   We were seated by the door and it was very uncomfortable when patrons would hold the door open. So cold! Food and service were fantastic as always.

   The caprese needs fresh mozzarella like the previous restaurant had. Not the same as what is used in Pizza.

    We had dinner here before going to a show at the Benedum, right before a Steeler game started. Pizzaiolo filled up fast, but our food and drinks were always quick and our waitress was wonderful! We both had pizza, which was absolutely incredible. If you sit downstairs, you can even watch them make the pizzas! The atmosphere is great too, traditional but very fun. The staff even sing along with the radio sometimes. It’s a delicious, beautiful place, and we’ll definitely be back!

    We always love Pizzaolo-Primo for the Holidays with the kids and family when we are in Pittsburgh. The food is great - something for everyone and Felicia was wonderful. She brought out the kids spaghetti first to keep them happy. She even got an original drawing from our grand-daughter for being so nice. The only thing I would recommend is that the wine list be a little deeper and have some less expensive options in the Italian reds. Still fabulous - always recommend.

    My husband and I went in for an early lunch. The service was solid, and the food was good. We started with arancini balls and they were lukewarm. I think this is from being there early and things weren’t fully ready. My husband had chicken scarpariello, which was excellent, and I had a margherita pizza. The bottom of the pizza was soggy… I’m thinking it waited in the window while his dish was done. The flavors were great. Overall, we could see the potential and will definitely go back.

    Standout service and exceptional food! 4 stars for ambiance because space felt a bit tight (not surprising for downtown location but can’t give 5 stars). I like my beer a bit colder but all in all, a great dining experience!

    Friendly service. They called in advance to offer an earlier time which I accepted. Pizza was good….would have liked more cheese. Tried the pasta with shrimp and lemon zest which was amazing. Excellent vodka crème on another dish and great cocktail. Space was a lot smaller than expected. Unsure what they do when it gets busy.

    I was stunned by how bad the food was. The caprese salad was literally a slice of ice cold nasty tomato and a slice of mozzarella. Not a single bit of olive oil, no vinegar, not a speck of salt/pepper. Terrible. Just no attention. I had to ask for salt which they couldn’t even find in the restaurant. Totally Gross. Thrown in the garbage. The pizza, which used to be delicious, was horrendous. Uncooked. Dough. Just inedible. Not crispy. Never again. I’m really disappointed. My kids went home hungry. I expected what I’d had in the past and something has changed. Do not go to this restaurant.

    The food was excellent, even the house salad which most places tend to be uneventful. The table split the Arancini balls. I'm generally not a fan, but these are worth it. We also had a Margherita and Funghi pizza and as always, excellent. The bartender/waitress was very attentive even when the crowd picked up. Great dinner and evening with friends.

    Asked to sit upstairs and had a reservation and this was written in the special request and it was not accommodated because we had an extra person and we were told that we couldn’t have seating upstairs because the hostess didn’t “notice” our request in the reservation. My husband went upstairs and there were empty tables and even a table near the window which was probably ours for a reservation but the girl at the front seemed to have no idea that we even had a reservation for up there. Also we were freezing because we were put in a table near the door and then we were told that the heat had just been turned on even though it’s 27° outside. I ordered a glass of wine and it never got to the table. I asked to buy the $200 in gift cards for the special that you were having were you get $20 for each $100 and I know with other restaurants you can buy it and use those and keep the free ones for another time but I was told that wasn’t possible– that was disappointing. The selection of music was awful. Here it is a week before Christmas and they were playing some heavy meta/ opera loud music! The food was good. I had a similar situation last year at this time with the same request to sit near the window for an out-of-town guest to have a view of downtown. We were told that there weren’t any tables available upstairs. However when we went up to use the restroom there was only one table of people and one server up there. We were seated at that small table near the front door which could not accommodate four people. When we pushed the issue we were able to be seated upstairs and the server said she didn’t understand why they didn’t just seat us there in the first place. I decided to give it a shot again this year and left very disappointed again with the whole reservation situation. Also waiting for table and standing at the bar or next to people other eating just doesn’t feel very comfortable. The whole front of the restaurant needs to be re-designed.

    Let me start of by saying, that two of the ladies in our group have worked for Pizzaiolo along with our sisters so we understand what they expect. The kitchen closed at 11 but we wanted to make sure so we called to let them know that 3 of would be there by 10pm. When we arrived we were greeted with zero smiles, eye rolls and attitudes but we sat down and moved on from that, ready for a great dining experience. Our server, was very sweet from beginning to end and expressed a “happy birthday” to our friend which we loved and said we will be offered any free dessert except for the bread pudding. We continued to dine and eventually had a few things boxed and our server asked if we’d like another round, at this point it was close to 1135 but there were still two other people dining but we wanted be sure it would be alright if we ordered another drink, our server proceeded to tell us “absolutely, please - I have a lot to do and we’re not going anywhere for at least an hour”. So we ordered another drink. Once the drinks hit the table, the music was turned off and the employees began literally staring at us from the kitchen, huddled up and staring. So uncomfortable, that’s when we noticed the music was off while they stared. It was so awkward. We closed out, without any dessert and just wanted to get out of there. One of our guests then used the bathroom and when she came back to the table she let us know that she heard some man from the kitchen saying “these girls just won’t leave.” At that point, we approached our server and told her how unfortunate the end of our dining experience was. We are all Pittsburgh natives and to see this restaurant’s morale so obviously disturbed has definitely put a bad taste in our mouth. It’s unfortunate, but we will be letting our family and friends know about our experience. Unless you want staring eyes and awkward ambiance - find another restaurant to spend your $300.

    Food was absolutely amazing! We have the specials: roasted Brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze & a salad with butternut squash, walnuts, dried cranberries & a vinaigrette dressing. The mushroom pizza was delicious as well. Our server was wonderful. She made a special effort to get us hot tea and kept refilling our drinks. One member of our party was late and she brought us appetizers as we waited. Just a lovely experience!
