Such a great local dinner spot! The waitress was very friendly and the food came out relatively fast! The aunt Donna pizza was so delicious as was the casa di yoli salad! There's a decent amount of vegetarian options here. read more

I made my first-ever visit to Yoli's on 885 this past fall. Growing up in the area, I have had Yoli's several times at different events or by take-out, but this was my first time dining in at the restaurant. Yoli's Cucina and Crafthouse is located at the intersection of State Route 885 and Payne Hill Road. The building has been other restaurants in the past, but Yoli's has occupied the space for nearly a decade. It is very easy to locate from the road. There is a private parking lot as well. This is not a heavy business/commercial area, so it's very easy to park and navigate into the restaurant. My visit was on a Friday night this past August. We chose to come after seeing a Facebook post about "Friday Night Lights," which was extended hours on select Friday nights when the TJ High School Football Team was playing at home. My family and I attended the game, and usually will try to find a pizza place to go to afterwards. Since we saw the post for this, we decided to give it a try. We left the football game a little early, and arrived to the restaurant around 9:15 PM. Since the game was barely over, we were one of the first few groups in. The longer we were there, the more people filtered in from the game. It was not completely full though, so no problem getting a seat at a table or the bar. There are plenty of seating options. The dining room has many four-top tables, some booths, and bar-height four-tops surrounding the bar. Of course, there are bar seats. In the back, there are also several longer tables. I assume this room can be rented out and/or reserved, but on this night they had it open for dine-in. As advertised on Facebook, there was a special menu for this after-hours time. It was a limited menu with $10 Pizzas, $10 Yoli Rolis, and $3 White Claws and Domestic Bottles, plus other items. We were not given regular menus, but instead papers that had the limited menu printed. It listed all of the different items, however, it had no descriptions. This was an issue for us, since we were not regulars of the restaurant. Our server acted really strange about this honestly, and would not give us a regular menu to look at when we requested it for the descriptions specifically. So instead, we had to literally ask her what was in every single sandwich, what all of the toppings available for the pizzas were, and any other specifics about any items. I understand in theory why they made the menu like this, but it should have included item descriptions. It makes sense that they do not want customers trying to order off of the regular menu, since they are not serving everything. But, eliminating descriptions is an issue. This was the first "Friday Night Lights" of the season, so it is possible that this improved for other ones moving forward. Following that confusion about the menu, we placed our orders. Our food was ready in about 25 minutes. My mom and I split an 8-Cut Mushroom Pizza. My fiancé ordered The Baller, which was a half-size meatball hoagie with marinara sauce and melted provonello cheese. My dad ordered The Drunk Fish, which was a half-size Yuengling battered haddock with melted provonello cheese, house greens, and house tartar. Both sandwiches came with fries. We each enjoyed our food. The pizza was more than enough for the two of us, and we even had some leftover to enjoy the next day. It is not super thick, but it is not a New York slice, either. A good in-between. Both of the sandwiches were okay, but the portions with the fries were generous. I personally liked the fries. Overall, we had no real complaints about the meal. Everything came out in a timely manner and prepared well. The value of our meal on this night was great. Some of us got some drinks, but for the food it was only $30 before tax. Hard to beat that, especially considering it was four adults. I appreciate them having these specials! The staff here was average, all considering. As detailed, not being able to see the descriptions for the menu items was really bizarre, and unhelpful from a customer service perspective. Otherwise, we had no issues with the service or our waitress. I am glad I got the chance to dine in at Yoli's! As stated, I have had their pizza many times, but never dined in. We had a positive experience overall, but as detailed there are some areas for improvement, specifically relating to the limited menu/after hours events. I hope they continue to have success with these, and improve on them for the future. In an area with very few locally-owned restaurants, it is nice that Yoli's is around and continues to be successful. I hope to come back to try more of their menu on a typical business day, especially the Yoli's Rolis. I believe the "Friday Night Lights" is an incredible idea, and promotes a better community. If you find yourself in the Century III/South Hills area, definitely give this restaurant a try! read more

Everything about this restaurant was wonderful except for the server....I think her names Jamie? She had this horribly strong perfume on. I was really hungry and it nauseated me. Idk im really sensitive to smells and get headaches. Anyways. The food was phenomenal. Would definitely recommend yolis to friends. Except maybe the waitress could lay off the perfume?? read more

