About Pizzeria Cardamomo
Is Pizzeria Cardamomo worth considering in Redwood City? It can be if the venue is in Redwood City, lists a business casual dress code, is closed on Monday, is open Tuesday through Sunday with daytime and evening hours on most days.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Pizzeria Cardamomo presents a neighborhood-minded but decidedly modern take on pizza. The name itself telegraphs a spice-forward personality—cardamom—which the copy connects to baking traditions from the Levant, Scandinavia and the Indian subcontinent. That editorial stance places the kitchen apart from routine Neapolitan or New York references and signals a place that prizes curiosity and layering of flavor. Located on Redwood City's Broadway corridor amid independent, ambitious operators, the restaurant reads as a food-focused, slightly trendy spot with a charming, discovery quality rather than a generic local pizza joint.
Best For
This is a good pick for people who want a relaxed neighborhood meal with a culinary twist—think casual hangouts, date nights and family dinners where the menu is part of the conversation. The write-up situates the pizzeria among other independent dining destinations on Broadway, so it works as an evening stop after exploring the strip or as a laid-back midday option. Because the kitchen asks diners to follow its spice and flavor references, it particularly rewards groups who enjoy sharing plates and trying several signature pies together.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the kitchen's point of view: try items that showcase the house's uncommon references. The signature list—Mortadella Pistachio, Sarika, Moroccan pizza, Arancini Cacio e Pepe and Carbonara pizza—maps a clear path to the restaurant’s flavor priorities. Order a couple of pies to share so everyone can sample the more unconventional combinations, and include the arancini as a starch-forward starter. The menu is presented as a document that reflects the kitchen’s thinking, so allow the kitchen’s spice-forward approach (cardamom and other pantry influences) to guide your choices rather than defaulting to safe, familiar toppings.
