I went there for the lunch time all you can eat pizza buffet. They had a small but serviceable salad bar and about 7 varieties of pizza. Including Gyro, something that looked like a Hawaiian and chicken alfredo pizza. Tasty , not gourmet mind you, and a good value. Special bonus: they have dessert pizza which is wonderful read more

Pizzaioli - Chicken alfredo and dessert pizza - Pizza Near Me - Chanhassen, Minnesota

Wow! Is this ever a hidden gem! My wife and I were told to go here a few months ago and have ordered several times since! The pizza rocks, we are a big fan of the buffalo chicken pizza and the bread sticks(apparently the old crazy bread recipe from little caesars) this place is reasonably priced and have always had a good experience with the owners! Also they have gelato, we get a scoop of that as well! Check it out! 10/10 Cheers! read more

Great pizza. The Hawaiian was a combination of what I like AND what my wife liked: pineapple, Canadian bacon, pepperoni, and green peppers. The crust was nice and crispy, too. Right across the street from our hotel, so we could take a hot pizza home. read more

Pizzaioli - a car parked in front of a restaurant - Pizza Near Me - Chanhassen, Minnesota

Another hidden Chanhassen gem! But pizza! They have a a lunch pizza buffet! WHAAAAT?! I haven't taken anything to go here, but have enjoyed each pizza in the buffet. I would say the price is pretty equivalent to the value you get. If you want a really casual lunch, this is the place to be. The service is friendly, but you don't really interact with them besides getting your drink and paying before entering the buffet. This is definitely the place for a quick, casual lunch. read more

The food, service, and atmosphere were all great. This Pizza is amazing, absolutely delicious! Fresh ingredients, perfect crust and the flavor was on point so we take out 2 more pizza. Definitely recommended. read more

Still a good place, still a good value, two things I'd add in the 12 or so years since my original review, like everything else in the food industry world, the quality did seem to dip.. although not to the degree of other places. It's just not quite as nice as I remember it. I don't know if it's new owners, recipe, but at some point in the last decade, it went from a 9/10 Pizza to more like a 7.9/10 Also - The pizza, pretty good. The pasta? Nope. taste is fine at best, school lunch-ish. Horribly overcooked, they've never heard the words "Al dente" in their lives. Spaghetti-o consistency, and I tried it a second time since mistakes happen, even more overcooked and CUT! on top of it. Seriously, who cuts spaghetti with a knife? Lastly - Not sure they understand value. about $0.90 an inch for a small.. and then the medium and large are $1 per inch more. Six 10" pizzas cost less than five 12" pizzas. Maybe work that one out, Pizzaioli. We're doing you a favor by ordering more, not the other way around. At least structure the same pricing to reflect that so I don't feel I'm losing value by ordering a bigger pie. read more

Good service , the service there is very attentive. And delicious food ,and food is delicious

The several kinds of pizza were great and the delivery to us was on the dot. We'll go again.

Pizzaioli is that hole in the wall pizza joint you'd never think you'd find in a small town like Chanhassen. Their pizza has been consistently good for the decade that I've lived here, a given when ordering pizza for the fam or friends. The lunch Buffett has always been optimal as well, but has its downsides. With most Buffett's, food gets cold quick - and personally I'm not a fan of pizza under a heater lamp. Hope you can find a way to fix this, when you do I'll make that four star into a five! read more

Very good pizza, order was ready when we got there after ordering by phone, owner (I think he was the owner) was very pleasant! We'll go back! read more

We just moved to the area and wanted an easy meal in the new place so went to google for a nearby pizza spot that wasn't a chain. This one looked closest so we gave it a go -- YUM. We ordered 1 plain pepperoni and one BBQ chicken without onions. Both were awesome. I love this type of crust where it's crispy and chewy.... so good. We will be back lots. Can't wait to try the breadsticks and other options!! Edit: I forgot to add... on a Saturday night it was a 15 minute wait for take out. Insanely quick. read more

This is the best pizza in Minnesota hands down, I always ask for the ranch sauce instead of the red sauce. Now the ranch sauce may sound intense but it is quite the run for your tastebuds. Have had some of the greatest talks over a slice of Pizzaioli pizza. Every time I come back home to visit I have to come by and visit my favorite pizzeria. Honestly this place is legendary, been eating it since my friend Owens 3rd grade pizza party, he put me on that day. I hope with this review to put you, reader, on as well. read more

Just moved to the area looking for something different and happy I did. I bought the bbq chicken pizza and cheese bread everything was delicious I will definitely be ordering from them again and often! read more

Really good pizza at a great price. Wings are REALLY good also! Great family restaurant.

