Can't believe I hadn't tried LGO pizza before!
I've heard Phoenix is an unsuspecting spot for some of the best pizza in the country, and the much-raved-about LGO did not disappoint.
We went with the Gladiator pizza to share.. wasn't too cheesy, not too sauce-y. The sausage had a nice bite to it and pepperoni was yummy. Crispy crust and loved the subtle notes of parmesan that came through with every bite. In addition, I also ordered the kale & quinoa salad with rotisserie chicken. WOW! Awesome salad and a solid portion. Loved how all the ingredients jived with one another and the cervil vinagrette dressing was like the cherry on top.
Great set up. I've been in the daytime for their grab-n-go section, and the ambience from day to night is almost a 180 degree difference. Romantic dim lighting (especially in the "tasting room" section in back) made for a wonderful setting for dinner. We grabbed a bottle of Malbec to pair with our dinner. For you wine-o's out there: they have a lovely selection of nicely-priced bottles available in the grocery section that they will uncork for you for no additional fee. Holla!
Before leaving, we checked out the grocery/store section..tons of fun, unique and quirky gifts. We also made a stop at the gelato counter. I really liked that they offered miniature portions - it was the perfect sweet cap to a fantastic dinner and experience.
Will return (again and again!)
