Pomodoro Namibia — Restaurant in Erongo Region

For a place so focused on trying to be Italian, it just doesn't quite hit the mark.

Pizzas:

Oven: The pizzas had delightful leopard spotting at the bottom, and the thin crust was crispy. However, they lacked proper heat on top.

Dough: I appreciate a dough with some chew, but these seemed overworked, making them a bit too chewy. The proofing was good, with nice airy pockets in the crust.

Base Sauce: The tomato base tasted like canned sauce, overly acidic and sweet with no nuanced flavor.

Toppings: Some worked better than others, but often, quality was sacrificed for quantity. The buffalo mozzarella on the trip to Italy was disappointing in both quality and quantity.

Finish: The major issue was how poorly the parmesan was added on top. Instead of a proper grater, a general household grater was used, resulting in annoying little sticks rather than a proper blanket of snow that melts.

Admosphere:

Seating: The green benches are quite upright and do nothing for ergonomics; avoid them if you can.

Music: was relazing but seemed unsure of what it was tring to do.

Service: It was busy for the amount of servers no doubt but, each had a maximum of 3 tables and even when we were the last table service was stil slow and faild to notice when we were asking for help.

If it were a typical pizza spot, I might have cared less, as the taste was still okay. However, it falls short of being authentically Italian despite its efforts. It feels more like the ownes does not really care for the restaurant, like they have miltiple and rather sees it as another avenue of income instead of a passion.

Went this evening for take away, I had informed the manager that last evening I was there, took my meal home, and when in morning I found it very undercooked. (tasted gross) I wanted to ensure that it was cooked well. She said that I always complain when I am there, previously they gave calozone WITHOUT sauce. What type of ITALIAN restaurant provides calzone without sauce, seems they are more interesting in a showy place(waiters had costumes on), then concentrating on creating good pizza( I'm...

We are not from Namibia so we heavily rely on Google. This restaurant mentioned that it closes at 10pm we got there are 8pm to them cleaning and packing up. The staff were very friendly and said they could help us with Take Away only. Im glad we did because the pasta was so delicious. The pizza wasn't bad either, just needed a little more seasoning. I think a Google update would be a smart...
