Love the pizza. And the chicken and penne in light cream tomato sauce is really delicious. My daughter loves the chicken Ceasar wrap. I would give it 5 stars except that we limit ourselves to take out only from this neighborhood restaurant. It is impossibly crowded with small children otherwise and it is hard to enjoy your meal cause you are all so packed in. But the food is great for take out on nights when you just don't have time to cook. read more

Ordered Margherita pizza and veggie lasagna for carryout. Pizza was solid and it probably would've been even better if I'd eaten it at the restaurant. I lived in Naples, IT for 3 years and love brickoven pizza. I will definitely go back to Pietanza. I saved the lasagna for the next day. It was great. Perfect rendition and a large portion. read more

Great lunch deal. You get a fountain drink and 10 inch specialty pizza (or two toppings of your choice) for about 9 dollars before tax and tip. Quatro carne pizza for all the meat you can handle. Service is good about refilling drinks but the cups are large in their own right read more

Delicious food. The pies are made as thin crust, which I love. Although they only come in one size. (6 slices) -this doesn't feed many people. However, the kids menus are the best because they have really good personal pizzas. My 3 yr old (who doesn't eat anything) loved her cheese pizza. Wouldn't share it and at the whole thing by herself. She was happy. I will return with friends. read more

I was surprised that this place didn't get a higher overall rating, but then I read the reviews and learned that some people don't like dining with children. (Surely they don't mean *my* children!) Aside from 2 Amys in D.C., I would be hard pressed to recommend better pizza in the area. Good sausage subs and salads too. Good brownie sundaes. It's great to be able to eat grown-up food without hiring a sitter. Finally, I should mention the rainy night when my wife and I were both hungry and cranky and we called in a take-out order about 15 minutes before closing. Pie-Tanza came through, for which I will always be grateful. read more

Really good pizza and salads, and fast, friendly service. We've gotten the takeout quite a few times. Order shortly before you get there because the pizza bakes very quickly and you don't want it sitting there getting cold. Also, the parking situation in the Lee-Harrison lot can be ridiculous at times. I honestly don't know what stores all those people are in. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants! Once the kids have cleared out (later in the evening), the atmosphere is relaxing and warming with the enticing aromas, pendant lights, and fire in the stove. Wait staff is attentive, friendly, and helpful, but not intrusive. The food is delicious. Many items on the menu are standouts, including the Primavera and Mediterranean pizzas. Pricing is reasonable for the quality and quantity of fresh, flavorful food. Portions are generous! We love pie-tanza and frequent it more than any other restaurant! read more

I have been meaning to review this place and now I have the chance. Be aware that it is a very family friendly restaurant, if trying to avoid all the kids (it does get a little crazy) try going around 7:50 or later. We had the fried mozzarella and it was really really good. I had the spaghetti and meatballs as an entree which had a great sauce and the meatballs were really good. Pizza was also really flavorful and delicious. The service was also very friendly and attentive. It is not one of those "trying to hard to be Italian places" but still has good decor and a nice atmosphere. It's a big staple in the average arlington family diet. Also has take out, which comes in handy a lot. read more

See all

This is our solid go-to spot for local pizza. I actually prefer the crust and sauce to Pupatella (theirs seems flavorless), but maybe that's just me! The four cheese is my favorite and a healthier runner-up would be the pear and arugula. The veggie lasagna is another favorite, but not as much as the pizza. Beware, there are usually a lot of children here, so if you're looking for a quiet, romantic dinner, then this is probably not the spot, but it's good for those nights when you want something in between delivery and a nicer sit down place. Also a good casual spot to meet friends or bring family without breaking the bank :-) read more

Pie-Tanzana is out go to place after dance for the girls -- service is exceptional for take-out and always prepared as requested (lots of substitutes are usually requested). Prices are reasonable for a small family on the go -- thank you Pie-tanza for being there for us for the last several years! read more

One of my favorite restaurants I go here all the time!! 10/10 would recommend. I get the pizza if u were wondering. Don't get salad that's lame. Also get the lemonade that's pretty good too. read more

Their bolognese is not bolognese. It's a watery spagehtti sauce and not a really good one at that. Service was good and it's fun to watch the pizzas get made in the oven, but overall very average (below average) with OK food. read more

They offer one of the best gluten-free pizzas I've ever had - I also enjoy Upper Crust - but in general it's hard to find a gluten-free pizza this good. Unfortunately I also ordered a salad and informed two different people of my gluten allergy - it still came with bread on top. Further I requested the salad without peppers and not only did it come with peppers but the entire salad tasted like a pepper. It happens but don't particularly recommend the grilled chicken either. Love this place but would advise that some of the staff learn more about legitimate food allergies because the individual on the phone really did not seem to understand how sick someone can actually get from eating the wrong thing. I don't mean to be that person but honestly it was a real issue here. I'm certain it doesn't represent the entire restaurant. But highly, highly recommend the pizza here. read more

