Tucked along the park in Old Town Scottsdale, Pinyon is a love letter to the Mediterranean coast, where food, art and atmosphere blend into something effortlessly transporting. The latest concept from Hi Noon Hospitality (the team behind Buck & Rider and Ingo’s Tasty Food), Pinyon feels like it’s been plucked from a seaside town and set under the Arizona sky.

Pinyon restaurant reflects elegance and individuality

Inside, warm woods, marble checkered floors, and soft brass lighting create a space that’s both timeless and transportive. The building itself underwent a multi-million-dollar transformation to bring new energy and elegance to Old Town Scottsdale. Guests can dine under olive trees on the open-air patio or sip a Sant’Andrea Spritz at the upstairs bar overlooking the park.

Elevated Mediterranean cuisine with culinary creativity

Reflecting the vibrant flavors, spices and culinary traditions of 22 Mediterranean countries, the menu reads like a coastal passport: yellowtail crudo with pistachio salsa, stuffed calamari with muhammara and pecorino and whole-roasted turbot, brought to life on the restaurant’s prized Josper Grill imported from Barcelona. Even familiar dishes, like fish and chips or saffron risotto, are reimagined through the lens of smoke, spice and simplicity.

Pinyon’s Hummusiya, a dedicated section of rotating hummus and dips, is an ode to communal dining. Each spread, like the wild mushroom hummus with herb oil or the pistachio labneh dusted with za’atar, arrives with warm pita baked fresh in-house. It’s a celebration of flavor meant to be shared, paired perfectly with a spritz or crisp white wine from Corsica, Sicily or the Greek Isles.

An unforgettable Old Town Scottsdale dining destination

The restaurant’s philosophy is rooted in connection, with food as a conversation starter and design as storytelling. Whether you come for the B&R Reserve Ribeye, the Pan-Roasted Chicken with red pepper sauce and basmati rice, or just to indulge in oysters and a Hugo Spritz, Pinyon invites you to slow down and savor.

Mediterranean in spirit and Scottsdale in soul, this new addition to Old Town captures the kind of effortless elegance that makes dining feel like travel, without ever leaving the desert.
