Mesa is home to Peter Piper Pizza. This pizza place on Power Road is a great hang-out spot for family and for friends.

A good thing about the layout of Peter Piper Pizza is that the order station can be accessed easily so there is no reason for guests to feel like they are being crowded. That is one of the reasons why this pizza parlor has become a favourite party venue.

A Review of the Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar in Denver – Colorado

Posted by skywalkeer on March 30th, 2010

Buffalo Wild Wings possibly serves the most delicious wings in all of Denver, Colorado. Their wings are served with 14 sauces ranging from the mild to the extremely hot. Their super hot Blazin’ sauce will surely bring tears to your eyes from its spiciness. For those not fond of eating really hot wings, I recommend the Carribean Jerk sauce. It is a mildly hot but full of flavor, a perfect balance of both.

Aside from the specialty at Buffalo Wild Wings which is wings, they also have other mouth-watering dishes on their menu. They serve 14 kinds of appetizers or what they call “snacks”. The chips with salsa on the side are priced at $3.99 while their more expensive appetizer is the Sampler at $11.99. The Sampler is a combination of their other appetizers like the mozzarella sticks, nachos, boneless wings and onion rings. On the side is a trio of sauces and dressings: a marinara sauce, Ranch dressing and blue cheese dipping sauce. A must-try appetizer at Buffalo Wild Wings is their Southwestern Crispy Dippers, made of crunchy tortilla dippers with a filling of fajita chicken, tomatoes, jalapenos, corn, black beans, pepperjack cheese and onions and served with a Southwestern-style Ranch dressing at only $4.99. The popcorn shrimp on their menu is also very good especially when paired with their special Buffalo sauce. Read more »
