Pizza sizes are insanely small! We laughed when we opened the box. It looked like a personal pizza. They also forgot our add-on of arugula. At least the pizza tasted good!

The topping combos were interesting and good in general, but the pizza was atrocious. We ordered our pizzas extra crispy and they came out completely soggy, as if they had been dunked in water. It was not bc the pizza was not cooked, it was bc they were placed on a ceramic plate after being in the wood oven. This caused the steam from the cooked pizza to make the crust so soggy they were about to disintegrate. Service was also lackluster as were our starters (meatballs and arancini). We’ve eaten here before and it was much better, but now we will not return.

Amazing pizza

The food is absolutely fantastic. Best pizza I’ve ever eaten. However, the last time I dined, the service was uncomfortably rushed from the moment we were seated. Dishes were being stripped away from us while we were still bringing food to our mouth. Our appetizers were cleared as we were reaching for food from the plate. Unconscionable! I will think twice before I bring guests here again, it was that bad. I would say that maybe the restaurant had our table for 4 reserved for another party, but as long as we were there, we saw at least one available table so why was this service so aggressive?

Damn good pizza. Crust is definitely a bomb ending. It's the kind of pie you share with another and enjoy the creative toppings combinations. Under needs a little more crisp but whatever. Really good, go enjoy.

One of my favorite spots to eat in Boulder. The pizza is delish and the staff are great. Highly recommend!

My experience is definitely clouded by the fact that it's previous incarnation (Pizzeria Locale) was perhaps my favorite restaurant in Boulder. Alberico is similar...but the pizza wasn't as good (the crust seems thicker, a big chunk of buffalo mozz was literally plopped cold in the middle of the pizza, the calabrian chili oil was a little watery and not as flavorful) and the service was meh. I felt like the waiter was annoyed I was there. The overall vibe/crowd was OK. If I had never been to Locale I'd give it a 4, so my 3 is exclusively about this being a pale imitation of the amazing place Locale was.

Good quality pizza and ingredients. Drink menu limited and they were out of the ingredients to make 2 of the drink specials. Disappointing.

My grandson is gluten free. His pizza was delicious. As was the tiramisu. Wait staff was pleasant >

Great service & delish food! Great place to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday!
Had high expectations for this spot. Welcoming vibe and warm feeling felt immediately upon arrival by both host, server and Manager. Unfortunately, all the food needed seasoning and salt. Most annoying was the front entrance door that would bang shut (loudly) upon closing. Overall a good experience, though sadly the food was disappointing.

Only small issue was slow service getting a drink at the bar whilst waiting for our table to be ready. Food was delicious and table service was very attentive. Expensive but worth it.

This transferred from a Bobby Stuckey establishment. Everyone was very gracious. The service was a little off. Lots of staff walking about but a lot of attention to detail was lost. Purposely did not want to put in appetizer order with salads since we like our food paced. Waitperson assured us food we be paced out. The moment we got our arancini appetizer, our salads came out 5 seconds later. Waitperson disappeared at one point and we had to flag down someone to enquirer about her whereabouts and were than told she was on a break because of Ramadan & they would take care of us and our waitress appeared again later for the end of our meal. Possibly just an off night for staff...attention to details so important. Salt seems to not be used at all in seasoning the food till at the end with dessert. Tiramisu does not need salt (way too much) and only a dusting of cocoa powder on top since powder bitter and a light dusting is all that is needed. I would definitely come back again but definitely not the attention to detail when it was Pizza Locale.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Pizzeria Alberico. The salads, wine and pizza were all good. The service was great and the atmosphere is fun.

Absolutely delicious. We live in Cincinnati and loved Pizzeria Locale before they went out of business, so we always looked forward to visiting a location in Denver. They've since closed the Denver locations as well, but the pizza here was even better! It's a much more upscale vibe, and we loved everything that we tried.
