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.

    Fabulous meal....authentic and classic. Menu wasn't as extensive as what was presented online via Open Table, but everything we had was perfectly prepared. Service was professional and helpful. Would go back again if traveling to Pittsburgh.

    Great place to always have a fantastic meal. Pizza is excellent, pasta is very fresh, wine options are great. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a great dinner or lunch place. Right in the heart of Mount Lebo, perfect for an after dinner walk as well.

    We ordered something the waiter recommended and it was very sad display of the item and it was not good. The salad was great but the pizza/calzone combo was awful! I wouldn't recommend getting that. When the waiter asked how did we like his recommendation and we told him we didn't he pretty much walked away not saying anything. The ambience was nice but the food was disappointing.

    Always love coming here; however this time not too memorable. Reservation was not ready at time even though there were many empty tables and watched a few people walk in after the two of us and be seated. When seated we were at table right by door which called for a lot of traffic. Service was outstanding, however. I ordered the marinara pizza which had entirely too much sauce. Since it has no cheese the crust is very thin but i had to spoon sauce off. Otherwise the pizza would be drenched.

    We had an excellent appetizer. Kind of like a caprese salad except the mozzarella was in a big circle and was gooey on the inside. The pizzas were very good.

    We were sat in the front part of the restaurant. it was so crowded and loud and noisy we barely could hear each other. The server was absolutely wonderful! very attentive! very good explaining things! he did great! I may of sat in the back section in the other house/part. previously. Though this time if i had to sit in the front i probably wouldn’t return. not the environment we were looking for also no kids menu. though the server did really help on making the pizza the way a child would eat. As always their food is great!!!

    We have eaten here numerous times as a couple and group. This was a pre-half marathon carb load, so we were there early. Lots of families with kids, so if you don't want that. come later. Good service although it took a while for our main courses to come out. Our server was great about keeping a full bottle of water on our table at all times so we could get plenty of hydration. As usual, the pizzas, salads and pasta are all top notch. Interesting wine list, ask for help if you don't know Italian wines.