Food is fantastic. Have been ordering pizza here for a year now after another joint closer closed down. Ingredients are fresh. Pizza is always hot. And the staff are very pleasant. read more

My family and I came here to try a new pizza place. It was OK, the place used to be a Little Ceasers franchise back in the day and the owner made it his own. The prices are a little pricey and the food was adequate. I gave it three stars because the staff was polite and service was pretty quick. And they have good Gelato. read more

Just ordered the gyro pizza. Delivery spot on. Pizza delivery perfect. Taste, well. perfect. Had questions before but this sealed the deal u read more

Great pizza! Loved the crust and the perfect amount of sauce. Even better, our kids loved it and cleaned their plates, too. Quite the compliment from otherwise picky eaters! We had two large pizzas, one with pepperoni and the other was more of a supreme with pepperoni, sausage, green peppers, mushrooms and onions. The best pizza in town for sure! read more

owner is z really nice guy. Salad was great. Good dressing, nothing spectacular for toppings but I enjoyed it. Pizza is good. The BBQ chicken wasn't great but the standards were very good. While I was there I was listening to these two guys talk about the mass shooting in Las Vegas the night before. "These liberals who want to ban guns is just stupid. What do they want to ban booze so people don't drink an drive? Ban cars so nobody runs into a crowd with a car? It makes no sense that crazy guy could have done what he did with a car or a knife." I've realized that there's a majority of our population who are just stupid. So a guy can kill 50 people with a knife from across the street 300 feet in the air?? I've just given up trying to insert even a smidge of common Sense into a gun conversation it's pointless. "Somehow this guy got automatic rifles. I cant get an automatic rifle." This guy is so stupid I can't stand it. read more

I feel so bad that in all the years driving past Pizzaioli, I have never tried it until tonight. Hands down some of the best pizza I have ever had! Crust was perfect, cheese delicious and fresh topping ingredients. We ordered for a few of us and were all surprised with how good it was! Friendly staff and good value. Will definitely order this as our regular pizza place from now on! Yum! read more

This is one of the better pizza places in Chanhassen. We do seem to have a lot of them too. They do deliver now so that is a good plus. (haha as opposed to a bad plus?) I have not dined in, but when I have picked up my pizzas I wasn't too impressed with the ambiance.... but then it is a pizza place in the burbs so what do you expect? My orders have always been accurate and delivery time is reasonable. I always receive my pizza hot. read more

Pizzaioli is a great spot for solid Pizza. Always fresh, always hot. We usually pick our pizza up or dine in for lunch... The very casual lunch buffet is excellent at around $7. It's all you can eat salad and pizza which includes a drink. Although I'm partial to the margherita pizza, they usually have 4 or 5 different pizzas out at once. The ambience isn't anything too amazing, but works great for lunch. read more

Absolutely awesome pizza. Best in Chanhassen, Chaska, Eden Prairie area. The only thing that prevented them from getting a perfect 5 was that they seem to have one phone line. I called and I get a voicemail message saying they are busy and to call back. WTF? Why can't I be on hold until they have time to answer. I had to call back about 17 times a couple minutes apart until I got to talk to someone. I was ready to give up on this place, but the food totally made up for it. read more

Gyros pizza is awesome, and we appreciate the speedy delivery. The breadsticks are also amazing. Way better than Papa John's! read more

Came here with a group of 25 to celebrate the end of my daughter's basketball season. We called earlier in the week confirming the number and preordered the food so they could have it ready at 6:30. We also arranged to have a sectioned off set of tables so our group could sit together. When we arrived there were no tables together. Instead of apologizing and helping us put them together we were left to do it ourselves. Our food finally came out at about 6:45 and I will say the food was good. I had gotten there early and ordered spaghetti noodles for my son who doesn't eat pizza. I ordered at 6:20. I actually had to go back to the text message I get when my credit card is charged to verify what time I ordered after we had waited over 40 minutes because I couldn't believe how long it was taking. The server at the counter did not seem to care. He never apologized and just said they were very busy and they cook all of these kind of items together at once so it would be a bit more. I told him I understand we were a large group but we called and ordered ahead so I'm shocked it takes 40 minutes to make some spaghetti noodles. Again no apology. I actually feel bad for this guy. I'm sure he was just the messenger of a bad night. Whomever is the owner here should evaluate their staffing levels because they were clearly understaffed. They had one person cooking all the food and the one server at the counter. I'm guessing the owner does not care much about the success of this business based on the physical shape of the restaurant. Maybe order take out here but expect it to take a long time. We ended up leaving without the noodles because my son was starving. We won't be back and neither will any of our group based on the comments I heard tonight. read more

