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

Best chicken parm sandwich I've ever had. Super kind. Incredible service. Reminds me of being in a mom and pop italian place back in New Jersey, where you find the best italian food on the continent. Needless to say, this place is fantastic and the food is genuine Italian style, not any of the fake crap you usually find in this area. One of two Italian places in the DMV I will ever recommend. 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

One of my fave pizza spots in Northern VA. The bacon, spinach, asiago is to die for. They have a great selection of flavors, you can taste the freshness! 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

Delicious pizza and very friendly staff! Just dropped in after looking at Yelp reviews and they were spot on! Thin crust pizza was promptly delivered and delicious. Had the lemon cake for dessert and it was so worth the calories! Light and airy, not too sweet. Also had a glass of Pinot Grigio which was crisp and light. Would definitely go back and try other dishes read more

Family friendly Italian restaurant with fast and friendly service and decent prices for the area. Pizza was thin crusted and saucy, with a sweet tomato sauce that was really good. Very cheesy (ordered the four cheese pizza so go figure) and very good. The pasta was also delicious and had a sweet sauce. The shaved chicken was nice beaches you could get some of the pasta and spinach in the same bite as the meat and sauce so it all came together perfectly. Although I didn't order dessert other tables did and it looked incredible. Next time I'll have to save room for the brownie sundae! read more

The pizza and garlic bread are very good.the service is good to. And the Ooey gooey chocolate chip cookie is good too.

We've been going here for many years and have always enjoyed the food. Went again tonight and it was very busy which is great to see. And it is clear why. As guests were lining up to check in for a table, the owner/chef came out of the kitchen to help with the front of the house. He helped bid tables to move things along quicker. The food gets just as much attention to detail! read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch to go. I ordered the kids cheese pizza. The crust was oh so good. I will definitely come here again. read more

Pie-tanza is a great place for eating in or take out. I love that they have multiple options on the menu -it's not just pizza - and everything I've had has been great. In particular, their salads are some of the best I've had! read more

Our family has been dining at Pie-Tanza for over 14 years and it is and probably always will be our "go to" restaurant. Especially during COVID Pie-Tanza have been an island of warm familiarity thanks in large part to Max who works the back "take out" counter. Max always has our order right and alway give us a friendly greeting by name and that's a rare experience in a place like Arlington. read more

We have been going here for their lunch pizza deal - but today we decided to have the Cobb salad and the Antipasti salad. We were blown away by the portions but the taste and the experience was great! Max was very attentive and we couldn't finish all the salad so we took some home for dinner. This is a great place and always a wonderful dining experience. But make sure you try the Cobb and the antipasti salads - You won't be disappointed! read more

Kinda hidden but I loved it. Nice prices, staff was super lovely, specially the Hispanic pizza makers. The tomato soup was the most incredible thing! The mussels were very good. I'm coming back read more

Nice and cozy restaurant to have a great pizza. Pizza was good - four cheese pizza -, appetizers were good - bruschetta - , and the service as quick. I like the ambience and vibe as well. Seems very family friendly and is a good place to have in area (from the view of an outsider). I'd definitely recommend to any locals in the area read more

Pizza is good. Pastas are even better. Good service, very friendly neighborhood restaurant. Manager/owner is wonderful. Pleasant atmosphere. We go often. read more

My husband and I order to-go food at least once a week from pie-tanza. The salads are always very fresh and their pastas are delicious. It's always a great experience and their staff is very friendly. I believe it's a family run business... which we love to support. :) read more

Pie-Tanza is one of the best restaurants my husband and I have found in Arlington where we can take our three kids and still have a great, enjoyable meal. (And we've tried a LOT of restaurants.) Consistently good food, almost always fast service, and extremely kid-friendly. Awesome starters and fresh salads, with tons of good choices--especially the goat cheese salad and the caprese--and huge portions, super tasty pasta dishes (particularly the Sweet Tomato Cream Penne), yummy Italian style pizzas, and awesome desserts. Extensive kids menu as well, with a nice variety of main and side dish options (including all the kid staples plus healthy choices like salmon, fresh fruit, veggies, and even gluten free options if you're into that). It's not a big place and it's extremely popular, so if you go at 6 or 6:30 you might have to wait a few minutes for a table. But they're quite efficient at turning tables over, so it's usually only a short wait if any. If you're looking for a place to dine with kids, or if you don't mind dining with kids nearby, this is an excellent option. If you hate kids and/or dining near them, this place will be hell (as will any place in that whole shopping center actually). For us, it's perfect. We go there about once a week. read more

