I have been looking for a great pizza for quite some time in Vacaville. I have had a lot of false starts. Someone recommended Pietro's to me not realizing that they have two different locations i went to 2 first. I was not impressed with the pizza. not bad just not my taste. this past Saturday I was talking with friends asking the question which do you prefer 1 or 2. It was about 50/50. So, I decided to try 1, realizing it is a different restaurant after having conversation. Well, the PIZZA was GREAT. I had made some request... lite sauce and for them not to cut it. (not cutting it helps the crust not to get soggy, which is great when you reheat) The flavor from the ingredients and the crust was on point. Thanks for the Pizza and accommodating my request. This will definitely be my go-to for pizza in Vacaville. I don't have a picture, ate it to quickly sharing it with my 96 yr. old landlady, before I realized I wanted to write a review. so next time. I suggest you give them a try and the no cut thing also. read more

We came here for lunch as I was waiting to have my front tires replaced. It wasn't extremely busy but several seats were taken up by other guests. We were seated immediately. The inside has a nice chill vibe and there were a few TVs playing one of the college Bowl games. Latausha was our server and she was very courteous and friendly. We started off with some focaccia bread which had nice flavor, but I was expecting the bread to be warm and it was cold. My wife thought the parmesan cheese was a little salty. We ordered the calamari strips to start off... they were fried perfect and coated with a nice panto crust. The zing from the lemon juice kicked it up a notch. I went with the steak sandwich... the steak and juicy and tender; which the bread was nicely toasted and had a nice garlic flavor. The fries were delicious and some of the best I've had in quite some time. Wifey went with the half spaghetti half ravioli plate which she loved. The portion was so much she ended up taking hers home. This was only my second time eating at Pietro's which is wild for as many years as I've lived in Vacaville. But I can promise I'll be making more trips when I can. read more

The food here is delicious! The pizza had a really generous amount of meat on it, and their garlic bread is amazing. The service here is good too; our server checked in on us and also filled our cups with water when it was low. read more

Great service on a crowded Friday night. Our table had ceaser salad and minestrone soup to start alibi with some super yummy rosted garlic foccacia. Chicken picatta and Chicken Parmeasan and a Blanco pizza to share. Everything was very good. We all added seasoning. But thats ok with us. The portions were large and we took food home. My only complaint is they dont serve local Suisun Valley wines and thats disappointing given their location. Drink local!! read more

The food was amazing! We can't wait to go back to try other dishes. We live about an hour away. We came to meet family for a birthday dinner. We had the pizza this time. The bread they give you before your meal was very yummy also. Service was amazing! Sad with such a large group I missed our servers name. But I told her she did a wonderful job! Haven't had service like that in a long time. Everyones food came out smelling and looking so good! read more

Came for my mother's birthday on Saturday.... Service was so SLOW! Took forever to get our drink orders in, food came out like warm, no bread refilled, almost felt like we were an inconvenience for them and forgotten in the back. I personally would not pay $20 for lukewarm spaghetti with meat sauce that was super watery, and a mediocre Hawaiian pizza that was flavorless and soggy was $24.... For 2 people to eat it was $70 with the 18% gratuity charge.... Insane. Won't be going back. read more

The OG Pietro's. Although both Pietro's are a few blocks away and serve the same menu. Pietro's 1 is more intimate. The food and service is great. The portions are sharable and the drinks are strong. What's not to like? read more

Been eating here for.....well, I'm 47, so about 47 years. I live out of state now and when I visit home, my first question is, "When are we going to Pietro's?" I can't get enough of their Ciopinno (a Bay Area original!). Perfectly seasoned. Plenty of seafood. Only thing is, I've never been able to stop eating that fabulous garlic bread before I get my entree. Well, before they started serving Ciopinno, my family and I would ALWAYS order a combination pizza. It is terrific! Pietro's is simply the best! Staff is always top notch too. read more

