Fire & Brimstone brings primal cooking experience to Gilbert, tucked inside Barnone. There's something magical about watching flames lick fresh dough while you wait for your table.
Their wood-fired pizzas showcase locally sourced ingredients, many pulled straight from The Farm at Agritopia's soil. The menu spans traditional favorites and creative combinations, plus hearty sandwiches and salads. Open Monday through Saturday, it’s equal parts local pride and laid-back style, right down to the branded hoodies everyone seems to be rocking. Grab a slice, a sweatshirt, and settle in!

Dog Balls is a treasure trove for dog lovers, the kind of place that makes tails wag and humans smile. This veteran-owned shop takes dog joy seriously: think sturdy toys, tasty treats, and collars that actually last.
Local fans love the beef heart snacks and the playful Lamb Chop and Alligator toys that can withstand even the toughest tug-of-war. Every toy is made with care, and that love shows in every wag.
