My Pie in Gilbert Opens

By: Dana Vollmer

The newest location of My Pie has opened in Gilbert with the Grand Opening event December 3, 2016. The celebration will include food & drink specials and entertainment. A portion of sales will benefit A Broader Approach, a Gilbert, AZ-based organization committed to helping parents research and utilize biomedical treatment options for their child with autism. Awesome. Love the commitment to the community. My Pie is Arizona-based created by the same owners as Crust.   My Pie combines the Crust’s vision of homemade recipes, authentic New York style pizza and strong family values with the ‘build your own’ concept in their fast casual eateries. Growing up in Philadelphia and spending my summers at the Jersey shore, I’m a New York style girl. Sorry, Chicago-style pizza lovers, I just don’t get.

I was invited to attend their media preview event, taste the menu and hear owner Ryan Mitchell’s vision of their newest location. Love their vision with a focus on family and community.

We started with some tasty Garlic Knots and Caprese. LOVED the Garlic Knots

Now let’s talk pizza. My Pie makes their pizza dough and sauce from daily from scratch. They offer vegetarian and gluten free options too. Besides Pizza Your Way, they offer some amazing menu pizza combinations.

Craving a salad? They’re got those too. I loved the Health Nut with the combination of fresh vegetables and the crunch of the almonds and sunflower seeds.

If you’re in the mood for an adult beverage, the menu includes wine and beer with local favorites Grand Canyon Brewing Company and San Tan Brewing Company.

Always good to finish with something sweet.

“I’m thrilled to open our third Arizona installment of My Pie. This has truly been a labor of love and an amazing dream realized for myself and my team. We have our sights set on continuing to grow this awesome concept through a love for our customers, friends and community. Our goal is to become your neighborhood pizzeria at each of our locations. It all starts with giving back and we can’t wait to develop strong relationships in the east valley,” said Ryan Mitchell, vice president of operations, My Pie.

Merry Christmas Eve Merry Christmas Eve
Opened my first wine from my @firstleafwineclub bo Opened my first wine from my @firstleafwineclub box 🍷 Caduto dalle Nuvole Pinot Grigio from Garda Doc, Italy. I give it 4 stars for an every day wine. Citrusy but not too sweet with earthy undertones, very balanced

So I discovered I don’t own white wine glasses. I have red wine, beer glasses and a variety of cocktail glasses, but no white wine. I recently cleared out all my event swag glasses not realizing it left me without a simple white wine glass. Guess what I’m getting for Christmas??

Water Mark. Have you ever taken time to view these Water Mark. Have you ever taken time to view these sculptures up close? These 14 ft equine gargoyle structures are part of Scottsdale’s Indian Bend Wash. when water floods the area, water pours from the gargoyles’ mouth. 

Have you seen it during a flood? I’ve only seen them once and it was quite a few years ago (it’s been awhile since we’ve seen any rain in Scottsdale)

Finally a break from the Arizona heat which means Finally a break from the Arizona heat which means it’s finally patio season!! My favorite and this year I’ve been looking forward to it more than ever. We’ve opted for takeout over dine in since March (our own personal decision, decide what works for you) and are excited to start patio dining! There’s just something I love about sipping cocktails on a restaurant patio 🍹🍸🥃 @zuzu was one of the last restaurants we dined at before things started to change and if you’ve followed us for awhile, you know its one of our favorite places. #throwback 

Where should we patio dine first??
