Best pizza. Hand tossed crust and a wood fire. Friendly and eager to serve you. Great stop, glad I came in

Staff very friendly, called ahead for pizza as we were traveling. Pizza was so so, had BBChicken pizza, could hardly find the chicken, bread on the dark side. Was certainly not with the $30 tab, we had water. Disappointed read more

A slice of American history to behold if you are motoring on AZ State Road 89 thru Yarnell and Peeples Valley. This cafe is a small, retro delight. No liquor is served but we started with a steaming hot latte and hot chocolate. The pizzas are hand-tossed and baked in a wood-fired oven. The Big Al's Deluxe American-Style pizza was very tasty and included their own fresh, savory sausage. Our guests enjoyed their Maui Wowie Hawaiian pizza. The menu also includes wings, salads, and sandwiches. The food is fresh, the vibe is unique, and our server, Ember, was very friendly. There is a pink T-Bird parked outside as a visual signpost. read more

To say this place is AMAZING would be an understatement! From the moment we walked in the door, they worked so hard to make sure we felt welcomed and informed about the menu! Their prices are very fair for what you get! We ate with our 3 dogs in the little backyard area! They touched our hearts and our stomachs and we will be back! Thank you so much The T-Bird cafe staff for caring! read more

Great little stop off on our way north up to Prescott. They don't sell alcohol, but you can bring your own. Pizza was amazing. We also had a brisket sandwich, but I wouldn't get that again-a little on the dry side. Service was great. Julie took care of us. read more

This place is truly incredible. My Grandparents live nearby in Peeples Valley. I was in town visiting for 4 days and are here twice during that time, because it's the kind of food you have once and crave it, as a matter of fact I'm craving it now.. too bad I'm a 13 hour drive away! The garlic twists are to die for. Hands down my favorite item I tried. Their pizza is fantastic. Delicious flavor.. the crust isn't too thick and doughey and it's not too greasy either which is a major plus in my book. The pizza sauce is fantastic and not in a way that overpowers the rest of the pizza. I also had their house salad, which was also incredible with just the right toppings. When you think small town diner or small town restaurant, this is the place you think of. If you're nearby and looking for a bite to eat. I highly recommend! read more

Great food, usually good service. BUT LOOK FOR AN ADDED CONVENIENCE FEE. Added to our bill. I asked what it was for after my husband paid the bill. I was told its for credit card usage. But we paid cash. I asked for it to b refunded to me. Unfortunately the server was rude and snarky. She said " well your husband didn't mind".... she then handed me my money and said " just take your money and leave"..... if the owner sees this...we are local and often bring large groups for lunch. Not a good look. read more

Service was good but a bit slow, they were busy. Food is Excellent BUT the check had a "convenience fee" charge of 2.50. Was told this was for using a credit card but we paid in cash. Lady was Very rude about it. The reality - it is illegal to charge someone for something they do not use/get. read more

Always better than the rest. Enjoy takeaway during the CoVid-19 pandemic and keep our local gems thriving.

This place has rude employees. Do not recommend. I'm my whole life I have never been treated so bad by a person who works in a food establishment. We used to like line to go there but no more. read more

Update since last visit: they do now accept credit cards, and they still make some of the best pizza around!

The pizza is AMAZING! And the staff is sooooo incredibly kind. Lisa Marie was such a sweet server and had all kinds of fun facts about their establishment, and makes an amazing salad. Paul Luke made us killlllller pizzas, and the best gluten free pizza dough I've ever had. Will definitely be back read more

We stopped on our way to Palm Springs. I had the house salad and the breadsticks. My husband had the brisket sandwich. Everything was delicious. Would recommend everything we had. The waitress was sweet and very attentive. Next time we want to try the pizza. read more

Stopped in on our way back home to Phoenix from Prescott and this is by far one of the best restaurants I've been to the food was so good I had the honey mustard chicken wings the pepperoni pizza and the beer brisket oh my goodness I cannot breath I'm so full, I would drive back from Phoenix just to eat here read more

Pizza was delicious and the ingredients were very fresh. The Onion tasted like they just came out of the garden. We are very happy with the food and the service. read more

