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). 🍕

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.

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!

Small outlet but awesome pizzas. Two tables to dine in at or else takeaway. Pizza made fresh from scratch and tastes gr8. Pricey but worth the experience.
Elias Schermer
Very well done Neapolitan Pizza.. just like in Naples ✨

THE absolute best Pizza in the Wellington Region, rounded off with a delicious pistachio tiramisu. It’s a take out place rather than a sit in. 2 small tables are on site though.
Maria Khaydar
amazing place! if you want to eat the best pizza in New Zealand - this is the one you should definitely try. authentic Italian pizza, handmade in front of you and wood-fried in the oven. 10/10!
Chris Lamb
Best pizza in Wellington! Definitely worth a visit but there is limited seating inside. So you might be better ordering it to take away 🍕
David Hong
Good quality and reasonable price for pizza margherita at lunch. I had the pizza two years ago, not sure whether they still have it or not, and if so, O strongly recommend their lunch special! Only 10 bucks for a medium sized pizza!

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
Carolyn Lister
Delicious pizza and great service. Fun to watch the pizzas being prepared and cooked in the wood-fired oven too :-)
Gustavo Garcia
Great service and variety of pizza!! I haven't had any problems with the orders, always receiving the pizzas in a reasonable time frame. I'd recommend ordering the Pollo and Mougy pizzas, which are my favorite.

We are new to Wellington so for our second pizza delivery wanted to try something different to the well know chain - searched for “wood fire pizza delivery Wellington” and came across Pomodoro. Good menu choice although short but everyone could find something to order (2 adults + 2 kids). There was no option to add additional ingredients to a margherita but we asked for extra olives and we got them!<br/><br/>It arrived in 40 min as stated on the app but unfortunately pizzas were on a cold side ... Kids didn’t mind but I prefer them hot (as reasonably possible with a delivery). <br/><br/>They didn’t provide us with a menu for next time - strange as we were “new” customers. <br/><br/>But all in all good and will order from them again.

Absolutely delicious & reasonably priced. ordered a couple pizzas for lunch today online and got the Margherita for $10 (online deal) and a Contadina. Definitely recommend trying if you want a change from Tommy’s or Sals.

Each time I go to Goldings, we tend to order a pizza from here. It’s cool, if you order from Goldings they’ll deliver it to you there. No extra charge. They don’t have a specific vegan pizza but you can modify them to be vegan. Proper pizza ovens create light, thin base, fresh toppings. Love it. Perfect match with one of the beers. Staff are friendly and helpful too.

My cousin and I shared a few takeaway pizzas from this place. The menu was pretty small, but the pizzas were all high quality. The one with truffle and mushroom was incredible, and I'd happily make a point of ordering it again if I ever go back Wellington. As a nice surprise, the tiramisu was one of the nicest I've had - not too sweet and not too creamy.
Joneshawker
Pizza so good my vegan friend ate so much of it that my non vegan friend looked at her hatefully -- and still brings it up. Never let me down, not gone let me down.
Miki S
Delicious authentic pizza that you can customize as you like. They use fresh ingredients and arrange your pizza in front of you.<br/><br/>Great service and friendly staff.
Harry Chapman
Excellent thin crust pizza from a place which has been there forever. The only Italian I know likes it so that's a pretty good endorsement. There's only a small area for eating so takeaway recommended
Joeyy Zahary Ginting
Pizza Pomodoro is definitely my favorite pizza in Wellington! <br/><br/>I tried bufalina, which is a normal margherita pizza with additional buffalo mozzarella and carne, which is tomato based with meat toppings. <br/>Both were delicious and crust is crispy. <br/>You have to try their tiramisu, it's a game changer! <br/><br/>
EsmeEats
My absolute favourite pizza in wellington! Although the base is quite soft around the crust, the flavour from the woodfire is incredible. I always get the vegetable pizza with added garlic and no cheese - it doesn't even need it! The tomato base has so much flavour. Super quick home delivery too :)
Miss K
The best pizza in Wellington! <br/><br/>I love how you can get it at Goldings and they'll walk it over for you. <br/><br/>Best crust - so nice and soft! The pizza is quite floppy so I like to roll it up from the centre to the crust and eat it like that. <br/><br/>Def enjoyed best at home in your undies while you watch your tv show of choice. I can't remember what it was called but the one with potato on it is amazing!
Chad Rilcon
I was in Wellington just for the day, I have to say my experience was great. <br/>Staff were great, really friendly and modified our order to our taste with no fuss.<br/>All the facilitates were new and clean.<br/>Pizza was awesome, topping were fresh and the bases perfectly cooked.<br/>If i ever come back to New Zealand I will be back.
Hungover Munch Kid
This is delish pizza. Came in one lunch time with a few friends and got that vegetarian one with the peppers. It's super tasty but you really gotta master the skill of eating it in the proper folded manner. I picked up my first slice like a naive pizza newbie and all the toppings slid off. Why pizza why?!?! Still would order this any day of the week when I just need to chill
Alex Meyer
Best authentic Italian pizza I've had to date! Staff are friendly, atmosphere is awesome and even the chef is Italian! I highly recommend Pomodoro if you love pizza!
Vegetable Man
This is the best pizza in wellington. There is no competition. Who cares that there are only a few tables? You can't eat the tables but you can eat the pizza.

