THE PIZZA PARTY:
Recent Stories from abc15.com
How did the pizza doughnut come to be? Owner and Chief Donut Officer Alex McEntire questioned, "pizza goes on a pizza dough, why not a doughnut dough?"
"I had some fun playing around with the cheese and pepperoni! We take our brioche-style dough, which is a nice buttery rich dough on our ring doughnut and then we glaze it with our marinara sauce. We top it with shredded mozzarella pizza blend, some pepperoni, and then we give it a good torch so it is nice and melted."
MAC & CHEESE FRITTER:
"I was trying to make it into a doughnut and then I thought, why not a fritter? Then I can really load it with all of the goodness and cheese! It is your typical fritter. We take our brioche-style dough and load it full of macaroni! It is full of shredded cheese and mac. Then it is glazed with a cheese sauce that is a little sweet but almost like a nacho cheese sauce on top!"
McEntire cautions the Mac & Cheese Fritter is usually only available on the weekends but they are always rotating flavors. To confirm the doughnuts you want to try will be in stock before you jump in the car, she strongly suggests you check out their Instagram first for flavor updates! These special doughnuts are limited to supply so once they are gone, you will have to wait until the next batch!

I’ve only been in Phoenix for 3 years, and am sometimes thrown off by fake mid-century modern signage. I am not sure where Old Towne is, though I have found older places on 7th Street (though its queer near Indian School Road) and Sunnyslope (though Little Miss Bar-B-Q was a fake Mid Century Modern place). In Tempe I came upon a 7-11 whose signage and store style goes back to the mid-60s. Nothing special to eat there, but still interesting if you want to film a ‘60s movie with an authentic looking store in the background. East Camelback and Indian School are a mixed lot.
In New Haven, if you order a traditional apizza in Sally’s and some others, you get crust, sauce, a sprinkling of parmesan. Mozzerella is an option, though a common one. But plain crust and plain fresh sauce can still make a delicious apizza.
You still haven’t told me what your “go to” pizza joints are in Phoenix. Streets of New York is a fraud. Uncle Tony’s is marginal. MOD and Fired Pie are chain-style fast “gourmet”. I’m still working Phoenix out, and I live with three people who can’t have dairy, so testing is sporadic.
Not in Phoenix.
NW AZ.
BTW..dont ya just hate them fake places?
If I were you, I would try and find out if there is an Italian community down there.
Here is what I found.

Grimaldi’s is pretty good - several locations around the Valley including Old Town Scottsdale. One of the few that doesn’t give me an immediate stomach ache. :)
I’ll give Grimaldi’s a try. I’m surprised they can still install new coal ovens, especially since they have at least one restaurant in California. Coal is an excellent way to cook pizza, though.
I would think that recipe would make for a dry, crunchy crust. Adding some sugar acts moistness to the dough that affects how it cooks.
I like doughnuts, Mac and cheese, and pizza; however, I do not like them blended together.
I love Neapolitan style pizza. Just enough, not too much.
Why can’t they make a low salt, high-fiber, low LDL, high animal protein, high good fat donut, with...
TASTE?
Forget going to Mars until we fix this issue FIRST.
Uh…no thanks!
Ya know...when a person thinks about it, all pizza is, is a leavened bread with toppings on it. Hearty since there is veggies on it, and with the modern pizzas they load them up.
Like I said..I like the old school pizza.