T-Bird Cafe - Great pizza and fresh ingredients. - Pizza Near Me - Peeples Valley, Arizona

Cute little roadside cafe in an old house retrofitted with a wood burning oven for their really good pizza. The pizza is the star of the show...crispy, slightly burned crust, sweet (but not too sweet) sauce, and a wide variety of gourmet toppings including house-made sausage. The remainder of the menu is salads, an antipasto plate, oven baked wings, and italian sandwiches. They use quality, local ingredients for their food and it shows...simple dishes take on fantastic flavor. Service is friendly and very informal, prices are a little higher than you might expect but not outrageous, and in our opinion it was worth it. We will definitely visit again whenever we're driving through. Some notes: Open 12-8 daily, closed Tues and Weds No alcohol, but they allow BYOB Cash only Pizza comes in two sizes: 12" and 14". Prices for pizza run between $10 and $23 read more

Man was this place a surprise. My friend raved about it so when we were passing through we stopped. The outside of this place was unassuming to say the least. Same could be said for the inside. But let me tell you what I ate here was some of the most delicious food. They have a wood fired oven to cook their pizzas! I ate breadsticks and marinara, chicken wings, pizza. All of it was just so good. My leftovers were consumed in the car before we made it back to town. I can't wait to find an excuse to go up there again. read more

Very delicious pizza! We had the veggie delight. Lots of scrumptious vegetables, cheese and homemade pizza dough. Beautiful area...Peeples Valley. Go for a drive...enjoy life :-! read more

Great stop on the way to Prescott! Highly recommended. Great Service, great coffee pizza and wings! read more

T-Bird Cafe - Awesome pizza and wings! - Pizza Near Me - Peeples Valley, Arizona

I called to order a pizza to go a few days ago. And my experience was mixed. Overall, the pizza was good, but average, equal to a pizza hut. The pizza was a large with cheese and pepperoni. It was hot upon pick up. The crust was okay and a little on the soft side for being wood fired oven, but acceptable. The amount of toppings seemed fresh and the amount was adequate or average, but it would have been better with more. The sauce I thought was better than average, with a bit of sweetness. Based on the pizza alone, I most likely would have given it a 4 stars here on Yelp, and maybe come back, but there a couple of things that will keep me from ever coming back to this restaurant again or recommending it to anyone. Here are my main reasons. 1) Pizza size - For the largest pizza on the menu, it seemed small, especially for the price. 2) Price - Keep in mind that this was the cheapest pizza on the menu, so a basic cheese pizza with one topping, on the smaller side for $17. Most of the common pizzas they offer are in the $22-25. Better plan on $50-60 for a family of 4.If it had been a great pizza on the larger side, I still would have thought that was high, but worth a splurge every now and then. 3) Rudeness - Lady was rude and short on the phone and in person. Seemed like it was an inconvenience just to be a customer. Come on Yarnell, that is not how you treat customers when you are trying to grow the community. I really wanted to like this place, because it is a small town and I know it is tough for small businesses, but I think the prices are geared towards the tourists and the food, although good, does not justify the price. Add on top of that the attitude towards customers, I can live without it. read more

Wow - what a pleasant surprise. Perfectly cooked, supremely fresh pizza in the middle of...nowhere! Our family of five ordered a standard pepperoni and Al's deluxe combo. Both were Ahhhhmaaazing ! Bring cash or your checkbook (?!?), this place does not take plastic. read more

Love this pizza shop! We traveled up from Phoenix to visit Yarnell and found this little gem. Real wood burning pizza oven, waitress and the chef were extremely nice. Definitely coming back. read more

Stopped for dinner on our way from Prescott to Phoenix. Wonderful meal - my husband and I each had a side salad, shared a 12 inch pizza Margherita and 8 wings in the hot sauce. Best pizza I've ever had - everything was so fresh; perfect home made crust that was both chewy and crisp on the edges and lots of fresh basil and vine ripe tomatoes under the bubbling cheese. Flavor gobsmacked me. Wings were great as was the salad. Cozy and quaint too with very friendly and efficient service. And great local art on the walls - I even bought a painting! We'll be back! read more

What a wonderful road trip stop! Food was delicious and fresh; staff super friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone driving this beautiful stretch of 89. Also, patio is dog friendly! read more

Stopped in because of yelp reviews. Not disappointed. Family run. Great service. Great food. Nice family, super polite.