Sitting here eating a half all meat half Hawaiian pizza. For an Italian restaurant Im shocked at the lack of taste in the food. We also tried the ravioli in red & white sauce. All I can say is everything was "bland ,bland,BLAND. Im visiting from Philly and we have a neighborhood pizza joint called PATS and this place couldn't clean the doormats at. The cup of tea I ordered was the highlight of my meal here. Did I mention the food was BLAND. I NEVER THOUGHT ONE RESTAURANT COULD MAKE ME MISS ANOTHER RESTAURANT SOO MUCH. BUT THIS ONE DID. 2nd star for the Atmosphere, was nice, Ole school Italian feel,complete with pictures of Italian streets and scenery but the food here couldn't be further from the dishes I've enjoyed during my two vacations there. read more

Great pizza, great pasta, great people! Have been going here for years, and they always deliver Such a nice a cozy warm feeling in this restaurant. Lights are almost always dimmed and could say even a very romantic feeling for a date night. Staff is always nice and attentive. Food never usually takes long to come out and seating is almost always pretty quick. If you have a bigger group they're very accommodating and will work with you entirely especially with a little bit of a notice The food is always amazing. Some of my favorite pizza from any local spot. Their crust is definitely on the thicker side which if you don't mind you won't be disappointed. All the ingredients taste fresh and if you're a meat lover kind of pizza eater definitely will live up to expectations. Pastas are equally just as good They're pretty big portions to be honest and can easily be split between two people From my experience at least Salads are always fresh and delicious with their dressings they offer They have a full bar so if that's more your speed they offer bar seating and the bartenders are always great The best part is they have a to-go option for everything so if you want to just get something for home easily can do so and they make it easy to pick up with a small seating area if you order it there All in all Highly recommend to anyone for any occasion Date night, group event, even just a casual lunch Check them out! read more

Food was absolutely disgusting, tasted like spaghettios or chef boyardee, the pizza tasted worse than digornio or party pizza so what is the logic in spending 40 dollars there. The service was awful, took over an hour for me to get food and the resturant was empty. The ambiance was the worst part, I don't have any grudge against people who like country music but it was extremely distracting and out of place for it to be playing at an italian restaurant , it was also extremely loud and annoying. It probably would've been more suitable to play old music like 50s 60s and 70s. I'll go to olive garden next time. read more

I ordered through DoorDash. So no comments on the ambiance or service. I was looking for pizza that wasn't a common chain pizzeria since we had guests we wanted to impress (who happened to request pizza when asked what they'd like for lunch). Pietro's was well rated and has been a Vacaville staple for decades! We ordered a 12" Hawaiian, 12" Bianco, and 12" margherita pizza. Each pizza ranged from $22-24 for the 12" size. The total after tax and tip came out to just under $100. No option for make your own pizza with split sides. You could order a custom cheese pizza with extra toppings ($3-4 per topping). This made it a little more difficult to decide and order with one vegetarian in our group. The pizzas were a hit! In particular the Bianco was well received and the pizza that was eaten the most. The toppings were fairly generous. There is a lot of crust on these pizzas. The pizzas arrived hot and fresh. It'll be worth trying their food that isn't pizza. The pizza was tasty. Hopefully the pasta is too. But I felt the price was a little steep (probably because it was through DoorDash) for the amount of pizza. read more

I was here with a group. Food was ok, but I'm not an expert on Italian food. Pizza was good. Seems like a nice family restaurant.

