AZ Food Crafters - Kitchen and Catering

Delightful savory and sweet handpies that come fresh or frozenI was pleasantly surprised by handpies, which have a good amount of filling. Of the savory ones, I liked the Italian, chicken pot pie, and mushroom and potato, though nothing has been bad. Of the sweet ones, I liked the pumpkin and chocolate but the lemon and apple were also excellent. They also switch up the varieties every one in awhile. They sell frozen ones at 3 in a pack for $12 and a box of assorted mini sweet pies for $14. You can also order them fresh and they will heat up for you. They also sell quiche. It would be nice if there was a deal for buying in bulk, but it's certainly a nice snack or meal.

Why get 1 hand pie when you can get 3 hand pies ... rrrright? Well, that's exactly what happened when I stopped by AZ Food Crafters! The man at the counter who was taking my order was patient and gave me a rundown of the hand pies they offer despite my arrival of only about 10 minutes before closing. They offer everything either served warmed, ready-to-eat, or frozen to take them home and re-heat at your convenience.Of the warmed, ready-to-eat hand pies they had remaining, I decided to get the Apple & the Chocolate Cream. Then I remembered that I could get a free one with a Yelp check-in so I got the Tangerine hand pie as well.As expected, I liked the Chocolate Cream the best. The filling was made of dark chocolate but it wasn't bitter and it was also soft and fluffy. Yum! Apple was also great. It was a bit tart, but it was the perfect sweetness so it made for a great treat. I liked the Tangerine the least of the three but it was still really good! It was very similar to the traditional lemon hand pie, but not tart at all ... great for this time of the year.I can't wait to go back soon to try their savory hand pies .. particularly the Chicken Pot Pie! Definitely will be back & will recommend this place to others.

I poked my dome in here before stopping by Tumi for lunch.....well let's just say change of plans I decided to have lunch AND dessert here instead! The crustyliciousness and the quality ingredients in their quiches, desserts, hand pies, mini pies, side dishes...sweet or savory they know what they're doing at AZFC! They feature different hand pies errry day. So many great choices so but I knew exactly what I was going to get.......Pecan Pie - my fave and not syrupy at all! Just the way I love it! If you like pecan pie, give this a try! I think you will really like it! Pork chile empanada - came with crema and salsa verde dipping sauce. It was kinda dry and needed the two dipping sauces. Creme brûlée - tough to screw this up! Really good. I'm ready to hunt them down next time I'm at a farmers market as well. You should too if you your pretty fly for a pie guy or come here as well. But hurry they close before 4pm!!! Sooo late night hand pies N/A sadly! 4 stars overall.

Did the check in through yelp to discover that once again they were offering a free sweet hand pie with a check in! I chose the chocolate hand pie. Tastes like they use a higher quality chocolate and the finishing sugar adds a nice crunch.I came in here after having placed an online order for a thanksgiving meal last week. Just under $100 for a feast that can feed 2-4 people. I ordered this dinner for a friend and brought it to them. I was so pleasantly surprised by the presentation and portion size. I was able to taste the items before I left and definitely worth it! I moved to a different side of town now, but I have to remember about stopping here more often! Looks like they have moved on to also adding catering and meal prep to their menu and they are doing it right! Will be back soon!

Checked this spot out for breakfast today because, who wouldn't want a hot/savory hand pie for breakfast and a free sweet pie from a yelp check in?I ordered three hand pies, maple bacon, Turkey sausage, ham and cheese for my group, plus a lemon cherry sweet hand pie.Since the pies were to-go, they take approx 5 min to bake so if you're in a super rush keep that in mind. They are then placed in aluminum foil wrappers to trap heat which is really nice. The pies itself have the highs and lows. The crust of the pie is amazing and on point, but our group came to the agreement that the fillings, while good, had nothing spectacular about them. Perhaps coming in for one of their hand pie specials from the lunch menu might have been better.At the end of the day, the food here is good and is worth the price of the hand pie in terms of the effort and ingredients put in. However, if you're looking for bang for the buck in the hearts of quantity of food, this place might not be for you.

I love the cauliflower rice. I also love the Parmesan chicken. Great keto choices .. Hand pies look good enough to break keto.

Really great place. Glad yelp helped me find it. The owner was really nice and explain the menu with a smile.I had the ham, egg, and cheese hand pie and my girlfriend had the bacon egg and cheese hand pie. We both loved them.She had a some sort of salad which she liked and I opted to go with the bacon Mac and cheese. Good call on my part. It was delicious!! For dessert we split a chocolate hand pie and then regretted we didn't get two, lol.Definitely will be returning here!

Yes 5 Stars! It is as good as it gets and I am not just saying that to be bias because I love locally owned mom and pop type shops the most. I do love the service a million times more than chained restaurant businesses. I especially love when the locally owned businesses are severely welcoming and happy to see customers coming through the doors. Lets get on with the review shall we:Chicken pot pie- A-Blueberry- A+ (esp when you go home to heat it up and put some ice cream over it!)I cannot wait to try some of my boyfriends green hatch chili pork and his lemon cream hand pie. When I was younger I was in love with the little hostess or safeway pies that are glazed with chocolate pudding or apple fillings so I cannot wait to try the rest of the hand pies from this establishment in a few days. So Good! It can be tricky to find if you aren't around the area but if you know where house of egg roll is, it is tucked away in the corner in the back. The service here obviously gets a A++++ :)So go ahead run down there and grab a bite its totally worth your time and money!

What a small but amazing place!! This place gives u variety of empanadas to choose from, very affordable and delicious... My boyfriend and I ordered chicken pot pie, apple pie, Sriracha chicken Philly, lemon blueberry empanadas with a side of green chili Mac and cheese.. Everything was amazing so we ordered two more to go.. You have a option for them to pre heat the empanadas or pre heat them urself it comes with directions and ingredients on the bag.. If you also play Pokemon go player your in luck because they have a poke stop right in front..you also get a free sweet empanadas when you check in on Yelp

I am an experienced cook, baker and empanada maker, so I am a little picky. I have to say that every single thing we ate was absolute perfection! I ordered the chorizo "hand pie" which is really an empanada to me. I got the combination plate which came with hand pie (empanada or pasty) a side of fresh fruit and a side. I chose mac and cheese with squash. I also ordered the potatoes with green chile. Yum! The chorizo was flavorful, but mild. No problem, because the green chile sauce really added to it! I used up all of my sauce and had to ask for more. Then I HAD to take a jar home too. :-) We do not eat out much, but we used to go to a pasty place down the street a few times a year. No more... this place really hit the spot. You can tell the ingredients are fresh and quality ingredients. For the three of us the lunch was probably around $35-$40. Not sure since we took some dessert pies home. A dozen for $14. Perfect. They were really small, but that's one of the reasons I like this place more than the other pasty (think empanada or pie) place. Smaller is better because you can try different flavors. The hand pie is somewhat small, but with a side and fruit, the meal really fills you up. At least all three of us left full (I had to pawn off some of my amazing potatoes to my daughter because two sides was a little much) and did not even touch the dessert pies till later.
