This place is spicing things up in Downtown Tempe with a Jamaican twist. Think Caribbean vibes meet pub grub—complete with craft cocktails and live music. They’ve got American favorites, but the real stars of the show are the Caribbean dishes. Jerk Chicken, shredded pork, curry shrimp, and fried plantains—just to name a few. But beware: these bold flavors may just steal your heart.

This tour is for people who love pizza. It's for those that make it a point to eat pizza on a regular basis. It's for those that seek out the best pizza in every city they visit. This is for the pizza aficionados (or is it aficionadoughs?) who debate the cauliflower base: is it a breach of crust?
I mean, who doesn't love pizza? Weirdoughs, that's who. OK, enough with the cheesy puns.
In Downtown Tempe, everyday is National Pizza Day and we've put together the official Downtown Tempe Pizza Tour to guide you through each and every delicious slice of pizza in this fabulous college town (typically known for having subpar slices, but here, we have masterpieces). Grab your hat and join the magical pizza tour!
