Johnny Pomodoro — Restaurant in Boston

Take-out only spot with interesting tray pizzas and good baked wings.

On my recent visit on a quiet weekday evening, I got the Cacio E Pepe wings and the Pepperoni Tray pizza. Starting with the Cacio E Pepe wings, their robust dry-rubbed flavor profile won me over. Not the most tender wings I've had, but the seasoning combined with a subtle baked crust undertone was a pleasant departure from the norm.

The Crispy Pepperoni Cup Tray Pizza, however, had its highs and lows. At first glance and bite, it felt reminiscent of a cheesy bread topped with pepperoni and a hint of tomato sauce. The crunchy edges were delightful, but the thickness of the dough made for a heftier experience than I would've preferred. It teetered between the styles of a classic pizza and a Chicago deep dish, albeit minus the lavish sauce of the latter. The honey drizzle, for someone with a palate tolerant of sweetness in savory dishes, was an interesting touch. Yet, when weighing up the overall experience with its price point, it settled in the realm of satisfactory.

The prices are slightly steeper than other local pizza spots, but whether it warrants the premium is debatable. Nevertheless, Johnny Pomodoro offers a curious culinary experience for those keen to venture beyond traditional pizza shop fare. While some aspects justify the price, others might leave you contemplating value. Worth a try, but set expectations...

I was able to catch this place when they first opened and my expectations were very high based on all the other reviews. I had an arugula salad, pepperoni pizza, meatballs and a cookie.

Salad was great and humongous, the chicken I got on it was fantastic but a little pricey.

cookie was incredible maybe the best part of the meal.

Pizza was .. good.. maybe my expectations were too high or I was too late to pick it up ( a notification for when food is ready would be great) it was a big soggy.

I love Detroit pizza and they do a good job just wish it was a little crispier and a little saucier.

Now for the meatballs they were super good, very soft and tasty but I wish It was in the same sauce the pizza had also felt weird eating meatballs out of a container with no pasta or bread that’s kinda on me for ordering them I guess.

All in all good experience, would go back. I’m sure they’re still tweaking things...

I hate to leave negative reviews and always try to reach out to a restaurant, I messaged them one month ago and never heard a response though so I have to write the review in hopes that they correct the issue in the future. I'm just going to copy and paste the message I sent "Hey I just wanted to reach out. I ordered a couple pizzas last night, an orange line and a crispy pepperoni. They looked beautiful but when we went to eat them what at first I thought was a very thick layer of cheese was actually uncooked dough in the middle of the slices, the edges were cooked perfectly but the dough in the middle you could stretch and pull apart like raw dough. Im sure it was an honest mistake and the restaurant is still new so Im sure some kinks can be worked out. Just wanted to give a heads up. Im confident the pizzas would have been awesome if cooked a...
