🌡🏈 Tempe in 1996: Super Bowl XXX and the Beginning of a Transformation 🏈🌡

When Super Bowl XXX was held at Sun Devil Stadium in 1996, Tempe was already buzzing with energy, but it was still in the early stages of its major transformation. Back then, the city was a vibrant college town centered around ASU, with its quirky charm and desert beauty. It was known for its laid-back vibe, but the seeds for growth were already being planted.

Fast forward to today, and Tempe is nearly unrecognizable from that Super Bowl weekend. The skyline has changed, with major tech companies setting up shop and bringing an influx of innovation to the area. Tempe Town Lake, once a dream, is now a centerpiece of urban life, offering both locals and visitors a place to connect with the outdoors.

Super Bowl XXX Fun Facts:

In 1996, Tempe wasn’t just the hostβ€”it was the scene. The city saw over 100,000 visitors descend upon it, filling streets and local businesses with energy and excitement.
The Cowboys defeated the Steelers in a hard-fought 27-17 victory, but the real game was how the Super Bowl catalyzed growth and development in the area.
Did you know? The economic boost from Super Bowl XXX played a significant role in Tempe’s boom of the late 90s and early 2000s, contributing to the development of the Mill Avenue District and beyond.
Tempe may have been a quieter town in the β€˜90s, but hosting the Super Bowl marked a turning point. From then on, the city was poised for growth, balancing its heritage with future ambitions. πŸš€βœ¨

If you’ve ever wondered where time stands still and crust still comes with that classic 90s charm… it’s right here in Payson, Arizona.
Yes, that’s an OG dine-in Pizza Hut with an all-you-can-eat buffetβ€”pizza, wings, salad bar… $9.99. It’s not a glitch in the matrix, it’s just how things are done up here.

And listenβ€”just because I’m often dubbed a pizza snob doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a little retro red-roofed magic. The cheese hits different when it’s served with a side of memories and a vintage β€œHot Beer / Cold Pizza” poster.

Long live the salad bar sneeze guard, the thick red cups, and the dessert pizza that slaps every time.
This post is for the Pizza Hut kids who remember…

There’s something special about finding one of the classic Pizza Huts that still looks and feels the way you remember.

The red roof. The booths. The atmosphere. The kind of place that instantly transports you back to birthday parties, arcade games, and family pizza nights.

On a recent trip to Payson, I got to share that experience with my son, and for a few minutes it felt like stepping into a time capsule.

Maybe it’s the nostalgia talking, but places like this remind me that sometimes the best memories aren’t made at the newest restaurant in town. Sometimes they’re made in the places that have been there all along.

If you grew up eating at Pizza Hut, this one’s for you.

I’ve lived in Arizona for years, and somehow this was my first visit to Cheese N Stuff.

For those who don’t know, this Phoenix sandwich shop has been serving up sandwiches since 1949, making it one of the true old-school food institutions in the Valley.
And I happened to stop by at the perfect time.

They’re currently hosting their first-ever Summer Showdown, featuring two brand-new sandwiches battling it out for a spot on the menu through the end of summer.

πŸ₯‘ The Verde
πŸ… The Biltmore

I tried both, and while they’re each bringing something completely different to the table, The Verde was the clear winner for me. The combination of slow-roasted chicken, avocado, roasted green chiles, crispy jalapeΓ±os, and cilantro-lime crema is right in my wheelhouse.

The best part? You get to decide.

Stop in, try the sandwiches for yourself, cast your vote, and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a free sandwich.

Just had a legendary night at Badβ€―Jimmy’s in Phoenix! Their crispy, thin-edge smash burger hit all the right notesβ€”juicy patties, tangy sauce, perfect picklesβ€”while the bar scene and retro-rock energy kept things buzzing. And dessert? They surprised us with gummy cheeseburgers and rich Strauss soft‑serve that capped the meal perfectly. Add in craft cocktails and friendly staff, and this is hands-down one of the coolest burger-bar experiences in the Valley. πŸ”πŸ¦

Bad Jimmy’s started as a 2020 pop-up and exploded into a must-hit destination!

