After trying this pizza house a year ago, we just can’t go anywhere else. Nothing compares to their quality, crisp thin crust and fresh ingredients. Beyond superb. This pizza sets a high bar no one else has been able to match IMHO. A memorable food experience. The best. Ever.

Full disclosure: I’ve never even set foot in here, but the pizza we ordered blew my mind! We got a simple family-size thin crust sausage and green pepper pizza one night and it was tastier than any pizza take-out I’ve had since l lived in the city nine years ago. My family went to pick it up and spoke to the owners for a bit, had nothing but wonderful things to say about them. I can’t wait to try some other items on the menu. And let it be known: the price is right. In fact, considering how tasty this pizza was, it’s a steal!

I truly believed I no longer liked pizza until I tried this 5 star diamond in St. Charles! My friend and I shared the Artisan Salmone Pizza {Smoked Salmon in a rich creamy pink sauce topped with Fresh Mozzarella}. Ok, we both enjoyed every sultry delicious bite… it was over the top fricken fabulous! My children swallowed down a half cheese/half pepperoni and sausage pizza, which is rare for them. Huge thumbs up from them as well. Will be ordering again very soon!

I finally found a pizza place that meets my insanely high standards. After going there a few times and meeting the owners I can see why. They are real Italians and real home grown chefs. They value quality ingredients and make everything from scratch. The artisan pizzas are my favorite. Some of the best pizza crust I have ever had. My husband loves the deep dish and their toppings are all better than any place around! My bad pizza days are over! I come only here any time I need a fix.

I’ve been meaning to review this place because it’s really good! We’ve ordered about 4 times and have been really happy with the food. We haven’t done delivery, just called to pick-up. The nice thing is it’s a family business and the food tastes fresh. Definitely a go-to take-out restaurant spot in my book. For pizza — we’ve only had their thin crust, sausage & green peppers. Pizza is very good! Charlie Fox’s is the only other place that we like and this is very similar. One thing I liked even better is that the green peppers are roasted a bit, so they have a little char and I love that. They have a coupon on their website menu for a 14″ pizza for $ 9.99 with one topping.(Normal up-charge for any additional toppings) That’s a good deal! We’ve also tried their Chicken Parmigiana sandwich, which was really good. We loved the bread. Crusty, but soft and airy on the inside. Seems like they bake it there and it’s really yummy! I highly recommend the Arancini Rice Balls — one ball comes per order with marinara sauce. They are delicious! And we’ve had the Insalata Greco Romana. The last couple times — we added grilled chicken and we like it that way. It’s not a ton of chicken — but they only charge $ 2.50 for it. The last 2 times we’ve just ordered a double order of the Rice Balls with the Insalata Greco Romana(add grilled chicken) and it was a perfect dinner. Looking forward to trying some other things on the menu. Give this place a shot — I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

Stuffed pizza wasn’t stuffed and the thin pizza had very little cheese on it and was cooked to long. Crust was very hard. Won’t be going there again.

Delicious, authentic Italian food! We ordered the grilled octopus; it was perfect and smoky, just as I like it. The fried mozzarella sticks had a unique batter on them, and were delivered piping hot(something most other places manage to screw up). As recommended here on Unilocal,we ordered one of the artisan pizzas, the Quattro Gusti. It was outstanding. I’m not sure about some of the fuss about the crust being overcooked; it had a lovely slight char that we thought made the pizza. The ONLY reason I didn’t give Pomodoro E Mozzarella five stars is because when it was delivered, the center of the pie was completely soggy, making it difficult to eat or even pick up. Perhaps the center was rolled just a little too thin, but we won’t let that stop us from coming to this place again. Neither should you. I think it was an isolated incident.

We had an excellent experience with Pomodoro E Mozzarella when we ordered a large amount of pizza for a student council event. We ordered several pizzas, and they were super hot and delicious upon delivery. Delivery arrived exactly at the time they said it would, which I love in a delivery service. The pizzas we ordered were artisan– and they were absolutely perfect– I love when pizza places use all fresh ingredients on their pizzas. I will definitely order from this place again when I am in the area– timely, delicious, and a fair price.

My wife and I ate in two nights ago, they have added a few table. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better — it does. The Hawaiian Pizza was great. Crisp crust and the proper balance of sweet, salty, and cheesy goodness. My wife and I also shared the Tortellini Alla Panna. Eating this dish in house definitely elevates it to greatness(anything with a cream sauce is always better fresh and hot) — glad we listened to the owner and ate this on premise. The home made bread is to die for. Not only is the food great, but the owner and his wife(locally-owned, family business) are really nice people who care about their business and their customers. We will definitely continue support this neighborhood gem.

