I love their Pizza. I heard awhile back that they make fresh cannolis . I brought two home 2 weeks ago & truth be told they were sensational. A trip to Trader Joe's now ends with a visit to Pizzaioli for a slice & now I order 2 cannolis for my wife & I to take home. Mike's Pastry in Boston's North End has met their match. All thats missing is mini chocolate chips &/or ground pistachios on the ends of the cannoli's. read more

Pizza by the slice. Thin. No real ambience to speak of it's an order quick and go or eat a bite and head out kind of place. Does the trick. The neighborhood is a little sketchy. read more

Came in while visiting for a convention. Will be coming back next time I'm in Portland, food was great and my friends loved their lavender lemonade cocktails, shout out Amaya on bar. read more

The pizza was delicious. We came here late at night and chose the porko to eat at the bar. The pizza was so thin and crispy. The staff are very nice. We saw a few locals come in. We definitely recommend Pizzaiolo if you're in town. The pizza joint and bar are the same. read more

Pizzaiolo - The Porko - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Maine

Apparently Pizzaiolo just recently opened up their new dining room and bar and I am very pleased about it! We stopped in for a quick slice and a drink. The bartender who helped us was great and it was apparently his first day! We got our slices quickly and they were awesome. I tried the white pepperoni which was the right amount of greasy. We also tried the garlic knots which were delish! Also very buttery and toasted to perfection. They run a daily special like a free slice with a drink on Sundays which means I will definitely be back! read more

We are in town on the way to Bar Harbor up north. We ventured into this establishment on our last night. The pizza was good I guess, the slices are huge and I had two. My wife only had one. The restaurant was clean and orderly. The staff was very efficient and operated a well oiled machine. Overall it was better then last place we dined at in Portland, Ma. Good luck , by the signs of things you're doing a good business!! read more

Pizzaiolo is an unique pizzeria with some mom and pop charm. The pizza was delicious, flavorful, and savory. The service was great, and the staff were friendly and outgoing. The restaurant was kid friendly and offered a wide selection of premium drinks and sodas. The kids loved it (9/10!!), and I enjoyed that they offered and served. read more

I didn't try the food but smells good! The service is really bad, this guys doesn't know what they doing. Always the waiting time is longer than the usual and the personal never ask about you need. read more

Fast service for a busy Sat. night. Ordered the buffalo chicken pizza w/bacon & requested ranch on the side - which they accommodated. Thin, crispy crust. Lots of buffalo sauce that had a decent kick. Yummy. Didn't grab photos this time. Had ordered before (photos attached) which was fabulously delicious also. Always delivery, so can't speak for the inside of the restaurant - but pizza has always been fantastic. read more

My husband and I are visiting from Los Angeles and were excited to try this spot after reading all the great reviews--and it absolutely did not disappoint! This is authentic New York style pizza, and you just can't find anything like it where we live. I ordered the White Stone Pizza and my husband had the Pepperoni--both nights! That's how good it was. The flavors were incredible, the crust was perfect, and everything was so fresh and satisfying. We were so impressed by the quality of the food and the welcoming service that we came back the very next day for our anniversary dinner! We love supporting local businesses, and we're so glad we found this gem. Huge thanks to Spencer and Austin for making our experience even better. Amazing!!! read more

Monday, February 23rd was the day of the blizzard. The blizzard kept me in Portland for another night. I walked around town a couple of times during the day and it was a ghost town. Even Starbucks was closed! I was getting a little concerned about dinner and I finally found Pizzaiolo. I called to confirm they were open and then started my trek on foot from the Hyatt. I got there and the gentleman said I could sit at the bar and asked if I'd like some slices brought over. So I ordered one slice of broccoli and one slice of mushroom. I walked next door to the bar and was greeted by the manager/bartender. She was busy, but still friendly and efficient. The slices came and I ordered a salad to go with them. It was HUGE, fresh and delicious. The slices were great too. Thin, but not too thin and not greasy. Very tasty. It was a great dinner and reprieve from the storm. I told her I appreciated them being open and I did!!! Oh, and they had a rerun of the Patriots/Bills game on the TV so I had something to entertain myself. Great, down to earth place. read more

Best pizza in Portland! Absolutely delicious pizza!! We had a 12" White Stone Spinach and a 12" Meatball Onion and Pepper pizza and they were perfect! It was delightful to see that the crust on the 12" pizzas were thin and crispy! You can taste the freshness of all ingredients! I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures but I definitely will next time!! Thank you Pizzaiolo! read more

