🔥 Falora (Neapolitan Wood‑Fired Pizza)
3000 E Broadway Blvd (Historic Broadway Village)
(520) 325‑9988 | falora.com
Open Wed–Sun: approx. 4 PM–9 PM (closed Mon–Tue)
Falora crafts authentic Neapolitan pies in a 700 °F pecan‑wood‑fired oven, baking them in just three minutes. The chewy‑thin crust gets an intentional char, and they use daily‑made dough with Caputo 00 flour—many gluten‑sensitive diners approve. Their salads and pasta round out the menu, and the patio is pet‑friendly.
Tip: Try the Vino + Vinyl happy hour—bring an LP for a free bottle of Chianti on select evenings.
