I agree with your opinion of Pomodoro.. everyone I know love it there but I have been there 3 or 4 times (unfortunately my kids love it) and have never enjoyed anything I have eaten. I recently ate pizza at the Bambu bar and it was the best pizza I have had yet in the DR!!

Best Pizza in Cabarete
That is so funny. Once I tried using tomatoe paste rather than pizza sauce on a homemade pizza and pizza officianado that my son is knew right away and occasionally reminds of that time.(lol)
Where exactly is this ketchup pizza parlour?
The only thing Ive found vaguely resembling NY style pizza, is in the Capital...but for brick-oven, super thin crusted Italy style pizza...try Pizza Via. Just don't get the shrimp pizza.. (I know, I know...it wasn't for me) It was horrible... they put the shrimps with PEEL ON onto the pizza before cooking...it was inedible in several ways...plus their idea of a veggie pizza was onions and lettuce! That being said, the standard pizzas are cheap and delicious, and the dipping sauces are GREAT!
Cabarete Pizza
There is something about Dominican pizza that is less desireable than North American pizza regardless of where you go I find. I could be wrong but I think it's the cheese used. I think it's goat cheese but not 100% sure. When you buy the N A cheese in the supermarkets, you pay big. The local place family owned near us in Canada has the best pizza for miles. If that quality hit Cabarete, there would be traffic jams! I will try this Pizza Via upon returning.
Good luck,
Steve

I've had pizza at Pomodoro, and thought it was pretty good. I'm not that crazy about the cheese they have in the DR though, it doesn't match up to what's available in America.
There's a pizza place in Sosua that we'd order from. That... was the best pizza I've had in my life (and I'm from just outside NY, so that statement means alot). I don't know the name of the place though, but... it's def. in my top 10.

Best Pizza
O.k, I just came back after a 1 week stay and I went to Pizza Via and thought it was great! The odd thing is none of the locals seem to like it though. The loud yelling Italian guy is quite entertaining and the female owner from France is nice to look at too.
We went to Sosua to a place called Avalon Restaurant & Pizzaria and the pizza was awesome! I think it was better than Pizza Via but without the fun atmosphere. I didn't pay attention to the price.
Just remember that Pizza Via is on the same side of the road as Janet's, just west of Janet's. An earlier post by Sky stated across the road which most of us would think it's a north south crossing and it is not.
Enjoy!

Was'nt all that impressed
I must admit I was not at all impressed with Palmadero's pizza as I was there Jan. And I am moving back to the DR in march. But let me tell you the best and I mean GREATEST pizza is at a place beside a small hotel called Casa Blanca, its on the east side of Cabarete near the casino, on the beach side of the road... There is a fire/log fed brick oven and a French guy there that makes one the greatest pizza's I have ever had... the atmosphere is great, the wine is good the service is fast, fresh friendly and the prices are outstanding!
Bar none the best ZAAAAA I had in the DR!

I thought the same as you Dave but I guess I was lazy in responding. I think it's got to be the same place. What are the odds of 2 pizza joints in the same area cooking with that wood stove?
Check out Avalon in Sosua though, it didn't look like much but was super tasty!

Steve - where is Avalon? I had pizza the other night at a relatively new place next to Jolly Roger in Sosua... The name had something to do with La Vaca (the cow)... the pizza was awesome...the most "traditional/US style" pizza Ive had in a while...it was kind of expensive though...
"Ooo La Vache" is the name, right next door to Britania Pub in Sosua.
Their Pizza is outstanding, on par with Patsy's Pizza in NYC.
tambo'
yep that's it...but... I dont know about the Patsy's reference... I lived a couple blocks from there (the Third Ave. version) and ate there all the time...