Brought a large group for lunch on a Monday and the service was great. They had our table ready to go - and grabbed drinks for us as we sat down. We ordered cheese sticks and fried zucchini appetizers and both were good. Their entree and sandwiches were very large. Some ordered half sandwiches, and that was plenty. Their pepperoni rolls are delicious. The restaurant is a little dark, but the back room looked much brighter. They had another large group in that room. Pizza is also delicious. read more

We came to Yoli's for a celebration dinner for my brother's engagement. We came with a group of 25 and sat in the back room. Our server was attentive and really took care of us. The place is cozy with a dining and bar area. We ordered several pizzas as well as pasta, salad, and wings. Everything was really good. I really like Yoli's sauce. The owner, Benny is a great guy. read more

Back in my hometown and HS friends said we had to eat here and I'm so glad we did! From initial greeting, the homey Italian atmosphere and the top notch service from Alexia make this place special. Very special! Then comes the food?! The custom pizza was exceptionally well done, the crust is indescribable in a great way. The side salads assuredly could have been a meal on their own with an abundance of very fresh ingredients and the creamy parm salad dressing was divine. Also, the Coach Nola and Chicken Alla Danny got great reviews too. This establishment also serves alcohol. Additionally, I need to share this place is really affordable! You'll receive $$$$ food for $$ prices. Have I mentioned this place is great yet?! Yinz get my drift. This will definitely happen again when I return! Places like this are what keeps "Pittsburgh" special! read more

I am on crutches from an accident and this restaurant says that it is ada compliant. Unfortunately, when I tried to go to the restaurant, going through the front doors was very difficult, and worst of all they did not have any ada accessible bathrooms!!! How was anyone in my condition or heaven for bid in a wheelchair supposed to go to the bathroom??? Please remodel your restaurant before it gets reported to the state office of compliance. read more

I was surprised that the pizza was like the dough had been frozen. Not fresh. The hoagie had more bread than meat or other toppings and the drinks..........I think the Barardi bottle is holding some watered down odd tasting cheap rum. Not in a hurry to go back. read more

I've ordered their rolls to go and they are always spectacular but this is the first time I've eaten at the restaurant and it didn't disappoint! The homemade Sunday sauce is spectacular. I loved my ravioli dish, couldn't eat it all because of how big the salad was plus the bread they give you. It was still delicious the next day. Yum I want to go back! read more

Horrible, bartender had not even a full bar also had hat on so low in an already low lighted atmosphere. On top of that, she already can't even see her on top of the bar let alone her hat. My wife tried to ask for her attention quite a few times while I was on the phone with a business call. God forbid speak on a phone call while I'm out at a restaurant at the bar and the local patrons and listen and judge as if they are the podcast Queens. Then after trying to make nice with the server after asking her not once but twice to please be more attentive as I obviously more need more service. I was in flight or fight and I said here here real quick I have a tip for you and she treated it as if I was insulting her and again reiterated she's not gonna ask me to calm down again. While that was going on, I also sat there and watched a PREGNANT woman 20 minutes after getting her food stand there and wait for this bartender to give her some acknowledgment and finally after reading the room for too long she says her name out loud and you could just tell that this girl was like oh my God what now and all that pregnant lady was had to say was hey you know I miss you so much yeah I'm pregnant and then oh my God, let's be the fake failed 40 year-old plus bartender who's 4 foot two who can't see over the 4 foot eight bar and can't even accept two cents worth of kindness. Sorry for apologizing on getting on the wrong foot with the service. read more

Walking through the door, the first thing that came to mind was - clean. We arrived around 11:30 and had lunch here. I really wanted to try their pasta but it's only available after 3pm, so steak hoagie it was. The steak was not thinly sliced but more like steak chunks. It was tasty, topped with an aioli sauce and served with crispy fries. I'll return so I can try that Sunday sauce. read more

Family owned, Italian restaurant. They had a good bit of menu items to choose from, must of which was surrounded by homemade dough (which was really good) our sandwiches were ok, I felt like they could have had a little more toppings on them to be honest. Fries were great, and dessert was fantastic. We were a little disappointed with our $8 appetizer, which was 3 jalapeño peppers stuffed with cream cheese and had a little sliver of bacon on each. read more

First of all, where to even begin!? Everything is homemade. It feels like home. Our waitress was excellent! We went here for lunch and had our taste buds experiencing such amazing culinary excellence that we were speechless. My new favorite restaurant? Umm undoubtedly yes. We shared the Lobster Nachos and Chicken Alfredo nachos which were NEXT LEVEL good! The house salad with their homemade assortment of dressings was so fresh! The cannolis!! Wow, I am utterly speechless and hope to come back all the time. I'm now a new regular hands down. It's always hopping here for a reason and that reason is the mind blowing food and service! read more

Just happened by and stopped in for a late lunch and am really glad we did. Oven baked DiGregorio was amazing! Highly recommend.

