Pizzaiolo

this place is exceptional. the food is inventive and the atmosphere is always lively and fun. bring a date, a group of friends, work colleagues: the food will really elevate your evening out.

If you like to be tempted by luscious baked goods (spicy cheese croissants ?!), sit yo ass here. Otherwise solid brunch fare. Come early for a fresh-baked-warm loaf of heaven for $10 (half for $5).

Get the gin and tonic and pizza with nettles or chanterelles . Everything is so damn good. Get in when they first open, no need to be picky about when you eat, just get in when you can.

One of the best meals I've ever had. Squash pizza was out of this world, as was the halibut crudo . Panna cotta was sooo amazing. Just wow.

Ingredients are locally sourced to create dishes like pizza with wild mushrooms and gremolata, and swordfish with fried potatoes and romesco sauce. We’re getting hungry just thinking about it. Read more

Oh my, the pizza is so nice. Most important: save room for dessert . I had the panna cotta and it was a jaw dropper.

Most exciting pizzas in Oakland, so two of my favorite things. Should really go on a warm summer night when they've got an outdoor movie playing on the back patio .

Good cappuccino coffee and delicious quiche in the morning. Wonderful pastries and not to forget the toasted bread with avocado and extra virgin olive oil

Lively interior, awesome patio out the back. Very good Italian style crust, very good olive oil available as well . In the trendy Temescal

Arrive exactly when it opens to get a seat in the patio , or else sit at the bar where full menu is served. Can't go wrong with any of the pizzas or the salmon .

Always love Pizzaiolo. The outside tables are phenomenal. Great cocktails and good bread . Honestly I think the pizza and the pasta are just ok.

Everything is delicious here. Thanks to a friend's recommendation, I now get their tonic (no alcohol ) with each meal for $4. Every time it's just a little bit different.

Absolutely everything on the menu (which changes daily) is fantastic. If you're lucky enough to come on a night they have sformata, get it. Get five. And order a vodka tonic- their tonic's house-made!

Menu changes daily. Nothing disappoints; homemade bread is great (better than Tartine 's). Can't go wrong with pizza , and drinks are well-balanced.

Great food! Pasta>Pizza in my opinion but options are limited for pasta . Normal prices good ambiance great staff .

Local jewelry designer, Lauren Wolf, is a big fan of this spot featuring local food (and great pizza !) Check out exclusive designs by Lauren on ofakind.com. Don't miss out! Read more

I'm a glute-tard who willingly subjects herself to inevitable pain and suffering for their pizza + pasta . It's that good. Pro tip: if you love pork , you'll want anything with guanciale in it.

Homemade tonic makes the Gin & Tonic one of the best I've had. Don't miss it.

Please, you must have bourbon and their house made tonic. Do it. I am telling you!

Four barrel and buttery pastries in the morning. Super strong cold brew . Great place to start your day.

Morning coffee service is awesome... great coffee , homemade treats and a smile. Definitely not the spot if you're in a rush, though.

The window for the Wild Nettle and Pecorino pie is limited, but the combination of grassy nettles with salty Pecorino and creamy, buttery, almost-nutty mozzarella is killer when it's in season. Read more

Everything is delicious but the homemade tonic + gin and the pizzas are out of this area code good.

Pizza's are delicious but this not Burger King -- you have accept the pies as they are, you can't have them your way.

Potato , pancetta with more stuff on it is absolutely amazing.

Pizza is amazing. Bread with sesame in the crust and butter is also amazing.

Rigatoni is great and wood burning grilled bread is fantastic. Can't go wrong!

People are sore nice here. Some of the best service I've had in a long time. Good it's great too.

Pizza is fab. So are the drinks and desserts ! Love sitting on the back patio .

Roasted Potato pizza with the wood fired pizza is a combination worth stopping in!!!

Wow, this place is nuts . Sand Nabs, Salmon , Beets , Sausage ., Movies on the big screen . Ask for the hot sauce

I know you're about to get doughy pizza , but get the bread ...it's worth it!

Add arugula and a farm egg to your pizza . And save room for the panna cotta !

Great pizza ✌️, awful tiramisu ????

Green goddess dressing is so good!! I want to put it on everything!

Get the pasta Arrabiata it is delicious!

Sit at the bar and get to know the amazing, dynamic and very friendly bartenders . They are rock stars!

Mange on the woodfired pizza with nettles and tequila based cocktails along w/ East Bay hipsters and foodies. So far my experience tells me that anything on the menu is a "go."

One of my favorite restaurants in O-Town. Alice Waters-trained chef , simple ingredients with complex flavors, amazing pizzas….never had a bad meal here! Read more

Eat late and you might luck out and be offered a loaf of bread !

Food, amazing as usual but service was subpar. Felt like our waitress Katie or however she spells it was rushing us and didn't care at all. I didn't even get the coffee I ordered after our meal.

Great pizzas and pasta . Same owner as Boot and Shoe and less of a Mission District type crowd.

Another Chez Panisse alum , this time creating Cal-politan pizzas with tender blistered crusts.

Was really excited to try this place. Had an 8pm reservation . 30 min later still hadn't been seated. Too bad they don't honor their reservations :-/

The. Best.

Don't skip dessert and the delicious Blue Bottle Coffee that can be served with it

Watched a Muhammed Ali documentary in the back outdoor area one night.

They had us at Black Eyed Peas from the wood burning oven . Why didn’t our mama’s turnips taste that good growing up?

Get the whiskey beverage (but ask for Black Maple Hill bourbon ).
