| - After an article in AZ Republic last week, my family and I decided to give it a whirl. Since my niece is 15 months and not great at restaurants right now, we opted for take out.
The menu is in Italian, so, being the only one in my family to speak the language, I ordered over the phone. I was not being pretentious, I just was ordering as things were written on the menu. Of course, the guy taking my order had no idea what I was saying and I had to translate the order back into English, which was kind of weird.
The food arrived and was kind of cold, which I was expecting. But the flavors were all there and the pizzas did remind me a lot of what I've had in Italy both in size, taste and appearance. The crust was really nice, chewy, with that delicious wood-fired smokiness. The sauce was simply crushed San Marzano tomatoes that had a wonderful, sweet flavor. I opted for a pizza with buffalo mozzarella, which had a little sharper taste than the cow's milk cheese.
My brother tried one of the Pizze Frite, fried pizzas, which was kind of like a deep fried calzone, or a giant fried ravioli. It was OK, but I know he was glad to sample some of the other pizzas we ordered.
I would like to eat Pomo again. Next time, I'm dining in. You can't beat a pipping hot pizza straight out of the oven!
