About this restaurant

Romantic
Innovative
Neighborhood gem

Opened in 1996 by Pittsburgh native Ron Molinaro, Il Pizzaiolo started with a simple credo: create Neapolitan pizza using old-world techniques and the highest-quality ingredients available. Since then, the restaurant has become a vibrant gathering place for lovers of Neapolitan pizza, pasta and Italian wine. Nearly everything on the menu is hand-made. And if it’s not made in-house, it’s imported from the best artisans, cheese-makers and salumeria in the world. Mozzarella di Bufala comes direct from Naples every Thursday and the pizzas are baked at 1000˚ in a handcrafted, wood-fired brick oven for less than 90 seconds. This, along with perfectly leavened dough, San Marzano tomatoes and extra virgin olive oil, produces the most authentic Neapolitan pizza possible.

As always, food excellent. As always, food overpriced. I've been going to Il Pizzaiola for 14 years. Don't think I'm going back.

This was the first time I have ever been seated in the back room. It was sweltering hot and the noise level was off the charts. We had to scream to hear each other. The food was excellent, however I will make sure never to sit in that room again.

My entire family loves this restaurant's pizza, salad and pasta, but the noise level in both dining rooms is a negative. Everyone must shout to have their voices heard, resulting in an escalating cacophony, which is not conducive to conversation. The restaurant's best dining experience is on the back patio among the plants and fountains - so charming. There is no noise and the food, with all the ingredients straight from Italy, is just perfect. The tomato sauces on the pizza and pastas are to die for.

Food was very good and always fresh ingredients. Recommend the cheese platter appetizer, pizza anf the eggplant parm. Tables are to close and the waite staff makes you feel rushed. Wine prices are high.

It was a busy Saturday so they must be doing something right. I had eaten there before and I was taking the family there for a special occasion. The two experiences were definitely not the same. The noise level upstairs was very high; so much so that we had a difficult time hearing the waitress. My entree was good, the appetizer was nice but the little things regarding service just weren't there. The waitress was relying on her memory which, based on our experience, she shouldn't do. So if you can find a quiet night to go I would say go, but for us and the drive to reach the place It is not likely to be a repeater.

The food was incredible! We haven't had homemade gnocchi or arancini since living in Italy. One request, go back to offering Taurasi by the glass.