We came as a group of 8, and had such high hopes for here but we were all sorely disappointed. The food was mediocre at best; our party didn't even take home the leftovers. The pizza bottom was mushy and the toppings didn't stay on. The meatball didn't hold the sauce since it was super light and watery, so they just seemed like large balls of steamed meat. The pastas were lukewarm and did not come hot enough; nothing stood out at all. Unfortunately we don't think we will be back. read more

Tony was the most amazing waitress I have ever had! She brought old school back like no other she boxed our pizza for us which I can't find in any place neither Norcal or SoCal!! When you go to Petra's, you must have the supreme pizza and ask for Tony to be your server she is fan for King tastic read more

So it seems as if This Iconic Staple has changed a few things. Does anyone know if the pizza crust has changed, the ranch did not taste like ranch. The meatballs were mediocre. Certainly not what we are used to. read more

How embarrassing. And gross. Ordered pizza for my out of town visitors only to receive a box full of grease The orange isn't the color of the cheese, it's the layer of grease sitting on top of the pizza. The box was saturated too. I knew I shoulda ordered from Napolis. read more

I was so delighted to eat at Pietro's finally. I've driven past this restaurant countless times and have heard from many family members across multiple generations just how delicious it is. I finally got the chance to go, and it did not disappoint. We started with two different kinds of garlic bread, and both were absolutely wonderful. I don't typically eat bread because I'm usually not a fan, but I couldn't stop eating it. Luckily, that meant I had plenty of pasta to take home and enjoy later. The two different types of garlic bread we were given were clearly homemade and incredibly fresh! We ordered the chicken fettuccine with a creamy pesto sauce, and it was fresh, homemade, and truly delicious. I found the balance between the pesto and the cream to be absolutely divine. It was the right amount of flavor without being overly rich. I wish that it had come with some steamed broccoli. The other dish we tried was the chicken piccata, which was also very good. The chicken was well seasoned and tender, and the sauce had great flavor and consistency. Overall, Pietro's has more than lived up to its reputation, and I'm so glad I finally got to experience it. Everyone at the restaurant was friendly and made you feel like family. Incredibly attentive, and even the rest of the crowd in the restaurant was so kind, and it just really added to the family-like environment. I highly recommend doing this for a variety of occasions. Family dinners, date nights, or even a celebration, as the restaurant has a few sections that can accommodate large parties. I have someone to mention that they had some televisions and bar seating for those looking for that as well. Unfortunately, we forgot to take photos because we were with a large group and having such a great time. Next time we'll definitely take pictures to add to our post. However, that speaks highly to the experience we were having. Great food, excellent service, and looking forward to the next visit! read more

The best as ever Eddie our server was fantastic. Give him a raise. I love Pietro's number one and I love the Pietro's number two as well, but the only problem there is the bathrooms upstairs and it's very inconvenient with my broken knee so we always go to Pietro's number one thank you so much for good food and good times. read more

Literally re-downloaded Yelp to leave this review. I have been ordering this steak sandwich since I got my first job at 17yrs old. I've since left Vacaville to live in great food cities like Oakland. San Francisco, and Portland OR and worked the majority of my life in restaurants, some of which people have traveled from all over the world just to work at. I've had alot of steak sandwiches since I was a kid celebrating my first check at Pietros #1. I haven't had it probably 10years and was passing through yesterday on my way home from the holidays and made a stop 30minutes out of my way to try it again. I needed to know if it lived up to the hype because it's lived rent free in my head since the last time I had it. Does it live up to my memories? Is it just sentimental? I've tried making my own and can never replicate the flavor. I needed to try it again. I ordered it to go, and ate it in my car in the parking lot across the street. Needless to say it melted my gd brain. It still to this day is and always was the best steak sandwich I've had in my life, and I have no idea why. It's a NY strip with a nice char and grill marks, perfectly cooked at medium rare with no grey line and as far as I can tell is seasoned with fresh ground pepper, a little garlic and salt. (Maybe MSG, but I won't tell) Wood fire probably? Idk but it's perfect. The bread is nicely toasted on the outside and soft on the inside, it soaks up the steaks juices and the butter baste it seems to have had just enough but not too much to fall apart. I want to thank Pietros #1 for maintaining quality after all these years and how hard things have gotten for restaurants, to have the opportunity to taste this piece of my childhood so many years later is just what I needed in what was a truly awful 2024. I'll be making trips back and go out of my way to have this sandwich for as many years as I can, please never change Pietros, you're amazing. read more

Went last night for a corporate Christmas party and the food, service, and staff was amazing. Thank you all!

