Named after a mythical desert bird consumed by fire and reborn from ashes, Phoenix, Arizona has it all – a desert character, a historical succession of diverse civilizations, and a thriving contemporary tourist infrastructure. America’s fifth-largest city, a.k.a. Valley of the Sun and located in Sonoran Desert, Phoenix boasts 310 sunny days per year and up to 15 million leisure visitors who come to see the Grand Canyon, White Mountains and Apache Trail, but also to relax in resorts and spas, and indulge in spectator sports. To deliver a tempting message – Visit Phoenix – to San Francisco media, Greater Phoenix visitor authorities and hoteliers threw a high-temperature party at Tony’s Pizza Napoletana in the heart of San Francisco’s Little Italy last Tuesday.
Multiple-time world champion pizza acrobat and dough-thrower extraordinaire Tony Gemignani not only demonstrated his art and fed the assembly his fresh-from-the-oven creative pies, but also provided some lessons for the media representatives hardly known as pizza makers to their colleagues and friends. So what that next to Tony’s well-rounded creations our pies looked more like blobs and splotches, often with a hole in the middle – a great time was had by all! Besides, after trying Tony’s signature scarola con pancetta, clam & garlic, or (ready for this?) truffle pizza, it would be very hard not to come back for more. The party was hosted by the Greater Phoenix CVB, Arizona Biltmore, Boulders Resort & Golden Door Spa, Enchantment Resort, Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North, Hotel Valley Ho, Intercontinental Montelucia Resort & Spa, Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, Sheraton Wild Horse Pass Resort & Spa, Talking Stick Resort, The Phoenician, W Scottsdale, Westin Kierland Resort & Spa, and Arizona Rocks. With hundreds of hotels and dozens of luxury award-winning resorts, Greater Phoenix is sure to please all kinds of travelers.
