The best deep-dish pizza we've found on the West Coast! We often grab it for take-out, but the restaurant also has great live music most evenings starting at 8pm. And karaoke on Mondays!

We walk through this park every chance we get. It's easily accessible from the house, and has great views of the mountains and downtown. Awesome for picnics, too, with lots of green space and shelters throughout. There's also a skate park, a playground enjoyed year-round, and a splash park in the summer.
