Tomato Cafe

"I really enjoy eating here because of the atmosphere and quality of food. Staff are professional and friendly. Simple, tasty, and relaxed. Mostly vegetarian family and we all find something to enjoy."

"We’ve been loyal customers of this restaurant since they were on Wyoming; going on 20 years now. Followed them to Holly and now to San Pedro. Man, the whole vibe has changed. For the worse. Red haired older woman who’s the manager clearly demands her employees stop customer service at the stroke of one hour before closing. No fresh food emerges from the cooks, servers are only engaged in clean up and busy work for next day. Stale cold pizza, empty bins for green beans and broccoli, and just a sad buffet. When customers show up at the entrance to be seated, they wait and wait to be seated because staff is hiding out or otherwise disinterested in actually seating people. And no one else is in the restaurant except for a few tables. Any one sent to seat the latecomers is greeted with annoyed, tired looks and all this while dirty tables abound! This kind of activity comes from the top. Management should get rid of this so-called manager who always makes sure to feed her face before tending to any tables or customers needing drinks. And she’s particularly annoyed when any customers come in close to closing. That’s bad. Very bad. The two very young guys who make the food are excellent, and they work hard. A couple of servers are reliably excellent, but the rest shouldn’t be in dining and service industry. This restaurant’s pizza USED TO BE HAND TOSSED! That’s what made their crust so delicious. The two Mexican brothers who made the pizza at Holly and Wyoming used to throw the dough high! Nowadays, that dough don’t go. Nowhere. Sad, pathetic demise of a once truly great, thriving business. But if TopDown don’t care, then staff doesn’t either. Skip this joint and head down aways to Scarpa’s!! Wood fire pizza and delicious pasta and salads!!!"

"Outrageous price for mediocre food. I was in high hopes for this place. Taste like high school cafeteria food. Not a big salad selection. No toppings. Pizza was dry, pasta was dry, sauce was watery no seasoning. The best thing was our waitress."

"Tomato Cafe was awesome! I love that place! They are in a new location, about four blocks from the previous restaurant. And the new restaurant has the look and feel of their original place on Academy. If you haven't been lately, you need to go. The food is delicious, the people are great. I believe the new was probably the previous manager. I've seen him there for years. So, there's a lot of continuity there. If I could say only one thing about my experience, it would be that they seem to have returned to their roots. The restaurant layout is very close to the original layout, the menu is the same, and the food is still just as delicious as it was 20 years ago. Go check it out!"
