I had a pizza delivered into my lap!!

by ziwi

I brought my cousin to Piola last Saturday because I liked the pizza.

When my hot pizza was brought to the table it slipped off the plate and landed onto my lap!

The hot cheese burned my finger and I had pizza all over my jeans! Awful!

The worst part is that I was actually charged for the pizza that fell into my lap AND the make-up pizza.

All we got were "sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry".....

I couldn't believe we were expected to pay for the make-up pizza after the first one landed on me and burned me!

Go to an Italian restaurant and pizzeria where they actually take care of their customers!

  • Cons: They don't take care of their customers, even after they made the mistake

Pizza, Cocktails, DESSERT!

by lizzyred8

Ordered a salad and 2 pizzas to split. Food was delicious, and more than enough to go around. Dessert was fantastic - vanilla ice cream in a cookie shell with some sort of deliciousness crumbled on top. Prices were definitely reasonable, with a dessert cocktail on the house.

  • Pros: pizza, salad, coctails, dessert

Great pizza, extensive menu

by aerogal619

Chipotle-looking kind of place, with high industrial ceilings, simple tables, and chrome fixtures. The pizza was yummy- I ordered mine with artichokes, of course. I also enjoyed a cold bottle of Peroni Italian birra. Dinner was only $11, not bad. As with many of my reviews about NYC restaurants, the service was slow and unfriendly. It wasn't bad and the food was good enough that it didn't matter. I would say this is a great choice if you want something inexpensive, easy and you?re in the neighborhood.
