It’s “yee-ro” (Ask anyone of Greek heritage)

This is how the very Greek owners of the best Greek food in Austin (Santorini Cafe) taught me how to say it. And I’m inclined to believe them, because they make a damn good yee-ro.

Like you say "ye" from "year" and "raw"; in other words, it should sound like "ye-raw".

Now, if you want to say "this is gyros", you simply pronounce it as "ye-ross".
