I ordered catering for a small office party. The customer service was top notch from the initial phone call to order delivery. My staff loved the food and we were able to accommodate various dietary restrictions and allergies. read more

Definitely seems like a spot that neighbors and locals would enjoy. It was nice to try the spot out, but didn't find anything particularly noteworthy or amazing with the food items. I did enjoy the calamari and white pizza, since I just like those dishes in general, but would say the other items weren't that flavourful/jaw dropping. The tiramisu was pretty standard too. Probably a one and done kind of place for me. The spot was pretty crowded and cramped, so seems like a popular restaurant. Service was friendly though! read more

Decent pizza. Thin crust, crispy, with peperoni but w sausage, onion, and green pepper a bit too much ingredients and a bit soggy. Really liked the sauce on peperoni pie. Pizzas are person size. read more

I got takeout for the first time from Pie-Tanza last night and it was great! I got the gluten free penne with spicy sausage. Wasn't too spicy, which I like. My boyfriend raved about the baked ziti. The tiramisu was good too! We will definitely be going back! read more

I stopped into Pie-tanza for dinner. The restaurant was pretty empty. I had a hard time deciding what to order so I just opted for one of the wood fire pizzas and ordered the spaghetti and meatballs to go. The pizza did not take long to come out at all. The pizza was good. I would have preferred a little more sweeter sauce where this sauce is more tangy. The pepperoni is more of the deli style then the pepperoni cups. The spaghetti and meatballs did not have a ton of sauce. The meatballs were a decent size and where flavorful. If I was in the area again, I would check it out. read more

Always, always delicious food. Always remarkably generous portions. Always friendly servers and staff. Always shocked by how reasonable the prices are. They deserve six stars, not just five! read more

The worst service I have ever experienced in Arlington or anywhere for that matter. The food is mediocre mall food court quality.

Pretty average as far as pizza goes. The sausage seemed a bit bland to me, pie ingredients chaos garnished (meat all on one side). Crust slightly too thin and crispy for my liking. It tasted okay, but nothing to scream home about. Portion is perfect for one person, provided that is your only order. The cheese appetizers are good, I mean how can you go wrong with deep fried cheese? The goat cheese balls do come on an insane bed of lettuce though, so it could in and of itself be an entree. The side (app) salads are huge and would probably work as a whole meal. Delicious, but I can't imagine how big the full size one is! Nice ambiance. Fair amount of kids and crowded on a weeknight. Big shout to our server Chloe who is the model for wonderful and friendly service. If I ever come back, I'd ask for her section. read more

pie-tanza - Veggie and chicken - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Good family-friendly restaurant with wood-fired NY style pizza, but NOT Neapolitan. The ginormous charred pizza pies have a nice crunchy crust. The creamy White Sauce pizza with onion and thyme was more flavorful than the Cheese pizza. The pizza shake with oregano and fontina cheese overpowered the Cheese pizza. The cheese congealed pretty quickly and the pizza became tepid after 5 minutes. It was a bit disappointing to be served a can of Lambrusco instead of from a fresh bottle in a glass. There was a large assortment of flavored sangria and non-alcoholic bubbly sodas. The service was great and very accommodating towards my rambunctious family with a toddler and a baby throwing food from a high chair (we left a generous tip!). If you enjoy NY style pizza, you'll enjoy Pie-tanza. It was nice to support the small family business, but I prefer Neapolitan pizza at Modo Mia right across the street from the shopping plaza. read more

Great customer service, which is why I am giving 3 stars, the food would be 2. When you are making Italian food, the details matter. I ordered the chicken parm, and it was a huge serving, but bigger isn't always better. The chicken breasts were too thick, under-seasoned, dry and the breading was mushy. The spaghetti on the side was overcooked and lacked salt (two VERY simple details that every Italian restaurant should get right- season the water properly and cook the pasta in the proper amount of time). The sauce was canned tomatoes, which would be okay if they were good canned tomatoes. The stewed tomato pieces were off putting. Focus on cooking technique or higher quality ingredients and maybe less quantity. I have eaten here before and liked it, but have no desire to return after this latest trip. It's a shame, we kind of dig the ambiance and location, but the food needs some attention to detail. read more

A true Arlington staple. I've been getting the margherita for over ten years-- it is one of my comfort foods. The sauce and crust are amazing. read more

This is probably a 3.5 stars. Really lovely ambiance but they pack the tables in very close together so it does get a bit claustrophobic. Service was slow, a little haphazard but friendly. We waited a really long time for our drinks and food. Kids pizza was brought out last- we had to keep asking for it. The pizza itself if just fine. Nothing amazing about the flavor or toppings but a decent meal. read more

Family friendly Italian restaurant. Polite and attentive staff. Great wood fired pizza.

This place has great food, and the service has always been great. Would highly recommend this place.

