Shady Park

In the mood for pizza and ramen? You’ll find them both at Shady Park, a cool concept that is like two restaurants in one. They serve Damatos pizza and Umami ramen bowls, served in perfect harmony with cool 1970’s inspired decor. If that’s not enough, you can also enjoy live music, DJs and view sporting events on their outdoor patio, The Barpark.

Pita Jungle

Pita Jungle is one of my favorite spots. Located on the corner of University Dr. and Mill Ave., the upbeat, edgy atmosphere is highlighted with artwork from local artists. Their healthy, Mediterranean dishes include Chicken Shawarma Pitas, Falafel, Lavosh Pizzas and Wood-fired Salmon. And, of course, always start your meal with pitas and their tasty hummus.

Postino Annex

Postino Annex is located in what was formerly the ASU Art Annex building, a low-slung, red brick Mid-Century Modern gem, built in the 1950s and used most recently as an ASU graduate student art studio. Postino Annex is known for its sumptuous bruschetta appetizers which are substantial enough to be a complete meal, or can be shared with friends followed by one of their delicious salads, sandwiches or desserts. Their patio is one of my favorite places to get a glimpse of campus life.

Casey Moore’s Oyster House

Casey Moore’s is a local legend. For years, it has been a popular hang out spot for locals, visitors, students, professors…everyone is welcome. They have an extensive menu with salads, sandwiches, steaks, seafood options and a full bar. Relax on their patio or choose to sit in one of their charming indoor dining rooms. This place is known to be haunted, so who knows what you might see before a show at ASU Gammage!
