Some recommendations for food & activities in the Gilbert area
The pizza here has been rated by top food critics as *the* best pizza worldwide (seriously). There are Italian pizzerias that buy their flour from the farms in Arizona that grow Pizzeria Bianca's pizza flour. They have their own episode of Chef's Table. It's that good.
