| - Outside of NYC (and maybe New Haven, CT), Phoenix may have the best overall pizza scene of anywhere in the US that I have been to before. I keep finding excellent pizza joints and am loving every minute of it! I decided to head down this way today and try out Pomo. The reviews looked great, and it was one that I had bookmarked too. Win, win. I drove down, parked in the lot next to it ($2.00 an hour) and walked over. I was the first person in the joint at about 11:30am. I was greeted by the hostess and asked where I wanted to sit. It was nice out, so I decided to sit out on the patio. I had a water to drink and then I placed my order for a Regina Margherita. The first time at a new pizza spot, I always go with a plain cheese pizza. If their plain cheese pizza is good, you know the rest of their stuff is going to be good! Here is how it was..............
Regina Margherita Pizza ($11.95)- This pizza looked great! I'm becoming a huge fan of the Napoletana style pizza. Wood fired oven, cooked quick (less than 2 minutes usually) and it makes one hell of a tasty pizza. This pizza was simple and delicious. Right away I noticed that it had plenty of cheese. My first bite in, I tasted one of the creamiest cheeses I have ever had. It was great! The sauce was nice and mellow, the basil was fragrant and delicious and the crust was fantastic! The bottom of the crust was nice and charred and blistered. The crust around the edges was charred nicely yet still soft and chewy. The middle was just a tad soggy (it's normal with these type of pizzas) but I could still pick it up, fold a slice and eat it. No knife and fork needed. I devoured that pizza in record time. It was absolutely delicious! Can't wait to try out some of their other offerings.
When I was done with my meal, the pizza cook? brought out a plate of complimentary fried dough with powdered sugar. It was a fitting ending to the meal. The little strips of dough reminded me of fried won tons. They were light and delicate and just sweet enough from the powdered sugar. Nice gesture and it was appreciated!
I only have two things bad to say about this place....both of them were based on the fact that I sat outside. There were quite a few flies. Understandable because I am outside, but there were more than normal. Maybe get some fly traps or supersonic bug zappers or something. The only other slight gripe is that if you sit outside, there is a bar next door. People were smoking out there and the smoke blew downwind over towards my way. No fault of Pomos, just a heads up. If you don't appreciate smoke, I would sit inside just in case.
Service was great and every employee I encountered had a smile on their face! If I am downtown, I know where to come for some great pizza! It was fantastic and I left very full and very impressed! I will definitely be back!
