A part of Boulder is CU and their students, a big part of college students is pizza. Therefore Boulder has a lot of college friendly greasy cheap pizzas.. which is great for our population but does get redundant and I crave a different kind of pizza. One with more attention to detail, fluffy crust, more 'Italian' style, more homey. This is the place if you're craving that more authentic Italian style experience! They've got actual margarita pizza (that's not just a cheese pizza with tomato slices thrown on it like other places..) and really unique style pizzas if you're feeling adventurous. We had one unique pizza that had sausage, honey, and pistachios. I usually dislike sweet and salty and my partner hates nuts, but they did this pizza so well it was one of the best pizzas we tried there. I believe they mix up their menus cause when I tried looking it up online for the exact name of the pizza I couldn't find the pizza. But I'll post a picture of the pizza. They also have a great appetizers and the slice their prosciutto to order. What I love about this place is you can sit at the pizza bar and watch pizzas being made and meat being sliced and arranged beautifully. I loved their limoncello drinks which is perfect for spring/summer day out on their patio. The servers are kind and hard working. This definitely is one of my favorite places to hang, date night, girls night, business dinner, etc. read more

Overall, loved the pizza and White House wine but I'd skip on the apps. Cesar salad (not pictured) was good but not great. It was pretty sour. Arancini here are basically just fried cheese balls. I'd skip on these moving forward. I think we'll return but will likely just stick to the pizza and wine! read more

I really like Pizzeria Alberico. The high quailty ingredients and the pizza really tastes like Italy. I had Diavolo pizza and it was excellent. It had a nice little spicy kick to it which I loved. I also had the Budino dessert which is a butterscotch pudding with chocolate ganache and whipped creme and it was perfect. I mean a 10 out of 10 on this dessert. The service was fast and very helpful. I also like the vibe of the place and it was very clean. read more

Came here for the namesake. Unfortunately, the attention we received as customers was lacking. The wait wasn't bad we were sat down quickly since it wasn't a busy day. However, after 15 minutes of waiting for our menus my partner had to get them himself. Strange since the other table directly in front of us was being attended and even got their drinks before we got our own menus. When the waiter got our orders, he never brought our drinks and we were only served water. Our appetizer was given to another table, it's almost as if we were being completely ignored, purposely. Being that we were the only brown customers in the restaurant, I can't help but to think that's the reason why the service was not up to the other yt customers standards. Won't be coming back. Food wasn't even that good tbh. Not really Italian, very Americanized Italian food. Must've been the sour taste that the service left. read more

Vibe is very chill and relaxing. Staff was ok. Our waitress was a little busy but she was still attentive. I heard from another server for another table that the pizza oven reaches 1000 degrees and the pie cooks in sixty seconds. This would have made the experience so much better if someone would have told us as it was our first time. We had three pizzas. The andouille, the Marguerite and the diavola. All equally incredible but after trying the andouille And diavola the other tasted bland in comparison. The gelato was phenomenal with a pizzelle on top. read more

We were in Boulder for my hubby's work and wanted a nice dinner - one of the locals he was meeting with highly suggested Pizzeria Alberico. We started our dinner with the olive appetizer, and they were wonderful. We shared a tasty salad, a Negroni, and a 'Nduja e Cipolle Dolce Pizza - all of which were delicious and worthy of recommending to future diners! Also, we had a great waiter and were able to sit outside and enjoy the nice weather with our meal. If we get back to Boulder, we'll be returning for another fine meal! read more

Great food, cocktails & service. Was here last night with 2 gf's. We had a 5:45pm reservation arrived a few minutes late but they were fine. They were not busy when we arrived. Drinks took a bit the first round. My Negroni was delicious, friend's had a spritz each. The olives, prosciutto, carrots & another app which I thought was suppose to be cauliflower but looked like broccolini were all delicious! We had the fungi pizza, delicious pie. We split a dessert which was a light caramel yum. Not even certain what it was called but we deferred to our waiter. Great company, fun & delicious eats with smooth cocktails. It was a winning night. A little on the high price but good time was had by all. Our bill worked out to be $78 ea split 3 ways. $235 seemed high but we enjoyed quite a bit of yums & I never paid attn to the price of the cocktails?. We had 2 drinks each. read more

