*****UPDATE NOW CLOSED FOR BUSINESS****The Scottsdale Beer Company is located in an outdoor mall in Scottsdale Arizona. They brew Craft Beer, they offer many local Craft Beers and serve Chef Crafted elevated Bar Foods in a casual roomy sort of bar type of atmosphere.

Even if you’re not sitting at the actual bar it still feels like you are at the bar…..Maybe to make you feel like you need to wet your whistle.

It might be a different feel on the official dog friendly patio…..but I haven’t tried it out yet.

The menu changes with the seasons. Here are things we tried from previous visits.

Today I tried a Chicken Sandwich with a Salad as my side.

This platter might appear ordinary but it isn’t. The bun is a quality lightly toasted Olive Oil Bun that is spread with creamy avocado. My protein is a citrus marinated grilled and carefully charred juicy chicken breast topped with bib lettuce, ripe tomato and chipotle aioli. It’s delicious with great flavors going on…..The Chicken is so juicy the tray collects a puddle of juice when I eat the sandwich……My only complaint is that there is WAY too much roll here on this particular sandwich.  I only needed less than half the roll. I regret not showing a fork here this roll is incredibly large.

Hand made light as air croutons melt in the mouth like no other crouton I ever had. The delicious vinaigrette and sweet tomatoes combined with those amazing croutons makes a simple mixed greens salad seem satisfying…..almost indulgent.

My husband had the House Made Beer Braised Bratwurst with Cabbage Slaw, IPA Mustard aioli on Soft Roll and Four Cheese Macaroni and Cheese as his side.

It’s a very large platter but it’s all great!…….everything is masterfully seasoned…. This is one of the few platters My husband couldn’t finish. It’s rare that he has leftovers.

Pomo Pizzeria has three locations in Metro Phoenix Arizona. They are most well known for serving Certified Neapolitan Pizzas made with high quality ingredients. Pomo also offers appetizers, charcuterie, soups, salads, handmade pastas, seasonal items and the most AMAZING house made gelato.

This restaurant has a beautiful modern decor. You can view the imported Italian Wood burning oven that cooks your pizzas at 905 degrees F. They also offer some retail Italian dry goods for sale. This location of Pomo offers a variety of seating choices that are indoors and out.

We decided to share the Fregula Salad with Chicken off the Summer Menu.

Fregula are small round shaped tiny pasta that are similar to Israeli Couscous. This sort of pasta was invented to take the place of rice when there was a rice shortage long ago. Other ingredients in this salad are grilled zucchini, grilled eggplant, roasted bell peppers, creamy avocado, arugula, sweet grape tomatoes, wrinkly black olives, Pecorino Romano and added grilled chicken. We were very pleased and impressed with this salad. The chicken was moist and had a delicious flavor to it. The ingredients just seemed like they were held together with mostly just olive oil but somehow everything was delicious and very flavorful together. It was barely touched but had a lot going on with it. This might be the most delicious salad I ate this year!

The Food Critic of the Arizona Republic (Dominic Armato) recently wrote about his latest “Killer Dish,” a Focaccia like no other I ever heard of so I had to try it. (if you are a local you need to know this special focaccia is only served at Scottsdale) This Focaccia Di Recco is super flat and paper thin crisp dough. It’s like if you had a big flour tortilla and carefully split it in half so it was even thinner. But this Ligurian Style Focaccia is fresh made yeast free dough with a different texture and has a melty cheesy stracchino cheese middle. The thin dough gets crisp and sort of bubbly in different parts. It sort of seems like it was fried. It’s a $2.00 add on option to get warm local honey so you can drizzle this on your Focaccia. A little bit adds interest and a different sensation.

This is really great! It seems so light with crisp parts and other parts that almost seem grilled but aren’t. It’s like an Italian Cheese Crisp but has a rich thin pull-ee center. I think it’s even better with just a very small amount of the warmed local honey.

From previous visits at this location-

And DON’T even think about leaving without trying the BEST GELATO in Metro Phoenix. I highly recommend the signature and namesake flavor called Luna. Luna Gelateria is located in Pomo Pizzeria. The Gelato is fresh made daily with state of the art imported Italian machinery.