Ok, so I think I'm a pizza snob and when I find a good slice it makes me so happy!!!! I absolutely love pie-tanza the sauce is money and the cheese is salty and amazing!!! They also offered curb side pick up which was very appreciated and allowed me to pay by phone. read more

I feel like I've been on a roll with finding solid spots in this neighborhood. I dropped in as a recommendation from one of our neighbors. I'm glad I did! They have a lunch special, where you get a giant glass of iced tea (or soda) with a 10" specialty pizza. I went with the Quattro Carne. It's Neapolitan style, super thin pizza with tons of toppings. I also added the tomato soup. And if I'm being honest, when it first came out, I thought... they served me gravy... but then as you dig into the soup, it has the consistency of a hearty tomato soup, chunks of soft bread, and all the best flavors. So yes, I approve. They also seem to have delicious desserts, inclusive of cannoli, tiramisu, affogato and my fave: chocolate chip cookie... I'll have to come back to try them all. Great local spot, lots of young families, and is packed on a Friday lunch hour. I'll make my way back here for sure. read more

Great local pizza and pasta place. Chicken parm sub is good and pizzas are good too. Staff is friendly and helpful

Great service by Esteban twice now. We came last week for my birthday with a party of 9 and Karen immediately managed to seat us together. We had waited for another restaurant nearby that couldn't accommodate us. Karen couldn't have been more helpful on a busy night. We came back this week with just a party of two and had excellent service again from Esteban. Wonderful food, great service and a real neighborhood feel. read more

Chloe was our waitress and she was wonderful! She was friendly and patient, recommended some things, and got us our food in a timely manner. We got there early, which was good because the place was packed (with people waiting) by the time we left. Their salad and pizza were excellent! read more

when i hear "twice baked" lasagna, i picture lasagna with a beautiful bubbling cheesy top, alas, that's not what i got. I guess i should have known better and really just gotten a pizza, b/c the pizza looks great, but i was really craving lasagna and this did not hit the spot. read more

When we arrived we were surprised the place was fairly crowded for a Tuesday afternoon. We were seated right away, and noticed our booth and table were all greasy. We ordered the Calamari fritti as an appetizer, which we thought was a little pricey at $12 and even though the quantity was fair, we didn't really like it. We also had a pepperoni/mushroom pizza; it had that delicious wood fired oven taste. We would have better enjoyed the pizza if it had had less tomato sauce though. read more

pie-tanza - Primo Pepperoni and Mushroom Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Delicious Italian food! Pie-tanza has become a favorite for my boyfriend and I and we look forward to eating here on high-carb days. I took my parents here as well and they enjoyed it. My dad is hard to please so that says something. Establishment: The restaurant is small but organized. It is also very clean which is important. Ambience: The restaurant is family friendly (like previous reviewers have stated). With that being said, don't except Pie-tanza to be a romantic restaurant to take your significant other. It is quite noisy, but worth it for the food. I've come during the week and on weekends and they're always busy. Parking can be a hassle since the shopping center as a whole can get quite busy. Food: Delicious! My favorite is the walnut grape salad and the rose penne pasta. I try to get something different every time I go but these two are my favorite. Their desserts are sized generously and great for sharing. 4 out of 5 stars because the cesar salad was below average and the rosemary chicken you can add to dishes seems to be made in bulk and can taste bland sometimes. Other than that, Pie-tanza is a restaurant I would recommend! read more

When we walked in there were just a couple table of people. It took a minute before the hostess realized we were waiting (she appeared to maybe be eating at the bar) and she got us seated. The waitress was really nice and attentive the whole time. Our calamari arrived quickly and was pretty good - not overly breaded or greasy, not chewy. Maybe needs a bit more seasoning in the batter but still good! Mom got the three cheese penne and I got the spinach, chicken, artichoke pizza (but with fresh mozzarella instead of shredded and also added feta). Her pasta was good and very cheesy. My pizza was excellent - nice crisp crust, good sauce, flavors worked well together. I ate the entire thing, no regrets. Also the sangria - delicious. Not too sweet or dry or overly "tropical" like some of them get. Definitely one of the better ones I've had. This place hit the spot for the pizza I'd been craving, easy parking, and was yummy! If I lived in the area I'd be back. read more

I'm honestly shocked to see positive reviews here and based on that will try again. Simply the worst pizza experience I can remember. The pizza was undercooked, sloppy, and just unappetizing. read more

Not only is the food great, the customer service is always excellent as well. Our last visit we ordered incorrectly on line. We alerted them, they fixed it right away and didn't bill us, which was above and beyond. Another reason we love the place. read more

Great pizza and lasagne. Very good customer service. Reasonable prices. Sign up for their rewards club for a free pizza.

