Dining Pairing
Here are some suggestions for the west side of Sedona. For inexpensive pizza and a large selection of beers try Famous Pizza. For fine food try Dahl & Di Luca Ristorante opens at 5 pm – you may want to change your clothes for eating here. The food is excellent and pricey. Lisa Dahl owns and runs a number of wonderful restaurants in the Sedona area including Pisa Lisa which is also pricey but is open for lunch. For a more affordable dining experience on the west side try Thai Spices.