4.7 stars. I've been craving Neapolitan style pizza and this place delivers. We've tried and loved almost all the other Frasca Hospitality Group spots so I had high hopes for Pizzeria Alberico. We made a resi for 7:15 on a Friday and the only spot available was the pizza counter, which I wasn't thrilled about at first, but I'm glad we sat there because watching the staff make the pizzas was mesmerizing. We ordered some drinks (Manhattan & house white wine - hello $4.5!), 2 arancini and the burrata for apps, 2 pizzas (Diavolo & Margherita Affumicata), side of prosciutto crudo, espresso martini, and 1 scoop each of gelato to finish. Everything was absolutely delicious! - Drinks were well made - arancini was hot, creamy, crunchy, and perfectly seasoned - the burrata sits on a bed of creamy pesto with arugula and is topped with little flavor bombs of balsamic pearls and juicy roasted tomatoes on the side. It's perfectly paired with warm, fluffy focaccia. A GREAT start to the meal. - the pizzas were both super enjoyable. The Margherita had a nice smokiness to it and the cheese was melty and gooey and crave-able. The Diavolo had such great variety of flavor and was a tad spicy (which I love). - HIGHLY recommend getting a side of prosciutto that they slice at the service counter fresh. It was buttery and melted in your mouth. We added it to our crust and dipped in the little sides of oil and cheese (make sure you ask for these on the side). The dough had great chew and flavor. Perfect little crust bubbles & not soggy or overcooked. The toppings were well-balanced and you can tell they're quality ingredients. - The gelato was creamy and tasty and you get a mega portion topped with a little cookie. We couldn't finish it all, but the flavors were excellent. Especially the Stracciatella. The atmosphere was busy, but not chaotic. They run like a well-oiled machine. Watching the staff cut the dough, shape the pizza, add sauce, cheese, and toppings and transfer into the wood-fired oven was like watching a dance. Really cool to sit at the counter and be entertained while eating. (I will say, the stools don't have back support. It wasn't uncomfortable but after awhile I needed to get up and stretch). You're sitting under a huge awning of basil so the scents are intoxicating. Service was good. Our waiter never told us his name, but he was friendly and attentive as well as offered helpful recommendations. The 4.7 is for the price. Our meal came to $157 which is more than I'd like to spend for pizza, but like I said the ingredients are good quality and you don't feel that heaviness you can sometimes feel after eating all that bread and cheese. Will 100000% be back and already looking forward to trying more menu items. read more

My husband and I visited Pizzeria Alberico for the first time this month. We walked in on a weekend around 12 PM, and the place was empty, so we were seated right away. We started with the Mela e Cavolo Nero salad. It was well-balanced and reminded us of a Waldorf salad. We both enjoyed the apple cider vinaigrette that accompanied it. For dinner, I ordered the Margherita pizza from the Pizze Rosse section of the menu, while my husband chose the Funghi pizza from the Pizze Bianche section. When the pizzas arrived at our table, the first thing we both noticed was how soggy and wet they looked. I actually asked the waitress if the pizzas were greasy or if something had been added to them, and she explained that they top all of their pizzas with olive oil. I LOVE olive oil, but these pizzas were so soggy it was a major turnoff. We tried cutting into them, but they were such a wet mess that we resorted to picking them up. Unfortunately, eating them that way wasn't any better. We didn't enjoy either pizza at all--they were sloppy, wet, and didn't taste good. We both agreed this was the worst pizza we've ever had, and we won't be going back. read more

The best Neapolitan style pizza in the USA! This is so melt in your melt sumptuous and you can see your pizza go into the sizzling hot oven right before your eyes. I recommend getting some balsamic vinegar and red pepper flakes and would be impressed if you have the self control to require a to go box. read more

Came for lunch! It's right on Pearl street so be ready to find street parking. Our waitress was super friendly! My fiancé and I decided to try a small salad and a pizza to split. The pizza was delicious. It's Neapolitan style so thin crust but soft. The menu is a bit limited but we enjoyed what we got. The inside is super nice but small. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Boulder! Just went back after the remodel and it still reminds me of the old restaurant I loved. The burrata cheese starter was flavorful and I loved the bread. The artichokes were also really great. I can't believe I didn't find a single chewy piece. The arancini were also great. They were so cheesy and came out hot and crispy. The pizzas were also great. The peach one was on the spicy side which I love but do advise against if you don't like spice. The one with anchovy was a crowd favorite. The one with the zucchini blossoms was really good as well. Personally I do think that the pizzas are overpriced. For dessert we had the budino and peach Melba. Dessert here is my favorite and I will always get the budino. A visit to this restaurant isn't complete without one. The Melba was good. The frozen drink I had was really delicious and had a great consistency. Service was pretty good, could've been quicker to order. Love the ambiance and would recommend! read more