This restaurant is in my heart. Sweet tomato cream penne, chx and walnut salad, fried calamari, chicken salad sandwich = delicious. Hope this place will be there forever. Excellent service!!! read more

My go to restaurant when friends visit. Pizza is delicious, crisp and nice. Anyone who looking for some low priced Italian grub should go here. Good family restaurant! read more

Pie Tanza is a great place - fair prices and good food will keep you coming back. Quick on the service side too - they will get you in and out fast without rushing you. Kid-friendly and wallet friendly, they offer everything from salads, pizza and calzones to baked ziti. Wine and beer served as well. Take out is quick and as yummy as dining there in the restaurant. Love the Pie Tanza salad and the Primavera Pizza. read more

This place is fantastic! It is kid friendly but it is also a good place to go kid-less. The portions are huge and not overpriced. I often will split something with my mom or a friend or order my own and have enough left over for another meal. The kids portions are decently priced and the portions are big for them too. The last time we went my 3 yo spilled a cup of water and they were very sweet about helping get to it right away and even though I felt awful they did not seem annoyed at all which was nice because accidents do happen. I love their chicken parmasean (regular and sub) and the white bean soup. Their salads and pizza are good as well and everything seems to be homemade! read more

Awesome chicken salad wrap and pizzas. Friendly staff and quick service.

Our favorite local Italian restaurant. We eat here about once or twice a month. Food is consistently good. My wife has several salads she loves there (e.g., Chicken and Walnut) and I enjoy the soups, pizza and sandwiches. I have found the pasta dishes just average. Probably the best part is the servers who are always friendly, polite and attentive. If you prefer a restaurant that will not have noise and kids, then this may not be the place for you - especially on evenings after sports practices. read more

This has always been the go to place for my family, but lately, it has gone downhill. Maybe its me, but I have noticed that as restaurants the quality goes straight down the toilet. I ordered the calzone with meatballs and my other half ordered the cheesy chicken (cant remember the name) and the waitress brought me one side of marinara that barely covered any of it. Had to wait a while for the second side. The cheesy chicken was good and worth it. We will still go back since it is in our neighborhood, and hope they improve a bit. Prices are very reasonable, too read more

So so good. Best ceaser salad ever!!!!! They serve really fast, their waiters are very friendly. You should go and see for yourself!!!!!

I love Pie-Tanza for a casual, 'I just don't want to cook tonight' meal. I also love it for any other time, actually. The food is good - the thin crust pizza doesn't leave you bloated or too full to move. It is tasty and filling. The service is as good as it gets with local high school students - sometimes wonderful, but always good. read more

A great casual restaurant. Today I had a delicious pizza with prosciutto and Roma tomatoes. The cappuccino was tasty as well and the server was friendly and attentive. It was a perfect casual dining experience! read more

The food is pretty good for the price. The staff is very nice and helpful. The flatbread is the best!

Very family friendly and great with the kids. The pizza is awesome and the pasta & sauces are great! The staff are so helpful and kind. We love to celebrate here or just come when we need a break from the dinner routine. It's a neighborhood place--we always run into friends here! read more

Great for kids but pizza tends to be soggy, salads are tasteless with grocery store dressings and when staff makes mistakes mgmt doesnt provide customer svc to do "the right thing" just sorry we were wrong and customer has to accept it. Bottom line: Go there to keep your kids happy but dont go there expecting real italian food or high flavor food. read more

Love this place! Large portions, fresh salad and a ton of options. I also love that you have reasonable drink prices and have cider on the menu. One of the best priced places in the area! read more

Where to start? We have been trying to order food from various places during this quarantine to support restaurants and give ourselves a break from prepping and cooking...so much cooking! Often we fall into the rut of rotating through the same few places. I noticed someone sharing that Pie-Tanzania was coming out our way with deliveries once a week and we decided to give it a go. Everything on the menu looked fabulous, but we were planning a later dinner and I wanted something that worked best for that. I ended up ordering the take and bake pizza kit (3 pizzas!) with 2 toppings. It came boxed neatly and efficiently with clear instructions and we couldn't wait to get to it. Let me tell you - OMG - it was amazing!! We actually made 4 pizzas from it (thank you extra ball of dough!) and none was better than the other. The crust, the sauce, the flavor of our toppings - mushroom and sausage - were just delicious! My husband was stopping after every bite to tell me how good it was...in case I didn't know??!? We can't wait to order again, and now I'm torn between ordering more of this or trying something new! You WILL NOT be disappointed by choosing Pie-tanza! Oh, and I also ordered two sangrias to go and that made the great pizza experience perfect - yummy! Take advantage of their curbside pickup or their delivery out to Loudoun County once a week - I know we will be doing so for sure! read more