Pizzaioli has been a favorite of our family's for years. My 80 yr-old parents ate there this week and had a terrible experience. My mom's lasagna still had ice crystals in the center. She didn't return it, just planned to leave the cold portion and reheat it at home for dinner. She politely informed a staff member and suggested they needed to adjust their heating time. He apologized. As my parents were preparing to leave, another staff person -- possibly a delivery guy -- told my parents that "she was a complaining b*tch". I'm stunned. You've lost a family of regular customers. No employee has the right to say something that inappropriate-- and wrong -- to a customer. read more

This joint is smokin' hot. Hands down, Pizzaioli offers the best fresh pizza in the area. Minus the owner, the staff is charmingly easy going. Note: The breadsticks are also phenomenal, and they now have free WiFi!!! read more

This is the areas best kept secret. The only thing better than the price of the lunch buffet is the taste. Friendly staff, you won't go wrong. My Mom makes me take her every time she visits from Ohio. read more

Pizza is average, all of the pizzas are piled up with grease and the pizza really lacks in flavor all together. Choose one of the major pizza chains instead of this disgusting place. read more

Excellent hand-tossed crust and their buffalo chicken is the best I've ever tasted. Staff is excellent and make sure you check out their lunch buffet. read more

Very good pizza and wings! Great delivery service. We would definitely recommend if you are looking for new and fresh pizza with a local presence. read more

Came across this place while searching for Pizza in the area, very easy to find and well marked. When you first walk in your greeted by the order counter and gelato bar, both very clean. After placing our order of wings and pizza we grabbed a table off to the left, lots of ample seating and clean. It didn't take long and we were enjoying our wings. We ordered the hot & spicy, they smelled a lot more spicy than they actually were, they were good, nothing special. A short while later our traditional crust pepperoni pizza came, again good, nothing special. I probably wouldn't eat here again only because there are many other pizza places I need to try. The sauce had nice seasoning, each slice was very cheesey, and the crust was a nice thickness but nothing about it really stood out. The service was very good. read more

Pleasantly surprised! Walking in I thought I was in a Kitchen Nightmares audition tape. Dated and mismatched dining room, old tile, mismatched counters, and an employee fighting with her boss. Looking past first impressions, I was surprised to see such a cheerful man greet us at the counter. He said hello and offered each of us our own menu. Fifteen minutes later (as promised) we had hot food and were headed back to the hotel. Opening the to-go bag I was very pleased with the quality of takeout containers, food presentation, and taste. Loved the pasta, loved the bread, and very entertained with the whole experience. Give it a try. I know I will. read more

Pizza is good and the buffett is worth the price but plan on spending most of your lunch hour cause they aren't fast getting out the pizzas and if you like basic things, pepperoni, sausage, cheese, you might be disappointed cause they seem to like to push more of their exotic pizzas. So, if you like lots of variety, you'll be fine. On the regular menu the apps are over priced for what you get and sandwiches are subpar. I've had a few of them and they were nothing exciting. Example - the Italian beef was very blah - it was nothing more than sliced unflavored roast beef with chopped onions and green peppers - not like any Italian beef I've had before. read more

We like to eat at the dining area in Pizzaioli. It seems that they do a lot of take out and delivery so when we visit in the evening, it is generally easy to get a seat. It is primarily self service and in several years, we have only had one pizza that did not turn out as expected and the manager/(owner?) made us another on the house. If you are looking for a relaxing place to hang out and have some hot pizza, Pizzaioli is a great destination! read more

The pizza was decent but I had to wait fifteen minutes for the kind I wanted to be brought out to the lunch buffet. The salad bar was near non-existent and I also had to wait a long time for them to put lettuce out. I will never go to Pizzaioli again. read more

The pizza is ok, however, the gentleman taking my order had long fingernails with dirt under them. I was grossed out, but thought maybe he just was running the till & not in the kitchen. When I came back to pick up the pizza, he was in the back with the others with his hands in the dough. Very grossed out and lost my appetite. read more

Decent thin crust pizza. It was okay, nothing we would go back for. Just typical pizza, taste or flavor didn't blow us away.

I've never met a pizza I didn't like...... until now. Between tasting like cardboard, being over priced and the time for pick-up being twice as long as they said I will never go here again. There is a Pizza Hut right down the road that is a million times better than this place. read more

Best Pizza in Chanhassen. Great dough, sauce and topping variety. Gelato is yummy too. Best of all, the staff is fantastic! Friendly, helpful and part of the community. If you call, ask about their specials of the day, there's usually a good deal. Try their upside down pizza! read more
