If you find yourself in Sterling, VA, and craving an authentic Italian experience, look no further than Pomodoro Restaurant. Nestled in the Dulles Eastern Plaza, this charming eatery serves up culinary delights that transport you straight to Italy, all while maintaining a cozy and inviting atmosphere.

Pomodoro specializes in classic Italian cuisine, and their gourmet pizzas are nothing short of extraordinary. Picture a large, hot Chicken Mediterranean Pizza, topped with succulent chicken, mozzarella cheese, and a sprinkle of feta that encapsulates the flavors of the Mediterranean. Or dive into a White Pizza featuring ricotta and mozzarella cheeses enriched with garlic, fresh broccoli, and ripe tomatoes—each bite is a harmonious blend of creaminess and freshness.

The Margherita Pizza is a must-try, showcasing a simple yet delightful combination of fragrant basil, juicy fresh tomatoes, and mouthwatering mozzarella drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. And let's not forget the Meat Lover’s Pizza, a hearty selection of sausage, pepperoni, hamburger, and ham, all melted together under a blanket of mozzarella cheese — truly a feast for the senses.

Beyond pizzas, Pomodoro's hot subs like the Chicken Parmigiana and Cheese Steak Hoagie are equally tantalizing. Guests rave about the fresh breaded chicken smothered in tomato sauce and melted mozzarella that makes the Chicken Parmigiana a comforting choice, while the Cheese Steak Hoagie, piled high with seasoned steak and melted cheese, is both satisfying and flavorful.

The reviews from satisfied customers echo the restaurant’s commitment to quality and authentic flavors. Zac Crigler notes, "Food is excellent," highlighting the fresh and flavorful offerings that consistently leave patrons coming back for more. Michael Schlesinger shares a sentiment echoed by many: “Delicious real pizza which is hard to find in the DC area!!!!” The atmosphere, nestled within a seemingly ordinary strip mall, provides a warm and inviting retreat where you can savor your meal while enjoying the attentive service from the friendly Italian owner.

Mike Hoyer captures the essence of dining at Pomodoro perfectly, stating, "The bruschetta is to die for," and recommending enjoying a glass of Pinot Grigio on their outdoor patio—a lovely escape that complements the vibrant flavors of the dishes. From the expertly prepared vegetable soup to pizza crusts that leave a lasting impression, you'll find that each dish at Pomodoro is crafted with care and authenticity.

For an unforgettable dining experience, be sure to stop by Pomodoro Restaurant. Whether you're looking for a casual night out or a special occasion meal, this local gem promises generous portions and a delightful escape into truly traditional Italian cuisine.

Food is excellent. Always get a large cheese pizza and do yourself a favor…enjoy it hot and fresh! The owner is very attentive and friendly. Authentic Italian guy, serving authentic Italian dishes.

Delicious - real - pizza which is hard to find in the DC area!!!! Have a try. The pasta was al dente and sauce was authentic. Very nice. Lovely atmosphere nestled in an otherwise ordinary strip mall.

Molto bene. The bruschetta is to die for. Relax with a glass of Pinot Grigio on the outdoor patio. Espresso available after your meal for a little pick me up.

My daughter even said this was the best crust on the pizza she's had. The cheese bread sticks were so light they almost tasted like a cheese covered pastry! I ordered the vegetable soup and it was heat hot, but so good to warm the system I took it home and am eating now!.

Delicious food with excellent service. Owned and managed by Italian born and raised. Very personable management! We came in after 6:30 PM for dinner. Our wait for appetizers followed by our salads, then main dishes was perfectly timed. Our dishes were overly generous portions, which we ended up taking home leftovers to store for another night. • Update: 1/28/2023, Sat It's been a few years since I've been here. The food is as excellent as we remember. Still generous portions! Warm, friendly staff! • I was graciously accommodated with a special "build-my-own" pasta dish: basically, Pollo Rigolino dished but swapped angel hair in place of rigatoni, added peas & broccoli. As usual, had to box up leftovers to enjoy at home. • My husband ordered Penne Arrabiata. He finished the dish pretty clean!

A wonderful little Italian restaurant near Dulles Town Center in Sterling. Excellent service, delicious food, attentive staff. Our dishes came with generous portions. New York style pizza is great. Recommended

Delicious New York style thin crust pizza. It's not a seen-a-thousand-times chain. The place has it's own personality - like an actual person designed it from their own ideas, rather than from a marketing and branding strategy. I eat there every time I'm in the area.
