WHERE TO FIND THE VALLEY’S BEST PIZZA Every homeowner has worried about it: What if a busted pipe leaks and floods your home or water in the backyard seeps inside and causes damage? Even one seemingly small incident like an overflowing toilet or a burst water supply line to your washing machine or refrigerator ice maker can cause major headaches for homeowners. You may not realize it, but water leaks are the number-one cause of property damage, according to Safeguard Security & Communications, Inc., a security and communications provider here in Arizona. Water damage is also the most common insurance claim, says Safeguard. More scary stats: 5 million water heaters rupture annually and cause some degree of household damage while 2 million homes experience severe damage, according to Safeguard. How can you protect your home from water damage?

Routine maintenance is step number one.

According to the Tampa, Florida-based Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS), a research and advocacy group that works to reduce the social and SOURCE: INSTITUTE FOR economic effects of natural disasters and other property BUSINESS & HOME SAFETY (IBHS) losses, simple steps can make a big difference. They recommend homeowners inspect plumbing supply lines Water heater failures are and drain systems annually and that you check one of the top five sources refrigerator ice makers, washing machines, toilets, of residential water losses. showers, and water heaters for problems before they The chance a water heater happen.

Installers place wireless sensors throughout your home in strategic locations (water line connections to your washing machine, water heater, sinks, toilets, and icemaker) to alert you if there is a leak. If the sensors detect a leak, an automatic alert signal is sent to a shut-off valve connected to your home’s main water line. Once the water is shut off, no further damage can occur to your home. Safeguard receives a signal about the possible leak and in turn contacts the homeowner notifying them of a possible problem. For more details on Safeguard’s Flood Watch protection plan, contact them at 1.800.426.6060.

Water Woes Did You Know?

Your Home

Got a hankering for truly delicious, dare we say gourmet, pizza? You’ve come to the right place! Our region – quite surprisingly to some East Coast transplants – boasts some of the finest pizzerias around. You just have to know where to look. Here’s our tour of the top pizza joints in the Valley.

First off, no talk of Arizona pizza would be complete without mentioning the hot-hot-hot Pizzeria Bianco. Here are just a few of the accolades bestowed on chef Chris Bianco, owner of this Heritage Square stronghold: Bianco is the only pizza chef to be awarded the prized James Beard Foundation for best chef of the Southwest (2003), his pizza was named the best in the country (yes, the country) by food writer Ed Levine in his book Pizza: A Slice of Heaven (Universe Publishing, 2005), and he’s often been praised in bon appétit magazine. Need we say more? The pizzas are homemade and wood-fired in the oven – try the Sonny Boy (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, salami, and Gaeta olives) or the Rosa (red onion, parmigiano reggiano, rosemary, and Arizona pistachios). The woodroasted antipasto also gets raves. This pizza haven is always busy, but crowds don’t usually mind waiting at Bar Bianco, the beer and wine bar located just next door.

3 Tomatoes & A Mozzarella is another popular spot for pie. This Tuscan-inspired restaurant has locations here in Peoria and in Las Vegas, Nevada. Offerings include pizza – try the Potato Pie (thin sliced garlic potatoes, bacon, caramelized onions, sautéed spinach, and a special blend of cheese), paninis, antipasti, pasta, and salads. Beer and wine are also served. While the much-revered Scottsdale location has closed its doors, many 3 Tomatoes loyalists are happy to get their fix at the remaining locations.

With numerous awards and accolades, Grimaldi’s Pizzeria also makes the “it” list of pizza places in the Valley. The secret

to this venerated pizza? The coal-fired brick oven that gives the pizza its distinctive flavor and crispy crust. Don’t take our word for it: The Grimaldis have been firing up their pizza oven under the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City since 1905, attracting the likes of Frank Sinatra and Mayors Giuliani and Bloomberg through the years. They eventually brought their pizza West and now have six locations in Arizona. Fans swear this pizza is one of the tastiest around.

If you’re looking for great pizza in downtown Phoenix, look no further than Cibo Urban Pizzeria Cafe, where the handcrafted pies are lovingly baked in a wood-fired oven.

Winner of the Best of Phoenix in 2005, 2006, and 2007, Cibo is housed in a refurbished downtown Phoenix bungalow and definitely worth the trip for its nice neighborhood café atmosphere. Special care is given to choosing locally-grown and imported ingredients to make each hand-tossed pie fresh and homemade. Try the Capricciosa pizza (prosciutto cotto, mushrooms, artichokes, and black olives) or the Salmone (topped with fresh mozzarella, smoked salmon, and fresh basil). For dessert, indulge in warm crepes filled with Nutella and mascarpone cheese. Yum. Finally, La Grande Orange Pizzeria rounds out our list. This upscale market and restaurant keeps the crowds coming. Trendy and comfy at the same time, LGO (to those in the know) is the place to see and be seen. But don’t get distracted by the lively atmosphere – the pizza truly is the raison d’être. The menu is simple and unfussy but the food is spectacular. Chalk it up to exceptional ingredients and creative combinations. Try the Pacifica (lined with rock shrimp, goat cheese and chorizo and finished with thyme and lemon zest) or the Padre (prosciutto, arugula and Point Reyes blue cheese) for an inspiring piece of pie heaven!
