Pomodori's Pizzeria, Cincinnati

These days, many pizzerias are anxious to talk up their wood-fired pizza ovens. But the McLane family has been baking their authentic Italian pizzas that way since 1984, and letting the results speak for themselves. Of course, they wouldn't stop others from piling on the praise, like reviewers from Impulcity who declared it one of the 7 Most Underrated Pizza Spots in Cincinnati.

When it comes to making Pomodori's pizzas great, that wood-fired oven goes a long way, but it isn't the only factor. Chefs also top each pie with high-quality imported cheeses and ingredients that range from shrimp, asparagus, and roasted red pepper to sliced turkish figs and prosciutto. That same attention to detail goes into the rest of the offers on the menu, which include handmade pastas, classic Italian subs, and desserts like tiramisu.
