I stopped in last night on my way home from work. A bit indecisive of what I wanted to order. The…read moreyoung girl at the register was my first impression. I have to say it wasn't pleasant. She has zero personality. Not a good start. I looked around for some food/menu options. I didn't see anything as she watched, so I asked if they had a menu I could use. I just felt like most ppl would say would you like to see our menu?!? I ordered some food and waited at a table. She set it down again not saying a word with her earbuds in. Smh The pizza had plenty on it was cooked nicely, but the dough wasn't very fresh. I'm from the NYC area so it's a challenge to find good food here. I will try it again as I don't like to go by first impressions. But May the girl learn you may get better tips etc if you give good service!

Staff was…read moreexceedingly accommodating, vibe was relaxed yet loud enough to allow a privacy bubble, and I'll definitely plan a return visit when in town. We had the Margherita, Capricciosa, Caesar salad, and the Nutella pizza and flourless cake for dessert. Kids devoured their Margherita slices and we really enjoyed the acidic, salty, roasted, crusty, chewy, fluffy, perfectly balanced notes of the artichoke, olive, tomato, and cheese Capriciossa. I know Caesar is a boring choice but sometimes the stomach wants what it wants, and this one was worth noting; I especially enjoyed the little nub of chewy pizza dough bread with it. I got it anchovy-less, because I don't love crunching on the little dudes, personally. Accessible entrance for wheels is around the back via a ramp in the alley--there's a doorbell for entry. They provided crayons and a coloring sheet for kids which always wins me over instantly, and were highly aware and educated around food allergies and their menu. 5/5 and an easy recommendation all around.

It didn't take long to identify the state's core competencies: Producing world-class cheese Perfecting brick oven pizza Aggressively curating a very specific political vibe Curiously, only two of those things are edible, and unfortunately, you can't get pizza without being reminded of the third. Also worth noting: I'm not convinced any other style of pizza exists in Vermont. If it's not artisanal, wood-fired, and served on a reclaimed barn board, it apparently doesn't make the cut. So naturally, my brain locked in and I ate pizza two nights in a row like a creature of habit. Night 1: Pizzeria Verità Parking was...aspirationally convenient. After navigating downtown Burlington, which feels like a live-action sociology thesis, I made it inside. Let's address the elephant in the room: the price. With tip, I dropped nearly $30 for what amounted to a personal-sized pepperoni pizza that politely declined to fill me up. I assume part of the cost goes toward sourcing ethically massaged tomatoes or ensuring the mozzarella had a fulfilling upbringing. Now, to be fair, the pizza was excellent. Truly. Great crust, quality ingredients, clearly crafted by someone who cares deeply about their art. But the value? That's where things get a little...Vermont. Delicious? Absolutely. Filling? Not quite. Financially efficient? Only if you measure wealth in vibes. I went in skeptical, left impressed, and still had to consider a second dinner.

My partner usually likes to add pepperoni to his sandwiches and 2/3 times they have charged him For it and not added it. This was my Caesar salad tonight. Those little brown bits are supposed to be the croutons In my opinion it is quite literally inedible. This is the result of me trying to pull the lettuce out and salvage what I could. Thanks guys!!!

The pizza had good flavor. The cheese curds were breaded and fried and tasted like mozzarella sticks. The salad was fine, though not traditional (had lettuce and croutons).

As a self-proclaimed pizza connoisseur, I recently found myself in Burlington for a work trip and…read moredecided to conduct what I can only describe as a two-night pizza field study. Vermont, as best I can tell, excels at three things. Producing elite-level cheese, perfecting brick oven pizza, and fully committing to a very particular political personality. Two of those things directly benefit me, so I leaned in. One immediate observation. If you are looking for anything other than wood-fired, artisanal pizza, you may want to adjust expectations. That appears to be the law of the land. Naturally, I adapted by eating pizza two nights in a row. Night 2: Folino's Pizza The next night I pivoted and ended up at Folino's, which turned out to be the value correction I needed. I ordered the MK pizza, which comes topped with caramelized onions and impressively large pepperoni slices that do not believe in subtlety. The difference was immediate. I paid less than the night before and received a pizza that was easily twice the size. This one actually acknowledged that I had not eaten since breakfast. The caramelized onions added a great balance of sweetness, the pepperoni brought both flavor and coverage, and the overall product hit that ideal intersection of quality and quantity. This pizza was not just good, it was filling. I left satisfied and with leftovers, which later doubled as an elite cold hotel breakfast. That alone puts it in a different category. The atmosphere at Folino's was laid-back, clean, and refreshingly unpretentious. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I showed up earlier than I had said I would, fully expecting to be told to wait, but they immediately jumped into making my order without hesitation. The location has a slightly rough-around-the-edges feel, but that seems consistent with parts of Burlington. It adds a little unpredictability to the experience, which at this point felt on brand.

It was an honest mistake. But management humiliated me in front of everyone and was unwilling to take my personal check; and I was in tears worrying where my card went.

You'd think after years of being in business as a family restaurant, management would show a bit of grace. But grace (or lack of it) goes around full circle, just remember. They are cruel people underneath. I will never go back and I will tell everyone I know how they treated me. -ACK

Luckily for them I have no self respect so I just still shoved the slop down my face hole but I wasn't happy about it. Cookies were pretty fire though. Also they forgot my ranch.

Order anything else and it's a mixed bag (literally since chances are your order will have gotten mixed up). The other foods are not bad, but it's more like you went to a friends house for dinner when you were younger. Right down to the frozen fish from a box. Overall it's a decent place to eat if you want pizza and you have kids. Meals are simple and easy, prices are middle of the road but they well save you a night of cooking. Tip: check your order if doing pickup. Easier to find out it's wrong there than at the dinner table.
