Pomo Pizzeria Gilbert
There is nothing like a pizza to fill you up after a long workout – and if that’s what you’re looking for, head over to North Gilbert Road to this little pizzeria. Pomo’s continues the traditions of southern Italian cooking, which includes crusts made with slow-rising sourdough, all-natural ingredients, and flash cooking at super high heats.