Boulder has an incredible food scene. This spot personifies such. We recently stopped in for happy hour and we were not disappointed. I highly recommend the pizza, meatballs and Italian pilsner. The pizza is made with fresh ingredients, and you can watch it cook inside the pizza oven. The oven is the star of the show. It's gorgeous inside with a long bar. It's fun for meeting friends and enjoy some downtime together. You can also have a quiet date night at a table. You with your Aperol Spritz will look even more pretty just by being in the space. The servers will treat you like royalty too. See website for more information. Parking is on street. Get there early in the evenings for best seating. read more

This such a high quality spot for Italian appetizers and pizza. A small but solid list of cocktails, and an extensive wine and beer list. Top notch service, beautiful warm dining room, and excellent, consistent food. We had the burrata and some really different, earthy, and comforting roasted carrots. I've had their Caesar salad before and it's both predictable and great. Followed by a very solid, very good margherita pizza and the zucchini pesto white pizza. read more

The pies were very undercooked. There was raw dough in the crust. It is a Neapolitan pie in a v hot wood burning oven: 20-30 seconds more would have made all the difference. Pretty serious fault for a pizzeria. Apps and desert were good, quality of ingredients on pizza was good, decent service. It is just hard to overlook raw crust. read more

Pizzeria Alberico served me what can only be described as a deep meditation on crust. The thing was massive -- a bready fortress encircling a sad, damp puddle of sauce and cheese that flopped in my hand like a disappointed noodle. I came for pizza and got a soup sampler in a carb bowl. Lifting a slice felt like wrangling a wet paper towel, and eating it was a spiritual test of optimism. If crust-to-pizza ratio were an Olympic sport, Alberico would take gold -- and immediately be disqualified for forgetting the actual pizza part. What happened here? It didn't used to be this bad. Service was great bartender was fun and knowledgeable read more

Loved the fungi pizza. It was outstanding. The squash blossom pizza was not a squash blossom pizza. It had a few wilted blossoms on it, but all you could taste was the pesto slathered everywhere. It was a good pesto pizza. Not a squash blossom pizza at all. Started w a dozen oysters, which were excellent, and I love the eye dropper for the mignonette. Budino dessert is not as flavorful as it used to be, still good. Service was good, though the server seemed to be uncorking a wine bottle for the first time in her life. read more

Visited Denver last weekend and ended up having dinner here one night. The atmosphere of this restaurant is so modern and classy, I love it! The pizza was delicious and super light! I ate the whole thing minus the crusts and I didn't feel over stuffed at all. My only complaint about this place is that I think the food is way too over priced for what it is. I believe my pizza was nearly 22-24$ just for cheese, basil, and tomato's. I would say it's worth going once for the vibe, cocktails, and good pizza but i definitely would not come here frequently because of how pricey it is. read more

This is my favorite spot for Italian style pizza in the area. They use the highest quality ingredients, are happy to make any accommodations they can and the food comes out quickly. There's a lovely little bar area if you want a drink or just want to grab a bit for yourself. Service is stellar. They are a sister restaurant to Frasca so all of this falls in line for the brand. read more

This place is pretty good. I would say a solid 4.5. We got the artichoke app, Margherita pizza and the Diavolo pizza. This fed 2 adults and a toddler. Would happily order it all again. Next time I want to try a coffee and dessert too. read more

Picking two options from appetizer's and a pizza ( ahem - the margarita pizza is top notch!) menu as well as sandwiches! Yum! We actually had our hearts set on the dinner menu but our server asked the kitchen and they accommodated our request!!! What?!?!?! Yep - so cool! We enjoyed - of course-a margarita pizza (on the lunch menus btw) and AMALFI! The AMALFI was outstanding! Extremely fresh, lovely with the delicious thin lemon slices and the peas. Tasting of fresh, sweet yet creamy deliciousness. It was just fantastic! We asked for a wine accompaniment! Let me say NEVER hesitate to Ask your server for a wine recommendation here. They genuinely know their wine and never disappoint. As always , the service was 5+++++stars. Of course we ended our dinner with ARANCINI for dessert.

