Julio's Wood Fired Pizza & Grill — Restaurant in Southbury

I recently visited Julio's Wood Fire Pizza and Grill and had a good experience overall, even though I only sampled a small portion of the menu. I ordered a pizza and an arugula salad. The pizza was great—I'm a fan of thin, crispy dough, and Julio's delivered on that front. However, I felt the pizza could have benefitted from more fresh basil. It seems the basil was added before the pizza was cooked in the wood oven, which caused it to shrink and burn at the tips. Adding the basil after the pizza is cooked might be a better approach.

As for the arugula salad, it was bland but still good. I think it could be elevated with some shaved Parmesan cheese, prosciutto, crispy pear, and walnuts to add more texture and flavor. I look forward to trying more items from their menu...

Such a good pizza for such a small town. Why didn’t we find this place earlier??? It so hard to find a mix of thin crust and delicious toppings! We came here for a lunch time and ordered one 16” PIZZA CON FUNGHI MISTI (with mushrooms) and one 12” PIZZA POMODORO. It was enough for three adults. Also we enjoyed their bread-sticks with sauce (I’m not sure if I call them correctly) which we received before we made an order. Staff is friendly, they took our order and bring the food very fast, but we didn’t see other customers besides us.. Moreover, interior is cozy and exquisite and outdoor patio is also very cute and spacious. Love everything...

We've been ordering from Julio's for a few years now. The pizza is always delicious. Last night we had a takeout order and once home we discovered half of the pizza was a little burnt. We called to voice our displeasure and possibly come back to pick up another pie. The woman on the other line said we'll bring it to you. Within 20 minutes the owner of Julios was in our driveway with a fresh and perfectly cooked pizza. She refused a tip simply stating "I just want my customers to be happy". I wish more businesses strived for this level of satisfaction! So 5 stars for perfect food, perfect service, and a business owner that goes...
