    Came here for a lunch meeting - which I had thought was a bit of a strange choice as it's definitely on the heavier side but the person we met with said he knew the owner. It was heavy because of what we ordered but was absolutely phenomenal. We ordered two pizzas which were great. We ordered the pasta, which I accidentally basically scooped entirely on my plate, which was also good. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area

    We dined at Il Pizzaiolo this evening, and everything was perfection. From the wines to the appetizer and main dishes, the dinner was delicious. The Ricotta al Forno was wonderfully tasty, and we could have made a meal of that! Our entrees, Chicken Parmigiano and Shrimp and Lobster Scampi were full of flavor. Everyone was friendly, and the service was good. The ambience and decor are beautiful. We will definitely be returning, and we highly recommend!

    I love Il Pizzaiolo. I truly think they have the best pizza in the city. The sauce is delicious and their mozzarella is homemade. It's SO GOOD. I definitely think you need to order a pizza if you come here. We also got pizza bread and caprese salad - both were delicious!! My only complaint is the mussels. It's one of my favorite foods and i've had sooo many amazing mussels. These were very fishy tasting, and the sauce was super thin and honestly not very flavorful. I don't recommend the mussels. But everything else i've ever had here has been delicious!!

    My husband and I have been here twice in the last 2 years. We mainly go here for the pizza, so that's the bulk of the food critique. We made a reservation for the wine bar on a Friday evening. That was a mistake. SO flipping loud. Our server was lovely and when she came to give us water, I asked if they put more tables in this space and she said yes. That's just a sure sign of greed IMO. Forsake the experience just to squeeze more tables into an already small room; not a great move. I had the Calabrese and my husband had the New York and added pepperoni. Both were delicious, but the NY got soggy in the middle. Besides that, fantastic. However, the price of a pizza is more like D.C. and not Pittsburgh. For those prices, it should be flawless. We both also had a glass of the Gragnano Cantine; their "pizza wine". Generous pour and delicious! We walked out the door with a bottle of their homemade Limoncello and a couple pieces of lemon cake. I would agree with other reviews that they could really up the ante in the ambiance category. Nothing to really write home about with that.
