The pizza here was really good. It's a light, thin but fluffy crust. The one I choose was a white sauce mushroom pizza and I could taste the high quality of the ingredients. Cheese was fresh, crust had a decent flavor. Service was friendly. They have a nice space inside too. read more

Masullo definitely gives off upscale Italian restaurant vibes, and the prices reflect that. Unfortunately, for me, the food didn't quite live up to the experience. We ordered the three-meat pizza, a meatball, and the rosemary bread. The pizza was honestly pretty bland and lacked the flavor I was expecting, and the meatball was the same. The rosemary bread was the one thing I really enjoyed, although I wasn't a fan of the flavor of the oil that came with it. Our server was nice, but there were a couple of issues with our order. Two things were forgotten for the table, including my pizza. When I asked whether it had been put in, he realized it hadn't and went ahead and ordered it. He came back to let me know, but at that point, I wish he had checked with me first. My friends had already finished their meals, so I would have just told him to skip the pizza rather than have it come out after everyone else was done. I also had my teenager with me, and they didn't enjoy any of the food we ordered. I'm glad we gave Masullo a try, but between the price point, the lack of flavor, and the service mishap, it just wasn't a place that made me want to come back. Worth trying once if you're curious, but it wasn't for me. read more

Came in during the week to celebrate our last meal as a party of 2 and boy we were not disappointed. We stared with a nice kale salad and a all meat pizza. It was delicious and fresh! The service was great and I loved the ambiance of the place very open and cozy at the same time! read more

Pizza was just ok. Service was really lacking, understaffed. Servers were nice but only two of them. The "daily pasta" was horrible, bland boiled noodles with boiled arugula-weird and tasteless. We ordered 2 pizzas, 2 pastas and 2 salads. The pizza crusts were light and the selections are a little unique but nothing I would go back for. If they're gonna charge fancy sit down prices they need to provide better service because the food is just average and expensive for what you get. When it first opened, it was better but the food doesn't taste as elevated as before and servers would make it a better experience. read more

So the kiddo was in town from the Navy and she along with one of my other daughters has always been my "foodie" partner in crime.Always pushing to try new places,always pushing my boundaries-it's a good thing to have in life.Well this particular visit was coming to an end and we had one last meal together and she wanted pizza,but she knew what buttons to push with me when she was like,"I don't want pizza that I had before" -So I had to go thru my foodie rolodex and I remembered a spot that I've always cherished and held in high regard but had never taken her-I decided on Masullo on Riverside Blvd. That particular day everyone was being lazy and didn't actually want to go out so I decided to call in my order and just pick it up.I know at times in the past in their busiest times they sometimes don't take to-go orders,so I was relieved when I called them and they were able to take my order.There were 3 of us eating so decided to go with 2 pizzas-The American($22.00) which is basically mozzarella and pepperoni and the 3 Meats(($25.00) which is mozzarella ,ricotta,salami,sausage & mortadella. Parking at this location is pretty thin but luckily I was able to snag a spot at the business next door as it was a Sunday evening and they were closed. When I got there at the time they told me my food was ready,it wasn't quite ready but that was ok,they offered me water while I waited and it gave me a little time to look around,as it's been a bit since I'd been there.Masullo is an interesting restaurant,it's for sure not like a family friendly place per se,it's much more like "date-night" vibes for sure but not like a place for celebration,it's much more intimate-if I was a person still in the dating scene-I would definitely choose this place as a first date spot-it has that kind of feel for sure but it's still casual somehow. After a short wait-I got my pizza and man did they look and smell good-I got to admit I had to grab a slice once I got into the car-I couldn't helped myself-1st 5 minutes of a pizza is yummy. Once I got in and we dug in,I was reminded of why I love their pizza so much and to me why they are in contention for best pizza spot in the entire city.Their pizzas are smaller than you would expect,kind of like a super-sized personal pizza,so the slices are smaller-but the quality of the ingredients and the authentic Neapolitan wood-fired pizza style they use to make their pizzas are just perfection. I will admit-the 2 pizzas I chose were not very creative-they have an ingredient list that is so creative if one wanted to try some unique combos-but for some reason I've just stuck to the same pizzas every time I ordered. I saw on the menu that they also have pastas-salads & desserts but I have never indulged into those items.They also have a pretty extensive wine list. Elephant in the room of course is the cost-this isn't a cheap place,$25 for basically a personal pizza isn't cheap but the quality of the pizza and the charm and ambience of the place make it all seem worth it in my books-not every week but whenever the time is right-this is definitely on the list of places I have happily taken my wife on our date nights and will continue to do so. In closing If your ever want to try a really good pizza spot that's most likely different than your regular pizza spot-I would fully recommend heading down to Masullo to enjoy one of their great pizza creations-you won't regret it. PS-My foodie daughter who tried Masullo out for the first time with this visit really loved it and was irritated with me for "gatekeeping" one of the best pizza spots in Sacramento-kids these days I tell ya. read more

