Pizza Pomodoro

This place has truly brought us back to Napoli. Pizzas are made fresh in wood-fired oven. We had the Margherita and Bufalina. Both were so delicious that we had to go back the day after! I would not expect less as Pizza Pomodoro is certified by AVPN aka “The True Neapolitan Pizza Association” (so far, only 3 are certified in NZ!). The place has a couple of tables that are really only suited for two people each but you can also find their menu at the nearby Goldings Free Dive Bar. Tip: You can order half and half pizza if you’re torn between two pizza flavours!

I was desperate for a pizza, (I hadn't had a pizza in at least two months) While I did not dine in, the decor and design was a modern twist on an classic Italian, with a neon sign for instance. 31 dollars, In my opinion is quite pricey for a pizza so I was sceptical it would justify the price. While it was very good, it didn't quite justify the price for me. The tomato sauce was lacking in flavour in my opinion, not any rich, tangy flavours, nothing really too special. The mozzarella, while not bad quality, was exactly like the tomato in the sense of being good quality but not being that bit better. The "Rocket" supposed to be on the pizza was more a salad mix rather than just rocket, not really adding that peppery, fresh kick that just having rocket would. Where the pizza picks up in it's points is the stone baked base (a stone baked pizza always is a big pro for me.) The whole pizza was charred just enough, the crust being not too doughy with just a slight crisp to it. The balsamic glaze paired particularly well with the parma ham, the sweet tang complementing with the rich, salty ham perfectly. Would I come here again? Yes, but I would pick something different.

Wellington’s pickiest pizza fan from NYC here: This is the best pizza in the city that I’ve found so far. The winning ingredient is the crust which rivals NYC’s best. It’s soft, chewy and charred just right. It’s a little to thin to support the more ambitious pies with lots of heavy ingredients on them, but you just scoop the stuff up and eat it anyway. Be warned, though, as Pizza Pomodoro only has a couple tiny tables that are really only suited for two people each. I somehow squished my family of four at one of the tables as the fellas at the next table gave us their spare stool, but it’s tight. This is really a good take-away place, so if you plan accordingly you’ll likely have a better experience (bringing it home). 🍕

You know I can’t take this whole pizza photo, Take the pizza and just go straight into my mouth. You must try it when warm The dough was so glutenous and savory. Also It is a woodfire pizza, these reason make me be a huge fan of Pomodoro Pizza. I really wanted to try Italian(Napoli st) pizza, ya it is, exactly it is. It make me satisfy, really love it, but the dough is little bit thin as I am thinking. Whatever, you should try variety Pomodoro pizza