We did order to pickup. Ordered ours half baked finished at our friend's house. Yummy to the pizza and salad

Fantastic pizza!! The white stone spinach pizza is amazing, that and a regular pepperoni are mine and my wife's go-to. Have not dined inside so I cannot comment on the service or ambience. But, I can say the staff I've dealt with are super friendly. They also have a very good website for online ordering. 5 Stars for sure read more

I had never been to this establishment and to the delight of my friends who recommended it, we popped in to get us some slices on a cold winters day. The interesting thing is when you first walk in, you are taking a time warp to New York city with people hanging out and it literally is like a scene from a movie. There really is not much seating (maybe 5-6 tables) but you really don't need it as you are in and out eating some slices (I had two) and probably don't need to relax and partake. The two slices that I got was pepperoni and ricotta and a slice with hanburg and mushroom. They bother were delicious and were pretty close in comparison to a New York style slice. The staff was super friendly and were having fun and made the experience a little better as there was a line of people getting some Za. We will be back again. read more

NY style pizza place. Casual. Not much room for dining in but if you're lucky enough to grab a table, do so. The employees are fun and cool. The salad was bright + colorful, fresh and a nice size. You can order by the slice, house specials or read more

My husband picked up a pizza from here we had never tried it he go a large cheese pizza the sauce was so. Bitter and hardly any cheese I did not like it at all they are expensive and all we got was cheese you would think they would put some on anyway we tried it won't go again read more

Pizza was really great, service on the other hand....rough. The kid behind the counter was either high as a kite or on his first day. He meant well but was so overwhelmed. We sat at the bar and didn't get service for 25 minutes and there were only 7 people at the bar. They "ran out" of glasses so we got the solo cup life for drinks. Pizza was amazing...when you got it. Great idea. Failure on the execution. read more

The pizza is absolutely immaculate, best pizza's in portland. Amazing Environment and service.

I grew up in NY eating thin crust slices. My brother lives in Portland and every time I visit, this pizzaria is a Must Have. Perfect crust, top tier sauce, great selection of toppings (but nothing frou frou). Staff is chill and friendly. Treat yourself! read more

Pizzaiolo - The view from the booth - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Maine

Pizzaiolo is in my top 3 pizza places in Portland. Love their pizza! I wish they had their own delivery drivers. The DoorDash driver carried our pizza from his car tipped on its side. All the toppings slid off of one entire side. Needed a fork, but it still tasted great! read more

After hitting some bars and eating small plates/ apps one recent evening, we suddenly found ourselves rather hungry as the night progressed. Around 11pm, Pizzaiolo was the only pizza delivery option for our hotel near Old Port. The White Spinach Pie with added basil was great! Very garlicy, very creamy from the generous ricotta, very fresh dough. Delivery in under 30 minutes was an added bonus. read more

Very decent late night pizza! Friendly staff, decent price, several options ready to go.

Great Pizza!!!! If you love thin crispy and flavorful pizza a must try. The service is wonderful ! read more

Love the traditional New York style pizza! I went in at lunch on a school day and no place to sit but got my slices to go

Best frickin pizza ,best meal we have had since we have been in Maine!! Patrick has a passion for making pizza and really knows how to take care of his customers!! This place is 5 star !! This should be the first place you come when you get to Portland!! read more

Portnoy has list credibility. This place has all the elements of a good slice and then you taste it and the first thing that hits your taste buds is how sweet the sauce is. This place is decent but given the price, i would say to pass over this one for other places. read more

We've been visiting Portland Maine for the last several days and I've had a lobster roll for every meal. However, on our last night we decided to make it simple and eat pizza. I am SO glad we chose Pizzaiolo. Not only was the pizza DELICIOUS but the staff was super friendly. We ordered The Bronx and it was exactly what we were looking for. The pizza was thin as advertised and cooked to perfection. read more

Pizzaiolo - Large The Bronx Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Maine

That was literally the worst pizza I have ever had. And I don't know why. I've ordered before and it was ok. But it was terrible. I'm so sorry. read more

We took our pizza and desserts to go. The sauce was delicious and we truly enjoyed our Bronx pie. We chose a cannoli and a Piña Colada Cheesecake. The cheesecake was the ultimate dessert! It was a blend of sweet and savory ingredients-coconut, pineapple and of course cream cheese. The cannoli tasted grainy but once it settled it tasted good. I would definitely return to this place and keep trying to find which is their best pizza pie. read more