All unique in their own way. But, listen; hidden gems are certainly well known to those in their surrounding area, because well, they’re awesome. Hidden gems are the ones outside of their area that not many people other than the true beer enthusiasts know about. Enjoy the list and let me know what you think!

@ricketycricketbrewing located in Kingman, Az and one of the more impressive buildings in the state and a killer pizza menu to go along with it! 

@belfrybrewery Cottonwood, Az Belfry is a true beer lovers dream in what is considered Az wine county. 

@desertmonksbrewing Gilbert, Az although located in the heart of Gilbert, Desert Monks has a quiet footprint in the Az beer scene but an absolute must visit space for any beer lover!

@smeltertownbrewery Clarkdale, Az very well known brewery amongst Az beer enthusiasts and rightfully so. Fantastic beer and an awesome space with a boutique hotel located just upstairs. 

@lochielbrewing Mesa, Az you might literally think this place is hidden. Not easy to find, but very well known in the niche market of traditional Scottish beer lovers. 

@thatbrewery Pine, Az a versatile space to keep you warm in the winter or fun in the sun for summer time with an outdoor sand volleyball court.

@8bitaleworks Avondale, Az off the beaten path and a video game lovers dream come true. 

@historicbrewingcompany @historicbrewco.eastside escape the hustle and bustle of downtown Flagstaff to the eastside location, which happens to be my preferred location!

That’s how I ended up at Chariot Pizza in Tucson.

Tucked into a Circle K parking lot, full dive bar energy β€” old wood bar top, pool tables, zero frills… aka exactly my kind of spot.

Ordered a pepperoni and yeah… this thing is an absolute banger.
Crispy, cheesy, no nonsense β€” just straight up good pizza.

I’ve been asking Tucson locals all week where to go and only ONE person mentioned this spot…
Y’all really tried to gatekeep this one huh? πŸ˜‚
No gatekeeping over here β€” this is a must stop.

San Diego vibes just landed in the East Valley!

Best Pizza & Brew has officially made its way to Arizona, and after my first visit... yeah, I get why they’ve built such a loyal following since 2013.

Stone-fired pizzas, fresh ingredients, solid lineup of sides, and a craft beer selection that pairs exactly how you want it to.

This is one of those spots that just makes sense. Grab a pie, grab a cold one, hang out, and enjoy it.

Perfect spring setup right now in the Valley
Big thanks to @bestpizzaandbrew for having us out!

Been watching the JL Patisserie vs influencer drama unfold, so I decided to see for myself what all the buzz was about.

The place was packed. The display case was stacked. And yeah β€” the chocolate pistachio croissant might still be the best thing I’ve eaten in a while. The vanilla-infused cold brew slapped hard, too.

JL is operating with craft, precision, and a serious passion for European baking standards. It’s obvious people care β€” and that’s a good thing.
If you follow the food scene around here, you’ve gotta try it. Support the bakeries doing it with heart.

Every single time I told someone I was going to Bianco, the response was immediate.

Not hello.
Not how was it.

Just:
β€œOrder the Rosa.”
For years, I didn’t.
Figured it couldn’t possibly live up to the obsession.

Finally ordered it.

And halfway through the first slice… I understood why people won’t shut up about this pizza.

Because this isn’t a loud pizza.
It’s a dialed-in pizza.
Sweet onion.
Salty parm.
Rosemary hitting at just the right moment.
And those local pistachios bringing this buttery, nutty crunch that somehow turns something simple into something ridiculously layered.

It’s the kind of pizza that doesn’t punch you in the face…
…it just quietly proves it knows exactly what it’s doing.

Simple. Complex. Balanced.

Legit one of those β€œokay yeah, I get it now” moments.
So if you go and you’re staring at the menu wondering what to order…

Yeah.

I’m officially one of the people telling you now too.
Start with the Rosa

Penelope pizza in Tucson is an absolute must visit spot for any pizza lover!

