Myke's Pizza

Best Pizza Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona | Eater Phoenix

"Former accountant, Proof Bread apprentice, and part-time sidewalk pizzaiolo Myke Olsen moved to a full-time oven in downtown Mesa early in 2019. Olsen ponders the fine points of pizza’s artistry on a level that calls to mind Chris Bianco, Arizona’s longtime pizza master. Olsen employs a neo-Neapolitan style marked by American flour blends, long fermentations, and shaved aged gouda on finished pies. When the season is right, he doesn’t hesitate to add fruit, like pineapple (for a pie with Jersey pork roll) or sliced peaches (for one with sage and pistachios). Other standouts include a marinara, inspired by eating garden tomatoes with his grandfather, and a white pie with potato and garlic cream." - McConnell Quinn

"Come summer, Myke Olsen’s neo-Neapolitan pies enter a time when the seasons present themselves on pizza in uncommon ways. Curls of delicata squash and fontina. Cherries and pistachios. Follow on social media to keep up. Notably, Olsen recently brought back his chocolate chip cookies and started experimenting with ice cream." - Chris Malloy
