The inventive team behind Arizona’s ever-popular Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, Neighborhood Burger Joint, announces the opening of Cold Beers & Pizza, Local Pizza Joint, coming to Old Town Scottsdale this December.

The 3,300 square foot spot at 4222 N Scottsdale Rd., Scottsdale, AZ 85251, with a lively patio as well, sits on the city’s main thoroughfare and next door to its popular sister brand, Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers.

Square One Concepts Founder & CEO, S. Barrett Rinzler, said: “It’s a challenging time for all of us in the restaurant industry.  But the way we see it, we’ve got to keep living and doing things for the future.  This seemed like a natural next step.  We now know how to cope with the ‘new normal,’ so we feel confident that we can open a new concept and continue the very best health practices per CDC and Arizona guidelines, for our customers and our staff.

“In fact, our team is very excited to launch Cold Beers & Pizza, and dovetail, you might say, off our popular Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers brand.  We’re working hard to be sure everyone can enjoy this new branch of our restaurant family.  We’ve created delicious, straightforward pizza options and a menu we know everyone can enjoy.”

COLD BEERS & PIZZA MENU.  Cold Beers & Pizza offers an extensive menu, and, true to its name, a taphouse-worthy 50-plus beers — in bottles and cans with no fewer than 20 beers on tap.  Two pizza styles are the stars of this show: what Rinzler describes as a “Midwest Thin Crust” and a hand-tossed “Neapolitan Style.”  The extensive menu offers a variety of pizza options including BYOP (build your own pizza). For example, a traditional Godfather with pepperoni, sausage, onions and oregano; and the Flagstaff with spinach, roasted garlic, mushroom, tomato and olives are among Midwest Thin Crust options.  In the Neapolitan Style comes the classic Margherita; a Wiseguy red pizza with soppressata, basil and mozzarella; a Scampi white pizza with shrimp, garlic sauce, spinach and basil; and another sans-red option Broccoli Aglio e Olio with chopped garlic, broccoli florets, Pecorino Romano, basil and mozzarella.     Gluten free and cauliflower crusts are in the works.

Pasta dishes are also on this menu: a traditional Spaghetti & Meatballs and Fettuccini Alfredo, among others. Appetizers such as Fried Brussels SproutsMeatballsCaprese Skewers, and salads along with “Hand Helds” or sandwiches include Meatball or Italian hoagies, and a Chicken Parm, among others.

Dessert comes in the way of delightful cannolis and a skillet cookie.

STYLE & INTERIORS. Cold Beers & Pizza will have walk-up style ordering with waitstaff available to serve beverages as guests dine as well.  And, again, true to the relaxed, casual vibe of Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers, this sister eatery also features red accent walls, tables and booths, albeit with fewer TV monitors – approximately 25 instead of the typical 50-plus of Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers.

Cold Beers & Pizza is a family owned and operated business establishment, and arrives unabashedly on the heels of the ever-popular Cold Beers & Cheeseburgers with 12 locations throughout metro Phoenix.

Cold Beers & Pizza will be open seven days a week, Monday-Friday 11am-10pm; Saturday-Sunday 10am-10pm. Happy hour is Monday-Friday 3-6pm. Follow on Instagram and Facebook @coldbeersandpizza; Twitter @coldbeersnpizza.  Coming soon for more information visit https://www.coldbeers.com/.
