Cary's Pizza — Restaurant in Wickenburg

Cary’s pizza was just a delight. We phoned in a take-out order on the way back from a paddle at Lake Pleasant.

The food: Our “house” pizza fave is sausage, onion, artichoke, and feta. Cary’s doesn't have feta but that’s not unusual as things go so no problem to forego the feta.The cracker-style crust is a very nice change of pace from the breadier crusts we usually find. Quite tasty as my waistline can attest.

The staff: Warm, wonderful, and friendly. The most welcome I’ve felt in Wickenburg in our entire time here.

The place: In different (ie not pandemic) times, hanging out in the different rooms would be amazing. The place has so much charm. Being a history dork, I couldn’t help but investigate the reason for the historic places registry. It’s a tough research project but the building itself seems to be of architectural value. That’s as much as I figured out. But still cool nonetheless for my cursory research.

The uncomfortable details: Wickenburg is generally not mask-positive in the two months I spent there. So mask-wearing staff and customers at Cary’s was an amazing surprise. Most other places we’ve stopped into to tend to our full-timer RVer needs were, shall we say, quite a challenge. Cary’s was the exception to the rule in the area so if you have a chance to support a local business, this is the one. Great food combined with social responsibility. That’s about as good as you can get right now.

And even after we’ve weathered this, I will totally be back for great pizza and to soak up the great...

Adorable pizza place that serves the freshest pizza! At first it felt a little weird going into the house like you're going into somebody's home but it quickly became comfortable because it is a cozy environment and they don't treat you hastily like some random customer. They take their time making the pizza (30+minutes), and it shows! The vegetables were fresh, and the crust was crunchy. The chairs were cushiony. If you're looking for homemade in a cozy, quiet town, this would be it! They do not disappoint!!

If there were things I would suggest, it would be that the marinara sauce that came with the garlic cheese bread could use some herbs such as oregano or basil and a little bit more salt. The windowsill next to the table had some dead flies on it, so I would suggest doing a wipe down once or twice a week. Other than that, the waitress was friendly and sure she could have checked on us a few times to see if we needed refills, but honestly, I would take a lack of service over rude service.

It's also understandable that this restaurant is in a small town, so there are very few people who can work for the amount that the waitress is probably getting paid. There aren't too many kids or teenagers in the area who would be willing to do her job either. So, for a small town pizza place, I thoroughly enjoyed it and...

First and foremost, we were the only sit down customers and waited over an hour for 2 10" pizzas. No one gave us any explanation as to why our food took so long. We had our 2 yr old with us who was practically in tears bc he was so hungry and had been so excited for Pizza night. Again, no one came to check on us, ask if we wanted another beverage etc. Had to ask for the check and a box. Poor service, ridiculous wait time, and the pizza was lackluster. I originally found Carys on an app called Find Me Gluten Free. The reviews said the gluten free pizza was homemade and awesome. It definitely is not awesome. I've had better frozen pizza crust. The toppings were delicious but the crust was underwhelming and left a lot to be desired. Two stars for quality toppings (the only...
