Now open: Pomo Pizzeria Napoletana in downtown Gilbert

Seems like it’s taken forever, but Pomo Pizzeria Napoletana finally is open in downtown Gilbert.

It joins a row of recently opened eateries – including Zinburger, Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles, and Barrio Queen – at the Heritage Marketplace.

Pomo is one of the Valley’s few VPN-certified pizzerias, meaning its food meets quality standards set by Italian trade association Napoletana Verace Pizza.

Beside its thin-crust, wood-oven pizzas, Pomo offers salads, soups, pastas, and panini sandwiches,

The Gilbert location is the fourth in the Valley, joining others in Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Glendale.

Hours are 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
