Gus’s New York Pizza and Bar is an Arizona institution that brings a taste of the Big Apple to the Grand Canyon State. In the New York style, diners have the option of ordering by the slice as well as ordering whole specialty pies, wings, subs, salads, stromboli and, for the adventurous – and ravenous – the 32-inch NY Giant Pizza.

Oasis Bagels

Oasis Bagels makes fresh, authentic, hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels every day, and there is plenty to choose from both in terms of fillings and breads.

They also offer up a range of hot drinks, tempting desserts and gelato.

Royal Jasmine Thai

Saddle Mountain Brewing Company Exterior

From the food to the sawasdee ka welcome as you enter the restaurant, Royal Jasmine Thai brings a traditional taste of Thailand to the Phoenix suburbs. The interior is light and semi-luxurious, with elements of the restaurant’s homeland punctuating the decor. The menu covers all of the Thai favorites, and then some. There is a wide range of appetizers to choose from, with the wontons, posttickers and rangoon all highly recommended. The choice of salads, soups, curries, noodle dishes and entrees – with either steamed, brown or sticky rice – may be quite overwhelming at first glance, but the staff is always happy to give recommendations. A spicy and satisfying experience time and time again.

Saddle Mountain Brewing Company

Saddle Mountain is a brewery offering tours of their 15 barrel brew house. They take as much care and interest in their food as in their brewing. All of their menu items come with a recommended beer pairing: the drinks certainly bring extra depth to the dishes. Sophisticated pub grub.

Sugar ‘N Spice

Sugar ‘N Spice is a family owned bakery and cafe serving Goodyear with some of the finest food. Breakfasts include burritos, bowls and sandwiches and there is also a changing daily breakfast special. At lunch you can build your own salad or sandwich but it is the pastries which are the biggest draw. Be sure to wash it all down with one of their many specialty coffees, teas, hot chocolates, frappés, smoothies or boba drinks.

Taste Of Italy

Taste Of Italy specializes in pizzas with a variety quite unlike anything else in the valley: try the white, spinach and meat lovers’ caprese pan, and Taste of Italy specialty pizzas. The bases come in three sizes and styles – medium, extra large and siciliana – which should easily satisfy most appetites. Their pasta dishes are made with love in the traditional Italian way, and it gives diners a good variety of pasta types and sauces, all served with salads and Italian breads.

Tomo Japanese Cuisine

Tomo Japanese Cuisine brings modern Japanese dining to the heart of Goodyear. Diners are able to watch as the chefs expertly prepare the many dishes.

The reasonably priced special lunch menu also makes it a popular midday spot. A family owned and operated sleek welcome into fine Japanese cuisine.
