Pomodorino: Pizza by the Meter, Telling a Story

Some shops don’t need a large display window. Pomodorino is a narrow little shop in Friedrichshain, but it has far more to offer than one might expect from the outside. Behind the concept are owners Gerardo Amendola and Marcello Calenda, both from Southern Italy, who combine freshly baked dough with delicious toppings, reflecting their own heritage. Pomodorino opened in March 2010 and has since been serving daily fresh pizzas by the meter. This is not a marketing promise, but a store principle that has been consistently upheld for over a decade.

Pomodorino specializes in long focaccia pizzas, which are freshly baked daily and topped with high-quality, carefully selected ingredients. The selection goes far beyond classics. In addition to pizzas with ham and mushrooms, there are unusual variations, for example with eggplant or potato. Those with a sweet tooth will also find what they’re looking for: sweet pizzas are also on the menu, such as with Nutella and white chocolate or with ricotta and honey.

Slice to go or Take a Seat, Both Work

Pomodorino approaches pizza eating in a relaxed way. Pizzas can be enjoyed either by the slice from the counter or, for the truly hungry, classically as a whole piece. If you want to enjoy the sun: Of course, you can also get a slice to go and enjoy it in the nearby Petersberger Platz while observing the lively hustle and bustle there. It’s also worth looking beyond the pizza: in addition to pizza, there are daily fresh Italian salads, homemade lasagna, and homemade desserts. Those who are also mindful of the price should be pleasantly surprised.
