Piola-Arlington

Great pizza. Good prices. Large enough place for lunch so there is no waiting for seats. Outside seating is available when the weather permits and the wait staff have always been great. Recommended.

I really enjoy eating at Piola. My husband and I have been going for several years, and I've never had a meal I didn't like! Pizza, pasta, appetizer, drinks are all excellent. Also, their tiramisu is the best I've had in the DMV, perfect amount of coffee, creaminess and fluffy ladyfingers. Love this place!

Best place for happy hour after work. 3 dollar beers, and 7 buck pizza which is really good. During happy hour they also pass out samples of other interesting pizzas. Also, staff is sooo nice!

Great wine deals and great pizza at a good price. The crust is literally amazing. I have never had bad service here, and always had a good experience.

This is one of my favorite happy hours in arlington. The prices are really reasonable, and the waitstaff come around with free snacks, giving you a taste of what is on the menu. One of the gnocchis (likely the one with the most cheese) was INCREDIBLE. I was very tempted to order a full plate of it.

I love their "happy hour" pizza deals! Great prices and good food. I've tried several different pizzas there and have liked every one!

Went for Pizza Brunch! Was a good experience, pizza came out quick and tasty. Really wish they let you customize more rather than just a few pre-selected combos.

I am so disappointed to hear this placed has closed. It was by far my favorite choice for pizza when I lived in Arlington and I continued to return every time I visited friends after I moved away. I hope they may be able to find a new location and consider opening again in the DC area.

This place was great! The pizza was wonderful, very unique and made fresh, which was a total win for our large group. The restaurant hosted nearly 50 persons in our large party and the high service level never suffered. We were between the dinning room and bar--standing, sitting and sometimes shouting gaily in laughter for engaging with our comrades from all over the US including Puerto Rico. It was a great time mixed with great food, great people and great service. Alex, at the bar, was totally pleasant. Thanks for a wonderful experience in this great city!

We love Piola, friendly staff, kid friendly environment (the chef/cook provides our kids with a mound of dough, sauce and pizza for them to stretch and put in the fire oven, perfect!). The pizzas here are the best we’ve had anywhere, you can order whatever you want. Also, come before 6pm and they cost 1/2 price - best deal, best quality in Rosslyn. Think of this place as an Italian pub. Easy, great food, and good value. With a family of four a few beers a generous tip, less than $40 before 6pm.

Great pizza. Tastes very fresh and authentic. Pizza is thin crust which I love but I want to point that out for those that do not. It makes it easy to quickly eat a whole pizza if you aren’t careful but it’s just that good. My favorite is the margarita but the four cheese is good as well. Have not tried to pasta but have heard good things about the gnocchi. Indoor seating area has a great vibe and when it’s warm out there’s a nice outdoor seating area. Highly recommend checking it out - one of the best pizza places in the area.

If you're able to get there in time, Piola has a "Pizza Time" special (Monday-Friday) where all pizzas are $6.78 from 4pm-5pm and $7.89 from 5pm-6pm, which is a very good deal. Piola has very authentic Italian style pizza, so for those who don't like the taste of "burnt" crust from the pizza being cooked in a brick fire oven, you might not like it as much as I did. That being said, every time I've gotten pizza from here, it has always tasted fresh, they've always gotten my order correct, and I end up eating the entire pizza because it is so good! Overall, if you're in the area and are looking for some really good pizza, I would highly recommend Piola due to their consistently delicious and fresh tasting pizzas. If you don't think you'd like the "burnt" taste these pizzas have, there's a Domino's right across the street... but, believe me, you'll like this pizza a lot more than Domino's, that's for sure.

Nice place, great location, pizza are really tasty, just need more choice for dessert. Service ok.