This has easily become one of my must-visit pizza spots in Arizona. The vibe inside is awesome, the pizzas are ridiculously good, and the whole place just has that energy where you instantly know you picked the right spot.

I loved all of the pizzas, but the star of the show was the Sunnis Side with sausage, onion, egg, Cholula maple drizzle! Absolutely dynamite!

Tucson seriously has some sneaky good pizza spots… and Penelope is absolutely one of them.

Johnny T’s is located at 7132 E Becker Ln, Scottsdale inside a space that leans classic NY style. They’re known for bringing premium ingredients and big portions. According to their site, locals (especially folks from NY) regularly call it β€œbest NY pizza in AZ.”

Something about lunch slice specials always lets you see what a pizzeria really can do β€” and Johnny T’s Brooklyn Pizzeria knocked it out of the park.
Scored their pepperoni & cheese lunch slice, and it was straight πŸ”₯. Crisp crust, classic sauce, clean execution.

Ranking-wise: this lunch slice just landed somewhere high on my top pizza experiences in AZ. Stay tuned for official 2025 rankings, coming soon!

One of my favorite things is finding spots that do something completely unexpected… and Happy Joe Coffee is exactly that.

You think you’re walking into a cozy neighborhood coffee shop, and then Friday night rolls around and they’re putting out legit Detroit-style pizzas.

Crispy edges, thick fluffy crust, tons of flavor… the kind of pizza that makes you stop and say β€œwait, this is coming from a coffee shop?”

Honestly, it’s just cool to see a local spot doing something different and doing it really well.
Good people, great vibe, and now a reason to be there on Friday nights too.

Tempe’s got a good one here!

One of my favorite things is finding spots that do something completely unexpected… and Happy Joe Coffee is exactly that. You think you’re walking into a cozy neighborhood coffee shop, and then Friday night rolls around and they’re putting out legit Detroit-style pizzas. Crispy edges, thick fluffy crust, tons of flavor… the kind of pizza that makes you stop and say β€œwait, this is coming from a coffee shop?” Honestly, it’s just cool to see a local spot doing something different and doing it really well. Good people, great vibe, and now a reason to be there on Friday nights too. Tempe’s got a good one here! #wizardofza #azfoodie #detroitstylepizza #pizzaguy #supportlocal
My most memorable pizzas of 2025.
From a perfect classic cheese slice at a New York pizzeria… to cold, questionable-but-life-saving pizza at mile 14 of a full marathon. From Arizona to Maine and just about everywhere in between, pizza showed up in every form, at every time, when it mattered most.
Some were flawless. Some were eaten standing up. Some were eaten exhausted. All of them told a story.
Different cities, different styles, different moments

Everyone loves a good slice- here is what I’ve uncovered and consider the best to grab a slice. 

@viadellapizza (Phoenix) Their philosophy is simple, do things the right way and don’t compromise. Via Della is without a doubt regarded as a top pizza destination in our state!

@mamas_pizzahouse (Phoenix) A cute Toy Story themed pizza shop serving up massive pizza slices. This is truly a must visit spot for pizza lovers!

@budspizzaguild (Mobile/Uptown Farmers Market): I was lucky enough to catch buds at uptown, farmers market and I’m glad I did one of the best slices and hot chili oil I’ve had in a long time!

@panebiancophoenix (Phoenix) Opened by Chris Bianco in 2003 and features NY style pizza slices. This is considered one of my absolute favorites!

@stradpizza (Scottsdale ) - a car themed pizza shop with a retro vibe. Don’t skip on the ice cream either!

@salgilbertpizza (Gilbert): Traditional NY style pizza slices, Sicilian, grandma, you name it. Since opening Sal’s Gilbert Pizza in 2006, Sal & Grace have brought the freshness of homemade Italian foods & the taste of NY to AZ.

@princestreetpizza (Tempe): located in the heart of Mill Avenue. The spot is amazing for a traditional New York style slice on the go.

@oldtownpizzascottsdaleaz (Old Town Scottsdale): absolutely a must visit for any pizza lover great for a Sicilian or traditional New York style slice.
