Editor's Note: MacShack has permanently closed.

You won't find the best mac and cheese in Arizona at a fancy restaurant. Instead, it's hiding at MacShack, a mom-and-pop joint tucked away in an unassuming Glendale shopping center. The menu features everything from traditional mac and cheese to even lobster mac! You can also build your own creation with dozens of cheeses, sauces, and toppings to choose from. Ooey, gooey goodness is waiting for you at MacShack, and you need to experience it as soon as possible.

Some of the best mac and cheese in Arizona is hiding right under our noses at MacShack, located in the Walmart shopping center on West Happy Valley Road in Glendale.

The space may be intimate, but the menu is huge. A dozen kinds of specialty mac and cheese are available!

There is also a build-your-own option that lets you create the custom creation of your dreams.

Whether you prefer to keep it classic or try something more unique such as pulled pork or even lobster mac, rest assured there's a bowl of cheesy goodness to please every palate.

The "Happy Valley" macaroni and cheese is a fan favorite.

It's loaded up with olives, sun-dried tomato, parmesan, capers, basil, artichokes, spinach, and roasted garlic oil to bring everything together.

For those who like a bit of heat, you can't go wrong with the "Macibertos."

This epic dish features chorizo, white cheddar, diced onion, cilantro, and a sprinkle of Dorito crumbs on top. The flavors just work - trust us.

Sometimes, nothing hits the spot quite like the winning combo of roasted tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil, which is exactly what you'll find in the Caprese mac.

Each bite transports your taste buds straight to Italy!

Both the Cheeseburger and "Dog House" mac are all-American classics.

The first boasts seasoned beef, onion, pickles, and secret sauce, while the latter has hot dogs, caramelized onions, pickled jalapenos, and Dorito crumbs.

Other noteworthy options include shrimp, Italian sausage, and Buffalo chicken. If you opt to build your own, you get to choose the type of pasta, sauce, protein, veggies, cheese, and toppings.

What masterpiece will you come up with?

Pair your pasta with some garlic bread for the ultimate comfort food meal. Other menu items include salads, desserts, and drinks.
