Everything is good except the wooden chairs are very hard on my buttocks, hope the restaurant will be able to restock some more comfortable chairs!

No line, nobody waiting, many open tables inside and out. We walked up and put our names on the list. We were told there was a wait. We agree to wait. We were then told we could get a high table, I said I prefer a low table. We were told either take the high table or no service. A group of roughly 8 people walked out while we were given our option, more Available tables. The funny thing is their website let's you book a reservation. Available reservations were shown 10 minutes earlier than we were offered by the hostess. We were obviously not welcome. I didn't realize that the restaurant was so high scale and possibly invite only. I will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Food was amazing as usual. But what absolutely ruined the evening was the fruit flies. Nonstop fruit flies. When I mentioned it to the waitress she said,” ya it’s because the bruschetta and the wine” “the owner is sitting over there you should tell him, we can’t say anything to him”. Myself, being an owner of a food manufacturing company, and a certified food safety manager, I told her it is absolutely her job to tell the owner as well as management of the problem. Then she said, “well ya, they are really bad right now. They are even worse in the kitchen. I use green goblin at home and it gets rid of them right away” when I asked why she doesn’t mention that to management or the owner, she shrugged me off and quickly hurried away to the next table. That’s neglect and laziness, and can get people very sick. I won’t be eating here again. Such a shame, have been going there for well over a decade. This is purely poor management and even worse owner responsibility to their customers, their community, and to staff. A $30 bottle of fruit fly killer will fix this problem for the season. Pure negligence. Will be report it to SBC health inspector, who i have a great working relationship with.

Happy 30th Anniversary, PZ! 🥂🍾 Pizzaioli has been our go-to for family celebrations and will continue to be for many years. It's the service and great food that will keep us coming back.

First Visit to Pizzaioli Italian Restaurant This was our first time at Pizzaioli, and the experience was great. The service was excellent—thank you to Nichole for taking such good care of us. We had the chicken tortellini pasta, which was very flavorful. We’ll definitely be back!
Traditional Italian cuisine at its finest!!!! Loved it!

Nice local restaurant with a good bar. Beautiful TV set up but the management should be aware of what is available for viewing especially during various play offs. I’ll be back.

Pizzaioli – A Hidden Gem That Serves With Heart Rating: ★★★★★
From the first bite to the final forkful of dessert, our evening at Pizzaioli was nothing short of exceptional. While the food certainly impressed, it was the impeccable service that elevated the entire experience to a level worthy of recognition.
Our server, Cynthia, delivered Michelin-worthy hospitality. She went above and beyond in every possible way—welcoming us with genuine warmth, anticipating our needs before we even voiced them, and addressing the smallest details with care and precision. There was a quiet grace in how she managed the table, effortlessly navigating timing, requests, and even minor hiccups with calm professionalism. Her attentiveness never felt intrusive—just right. That kind of intuitive service is rare and absolutely unforgettable.
The meal itself was a showcase of bold, authentic flavors: • Bruschetta – A beautifully balanced starter. Crunchy toast with vibrant tomatoes, fresh basil, and a delicate drizzle of balsamic reduction. Simple ingredients elevated through execution. • Meatball Sandwich – Rustic and satisfying. The meatballs were tender and full of depth, complemented by a perfectly toasted roll and melted cheese that brought it all together. • Kids Chicken Alfredo – Creamy and comforting, with moist grilled chicken and pasta that held up to a rich, velvety sauce. Generous, flavorful, and kid-approved. • Frutti di Mare – A standout entrée. The seafood was expertly prepared—nothing overcooked, everything fresh. Each bite was a tribute to coastal Italian cuisine, harmonized by a light garlic white wine sauce. • Genovese Salad – A crisp, refreshing palate cleanser with bold pesto dressing. Bright, herbaceous, and memorable. • Chocolate Cake – A decadent finale. Moist, rich, and intensely chocolatey without being overly sweet. We ordered an extra slice because one just wasn’t enough.
Final Notes: Pizzaioli is more than a neighborhood Italian restaurant—it’s a place where food and hospitality meet with intention. The kitchen delivers flavor and care, but it’s Cynthia’s service that made this a five-star experience. Her attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made us feel not like customers, but honored guests.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking not just a meal, but a truly memorable dining experience.

Good food overall. Chicken Marsala was spot on. Ciopinno had good flavor but too salty for our taste (we don’t use much salt). Has outdoor seating for our dogs. Good selection of wine. Worth recommending.

Good people. Great food!! Will do it again. Busy to show that it is worth going - but not too busy to turn you away.
