In October 2024, Phoenix Home & Garden opened online nominations in a select number of categories. Those who received the most nominations during the open ballot period advanced to voting in November. Only local companies are eligible for these awards, which include a variety of home and lifestyle categories. In total, over 12,000 votes were submitted, and Picazzo’s came out on top for Best Italian Food!

Picazzo’s Fundraising for BloomKidz During Autism Awareness Month in April
When Picazzo’s Healthy Italian Kitchen Managing Partner Chris Disney launched the restaurant’s fundraising campaign for autism research in 2021, he did not indicate that the following year his daughter Collyns would be diagnosed with Rett Syndrome, a rare genetic neurological disorder on the Autism spectrum. Through family connections, the Disneys were connected with BloomKidz Wellness & Recreation, the nonprofit clinic where four-year-old Collyns has been receiving comprehensive occupational therapy, speech therapy, feeding therapy, and physical therapy to help stave off the effects of Rett Syndrome (follow @disneysinthedesert for regular updates from Colly’s mom Angela.) This condition leads to severe impairments affecting nearly every aspect of life: speaking, walking, eating, and breathing.

For the entire month of April, Picazzo’s will donate $1 for every dessert sold to BloomKidz.