Do you want to eat cold, bland pizza that costs too much inside of an aircraft engine? Then this is place for you. It was so loud in there. Prohibitively so. Avoid! read more

My first time visiting Masullo was on a Saturday night, the inside doesn't have a ton of seating but we were seated pretty quickly. Service was friendly, they had a computer issue while we were there so it took awhile for our pizzas to arrive. Pizza was good, I really loved the crust. They break the menu down to pizzas with and without tomato sauce. We tried the 3 meats (with tomato sauce) and it was my favorite, the tomato sauce definitely added good flavor. We had 2 without tomato sauce: the Jaqueline which was a potato pizza with fontina and bacon, I also enjoyed, something different. And the Rosanna which was fig and bacon, when you got a bite with both fig and bacon it was tasty, but just fig by itself or no toppings left something to be desired. Both pizzas without tomato sauce felt they were lacking a third component to make them better balanced, but we still enjoyed them. I would definitely come back to try more tomato sauce pizzas! read more

I hadn't been here in years, but it was just as good as I remembered, if not better. Lots of new options, friendly staff, great ambiance, and very clean. I love that they refrigerate the condiments. Food is very tasty/fresh ingredients. Can't wait to come back! read more

How have I not heard of this awesome place in Land Park!? My son bought home a couple slices of leftover pizza and I was shocked that the crust was legit! It reminds me of New York pizzas! I had to bring my foodie friend to try this place! We arrived at noon on Saturday when they just opened and the place is still quiet with plenty of open tables. I really like the ambience. It's open concept with wood fire oven in the back where they cook the delicious pizzas! The menu is simple but sufficient. I hate complicated menus, so that works for me. I'm told the Pork and Beef Meatball appetizer is a must try. It's one large meatball per order. We shared it but I can totally eat this by myself with a slice of bread to soak up the tomato sauce. Comfort homie dish! We also order the Arugula Salads to offset the carbs. Great simple salad with fresh ingredients. Perfect amount of lemon vinaigrette. They have 5 choices of pizzas with tomato sauce and 7 choices of pizzas without tomato sauce. We went with Elisa (with sauce), which has Mozzarella, Toscano Salame, Fennel, Onion, Oregano, Pecorino Romano. The toppings are light and I love the thin crust. I need to come back to try the pizzas without the tomato sauce. They also have a couple of pasta and a nice selection of red wines. I can see myself come back for dinner with few friends and share a bottle of wine and couple of pizzas. Perfect casual weeknight dinner or weekend lunch spot! Oh, they also have a nice size private room for parties. Great place for birthdays or baby shower. read more

Masullo is one of the less spoken about pizza giants of Sacramento. Been wanting to try them for a while bc it's been highly recommended by friends (and reddit) The quality, fresh, local ingredients that really shines through the food. We ordered: * Rosemary Bread ($8) + dipping oil ($2) - SO FLUFFY. Loved it. * Daily Pasta ($17?) - roasted eggplant, cherry tomatoes, garlic. At first I thought it was bland but it grew on me! * Rosanna - seasonal ($22) - I looooved this. The sweetness from the fresh peaches went so well with the saltiness of the mozzarella/pancetta * Eileen ($23) - a great savory pizza, the mushrooms make it real earthy - Prosecco ($12) - Cider ($7) Some people have called it bland, and if you're craving a thick slice of American pizza with ranch, then I can see why! But if you enjoy crispy crusts with the charred bubbles and the taste of fresh, cracked pepper, you'll love Masullo Server was nice and let us know there might be a bit of a lag with service because they were training someone, but we barely noticed! Food runners and servers were all helpful and friendly The restaurant is quite loud due to the industrial-style. I wouldn't necessarily call it a "fancy date night" restaurant but it's still amazing for dates! I would probably prefer to take a group of friends there read more

