizza that are available. And I've eaten at that famous one in Phoenix. Sorry, but I would choose the pie that requires a four-hour round trip over the local fav. Make the drive and you won't be disappointed!

You get 6 for $10, which is a steal. My favorites were the Mexican Lager and Strawberry Blonde. They were delicious! We were impressed with how good the food was! We did the wings, fried green beans, truffle fries, and the Southwestern Smoked Chicken sandwich. Would recommend them all! Everything was fresh and very well made. So good! Only knock was the service. It seems that they're understaffed so there was 1 server for the whole dining area. Not her fault, she was a gem, but long waits.. If you're coming to town, THAT is a excellent choice to visit! Sit outside, enjoy the weather, and have some great food and drinks. We will be back!

Pinewood Tavern was a real surprise as we don't expect much from bar food, but our dinner there…read morerecently was amazing! Everything was so good! We had the deviled eggs, pulled pork nachos, wings, and a blue cheese burger. It was all perfect! I don't normally like deviled eggs, but there were a few of us & we were sharing everything, so I tried one & discovered I really liked their deviled eggs. I liked the bacon touch they added & the spicy Chipotle mayo sauce was so good. Wings were cooked so nicely...light, nicely seasoned crisp to the outside, tender/juicy inside. Buffalo sauce was really good too. Their pulled pork nachos were amazing with all the layers of flavor. The portion is also huge! We definitely had to take most of it home. The blue cheese burger was perfectly cooked with a really good quality blue cheese. Came with a side salad & the blue cheese dressing was definitely a nice one. All this, plus drinks (soda & wine) for 3 came in under $100, which was also a surprise! Definitely a good place to grab a good, very well cooked dinner in Pine.

But while I had him on the phone I asked some questions. First off, I found this place back in 2021, but they open at 4. And my pine strawberry trip is quarterly. So yes I've been wanting to try this place for awhile. We were greeted and sat. They had zucchini flower app, we opted in. While I wasn't a huge fan of the balsamic, the flower had a perfect combo of mascarpone and ricotta, and deep fried in a light batter. Really good. I had the 1/2 and 1/2 ravioli, which are bought. Joe told me. The sauce was amazing and the sausage CANNOT be missed. Made in house and it is dope af. I want a shipment My friend had the manicotti which looked amazing. Bread is delish and you get a choice of soup or salad. Sadly, they were out of soup so salads was the option and honestly it was really good. And I'm not a salad girl. I will return. Pizza next. Joe is a one man show and the food quality is amazing. Again hours are wonk, but call and they have them recorded. Very impressive old school meals.

If you don't like pizza, definitely check out the wings. They were amazing!! The entire staff was friendly and very accommodating.