This has been by favorite and go-to pizza spot for a few years now. Their pizza is insane, as is their garlic knots. And the service is always so friendly and prompt! Last night I had a few friends over and ordered two pizzas and two orders of garlic knots as delivery. SO. DELISH. paid over the phone via card and all was great. The pizza was delivered in probably half an hour-these guys are amazing- and I had my boyfriend go downstairs to grab it so I could continue entertaining upstairs. Ate the pizza, screamed about how delicious it was, etc. I went to bed and kept getting phone calls from one number. I was concerned that it was something related to my payment not going through or maybe there was some family emergency. It was this restaurant. On the third call at 10PM I answered. It was a guy from Pizzaiolo YELLING AT ME because my boyfriend hadn't tipped at the door. I apologized and said oh crap, sorry, miscommunication, please add a tip to it. My mistake, I'm sorry, it was an accident. Add some money. I tried to explain what happened and HE YELLED AT ME AND HUNG UP ON ME. Girl, that ain't how you run a business. I recognize we messed up on our end, definitely! I always tip at least 20%. But I tried to rectify it and he YELLED at me. Like, a scary sounding, threatening man called me several times at 10PM while I was trying to sleep. Effed up. I don't want to feel afraid of my pizza place. LOL. But now I do. No longer. read more

I am more familiar with the fresh quality slices. Inexpensive and beyond yummy. Excelllent dough, fresh. Tend to get spinach and ricotta. I have tried a large with friends but nothing like a slice. Attentive employees, respectful, etc. Love watching them flip the dough a skill I will never accomplish. However one evening I observed the owner, not speaking in a respectful manner to an employee. And the owner can sometimes be heard yelling from walk-in or backroom.It is small little place, maybe 6 sit down tables. Parking limited but reasonable worth trying. If I still had young children I would suggest take out. Would not bother with desert based on quality and cost value. read more

This pizza is thin, crispy and delicious. I love the sweet tomato sauce and my favorite slice is the hamburger with ricotta slices they occasionally do. Really all of them are great but the plain cheese, the pepperoni, the pepperoni with ricotta, the hamburger with ricotta, and the buffalo chicken are my personal favs. They're running a sweet Seize the Deal right now too - $25 for $50. I bought 4! read more

Pizzaiolo - Pizza Near Me - Portland, Maine

For a late night craving, they have good greasy pizza. From not being from the area we found some of the topping options a bit strange, but to each his own. It's definitely NY style thin crust. Fold it if you get it... Only way to eat it. It was good cold too, which is a must for me. We always have leftovers. We did have an issue with GrubHub, no fault of Pizzaiolo. The restaurant was very helpful in remaking the order. read more

We are staying overnight in Portland, Maine, while on a trip to visit all of the New England states so my wife can check them off her list (and our cats get to visit several new states for the first time as well). With this restaurant, we got New York style pizza, delivered to our hotel in about an hour (after reading some of the most recent reviews, which I hadn't read first before ordering or I might have reconsidered, I was worried we might not get our order, would have to wait extra long for the delivery, or that it might be wrong when we did get it). Thankfully once I had the pie in my hands, I found that I had nothing to worry about. The pizza had good crust, good sauce, good pepperoni, and good taste overall. This is pretty much what I expect when I think of New York pizza, though the outer crust was a little hard (it cut up the sides of my mouth pretty good!) while the rest of the pizza was a very slightly soggy from the pepperoni grease. It was still pretty warm when delivered, and the delivery guy was friendly. Was it worth around $30 after delivery charge, tax, and tip, for just one large pepperoni pizza with no extra sides (and not even plates or napkins included)? Probably not, in the long run, but I would not rule out ordering from this place again. It was pretty good overall. All of us that partook in the devouring of the pizza really enjoyed it. I would say 4.5 stars overall, as it wasn't the absolute best pizza I've ever eaten, but it was definitely better than I was anticipating. read more

I have been a loyal customer for close to three years, since moving to the area. Imagine my horror to step up to the register and be told that my 16 inch white stone pizza had gone up to 38 bucks with tax. The 10 dollar price increase is just not worth going back for the pizza. Sorry. The owner's dad stated that the increase was due to the higher cost of their printed pizza boxes. It seems to be a stretch. I'm not paying 38 bucks for your boxes. read more