What a hidden gem in Land Park! We ordered the Elisa and the Paolo pizzas, and both were so delicious. I especially loved the Paolo pizza--the salami was perfect, and they served it with their version of chili oil that had just the right amount of spice. Adding that chili oil to the pizza really elevated the flavors. We also tried the arugula salad with fennel and lemon vinaigrette, and it was amazing. I've never had a lemon vinaigrette before, and it was so refreshing--the lemon ratio was spot on, giving brightness without being overwhelming. The fennel was balanced beautifully, adding flavor without overpowering the salad, and the roasted almond slices gave it a great crunch. The ambiance here is minimalist yet very nice, with a cozy, casual vibe. There are benches and tables, and they even have a private room that can seat around 15 people, which would be perfect for a dinner party. I really appreciated the little touches--real forks and cloth napkins--that made the dining experience feel special. The staff were very friendly and helpful, which made everything even better. Overall, Masulo is a true neighborhood gem, and I highly recommend checking it out if you're in the area read more

Came here on a Saturday evening, and was seated right away. We started off with the Summer Burger salad which was flavorful with a briny creamy dressing. Next came the Lori pizza with red sauce base, sausage, oyster mushrooms, and chili Oil; the pizza has a heartiness to it with a pleasant mild spice. Our second pie was the Mustapha. Mozzarella, prosciutto, arugula, shaved grana padano, and drizzled with olive oil. Great combination but I do wish there was more prosciutto, to balance out the bitterness from the arugula. Masullo is a fun neighborhood spot, serving up good pizza. Definitely plan on coming back and trying the other pizzas on the menu. read more

It's not your typical pizza place. It's so much better. Thin crust, quality ingredients and cooked to perfection in a wood fire oven. I have been eating here since the beginning and one thing that has never changed is how consistently perfect the food is every time. Not even during the pandemic when they were limited to take out only. All of the wait staff have always been kind and welcoming. Happy to chat about the menu, answer questions and offer guidance. The restaurant has grown over the years. Offering plenty of seating inside and a few tables outside as well. I love when the place is packed and you get to enjoy the bustle of local families and friends having a good time! read more

Place was understaffed with only two waiters who were clearly overworked. We had to wait even when half the tables were available. This unacceptable for higher end establishment to do. The pasta of the day was just boiled pasta noodles and boiled arugula. Supposedly there was some lemon juice sauce but there was so little sauce that pasta looked plain. I don't know who thought it was acceptable for it to be on the menu. Luckily we were able to get it comped. The salad was solid but small and we ordered the shareable portion The potato slices on the potato pizza were undercooked. Also all the chefs looked really young. Not one person looked over the age of 35. Essentially, this place is the cheap pizza place you went to in college dressed up as a higher end pizza place with increased prices to match. read more

Great neighborhood spot, decently busy for a Friday night but we were seating pretty quickly. Everything we ordered was very fresh, great quality and super tasty. The sourdough rosemary bread came with with olive oil from a local business, and was pillowy and delicious. We ordered a 3 meat pizza and a pesto pizza, both of which were SO tasty. Chili oil, fresh pepper flakes, and grana padano cheese (actually real cheese in the shaker kept in the fridge). We finished dinner with a lemon posset dessert, served in a little mason jar. Super tasty and simple! Overall a great meal, we will definitely be back. Only downside is the open concept restaurant means it can get pretty loud inside, but not a huge deal. read more

We've been trying new places in the area to give a break from our usual spot Benji's. Benji's is overly priced but the quality is 10/10. We are always looking to try new Neapolitan, wood fire pizza and these great reviews reeled us in! The prices are reasonable but after picking up 2 pizzas last night (Margherita and Eileen) I don't think we'll be back again for their pizza. The service was great. Friendly staff and little to no wait time. Order was ready within 15 minutes. I see the reviews here are mostly 5 stars but these two pizzas were lacking in flavor, quality ingredients and left us both hungry. You get what you pay for I suppose. Maybe we'll come back and try their non-pizza items but this trip was just for the pizza which was very underwhelming. read more

The service and food was absolutely amazing. Our server Allison made the experience that much better. The ambiance was chill and laidback. My partner and I loved it. Great date night spot. Not too busy on a Friday night. We loved it. read more

This place has amazing pizza. It's the only thing I've had here but it's a very good Neapolitan style pizza. We usually just get the American which is pepperoni. My nitpick would be these are small pizzas. Usually get 2-3 pizzas at a time and price adds up fast. For pizza in the Sacramento area this is definitely a top 5 spot for me. Give it a try if you haven't yet. A solid 8.1 pizza! read more

We love coming here! Pizza is so delicious and high quality. Crust is chefs kiss! Simple menu. Service is always nice. Depending on your appetite you can share a pizza or eat it all by yourself!

