Great ambiance, music, & wine. Great ambiance, live music, salads, pizza, and wine by the glass. It was a perfect place to meet friends for a casual Friday night. It was easy to eat light. The music was very nice, and it was possible to chat at the same time. Three of us had the spinach and strawberry salad, and one had the pear, walnut and blue cheese salad. The spinach strawberry salad was a winner, I will be back for that alone! The pear and walnut was good, but unfortunately the pears were not ripe. Pizza was thin crust and you could chose any topping your like. I did not love the pizza as much as the salad but would give it another try in the future just to eat that salad again!

Tasty food and wine. We loved the atmosphere of this place. It was very cozy and relaxing.
I ordered the seasonal wine flight. All the choices were wonderful. I don't like syrah so the server brought me a different red in place of it. I ordered the four cheese pizza which was very good. It actually tastes similar to Pizzeria Bianco's pizza. My husband had the wiseguy which he enjoyed.
Our server was very cool and very knowledgeable about wine. He was full of information but he wasn't pretentious and didn't make us feel stupid the way some other wine bar servers have in the past.
My only complaint was it was a little expensive for what you get. But their happy hour seemed very reasonable so we will definitely go back for that!
Warm Chicken Cous Cous Salad.... ...need I say more!! By far my FAVORITE dish in all of North Scottsdale!! (and that includes the HIGH-END establishments).
My sister came in from the LA area (also has great eateries) and in less than two weeks we ate the WCCCS 3 times!! I'm going there tonight!
Love the owners and staff as well.

Great Views & Friendly Atmosphere. I have been coming to Rare Earth for the past four years now and I still love it. The staff is friendly, the views are great and the food is even better. This is the kind of place where the staff remembers your regular order and asks about the kids. It just feels like home to me.
However no matter how great the atmosphere, I wouldn't keep coming back week after week if it weren't for the food. In my opinion the pizza rivals Pizzeria Bianco and the wait is a lot shorter! The pizzas are very thin crust and extra crispy and the toppings are fresh and inventive. My personal favorite is the Breakfast Anytime pizza with extra-crispy crumbled bacon and an egg in the middle. If you are in the mood for a salad then I would have the Pear, Walnut & Blue Cheese salad which is tossed with lightly candied pecans as well. It's perfect for lunch or you can add some chicken and have it for dinner.
They also offer all kinds of regular specials like half-price wine bottles every Monday and a killer happy hour every day from 4pm - 6pm with $5 glasses of wine and $6 Margherita Pizzas. The free wireless internet is also a great excuse to "work" in the afternoon over a nice glass of wine.
Most people drive right by this little gem without even knowing it's here since it is tucked away upstairs, but the second story balcony is what gives the restaurant it's awesome mountain views. Check it out. You will be glad you did!
Very good pizza, salads and drinks. Great neighborhood place. Atmosphere is first rate and sitting on the terrace is awesome.
Loved the Pizza, atmosphere, live music and the wine. Great place. Glad to have it as a neighborhood restaurant.
Too bad this place is closing it's doors. Tonight is the last night
