Cornish Pasty Company
Owned by Cornish native Dean Thomas, the Cornish Pasty Company brings a touch of the UK’s southern region to Arizona.

Over the years Dean has gotten more creative. Now, guests can even enjoy chicken alfredo, Mexican strip steak and Cajun chicken pasties alongside the more traditional lamb and mint, pork and sage, and shepherd’s pie.