Always reliably delicious. Great waitstaff, amazing food. The pizzas are handcrafted, none of that frozen junk, and baked to perfection.

Wood fire goodness. Just around the corner from home, the family and I have been meaning to try this place for a while but haven't had the chance to until a couple weeks ago. We've always heard great things about this place and after our first time there -- i can definitely agree with the reviews. As newbies we decided to get a trifecta of carbs, carbs and more carbs, none that we'd later regret. For starters we had the rosemary bread and dipping oil, it was about what you'd expect, the bread was moist and flavorful. The pizza itself was great, it was the right amount of everything promised -- don't forget to douse it in chili oil. The grand finale was the oatmeal ice cream sandwich with a nice hefty portion of Vic's ice cream in each bite it was a nice way to send us off. Overall, the food was great and delivered as promised. I will say that the prices are about what you'd expect for a downtown/midtown restaurant -- just comes with the territory. 4-stars it is, go give it a try! read more

We love everything about Masullo's from the welcoming and gracious service to the live-edge wood tables, and of course the long family tradition that is so evident throughout. The menu is straight forward. This place is all about pizza. Fresh ingredients and the most delicious thin crust. Pair with a salad and an appetizer and you've got yourself a fabulous meal. The spinach appetizer and arugula salad are tasty and delicious and with prices so reasonable you can try two pizzas and have room for leftovers. Enjoy! read more

I am absolutely shocked by the lack of flavor in the food here. This place is incredibly over hyped! I had a salad, meatballs, and a pizza. The staff was nice though! read more

The best pizza I have ever had in my life! We ordered the rosemary bread to start as an appetizer with the olive oil. Then had the Elisa and Margherita pizza for the main course along with the guava sour and siciliana blood orange soda. For the rosemary bread, we savored every bite and we tried to stop to save room for our stomachs for the main course but we couldn't help ourselves... Is it bad to say this beats the pizza I had in Italy? lol. I love the crust, the perfect crunch along with the layers of the sauce and toppings. Not an overwhelming amount of sauce, and the size of the crust was just right. The chewiness with the touch of crunch... just everything tasted fresh. You can tell they make it with so much love. Jeffrey our waiter was so friendly, funny, and attentive to our needs. We enjoyed his company and the candidness. He also let me know that you can host a party in their private room I'm not sure to the maximum capacity but it looked to be between 30-50 folks? So that's something that we will consider later on. So delicious! We had to go up to the pizza artisans to thank them personally. We will be back! read more

Most definitely the best pizza in town. Especially if you like brick oven style, the crust is fabulous, really light, bit of chew, and flavorful. Toppings excellent, the meat was clearly high quality, sauce yum. We also had an apple seasonal and 2 of us loved it, one meh and one absolutely no too sweet. Decent beer and other drink selection. Dessert we shared a lemon mousse thing and it was good but too expensive for a tiny jar with no toppings/fruit anything. I am taking off a star cause I really didn't like the ambience, it's so loud/sterile/cold. Get some plants or art or something! But would def be back for the great pizza read more

It was our first time at Masullo! We really enjoyed everything we ate here. Super delicious pizza and we enjoyed the arugula salad, too. The vibe is mixed because it seems very casual but the food and service is a bit more upscale - and the price feels upscale, too. The food was worthy of date night, but I do wish the atmosphere had a cozier feel instead of more of an industrial feel. I would definitely come back again though. I also saw that they have a private room for parties, so that's worth considering too. read more

Delicious! . One of our favorites! We've recently tried a pizza that had peach slices and goat cheese on it. Absolutely delicious

Service was great! My girlfriends and I went right when they opened and got to pick where we sat. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful for our first time there and let us know they do half/half pizzas and which were the most popular. The pizza was delicious and I highly recommend getting the Abby. The Fuji apple was very unique. He knew a lot about the wine selection and even let my friend sample before choosing which to order. It slowly got busier towards dinner time and by 6:30ish there was a line out the door. read more

Such a warm and welcoming place! It's modern design mixed with a large communal table gracing the middle of the interior - a cross section of a large tree, polished to reveal its' beauty - help make Masullo more than just a typical pizza place.

