on Citysearch Aug 22, 2009I'm plenty familiar with a good authentic Italian pizza cooked in an authentic wood burning oven. Unreal how they can serve pizza as soggy as this pizza was. We ordered two pizzas and both were a soggy mess. Do they... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 15, 2009My guest and I were told there would be a 10 minute wait. That wait stretched out to over 1 hour. The hostesses were not apologetic and were actually a bit rude about it. Once we were seated we had to wait another 15 minutes... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 12, 2009My wife and I eat here at least twice a month and enjoy it each and every time we do. The reviews with the comparison to Olive Garden are not only unfair, but clearly show that some people don't know good Italian when they... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 20, 2009I lived in Italy for years and I really miss the pizza. I sought out Il Pizzaiolo because I read that the oven was purchased in Naples (birthplace of pizza) and mozzerella is imported (REAL mozzerella is made from water... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 23, 2008My wife and I USED to eat at Il Pizzaiolo a couple times a year during the warmer months to dine on the patio. At our last visit (9-19-08), the pasta dishes we ordered were on par with Olive Garden. Worse, they were $17 each... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 21, 2008PIZZA DOUGH WAS SOGGY, OVER PRICED SMALL AND NO CHEESE OR VERY LITTLE. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND GO TO MINIEO'S NEXT DOOR. (more)

on Citysearch Jun 24, 2008First time to visit. The pizza topping - cheese, tomatoes and basil were excellent. The crust however was soggy. The waitress insisted on bringing another pizza. It too was soggy. She explained that the type of... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 02, 2008I do not understand how anybody can complain about this restaurant. I am from New York and I own my own restaurant. When I come to Pittsburgh to visit my wife's family, I always make it a point to stop at Pizzaiolo. It is... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 06, 2008As the title states, I'll attempt to keep this short & sweet by stating if you truly know Italian food, this is NOT a place I would recommend. Their so called authentic Italian Pizza toppings were ok, (note, I say only... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 16, 2007All you pizza hut eaters, please stay away and keep your reviews bottled up b/c you SUK, your just another typical old, americanized, angry, lonely yinzer. Sure the prices may be a little steep, but the place is always... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 03, 2007Having read about their Verace Pizza Napoletana certification, we were drawn here in search of authentic neopolitan thin crust pizza. We ordered a classic Margherita, a Formaggi and a Marinara with pepperoni... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2007We arrived at 6:50 with 12 guests, told table would be 15 minutes. At 7:15 ordered a cheese tray to hold us over; they had given away our table to another party. At 8:00 pm we were told another 45 minutes, the party... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 16, 2007I've been to Il Pizzaiolo 6 or 7 times and have tried something different each time. Everything has been superb, particularly the Calzone al Forno, Penne Alla Vodka, and tagliatelle with bolgnese sauce. I suppose... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 10, 2006I have eaten here several times. While the food is always very good, I have to agree that the front room is very loud in the evening (lunch is usually much more relaxed). However, Iast time I ate there we sat in the... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2006My boyfriend and I recently ate at Il Pizzaiolo, and loved it! We went about 9pm so it was not busy what so ever. We ate outside in the courtyard, and it was very romantic. Our server recommended the Penne alla Vodka,... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 27, 2006Ron's done a terrific job adding the wine bar to the engaging courtyard - the whole place now seems like three eateries in one stop - not unlike you might find in Bologna or Verona. The pizza continues to be exceptional -... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 02, 2005What kind if Italian place serves cold bread, and will not accommodate. Sore very low in my book. The Pasta was below average, pasta has no taste. You guys need a new Pizza crust recipe. Step up and give your patrons... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 07, 2004<b>In Short</b><br>This restaurant's neighborhood is upscale, as are most of its customers. On warm nights, the tree-shaded back deck is worth the wait--it's a perfect summer nightspot. Pizzaiolo's kitchen has... (more)

on Citysearch May 29, 2004I have frequented Il Pizzaiolo a few times and their food is superb - very fresh and delicious. My only complaint is the atmosphere - the tables are too close, making the restaurant very loud on a good night. During one... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 29, 2002Another place in Pittsburgh (besides Pizzeria Margherita) that makes authentic Italian Pizza. The Margherita tastes just like it did in Italy. The atmosphere is great and their pastas aren't too bad either... (more)