Me and my girlfriend have gone here 3-4 times now and have never been disappointed. She lives to build her own pineapple pizza. I get something different everytime and have liked everything I got. Plus, they are reasonably affordable compared to other restaurants in the area. read more

I'm usually not one to write reviews but I had an experience here tonight that has been on my mind. I've been a patron at Pie-tanza for 15 years, and I've never had service that has made me unhappy like this. I had placed a phone order for three desserts about 40 minutes before they closed, which I know can be annoying, but it wasn't anything big. When I went in to pick up my order from the back service counter, I was coldly "greeted" by a young girl, I believe her name is Charlotte. Instead of a "hello" or "can I help you?" she simply looked at me and said "yea" in an indifferent voice as if I was interrupting her conversation with her coworkers. I said politely that I had a pickup order and she responded with a "yep" before her coworker stepped in and took over while she walked away. Again, I know it was close to closing and I'm usually not a Karen about this type of thing, but as someone who has worked in the service industry for many years, I found her behavior incredibly rude. When I finally get home, come to find that my chocolate chip cookie a la mode is ACTUALLY just a ball of raw cookie dough, with "15 mins/350" haphazardly written on the lid. Just a ball of raw cookie dough after that service? I might as well have just gone to the grocery store. INCREDIBLY disappointing. Do better. read more

Place is a 10, local and authentic part of the community. Food is fresh made, kid friendly (they give kids dough to play with, and wood fired pizzas are great. Support this Lee Harrison treasure! read more

Your classic suburban pizza and pasta joint. Always crazy busy, they offer takeout so call ahead and pickup. The kiddo menu is your classic cheese pizza/ grilled cheese fare. The adults have tried pizza, pasta, and salads. All are of good quality. They LOVE to load toppings so when I feel like I want sausage and peppers I order that. They are generous with the oregano here and the pizza sauce does taste like it has sugar. I like the pizza here but don't love it- however that's really a style preference issue. I really like the salads here, specifically the fried goat cheese salad. Service: great! Friendly, as efficient as the kitchen allows and always packed. Parking lot is a nightmare. There is a garage around back. I've never been in it. Overall I appreciate this consistently tasty neighborhood joint as a place to bring the family after soccer and get a meal I can count on at a reasonable price. read more

Best local pizza! Quality ingredients and just simply delicious pizza. Love that you take and bake pizza home. We came down for lunch and had the special - pepper bacon, spinach, asiago cheese pizza and Greek salad. Salad portion was huge! And I had to take half the pizza home. Yay, leftovers! Definitely will be coming back. read more

Food was below average. Ordered the Caesar salad and it was drenched in dressing and everything tasted soggy. Dressing was not flavorful. Had the margherita pizza, cheese was good but sauce was too sweet. It also has shredded basil which was annoying because I wanted a classic margherita. We also ordered the calamari which lacked seasoning Won't order from here again read more

Environment was amazing, really felt like a little piece from Italy. I had asiago fettucine & date had penne , food was decent.

This is definitely a casual spot that is good for kids, inexpensive, and fairly quick. However, our service, the opera music, the warm pizza oven in the center of the room, and the lighting of this restaurant truly made it a great date experience. I don't often name waiters by name but Jason was excellent. It felt like he kept an eye on us and was making sure each aspect of our meal was perfectly timed. We ordered two appetizers and glasses of wine, two pizzas, dessert to share and coffee all for $70 after tip. Our waiter was able to explain a wine I hadn't heard of to me and when it arrived at the table, it was exactly what he described and delicious. We like to share a starter salad. When we ordered, Jason proactively asked if we'd be sharing and had the kitchen split the order into two. It was a great serving size and I was impressed with the Cesar dressing. We also ordered a half order of garlic bread. This was four large fresh fluffy slices of fresh garlic bread that was definitely not frozen. I could have been thrilled with just this for dinner, it was that good. About 3 minutes after we had our last bites of appetizer, our pizzas arrived. The mixed cheese and veggie pizzas were fresh and delicious. For dessert we shared a scoop of ice cream and a cup of coffee. It was wonderful and we will be back. read more