Great local pizza place from the ambiance to the food and service. We sat at the bar where they make the pizzas. What a sight. Great entertainment. All the servers worked together and were very good. The pizzas are excellent. The prosciutto pizza had extra prosciutto added with the arugula after cooking. Amazing fried garlic knots. read more

I cannot believe this place doesn't have 5 stars. We just got back from 3 weeks in Italy & this was better than the pizza we had there. They had so many gluten free options, too! Their happy hour had awesome choices - great wine, beer & cocktails & food. We had Negronis, arugula salad and olives. The olives were spectacular. They tasted so fresh and we felt like we were back in Italy. The arugula salad was perfect to split between two people , was adequately dressed and very fresh. We shared two gluten free pizzas - MAIALE NEL CAMPO OMG. Wow. 11/10 & probably one of the best pizzas we have ever had. The SALSICCIA was top notch & perfectly balanced. Our service was great & efficient. Food was spaced out just right. We will definitely be back. read more

Finally got to try this spot next to Frasca! The inside is interesting and minimalist. It has vibes you'd find in a pizza spot in Italy. The staff all had smiles on their faces and were happy help whenever we needed anything. The food was good. We ordered a few pizzas and some apps. The star of the show was the Verdure Misti Friti. The Arancini were interesting. Anything saffron, sign me up! We ordered the NDUJA E CIPOLLE DOLCE which was the best pizza in my opinion. We also ordered the SALSICCIA and did mushrooms instead of meat. All the pizzas had incredibly chewy fire roasted dough. All in all it was a good experience. read more

We were super excited to visit Pizza Alberico. We were fans of Pizzeria Locale so we were excited to visit the rebranded restaurant. The inside is almost identical with some updates to match the branding. For drinks we got the Espresso Martini and the Alberico Dirty Martini. Both were good but nothing bc special. We started with the Prosciutto di Parma which was very good. We loved this at the old restaurant so we're happy that it stayed on the menu. For our pizzas, we got the Maiale nel Campo and the Funghi. The funghi was super tasty. Amazing cheese choice and the shallots added a nice touch. 10/10 recommend this pizza. The maiale nel campo was a bit too dry and salty. Wish there were tomatoes or something to balance out the flavors and moisture level. For dessert, we got the cannoli and the chocolate amaretto cake (off menu). The cannoli was citrusy and nutty. It didn't keep all the flavors of a traditional cannoli which was a bit disappointing. The cake was very light. Not your typical chocolate cake. It was good but also still prefer a traditional recipe. The staff was very nice and accommodating. Even on the first weekend, we were seated without reservations (5pm on a Saturday). We sat at the pizza bar which was a very fun experience to watch the fun kitchen staff (it did get warm though due to proximity to the oven). read more

Pizza crust was fabulous. Pixza con fungji was delicious. The salad made me vomit. The waiter did not listen to my request for absolutely no onions. The last time we were there, the kitchen made me a Caesar salad with olive oil vinegar and lots of garlic. This Caesar salad had shallots and onion in the dressing and I vomited repeatedly after eating some. This is the worst service I've had in Boulder in years. You get better service in a fast food restaurant. He just didn't care. The ambience was very busy and noisy. Perhaps that added to it. The check came to funds in the three digits for a very simple meal that made me vomit. This place is arrogant and full of itself. You can save yourself a lot of money, and have a great meal elsewhere. 1 star. read more

We visited Pizzeria Alberico one recent evening when we were visiting Boulder overnight. We sat outside in the crisp mountain air, split a large Caesar salad and enjoyed two pizzas (one for each of us). Service was fantastic... while our food was also quite good. My chosen pizza was the sausage one which had too little sausage and too much bell pepper on it for my taste, but everything else was quite good. We will return next visit and try other items to get a better idea of the menu offering. read more

Really great Neapolitan Pizza in Boulder! First of all the service was so accommodating. Everyone checked on us frequently and made sure we had a great time. We got the Insalata Primavera to start, which was a super refreshing salad with cauliflower and pea purée! Then we shared the funghi pizza and the margherita. Both had so much flavor and you could really tell the quality of the ingredients! The dough was also so fluffy it was perfect. We also got the limoncello spritz and it was soo light and nice for a hot day. I would 100% recommend this place! read more