The Elise was tasty as usual (my favorite) and my husband had the Pepperoni. Baked perfectly, and with fresh mozzarella, uncured meat, and fresh toppings, I love it. So do my friends and family. The staff is attentive and helpful. A+++++ read more

I've been here a few times and have been very impressed with the quality of the food. It is super fresh and they offer seasonal items that are delicious. The quality of their pizza is consistent and you don't feel heavy after eating an entire pizza! We also love the Calabrian olive oil, it emulated a similar oil I had in Italy. The service was excellent, our waiter was very attentive and everyone is extremely friendly. The overall mood of the restaurant is chill and pleasant to be in. The pizza oven fire is great background and the ambiance is inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant for a nice evening! read more

Amazing place. Can't believe it's been here for 17 years and I just learned about it. Hand-crafted thin crust pizzas that are absolutely some of the best I've ever had. One pizza is fine for 2 people who want delicious food without being stuffed. Simple and wholesome ingredients, some with tomato sauce, some without. Simple wine and beer selection (Imports in bottles) but tasty. Desserts are home-made and stupendous. Try the Lemon Potet or the ice cream cookies; both should be shared. (Whiskey balls will be on the next visit.) Finally, the wait staff is amazingly attentive without being intrusive. Very friendly and helpful. Not much in the way of ambiance but who cares? I'll be going back and back and. . . . read more

Omg I ate every bit of pizza that I put on my plate. It was so good and thin it wasn't too filling to the point that I was stuffed but I believe could easily eat an entire pizza alone and still have room for dessert. So thin and crispy; the crust.... Chef kiss. I was there with my son, mom and niece. We had the Margarita, American and Elisa!!! Amazing!! My son had about 5 or 6 slices. The place is so casual and roomy. There is even a private dining room. I wish I took pictures but by the time I thought of it the pizza was gone. read more

The restaurant ambiance is open with well-spaced tables with a bit of a museum-quality with its floor-to-ceiling windows in the front, white walls, white brick wall, and no music. We stopped by on a Sunday evening - which was great from a parking perspective. There are only a handful of parking spaces in front of the restaurant so we ended up parking at the front of the closed business next door. Our waitress was attentive and engaging. Everything we tried was outstanding. From the three appetizers to the pizza and the dessert. We loved the tender meatball, mixed green salad, and spinach & burrata appetizers. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The Margherita pizza was amazing: great sauce, fresh mozzarella, and the dough had such a fantastic texture. We would've loved a few more basil and a heavier hand with the salt though. For dessert, we shared a silky smooth lemon possete and decaf coffee. I had to look up a recipe for lemon possete so I could make it at home. I didn't even know such a beautiful dessert existed! read more

I think I'd go insane if Masullo went out of business. Slowly, the pizza offerings in Sacramento are less and less. The style of average pizza has changed drastically: seems the style is either bready/soggy, using poor quality ingredients (all nitrate-filled meat, bad cheese) or caters to those who like curry on their pizza (five of those within 3 miles!) Masullo uses quality ingredients, and their pizza crust is thin and flavorful thanks to the wood-fired pizza oven. Their pasta and salad offerings are always unique and also feature the freshest ingredients. Their desserts are simple yet first-rate. The servers are knowledgeable about the food and are also fans of the food. They are friendly, down to earth people who love food. I appreciate that they use local sources for their ingredients. Their pizza sauce truly tastes of fresh tomato with simple herbs and olive oil, or the white sauce is also creamy yet not heavy. The individual size pizzas are plenty for two adults. My favorite Pizza is the Elise, which has uncured Toscano salami, red sauce, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, fresh fennel greens. It is satisfying food, free from unnecessary chemicals and additives. The restaurant has a casual yet classy style, clean and spacious. The prices are reasonable for quality food and service. They can be busy, but it's possible to order ahead of time. Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest and may require a 15-20 minute wait. I'm not sure why other businesses cannot offer quality pizza. I know others exist but are primarily downtown/midtown, a bit too far away for many parts of this city. I still make an effort to go when I can. Masullo is a treasure! read more
