Reviews for Pizzaiolo Bar and Grille in Portland, ME
Their pizza is very tasty (one of the few good NY styles around), but their recent price increases are outrageous. I'm... completely aware and sympathetic to rising prices of everything, but $25 for a cheese and $29 for a large pepperoni pizza is noteven close to what other local pizza restaurants are charging. I'd like support them, but I cannot justify paying those priceswhen I can go to any other pizza place that has lower costs and often more substance to their pizza. This isn't a knock on theactual product, but a comment that their pricing is no longer market competitive. Read more
It was good. But I spent $50 and got 6 chicken tenders and a TINY almost personal sized pizza. I was shocked when I picked it... up. I could have gotten a dinner for 2 downtown in a delicious hip restaurant for that price. I will def never go back. Thereare other pizza places with similar quality for way more affordable prices.

Pizza in this city is as ubiquitous as cannabis stores. Having that beeb said, if you're going to do pizza, do it... differently.and better. Pizzaiolo does both. The crust is great because they bake the pie on this metallic mesh thing. It makesthe crust sturdy and not cardboard like some pizzerias. The pizza is nothing with a bomb a$$ sauce. This pizza has it! Also,Hailee was attentive and made my first experience with this place worth coming back to. I can't wait to come back to play somepool because they have a pool table! Read more
Penelope was are server she was excellent and was very polite and attentive. She is a great server. ???? I ordered spaghetti and... meatballs, hard to find a good plate around here thus I'm from New York. It was great. Real meatballs. Beautiful. I went tobrunos with high hopes, what a disappointment. If you want a real Italian plate. Come here. Read more
I have tried pretty much every pizza spot in Portland, and I have to say Pizzaiolo has to be my favorite so far. The crust is... absolutely perfect. Not too thick, not to thin, and they know what it means when you say crispy or well done. I was also veryimpressed with the quality of cheese and the sauce that they use. I ordered a hamburger, bacon, and mushroom pie, and thetoppings were done perfectly as well. There are a lot of places in Portland doing pizza these days, but if you?re looking for agenuine NY style pie, Pizzaiolo is definitely your spot. I haven?t ordered a pie from anywhere else since I tried this place???????????? Read more
Great pizza and great service from our waitress Hailey. We enjoyed the sun on the deck!!
Stellar comes to mind, but it's better than that! The pizza is amazing, sure, with pulled pork and BBQ chicken on the pies, how... can you go wrong!? This place is more than just great food though; it's a great experience. Trivia Tuesday nights, KaraokeWednesday nights, and the prices at the bar kept me there all night. Seriously great drink deals. I sang karaoke, had two slicesof world class pizza, four beers, played darts, and had a great time all for around $25. It doesn't get much better than that! Read more
I'm honestly not sure if I will give this place another go. The price of the pizza was about 7-13$ more than Otto's and similar... in taste(which was quite good). The crust was real hard and crunchy though(maybe an anomaly considering the other pictures ofPizza I've seen?), so that was a bit unappealing. If the owner reads this, please update your website. I saw you had cheesecakefor 5$ so I ordered that. When I got there I was told it was "worth the 10$". For one slice? Nah, I can buy 4 slices at thatprice from the store. I spent the money but wish I had refused it instead. I saw they had a bar and pool table. Don't know ofany other pizza place with that. So there's a plus. Edit: Looks like their response was deleted but their website has beenupdated. Kudos for that. Read more
