The Scene – Colorful glass chandeliers hang from the high ceilings and whimsical photographs adorn the walls in this comfortable and casual pizza joint. The airy space, open pizza oven and bold-colored decor create a hip and fun venue for gathering. Restaurant staff is upbeat and helpful. – – The Food – From fresh, hearty salads to pizza and pasta choices, the lengthy menu has something for everyone. For starters, the carpaccio arrives with a layer of thin beef draped over a bed of arugula with shaved Parmesan while the classic bruschetta is also a good choice. Pizzas,…

Apparently reservations are a joke!
by SoldGold at Citysearch
I made a reservation for 15 for my boyfriend's birthday party - A WEEK prior to the date. Then I changed it to 20 - THE DAY BEFORE. I called to confirm THE DAY OF the reservation, reminding them of the 15-to-20 change. Guess what? We got there, there was no area for us, the female manager (?) basically told me that they don't take reservations, one male manager (?) tried to split us into three groups - I mean, are you kidding me? We had a great time because we're fun people and got over it, but what a group of losers running the place. I would NEVER go back, and will NEVER recommend it. Even if the food was phenomenal (it was good, I've had better) it's not worth the hassle of condescending idiots running the place.
- Pros: yummy food
- Cons: they are unprofessional and obnoxious

I had a pizza delivered into my lap!!
by ziwi at Citysearch
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 at Citysearch
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
