Pomodori Pizza Mandeville!!

This place is a game changer for the Mandeville area! Thin and crispy with the perfect ratio of cheese to sauce to crust. The pepperoni pizza is topped with dollops of ricotta when it comes out the oven and I gotta tell ya, it's a serious play. I stopped by twice last week and feel that any pizza lover would really enjoy this place. FYI I think they're a couple weeks out on their liquor license..

This sounds like a post the owner would make.
Just a little too excited in your description. LOL

That’s Mr. Nicholas “Dough Fingers” Pomodori himself.

Def not manager owner, just a foodie that lurks on this board. I can handle a little trolling though...

I have to say even though OP is suspect I agree that Ricotta on pizza is the way to go. Pretty darn good on any pizza.

No big deal.
Thanks for the reminder about this place so we can keep it in mind. I'm all about supporting the local places.

Friend,
If that pizza in the video is a Neapolitan pizza, which it looks like it is attempting to be, it needs two things: to be cooked a bit longer and an eater who eats it properly, with a fork and knife. It has a few leopard spots, but it is still undercooked. That pizza clearly is not pizza a portafoglio nor is this New York style, where folding is encouraged.
It appears, though, that the video is from a national Neapolitan chain. The pictures on Pomodori's of Mandeville's Google page appear much better.
Yours,
TulaneLSU

That's not the same Pomodori there.. Too flimsy but I will say that most pizza gets a little flimsy in a box. I believe there are a couple locations across the US. I just looked and the locations across the US are Pomodori Pizzeria, not Pomodori Pizza. I think this place is a Mandeville original.
I recommend eating it there. Leonardos has the same issue with wet and flimsy if you order to-go but much more structured when you eat the pizza at the restaurant.

Friend,
On a 2014 trip to Naples for the purpose of touring its best pizzas, a waiter at Sorbillo taught us an important lesson. Cousin had just folded his pizza, as he would in New York, and had taken several bites. The pizza had lost its beautiful appearance and was a mess. The waiter, whose name I cannot recall at the moment, who was wearing black pants and a white shirt and looked like the cousin of Mark Iacono of Brooklyn, approached and said emphatically, "No! No! No hands." He then showed us the appropriate way to eat Neapolitan pizza: with fork and knife. We were so embarrassed we made sure not to make the same mistake again, and not since have we tried eating Neapolitan style, even when cut with a pizza wheel or mezzaluna, with our hands again.
The Neapolitans are very protective of their pizza and everything about it: the flour, the tomatoes, the cheese, the technique of cooking, the oven, the wood, and yes, how its eaters eat it. The Pizza Hut and Papa John's crowd, and even those who feign a pizza knowledge, may not understand this, but they probably have not been scolded in public by a pizza sentinel. To such, eating their pizza with hands is likely how we view barbarians (or cake eaters) who eat cake with their hands, or someone who enters Galatoire's with a Perlis collared shirt or Commander's with jeans.

Thank you for the explanation. Are there any restaurants in New Orleans serving Neapolitan pizza similar to what you ate in Italy?

Friend,
Ancora and Dominica serve Neapolitan style. The former is decent. The latter, at least the last time I ate there, served some of the worst pizzas I have ever tasted. The best Neapolitan pizza in Louisiana is found at Frank's in Shreveport. I have yet to find any good Neapolitan pizzas on the Mississippi Coast or Mobile, but Angelena's in Pensacola serves an excellent one. None of these approach Naples' finest, but they give you a taste.

FWIW. Ordered two take-outs from there two weeks ago.
The pizza came correctly UNCUT as it should be in an authentic Neopolitan pizza restaurant. They did provide a plastic cutter for those who choose to cut the pizza up and not use the fork knife like they are in Italy. The undercarriage was correctly charred and the pizza was not floppy.
The pepperoni with the fresh Mozza was on point and very, very good. I also ordered the Pauly Gee which was a different take but great also. Not as good as the pepperoni though.
One warning, my to-go pizzas were sitting on the counter when I got there and were cool. They have oven reheating instructions on the box. I didn't care for this. Keep the boxes sitting on the oven or put them under a heat lamp like a real pizza store. I don't have time to reheat a pie when I get home. I want to eat it right then.
I highly recommend the place.
