Super casual and filling spot. Portions are big, and it’s a good place to stop when you’re hungry and don’t want anything fancy. Nice option after exploring or hiking around Sedona.

This pizza place was delicious. I ordered the pesto pizza but asked to swap the green sauce for marinara (red sauce), and it was so good. Great flavor and definitely worth stopping by if you’re craving pizza in Sedona.

Honestly a solid 9/10 for breakfast. It’s at a small airport, which makes the experience kind of fun and unique. Good food, relaxed vibe, and a great place to start the day while watching planes come and go.

This place honestly made me pause. The way the chapel is built right into the red rocks is beautiful and calming. Even if you’re not religious, it’s worth visiting just to sit quietly, take in the views, and feel the stillness. Go early or close to s...
