Reviews for Pizzaiolo in Oakland, CA
My husband and I were planning a small wedding in April and, in searching for a place to have our dinner reception, we found... Pizzaiolo. The second we checked it out, we knew it was right. The quality of food at Pizzaiolo is really impressive and theymake patio dining feel intimate and fun at the same time. We are so happy with our choice to have them host our reception.Everything was better than expected and the staff was so sweet and welcoming. The vibe was very laid-back but it was the perfectway to celebrate with our close friends and family. Maggie set up the whole thing and she was amazingly helpful, planning themenu and making sure everything was prepared. She was also responsive to all my questions and helped me with various details inthe planning process. Thank you to Maggie and everyone at Pizzaiolo for treating us so well and sharing an unforgettable daywith us! Read more
And I thought it was a pizza joint! The Roast pork chile verde was out of this world and the Sail Out cocktail (s ????) were... stiff as homemade. Go eat here and thank me later. Read more
Cute and romantic Italian restaurant in temesecal. Went on a Thursday evening with a group of 3. No line! We ordered the rapini... pizza with sausage, the prosciutto with arugula pizza, and the pasta bolognese. The pizzas were delicious. The pasta was cookedperfectly Al Dente but the bolognese was very salty. My friend has a high tolerance for salt and even he said this was toosalty. Maybe the sauce needed to be diluted more or we just got the end of it. And when it’s night time, they only had smalltea light candles for lighting made it really hard to see. Read more
One of the best restaurants in Temescal. Make sure you show up early so you get a table or put your name on the waitlist. Grab a... cocktail from the bar and wait in the parklet outside! Indoor dining has great vibes and the open kitchen is so cool. I don'tthink you can go wrong with any choice on the menu. Start with the creamy burrata and fresh focaccia or the little gems salad.Finish with ANY of their pizzas. They are all immaculate. The crust is what dreams are made of and it's the perfect base for allof their topping options. Read more
Brunch is a recent addition to pizzaiolo’s repertoire - and it is killer. We had the breakfast salad (I love California... cuisine ????????) which was so nicely balanced with veggies and egg and breadcrumbs and cheese; the short ribs (tender and juicyand bangin); the fritters (????) and a piquant Avo and citrus salad. Oh and the best bloody I’ve had in the east bay! (Mustlove anchovies.) also plenty of outdoor seating and great service to boot. Mwuah! Read more
After walking around the cute back alley, thankfully stopped here at the right time for a drink and pizza to go! The two drinks... we had were both super solid along with the pizzas. The crust was cooked to perfection along with just the right amount oftoppings for Margherita and Mushroom pizzas. Looking forward to being back to try the other items on the menu soon. Come earlyor order takeout pizza early since right after we got ours around 530, the kitchen stopped taking take out orders until 830 dueto getting busy. Perfect timing *wink Read more
This place was good. My only thing that I disliked was the wait time. For 2 people on a Sunday night took 45 mins. We almost... gave up, but we were too invested. We ended up sharing a table with another couple. The pizza was great and the antipasta wasvery good. The salads here are great. All great choices. Cocktails are good too. I would return and hope the wait times aren'ttoo long next time. Read more
Okay pizza, I wasn't impressed. The pizza has too much emptu crust and they make it too spicy. The melon prosciutto salad was... great, but too expensive for the amount of food. There's a nice patio in the back. Read more
