Wingman Metrics
The wine list at Barro's Chandler is three lines long — and we mean that literally. Cab, Chard, Pinot Grigio, all $6, no producers listed, no context given. This is a pizza chain that has technically checked the 'we have wine' box and moved on with its life.
Three unnamed California varietal wines is not a wine program — it's a placeholder. There's no producer information, no vintage, no region beyond the broad 'California' label, which could mean anything from a bulk Central Valley pour to something passable. The list hasn't been curated so much as assembled. If you're looking for depth, regional diversity, or even a second Cab option, you won't find it here.
All three wines are available by the glass at $6, which is the entire by-the-glass program because it is also the entire wine program. No rotation, no seasonal additions, no surprises. To Barro's credit, $6 a glass is an honest price for what this almost certainly is.
Pinot Grigio — $6
At $6 a glass with no producer to disappoint you, the Pinot Grigio is the least risky call — light, cold, and it won't fight the pizza.
Chardonnay
Nobody ordering pizza at Barro's is reaching for the Chardonnay, which makes it the underdog pick. At $6 it's a low-stakes curiosity, and if it lands even slightly buttery, it's a better match for the white pies than you'd expect.
Cabernet
A nameless California Cab at a pizza counter is almost certainly too tannic and too warm for the job. Beer beats it every time here.
Pinot Grigio + Pepperoni Pizza
The Pinot Grigio's lightness means it won't clash with the grease and salt of a pepperoni pie — it just stays out of the way, which is the best you can ask for here.
The Bottom Line
Barro's is a solid family pizza spot where the beer list does all the heavy lifting. Come for the pizza, order a cold one, and leave the wine list to someone who asked for it.
Downtown Chandler · Chandler · Wine bar / small plates
BlackSheep is the kind of neighborhood wine bar that punches above its zip code — daily deals, a genuinely curious regional list, and a casual atmosphere that makes wine feel accessible rather than intimidating. If you're anywhere near downtown Chandler, this is the move for a weekday afternoon glass.

· Chandler · Steakhouse
Perry's Chandler is a reliable wine stop for a steakhouse night — 37 by-the-glass options and a solid sparkling section save it from being boring, but the markups and crowd-pleaser roster keep it from being great. Order the Tempranillo or Crémant and you'll drink well; chase the familiar California labels and you'll pay for the brand name, not the wine.

· Chandler · Japanese teppanyaki
Benihana Chandler's wine list won't blow your mind, but it's functional and has a few genuine bright spots buried under the crowd-pleasers. If you're here for the show, grab the Rochioli or the Balland Sancerre and enjoy the flying shrimp.

· Chandler · Wine Bar / American Small Plates
The Wild Vine Uncorked has the aesthetic of a wine bar and the wine list of a casual chain restaurant — if you're coming specifically for the wine program, there's not enough here to justify the trip. Order the Craggy Range, enjoy your company, and recalibrate expectations.

Desert Ridge · Chandler · Hawaiian Fusion / Seafood
Roy's punches above its chain-restaurant weight with a wine list that has real picks across sparkling, white, and international categories — but steep markups on recognizable bottles mean you need to know where to look. Send your wine-curious friends here with a cheat sheet and they'll do just fine.

· Chandler · French steakhouse / bistro
A sparkling-only list in a French steakhouse sounds like a gimmick until you see Egly-Ouriet, Selosse, and Contratto sharing space with a $29 Moët. This is a genuinely unusual, thoughtfully assembled program that rewards curious drinkers — just know what you're walking into.

The Shops at Legacy · Plano · Pizzeria
Grimaldi's wine list is exactly what it needs to be for a pizzeria — recognizable, inoffensive, and Italian-leaning enough to feel intentional. Just don't expect anyone behind the counter to guide you through it, and steer clear of the California crowd-pleasers when the Tuscans are right there.

Via 313 is here for the pizza, full stop — and the wine list makes that priority abundantly clear. Order a slice, skip the wine program discourse, and come back when they care.
