text: Remember when Pomo used to occupy that touristy fauxMediterranean space in the most upscale part of Scottsdale They served one of the best Napoletana pizzas I have ever had in one of the most pretentious snooty atmospheres imaginable I am thrilled to report that my experience with the downtown Pomo was not at all the samennHaving just walked from Cibo where we enjoyed a decent pie I am still not convinced that Cibo comes anywhere close to its level of hype we stepped into Pomo expecting to be lambasted with stucco fake accents and photos of Florence Imagine our surprise when it turned out to be trendy That is right it was modern decor and the waitstaff was of the hipster variety Wow that was unexpectednnMy biggest problem with the original store had been taken care of This was turning out to be an excellent dining experience We then ordered our pie expecting the same quality we had enjoyed from the old Scottsdale ovennnNopennWhat happened The pizza was not adequately soupy It lacked the amazing flavor and attention to detail that made it somewhat worthwhile to brave Scottsdales most selfabsorbed patrons In short it was underwhelming nnAfter we left here we proceeded to walk right down the street to La Piazza Locale also VPN certified for our third and best pie of the evening I suggest you do the same They have the same modern vibe with a much better Napoletana pie
