Velvet Elvis at La Misión

Velvet Elvis, established in 1998, has become a destination after former Governor Janet Napolitano designated it "An Arizona Treasure" in 2005. With the emphasis on casual elegance, health and creativity, the restaurant serves stone baked, whole wheat crust pizza with an unusual variety of toppings, freshly pressed juices, organic salads, organic and biodynamic wines, and imported beers. The restaurant also offers choices of eclectic entrees and delicious desserts. In 2008, Arizona Highways named Velvet Elvis one of the top 25 restaurants in the state. In 2009, Tucson Lifestyle selected Velvet Elvis The Editor's Choice, Best of Town. In addition, the restaurant has been mentioned in national and international travel publications, National Geographic, and newspapers across the U.S. and Mexico.
