Put this one on your bucket list. A new restaurant in Ahwatukee is pioneering a concept we never knew we needed in our lives: spaghetti and meatballs in a bucket. You may have seen this on an episode of Scooby-Doo, but this ain t no O Greazy s Bucket of Fun restaurant. This is the real deal.
The spot is literally called By the Bucket, and it s the third location of a burgeoning licensee operation from owner Bret daCosta based out of Payson. You may remember it from the memorable sign you pass by on Arizona Route 260, promising spaghetti by the bucket. The takeout joint is pretty much exactly how it sounds; it offers three sizes of spaghetti with red sauce in stripy popcorn tubs that say Hot & Delicious Food to go. And that s about it, aside from a cheesy meatball sub and a jello-y slice of New York cheesecake for dessert.
Last month, we welcomed Renata s Hearth an addition to the Biltmore restaurant scene. We also lost several restaurants, like Rula Bula Irish Pub and Nicantoni s Pizzeria, that have been Valley staples for years. Check out the latest food scene gains and losses. OPENINGS
