This Hideaway House Sedona review covers what to order, where to sit, how much it costs, and whether the restaurant deserves a spot in your Sedona itinerary.
Hideaway House is one of my favorite casual restaurants in Sedona, especially when I want good food without giving up the red rock views.
The menu focuses on Italian comfort food, including pizzas, pasta, salads, and house-made bread. You can eat outside on one of the three open-air patios tucked among the trees or sit inside in one of the smaller dining rooms or near the full-service bar.
It works especially well for lunch or an early dinner after hiking, sightseeing, or spending the day exploring Sedona. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, the portions are generous, and the pricing feels reasonable compared with many other restaurants in town.
The main reason I keep returning, though, is the Peach & Pancetta Pizza.
Hideaway House combines casual dining with some of the best restaurant views in Sedona. The building sits along the hillside, and the outdoor patios look out toward the surrounding red rocks.
There are three patios, along with indoor dining rooms and a full-service bar. The layout feels more intimate than one large restaurant, and the trees around the patios provide some shade and separation between the seating areas.
You do not need to dress up, which makes it an easy stop during a busy sightseeing day. You can arrive in casual clothes, sit outside, order a pizza, and still get the scenery people often expect from a more expensive Sedona restaurant.
It fits naturally into One Perfect Day in Sedona: A First-Timer's Itinerary, especially if you want a casual lunch between sightseeing stops.
We ordered the Peach & Pancetta Pizza, a House Salad, the House-Made Bread, and a Prickly Pear Lemonade.
The pizza and salad were easily the highlights.
The Peach & Pancetta Pizza is my go-to order every time I visit Hideaway House.
The combination may sound a little unusual at first, but it works. The pizza is topped with sweet roasted peaches, salty pancetta, creamy ricotta, and fresh basil. You get sweetness from the peaches, richness from the cheese, and enough salt from the pancetta to balance everything.
I always order mine well done for an extra crispy crust, and it never disappoints. That small change makes a noticeable difference, especially if you prefer pizza with a firmer bottom instead of a softer crust.
This is the menu item I would order again without even looking at the rest of the menu.
The House Salad was one of the biggest surprises of the meal.
Side salads are often forgettable, but this one tasted fresh and came with a house-made dressing that made it much better than I expected. The ingredients were simple, but everything worked together, and the portion was large enough for two people to share.
I would order the salad again with the pizza because the freshness helps balance the richer toppings.
The House-Made Bread arrived warm and tasted very good.
However, if I had to choose between ordering the bread or saving room for more pizza and salad, I would choose the pizza and salad. The bread is enjoyable, but it was not the most memorable part of the meal.
The Prickly Pear Lemonade is a fun non-alcoholic drink to order in Arizona.
It is fruity, refreshing, and a little more interesting than a standard lemonade or soda. Hideaway House also has several creative mocktails, which I appreciated since I do not drink alcohol.
If you want something cold while sitting outside, the prickly pear lemonade is an easy choice.

The outdoor patios have excellent views of Sedona’s red rocks.
Trees surround parts of the restaurant, so the patios feel tucked into the hillside rather than completely exposed. Depending on where you sit, you may have a clearer view than other tables, but the outdoor seating is still the main reason I would choose Hideaway House over a standard indoor restaurant.
It is especially nice during lunch or earlier in the evening when you can fully see the surrounding landscape.
The views are impressive, but the restaurant still feels casual. You are not paying for a formal fine-dining experience or sitting through a long multi-course meal just to enjoy the scenery.
Save this for later on Pinterest so you don’t forget it.
Sit outside when the weather is comfortable.
The three open-air patios are one of Hideaway House’s biggest advantages, and the red rock views add a lot to the experience. Some areas are surrounded by trees, which helps the patios feel relaxed and partially shaded.
Indoor seating is still a good backup during extreme heat, cold weather, rain, or strong wind. The dining rooms are cozy, and there is also a full-service bar.
However, I would choose a patio table whenever possible.

