About this business
Anybody wanting to eat at Pizzaiolo around 8p is in for a little wait, and its easy to see why. Pizzaiolo, founded by an alum of the famous Chez Panisse in Berkeley, serves delicious gourmet pizza made fresh from prime, local ingredients and cooked in a traditional wood-fired oven. This is not your average delivery pizza- this pizza is for adults, though people of all ages can enjoy it. The restaurant is designed with inclusiveness in mind, forming a parallel with the indiscriminate appeal of the pizza. The interior, which u... read more

no rsvp's, but the wait is worth it! – The restaurant doesn't take reservations, but the wait is worth it. The staff were always courteous to compensate for somewhat slow service. The place is packed with families with young kids - very friendly atmosphere. The food is what you come here for, and it is heavenly. You can taste the freshness of ingredients. The menu changes every day. We had the sausage pizza with greens (broccoli, how creative!), meatballs, and lasagna (very fluffy and light). Definite recommend!
Pure Northern Italian Delight – If its hard to get a table it is because the food, not to mention the wine, is so exquisite. The fresh Monterey Bay sardines were absolutely scrumptious! All of the appetizers, especially the antipasti, were elegant and creative. I'm not even a pizza-lover particularly, but the wood fired crust topped with rocket and prosciutto made me love the pie. I couldn't disagree more with the other review.
Underwhelmed! – Expecting good things, the overall dining experience was disappointing. The Margherita & Sweet/Hot Peppers with homemade sausage pizzas were excellent as was the Pappardelle alla Bolognese. However, that's where the good times ended. The service was stiff & indifferent. The Alla Pizzaiolo was ordered on the recommendation of our server and it was unusual and ornate, to say the least. As this is the diner's chance to experience the creativity of the chef, our chef that evening must have had his Christmas list ... read more
All form, no substance – Waited 45 minutes for a table they forgot us. no reservations taken, and crowded, watched fully set tables stand empty while the maitre'd talked on his cell. My beer was room temperature. Many odd wines offered. We shared table with another couple. All ordered same time, our entire meal came before the other couple received any food. My pizza arrived anchovy-less. Waitress informed us the anchovies always came on the side, and eventually brought them. Sometimes employees just stood around, or moved a... read more
