I've been going to DeFalco's Italian Eatery and Grocery for over 20 years but I only get the cold deli sandwiches and the pastas up until recently I tried a meatball hoagie that blew my mind (pause) and that made me want to try the Cheesteak this trip. The sandwich is , what's my favorite word? ... PHENOMENAL!! I truly believe it's the best Cheesteak in the Scottsdale area. I think it even gives Eddie's Philly in Chandler a good run lol This sandwich is stuff with thinly sliced ribeye melted American cheese, sauteed peppers and onions and I had the mushrooms put on the side as I'm not a mushroom fan but my Fiance Kris is. I am glad I decided to check this cheesesteak out instead of just doing a turkey sandwich or one of their Italians which don't be wrong are amazing, but now I know I can get the best cheesesteak in Scottsdale at DeFalco's 2334 N Scottsdale Rd and for $15.99.

Fox 10 PHX's own Cory McCloskey interviewing Myself , Kris and Arizona Pizza Lovers Facebook Group's Matt and Lee talking about Pizza. We were all there to support Raffaele's on 19th Ave and Glendale as they have a few days left before they are being forced to leave. Please support their remaining location on 59th Ave and Peoria in Glendale !! They make some great pizza including what many say is the best Sicilian Pie in Arizona !! #pizza #fox10 #Phoenix #Glendale #FoodieGang

Costco in East Mesa AZ just got in the Double baked pistachio filled croissants so you know we had to check them out . You get 6 in the pack for $9.99 . Let me tell you this imo is a must get item !! What's my favorite word ??? PHENOMENAL !!!! Get them at your local Costco while supplies last. they're only here for a limited time !!

Mr Meats has a great Taco Tuesday any of their meats from Carne Asada , Chicken , Al Pastor , Birria and chicaron tacos are just $2.49. Don't just stop by on a Tuesday as they offer steak and eggs for breakfast and one of my favorites is their carne asada quesadillas. They have a market with some good selections of drinks and snacks. They even have a bakery turning out fresh cookies and pastries all day. Make sure to get the banana empanadas and any custard filled pastries !! Check this place out in Mesa off Gilbert Rd and University. Support Mom and Pops , Support Local, Support Small Business but most importantly support good people doing good business !!

Banham's Cheesecake is said to have some of the best cheesecake anywhere , so you know myself and Matt from Arizona a pizza Lovers and Let's Taco Bout it Facebook groups to check it out. Matt got the tiramisu cheesecake and I got the banana pudding special of the month. I went back and also tried the Strawberry shortcake and the Tiramisu as well. This is a must I repeat MUST checkout spot when it comes to Cheesecake in Arizona !!

Green chili peppers layered with cheese and eggs, baked to perfection and topped with an over-easy egg. Served with cabbage, radish, red onion & cilantro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is one of my favorite desserts it's a Korean dish with Ice cream on top of a bed of sweet shaved ice, chocolate powder and almond slices (you don't see them) that you pour hot espresso over and a cream sauce as well. I have gotten this the last 2 times we have gone but I do see many of the customers getting the Mango or strawberry Bingsoo. one day I will try those but this one is too good to pass up lol

Hard to tell but it’s a natural casing dog underneath with mustard, onions, chili, and cheese, pickles and of course a little tomato. My favorite hot dog.

Red Lobster has all you can eat Endless Shrimp for a limited time !! My Mom saw the commercial and asked if we could go so you know we had to pull up. The deal is $24.99 to $29.99 depending on location. You get to pick 3 different Shrimp plates to start off and you get a side. I upgraded for an extra $8 to the crab and asparagus and I would easily suggest everybody else do that as well if you are a crab fan. They have Happy hour Monday through Friday from 3:00 to 6:00 so we were able to save $2 off our Lobster flatbread which is amazing by the way and something we always order. Watch like and share the video And if you end up going let us know what you bought and let us know what you thought !! #FoodieGang

This dish right here the Calabrian Penne Alla Vodka is the best spicy pasta dish in Arizona we've had and I've had the fancy places spicy Rigatonis and this mops the floor with them 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Shout out to Arizona Pizza Lovers Facebook group Lee Matt and Fred that set up the meet up at Defalcos in Scottsdale 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

A simple, clean, less expensive way to get lots of protein compared to eating out , got the steak bites from Sams Club same.with the sticky rice add Broccoli and Snow Peas and can't forget the Bachan's Japanese bbq sauce that they gave at both Costco and Sam's club.

Farmer Boys has a locally sourced pastrami sandwich that I had to check out as soon as I heard. Shout out Phoenix foodies of the East Valley FB group it was a post there that got my attention. Also Farmer Boys is now open till midnight !! and they serve breakfast all day !! Check them out for yourself and if you go as always, let me know what you bought and let me know what you thought !! #FoodieGang

Copper State Bread is a special place I stumbled upon seeing a video on IG , Myself and Matt from Arizona Pizza Lovers and also Let's Taco Bout it Facebook groups went with me on the first visit and this one as well. They were only doing pizza the first Saturday of each month just now it is on their regular menu every !! If you have never had sour dough pizza you need to check this out ASAP !! It is a top 5 pie in my opinion in AZ. Also ask for some Black gold dust if he has it , it's fire roasted burned to ashes onion dust and sprinkling it on the pizza is something I've never done on any pizza anywhere it enhances the pie and it doesn't taste burnt ... Also check out his sourdough bread offerings and his croissants that are amazing as well !!! This place is special and I can't wait until my next visit back 🤙🏼🤙🏼

We met the Arizona Pizza Lovers Group at Buonos Pizza on Higley and Baseline in Gilbert. The pie we ordered was a white pizza. My fiance loves their white pizza We added meatballs and some pesto drizzle. I also got a side of marinara to dip the slices in as there is no red sauce on the pie. It came out incredible. We also tried a calzone which was humongous by the way and filled with ricotta, cheese and ham. I also tried a ring ding I've had Drake's cakes before but not a ring. Ding lol I think I'm about to try those coffee cakes next time. If you want a good NYC style pizza in Gilbert or East Mesa check out one of the Buonos locations and if you like white pizza you have to try the white pizza with meatballs and pesto drizzle 🔥🔥🔥🔥

MO' Bettahs First Arizona location is Now open in Gilbert 5378 South Power road in the old Carl's Jr. building In the Walmart complex. You know we had to check it out and get the scoop on the newest Hawaiian food restaurant to hit the valley. They do have a drive thru. We got two of the three meat combos. they call him the big boy plates. they were about $18 each. I also got Kris a salad with 1 meat for about $10. I'm going to tell you right now the spicy teriyaki sauce, if you can handle some spice is the way to go. It is special !! I also was really impressed with the chicken katsu and the quality of the meat. I thought the steak was really tender and I liked the Pulehu chicken better than the teriyaki one. I was not impressed with the Mac salad. Check this place out for yourself and formulate your own opinion, especially if you like Hawaiian food. When you go as always, let me know what you bought and let me know what you thought. #hawaii #food #bbq #gilbert #mobettahs
