Pomodoro Pizza

I walked by this establishment several times during my stay. I thought I would give it a try. I was VERY disappointed. I found the pizza to be bland and it has a burnt taste. I did not enjoy it.

From the outside it looks like a cheap, subpar pizza spot like all the others.
IT IS NOT!
I love the pizza here. I always get the $ 10 personal pizza special, which includes 3 toppings. The ingredients are fresh, the pizza isn’t greasy, and the crust is thin.
Obviously not gourmet but much better than other places I’ve been to.

This pizza is delicious. I wish I lived/​worked in the area. Will definitely stop in if I’m in the neighborhood.

Worst pizza ever. Made me sick after I ate it

If you need a quick bite, and really don’t care what is going down your throat, yeah, I guess you can come here, I just hope this is not your one and only place you go to for New York style pizza! After a tour of the ⁹⁄₁₁ Memorial, me and my dear were getting hungry, food was definitely needed, yet we weren’t able to travel too far, but needed to get away from all the people around the area, so we ended up here. Thinking, ‘it’s New York’ all pizza should be good should have not been on our mind, not one bit, but, I speak for myself only, it was on mine, I mean this is like a signature dish, no? Well hoping this is not your only stop in New York for what is known for it’s pizza… it can’t get any worse.
The only saving grace for this place is for anyone who doesn’t want to be swindled from the high priced foods around this area due to the fact it’s in tourist trap district. We were hungry, walked for a long time, gas tank empty, and just needed a small bite to get us going to get to a better place for food, and saw this place. Coming in here you see pizza’s laid out like toys behind a glass wall, and when you order they take that slice and put it back into the oven. Wait, isn’t this just like putting it back in the microwave, doesn’t reheating your food like this dry it up? No, you’re not getting fresh pizza here, what you’re getting is pizza that has taken too much air, laid out like a pan-​handler, as in. you don’t know how long it’s been out.
Served on a flimsy paper plate that couldn’t swat a fly dead, that was our situation on this meal. Looking at the pizza, there was barely any sauce, and the crust itself was powdery and dry, the only saving grace is that it had enough vegetable toppings. Bite, bite, bite, and go, maybe use the washroom… but don’t think this is New York style pizza… nope. But it’s close enough from exiting all the swarms of people coming and going from the memorial, and if you just need anything… ‘anything’. it’s edible.

I came all the way from Maryland and wanted some New York style pizza on my visit. The first clue was this place was empty around 2 in the afternoon, but we tried it anyway… The pizza was dry, bland, not fresh and horrible. The hot pepper flakes bottle was unscrewed and the whole contents spilled on our pizza. Then the guy behind the pizza counter gave us a hard time about replacing the ruined pizza. Not to mention for an empty restaurant someone could have cleaned the filthy tables! Never again!

As far as NYC pizza goes, this tastes a little like frozen pizza in comparison. However, it was the only place open and close to my hotel so I stopped in for a quick slice. It wasn’t my favorite but it did the trick. I wouldn’t make any special trips to come here, though.

Very dough-​ey slices, and at $ 3.99 for a pepperoni slice, overpiced. Highly mediocre
Also, if you sell by the slice, do not add tax. That is ridiculous. Get your act together.

My hotel was situated in the heart of the World Trade Center memorial grounds, and lining the streets were a few dining options that catered mostly to the construction workers and visitors of the city who resided in the nearby lodging establishments.
In this situation, there is very little demand for quality, due to a lack of regulars, with the exception of the construction men, who I assume would be ravishing after a day’s work and grateful for any sort of sustenance. Needless to say, I didn’t expect much when I popped into Pizza Pomodoro for my first slice of authentic New York style pizza.
And my low expectations were definitely met.
Like a typical pizzeria by-​the-​slice, the pies were placed on stands, behind a glass counter, and slices are heated in the oven upon ordering. I choose the vegetarian slice, and waited patiently for my food to be warmed.
Topped with mushroom, spinach, broccoli, and tomatoes, the vegetables were plentiful. That’s where the accolades end. Though cooked through and chewy in texture, the veggies were bland and lackluster. A lack of cheese and flavorless tomato sauce only further enhanced the boring vegetables.
Hoping to add a little flavor to my slice of dull veggie galore, I spotted some shakers of grated parmesan and garlic seasoning on the countertop. I liberally covered my slice with a mix of the two, in a final attempt to enhance the sad, pathetic slice.
But to no avail. Now I was just eating too much dry seasoning atop mushy veggies, and a burnt crust. The bland crust was blackened on the edges, ironic, considering how my pizza was lukewarm, despite having just been reheated in the oven.
What an awful first slice of New York style pizza. But that just meant one thing — it could only get better! And what other way to find better, than to explore the city more and continue eating? No complaints here: D

The customer service here was a failure. The pizza was disgusting flavorless and greasey. The woman never came around all she did was take our order and never was seen again. A gentleman brought our pizza who looked like he was from off the street. I ended up getting the stomach flu from here cause this was the only thing I ate all day. I suggest people to go to Lombardi’s instead of here. Gross!!!

Decent pizza, a little better than I expected based on the previous reviews and the looks of the place. Not good, mind you. But decent.

Seriously, this place should pay the customers to eat the pizza they are trying to sell.
Last time I was in Pomodoro’s there were four of us and we couldn’t stop laughing due to the moth behind the counter flying around and landing on the pizza, so if I could have given zero stars I would have. For some reason the dude behind the counter was looking at us as if we were crazy.
The prices are pretty outlandish, $ 3.00 for the worst slice of cheese pizza you’ve ever had is such a «bargain». I’m pretty sure the pizza sits out for at least three to five days before the throw it out, otherwise they just reheat it in the oven and sell it to the tourists /​foreigners who don’t know any better.
I’ll give them this much though, if you are lucky enough to stop by this «pizza» place when a fresh pie is coming out of the oven it probably won’t taste that bad.
As it was once mentioned, they do have a monopoly on late night food in the area, unless you want to wonder down to one of the food carts off of broadway or hit up McDonald’s for their «late night menu» a.k.a the prices double.
When is the Pussy Cat Lounge going to start serving pizza?

I don’t know what these people are thinking! This is my favorite pizza place in all of NYC.
The cheese is chewy and tastes just right. The sauce is also just right, not too sweet, and not too chunky. And the crust is amazing.
Their pizza is much better than little italy pizza places like lombardi’s or even brooklyn places like grimaldi’s.
If you’re in the area you should check it out.

Pizza is usually the last thing I ever want to eat and for it being that Pomodoro’s is the closest place to grab quick grub in my hood, this is the only reason I visit here…
This pizza is really like eating hay. There is nothing special about the sauce, dough or topping… Just bland…
Last resort pizza joint on the Lower West Side

Pomodoro’s of Spring Street this place is not, in fact it’s a far cry from the popular Soho pizza joint.
The lone pizzeria in the small «chain» that is connected to Café Bravo and Planet Gyro has been the Financial District’s supply for late night food and potheads all alike, with a reason to chow down for the stressed out suities and a great way to sober up from drunkenness at the Pussycat Lounge around the corner.
Its unlikely anyone will find lines or drunkards waiting for a craving of pizza here, because its the Financial District. The area is dead in the evening and so is this place. But the most importantly, does this tiny, clean little pizzeria serve good pizza? No. Never. No way. The pizza is edible, but only when there is absolutely nothing else to eat. I would also like to add their delivery sucks too.
It’s a shame really, they’re a virtual monopoly in this side of Battery Park /​Financial District. There is almost no one that can really compete with them for pizza. I have a feeling that even the folks behind the counter won’t eat this cardboard. This place isn’t called Pukadoro for nothing.
