Lombardo Gelato

Every time I go to Az Mills mall I stop by Lombardo’s for a dish of their gelato. They always have a wide range of flavors to choose from and their product is always fresh and made daily. They are more than happy to let you sample any flavor they have to help you decide which flavor is right for you. I prefer the mango, every bite is a burst of flavorfull fresh mangos. I have tried many of the flavors and have not found any that I didn’t like.

Lombardo’s Gelato is no longer in the Fiesta Mall. They are in Arizona Mills Mall and Metro Center Mall. Their gelato is absolutely amazing. When they say that it is a certain flavor, you can guarantee that it will be that flavor. It is all natural, no preservatives. If you have an opportunity to be where they have a location, I highly recommend you trying a sample. Try as many as you like, you will not be disappointed. My favorite is the pink grapefruit, but coconut and pineapple are wonderful as well.

I wish Lombardo Gelato would come to a mall I frequent more often than Fiesta. Or Arrowhead. Or Desert Sky. Are they trying to torture me?
I hardly ever go to any of those malls, and of course, those are the only locations of Lombardo’s. Oh well. I guess that leaves this delicious little gelato spot as a treat for every now and then.
Last time I went to Fiesta Mall, they had a cookies and cream flavor that was amazing. But they also had a delicious pineapple flavor that tasted like the real deal and it even had chunks of pineapple in it. So good. It was exceptionally hard to choose, but of course I went with the least healthy option– cookies and cream.
If you’re in the mall and feeling a bit weary, Lombardo Gelato will perk you right up. And then you can burn off the calories you consumed by power shopping in the mall.

The Lombardo family is passionate about their gelato. They have 3 locations, all housed in bright, tidy kiosks inside various Valley malls. The service is extremely friendly and the gelato, delicious. I also thought it was a nice touch that the signs were written in Italian, with the English translations below them.
They offer approximately 18 flavors, which rotate depending on what the Lombardos decide to make that day. When I last visited the line-​up included seasonal flavors such as mango and tangerine, as well as regional specialties, like horchata and prickly pear (!). And of course, there are the more traditional vanilla bean, chocolate, coffee and sweet cream. Good news for the west valley — there are 2 Lombardos there!
