The Absolute Best Pizza Places in Gilbert

Look, I’ve eaten enough cheese in this town to know Gilbert doesn’t mess around when it comes to crust. From the coal-fired char at Grimaldi’s to the buttery deep dish at Vero that honestly makes Chicago jealous, this list runs the whole damn spectrum.

I even found a strawberry rhubarb Negroni at Crust that pairs suspiciously well with spicy garlic knots. So if you’re tired of the same old slice and want to know where the locals actually go, I’ve done the heavy lifting.

Here are the spots worth your Friday night.

Buono's Pizza Higley

Highlights
Clean, spacious dining room
New York-style pizza perfection
Huge, shareable portions
Friendly, attentive service
Great for families

Buono's Pizza Higley knows exactly what it's doing. The dining room is clean and spacious, which matters more than you'd think when you're eating a huge slice with your hands. Each pie comes out New York-style done right: crisp enough at the fold, chewy in the middle, with a sauce that doesn't apologize. Portions are genuinely shareable, so bring your appetite or a friend. The staff greets you warmly and keeps refills coming without hovering. Families will feel at home here, and you won't feel rushed. I left happy, full, and already planning my next visit.

Vero Chicago Pizza

Highlights
Deep dish beats Chicago classics
Sauce balances sweet and tangy
Buttery crust, light and fluffy
Fresh toppings, juicy and crisp
Great food, service can lag

Vero Chicago Pizza takes deep dish seriously. The crust is buttery, light, and fluffy, which is a welcome surprise in a style that often turns heavy. The sauce strikes a perfect balance between sweet and tangy, and the toppings stay juicy and crisp even under all that cheese. Honestly, this deep dish might outshine what I've had in Chicago. The only hiccup is the service, which can lag when they're busy. But the food arrives hot and worth the wait. If you're patient, you'll be rewarded with a pie that answers the question.
