What started as a pop-up ghost kitchen when the original opened in Phoenix in 2020, is now coming into its own in North Phoenix. Fly Bye knows where it came from – the cheesy pan pizza with caramelized crust; golden buttermilk-dipped, hand-breaded chicken tenders; juicy chicken wings; eight house-made, lick-up-every-drop sauces, the cheese fondue and the spicy buffalo. Plus, don’t forget the salads because, yes Mom, we promise we’ll eat our greens.

Fly Bye now has an even bigger menu with the introduction of hand-tossed pizzas, more chopped salad options and hoagies. But, we know a thing or two about giving the people what they came for, so our famous pizzas like the Crispy Chicken Parmesan, Black Truffle Mushroom, Copper Hat and Pepperoni all still have their place on the menu. However, new additions are ready for the spotlight like Lebanese Mom (marinated tomato, roasted garlic, spinach leaf, feta yogurt, za’atar); The Brooklyn (pepperoni, Italian sausage, nueske’s bacon, mozzarella, crushed tomato sauce); Meatball (mozzarella, Italian oregano, crushed tomato sauce, parmesan cream) and Flower Child (portobello mushroom, charred onion, leafy greens, mozzarella), named after our sister restaurant in Desert Ridge. And you never know when a craving will strike and a new menu item will pop up. Plus, guests can build-their-own pizza with any of our three crust options (hand-stretched, Detroit-style and gluten-free).

“There’s just nothing better than hot-from-the oven, cheesy Detroit-style pan pizza smothered in ranch, unless of course you’ve got a side of crunchy, handmade chicken tenders,” said Sam Fox in a statement. “We’re excited our doors are open and we’re ready for North Phoenix to come try their new go-to pizza and chicken spot.”

To satisfy those cravings, Fly Bye has a super-fast, super-simple online ordering system for curbside pick-up (or delivery) with some of the latest and greatest technology out there. Just drive up, park and the Fly Bye team will automatically be notified when you’re in the vicinity.
