Brocoli, Spinach, Ricotta Stuffed Pizza from Gio’s Pizza in Anthem AZ

Gio’s Pizza in Anthem Arizona serves Italian/Sicilian , New York and what they call…Authentic  Pizza and more. This is a small family owned pizzeria located across the street from The Anthem Outlet Mall. On Gio’s Website they state that they use their family recipes and only use the highest quality ingredients. This small restaurant isn’t fancy and only seats about five small tables inside and two tables outside. As you enter the tight entrance you see all kinds of pizzas on display. In the dining room I noticed a few Sicilian trinkets on the walls and I heard thick Italian accents in the energetic noisy kitchen.

This pizzeria differs in offerings from any other pizzeria I’ve been to in Metro Phoenix. They offer Spaghetti Rolls. They are made with very mild red sauce…just right for children or those who are children at heart!

Spaghetti Roll

Stuffed Pin Wheels that look like fancy stars, garlic knots, calzones, wings, salads-

Regular crust pizza……..Not the most unique but every pizza place offers a plain slice.

Regular Crust Pizza

A Regular Crust Bianca Neve of Mozzarella, Garlic and Ricotta Cheese At the time I had it I know they used Polly-O Brand a popular East Coast Brand. I heard the guys chanting in the kitchen. “Yo we use the Polly-O” as mixers were whirling and the sounds of hands were slapping dough.  I saw a big tub of Polly-O ricotta on the table.  This pizza was my favorite at Gio’s so far……

Gio’s offers Sicilian Thick Rectangular pizzas like the-

Nonna – Bread Crumbs, Onion, Tomato and Mozzarella

Stuffed Pizzas like the Broccoli, Spinach and Ricotta (Pictured at the start…..well it seemed healthy…LOL…..Lots of Spinach and Broccoli…….It’s quite enormous and in my opinion is two or more meals) The top is very unique….the crust folds over and turns into a thin crisp cheese crust)

and

Stuffed Sausage, Pepperoni and Potato my husband had the last two times.

They offer cannoli, espresso and sell small tubs of a frozen confections..(gelato or Italian Ice? not sure..didn’t look too close and couldn’t even consider a tub of confection after eating here)

Unique little Pizza Place that offers something different.

I’d say Gio’s Pizza of Anthem AZ is Worth a Fork!

Worth a Fork! Not a fancy place……. Small. You might want to give them a try if you are in the area.