We took a random route to Prescott, passed through Peeples Valley and found this gem. This may become our preferred way to go so we can stop. Sandwiches were the perfect size. The fennel sausage was amazing - just enough fennel. My husband and I split the fennel sausage sandwich and meatball sandwich. Delicious! Handmade sausage and the scratch rolls were soft and fluffy. Next time - pizza!! read more

We had two great brick fired oven pizzas tonight. Pleasantly surprised !! Very nice tiny restaurant with seating for maybe 20.

Stopped by today, while driving through town. We had a Maui Wowie, and it was delicious. They make their own dough here, and you can taste the freshness. We sat at Laura's table, and she did a great job. My wife's Iced Tea was never empty. This gets 5 stars alone. We drive Hwy 89 a couple times a month, and will be back. This place has been around for years, but is new to us. We will definitely be back. read more

Great wood-burning oven pizza. Best thin crust pizza we have had in quite a while. Best salad around. Best bleu cheese dressing, too. But, be warned: The Old World pizza uses marinated artichoke hearts, which give the pizza a vinegar flavor. That may be good or bad for you, depending on whether you like vinegar-flavored pizza. If you don't want vinegar, it is a great pizza if you ask them to leave off the artichokes. Big Al's is popular, and is very good if you like lots of ingredients. Their simpler pizzas really come into their own. Their "Marguerite" pizza really shines, with each ingredient complimenting the others. Great sandwiches, as well. About the only weak spot is the lame tomatoes they buy. It is definitely worth the drive to get such a great pizza. Or make it part of a trip. read more

Enjoyed a delicious loaded veggie woodfire pizza and burger with side of slow cooked beans, cheese and onion. Great service. Perfect road stop for hungry families! read more

T-Bird Cafe - Thunderbird Cafe 5 - Pizza Near Me - Peeples Valley, Arizona

Not the best pizza I've ever had, but a damn good pizza. The beans were among the best I've ever had. Giant chunks of really good ham and a delicious broth. Excellent, friendly service. A sign in the kitchen, to the staff, read "What separates a great cafe from a 'greasy spoon'? Attention to detail!" I like that. Cash only. read more

Amazing! Amazing! Amazing! We have gone there the last three summers while vacationing in Congress, AZ. This is our go to place. It is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere, but a gem to seek out!! Great stop on the way up to Prescott. Pizza is their thing and they do it right! The pizza is incredible! Toppings are very fresh and cooked to perfection! The Wood Burning Oven was shipped from Italy!! Great place to take kids. Bring cash...no credit cards! We will continue to go back year after year!! Love small, local places that are delicious!! read more

On my bicycle ride I happened upon the Thunderbird Cafe. Nestled in the beautiful Peeples Valley, it is a crown jewel. The wood fired pizza oven was fired up in the smell of fresh baked pizza filled the air. I had the prime rib sandwich on home baked roll and the fresh from the garden house salad, topped with the house made blue cheese dressing. They don't skimp on the cheese. I'd come often if I lived near here. I wish they were in Fairbanks Alaska where I'm from read more

A few weeks ago we rode motorcycles up to T-Bird café from Phoenix. Based on the reviews we'd seen, we had high expectations and it did not disappoint! we had a veggie pizza baked in the wood fire oven and it was delicious! The staff was super friendly as well as the other patrons. It's a small, charming place and I highly recommend it! read more

I saw the other positive reviews so we decided to try it for lunch. Great meatball sandwich. The bread was excellent. My wife loved her salad. Great place for lunch on a scooter ride. read more

A little hidden gem well worth the stop. I moved out to California from the east coast 3 years ago and decided to take a roadtrip. Hands down best pizza I've had in a long time. We also ate a salad, also quite fulfilling. Such a friendly atmosphere and amazing food at an affordable price. Simply a must! read more