Want quality pizza? go to Pizza Pomodoro. <br/>Having been to Italy and having tried their classic authentic pizza, I have never come across anything like it back home in NZ. Well Pizza Pomodoro is the closest I've come to feeling like I am back in Italy. My favourite is still the good ol' margherita. The staff are super friendly and it's a very chilled out atmosphere. If you're just after some pizza to accompany the weekend drinks, the prices may scare you off, but if you're after quality authentic Italian pizza, this is the place for you.

I am no pizza connoisseur, but I do know when I have had a good pizzawith my favourite toppings. Having been told numerous times to trythis place out, I thought I would give it a go. We ordered onlinewhere the wait for pick up was 40 minutes. That was fine as it wouldtake us approximately 10-15 minutes to drive into town.<br/><br/>We arrived at Pizza Pomodoro where our pizza was still being cooked.where I was thinking great! fresh pizza to go!.<br/><br/>The pizza came in a big box which I quickly ran back to the car openedup the box to get hold of my first slice. I was disappointed when I picked up my first slice. I was expecting the base to hold itself with a little crispness. I was mistaken. It was floppy and the toppings started to slide back down into the box. Ended up having to fold my pizza so I could eat it without the toppings dropping off.<br/><br/>I think if you are going to try this, try to eat it as soon as possible or dine in.<br/>Visit my website for an indepth review

Pricey but definitely worth it!<br/><br/>Best pizza in town.

This place is absolutely amazing! If you are looking for authentic Italian pizza, you must go here. It is hands down the best pizza I have had in years, delicious!<br/>I never knew it existed until yesterday when we stumbled upon Pomodoro and I feel cheated that I have been missing out all this time! <br/>Be careful when you eat here, you will want more and more of this pizza!!!
Tracy
It's a little on the pricey side, but oh-so worth it! Tastes as good as the pizza I used to eat in Italy! I've eaten there 7 times in the past year and had consistently high standard of food.
Brian Gunning
Amazing!!!!! I have just finished eating the delicious pizza we had delivered. <br/>We ordered the pizza/garlic bread, the carne and the paesana i cant pick a favourite. for weeks we have hum and harred about getting a pizza from here but we will never go back to the cheap stuff now. Excellent ingredients the best in Wellington. we only waited 30mins from the time we ordered online until there was a knock on the door. I will be telling all my friends about this place. simply exceptional!!!!!!!

I'm in the process of building a pizza oven at home and its because of places like this that serve delicious authentic wood fired pizza. I call in often for a lunch pizza and never disappointed. Service is good but the location is a bit out of the way. There are limited seats so well suited for takeaway.
Kara I
Absolutely gorgeous woodfired pizza. Have eaten there a number of times over the years and have never been disappointed with any choices.<br/><br/>Hint though - it needs to be eaten piping hot so make sure you either get it delivered or don't have to take it far!
M
Mouth-watering deliciousness! Awesome base, lovely fresh quality toppings with motzarella and fresh basil leaves.
Roger
Moving to Auckland in few weeks and the thing I'll miss the most will be your pizza guys!!! superb pizzas, friendly staff and best tiramisu. My favourite pizza: "sicilliana". Roger

I'm from Italy, travelled NZ for 6 months and desperately looked for a good pizza in every city that I visited, when I found pizza pomodoro I almost cry for the joy!!!! Very good pizzas!!!Bravi!
Hannah
Delicious pizza, and a good range. And yummy desserts. Reasonable delivery fee, and delivered in the time they said they would. Also has eftpos on delivery which is really helpful. Would recommend.
Dan Bowden
Some say Pizza Pomodoro is the best pizza in Wellington, and I'd say you'd be hard pressed to find one better. There's not really anywhere to sit - so take your order across the lane to Golding's (They are happy for you to do this) and grab a pint of craft beer to go with it. Really - you should try this pizza!
