    Traveling through Warrendale and figured I'd let my American Express Resy Credit earn its keep (thanks, AmEx, for funding my pizza addiction). The service? Lightning fast -- I swear I barely had time to scroll halfway through my emails before the food hit the table. Perfect for someone on the move. The pizza? Solid. They've got specific selections, so it's kind of like a curated playlist -- you don't pick the songs, but you still end up bobbing your head. I went with the Sausage Pizza, and it didn't disappoint. In and out so quick I felt like I pulled off a lunchtime heist: pizza in hand, back to work, no witnesses. Would recommend if you like good pies, great service, and the feeling that your lunch break just beat the shot clock.

    We had a lovely dinner with excellent food and service. Our server Sophia was a rock star, and everything we ordered was a winner. The zucchini was breaded perfectly and tasted great. Cheese ravioli with meatball was excellent as was my shrimp pasta diavolo. It's not cheap here, but it was a wonderful meal.

    The wood fire pizzas are the best around! They just added a few new summer items that worth a repeat visit. The staff is incredibly kind and takes care of their guests.

    We made reservations for dinner for our Anniversary we started with Arancini and Beef Carpaccio both Antipasto's were delicious for dinner we had Cavatelli Rapini and IL Ragu both dinners were excellent for dessert we had Italian Lemon Cream Cake and New York Cheesecake Brulee so very good everything was delicious. We both had a glass of Prosecco. I highly recommend this Restaurant very delicious food and wait staff is excellent

    I said it before and I will keep on saying it. I'll Pizzaiolo is one of the best Italian restaurants I have ever eaten at. Come in and sit at the bar, enjoy a glass of wine and order one of their fresh pasta dishes. Sit back and enjoy... That is all you need to know! The food is phenomenal, the service is friendly and quick. I will be back again!

    Tagliatelle with Alfredo, peas and prosciutto was very good.

    My friends and I had a girl's night and tried Il Pizzaiolo. I hadn't been for years and they had never been. We really enjoyed it. We started out with the autumn mule which was really good. It's a bit pricey at $16 each. We only had one. My other friend had a beer. My friend enjoyed her ravioli with Marinara and ate the whole thing. My other friend enjoyed her pasta too but I can't remember what it was. I really enjoyed the tagliatelle with Alfredo and prosciutto. I wanted the raghu with red sauce but there was a misunderstanding. The prosciutto was delicious and the pasta and sauce was amazing. The waiter was very nice and patient. It took my friends time to review the menu and decide. He answered questions and gave recommendations. We appreciated it.

    The appetizer, bread, meals, wine and ambience was great! Service was excellent. The only thing that disappointed was the cheesecake. Everything else was fantastic.

    I would definitely recommend making a reservation for dinner, even during the week. It was so busy for a Thursday night, every table was filled! We were seated outside on the patio which was really nice. We had a great server too! The food came out in a reasonable time & our drinks were never empty. They give you bread with dipping oil and it was amazing! We started with the meatballs as an appetizer because I saw on Yelp that they were a must have. They definitely were, some of the best meatballs I've had in a long time! I had the Penne Rosa for dinner and it was pretty good. My friends really enjoyed their pasta dishes too. I had the chocolate gelato for dessert and oh my gosh, it was incredible! I'm still thinking about it. The only reason I'm taking a star off is because of the ambiance. It's a super nice restaurant, a little more upscale and no offense to the high schoolers working (food runners, server assistants) but their attitude/service doesn't really match the ambiance the restaurant is trying to go for. I feel bad saying that though :( Overall, would definitely return! I prefer this location compared to the Market Square location.

    Pappardelle with Mushrooms

    We enjoyed going to Il Pizzaiolo with a large group. The servers were great. We also liked their large comfy chairs. The pizza was a bit underwhelming and food was served a little slow. The pasta was great!! We all loved our pasta dishes and liked that they accommodated for removing meat on a Lenten Friday. The Pappardelle was by far the star dish of the night.

    Service was soooo slow. When the waitress was around she seemed hurried. Food was overpriced for the quality.

Each was perfectly seasoned and cooked, and I especially loved the "The White Buffalo" pie. And to top it off, friendly service again. Feel flvery lucky to have this spot close to home.

Ok this might be my very humble opinion after only trying once, but I…read moretruly believe the newly opened Vitalia Wood Fired Oven on Freedom Road is the best new pizza spot in Cranberry. It is, without a doubt, my new favorite pizza spot! Between being perfectly cooked at a high heat in the wood fired oven, the homemade dough and sauce, and the super fresh and quality toppings, this pizza outshines the other local places ten-fold. My experience with the service was also really great! I used the online ordering system which was easy and convenient. It gave an estimated time for pickup and confirmation text message. I arrived about 5-10 minutes early and was pleasantly surprised that I received a text saying my order was already ready. The owners/staff are also so friendly and I was in and out in a Jif. The newly renovated shop is super clean and nice with very Italian vibes and also has what appears to be imported Italian goods for sale (I didn't stay long enough to check it out but will next time). We really LOVED the pizza! The sweet and spicy pepperoni was soo good! We also got a plain cheese for our pickier kiddos and are really excited to try some of the other flavor options next time. Definitely add Vitalia to your go-to takeout spots to try especially for a busy weeknight dinner or to enjoy on the weekend. It might also be important to note it is a small shop and appears to be meant just for takeout and not a dine-in spot. Hope you try and enjoy as much I did!
