Don't waste your time or money

by jusbeinreal

My fiance and I were in town for just a few days...and before we left we HAD to have some good New York style pizza. The hotel concierge recommended Lombardi's, so we jumped on a subway down to little Italy. Unfortunately, the line at Lombardi's was unreal...and at 20 degrees...we just wanted to sit down inside somewhere and eat. We went to Pomodoro's which was one block over and was seated almost immediately. We ordered hot wings and a large pizza. They brought us regular wings with hot sauce sprinkled over them and the carrots were drenched in hot sauce also (who eats carrots w/ hot sauce???). The pizza was not good at all...so we didnt even bother taking the five slices we had left over. By the time we left we understood why everyone was stuffed in Lombardi's and Pomodoro's was only moderatly busy. We have had better New York style pizza in Atlanta, Georgia. We will never go back. .

• Pros: slices are big
• Cons: pizza is not good; service was not good

Service and food not worth the visit

by bloom75

This review was based on a slice of pizza I had at Pomodoro.

I would not venture back to Pomodoro for any reason. I have spent my entire life in NYC and that was the worst pizza I have ever had. It was a reheated slice of pizza. Reheated pizza is common for places that sell pizza by the slice. I have no problems with that. I actually enjoy reheated pizza and grew up on reheated pizza. The sauce on my pizza was pretty much nonexistent and the cheese was unbearable. I am not sure if the cheese was real or imitation. The crust was ok. The sausage on the pizza was perfectly fine though. To be fair, perhaps other items on the menu may taste better. I love food and believe in second chances, but I was not impressed enough with this place to ever return.

• Pros: In a really great location of NYC
• Cons: taste of pizza was not favorable; service was cold and inconsistent between patrons

Try the Pesto Ravioli in Vodka Sauce

by AnonAnonAnon

I very much enjoyed my ravioli filled with pesto in vodka sauce -- to die for. Garlic bread was excellent. Free salad was a nice surprise.

My friend, who recommended the restaurant because she had a prior satisfying experience, was also very happy with her classic pizza dish. I thanked her numerous times for recommending Pomodoro to me.

I will go again and am this week. This time I will introduce it to another friend.

Remember to stop by Rice to Riches, just a block away, for a supreme dessert experience.

• Pros: Great food and service.
• Cons: Nothing I can think of.