Great pizza and good prices during happy hour

Everytime I go, I order Le Vignole for an app and the Fusilli Bianco Verde for my entree. It is so good! Fun, funky atmosphere with rotating art, and a terrific happy hour. Its also one of the few places in Rosslyn thats open after 5pm, and their huge patio is killer on nice days. If its gourmet pizza you're craving, they bake it fresh in a brick oven to order right in front of you - try the whole wheat crust for a healthier option. Friday and saturday nights from 10pm-1am they have a pizza and beer combo that is perfect for party animals with taste.

Love their 29th of every month all you can eat gnocchi! I like their staff even though it tends to change often! I really like the pizza!

Went here for brunch on New Year's Day. They had a variety of specialty wood-fired pizzas on the brunch menu and all of the ones I sampled I enjoyed. My fiance also liked her omelette. They also had a nice selection of beer/wine/cocktails. They do offer a bottomless pizza option, but honestly I was satisfied after 2 pizzas, the 3rd (to make it a deal) was overkill. They also had a bottomless mimosa/bellini option, but I had had enough fun the night before so I didn't partake. There weren't many people there at all, maybe it was just because we were there pretty early in the day? Not a bad spot overall, I'd go back.

On the way to watch the fireworks in dc we stopped by this restaurant. We ordered a cheese pizza and it was alright. I don't really care for thin pizza and it didn't really have much sauce. I think the pizza would of been more suiting to my taste if I were to of ordered pepperoni so not really deducting points for that. For sure worth a try.

I usually order delivery, but have eaten there in person. I usually order pizza from here because I trust the quality of ingredients, however, the actual pizzas are only okay. The pizzas themselves are usually only cut into four large slices, and the ingredients seem thrown on for ornamental purposes rather than practical purposes. (and by ornamental, I mean, rustic looking. Large potions, irregularly scattered). Both of these factors make the individual slices very difficult to eat; the slices are too large, and the ingredients are too large to get a proportional amount in each bite. In fact, I ordered a pizza with prosciutto, and it came with four entire cuts of prosciutto (and if you know prosciutto, it's often chewy and difficult to rip apart with your teeth. It would have been easier to eat if it was cut into smaller strips). It's pretty hit-or-miss. I've eaten pizza here at least seven times and I'd say about four times the pizzas have been pretty bland. Like I said, I usually eat here because, though the taste could be lacking, I trust the integrity of the ingredients more than regular pizza places, even though the taste is usually lack-luster.

Piola's bar was good, and so were the prices. The staff was friendly, but during my Happy Hour there, they were out of some key ingredients. That was a drag. Still, I would return for tasty pizza and creative mixes.

It is a spacious international pizza chain restaurant. Service was fast and staff are friendly. They are supposed to have brunch on weekends, but weekend I visited, there was a marathon in Rosslyn, and they had different menu. They serve typical Italian fare, at a reasonable price.

I've been to Piola a few times, and their pizza is pretty tasty, although certainly not the best I've ever had. It's also a little pricey, so I recommend going during "pizza time", which is Monday through Friday between 4pm and 6pm. Their pizzas are only $6-8 at that point, which is nice. They generally have fairly good customer service. I will note, however, that you're probably better off sharing a pizza with someone else, because if you have any leftovers slices, your server will put them into a ROUND plastic container, smushing them in the process. Not ideal... And, the leftovers aren't that great anyway (cold or reheated). Definitely give this establishment a try -- it's a lot better than the Domino's across the street!

Though the ambiance has a lot left to be desired, & the service (ours anyway) though inexperienced including a slight language barrier was genuine & accommodating. The food & drinks were quite good. My wife and I had different pasta dishes with chicken. Cooked well & ingredients were fresh. The manager who may have been the owner. checked on us specifically checking that we weren't rushed, which was nice. Will be back again.

Tried for the first time. Great pizza, HH deal is $9 any pizza which was nice. They also gave out free apps during HH. The layout and setting of the place is really good. There's a bar, outdoor sitting, and traditional dining areas.

