PIZZA BABS’ PIZZERIA 1319 Highway 2 | Sandpoint 208-265-7992 Head over to Sandpoint when you need more than just another cheese pizza. New York-style, thin-crust pizza is the name of the game at this pizzeria, which offers specialties like the Village (pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes, crumbled feta), the Little Italy (marinara, sweet sausage, green peppers, red onions) and the Hell’s Kitchen (spinach, roasted red peppers, mushrooms and chicken), which blend flavors that demand another visit. BENNIDITO’S 1426 S. Lincoln St. | 455-7411 Each of the 24 pizzas on the menu features thick, hand-tossed crust that’s soft and “bready” around the rim with a thin and crisp center, making it a “best of both worlds” type of pie. Choices go way beyond just plain cheese pizza — like the Maui Wowie, the Saxon, Boogie Fever, or numerous “primo” options to enjoy. They also serve hot sandwiches, salads and a bevy of
craft brews and wine, making this a popular mid-South Hill hangout. FIRE ARTISAN PIZZA 816 W. Sprague Ave. | 413-1856 With a classy, welcoming ambience, the Spokane installment of Fire Artisan Pizza serves the same fresh pizza as its sister restaurant in Coeur d’Alene. There’s a range of pizzas, from margherita to one loaded with sausage, pepperoni, salami and bacon. The artisan pizzas are all cooked in a brick oven and toppings range from the simple to the gourmet. MACKENZIE RIVER PIZZA 9225 N. Nevada St. | 413-1043 With a northern Rockies lodge feel, eating pizza sounds much more cozy in this Montana-based chain. Nearly two dozen pizzas are on the menu, with toppings like pine nuts, crumbled bleu cheese and mandarin oranges. Creative toppings rest on sourdough, natural grain, and thick or thin crust, including one that’s gluten free. All three Spokane locations (upper South Hill, the north end of Nevada Street and the new
downtown location) are spacious and work well for large groups and date nights alike. PACIFIC AVENUE PIZZA 2001 W. Pacific Ave. | 624-0236 Sit out on the patio in Browne’s Addition in the evening sun. Leaf through the Transformers comic book the menus come in. And then order a pizza — yeah, sandwiches are on the menu, but this place is about pizza — with names like the Gladiator (meat, mushrooms, sausage, pepperoni) or the MAC (white and red sauce, chicken, artichoke, bacon). Or go with our favorite: the gourmet barbecue chicken. Vegetarians, try the Leonilda.
