CatfishKev Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Me and wife are making our way up to the valley this weekend from Sierra Vista, it will be our last chance to get out away from the kids before she gives birth to #5. Were gonna check out Cabelas but also trying to find something interesting to do or check out while were up there. Any events going on or something really cool worth checking out? Any place to eat thats got something unique about it. Keep in mind she's ready to pop so walkin around a whole lot in the sun might not work. PS: Anyone from PA that could recommend a legit cheesesteak or pizza place? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
backcountry_brad Report post Posted March 17, 2016 Not from PA, but you need to eat at a Barro's pizza. A little pricey but it's frickin good pizza! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted March 17, 2016 There is an Italian Festival in Scottsdale this weekend. Gus's near ASU has a decent NY style thin crust, sauce is a little bland and he doesn't have anchovies. Barrows chain isn't awful but it isn't like back east pizza. Thick dough never cooked all the way through, too much cheese which is why you usually see people in there eating it with a fork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CatfishKev Report post Posted March 18, 2016 Thanks guys, some pretty good ideas so far. Any more random ideas? I know there's an aquarium up there. Any other places to check out that everyone should see or do at least once? Museums, comedy clubs whatever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted March 18, 2016 Trump will be here in Fountain Hills on Saturday. I can't go since I am already committed to the yearly Southwest Aquarium Keepers Event in Phoenix but it should be an event not to miss. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattys281 Report post Posted March 18, 2016 If you're heading to Cabelas anyway, I think its worth another 15 minutes to drive out to Verado and have some of the woodfire pizza at Ciao Grazie. That's my wife & I's favorite 'date-night' venue, and Verado is a dang nice spot to go for a stroll, although with your wife being ready to pop & what not, maybe just go for a drive around the neighborhood.

CatfishKev Report post Posted March 18, 2016 Trump will be here in Fountain Hills on Saturday. I can't go since I am already committed to the yearly Southwest Aquarium Keepers Event in Phoenix but it should be an event not to miss. Not sure there would be room for my wife's stomach and his huge ego. I used to like the idea of Trump but his inability to play nice with the other kids in the sandbox frightens me a little. You remember the Christopher Walken movie I think it was the dead zone. Trump will fly nukes when Putin mocks his combover. Besides the fish keepers event sounds more fun. What exactly is this event? I'd also be interested in finding a badass fish shop with nice cichlids. Had an ick outbreak and lost all my favorite fish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
