Il Pizzaiolo Wood-fired Pizza

Such a perfect pizza shop for Loomis. It's lovely, quaint and delicious! We enjoy our time here every time.

This place is delicious! The crust is perfect with a nice combination of chewy and crispy. All the ingredients are fresh and the pizza have just the right amount. We had the chicken calzone and the two kids loved it so much they wanted to order another one.  We also had the Napoli and the salsiccia. Both were delicious. The sausage tasted like it was house made with just the right amount of spice. The Napoli was my favorite out of the two though. It does take a bit to get your food but that's because everything is made fresh order. Give them a try! More...

We we're driving through and decided to stop by here to geT a quick bite. We were met with a big smile  and wonderful customer service. This was a treat after an awful day on the road trying to get through the snow. The restaurant was clean and pizza was delicious! This place is a little hidden gem! More...

Great customer service. Fast, hot food, clean (not oily). If you want something light, this is a great choice. Never have been let down.

One of my favorite pizza places! The crust is delicious and so are the different toppings.

This is the most delicious pizza of this style I have ever had.  Really.  We had the sausage pizza which was phenomenal.  The sausage is homemade and I loved how it was very finely crumbled rather than chunks you typically find. We also ordered the prosciutto and arugula pizza.  I didn't love it as much as the prosciutto was a bit tough and very salty.  The arugula helps cut it.We also ordered two Caesar salads. All of this fed two adults and two young kids (7 and 3 yo).Definitely a must visit! More...

If I could, I would marry the pizza here (sorry, fiancé!) We east coasters are very picky/pretentious about our pizza. Il Pizzaiolo has the best pizza in the Sacramento area and probably all of NorCal - chewy crust, sauce made with San Marzano tomatoes, and the perfect toppings. Every specialty pizza is to die for. You can tell they love pizza here- they even ship the ingredients in from Italy!! I have been worried about bringing my friends here, because I know if they don't like the pizza I can't be friends with them anymore, but I also don't want to deny my loved ones of this perfect pizza. Il Pizzaiolo, are you happy with yourself Because you should be!! More...

Love love love the garlic fire-wood baked bread sticks! Addictive! To say the least. For less than $6 and you get 6 tiny crusted bread sticks smothered in olive oil, garlic and parsley! This is the only way bread sticks should be made. More...

The pizza is OUTSTANDING!

Il pizzaiolo has the best pizza around by far! Our favorites are the #4 and #8 but you have a choice of many different toppings. Cooking in a wood burning pizza oven makes all the difference. Everything is so fresh. The breadsticks are to die for...garlic for days. And don't forget to save space for their home made Cannoli or Tiramisu! Either one will take you away to your "happy place". The owners, Jacqueline and Peter make you feel like you've just walked into a place where "everyone knows your name". Super family friendly! More...

The flavorful key that sets this pizza apart from others is the use of fresh local ingredients. I wish I would've been able to take a pic of the garden salad, but it was attacked as soon as it hit the table. It was way too tempting, with veggies and greens bright and beautiful.My only regret was not saving room for the gelato. I guess there's always next time ‍ More...

Pizzaiolo is a staple in our house. The pizza is amazing with great ingredients, awesome flavor profiles and the perfect thin crust. If you're looking for garbage pizza, this won't be for you. The pizzas are made in the old world style and taste homemade! I highly recommend whatever their special is for the month and, if you're not averse to meat, their house made sausage is quite the treat. If you're in the mood for dessert you can't go wrong with their cannoli, just make sure to get 4 as they are smaller and you'll regret it if you don't. More...

Fantastic find! We are camping nearby and came into town to get a bite to eat. I was not expecting to find something this good. The owner came out to greet us and explained how they import the flour from Italy, and make their own sausage, tomato sauce and ranch dressing. Very cool little spot! More...

Always reserve 5 stars for places that earn it in every way.  Pizzaiolo is no exception. Owner David Nagy is a former Silicon Valley Product Manager and it shows. His attention to detail and engineering approach to his latest en-devour is a labor of love.His meticulous quest for perfection is evident in every creation that comes out of this simple kitchen on a basic street on little 'ol Colfax, CA.These pizzas are authentic to traditional Italian ingredients, methods and finishes.From the authentic Soupy Center to the the Leopard Spotted Crust and the very authentic San Marzano-style tomatoes, this true Neapolitan pizza is about the dough, tomato sauce and olive oil.  That's it.Perfection.

Such fantastic pizza!!!The pies here are amongst the best I've had. Aside from the combination of toppings offered for the various signature pizzas, I think the real secret here is the dough. It's SO good!  The crust ultimately makes the pizza what it is. If you can't find a signature pizza to your liking, you're more than welcome to build your own. Love this place so much! More...

We were in Colfax and wanted to go on a picnic at a winery.  We heard good things about this place and since we are Italian, we are hard critics of Italian restaurants.  We ordered a pizza with arugula, meatballs and caesar salad.  The owner packed it all up with plates, forks, napkins, hot pepper flakes....Then we drove to Lucchesi Winery, got a glasses of their excellent cabernet sauvignon to go with our lunch.  The beautiful area that they have for picnics overlooks their 50 acres of vines as well the Sierra mountains.  What a perfect spot to enjoy a wonderful meal.  The food was all great.  To Kristin who said that it was overpriced, you are a cheap skate.  It's not overpriced.  And 3 of us shared the caesar salad.  So unless you used a pitch fork for your two bite salad, it's enough to split with others.  The food here is authentic, fresh and good quality ingredients.

The pizza here is absolutely amazing! The pizza dough is soooo good! They make home made croutons which I'd gladly buy separately just to eat plain because they're so good. The staff is always polite friendly and the service is great. The pizza is usually done within a few minutes upon order. Hidden gem for sure! More...

The pizzas here are diminutive, but exceedingly delicious.  Each pizza is about 11", perfect for one. My 10 year old loved her mushroom pizza with the tangy red sauce, while my wife had hers with the white sauce. My son opted for the pizza margarita. All are topped with what tastes and feels like genuine whole milk mozzarella -stringy, creamy, and filling. The red sauce has a nice zing to it, with a healthy dose of oregano topping the list of herbs. The basil on the margarita was fresh and zesty.  The wood fired oven had the pizzas done in no time. For the quality you get, they are very reasonably priced. Be prepared for a small seating area- it seats about two dozen people, maximum- but man is it worth it. If you're near Colfax, or just on your way to or from Tahoe (as we were), I highly recommend Il Pizzaiolo. More...

We stopped here on our back from Tahoe to Sacramento after reading the reviews. It lived up to the hype! We had the rosmarino with mozzarella, red onions and rosemary, it was incredible. With all good wood fired pizza it's all about the dough, it was soft and flavorful and the toppings just enhanced it. Absolutely stop here if you are anywhere near Colfax. More...

I keep coming back! My wife and I love real pizza (quality crust, sauce, cheese), and this is one of the few places that can truly be called "real" pizza. There is something about the dough/crust that makes me keep coming back, even after trying all of the good pizza places near Sacramento. I've had so many mind-blowing food experiences here! Their margherita is flawless, and their "white"/oil pizzas are also divine (normally don't like anything but red). The owners and staff are super friendly and knowledgable as well. The location is also wonderful.I can't recommend it enough! More...

The pizza is amazing, the beer list is always rotating local great beers, and now they offer a Sunday dinner that is a gastronomic explosion of goodness.