Hideaway House is casual, welcoming, and family-friendly.
It has more of a neighborhood restaurant feel than a formal Sedona dining experience. You can come in after hiking, bring children, share a pizza, or stay for a slower meal while enjoying the view.
The dining areas are divided between several patios and smaller indoor spaces, which keeps the restaurant from feeling like one large, noisy room.
It works well for couples, families, groups of friends, and travelers looking for a relaxed lunch or dinner.
Our service was friendly, attentive, and relaxed.
The staff answered questions, offered recommendations, and checked on us without making the meal feel rushed. We had time to eat, talk, and enjoy the scenery.
That pacing matched the overall atmosphere of the restaurant.
Hideaway House is moderately priced for Sedona.
Most pizzas generally fall around the $18 to $25 range, while many pasta dishes and entrées are priced in the low-to-upper $20s.
It is not the cheapest casual meal in town, but the pricing feels fair when you consider the portion sizes, food quality, and patio views. Sharing a pizza and salad can also help keep the total cost manageable.
The portions are generous.
The pizzas work well for sharing, and the salads are large enough to split between two people. How much you need will depend on your appetite, but a pizza and salad can be enough for two people, especially if you also order bread or drinks.
I would avoid ordering too many starters before the pizza arrives. The bread is good, but I would rather have room for another slice.
Hideaway House is a good option for families because it is casual, the menu has familiar choices, and the portions are easy to share.
Pizza, pasta, salad, and bread are generally easier for groups than a more specialized menu. The relaxed atmosphere also makes it less stressful than taking children to a quiet fine-dining restaurant.
The patios give families more room to settle in, although younger children will still need supervision because the restaurant sits along a hillside.
Hideaway House works for either lunch or dinner, but I especially like it for lunch.
During the day, you can see the red rocks clearly, and the restaurant fits easily into a Sedona sightseeing itinerary. It is a good stop after a morning hike or before heading to another overlook, trail, or shopping area.
Dinner can also be enjoyable, particularly if you arrive early enough to see the sunset.

Absolutely.
Hideaway House is one of my favorite casual restaurants in Sedona because the food is consistently good, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the outdoor patios provide excellent red rock views.
The Peach & Pancetta Pizza is still the standout for me, especially ordered well done with a crispier crust. Add the House Salad and a Prickly Pear Lemonade, and you have the exact meal I would order again.
I would recommend it for lunch or an early dinner after a day of exploring Sedona, particularly when the weather is comfortable enough to sit outside.

Yes, it’s only July. Start planning anyway. Fall books faster than people expect, and a few of these destinations are worth getting ahead of. Here are five places worth putting on your radar right now.
Ireland: Cooler temps, moody skies, dramatic coastline fall was made for it. Tourist crowds drop, the green stays, and the whole country feels a little more like itself.
Great Smoky Mountains, TN/NC: Fall foliage in the Smokies is the real thing. The color peaks mid-October and the views from the ridgelines are hard to argue with. It’s also one of the most visited national parks in the country, so going on a weekday makes a real difference.
New York City: Fall is NYC at its best comfortable temps, the energy of the city shifting into a new season, and every neighborhood doing something worth showing up for. It’s also just a great walking city when it’s not brutally hot.
Japan: Fall foliage season is as good as spring cherry blossoms and somehow less talked about. The colors are dramatic, the temples and gardens are stunning, and it’s worth planning around peak dates by region.
Mystic, Connecticut: Small, walkable, genuinely charming Mystic in fall feels like exactly what a New England autumn is supposed to look like. Easy to pair with a broader New England road trip if you want to extend it.

There are two kinds of travelers: people who plan a trip and then figure out where to eat, and people who book a restaurant and then build the rest of the itinerary around it.I am the second kind. I will not apologize for this.
The reservation gets locked in first. The hotel search happens within the same 24 hours. The flights get compared around the restaurant’s hours of operation. The rest of the trip exists to fill the days before and after the table I actually came for.
If this sounds unhinged, I completely understand. It has also resulted in some of the best meals of my life, so I’m going to keep doing it.

Let’s talk about when to actually book that Dubai trip you’ve been pinning for two years. I get asked this constantly, so here’s the honest breakdown: October through April is your window. Anything outside that and you’re basically touring in a sauna!
October and November give you warm days and cooler nights, which is basically the sweet spot for wandering around without melting. December through February is peak season: gorgeous weather. March and April are the quiet insider pick, right before summer heat shows up and ruins everyone’s plans.
Saving this for later? That’s what it’s here for. Full breakdown linked in bio.
If you’re chasing energy, beaches, nightlife, and nonstop luxury, Dubai takes the crown. If you’re craving culture, iconic architecture, and meaningful landmarks at a slower pace, Abu Dhabi shines.🤍
My advice? Base yourself in Dubai and do Abu Dhabi as a day trip! The perfect balance of excitement and culture in the UAE.

I do not like seafood. 🐟 So when I booked a tasting menu at a restaurant built around aquarium walls at Atlantis The Palm, I was nervous.
Ossiano sits underwater fish gliding past the whole meal, moody lighting, the kind of room that makes you lower your voice without meaning to. It’s not cheap, and it’s not trying to be. You’re paying for the entire experience.
Here’s the honest part: they have a vegetarian tasting menu, and I assumed it would be an afterthought. It ended up in my top five meals of all time. Course after course, the same care and precision as the seafood-forward menu everyone comes for. They even swapped in a steak for the main and it still felt cohesive with everything around it.
By course four you’re full. They bring out three more breads anyway. I ate all of it. No regrets.
Small detail that stuck with me my dress was black, so they swapped my napkin from white to black without me asking. That’s the kind of thing that tells you everything about a place.
