Pizzaiolo is a consistently solid Italian spot known for its good pizza, pasta, drinks, and appetizers. It has been a favorite restaurant in the Bay Area for over 20 years, making it the go-to place for friends visiting or anyone looking for an awesome meal. While the service can be a bit slow at times, the staff remains attentive and accommodating. Guests enjoy a nice selection of reasonably priced wines and delightful dishes like PZ salad, chicken milanese, ciopino, and canolies. The margarita pizza, with its thin crust and just the right amount of cheese, is a highlight. The Tuesday half-off bottles special is a great deal, and the house red wine is solid. The restaurant has a rotating seasonal menu, and the bolognese is often mentioned as a must-try dish. Families and friends will find this restaurant perfect for casual dinners, especially during happy hour when the atmosphere is lively. The focaccia, burrata, and prosciutto plate are delicious, and the green goddess dressing on salads is excellent. Pizzaiolo offers both indoor booths and tables, as well as outdoor seating, making it a great choice for a flavorful meal. The restaurant is known for its wood oven, open kitchen, and vibrant vibe. It provides a delightful first-time experience with excellent food and customer service, making it one of the favorite spots in Oakland.