A friend recommended this place to me and I'm glad she did. First off...the food. I'm a fan of thin crust pizza and the pizza I ordered had a nice charred crispy to it and the rich tomato sauce was pleasant. I'm also a sucker for apples and cinnamon, so I decided to try their warm apple caramel pie, which was served a la mode with vanilla bean ice cream. Was a little disappointed by this dessert because I thought it was rather bland. Nevertheless, it wasn't the terrible, so I ate most of it. Secondly, the service was attentive and not overbearing. My server was friendly and greeted me right away when she noticed me standing by the host stand without a host/hostess in sight. Last but not least, the ambiance was cozy, casual, and comfortable. I like the fact that they had chalk boards with menu items. Nice touch to add to the welcoming atmosphere. Pizza: 9/10 Warm caramel apple pie: 6/10 read more

Love the pizza here I've been going here for 9+ years now. But today was the first time I got a PIZZA MAKING KIT!! cutest date night I had with my fiancée got the 3 pizza pie kit (comes with 4 doughs) and got pepperoni and sausage toppings! Completely recommend so fun! I put the pizzas in the oven at 425 degrees F, for about 10min. Also we super appreciate the 4th dough, that's how we found out the exact time we needed to take out the pizza perfect amount of cheese, toppings and sauce!! read more

The food here is genuinely very good - far better than the average neighborhood pizza restaurant in my opinion.

Great casual spot perfect for family and friends. They also regularly host fundraisers for the community as well - an added bonus! I came hear with a group of coworkers and the food was quick and tasty and they had a great selection of pizza, subs, salads, and other good food. The portions were a good size and prices were very reasonable. It is also located near a number of other restaurants and stores in case you want to bundle activities. read more

Pie-Tanza is a family friendly restaurant that offers a great lunch special on weekdays. For about $12, you can get a 10" pizza and a drink. The pizzas are made in a wood-burning oven in the middle of the restaurant. I tried the pesto and sweet tomato pizza and really enjoyed it. read more

I've been to this restaurant perhaps a dozen times over the last few years. It has always been a marginal value. Then, yesterday, I ordered a chicken parmesan sub, about $13. I asked for a little extra tomato sauce on it and asked if they have any of those hoagie peppers. They did not but said they would put a couple of porcini peppers on it. It came with a side and I thought I read that the sides were included. I was somewhat surprised when the bill came to something like $21 for the sandwich. I have been charged for extra tomato sauce and the peppers. I also was charged $3.49 for the side of fruit, which I should add was decidedly on the small side, as you would wete it included. I raised the issue and they waived the tomato and pepper upcharge. But they insisted that the fruit cup was marked on the menu. I did not bother to ask for a copy of the menu but I did decide never to set foot in this restaurant again. Were I running the restaurant, I would have waived the fruit cup charge without question just to make the customer happy. I must add to this that a competitor a few miles away, called Santini's, offers a comparable sandwich for about the same price but it is nearly twice as large. They do not charge for the peppers and they do not charge for the tomato sauce. Guess where I am going in the future. I went here this time because it was a table tennis club lunch gathering. It has already been decided we will go to Santini's next time read more

I visited Pie-tanza today for the first time with family. I arrived about noon and the restaurant was packed. Since reservations aren't taken, I put my name on a list. She said it would be about 20 min. Twenty minutes passed and we were told it would be 20 min for our table of 5. The hostess announced outside that our table was being cleaned. There is a daily lunch special 10" Wood-Fired 2 topping Pizza & Fountain Drink or Iced Tea for $11.99. We all chose the special and I chose the Primo Pepperoni lunch special which was $4 more. Everyone one appeared pleased with the pizzas. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. The wait staff was very young and inexperienced. Our waiter began by shadowing another waitress, but then completely took our table responsibilities. I had to request a drink refill. I would go back to Pie-tanza on a return visit and look forward to trying other Italian entrees. read more

Ok... I have never written a review before, so here I go. This place looks amazing and the staff were great. The pizza was by far the worst pizza I've ever had in my life. It held so much promise it looked sloppy and dry, but that's not what made it so bad this pizza had absolutely no flavor literally nothing is seasoned. And I don't blame the restaurant i honestly blame all of the people that are giving this place 4 & 5 stars. I would not recommend this place with how it is now. The crust is the only part of this pizza that is palatable. read more

We love their food and the owner /manager was great too Highly recommend. Their penne pasta with sun dried tomatoes is to die for.

