Paradise Valley Burger Company launches 2nd location in south Tempe

🍔 Paradise Valley Burger Company, which has been serving up award-winning burgers in north Phoenix for the last 12 years, has opened a second location on the southwest corner of Rural and Baseline in south Tempe.

The strip-mall space briefly was home to a Matty G’s and, before that, a Smashburger.

Owner and chef Mark Shapiro’s menu offers specialty burgers – including its signature Brulee Burger on a burnt-sugar bun (pictured) – as well as sandwiches, tacos, salads, and ice cream.

Since opening in 2011, P.V. Burger Co. has won awards from nearly every Valley media outlet. In 2015, it was featured on the Food Network’s ‘‘Diners, Drive-ins & Dives.’’

Open for lunch and dinner daily.