There is nothing bad about this place it great the food is tasty everyone nice however I have suggestion to include more gluten free options as my friend got a gluten free allergy and now cannot come back read more

This place is wonderful. The pizza is great and the service is excellent. Our family goes here regularly. The chicken Parmesan sub is also quite good. read more

I absolutely love this place. They have tons of delicious different types of pizzas. Their salad portions are very generous and taste great. Overall the environment is great, good for kids too. We also have a favorite server- Mo (Mohammed). He is amazing and we always look forward to conversations with him. We love pie-tanza!! read more

The "go to" neighborhood restaurant in the Arlington area if you have small children. Very kid-friendly, reasonably priced, with delicious wood-oven pizza. Staff are very friendly (often offer kids with little balls of pizza dough to provide much-needed distraction). Only negatives are small seating capacity and limited parking - this area is growing and the secret is out about this place. That said, they offer takeout, which we use often. Love Pie-Tanza! read more

The food is wonderful. We've quit going there because the place is always full of noisy, ill-behaved, screaming children, and the management refuses to provide an area where adults can sit and enjoy a quiet meal. I don't think this indicates good management, because when the tables are filled up with a lot of children eating at substantial discounts, the money is bound to be less than if they encouraged paying customers. The Falls Church location is somewhat better, but there are other restaurants where your business is more appreciated. read more

One of the best in this area but again there aren't any real pizza places around Arlington. The oven needs cleaning most of the time since you could get a real burnt like taste on the pizza crust. Overall it is an average experience with average quality pizza. I do go occasionally since it is convenient, hope you have a good experience. If you like a better tasting pizza try Pupatella, although the parking is a problem, its worth checking out... read more

Price was a little high for what you get but the food was good. If Thin crust is your thing this is the place. I prefer thick crust.

Went here a while ago because Cafe Asia was busy. WOW! It was really good and a nice sit down place. The favorite pizza places in the area are Italian Store or Ledo's Pizza. But when I am in the mood for a sit down or date night, this is a wonderful place to do so. The wine list is great and when I asked which wine would go well with the pizza I wanted to order, my waiter was wonderful about telling me what he suggested. You will definitely have a great experience here. read more

I love this restaurant! The food is delicious. The service is decent. The restaurant just feels good in general. I go here whenever I can.

A girlfriend and I chose this place, well she did and I tagged along, for dinner Sunday night. It was pretty full, but the service was still competent. I enjoyed my tomato pizza. Forgive me for not remembering the name, but it was tomato sauce, mozzarella, sliced tomatoes and sundried tomatoes. I thought it was very good. The size was reasonable and since I didn't get a salad I was able to eat almost the entire thing. My friend got a salad with chicken on it and enjoyed hers. Her salad was so big she wasn't able to finish it, but I think she pretty much ate all the goodies off the top. The only problem was the dessert. My friend had been there before and ordered and was given the child's serving of an ice cream sundae. We were told they were not allowed to do that and that we would have to have two scoops and pay twice as much. The adult Sundae was not on the dessert menu at all and the manager was not able to explain why they would not allow us to have the smaller sundae to our satisfaction. I personally am okay with adults not being able to eat from the children's menu, but I think it is fair to say that policy should be printed on the menu and be upheld consistently. We ended up not having dessert which was fine with me anyway. I had eaten so much pizza I really didn't need it and I didn't really have room for it either. read more

So I came here last night with my dad to grab something quick and tasty to eat. We were kinda disappointed in the past we used to come here and the food was great. We ordered a plain cheese, pepperoni and white pizza with fontina--we were really hungry! All of the pizzas were burnt on the bottom which left a bitter taste. The crust was thin which is something I like. The white pizza with fontina was horrible it had way too much oregano or something on it and it tasted really bitter. I also ordered the tomato bread soup as something to eat before the pizza came out and it tasted like i was eating chunky tomato sauce like straight from a jar or something. Also the timing was off because I waited forever for my soup and then two seconds later our pizzas came out. I also noticed that the place was not as crowded as it used to be but there were still a lot of children there but its a pizza place that is to be expected. Overall, I gave it three stars because in the past the pizzas were really good, maybe they just left them in the oven for too long. I also appreciated the fact that we were in and out in less than an hour. read more

This is the second time I've tried Pie-Tanza... I ordered a take-out pizza... ~14.00 bought me a cracker with cheeze... I enjoy thin crust pizza, but this is ridiculous... I'd ordered vege toppings only, got it home, and found that what appeared to be onions was, in fact, ham... As I'm a strict vegetarian, I'm not able to comment on the "wholesome goodness" of their fresh toppings... The "pizza" (which actually massed less than the box it came in) went into the trash can... Won't be eating there again... read more
