This phrase may be annoying in a recorded phone message, but it’s exciting when applied to our local restaurants. Here are two that favor their diners with new flavors.
Giordano’s
Special for this final quarter of the year, and offered only at this national chain’s Arizona and Nevada restaurants, is the Street Taco Pizza, built on a light, crispy, extra- thin hand-crafted crust with layers of taco-style ingredients: guacamole salsa, zesty barbacoa-style beef, Giordano’s signature mozzarella cheese, pico de gallo, and a generous sprinkling of queso fresco. Also on this limited-time menu are the savory Pepperoni Pizza Fries and flaky sweet treat Apple Pan Pie.