Another great Sunday night dinner at Pietanza! Nice selection of beers & wines, delicious brick oven pizza, plus spectacular desserts (ice cream, cannoli, hot cookie sundae). All of the servers are friendly, knowledgeable about allergies/gluten sensitivities and you get as much attention at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday as 6 p.m. on a Sunday. My go-to for "bring a lasagna to the beach" catering & "looks like I made this myself" soup, salads & dessert trays. 110%. read more

Friendly neighborhood spot for decent Italian food. I typically get the calzone or a pizza. Their cheese pizza is basic but very delicious. Their salads are huge and I like the walnut, grape and goat cheese! You can ask to have it split in two for no additional cost. The cannolis are delicious for dessert. All around easy family spot with good food. The bathroom is gender neutral. Pick up is available in the back. Lots of parking in the lot. read more

As consistently outstanding as ever and they go out of their way to provide Covid safety. I've been going to this place for years... decades actually. In all that time I've never been disappointed with the food or service. I was also surprised to see that I've never posted a review here. The pizza is great and I'm also a fan of their salads. For me, it's the pepperoni pizza and Cobb salad. But never both at the same time because that's too much food for one person. Also noteworthy are the Covid protections they have in place. They've put up transparent vinyl (plastic?) sheets between the tables. That isolates you from any adjoining groups while still letting lots of light in. The feel is that you are sitting in an open space and can do that without the risks. read more

Family pizza restaurant at Lee Harrison Center. This place is usually teeming with kids, strollers, and families. It's great if that's what you're looking for... Not so great if you want to hear your table talk. The pizza is pretty good, service is excellent, and the location is nice bc you can grab dessert or groceries in the same shopping center. read more

It had been many years since we visited pie-tanza and then a whim found it again. It did not disappoint, as it had previously. I'm glad they are still around and will visit again soon now that we are "reacquainted." The waitress was lovely, the food hot and fresh and very tasty with generous portions. read more

Great pizza! I ended up making my own veggie pizza with marinara sauce which I enjoyed. My boyfriend ordered a white pizza and I thought it was okay. I generally love white pizzas but felt like the sauce here was lacking flavor. My 4 star rating is mainly for the AMAZING espresso soufflé sundae. Even if you're not craving pizza, I would stop by here to try this dessert because it is absolutely mouth watering. 2 coffee ice cream scoops centered with a hot chocolate molten lava cake and surrounded my whipped cream and crushed espresso beans. It really is as good as it sounds and I wish I had a picture to prove it! read more

Went for a late lunch on a Friday and it wasn't crowded, but it wasn't empty either. It has several types of table options and was a great place to sit and talk and catch up with my friend. I chose the pasta with Italian sausage sauce. It was excellent! My friend got a small pizza and said it was her favorite, just the right size for one. The waiter was very good and everyone was very friendly. Prices were as expected. Would definitely go back if nearby. read more

Discovered Pie-tanza only about a month ago as I do not live in Arlington, and it quickly became my favorite place for pizza. Consistently excellent pizza with generous toppings. The lunch special (a 10" two topping pizza with fountain drink), plus a side salad makes for a perfect meal. Service is very good, and friendly. read more

This was not a good experience. Our waitress seemed as though she was not having a good day. I asked for recommendations and she said she doesn't eat tomatoes so could not make any recommendations. I got the calzone that arrived burnt and cut inside and my plate was filled with liquid. It was not good. And getting the waitress attention for a refill or to bring our check was difficult. I was going to try the pasta, I wish I would have. I will not be back. I cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

Went here on a weekend for dinner and to celebrate a family birthday. We were a larger party and were seated quickly. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We ordered a variety of items for the table including pizza, calzones, French fries, lasagna, green salad and fried mozzarella. Everything brought to the table was delicious and tasted fresh. The pizza had a crust that was extra crispy and was loaded with toppings. The calzones were stuffed full of cheese and included marinara on the side for dipping. The restaurant has the option for "make your own calzones"-- by selecting the toppings you want included. Several dessert options are also available, including cannolis, Italian cream cake and ice cream. read more

BLUF: Allergy friendly, amazing One of the best features about pie-tanza is their gluten friendly menu. You can also be assured that anyone with dairy allergy can eat here safely (as long as you let them know). You can expect a low-key and casual dining experience with great service. Food comes out at a reasonable pace along with their reasonable price. Quality of food has always been my favorite part about this restaurant. My favorites are the chicken parm and the Quatro carne pizza. Highly recommend this place!! read more

Had first catering order last night- a tray of chicken Parm. Wow! What service, guy who took our order was friendly, reminded me that chicken Parm catering doesn't include pasta so I wouldn't be surprised. Order was ready in time and packaged really nicely. Chicken itself was excellent and I was proud to serve to guests. Great job pie-tanza, you're so much more than "just" great pizza! read more

Outstanding pizza with good ratio of toppings, at very reasonable prices. Crust was crunchy like a cracker, which is not necessarily how I like my crust, but the rest of the pizza was sooo good that I didn't care about the crust. Vibe is that of a neighborhood family restaurant. read more

Love this spot! Great food, and lovely family friendly atmosphere. Their salads are all really good (& huge!). I love their pear and arugula salad and my son and I also really love their gluten free pizza. They have an extensive kid's menu and even a gluten free kids menu. Staff is super friendly and drinks are very well priced. Definitely recommend! read more
