Menu was easy to understand and had a lot of options. Ordered with a gentleman at the front who was very nice and welcoming. You sit yourself, and it was not busy so not an issue and it was a quiet environment. Food was delicious! Got the #2 and #9. The dough tastes great. Got the option to add parmesan on top as well. Would recommend to all.

Went for a Galentine's dinner here! Food was really good! The pizza was warm and really fresh ingredients! I'm giving it 4 stars because I feel like you should be able to order at your table and not stand in line. And it could be a little more upscale in the interior! But overall customer service was good! And I will be happy to go back!

By far the best pizza I've found in the area. Keep in mind they serve pizza sizes meant for solo or couple eating. Reco getting a few - the Margherita is my favorite. And do NOT miss the tiramisu...don't share this one; it's worth it all to yourself.

We got pizzas and a kids pasta dish for our son. It was delicious! Walking into the restaurant to pick up our order, it smelled so good inside. Staff was so friendly! We would've dined inside if we weren't wiped out from traveling all day. The restaurant was so cozy inside and it was tempting lol.

Fabulous pizzas, with hand-made bases and fresh ingredients. The pepperoni is good. Our favorite is the plain base, brushed with garlic oil and grated parmesan and the house Chardonnay. It's a hybrid between a restaurant and self-order. Staff are friendly and the premises are clean and viby.

Wow... we were craving Italian for Friday lunch. Many of the places we have on our list to try don't open until late afternoon. So we had errands to run and picked Il Vicino. We have been there twice. Once just coming back from COVID and again over a year ago. We usually opt for pizza and salad. This time we got there just before the large crowd right after it opened. It quickly filled up and the line was out the door. We were a bit concerned as the hostess taking orders was also juggling taking orders out to tables. She was very friendly and made great recommendations! We ordered two extra large beers which were served icy cold. As I said we really wanted pasta. We ordered the penne arrabbiata and the Della casa salad with their creamy Parmesan dressing. She split the salad for us on two plates. We loved the dressing and the romaine was fresh and perfectly dressed. The penne was fantastic and the pasta was perfect. The dish came out piping hot and the heat level was on point. The restaurant is pretty small but seeing the wood burning pizza oven and the smell of pizza was also fun! Service after items were dropped at the table was also exceptional as we wound up purchasing a bottle of their picante olive oil... We will be back soon the Rustic pizza is calling!

Great spot for pizzas!! They are very flexible and will customize any pizza for you. We had the vegetariano pizza, with the cheese on 1/2 since Jamie is lactose intolerant. Yum! The pizzas can be for one, or shared for two. We were good sharing a pizza. They also have smaller personal sized pizzas which we have not yet tried. Also looking good, which we have also not tried, are their calzones. Highly recommended!!

One of the standout features of Il Vicino is undoubtedly their wood-fired pizzas. Customers rave about the Margherita pizza, boasting a perfect balance of fresh ingredients and a crispy crust. As a food reviewer, I was particularly taken by the vibrant flavors and textures presented in their specialty options, including the delicious combinations of roasted chicken and pesto or classic marinara topped with melty mozzarella. Additionally, the Pollo e Pesto panini is an excellent choice for those seeking a satisfying sandwich with roasted chicken and artichoke hearts.

Furthermore, don't overlook the Tiramisu, a house favorite that has garnered praise and is often described as a must-try. Each bite resonates with rich flavors, making it the perfect sweet ending to your meal. The friendly and attentive service enhances the experience, ensuring that each visit feels personal and welcoming, much like dining at a friend’s home.
