    Tastiest pizza in Portland! So glad we went with this choice they had so many intriguing topping options but ultimately the sausage and onion was the winner! Definitely want to try the margherita next time! Amazing service, thank you Kaelyn! Such comfy lighting and warm spaces!

    A Monday night when lots of places are closed, and a holiday, and in downtown Portland after 8pm; all things that could spell trouble when you're hungry! But we found Lazzari open, walked in and sat at the bar & ordered a wood-fired pizza with roasted pork, onions, yummy sauce and cheese. Jani was the bartender & was quick, pleasant & efficient. Two minor things: the crust got a bit more well-done than may have been necessary & the room was a bit chilly.

    Perfect late night spot. The food was amazing although the pizza and wings could've been better. The calamari was a hit every bite was juicy and crispy. The service was good too.

    We needed a late snack after getting in for our trip and this was one of the few options open past 12 on a Thursday night downtown. Not crowded but the pizza oven was going strong! We ordered the amatriciana pizza to split and it came out in less than 10 minutes. It was super delicious with a thin chewy crust and was the perfect size to share! The vibes are nice Italian restaurant with nice tables, real flowers but the music is very punk - fun vibe! If you are in need of some late night pizza I definitely recommend Lazzari.

    After my let down at Colettis Pizza Factory I needed to wash away the salt taste with a proper neapolitan style pie and I am so pumped that Lazzari was open before I ventured back to Jersey. Very cool spot with Brooklyn vibes. The pizza came out looking beautiful with fresh basil which I appreciate because sometimes the charred basil can be a bit bitter. Everything was good, I was pleased I just wish the dough had poofed a little more for the classic airy and light Neapolitan style crust but perhaps it was because I went in early in the day. Regardless, definitely worth giving it a shot. Thanks for restoring my faith in Maine pizza!

    Pepperoni Pizza with onions

    We love this place! By far one of our favorite pizza spots in the area. The wood fire oven pizza is always cooled to perfection. The service is always great and they are very helpful. The spot is fairly large, dark and plays great music. Perfect for a Friday/Saturday night. We got the Fried olives and ceaser salad. Two amazing starters from here. The olives come with a garlic aioli which matches perfectly! We got the pepperoni pizza with onions and the bolognese pizza. Both are perfect. The sauces are on point and the leoparding on the crust shows true effort into cooking these pizza. My personal favorite is the bolognese. The mix of the meat sauce with the crust and the cheese is something i would want to have every single day. They also have a pretty decent wine selection. Check this place out if you're able to. One of the best pizzas in Portland by far. You will not be disappointed. *this is only our opinion*

    Wow. My margherita pie, purchased as my consolation for waking up at 3a, had a superb crust. Thin and airy, lightly crisp, placed on a pad to help prevent sogginess, and not dense in the least. Gorgeous browning and charring, too. On a Friday night at 8p, absolute peak, takeout was still ready in 9 minutes. I'm on a solo weekend, though, and I would've really liked to soak in the ambiance. They wouldn't give tables to a solo diner, and when they offered the consolation of a bar seat, they seemed blissfully unaware that every one of them was taken.

    I have been here a few times and overall it's just average. The service is okay but lots of times they seem like you are bothering them. The food is alright but overpriced. Drinks are also pricey. The pizza is a hit or miss. They do have a large bar and lots of seating and a couple TVs to watch sports. They also serve food late night so if you are looking for pizza late night this is a good spot.

    Everytime I come here it's a delight. Food is always great. The calzone is to die for. Brought my friend here for his birthday the other night he loved it. Bartender get props too she makes a mean mocktail.

This time my husband and I brought a friend with us, which meant more sharing and trying a lot more of the menu. We started with the kale salad and the gnudi pasta, with the latter being the star of the night. The kale salad was delicious, incredibly light and refreshing. We accompanied these with some aperitifs from the never-ending and impressive cocktail menu. The gnudi pasta was listed as a main, but it made for an incredible app. For dinner, I ordered the tagliatelle, which was divine. My friend's rigatoni may have been the best out of all of the entrees, though. It was phenomenal. We finished our meal with dessert. It was this almond and fruit cake that was delish, although the dessert menu was a bit limited for what I expected. As always, the ambiance is just lovely. The dimly lit vibes make for a romantic and cozy time, especially during the winter. Our server was thoughtful and attentive and had great wine recs!

