An Good Dining Option Near the Grand CanyonDuring our trip to the Grand Canyon, we discovered a restaurant in Tusayan that became a good dining spot.While the culinary offerings in the area aren't extensive, We Cook Pizza and Pasta stands out as a delicious and convenient alternative.• What We LovedThe restaurant is easy to access and has a spacious parking lot, which is very helpful in a tourist area.The dining spaces are comfortable and designed to accommodate many people, with various seating options to choose from.The food is the highlight. As the name suggests, they specialize in pizzas and pastas, but they also offer sandwiches and salads.We tried the pizzas on two different occasions and liked them; their homemade flavor makes them unique. We also enjoyed a pasta and some ravioli, which were very tasty.Despite the fact that on one of our visits the place was very busy, the service was fast, with our dishes ready in just 10 to 15 minutes.Additionally, the restrooms were always clean and well-maintained, a detail that is always appreciated.• Standard Service, but a Good ExperienceWhile the service is quite standard—nothing that stands out as exceptional—the quality and efficiency of the food more than make up for it.In summary, if you're looking for a place to enjoy a delicious and comforting meal near the Grand Canyon, we recommend We Cook Pizza and Pasta. It's an ideal option to recharge your energy after a long day of exploring.

We had a nice dinner at this restaurant. We shared an 18” pizza, which was more than enough for two people. The pizza was good, classic American style (not quite the same quality you’d find in Europe for half the price), so don’t expect to be blown away.We went around 7 pm, and since it was busy, we had to wait about 20 minutes.Overall, it’s a good spot to grab dinner after a day at the Grand Canyon.

If you're looking for decent food while visiting the Grand Canyon, this place is a good spot to start. The restaurant shares a large lot with the Tusayan General Store, the town Starbucks, and the Yippee Ei Oh Steakhouse. Easy to get in and out of, but if you can't make a decent left turn out, you can go through the roundabout to get circled away. The day we came, the parking lot was being cleaned, resurfaced and restriped, so we had to enter using the side street entrance.There is plenty of seating inside, where you basically order at the counter, then find a spot and pick up the food when your pager buzzes. There is also an outdoor seating area when the weather is good. Soda machines are to the left, and their restrooms are pretty clean. The staff was very courteous and friendly. I was expecting prices to be somewhat more exorbitant than what you would find at your local parlor, but found the prices to be the same, if not slightly less than what I'm used to.The food itself though, was pretty good. the wings had a good kick to them, and were juicy. The meatballs were decent, not overly salty, and the pasta wasn't dry. They did not skimp on the pizza toppings either. We would definitely stop back in the next time we're visiting.

This pizza shop is located close to the south entrance to Grand Canyon National Park and maybe that is why their prices are so ridiculous, especially for the quality of their food product. Unfortunately, there are very few dining options here if you are staying for a few nights, and the businesses know this. There is a large parking lot in the complex so parking should not be an issue most of the time, but it is a shared parking lot. The pizza shop has plenty of tables inside, but again, depending on what time you arrive it might not always be that way, especially during the busy months of the year. The menu is varied, so you have other options other than pizza, like pasta, chicken wings, etc. The staff members were not hostile or rude, but neither were they very welcoming, just tell me what you want and pay. Now, what about the pizza, while they are not terrible, they sure could use more sauce and ingredients of their pizza pies, especially at the prices they charge. That brings me to the bottom line, their pizzas are what I would label as your average Papa John’s pizza quality but at Michelin Star restaurant prices. When you look at my photos, you will see what we purchased and all for the low price of $145.00, which is absolutely, positively, ridiculous. So, beware when you enter that this is tourist orientated business, and bring your credit card to boot. FYI, there other menu options are much more reasonable than their pizza prices.
