We at Pizzaiolo believe that the simple act of feeding people is at the core of what it is to be human. We focus on the ritual of taking life from the world around us and presenting it to you to sustain your own life.

When the day is done, the thinking that seems to matter most is that we are taking part in a web of human interaction. The food you eat at Pizzaiolo is 100% down-home human-made.

Love pizzaiolo so much! The food is amazing and they are always bringing new ideas to the menu. We brought our 3 year old and they were accommodating - there were other families at the restaurant. I wish they did reservations more often!

We went on Valentine’s Day and arrived when they were packed, especially with a lot of walk-in’s. The hostesses handled it really well, we were seated within 15min or so. Service was generally good, but didn’t get a chance to order another drink since the sever didn’t come by very often. Food was excellent. Especially the pappardelle with pork ragu- highly recommend!

food was amazing!! Everything was perfection. My only complaint was that our server seemed peeved that we’re weren’t ordering alcohol and was pretty short & none present after that. Which in 2024 is pretty lame. We ordered 5 dishes and dessert. But again food was delicious- especially the chicken!

Pizzaiolo has never cared about customer comfort. The lightning is so dim you need your iPhone flashlight, the music volume is set above conversation level, the seats are uncomfortable and the place was boiling hot with little ventilation. Most of the food was very good but they sent out an underdone pizza, which we sent back. If you’re older, Pizzaiolo is an unfriendly venue. But most of the crowd is young and, frankly, will take whatever punishment the restaurant gives them. You know, cause it’s so, so hip.