Reservations booked almost solid for days if not weeks, they do "allow" walk ins for high end bar seating. I was lucky to get a preferred bar seat that overlooked the theater of the cocktail creations at the center of the bar. Very entertaining indeed. Prior to that, we had to wait in line at the door before opening and then be assigned a specific seat. As one who hates standing in line for food and specifically avoids food trucks or food festivals for this reason, I was already slightly disagreeable. Obviously I would have had better humor with a long time reservation. Add to that, in order to park not too far away we street parked earlier and had to send one of us out to electronically feed the meter on this early evening experience. I do admit that the creative flavors of the dishes were appealing, if not a little too rich in dressings. I should have asked to have the dressing on the side of my lovely kale salad, but I WANT to trust the chef of a truly reputable high end establishment to not drown it. Still it was lemony delicious. The pea pesto was also creative , but again, slightly less sauce is MORE, it would keep me yearning for another bite. My partners steak was a bit chewy in the cut, we very much respected the bartenders suggestion that he have it rarer than he normally prefers. The potato "hash browns" (my quote) with horse radish sauce had a distinctive flavor and texture which was also crispy and delicious and allowed for a few bites each, again, super heavy on the sauce/ oil? Trendy techno play list was the background music and several tables were set for larger parties, so this does have a celebratory feel to it and you could easily spend your weekly pay check on an adult gathering here. Terrific wine list and stunning cocktails.

The cozy, romantic atmosphere made it easy to settle in for a long meal. Sitting by the window overlooking the street, it honestly felt like a scene out of an old romance set in a brownstone in NYC. There was so much to love about the food, too. The pasta tasted fresh and perfectly cooked, my pesto had a great balance of flavor, and both of our drinks were beautifully made. You can tell the kitchen puts care into the ingredients and preparation. Unfortunately, my husband's chicken parmesan came out undercooked. The chicken was clearly raw in the center. It was disappointing, especially on a special occasion, and food safety issues like that are hard to overlook. I do want to highlight that our waitress was outstanding. She noticed something was wrong from across the room and stepped in right away. She handled the situation with professionalism and kindness, and we truly appreciated her attentiveness. What left us surprised was that no one else came by to acknowledge what happened. With something as serious and easily preventable as raw chicken, we expected at least a brief apology or check-in from a manager. It was less about getting something for free and more about feeling taken care of after a pretty significant mistake. Overall, there were some really lovely parts of the experience, but the food issue and lack of follow-up made the night feel more mixed than we had hoped for a celebration dinner.

We liked it more than Scales which I think might be a less popular opinion. The ambiance was very rustic and cozy.

Thankfully they moved us to a corner/booth which was very nice of them. Even in the corner it was still a little cramped which is my reason for not giving it 5 stars. The pasta dish with lobster in a red sauce was divine. Full of other seafood in addition to the lobster like mussels and clams too. It was definitely messy but the flavor was fantastic. Tons of garlic which we love. The octopus appetizer was also delicious. Very charred which normally I wouldn't like but it worked very well with this dish. We also got hummus which was a special appetizer. It was ok- not very memorable. The desserts didn't appeal to us (maybe we were just too full). Would love to return if we find ourselves back in Portland!

It's unique and it's simple -- but the flavors created are something to keep coming back for. In my most recent visit, we had a pretty bad experience leading up to the pizzas actually being served. We had some friends visiting and decided to go to grab pizza after sending a small group back to the mainland on the 6 o'clock boat. Our order must have been placed maybe 5 or 10 minutes after 6... we weren't served our first pizza until after 8 PM. And our second pizza lagged behind that one by nearly 10 minutes. I can understand how, taken out of context, this can be seen as a petty complaint. However, it really was a discouraging experience because we had multiple (at least half a dozen) other groups order well after us and enjoy their entire dining experience all around us. The group ordering behind us enjoyed their pizzas, bottles of wine and chit chatted for nearly a half hour after their indulgences... and still rode off in their golf cart before our pizzas even made it into the oven. The part that really baffled me was that we took the opportunity to speak with the staff about what was causing the delay -- simply asking if our pizza order had been started or not yet and the explanation was "our team has made several mistakes this evening and we don't have a good estimate on how long it'll take for your pizzas to be ready". We got the same explanation after waiting for 45 minutes and again after nearly an hour and a half. It seemed like a pretty inadequate answer when their wood-fired oven was often not full of cooking pizzas and their entire staff was dancing to the music playing on their speakers. In the end... the pizza was good (same quality as expected). But my experience left something to be seriously desired.

The sauce was flavorful and the burrata was perfect.