I was staying at the Hyatt, nearby, and used Google to find this place based on the reviews. I wasn't disappointed. The pizzas are good as is the standard for other dishes. Welcoming and non- pretentious. Nice (p.s. they do a good gin and tonic as well)

Oh No! The best real Italian pizza ever! The place needed a little update in the interior decoration but the pizzas were very good, fresh the ingredients and wonderfully cooked the dough. 😭 ...

I tried the Margherita pizza. It was very good. I would have liked the thin crust to have been more crispy (it was actually flimsy on some pieces) but the pizza was still very good. Sat at the bar during lunch, with prompt service.

The quattro formagio is delicious pizza. They have other great pies as well. The happy hour is decent for their house wine foe $5.50 and free appetizers coming around. Their beer selection is really poor. Italy does have some good beers, but they don't offer any of them. (Peroni is not one of Italy's good beers) There's not much open in Rosslyn after work hours, but this place is great. They have outdoor seating when it's warm. The staff is friendly.

Happy hour has well priced drinks but my favorite thing here is the free food they pass out during happy hour. Free pizza slices and pasta. It's all very nice of the staff for doing this! The service is great! The lunch specials are good. You will pay between 7-11 dollars for a meals at lunch here.

I took my two young kids here for dinner one night while we were visiting the sites in DC and staying at a local hotel. The waitress, seeing that I had my hands full with two hungry kids, quickly brought a plate of bread and some drinks, and got our pizza order fired faster than I expected. Because it's a brick oven, the pizza comes out really fast, which was great. She also mentioned it was happy hour and even got my second beer order in just ahead of the end so I could get the discount. Great work! Prices were pretty reasonable, the pizza was top notch, and they had a nice selection of drinks at the bar. And the service was really great!

dry pasta, had to ask for a side of sauce and no spoon! brought the bread at end of meal,gave me a full salad, not a side like I asked and brought me salad dressing I did not ask for. thin crust pizza was mushy on bottom, not crispy

Mixed feelings. Not a typical pizza place. Food was good but we were looking for more of a share a big pie and a pitcher of beer kind of place and this was more of a hipster fru fru place. Pizza was good and generous for one person. I had a chicken dish and it was good also. Started off with each of us getting a beer. Waitress never asked if we would like another.

Bottomless brunch is okay if you're looking for decent pizza and unlimited drinks, quantity over quality. The tapas are a nice touch. They also have a good price on beers for happy hour.

Pizza was good. But I did not get what I ordered. Waiter was very nice but he did not understand so I gave up. The avacodo dip was amazing but definitely not enough bread comes with it. Only about enough bread for half. Don't bother asking for more he either doesn't understand and you just will not get it.

My senior manager took me along with a few new employees here for lunch one day. I've heard many great things about this place from my coworkers so I was really excited for this. We came here at the typical lunch time but it felt like it was pre or post lunch hour. The place was quiet and nothing like its busy neighboring cafe Asia. The place however is much bigger and felt a lot more comfortable. I thought the food was alright but it didn't wow me. But its still a nice restaurant that I would bring people to eat there when I am around the area.

We liked the Rio pizza a lot! But the sweet one kind have counted strawberries. The environment is good, the waitress had a difficult time to understand us. Overall, great but not excellent experience.

The pizza looked fantastic but the cheese taste was very strong to the point the pizza wasn't that great. Did you use goat cheese or something!

I've eaten at Piola twice. Both times the food and the service were unimpressive. The pizza is waxy and the service is mechanical. The only redeeming feature is the beer selection, which is small but tasteful.

Took forever to get waited on and it was not busy the evening we were there. Service was fast. Got our food quick. And that’s the best thing I can say about the pizza. Thin crust was soggy and toppings were .... sparse. $40 for ok pizzas Coulda done better at the hut. But hey, the beer was good.

Ordered the Brooklyn pizza which had shredded chicken and broccoli... was cold and dry. Barely any sauce on the pizza.. I also ordered a tiramisu, which had no lady fingers in it, flavors were good, but it was just mushy. Luckily I had a Digornio pizza in the oven; I ended up eating that instead.
