Everything on the menu has been engineered to hold up well in transit, from the aforementioned pizzas to the meatballs, mozzarella sticks, and the chicken wings in flavors like cacio e pepe and applewood smoked pepper barbecue." - Erika Adams

"Johnny Pomodoro is an Italian counter-service spot that started as a pandemic takeout idea from fine dining alum Johnny Burke, located at 297 Main Street, Charlestown. The restaurant specializes in Detroit-style pizzas known for their rectangular shape and thick, spongy dough. The menu also includes meatballs, mozzarella sticks, wings, subs, and salads, all designed for takeout. The restaurant is takeout and delivery only, with no sit-down service available. It is open six days a week from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and will expand to seven days starting January 23." - Erika Adams

Shared this pie with someone that isn't GF and they had no clue. The crust was thick and crispy, but not heavy. As Portnoy would say a Detroit style has to be like an offensive lineman, look intimidating but shockingly light on its feet and this pizza is just that. Toppings were pretty loaded and the pulled chicken is a much appreciated touch over the typical chunks you get. It easily allowed every bite to have every topping. The edges were insane, with the crispy cheese acting as a glass shattering and delicious border to the pie. I will 100% be back to try their other pies cause damn this was next level

Service was pretty standard, nothing special and nothing bad about it. The food was pretty good, the pepperoni slice had a slight hint of sweetness to it and there was a good amount of pepperoni's too. On the other hand, the Uncle Johnny special was not so good. The chicken on top was old and didn't taste very pleasant, and the pizza dough itself wasn't cooked all the way through, there was a layer of uncooked dough underneath the cheese.

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 accordingly.

Came to an empty shop for a quick lunch: chicken parm sandwich (wanted an eggplant parm, but only eggplant pizza was available which is strange because ingredients in a restaurant are generally multi-dish). Service was as expected. Sandwich was generally well built, good bread, good size ($18 may be a bit steep, but there was plenty of meat) , right amount of cheese and not too heavy on the sauce. Two unexpected negatives stood out: low salt and chicken was too cool for a sandwich. The low salt is very unusual, I feel like the cheese was changed and sauce never adjusted (and I am not one of those eating a bag of chips before the sandwich). Cool chicken (colder than what you would expect from a dense parm sandwich) after 5 minutes in a bag is very strange. Sauce was warmer.

When this first opened, we really enjoyed the pizza and subs as well as the chicken tenders with barbecue and ranch sauce. The last couple of times we’ve gotten pizza its been way overcooked and burnt to the point where we can’t eat it and it’s difficult to try to give them another chance as it’s very hit or miss lately.

Johnny Pomodoro is a must-try! The chicken cutlets were crispy, flavorful, and a big hit with the kids too. I had the Caesar pizza, which was unique and absolutely delicious. And don’t skip the cookies! Great food all around!

Cheese slice was good but the dough felt raw and undercooked. The pepperoni slice was sweet - which made it repulsive and I couldn’t finish it. Honey, agave or whatever it is does not belong on pizza.

Iv lives in the area for about a year and a half now, and i just discovered this place for the first time randomly on Door dash. It was a short drive away, so I decided to come through for lunch. Im a huge fan of Detroit style pizza, and so, I had to try the pepperoni. It was delicious. Def the best Detroit style iv had in the area. Will def be back to try that 3 way roast beef sub and cheesesteak. I'm trying to lose weight over here, and y'all just made it that much more difficult 🤣 Kudo's!
