Great NY style pizza place, but slow. Will deliver to Spirit Wind but usually takes over 2 hours. They have a nice patio, better to go sown there or go pick up pizzas. They also sell by the slice during the day. You can order online.

Drinks & Nightlife
This is really more of a dive bar but they have some food. Weird, cool dive bar way out in Wonder Valley. It's like being in a ZZ top video. Call before you go out there because sometimes they are just randomly closed. Not touristy. Mostly locals. Good for groups.
