Il Pizzaiolo | Wood-Fired Pizza - Loomis, California

Cool little shop in a neat part of town. Massive wood fired oven with an open kitchen as you can see everything being made. Started with breadsticks covered in garlic oil. The bread was incredibly fluffy, warm, and had a nice crisp. For pizza I got a pepperoni and added basil and pancetta. The crust was immaculate.. crispy, full of flavor in every bite. Sauce was thin, with a small amount of cheese dolloped on. Solid pie, great service and quality ingredients.

Hands down best pizza 🍕 dough and sauce at any Italian restaurant i have been too. And ive been too a lot just about every state in usa and then some.
They must have some special recipes straight from Italy or sicily or both! Outstanding! Really good 👍 you will not be disappointed! Everything we had tasted handmade/homemade with love, in a wood fired pizza oven! Smells so good you can barely wait to eat!
We had the best garlic parmigiana breadsticks! So good.
And #1 Detroit deep dish pizza and the
Salsicca pizza with house made sausage soooo good! With the apple cider ipa amazing! We will definitely be back!

P.s. the house made
Taramisu is to die for good 👍

The food was absolutely delicious. The service was excellent even though we had a larger group. Highly recommend. We splurged and had some vanilla and mint n chip gelato. Definitely was worth it.

The pizza again was delicious. A little bit of a wait but hey is a Saturday night. Also got the homemade lemon cheesecake. So worth it. We love coming here and will be back soon.

Made our way over here once again. The people behind the counter were friendly and very helpful. This time we decided to go for the deep dish pepperoni, Never had one before but absolutely loved it. Surprisingly it had a little heat kick to it. But I would definitely get it again.

I had heard a lot about the delicious pizza at this restaurant, but when I ordered takeout I was disappointed. The pizza was just burnt.

I LOVE this place. Love in all caps, as I truly love this place. The pizza is amazing. All of them, even the deep dish. The Caesar salad is incredible, fresh, and has a nice hint of anchovy. Get the garlic bread sticks...only if you love garlic. I love garlic so I get them every time. My whole family loves this spot. Can be hard to get seating, but that is a good sign....because it is that good.

Making a special trip from Folsom, we were excited to visit this wood-fired pizza spot. We ordered margarita and roasted chicken with caramelized onion pizzas, along with garlic bread and a side salad. Unfortunately, there was a significant wait for our food. While the flavors were delicious, we found that either the pizza crust was too thin or the sauce too watery, resulting in toppings sliding off as we ate. However, the tiramisu cake was a delightful treat. As regular patrons of wood-fired pizza places, our expectations are usually high, but there's definitely room for improvement here.

Beat pizza in town. Hands down.
Classical pizza all made fresh.
Beat part is the service. When you come in it’s a Good chance that the owners will be working.

Pictures don’t do this place justice.

I would I recommend the prosciutto style pizza.
But anything is great. With the wine to match it.

Keep in mind some of their pizzas are very nontraditional and some come without sauce. So have an open mind or ask a lot of questions to make sure you’re getting what you want. Also, they have very good desserts seasonally.

If you're looking for a good wood fired pizza in the area, this place would appeal to you. We love their classic margherita!! Their specials are also worth trying out, we tried the one with pesto genovese recently and the pesto really packed a punch. The pasta has been a bit of a hit or miss and the price is on the higher side.

Edit: it's become our go to place for a good margherita in the area! Especially with their happy hour pricing. Loved their cannolo as well, its filling was very luscious and delicately flavored with orange and pistachios.