Really good specialty pizzas! The crust was great and the toppings were generous. We got the wrong toppings on one and didn’t realize this until we got home, so you might want to double-check your pie before you leave, but other than that, it was great. Owners were very nice and had good personalities. We’ll be back to try non-pizza offerings, which sound great and appear to all be home-made. Oh — and the arrancini were some of the best we’ve ever had!

Yum! Pizza, arancini, and chicken Parmesan were all very good. Tiramisu wasn’t bad either! Owner and staff are super nice. We waited a little for a meal we were picking up and the owner insisted I help myself to a drink from their cooler. Very sweet!

five stars. fantastic, great service. Ordered twice in one week. The Marghareta pizza and gnochi are knock-out good.

It’s a small store in a strip mall, but the atmosphere is great, like you’re in their kitchen. Nothing too fancy, just good stinkin Italian food

This is the absolute best Italian food you’ll find in this price range. There are a few better places for Italian food but you’ll easily pay double what Pomodoro charges. This is mostly a take-out restaurant, but there is a little counter to eat at if you’d like to stay and eat. Now, good Italian food is simple and gets it’s flavor from good ingredients. These guys deliver on that. The sauces are excellent and the pastas are always done perfectly — not overcooked like 90% of the places around here. Their pizzas are seriously fantastic. This is definitely a place where you’ll do well being a little adventurous with your order. For the love of God, quit ordering spaghetti and try something new. The couple that runs this place are great. Super nice people. The food isn’t pretentious at all, it’s honest and really good. The best part about this is that right next door is Muscle Maker grill… all the gym bros from XSport around the corner have been trying to get swole eating bad chicken next door and have no idea how much better they’ll do if they just got some chicken and pasta after their workout. Makes me laugh every time…

We ordered from Pomodoro E Mozzarella a few days ago and enjoyed the pizza. The staff was friendly, and the service/time to pickup was prompt. Their prices are great as well taking into consideration the free smaller pizza with purchase of a larger one. We didn’t order the artisan style pizza which seems to have better feedback than the regular pizza. The regular pizza was good, but perhaps could have used more sauce. Overall experience was moderately impressive; Pomodoro E Mozzarella is in my top 3 or 4 pizza joints in the area. We weren’t blown away like the reviews suggest, however, so I’d suggest going more with the consensus and ordering the artisan. That’s what we plan on doing if we order again.

We were in town for a triathlon and the kids wanted pasta. Decided to give this place a try based on other reviews. The owners were so friendly I felt like I was part of the family. When the other patrons started talking in Italian, I knew this was the real deal. Everything was delicious! I can’t wait to come back and try something else! Five stars for food & five stars for family atmosphere!!! Bravo!

Probably not the best place for large groups. They have a couple of tables, few chairs, a vending machine and a TV. Not your typical sit-in pizza restaurant, it almost feels like one of those college town pizza-by-the-slice places. So here’s why you and anyone you care about should still very much care about this place. This will be the best Margherita pizza west of Three Aces on Taylor Street. Really, this artisan crust beats Three Aces for its crunch and flavor; and that is serious praise. These guys are from the land of Ferrari and it shows. Not just because they were speaking in Italian through and through. There is a certain passion to the pizza you don’t get elsewhere in these parts. Rumor is, they make their own mozzarella fresh everyday– I think this is true, you can taste the fresh. The pic is of the toasted ravioli– a thousand words. Making this a monthly routine. How can food this good ever be bad for you?

Excellent pizza, great salads, and the chicken parmigiana is out of this world! The meatball sandwich was HUGE. They’re not real busy right now, so you get very personal attention to your order. I highly recommend checking this place out. Not a lot of seating, but they have some counter seats and a couple tables. We alway pick it up or get it delivered.

So yet another pizza place opens in the Chicagoland area… shocker. But this place has some promise. The sausage on the pizza seems to be actual crumbled Italian sausage and it’s perfectly spicy and tasty. Not hot, just perfectly spiced like Italian sausage should be. The sauce is really good and the«artisan crust» is a must have. BUT I’ve had them three times now and the pizzas are always overlooked. Too bad because flavors actually disappear when you overtook a pizza. They need to watch the clock and cut it down a couple minutes for sure! The calamari had a great texture and was very flavorful. It’s fried, but not crispy. So that should be looked at as well. This could be in the top 2 or 3 pizza spots in the suburbs if only they tighten up the kitchen: fry your calamari longer and bake the pizzas less. I give 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 because I’m generous and because this place shows promise.
