Walked in visibly in a hurry and asked of they have pizza ready she said yes took the money and 5 minutes later when I ask where... this ready pizza she tells me it's 5 more minute while incsn u detstanf the Spanish cook saying 15 to 20 minute. Yo got to keepmy money and your pizza, good for you Read more
Atmosphere is nice and it seemed like a local favorite. Pizza looked delicious but the pesto sauce for a pasta was more of a... runny green-tinged oil soup. Read more
Can?t believe I just paid $27 for the quality of pizza I just received. I have ordered from here a few times and the pizza was... usually pretty good. Tonight, I received a pizza with so little cheese, we had to bring it home, add extra mozzarella to it andput it back in the oven. Not to mention, the toppings were distributed with little to no thought and clumped in two to threeareas of the pizza. This will certainly be my last time ordering from here as there are numerous and MUCH higher qualityoptions in Alexandria now for the same or lower price. Time to find a new pizza place. Read more
I decided to get takeout since they have gluten free crust. I used to be a regular at the now closed Crystal city location. At... that time, Cafe Pizzaiolo was arguably the best pizza in the area. I had high hopes for their gluten free crust. I had to throwout the pizza. The crust was both rubbery and rock hard. The portion that was covered with toppings was rubbery and sticky whilethe crust was so hard that it was nearly impossible to chew. The bottom of the pizza stuck to the paper so badly that itcouldn?t be removed from the pizza. The crust was inedible and the overall flavor of the pizza was not what it used to be. Read more
I didn't see anyone over the age of 21 working when we went. Not necessarily a bad thing, but guess I'm just old enough to be... assured if there is a real adult present. Our waitress was friendly and helpful, generally, but there were a few missed thatcould have been avoided: bringing utensils and a few extra napkins before the food was primary. The pizza was tasty, but a bitsoggy in the middle. The burger ordered med was well done, and a side salad (right from the menu - nothing special) came out 20min. after everything else. Not terrible, but nothing spectacular either. Try, try again? We'll see if it comes up next timewe're in the area and on the mood for pizza. Read more
The inside is small but smelled good when we walked in. There?s a good amount of outdoor seating as well. Pizza was served hot... and prompt. The pizza was good! The crust was thin, cheese was good and it wasn?t too greasy. Would go back for another pizza orto try their other food Read more
Food is good sometimes the service is disorganized and it can take a long time to get food or the order is wrong. That said the... pasta and sandwiches are good. The smoked chicken with pesto really is superb. The pizza is also available. There is a goodbar with a selection of microbrews, wine and liquor. Read more
Wish we would've gotten the pizza. The pasta was mid but the meat was cooked to perfection. However, everything was too oily.... Very friendly staff Will consider for specials and happy hours Read more