Excellent local spot with a great Italian menu and a great beer menu. Highly recommend the stuffed peppers they are some of the best you'll ever have. I've had just about everything from here all the pastas are awesome as well. Bartenders and wait staff are all really personable as well. So yah be sure and check out Yolis read more

Service very slow. "Lobster bisque" more like thick tomato soup. No taste or lobster, either.

The food is very good, especially the rolis. And the marinara is delicious. The service is good. We love a reliable place that is so obviously well loved by the community. read more

Seated immediately as we had reservations for eight people. Seated in a back room with two other large groups, who were extremely loud. Food was great - when we were finally served, except one order that was forgotten- the five year old's, of course. Waitress was great though. read more

Awful service. Was in the restaurant a total of two hours and never got our entrees. For an hour, the server kept telling us they were just waiting for the pizza rolls my son ordered to be done. The server told us they had private parties going on and we would just have to wait, We left. Place is run by teens who seem to lack problem solving skills. Will not be back. read more

First time here. I've had the roli's from their other place multiple times and really enjoy them. Three of us visited tonight. Two of us had sandwiches and one had a dinner. The dinner was ravioli. There are four in a serving but they are HUGE. It came with a really nice salad and huge garlic bread. I had an Italian sandwich which was decent. I did tear off both ends of the roll as there was no meat or cheese at the ends. The roll was also toasted a bit too much for me and the inside of my gums are cut from biting into it. The other guy had the steak sandwich and a starter of roli's. He shared a roli and it was delicious. The bee was cheap and the folks were nice. The only reason I gave three stars was that they charged a fee for using a card. I did not know that before pulling my card out. I only noticed it when my final slip came to sign and it was a dollar higher than my original itemized bill. I just wish they would have said something so I knew. read more

Great food and good prices. Everything is good especially pizza and wings. Also good selection at the bar.

We went on a Saturday for an early dinner. Really liked the design of the place, and had very good service. Our meals, however, were hit or miss on quite a few things. To start, we tried the appetizer of the fried cheese. They were okay...a little thin, but they were okay. Also tried a cup of their wedding soup and the pasta fagioli. Really liked their soups! It was definitely worth trying them. I was REALLY impressed by the side salads. They were huge, and had a quality that I am not used to in just a regular dinner "side". They went the extra mile with their toppings, and didn't just have a regular cheap iceberg mix. So far.. things were going well. Then, we finally received some of the bread and dipping oil moments before our dinners came. Very good bread and dipping oil! Dinners arrived. After the experience we had so far, I would have expected way better. We ordered multiple things, and I will outline our issues with each item. First, the Pasta with Bolognese. Now, I know I am used to a red sauce for a bolognese. And, after discussing it with many people, it doesn't seem i'm the only one. What we received was a very watered down, literally "watery tasting", Hamburger Helper on top of noodles. Remember that creamy stuff you make from a box? It literally tasted like that, but a watered down version. It didn't even get eaten. Next, the Veal Milanese. The veal itself was okay, just very unseasoned. Could have used some salt or something. It was just very dry. Then, under it, a very WATERY, and again, WATERY tasting unseasoned sauce of some sort. After that, the Chicken Saltimbocca. The chicken itself was cooked okay, just very unseasoned, and relatively "empty" with regards to the cheese and prosciutto. And, again, a watery tasting lemon want-to-be sauce. What is with all the watery tasting stuff? The dinner side of pasta that came was extremely dry! There was some chunks of tomato in there, but literally very little sauce. The noodles were all dry. The beans and greens...were closer to a collard greens taste, with lots of garlic. I could taste vinegar. Not used to that type of favor with beans and greens. Kids got Butter and Parm noodles, Pasta, and chicken fingers with fries. The chicken fingers and fries were very good...but the pastas.... both came out extremely dry. The "butter and parm" noodles were legitimately plain noodles...there was no butter, and certainly no parm. The regular pasta was just as dry as the ones we were served as the dinner side. Kids would not eat either of these pastas, and that is saying something. For dessert, we tried the Tiramisu, the "Canookie" (giant chocolate chip cookies filled with cannoli cream), and the Italian Lemon Cake. The desserts were AWESOME. I will say the Tiramisu was one of the better ones I have had. And, the "Canookie" was freaking amazing. So, overall...we liked everything except the dinner items. Some of them were very "pretty", but It was very disappointing that almost everything we ordered was so mediocre. I cannot understand the bolognese, or the watery, unseasoned issues that we experienced. Feel free to see our pictures of what we received as far as the bolognese or chicken saltimbocca goes vs. what is in the other restaurant pictures. Super impressed by the desserts, though. read more

Best friendly service with the best food around. Check out their Lent menu. We'll worth it.

