    Meatballs & Spaghetti
    Shayla M.

    I stopped into Pie-tanza for dinner. The restaurant was pretty empty. I had a hard time deciding what to order so I just opted for one of the wood fire pizzas and ordered the spaghetti and meatballs to go. The pizza did not take long to come out at all. The pizza was good. I would have preferred a little more sweeter sauce where this sauce is more tangy. The pepperoni is more of the deli style then the pepperoni cups. The spaghetti and meatballs did not have a ton of sauce. The meatballs were a decent size and where flavorful. If I was in the area again, I would check it out.

    Always, always delicious food. Always remarkably generous portions. Always friendly servers and staff. Always shocked by how reasonable the prices are. They deserve six stars, not just five!

    Pretty average as far as pizza goes. The sausage seemed a bit bland to me, pie ingredients chaos garnished (meat all on one side). Crust slightly too thin and crispy for my liking. It tasted okay, but nothing to scream home about. Portion is perfect for one person, provided that is your only order. The cheese appetizers are good, I mean how can you go wrong with deep fried cheese? The goat cheese balls do come on an insane bed of lettuce though, so it could in and of itself be an entree. The side (app) salads are huge and would probably work as a whole meal. Delicious, but I can't imagine how big the full size one is! Nice ambiance. Fair amount of kids and crowded on a weeknight. Big shout to our server Chloe who is the model for wonderful and friendly service. If I ever come back, I'd ask for her section.

    Fresh food, good atmosphere, family oriented restaurant, make sure to try the garlic bread very fresh

    Grabbing a hot slice!

    Good family-friendly restaurant with wood-fired NY style pizza, but NOT Neapolitan. The ginormous charred pizza pies have a nice crunchy crust. The creamy White Sauce pizza with onion and thyme was more flavorful than the Cheese pizza. The pizza shake with oregano and fontina cheese overpowered the Cheese pizza. The cheese congealed pretty quickly and the pizza became tepid after 5 minutes. It was a bit disappointing to be served a can of Lambrusco instead of from a fresh bottle in a glass. There was a large assortment of flavored sangria and non-alcoholic bubbly sodas. The service was great and very accommodating towards my rambunctious family with a toddler and a baby throwing food from a high chair (we left a generous tip!). If you enjoy NY style pizza, you'll enjoy Pie-tanza. It was nice to support the small family business, but I prefer Neapolitan pizza at Modo Mia right across the street from the shopping plaza.

    A true Arlington staple. I've been getting the margherita for over ten years-- it is one of my comfort foods. The sauce and crust are amazing.

    Warm Caramel Apple Pie
    Tam B.

    A friend recommended this place to me and I'm glad she did. First off...the food. I'm a fan of thin crust pizza and the pizza I ordered had a nice charred crispy to it and the rich tomato sauce was pleasant. I'm also a sucker for apples and cinnamon, so I decided to try their warm apple caramel pie, which was served a la mode with vanilla bean ice cream. Was a little disappointed by this dessert because I thought it was rather bland. Nevertheless, it wasn't the terrible, so I ate most of it. Secondly, the service was attentive and not overbearing. My server was friendly and greeted me right away when she noticed me standing by the host stand without a host/hostess in sight. Last but not least, the ambiance was cozy, casual, and comfortable. I like the fact that they had chalk boards with menu items. Nice touch to add to the welcoming atmosphere. Pizza: 9/10 Warm caramel apple pie: 6/10

    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.

When I had ordered previously, I always found that my pie was not ready and I had to wait. Each time, I waited a bit longer, and each time, still not ready. So, this time, ordered my pizza before 9:00 PM and did not depart immediately -- but instead waited a full 20 minutes before even walking there slow. When I arrived, the pizza was..... still not ready. It occurs to me that this shop is situated in a time zone that is somehow TEN MINUTES BEHIND the time your order is due. The guy says "five minutes." In any case, I stand, I wait.... and I.... wait some more. It wasn't five minutes. Lots of workers standing. Nearing the 9:30 mark, someone finally says "have you been helped?" And whadda ya know? Found out the reason I was still waiting - BECAUSE MY PIE WAS SITTING THERE THE WHOLE DAMN TIME! Getting cold. She says "we're just getting that cut up." But they weren't - it was already cut. They took one of their old pies off the rack and slid it right into a box. It wasn't in the oven. I could feel it was cold, but yes, I took it and went home. I can't say you couldn't eat it but.... it wasn't good. We did eat some of it, but only after baking it in my own oven. Good thing I ordered in advance, eh? If you are going to do a take out here, my advice would be to skip ordering altogether, and just go there and get the slices yourself. They won't be too fresh, but at least it will be fast. Better yet, go across the street to Quincy Hall, (or over to Wise Guys) where they will bake the pizza to order and have it hot and ready when you arrive. Keep in mind here they charge $32 for a pizza, full price only. NOT worth it, won't be back, do not recommend.

I ordered a Margherita pizza for $13 and was not disappointed. It is a personal size pizza with 6 slices. To be clear, the pizza is high quality with fluffy dough and flavorful tomato sauce. The basil leaves were generous. The only reason for 4 stars was that there was so little mozzarella on this guy! For the pricepoint, you'd hope for a bit more. The mozzarella also is self contained so when it's gone, you feel like you are eating a marinara pizza... which isn't fun. So if you are a cheese lover, would pass.

Ordered it as a quick snack to share because at 3 for $10 it's a pretty good price in this food hall. The service was fine, though a little slow. Wasn't sure if this was made on the spot or just heated up, but they seemed to struggle with the timing (it's quite charred), so I wouldn't recommend if you like charred. Also worth mentioning that calling this an "empanadas" is a bit of a stretch given it's made out of pizza dough rather than a crispier flaky dough. The brisket inside was very tasty (and the main thing I wanted to try as I know they collaborate with others on it), but the pineapple chutney sauce? Not what I expected. It was like a sweet curry with a pineapple aftertaste :/ I was definitely expecting a more tangy or spicy sauce to go with the brisket and felt the sauce was a miss.

On Mondays and Tuesdays they host Trivia. On Saturday nights they do karaoke. There's also two dart boards as well. It's a place you can go and vibe and wind down after a day at work. I usually am a regular as I go on Tuesdays for Trivia night. I like that the tables have QR codes codes so you can order directly from the table on your phone. Of course if you prefer the old-fashioned way, you can ways go to the cash register by the bar and place and order. I've had the pizza before and it rocks! My go-to is the pepperoni pizza or sometimes if the pizza of the month sounds good I'll get a few slices of that. The standard pizza is very NY-style. But they also have Detroit style which is pretty great as well. I've also tried the nachos, pretzel, French fries, chicken park sub, and the chicken tenders. But I gotta say I really enjoy the pizza at Quincy Hall the most!
