URBAN 360 PIZZA

Step into Urban 360 to enjoy locally brewed beer fresh from the tap. The artisan New York-style pizzas bake in a stone oven, and there are 21 toppings to choose from. The restaurant offers an industrial setting, and friendly dogs are welcome on the patio. Tuesday nights bring karaoke, while bands entertain on Friday evenings. Specialty pizzas include The Meat, The Veggie, and The Orange. They pair well with a pint of La Cumbre Elevated IPA.

JC'S NEW YORK PIZZA DEPARTMENT

JC's has been a local favorite for over 15 years. Owner Joaquin Garofalo grew up in his family's pizzeria, and fond memories inspired him to open his own. The chefs make the pizzas using the finest cheese and the freshest tomatoes. They prepare the dough from scratch, and there are over eight million topping combinations. Specialty options include Empire State, Staten Island, and Central Park.

SCARPA'S BRICK OVEN PIZZA

With delicious meals and an Old World Italian charm, it's no wonder that Scarpa's draws a crowd. The pizzas bake to perfection in a custom-built brick oven, and there's always something new to try. Choices include pepperoni & garlic, Italian sausage, and green chile cheeseburger. For a sweet treat, don't forget to try the restaurant's famous dessert, the Torta Di Mele. It's a combination of puff pastry and apple tart and features ice cream, chocolate, caramel, and whip cream.