Pizza was not as good as usual not much toppings. And salad was mostly lettuce not like it used to be very sad. Bread for salad was burnt just threw away. We were very disappointed. We love pietros usually we are very happy but very disappointed this time will be a while before we come back. read more

Had dinner at Pietro's No 1 last night. Hadn't been there for a few years. Everything was fantastic. Was immediately seared and brought warm focaccia bread. The main course and salads were great, as was the Italian Margaritas. The service as exceptional. Kelsey was a wonderful waitress. If I owned a restaurant I would steal her away. Will definitely be back. read more

This is the steak sandwich of your dreams! I was impressed with how yummy the sandwich was and shocked at how generous the portion was. Don't hesitate to order it. Delicious! Also, make sure to order the minestrone as your side. The GM, Dawn, was hospitable and gave excellent advice on navigating Vacaville/Sacramento traffic since I was coming through Pietro's from the Bay Area. My bartender, Gloria, recommended the sandwich, minestrone soup, and Deloach Pinot Noir. They all paired well together. Thank you! I enjoyed the country music playing and was happy to wait out the traffic in this fun venue. read more

Pietro's No 1 - Best Steak Sandwich! - Pizza Near Me - Vacaville, California

Food and drinks tasted good. The service is usually great but tonight it was awful. One meal came first and 5 minutes later the other meals came. They forgot to bring the salads but when brought to their attention they finally came. After we asked for boxes for our leftovers. When the waitress brought the boxes she didn't help boxing up the food and also handed us our check without asking if we would like dessert and or coffee. When we did tell her we were not done and would like dessert and that we were not ready for the check she seemed upset. She later brought the dessert but didn't clear our table from the main course. So we bussed our table and put it on another table so we could have room to share our dessert with our family. The manager came over and apologized but said it was a misunderstanding. No, it was just poor service and maybe lack of training. We have gone other times with Great Service! We will come back and hope that the service will be improved. read more

The food was excellent and the service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere had a warm family feel.

I convinced my wife to go to Pietro's #1 and all I can say is she was extremely satisfied with this traditional Italian restaurant. There's something to be said about a limited menu because everthing we ordered was awesome! Our server Eddie was awesome too. We screwed up ordering a togo food for my children and Toni the manager handled our screw up beautifully. THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE CONCERNED ABOUR THEIR CUSTOMER'S SATISFACTION. The wine list is awesome and the food is consistently great. The only negative is they are so busy and with the labor force compromised, they don't have enough help to handle the volume of customers. Every restaurant is experiencing the same challenges. Thank you Eddie and Toni for making our experience great. Ambience is family friendly. read more

Helena was absolutely fantastic. Gave excellent customer service and was attentive to the details of my order during my visit.

We decided to go to Pietros 1 for the family special for a change and we're sorry we did. We went at a typically slower time of day, so the restaurant would not be crowded, hoping the service would be great. Unfortunately, the service was slow. The wait staff appeared to be more interested in the bar patrons and socializing than they were with waiting on us. We had to ask for the garlic bread which is normally the first thing that comes out quickly. The pizza arrived late and when it did, it was soggy and had little taste. When we mentioned that the food did not tast the same as it used to, the waitress merely replied "oh?" Overall we were very disappointed and will not be returning to Pietros 1. read more

My husband and I planned to have an amazing Italian dinner. Loved the oversized pumkins in the doorway, however we were not greeted for the first 5 minutes. Eventually the hostess acknowledged us physically but never introduced herself sent us to a table where she dropped the menus on the table never made eye contact and proceeded forward to the next table. Unfortunately I had to depart due to disfavor with the service. Your hostess should always be the face of the establishment and that person failed. I do love the previous dining experiences but this time was unfortunate. read more

Stellar food in a quaint atmosphere. Very attentive staff and clean surroundings. We will definitely be returning for an encore. read more
