I just got off the phone with the spokeswoman for the new Picazzo’s Organic Italian Kitchen at 7850 N. Oracle Road, in Oro Valley, and she says it’s open for business.
In this week’s Noshing Around I reported that Picazzo’s wouldn’t be open until June, which was what the spokeswoman told me when we spoke a couple weeks back. She said today that things came together much faster than she had anticipated, and that she’s been slammed with business ever since the doors opened.
Anyway, we wanted you to know that Picazzo’s is open. We’ve already gotten e-mails offering glowing reviews of their gluten-free options — all pizzas can be ordered regular or gluten-free — and a restaurant manager said 90 percent of their ingredients are either organic or natural. The eatery also offers non-dairy cheeses for people who are lactose intolerant.

Sounds like a restaurant for neurotics..it should do well.
It’s actually a restaurant for people who care about what they eat, as well as for those who require a Gluten-Free diet. Bottom line is a wonderful, tasty menu for all to enjoy.
Yep, everybody has an allergy…
This is my new favorite restaurant! The drink menu is amazing! A few of us went there for Happy Hour, the prices were great, the drinks were fresh and unique. The food was excellent, it didn’t even look or taste gluten free. Each of us ordered something different so we could each try some of everything. It was all so delicious!!
I am so happy there is a great Gluten Free place in Tucson! Servers were friendly, the restaurant was clean (there was even mouthwash and lotion in the bathroom). I can’t wait to try every item on their extensive menu!! Everything looks wonderful.
