Choosing the Best Ingredients
Since 2000, our journey has been rooted in family values—treating our guests and staff like part of our own. We're committed to transparency about what goes into our food and where it comes from. Our philosophy is simple: let quality ingredients speak for themselves. It's how we learned to cook in Italy—where using the best isn’t a trend, it’s just how it’s done. For over 25 years, we’ve stayed true to this approach as we welcome more guests into the Gerardo’s family.

We’re proud to craft our pizza dough using flour from Shepherd’s Grain—a farmer-owned company dedicated to regenerative agriculture. Their wheat is grown using no-till methods, diverse crop rotations, and practices that build healthy, carbon-rich soils. These efforts not only enhance soil health but also help sequester carbon, contributing to climate change mitigation.

We proudly use beef from Tres Hermanas Ranch, located just 20 minutes away in Cornville.
Their purebred Angus cattle have been born and raised on the ranch for generations. All cows are 100% pasture-raised, grass-fed, and grass-finished—never given corn, grain, or byproducts. This results in cleaner, richer, more naturally flavorful beef—perfect for our house-made Bolognese.