I really like this place! We started with the Brussel sprouts, which contain bacon and a balsamic glaze. They were cooked perfectly and delicious. Next, we had the Yoli pepperoni rolls and they come with a marinara sauce, very good. They have a ten dollar, one topping pizza during the week so we had to try that too and exceeded my expectations. We got a steak salad and that was awesome as well. The service was good and the place is a little dated but we'll definitely come back! read more

Mediocre food for high prices. I feel like patrons just take it because it's one of the few non-chain places around Jefferson Hills. My husband ordered wings and they were undercooked (second time for us on a carry out order). $24 for 12 wings is pretty absurd if it ends up having to be blasted in the microwave anyway. Some of the slices of pizza were more crust than sauce and toppings. Staff (mostly bartenders) are kind of just there, and some will hover over you while you sign for your carry out order. read more

The pizza was very good! The table beside us had the wings and they looked amazing! Meatball sub was good, but needed more sauce. I got a chicken entree and it was just okay. I think I'll stick to the pub food next time. The service wasn't that great. Took a while to get our food and our waitress wasn't that attentive. I'd give Yoli's another shot though! read more

This was awful. Service was slow. All of our food was cold when it was brought to us. The manager comped the meal but some of us did not eat. We were celebrating two birthdays so this was a real disappointment. I would not recommend this restaurant. read more

First time home in Pittsburgh in years and first time making it to this spot! I have known the owner Benny since we were kids but I'm giving him no favors!!! We got pizza, salads, wings and 4 different types of Rolis and EVERY BITE, tasted like home! If you ever moved away and come back you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Huge portions (full size wings), great prices and inside the restaurant is an awesome vibe! If you are in the area OR if you need catering and don't at least try this you are missing out!!!! read more

We tried Yoli's, a popular "local" place, for lunch. It was a little dark and dated, but that is fairly common for local places. We tried several dishes, including the hugely hyped Yoli rolls. They lived up to the hype. Being called "Sunday" sauce, I expected it to be richer. But it was a nice, fresh tasting sauce. The pizza came to the table piping hot and it was delicious. We took a lot home (because we ordered so many things to try), and it was just as delicious as leftovers for two days! My favorite was the steak salad. We just wanted to see what they do with salad there, and we were not disappointed. That's the dish that I will go back for! The Brussels sprouts were a tad underwhelming-they were over doused with balsamic, but that did not stop us from finishing them off! No problems with service. Food was served promptly and water glasses were kept filled. read more

Yoli's Cucina and Crafthouse is amazing and the food and service is always good. The entire staff is great and Jami is the best!

Great food. Most of the staff are great, there is one female waitstaff wanting to join a baseball game, I think, she threw our drinks and all plates on the table. Like really the plates were slid across the table. Bar staff is perfect! She waits tables and perfectly cares for the bar! read more

They charged me twice for the same meal. First charge of $30.98 for the wings then I added a tip of $9.00 and signed the paper.. What did they do they charged me again this time for $39.98 They don't care about their customers it's all about the Almighty dollar well this Gail and her friends and neighbors and everyone else I can badmouth this restaurant too.

1st time here. Food was great. And Erika's service was fantastic. Would defiantly recommend

Went here with family that really liked the food from their previous location. Interesting menu. Hard to choose between the pizzas and sandwiches, so many delicious options. Poor selection of draft beers. All crappy national beers. Wish they had some local craft beers on tap. Ordered bacon & sprouts and poppers appetizers. Bacon and baby Brussel sprouts with basalmic vinegar was outstanding and easily shared by 4 of us. Poppers were a bit disappointing as the peppers were not hot but we liked that they were baked and not fried. Sandwiches did not live up to the hype. Meatballs in the Baller sandwich were overcooked with weird hard spots in them. Fish sandwich was served without tartar sauce. "Cannookie" dessert was delicious and easily split between the four of us. I'd go back and skip the sandwiches to try the pizza. read more
