Folino's Wood Fired Pizza Shelburne

Paid a quick visit to your Shelburne location today to pick and go. Ordered just a plain pie and some wings. Amazing pizza and delicious dry rub wings. Will be coming back. Kudos to the amazing staff (I didn’t get his name) as well who recommended things to do for us out of staters visiting for a bit.

We tired your pizza in the Northfield location for the first time, we paid $50 for 2 pizzas, was hoping for better quality of pizza, very thin crust, very little cheese and skimpy toppings, in our area it's hard to find a good pizza, was hoping for more considering the price, hopefully they can improve.

? **Folino's Pizza in Shelburne, VT ?

Folino's has it all: a massive, diverse menu, inventive toppings, and the perk of enjoying your pizza right inside Fiddlehead Brewery with a refreshing IPA! ? Here’s what we tried:

1️⃣ **Fire Kracker Shrimp** - This pizza blew me away! ?? Topped with garlic, arugula, red onions, and chipotle-marinated shrimp, I didn't expect to love shrimp on pizza *this* much. Easily a Top 10 bite of the year. **10/10** ?

2️⃣ **Leeky Chicken** - Featuring buffalo chicken, leeks, and bacon, this pizza was cooked to perfection. The buffalo sauce added a perfect kick ?️, and the chicken was juicy and tender. **9/10** ?

3️⃣ **Truffle Pig** - A three-cheese blend with asparagus, bacon, and truffle oil. ?? While the asparagus was a fun twist, I wished for more of that truffle flavor. Still, a tasty pick! **8/10** ✨

4️⃣ **Hawaiian** - Loaded with bacon, pineapple, and mozzarella. ?? I know, it's controversial, but trust me, it’s worth it. Sometimes classics just work. **9/10** ?

With so many more intriguing pizzas left to try (hello, fungi, buffalo chicken and I think I saw a surf and turf pizza!), Folinos is definitely a spot I'd love to revisit. **Overall:** Food: 9/10, Affordability: 8/10, Ambiance: 6/10 – laid-back and brewery-side, so you can savor your slice with a fresh beer.

Pizza was good, despite what felt like a long wait. I enjoyed the Frankenstein(?)

I came in with my family to the Shelburne location for the first time this evening. It was also our last visit as the front host was incredibly rude, did not manage the dining area, and I overheard her making snide comments about my child who is 12. We came to celebrate my 12 year old and I am disgusted that a staff member would act like a bully. A disappointing end to what could have been a nice family dinner.

We stopped in on our visit to Vermont and had some awesome pizza and beers next door while we waited.

The best place for pizza in the entire Vermont state ?
The best pizza I have had in years in the United States of America. Freedom is this quality in all senses.

In general the food was decent. The two areas that stuck out were the staff and the cleanliness. There wear 3 people working at the counter and occasionally working as servers. I say occasionally because they seemed more interested in talking to themselves, texting or playing a game on their phone while clientele were waiting order. As side note with the counter workers, it was a little frustrating that they were not able to figure out how to give change back when they were given cash money. Especially when the machine they use shows the amount to give back.

The other area of concern is the cleanliness. The staff was not wiping down tables when people were done with them.

Went with a large group. My order for a large pepperoni took longer than expected, but the issue I have is that it was quite burnt. Every other pizza came out fine and was delicious, but honestly mine sucked. Maybe I was the last order of the night, but for such an expensive pizza I expected much better quality for a simple pizza. Very disappointed!!!

With few other options in the area to go to, we found ourselves here a few times. Thankfully the pizza is great. Customer service was good. They also have a gluten free crust ( I have an intolerance not an allergy) and it was the best gluten free crust I've ever had. The regular pizza is a sourdough base, also equally delicious.

Vegetarian options: I was excited to try the vegan pizza, with the cashew cheesy sauce. It was ok, a bit dry and didn’t really taste as expected.
