bollo woodfired pizza

this place is a family-friendly upscale neighborhood pizzeria. i loved the patio seating and the happy hour deal ($19 for a pizza and a pitcher/bottle of wine)

mozzarella sticks 👍👍👍
margarita pizza 👍👍👍👍
chocolate cake 👍👍👍

there is a great mix between casualness and sophistication in the details and service that attracts families. there were many children of all ages last saturday night. they have some tables outside but there is not fence between the parking and the dining area. their bathroom are ready for all!

excellent selection of foods

so, i am a fan. what is nice is that there is a selection of foods compared to a typical pizza place. i enjoyed the small plates. the shrimp was good, the meatballs were good and the bread was excellent. other dishes i sampled were the chicken parmesan and the pizza.

we love this place for late sunday afternoon champagne and small plates.

champagne is very well priced by the bottle and food is consistently great. we usually get 3-4 small plates and a bottle of either moet (imperial or rose) or vueue. champagne is priced better than grocery stores and we love the atmosphere.here.

this is a great spot for pizza, salads and more! sit at the bar area for a casual, quick bite (but noisier), or get a table on the sidewalk when the weather allows. the main dining area is nice, too - and the service is friendly and fast. i've even come by on my own a time or two for a late lunch and they are super to singles. love the arugula salad - which usually fills me up when chicken is added - but their pizzas are wonderful!

i went out to bollo woodfired pizza on a saturday night with my girlfriend. they had a private parking lot with many spaces available, and when we walked in, we were seated right away. luckily, it wasn't super busy even though it was a saturday night. the restaurant and bar was dimly lit, and they had a private room in the back for more of an intimate setting. they also had an outdoor patio available.

the waitress told us that all of their pizzas were 12" large (8 small slices), so it would be wise to also order a small plate in addition to a pizza. she advised us that their two most popular small plates are the crispy calamari (side of marinara and tzatziki) for $12 and the lobster ravioli (tomatoes, creamy white truffle butter, and shaved salt parmesan) for $10. we ordered the lobster ravioli. it came with two raviolis, but they were quite large. it was good, but i wouldn't order it again.

we also ordered the diavola pizza. this was made with buffalo mozzarella, spicy salami, roasted red bells, arugula, and crushed red peppers for $15. the crust was soft like a thick piece of naan bread. the pizza was good, but nothing to rave about.

overall, i liked the restaurant and the food. the service was good. our waitress was polite, and she made sure to pick up empty plates from our table and give refills on drinks. if you're looking for a low-key dimly lit pizza joint, this is a good spot.

absolutely delicious wood fired pizza! our waiter was wonderful and the wait for our food was almost none. i enjoyed their seasonal frozen cocktail which included gin and a cucumber puree, among other elements. it was a perfect drink for a nice evening in june!

the oven, made in italy by a family specializing in pizza ovens is beautiful. i was told that when it arrived, it cleared the front door by inches. if you look at it just right, it does look like pac-man.

the pizza is very good. a crust with a chewy center with a crispy outer edge. very good ingredients. i look forward to trying other items on the menu in the near future.

a high point is the dessert gelati. three scoops of ice cream served in an attractive serving dish. i can see myself just popping in, seated in the bar area for dessert here.

great pizza, great meatball appetizer. all of the flavored and crust were exceptional. sausage, mushroom, ricotta, purple onion.

recommendation: it's an italian restaurant it should have at least two italian wines by the glass and they should be served at cellar, not bar counter temperature.

service was prompt and attentive.
