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.
