text: This place is deeceif you can get a table and deal with nightmarish Scottsdale crowdsnnWe tried to check Stone and Vine on what we thought was early a few Fridays ago At there was a minute wait and the area around the bar was PACKED Like cannot move It looked like a country club convention threw up all over it WINE WINE WINE and middleagers chugging it It was kind of comical but we did not really feel like waiting in standingroom only for that longnnSo I made a reservation last week and tried again We were sat in the very back by the kitchen but whatevs Maybe they want women clad in rhinestoneadorned back jean pockets to walk in and see only familiar faces nnService took a while but I think it is because our gal was overwhelmed I saw her party of beckon her over to take their orders once she came by for our drink orders And it took a while to get from the bar for drinks back to our table roughly half a mile awaynnThe good though was the food The pizza was spectacular I am not sure how they made it so crispycharred underneath and fluffy inside It boasted an garlicky olive oil base covered in housemade fresh mozz tomato spinach and a sprinkling of ricotta which I will sub out for feta if I get it next time Just needed a little flavor contrast Boyfran had the meatball panini which he dubbed one of the best of all time The salads we started with were amazeballs Lots of veggies and fresh shaved parmesan on topnnWell be back but only with a reso and only to laugh at the crowd Food this close to home cannot be beat
