Arizona chain Picazzo’s Healthy Italian Kitchen is slated to open its seventh location in Happy Valley in early March.
Picazzo’s was voted Best Italian Restaurant in the 2025 Best of the Valley Awards; Best Italian Food in the 2024 Phoenix Home & Garden Readers’ Choice Awards; and Best Gluten-Free Menu, Best Vegetarian Food, Best Italian, and Best Pizza in the 2026 Best of Our Valley Awards. It now has locations in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Tempe/Chandler, Gilbert, Arrowhead, Happy Valley and Sedona.
Picazzo’s Managing Partner Chris Disney says the ownership team has been exploring another West Valley location for some time and found the perfect spot. “It’s a testament to our dedicated team and our loyal customers that Picazzo’s continues to evolve and grow—nearly 23 years after opening the doors to our first location in Sedona,” said Disney. “We can’t wait to bring our spin on healthy Italian fusion dishes to our new Happy Valley location.”
The new restaurant is described as “an intimate 2,000-square-foot space that incorporates organic design with a parametric feature wall and lush live plants.” Like all Picazzo’s locations, guests can opt to dine inside or enjoy their meal on a spacious covered patio.
Picazzo’s is a family-owned and operated Arizona-based restaurant with locations in Sedona, Scottsdale, Tempe, Paradise Valley, Arrowhead, Happy Valley, and Gilbert. Picazzo’s sources clean, whole foods rich in nutrients and blended with bold, flavorful ingredients.
