Pizzaiolo wood fired pizza — Restaurant in Kirkland

I drove 40 minutes to try these guys out after getting a craving for real pizza. It is a small business (literally and figuratively) connected to a few other establishments, and their sign isn't lit up, so you could easily miss it if you're not from the area. Inside, there is room for about 16-20 people comfortably. We went on a Friday around 6:30pm and it wasn't crazy busy. A lot of food delivery people were going in and out, and about 10 people dining in. We were able to place our order pretty quickly and were seated with a big glass container of water and 2 glasses. It only took about 20-25 minutes to get our pies. I got the Margherita, and my daughter got the Pepperoni. They were whole 12" wood-fired pizzas and cost about $19 each. I had very high expectations, but my initial reaction was that it was just better than average. But, after the 2nd and 3rd slice, I realized this was great pizza and probably the best I've had in Washington. The crust has a nice crisp to it, great color, and is delicious. The sauce is slightly sweet, and the mozzarella was perfect, not rubbery at all. The pepperoni on my daughter's pizza tasted fresh and wasn't greasy. Each pie had 6 slices. We each ate 3 of our own, and one of the other's. You can tell food is good and fresh ingredients are used when you are full, but don't feel weighed-down and gross. We wanted to eat more but decided to take the rest home for left-overs. We both had our other 2 slices within 15 minutes of getting back. They are a little more expensive than chain-pizza places, and they are a bit far from us, so this might be a once-in-a-while treat, but they are VERY good and...

Small place with limited seating, but have been wanting to eat here for some time. Very good wood-fired pizza with fresh ingredients. Staff were super friendly and helpful, we sat at a high-top table until a sit-down table was cleared then the waitress helped us move there. We tried a large (16"+) pizza half vegetarian and half Bianca and a small (12") pepperoni for the kids. Also shared a small ceasar salad and penne primavera. We had to wait on the pasta as it was cooked to order (without precooked pasta). Pasta red sauce w fresh veggies was a bit spicy for young kid taste but good and well made. Meal was tasty, Bianca pizza w italian sausage was the best, goat cheese on vegetarian and veggies were very good but lacked seasoning and flavor.( more salt, garlic and basil please) Pizza crust is very basic with good texture but (imo) lacking some salt and flavor. Penne Still a good meal and great experience for family of 4 w 2 grade school children. We took about half if what we...

I’ve been sitting on this review for long enough. Almost daily I think about this pizza I had a few weeks ago, the Margherita Di Bufala. I was sitting at home, looking at a friends story from New York of some amazing slice of Neapolitan style Pizza and I said “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” . I got on my phone and found the closest spot I could and sure enough stumbled upon this gem. I drive past it everyday for work and didn’t even realize. I looked at the photos online and decided I’d go for this exact style of pizza. I was greeted with a smile, kindly helped, and no less than 10 minutes later I had my pizza. I couldn’t hold my excitement 5 minutes. I got to my car, lifted the lid, and was met with the scent of fresh tomato sauce, beautifully thin crispy crust, and the mozzarella from my dreams. This is pizza was simply incredible. If you live in Kirkland or anywhere near all I can do is recommend you treat yourself to a...
