  • Love the full wall mural of a of Napoli street scene when you walk in ... but can't say the same for the pizza. I tried a simple Margherita pizza and was disappointed, and man I wanted this to be the real thing. APN & VPN certified it may be, but quite simply ... it's missing the magic. Having been to Napoli, I have to call B.S. on all the people who say they tasted the real thing and claim this an authentic tasting Napoli pizza. Yes they have an authentic wood fried pizza oven, experienced real Italian pizza chef's, hand formed Italian flour dough, but somehow the taste is ... off! Perhaps its just "a matter of a few degree's" but that's all it takes with simple ingredients. First off the sauce tastes of canned San Marzano tomatoes with no seasoning. In Napoli they use vine ripened locally grown tomatoes and "fresh" olive oil. (Ok so thats a huge difference) I suspect the use of canned tomatoes is the reason the pizza is soggy in the center, I never had a soggy centered pizza anywhere in Italy. The crust does not bubble up like it does in Italy, and it lacks the crispy bottom to chewy center that is the hallmark of all great pizza's. Finally the cheese & basil is nothing more than OK. Put it all together and the Pizza just tastes boring with a slight burnt taste that hangs with you even after desert. In Italy these same simple ingredients create a symphony off taste that explodes on your palate, hangs with for hours, and makes you crave even more. We also tried the Gnocchi, also a simple recipe, with a slightly better 3 star taste. However not good enough to make me return, I like Tutti Santi's handmade Gnocchi better, try them both and you decide. The only truly authentic "Italian Style" pizza I found in Phoenix is uptown at Pino's Pizza, of coarse it's not on the menu. While their standard menu Margherita pizza still knocks the socks of Pomo's APN, VPN certified pies. If you're jonesing for "the real thing", and are up for an adventure ... head uptown some evening and ask to speak to Pino, politely request he make you a "Italian Style" Margherita pizza. You'll be glad you did! "Buon appetito"
