From authentic Mexican cuisine and sumptuous steakhouses to health-focused bites and more, these are the best restaurants for takeout in Scottsdale.
Craving a little spice? Barrio Queen has you covered, serving up centuries-old recipes from Mexico and passed-down family favorites. Nosh on cochinta pibil, a classic Mayan dish from the Yucatán Peninsula in which all items are wrapped and roasted in a banana leaf; chile en nogada, a patriotic plate created by two Puebla nuns in 1821; and an award-winning chunky guacamole based on a 16th-century Aztec recipe. Skip the dining room—you can order pickup or delivery directly on the resto’s website.
For a delicious meal that’s also healthy, choose one of Original ChopShop’s two Scottsdale locations. The brand believes that food should taste good while also being good for you, and its grilled protein bowls with rice and veggies, fresh juices and healthy breakfast options certainly deliver. Enjoy your order in the comfort of your home by ordering pickup or delivery from their website.
Serving up delicious Thai dishes, Malee’s Thai Bistro is our go-to for Asian takeout. Delight in crispy basil chicken, coco chili whitefish, Drunken Dragon noodles, and various stir fries, curries, fried rice and more. Order directly from the brand’s site and earn free food through their fun rewards program!
For the last 20 years, Marcellino Ristorante has been providing upscale Italian cuisine to the citizens of Scottsdale. Skipping the dining room? A dedicated take-out menu features the beloved handcrafted pastas (tagliolini with tailed shrimp and mushrooms), carne (veal, pork tenderloin, lamb chops and filet mignon) and seafood (jumbo shrimp, Atlantic salmon, clams) that we all know and love. Call the restaurant by 4 p.m. to pick up and enjoy your dinner by 6 p.m.
Delight in a fine dining steak dinner in the comfort of your own home with Dominick’s Steakhouse. The to-go menu features all kinds of flavorful fare, from braised pork belly to Thai-inspired crispy shrimp and a selection of premium cuts, including domestic wagyu beef and a whopping 22 oz. bone-in ribeye, cooked to perfection.
This family-run deli and Italian market also serves up mouthwatering sandwiches, pizzas, calzones and other homemade dishes based on centuries-old family recipes. Sample housemade sausages and meatballs, plus a variety of pastas (ravioli, tortellini, gnocchi and more) and sumptuous sauces, including Grandma’s famous tomato sauce. Grab a quick bite with little effort via Uber Eats.
Order Olive & Ivy’s Mediterranean fare, coffee and pastries online at the resto’s website. The full menu runs the gamut from small plates (lamb meatballs, bacon-wrapped dates), bruschetta and flatbreads, and delectable entrees (sea scallops, braised short rib). You can even pair your meal with a to-go beer or wine!
This upscale gastropub has been feeding Scottsdale since its opening in 2011. The online menu is available directly on the website and delivered by Doordash or Uber Eats. Order a bevy of bar snacks like imported olives and rosemary roasted nuts; starters include burrata and wild shrimp cocktail; and entrees feature short ribs, cozy meatloaf and seared scallops.
